Liberty. i"ew xor' v 0 Marsh Pleads Leniency Portland, Wi The attorney for Fred Marsh, Lebanon tim ber buyer, argued in federal court Thursday that Marsh's prison' sentence of one year should be reduced. Marsh pleaded guilty in May to Indian timber land frauds, along with Clyde Flinn, former Indian Bureau land officer, and John C. Blanford, Mil waukie. Marsh's attorney said there was a tacit agreement among the three that after they had pleaded innocent they would change their pleas to guilty at the same time. Then Flinn went into court and changed his plea before the others did. Marsh's attor ney pointed out that Flinn got a six-month sentence, the other two a sentence of a year each. The U. S. district attorney argued that any such tacit agreement should be ignored. Judge Claude McColloch took the matter under advisement. Melxer on Probation Jack Melzer, who entered a plea April 3 to a charge of larceny by embezzlement in the sum of $250, was placed on two years probation when he appeared before Circuit Judge George R. Duncan Thursday afternoon. Sentence was suspended upon the condition that Melzer make restitution. Pre-sentence inves tigation showed that Melzer had had no previous record of crime conviction.

(Biddy) Bishop, business manager for the Sa lem Senators when they en tered the Western Internation al baseball league In 1940. died from a heart attack in Portland Wednesday. Through a quirk of fate Bishop died the same day that the Senators were winning their first pennant the first half championship of the 1953 season. Bishop was 58 and his death was unexpected. He was em ployed as general sales man ager for a Portland motor agency. Survivors include the widow, Mary; a daughter, Mrs. Virginia Wallace of Dallas, Texas, and two sons, Billy and Norman K. W. J. Bishop of Salem is a brother. Billy, a magician, only recently enter tained a crowd at Waters field prior to a baseball game. Funeral service will be held at 4:15 Friday afternoon at the Colonial mortuary, 14th and NE Sandy, Portland. Born July 7. 1894, in Fort Lee, NJ., Bishop early in life became affiliated with the great American pastime. His Polio Victim Returns Home Woodburn Wayne Byers, Woodburn polio victim, was returned to his remodeled cot tage near Settlemier Park Wednesday from the Veterans' hospital in Portland. He made the trip in an Iron lung carried in a large moving van that moved steadily through traffic with a police escort to his doorstep. His wife, Opal, accompanied him. Byers was stricken October 19, 1952, and first was treated at Salem Memorial hospital, Later he was moved to the Vet erans' hospital in an iron lung. During his absence another son, Bobby, was born. There are two other children; Eddie, , and Bruce. 3. Byers is paralyzed from the neck down. He will occupy a rocking bed, operated electric ally, during the day and sleep in an Iron lung nights. The rocking bed enables him to breathe comfortably and helps to restore the muscles that con trol breathing. The apparatus is provided by the National Foun dation for Infantile Paralysis. While Byers was In the hos pital the Rotary club of Wood- burn started a project to build an additional room for his con venience upon his return home, The entire community took up the movement which was con cluded last week with numer ous contributions and built by volunteer labor. Hearing (Continued from Page 1) "We haven't been sitting on our hands," Dresslar declared. The witness said that the company had made "big inv provements" ir service, citing the increase In dial telephones from 167,000 in 1945 to 357,000 now about 90 per cent of all the telephones served by the company in Oregon. More Must Be Done "There are in fact, a lot of things that still need to be done for Oregon telephone system," Dresslar said, "and we'll do them as fast as our earnings justify the necessary construc tion money. We'll do the job Oregon needs if and when we can bring our operations more in line with today's inflation level." "What's tough, of course," he continued, "is that the tele phone business has been caught between the worst Inflation of all times and the greatest de mand for telephones in our his tory." Recess Seen The telephone company offi cials hope to complete presen tation of their case by Friday afternoon, to be followed by cross-examination after which the hearing will be adjourned to give a number of cities an opportunity of preparing their opposition to the rate increase. The city of Salem has not In tervened in the hearing, but City Attorney Chris Kowitz is sitting in on the hearing, as is City Attorney Alexander Brown of Portland. Since the end of World War II, the company has asked for rate increases totaling $12,933. 000 in Oregon, but has received Just half that amount. The company argues it needs higher rates in order to attract more capital for expansion. The company now is making a profit of about 5.3 per cent in the state The proposed In crease would give It a profit of 7.5 per cent. Walters Appointed Arthur Walters, Eugene, was appoint ed by Gov. Patterson Thurs day to the State Board of Cos metic Therapy Examiners. He succeeds Jean Brandt, Leban on, who resigned. 200TABinBOTTlONlY79Q first promotion was In Port land In 1907 when he sold the Robinson Clothing company of Portland on the idea of ad vertising their business by fur nishing baseball suits for a team with the name of the con cern on the shirts. From that time until his verance from tha Salem club in 1941, Bishop was a devoted follower of the game. In 1908 Calif. Brothers of Portland furnished equipment for Biddy s team that won the city championship from the Greenfield Blues, who were managed by George Grayson, father . of Bobby Grayson. Bishop's next venture came at McMinnville where he man aged the McMinnville Yelo bands and the McMinnville Tigers. Bishop joined the Northwest league in 1915, playing with Tacoma. The following year he played under Joa McGinty at Butte, Mont. It was Biddy who pitched for Bob Brown's Vancouver club of the North western league In 1922 win ning nine games and losing none. Biddy next donned his "mon key suit" for the Lewiston, Mont., club where for two years he pitched and held the role nf utility man. He left this club to enter the armed forces during World War I and went to France. At the conclusion of hos tilities Bishop returned to Salem and built the old Oxford ball park on South 12th street. He had a standing offer of $150 to any team that would beat his club at Oxford park. Few went home with the money. In 1925 Bishop joined Dan ville, 111., of the Three I league. From there he went to Fair bault, Minn., in the Southern Minnesota, loop where he won 21 gamea and lost 1. During a Fourth of July tournament. Bishop became known as "Rubber Arm Bid dy." He pitched 11 games in 14 days. On several occasions he worked double headers for Red" Rupert's "Baby Bea vers" at Vaughn Street, and succeeded in winning most -of them. When the Be 11 Ingham, Wash., franchise of the W. I. league became available Bish op induced the late George E. Waters to provide the fi nancing for the construction of a ball park on South 25th street. Bishop returned to business life in 1941 and until his death was actively engaged in selling various product. BIDDY PASSES A. who C. (Biddy) Bishop, brought professional baseball to Salem, died In Portland Wednesday. Assurance of (Continued from Page 1) South Korea's foreign minis ter, Pyun Yung Tai, declared his country haa no faith in poli tical conferences and will agree to take part in talks aimed at peaceful unification only if a time limit is imposed. Pyun said Rhee "does not reject" Eisenhower's pledge that the U. S. will work to uni fy North and South Korea in talks with the Communists. Wants Time Limit But, Pyun stressed, Rhee wants to limit the time these talks can drag on. Rhee often has called for a 90-day deadline with the war to resume if there is no solution. Pyun said in an interview "we would welcome" peaceful unification, but added, "From our past experience we know no such unification can be achieved. That is our convic tion." atAj'A', br I f Lass.
