Uni:. of Oregon Library EUGENE, OREGON Girl is raped, brutally beaten at Madras given description of assailant By Phil F. Brogan Bulletin Stiff Writer MADRAS A 14-year-old girl was brutally beaten, raped and threatend with death about 11 o'clock Friday night when on her way home in the south part of Madras following a visit with friends. The attack occurred two months to the night on which Judi Reed' er, 17, was killed in Bend. How ever, no connection between the two cases was established in the preliminary investigation. Hysterical, the Madras girl was taken to the Redmond District Hospital. Officers in their preliminary in vestigation were able to obtain little information from the girl, aside from a fairly good descrip tion of her attacker, apparently a middle-aged man. Description Given The attacker was described as about 5 feet 8 or 5 feet 10, with dark hair. He was smooth sha ven, and wore a leather jacket with zipper pockets. He was wearing levis, and a belt with a large buckle. The girl indicated the man car ried a light revolver, and appar ently had a knife which he threat ened to use if necessary. Investigating officers said the at tack occurred in a brushy portion of Vista Addition, which overlooks the Cascades from the higher country just south of town. The girl was walking through the area at the rear of quarters occupied by a realty firm when she was accosted. Severely Beaten She was severely beaten over the head, possibly with the re volver, and also suffered other In juries. She bled considerably. Her attacker possibly was scratched about the face and hands. Dazed and hysterical, the girl made her way from the unculti vated, brushy area at the rear of the realty firm to her grandmoth er's home, several blocks distant. The girl's parents do not live in Madras. There Is a possibility the girl wandered for some time through the scarcely settled new addition before reaching her grandmoth er's residence, where she makes her home. Officers and the city ambulance were immediately called. Officers Alerted State, county and city officers were alerted. The search for the attacker continued through the night, but no arrests had been made up until noon today. The girl was to be questioned again today. Despite the fact that officers do not connect the Madras case with the Bend murder two months ago last night, similarities were not ed. Like the Bend girl, the Mad ras youngster was beaten over the head. ' And like the Bend case, the Madras girl was alone. Both at tacks occurred in late evening of a Friday night. Catholic school boycott is urged NEW ORLEANS (UPI) - A top Louisiana segregationist Friday night urged fellow Roman Catho lics to boycott the more than 150 parochial schools marked for de segregation next fall and to with hold all financial support to the huge archdiocese of New Orleans. Leander H. Perez Sr., speaking from a podium draped with a Confederate flag, told a rally of the Citizens Council of Greater New Orleans, that white parents should "take their children out of every Catholic school. . .cut off their water (church contributions) . . .make them stop serving the cause of communism." Perez denounced the desegrega tion order earlier this week by New Orleans Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel as a "black curse on the 75.000 white Catholic children" affected. Mrs. Motschman's case continued Mrs. Aloha Motschman, 61, who was committed to the Oregon State Hospital at Pendleton after she was charged with shooting her husband, Harry, on January 25, still is not able to assist in her own defense. Circuit Judge Rob ert H. Foley ruled Friday after noon. Her arraignment on a sec ond degree murder charge was continued. Mrs. Motschman was transfer ed from the Pendleton hospital to the Salem institution about three weeks ago. She was accompanied here yesterday by Dr. John A. Waterman, psychiatrist for the State Board of Health, and a hos pital attendant She was returned to the Salem hospital last night. ro ice THE BEND 59th Year V Wv If-- ftps V 1,.., p Wife,',; WHAT'S ALL THIS JAZZ?

Chamber helps on reservations for Seattle fair The Bend Chamber of Com merce office is now in the busi ness of making housing reserva tions for visitors to the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle, and plans are in the works to expand the facilities. Manager Marion Cady Friday told Chamber directors of plans to install a direct "hot" wire phone to Expo-Lodging head quarters m Seattle. This direct line will be open 14 hours a day. Visitors to Bend can use it to make reservations in Seattle at the Chamber office dur ing the summer months. Other such direct phone lines will be placed in Grants Pass, Eugene, Newport and Portland. Forms at Office However. Cady asked local res idents who plan to attend the fair to make reservations now via mail. Forms can.be secured at the Chamber office. The direct line will work as fol lows: If a visitor arrives from California in Bend and tells his motel or hotel host that he doesn't have lodging reservations, all he has to do is ask the Chamber here to make such reservations. The visitor will be given a con firmed reservation slip and can drive on to Seattle with the knowl edge that his room is being made ready. Cadv said that the line will be kept open 24 hours a day if traf fic warrants. A possible agree mnt with Pacific Trailways. for night operation when the Cham ber office is closed, has been dis cussed with William Niskanen, general manager. Of Great Help "We think the direct line will be of great help to our visitors this summer," Cady said. Pcgsy Sawyer, Cady's assist ant, will visit Seattle in the near future to take a training course in use of the Expo-Lodging phone and reservation kit.

Eight Pages No lodging shortage, gouging at Century 21 'Contrary to what you might have heard, there will be plenty of lodging and little, if any goug ing, at the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle," Bend Chamber Di rectors were told at their weekly meeting Friday. Speaker was W. W. Marsh, pub lic relations consultant from Port land. Marsh was in Bend in be half of Century 21. "Rumors about lack of lodging are totally untrue and could dam age the exposition," Marsh said. 'There will be an excess of lodg ing at reasonable prices. AU we ask is that people in Oregon get their housing reservations in as early as possible," he said. Special Committee Marsh also said that price gouging will be controlled by a special exposition committee. He painted a glowing picture of benefits Oregon will receive from tourists en route to the Seattle show. "We will get two chances at them, once coming and once going home. If we welcome them and give them good service, many of them will return to Oregon for their vacations," Marsh said. He said that letters received in dicate that most people will be taking their entire vacation to spend traveling to the exposition, visiting, and returning home. "This could mean many hund Begun in March, Construction of road in Cove recalled Deep in the gorge of Crooked River, close to the Cove Pali sades State Park camping area, there is much activity these spring days. Under construction is the new highway which will swing up stream on Crooked River m a huge "hairpin," along the high water mark of the big lake that will take shape in the area on the completion of the Round Butte Dam. It is a lake that will flood the present Cove Park camping sites, and the highway that cross es Crooked River near the PP&L power plant, which will also be CENTRAL OREGON'S Bend, Deschutes reds of extra days spent in Ore gon," he said. He urged Chamber members to welcome the visitors and encourage them to stay an extra day. "Oregonians themselves will be missing thj chance of a lifetime if they don't visit the exposition," Marsh said. He said that the edu cational aspects of the science and industry exhibits alone are worth the trip and especially en couraged parents to take their children. Warning Issued About 30 per cent of the people visiting the fair will have reser vations. The remaining 70 per cent will be traveling to Seattle without reservations. Marsh said that Expo-Lodging, the company setting up lodging, will be able to take care of everyone. But, he warned, A visitor will be guaran teed of desired lodging only through making an eariy reserva tion. In other business, the directors, meeting at West's Coffee Shop, agreed to join the proposed East ern Oregon Chamber of Com merce: discussed a proposed high' way information booth; and ac cepted an Alpine Industries offer to pay for space for the Chamber in the Lions Club Home Show in May. 1912 inundated. The road work revives for a Bend man memories ut just 50 years ago. He is Walter May, who In March. 1912, undertook the con struction of the present road through the park bottom, then west across the "saddle" between Crooked and Deschutes Rivers snd up the steep western slope of the Deschutes to Grandview. The road built by May and his crew that ranged from 35 to 50 men was a Crook County project: The Cove gorge at that time was in Crook County. Neither Jeffer BULLETIN DAILY NEWSPAPER County, Oregon, Saturday, JFK names Byron White to high court WASHINGTON (UPI) AU time football great Byron R. (Whizzer) White's Supreme Court appointment had the blessing of congressional leaders today. President Kennedy Friday night appointed White, the 44-year-old deputy attorney general, to suc ceed retiring Justice Charles Ev ans Wmttaker. Kennedy said he chose White because of his "character, exper ience and intellectual force." Key members of Congress agreed with Kennedy. The ap pointment, which must be con firmed by the Senate, appeared destined for smooth sailing. There was, however, some negative re action. It was the high point in a me teoric rise which brought White from hoeing beets and waiting ta bles to get through college to glory on the gridiron and a Rhodes scholarship. Believed More Liberal It was not immediately clear how the appointment would tip the present balance of a liberal-conservative conflict on the court, although White was generally felt to be more liberal than his pre decessor. Whittaker, who has been ailing for some time, officially leaves the bench Sunday on the advice of his doctor. The appointment, Kennedy's first to the high court, would mean that it would be made up of six Democrats and three Republicans. White would be Its youngest mem ber. In Denver for speaking engage ments, White said "I'm very hon ored." Sen. James O. Eastland, D- Miss., chairman of the Judiciary Committee which must confirm the appointment, said there were many areas of disagreement be tween him and White but he would make "an able Supreme Court justice." He said White was "an able lawyer, honest and conscientious. I will support him." ' Backed By Bar White, AU-American back at the University of Colorado and later an all-pro player who reached the Football Hall of Fame, also had the warm support of the Ameri can Bar Association for the $35,- 000 a year position. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., said he "could not be any happier" with the ap pointment Senate Republican Leader Ev erett M. Dirksen, 111., said White is "one of those solid people" who makes a decision and stands by it But Rep. George Meader, R Mich., said Kennedy had appoint ed "a totally unqualified political minion." He said the President had "shown his contempt for the Su preme Court, the law, the legal profession and the people of the United States." White and Kennedy have been friends for 20 years, ever since they met in London while Kenne dy's father was U.S. ambassador there. Continued fair weafher expected Fair weather is to continue over the weekend. This was the good news from the U.S. Weather Bureau in Port land today as Central Oregon en joyed its third consecutive day of sunshine. Not a cloud appeared Friday as the mercury reached 60 degrees. Even higher temperatures are in prospect over the weekend, forecasts indicate. AU mountain roads were In Rood shape this morning. son nor Deschutes had yet been created. May's crew started the road work well up the slope, on the Culver side, and worked toward Crooked River, where the only crossing was a footbridge. As the work progressed, it was neces sary to get a team and wagon on the west side of Crooked River. To do this.

They are Doran and Albert Lee Rose, 34, driver of the car in which Doran was riding when the men were picked up and question ed in connection with the slaying of the Bend girl. Doran "confes sed" and Rose was held on a traffic charge. A third man, Leon ard C. Estes, 37, was released. Investigating officers ascertain ed Rose was in Watertown, S.D., on the day following the death of Okay given mountain area program WASHINGTON (UPI) Secre tary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman Friday announced ap proval of a forest service state ment of objectives and policies for management of the high mountain areas of the national forests In Oregon and Washington. Freeman said the forest service statement was the result of a thorough study of its existing pol icies. "I believe It will assure protec tion jf the valuable scenic assets of the high mountain country and provide for development of umber and other resources, Freeman said. Last June Freeman requested that no resource development be started In the Minam River, Wal do Lake and North Cascades areas pending his review and ap proval of a management policy. Freeman said some recreation organizations opposed forest serv ice proposals to make these areas accessible to multiple-use man agement with emphasis on family type recreation such as camping, picnicking, hunting, fishing, and boating. These organizations want ed the areas preserved as wilder ness with access limited to horse or foot travel. Under the policy approved by Freeman, in those parts of the high mountain areas classified for recreational purposes, they are to maintain a thrifty, healthy forest cover that is aesthetically pleas ing. This means that in the high country area there will not be commercial timber cutting In the usual sense. This policy does not apply to the basic timber produc tion areas at lo'ver elevations where recreational values are not predominant. The forest service statement emphasized the great increase in recreation use. If present trends continue, recreation use may reach 25 million visits in 1975, and 70 million visits by the year 2000. down the long peninsula. There the wagon was lowered over Ue towering rim with ropes. May recalls that the entire job, about four and a half miles of grading, was done with pick and shovel. Men came into the gorge by the dozen, seeking work. On the Grandview slope of the Deschutes, where rocky rims overlook the gorge.

In the meantime, Rose became irrational and a hearing was held Friday with Dr. John A. Water man, Oregon Mate Board oi Health psychiatrist and Dr. R. L. Cutter present. The hearing was held in the district court room and Rose was committed. Rose was described as being highly irrational this past week. At the hearing, Rose retusea to answer questions. Club leader faces charges PORTLAND (UPI) The presi dent of the Booker T. Washington political club. Arthur James Palmer, 34, was arrested here Friday night on a federal indict ment charging violation of federal narcotics laws. Palmer, owner of the Desert Motel, was booked and held un der $25,000 bail. Federal agents said his arrest climaxed a joint federal-city nar cotics investigation which began last October.

It specifies nine counts of violation of federal law includ ing conspiracy to import heroin from Mexico and distribution in the Portland area. Federal agents said the investi gation reached Tijuana, Mexico, where a source of supply has his headauarters.

One was over the Deschutes, the other over Crooked River. May also recalls the cost of the entire project of building the first road across the Cove: It was $22,000.

No. 98 Florida town of Milton is heavily hit By United Press International Tornado funnels his communities in the Southland today on the southern end of a storm front , which stretched from Maine to Louisiana. Winds which were described as a tornado smashed at the town of Milton in northwest Florida. First reports from the sheriff's office said at least one person was dead and several were in jured. Property damage was re- . ported high. Buildings were knocked down and house trailers were tossed about by the Milton winds. The ' winds tore through the town on a northeasterly course, hitting both business and residential neighbor hoods. Picks up Car Byrd Mapoles, manager of ra dio station WEBY, was driving to work when the winds hit He said, "I lay down in the seat as the wind picked up the car and turned it around several times. It threw me against a big gas truck." A nearby building was "com pletely gone," Mapoles said, and five men were left standing un hurt where the building had been. Mapoles said, "we looked for houses we know are supposed to. be there, but they're gone." Earlier, the weather bureau re-, ported a tornado near Walker, La.
