Grant Bulletin Staff Writer An attractive teen-age girl, with curly short brown hair and long dark eye-lashes, sat on a bench outside one of the dormitories at the Hillcrest School for Girls. She held a pink slip of paper over her face, to shield herself from the casual glances of a deputy shcr- derway today. The grand champion steer was entered by Jack McCall of Pow ell Butte, with Rene Macy's ani mal taking reserve champion hon ors. The Macy animal is from Culver. Eddie Barnum, Tumalo, enter eo the grand champion market lamb and Sarah Mele, Redmond, entered the reserve animal in the lamb class. Gary Sachtjen, Bend, entered the grand champion hog, with Su san Walker, also of Bend, enter ing the reserve champion. The champions and reserve champions will be the first ani mals offered for sale this eve ning when the auction begins, in front of the baseball park grand stand. Weather forecast indicate a mild evening is in prospect for the auction, the highlight of the three day show. Hillcrest School for Girls, Sal lem, like other state institution,, is open to groups or individuals for tours. A Deschutes county girl was committed to the school this week. She was taken to Salem by Melvin Newhouse, deputy sheriff, accompanied by lla S. Grant, a Bend Bulletin reporter, who acted as matron on the trip. Newhouse and Mrs. Grant made a tour of the school at the invitation of the supervisor. Im pressions are described in the accompanying article. brown, and filled with tears. A bell rang, and a horde of young girls some in colorful cotton print dresses, some in shorts and blouses a few in smocks and skirts poured out of the building.

Every girl residing there has been committed by the courts for an indefinite time. Eligibility for release before she reaches her majority, under the supervision of a social worker, is dependent upon a demonstrated proper adjustment and realization of maximum benefits from the school training program. Each girl's progress at the school is evaluated monthly by the staff and conferences are held with her to formulate both pres ent and future plans.

Twelve property owners In the East Third Street - Franklin Ave nue to Revere Avenue Improve ment District No. 348 won thoir case against the City of Bend Friday in circuit court. A jury up hold their contention that their property was not improved by the widening of U.S. Highway 97, and that the assessments were not valid. The jury was out less than an hour. The city has 30 days in which to appeal. The 12 were the only property owners in the district who filed an appeal before the deadline last December 20. Others in the dis trict are obligated to pay the as sessment, and some already have. The situation is unique, in that there are no precedents of simi lar cases going to the Oregon Su preme Court. The civil suit was based on a 1939 Oregon statute, which permits appeals from as sessments unless a law enacted by a municipality takes precedence. The city's share of improve ment of the highway from Frank lin to Revere involved some $52, 000. In keeping with the policy in similar instances, this assessment was passed on to the property owners. There is a different situa tion in the improvement of Uie highway from Revere to the north city limits. Because this is new construction, the state pays the entire cost Appellants who won their case yesterday were excused from a total of $5,000 in assessments. They are: Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Boyle, Ophelia B. Phelps, Mr. and Mrs. Oakley C. Prosser, Jes sie Peoples, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Links. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Martin. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Richard J.

SHOP SAVES SOLES SPENCER, Iowa (UPI) Ad vertisement by a shoe rcpair shop in a commercial publication this week: "We doctor them, heel them, at tend to their dyeing and save their soles." DETROIT (UPI) Two bank robbers were shot to death Friday night when they tried to battle their way out of a police cordon after they robbed a suburban Taylor, Mich., bank of some $22,-000. The men holed up in a drain age ditch in a wooded area in sub urban Southgate, Mich., after they were run down by police. A small scale gun-battle followed with an estimated 50 shots fired. Police identified the bandits as Robert Chalmers, 28, Romulus Township, Mich., and Orie W'yatt, 37, Hamilton, Ohio. They said Wyatt flew here Friday morning from Covington, Ky. Wyatt entered the Taylor branch of the Wyandotte Savings Bank shortly before closing time, witnesses told police. Wellington S. LaBelle, 59, a customer, told officers he followed the bandit in to the bank. Pulls Gun Once inside, the desperado pulled a gun and shoved it in the back of the bank manager, La- Belle said. The gunman then forced the manager to lead him behind the tellers' cages and the robber scooped up the money from the cash drawers. As Wyatt fled with his loot, of ficers said. La Belle followed him and a bank teller pushed an auto- malin nlni-m Knltnn TtiA haiviit I lumped into a waiting car, driven I by Chalmers, and La Belle got in his car ana louowea. During the ensuing chase, the bandits fired two shots at La- Belle, both piercing his windshield. At the same time, Taylor po lice, alerted by the alarm, picked up the chase. Chalmers, in his panic, lost control of the car and it slammed into a utility pole. The two gunmen jumped out of their wrecked vehicle and com mandeered a passing car driven by Lanny Adams. Adams wife and small child wore passengers in the car. Respond to Alarm Det. Doyle Vaughn and his part ner, responding to the bank alarm sootted the two men as they jumped inlo the comandeered car. Vaughn said they louowea uie speeding car "and they spotted us just about the same time we spotted them." When they realized they were cornered, the bandits ordered Adams to pull into a driveway. He did and the men jumped from the car and fled into a wooded area. Opening set for McKemie on June 14th Opening of Uie McKenzie High way over Uie Cascades west of Sisters has been set for 3 p.m. on Thursday, June 14, Dean Swift. Oregon State Highway Depart ment engineer in charge of Uie Bend division, has announced. Work of removing snow from the mountain route was started in late May. Heavy, ice - stratified drifts were encountered in the big cut, at the east approach to the summit lava beds. Working westward, the main tenance crew operating out of Sisters met a west side crew on Uie Lane County side of the sum mit. The road bed will be permitted to dry before barriers at the east and west approaches are unlocked. The McKenzie will be the last major route in the state freed of snow this spring, with the excep tion of Uie Cascades Lakes High way west from Bend to Elk Lake and Uie north approach to Crater Lake.

This announcement was made today from Washington, D.C Senator Maurine B. Neuberger. Construction is expected to start within ten days. Completion is expected by March. 1963. The Beaverton firm submitted Uie low bid for Uie project when proposals were received at the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment station in Portland earlier this week. This was Uie second opening of bids. In Uie first opening, three bids were submitted. All were re jected as being too high. Low ba sic bid in Uie first opening was submiltcd by Uie DeGree Con struction Co., of Bend. The $183,235 offer by the Bea verton firm to build Uie research center in Bend was a comprehen sive bid and included, among oth er Items, furniture and fixtures. In Uie second call for bids, there were several changes In specifications, to bring the proj ect wiUun engineer s estimates. The now specifications excluded, among other items, die proposed greenhouse. Changes in floor plans were also made. Four bids were suomiuea in uie second invitation. The other three were higher than that of the Bea verton firm. Billie Sol Estes to face grand jury Wednesday FRANKLIN, Tex. (UPD-Bil'Je Sol Estes will have a chance next Wednesday to explain his cotton allotment manipulations to a grand jury trying to determine whether Henry Marshall. Uie first farm official to Investigate Estes, was murdorcd or committed sui cide. Clerk Morgan Harlan of Robert son County issued a subpoena for Estes Friday at Uie direcUon of Dist. Atty. Bryan Russ, who has been conducting Uie grand jury investigation. In Estes' last public appearance at a meeting of his creditors in El Paso, the farm tycoon Invoked Uie Fifth Admendmont seven times. Endorsement of Democrats is received SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (UPH Ted Kennedy is riding a steam roller towards Washington. The President's 30-year-old other scored a smashing poliU- victory early today when he won Uie endorsement of Uie Dem ocratic state committee as can didate for United States senator. President Kennedy telephoned his brother to congratulate him. But young Ted missed the call. Hu was en route to Municipal Auditorium to make his accept ance speech. Within an hour, however, Ted returned the call. He said Uie President "expressed good wishes and said some other words as ell." He did not elaborate. Elward McCormack Jr., his opponent and nephew of House Speaker John McCormack, saw handwriting on the tally sheets. McCormack Concedes Defeat At 12:26 a.m. when the roll call the 40 dclegaUons was just past the halfway mark he strode the convention platform and conceded defeat. That action automatically cava Kennedy Uie convention's en dorsement. But McCormack said he would hallenge Kennedy again in the fall Democratic primary. That is his right under Massachusetts law because actually this conven tion was only a popularity con test. But the way the Kennedy votes were rolling in Friday night and early today lew political experts gave McCormack much of a chance In Uie next rqund. Massachusetts normally Is a Democratic state and Kennedy Is given much better than an even chance to defeat the Republican senatorial nominee in the Novem ber election. Confident Of Victory Friday Kennedy made a brief prediction: "We are confident al victory. It won't be close." Shortly aftor Uie roll call of the delcgaUons started Friday night it was apparent that Uie young man knew what he was talking about. He seized Uie lead after Uie second delegation cast its vote and was never headed. He had 691 votes to his oppo nents 360 when MctormacK tossed in Uie towel. He had won 21 of the 24 delegations polled, tied in one and lost two. McCormack is 38 years old. the attorney general of Massa chusetts and a leader of what. until Friday night, had been con sidered a powerful political machine. His supporters shouted "We want McCormack. We want Mc Cormack," as he pushed his way to the convention microphone. He grinned and said: "With this enthusiasm how did I lose?" Withdraws From Consideration Then he added: "I officially re quest that my name be with drawn from Uiis convention and I will now take my case to Uie people." Then it was Kennedy's turn to address the convention: "I want to express my appre ciation for this endorsement for United States senator. The voice of Uie DemocraUc party is a great voice. It has been a fair voice. My opponent has said h will take his case to Uie people. That is his right. I want to thank you all and say that wo are start ing a campaign tonight that will bring us victory against the Re publicans in November." The fighting got rough In the late stages of this campaign. Mc Cormack charged that Kennedy's elder brothers had turned politi cal heat on the delegates and that Ted was indifferent to poli ties in Uie nine years he has been eligible to vote unless a Kennedy was running for office.

He recently rctijjned from Mexi co, where he was manager of large mining operations. "Opportunities in Space" was the topic of Matthews talk. He mentioned Uie billions being spent in Uie probe of space. He noted that North American Aviation re cently published a handbook, "The Geology of the Lunar Base," with an appendix cover ing prospective lunar base sites on Uie earth. The handbook noted: . .Two simulated lunar land ings and base construction phases are recommended: The first with a highway, railroad, power and water facilities; the second under extremely rugged conditions, with no access routes or power facili ties. 'The first area suggested Is near Bend, Oregon. A basaltic flow issuing from Lava Butte a few miles south of town is adja cent to the Deschutes River.

Also in Central Oregon, the handlionk reports, are other vol canic features considered ideal for lunar landing studies. lands, where no services or facil ities are available. The lunar project would call for earth tests in which spacecraft similar to those planned for land ing on Uie moon would first be tried out on earth. The Lava Butte area, if selected, would b for a landing, not for a blastoff. If earth landings are nol success ful, It Is no use trying one on the, moon, Mattlfows said.
