SQUATTERS ON FOREST LAP FOR m Portland. Ore.. Nov. 21 (flV-Em ory Davis and E. H. Best, squatters In the Umpqua national forest to day told Federal Judge McNary that they had tried to move from their holdings within the 60 days allowed them by the court. Their stories were contradicted by As sistant United States Attorney Llttleftcld. The Judge postponed the hearing until Wednesday when witnesses will be brought from Roseburg to testify for both sides. Davis and Best, both ex-service men, both disabled and receiving pensions from the government wanted a place for their families to live and lr.de small clearings in the Umpqua forest.
