"I do not know," Morse said. "whether they (UPI) write what they do out of prejudice, ig norance, or both, but certainly they do not very often write factually. "What do you expect of a wire service which, as was pointed out in public hearings earlier this year in connection with some of its so-called for eign news, was perfectly willing to take money to write alleged or purported news stories at least that would be the interpre tation of the readers whereas the stories really were lobby services by United Press to foreign governments, foreign concern and foreign clients. (In New York, a UPI spokes man said the news service had never taken money from a for eign government or anyone else to distribute news in their be half and that no evidence to that effect came from the Sen ate Foreign Relations Commit tee hearing this year.) Morse also noted that the UPI story reported that the Oregon senator spoke Friday to a near empty chamber since the only other senator present was the presiding officer. what torn my rot is this to seek the downgrading of a sena tor.. .by sending out that kind of shoddy reporting?" Morse asked, "based upon the falla cious premise that unless we are talking to a full Senate we are not performing service for our constituency 'But so long as the American press continues to follow a pro gram of concealing such fuels as it wishes to conceal, Morse said, I repeat that the Ameri can people arc not enjoying a free press but a rigged press time and time again in its re porting policy.,",; .'..,' .

City Council Considering Harvard Avenue Repairs Frustrated bv attempts to pro vide a wholesale widening im nrnvement for West Harvard Boulevard, the Roseburg City .COUUCll la uuw UUI1A11I6 itii.. L ;u t ,u nMklam oi a repair juu iui ihc iwuivm street. At a meeting Monday night the council adoDted a new pol- iicy for Harvard. The policy proposes redecKing itarvaru from West Ballf to Melrose Road during the fiscal year which begins July 1, 1964. (The "nolicv" step was the only method of handling this section since the citv has no funds in the present budget forj such work and cannot, ot course, commit funds for the next fiscal period). Backyard Death Trap Councilman Fred Kelly, who made the motion calling for the policy step, described Harvard as "a death trap in our own hack vard." This was in refer ence to the lack of sidewalks and hazardous road shoulder conditions. The council also decided to approach the Douglas County Court again, tins time to see if the countv would aid the city on a maintenance basis. Mothers' March Total Reported More than $2,300 has been realized so far in the drive for funds in the Mucular Dystrophy Campaign. According to Emil Rambcrg. campaign chairman, a total of $2,355.75 has been donated through the Mothers' March and four special events. As always, the March brought in the greatest amount SI,- 881.55.- The golf tournament, teen dance, rummage sale and coffee break added another $474.20 to the fund. Ramberg said that cannistcrs and coin boards will be out until Jan. 1, and if they bring in the same amount as last year, the total for the 19G4 MD Campaign will be $2,600. - . y .. tw i break resistant 7 JMh. Two local officials of the state Highway Department appeared at the council session to toss in a couple more ideas on Har vard design. They were L. R. (Pop) Chandler, Southwest Ore gon division engineer for the department, and Glen Clark, di vision traffic engineer. Couplet Plan Aired These officials discussed the possibility of developing a coup let system through the West i Roseburg area, with Harvard retained as one leg of the couplet. West Brown was dis cussed as a possible second leg. Proposals involving other com binations of couplet design were presented. Mayor Thomas Garrison said city officials have given the couplet idea some thought. "But we usually end up throwing our hands in the air," he said. Many knotty commercial - eco nomic and residential right-of-way problems enter the picture in couplet considerations, city officials have found. In other business, the coun cil provided local approval for renewal of a state business li cense as a wrecker of motor vehicles for Lester E. Walker, 2S56 NE Diamond Lake Blvd. State approval is also required for such an operation. Police Chief John Truett recommend ed approval of the license but said the owner of the business has been advised he must com ply more closely with regula tions regarding the number of vehicles which can be kept in side and outside of the yards. Lease Amended The council also amended an ordinance covering lease terms at Roseburg airport. The amend ment allows the city to lease space rentals for terms of not to exceed 15 years (it was 10) with option to renew for an additional five years. The amendment accommodated the plans of Donald Hunt who plans to operate an aircraft mainten ance repair service in a build ing to be constructed at the airport but required longer lease conditions due to his financing arrangements for the improve ment. f .
