(Photo by Phil Scribner, employe) Meet with attornsy Tumalo area residents seeking action against Holgate Farm By Ha S. Grant Bullstln Staff Writer Some 40 persons, mostly resi dents oE the Tumalo community, met Wednesday evening ft a lo cal law office to express dissatis faction with the operation of Hol gate Boys' Farm. They were there, several in the group said, to see what can be done about remedying what they feel is a bad situation. The farm, a short distance out of Tumalo on Cline Falls Road, houses youths from MacLaren School for Boys, in a probationary period before being returned to their former homes or put on their own resources. It is operated by Mr. and Mrs. Norman Holgate. Alva C. Goodrich, who had been asked to preside at the meeting, said that he was doing so as a pri vate citizen and an attorney. "If I feel you people are right," he said, "I will do what I can to sup port you. If I feel you are wrong, I will tell you so." He will not charge a fee for his services, he said. After about two hours of dis cussion, the group agreed to meet again next Wednesday night. Goodrich said that he would ask supervisory personnel from Mac Laren to be present. He said he would ask for use of the circuit courtroom in the courthouse for the meeting. He asked those pres ent last night to write letters to him, stating their objections spec ifically. James L. Brown, Redmond school superintendent, summed up the objections as these: inade quate facilities at the farm; lack f nmfossional supervision and an adequate work program, and. over - concentration of MacLaren j bovs in a small area, causing problems for school administra tors and neighbors. A number of those present ex- pressed their belief that the boys "need a second chance," but said they felt there are too many in Tumalo for the community to ab sorb. (One man said that he counted 12 boys at the farm a day or two ago, and has heard that the number is to be increased to about 20 in the near future.) Concern was expijssed about the additional influx, and Good rich was asked to intercede with MacLaren officials to send no more boys there. It was also said that Mr. and Mrs. Loren Dear dorff, also Tumalo residents, plan Search pressed for Evers killer JACKSON, Miss. (UPD-Police pressed one of the most intensive investigations in Mississippi his tory today for the killer of Ne gro civil rights leader Medgar Evers. A price of more than $22, ooo was placed on the head of the sniper. Detectives worked around the clock on several leads including a "good" fingerprint from the ap parent murder weapon. Mourning Negroes who had been led by Evers in months ot integration demonstrations were caUed on Wednesday night to start a month of black armband mourning, fasting and abolition of all downtown shopping. Following the slaying, which President Kennedy called an act of barbarity." 160 Negroes were arrested during spontaneous marches in this tense capital city. There were sporadic incidents of violence, including the stoning of a police car Wednesday night in the Neero section. The vehicle was damaged but there were no injuries or arrests. Kennedy offers rights program WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy laid his urgent new civil rights program before con gressional leaders of both parties today but apparently won no im mediate consensus on his pro posals. One participant said the Presi dent's program, which is not ex pected to go to Congress before next week, will put weight behind school desegregation, equal public accommodations and easier vot ing requirements but not a fair employment practices proposal. "FEPC is definitely out," this member told a reporter. Key Republicans, whose sup port is vital if Congress is to ap prove the President's still-tentative new legislative proposals, planned a news conference later today to discuss tneir position. The White House meeting lasted an hour and 40 minutes and was another in a series of sessions the President has been holding 1 both with legislative leaders and top officials in business and otner fields. A Democratic source said no commitments were sought by the President and no consensus was reached. Trial date set in land case PORTLAND (UPI) Trial of spvpTi men chareed with mail fraud in connection with the Lake Valley subdivision in Eastern Ore gon today was set for Oct. 15 in U.S. District Court. All seven men entered pleas of innocent before Judge Gus J. Sol omon today. The judge granted the defendants 20 days in which to file motions in the case. The defendants, all out-of-state residents, are Abraham Koolish, David F. Koolish. John M. Phil lips. Jack Cecil Cherbo, Richard Dale Walker, George Edward Isaacs, and Maurice Arthur Hall. i to establish a similar operation, to house some 30 boys. Mrs. Deardorff told The Bulle tin in a telephone conversation to day that they have two MacLaren boys now, on an experimental ba sis, and possibly could house as many as five or six. They have no plans at present for a building program, she said. Asked if they could accommodate 30 boys, she said that would be out of the question. Several persons at the meeting said that they fear for the safety of their daughters. One man said his daughter had received an ob scene letter from one of the boys. Others complained of rough talk at the community swimming hole, and said they have restrained their children from going there. Several persons said that their cars had been stolen, and tnat some of these incidents had not been reported to law officers. Brown was critical of a series of articles about Holgate which ran in The Bulletin, charging that the publicity was designed as a cover-up. The reporter who wrote the se ries said that the articles were written on the basis of one visit to Holgate, and conversation with several Tumalo area residents, police officers, the MacLaren field representative and persons in Bend known to have had con tact with the Holgate operation. 'Dunes City1 incorporates DUNES CITY, Ore. (UPI) - Residents of this 1,800 acre tract around Woahink Lake near Flor ence have voted 143-74 to incorpo rate as a town and call it Dunes City. The area has 274 eligible voters. Next step will be certification of the vote by Lane County com missioners and election of five city councilmen. Supporters of incorporation con tended they were mainly interest ed in home rule, zoning and plan ning and a spokesman denied the move was aimed at blocking a national seasho 9 in the dunes area. A small part of the area is included in a bill by Sen. Maurine Neuhcrger, D-Ore., to establish a seashore. Dahl Pine plant burns Wednesday Special to Tha Bulletin REDMOND Fire about 8:30 Wednesday evening destroyed the Dahl Pine plant on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, with the loss estimated at $250,000. In surance was carried. The plant location is about 35 miles north of Madras. Timber purchased from the Mt. Hood Na tional Forest was being milled. Company officials said recon struction will start at once. Tha mill was owned by Phil Dahl, Sam Johnson and Harold Barclay, of Redmond and Sisters. This was the first major fire suffered by the mil! since it was built in 1949. The fire apparently broke out in the area of the boiler room, and possibly was electrically caused. Barclay was at the mill site this morning, and was to be joined at noon by an insurance adjuster. A high wind was whipping the area when the fire broke out. It spread rapidly. One fire truck from the Warm Springs Agency and two manned by forest crews responded. Escaping the fire were the burn er, the power house and part of the green chain. Medicare urged by President Boss of U.S. moon project quitting job WASHINGTON (UPI) The boss of America's $20 billion Apol lo project to land two men on the moon before 1970 is quitting his job. He told United Press Interna tional he believed the Apollo pro gram was firmly enough estab lished that it could be carried out on schedule, the country and Con gress willing. But D. Brainerd Holmes, 42, who on Nov. 1, 1961, became di rector of the Office of Manned Space Flight in the National Aero nautics and Space Administration (NASA), wants out of the project. The frustrations, poor pay, poli tics, and budgetary haggling which are a part of government serv ice have proved to be more than he can stomach. Will Help In Transition He will stick around as long as NASA needs him to help make the transition between the now liquidated Mercury program of one-man space flights and the forthcoming two-man Gemini project. In the meantime, for personal, financial, and family reasons," he will be looking for a job in pri vate industry that will pay him more than the $21,000-a-year he draws from NASA. Before he went to NASA he was drawing more than $50,0C0. Holmes denies it, but some his Mends tigure'he is leaving- tha government in a mood bordering on disgust. NASA said there had been an understanding when ho took on the manned flight job that his "obligation for government serv ice" would end in two years. Limit Unannounced That was news. NASA had said nothing about the two-year limit when Holmes went to work. However, in a private letter to NASA Administrator James E. Webb, Holmes had said he would take stock after a couple of years and see whether he wanted to stay on the Apollo job. Last year he openly disagreed with Webb when the NASA admin istrator decided not to ask Con gress for a $400 million supple mental appropriation Holmes felt was vital to the manned flight program. Girls' State officers named ssfKMwai0rowth expected Bend headquarters for PP & L division WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy said today that med ical care for the aged under Social Security is "very vital" and pre dicted that Congress will pass such legislation this year. The President made a strongly worded speech on behalf of the so-called Medicare bill before about 1,000 cheering members of of the National Council for Senior Citizens. They met here to press for the legislation. "I think this bill will pass," the Chief Executive told them. Asserting that no Western Euro pean country has failed to pro vide some form of medical care for older citizens, Kennedy said: "It's time the United States caught up. I don't think we ought to be second in anything." Then, thumping the lecturn for emphasis, he declared: "My prediction certainly is that if members of the House and Sen ate have a chance to vote on the bill it will pass in this 88th Congress." SALEM (UPI) Cynthia Joan Harless, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. R. L. Harless of Klamath Falls, was elected girls state gov ernor here today. Named secretary of stale of the mythical government was Robbie Jean Hamel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Hamel of Eugene. Patricia Longmore, daughter of Mrs. W. D. Longmore of Medtord, was selected state treasurer. Named attorney general was Kathy Simantcl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Simantol of Hills- boro and Patricia Kuhn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kuhn of Cottage Grove was elected state labor commissioner. EFFORTS DOUBLED SALEM (UPD-The State Pub lic Welfare Commission is dou bling its efforts to find new case workers, administrator Andrew F. Juras said today. The governor Wednesday signed the agency's budget, which in cludes provision for 128 new case work positions. Bend has been selected by the Pacific Power & Light Co. as headquarters for a new division for its system operations, with the division to embrace eastern and Central Oregon and adjacent sec tions of northern California serv ed by the company. This announcement was made here today at a regional meeting PP&L sales and management personnel. Most of the sales per sonnel at the meeting represented tho districts that will make up the new division. Company officials said growth and future prospects for more growth of the economy of areas of Oregon and northern California east of the Cascade Range prompted the move to establish the new operating division that will have its headquarters in Bend. Simultaneously, it was announc ed that Howard Arnett, Portland, veteran Oregon electric utility executive, will be the manager for the new Central Division of PP&L's system. Growing Statura The formation of this new operating division at this time rec ognizes the growing stature of the eastern and central Oregon area and its future prospects for con tinued progress' and develop ment Albert Bauer, vice presi dent and general managor of PP&L said. '"Bend Is a lofffcaf' center of operations for the new division, located as it is approximately midway between the district oper ations at The Dalles ana at Lane view and Klamath Falls and south into Tulelake, Dorris and Altur as, California," he added. The central division also will embrace the Pendleton and En terprise districts and the com pany s service areas between those eastern Oregon cities and the Cascade range. Bauer said the choice of Bend for the session indicates the con venience of Bend for the center of commercial operations serving the area. He said other firms might well follow Pacific Power's example by also establishing sales and operating headquarters in the city. He said PP&L's decision was based on studies of the long-range outlook for the continued construc tive growth of the east-Cascades area.

WORK OF ARSONIST GRESHAM (UPI) A costly fire which razed the McRobert Motor Co. here appears to have been the work of a burglar-arsonist, state police arson squad officers said today. Officers said the June 4 blaze bore similar aspects to fires which have struck five other Port land area auto agencies in the past several years. Loss in the local fire was estimated at $200,- 000 to $300,000. grim after session with leader LONDON (UPI) Prime Minis tor Harold Macmillan fought for his political life at a crisis meet ing of his cabinet for the second time in two days today and po litical observers said the next 24 hours might determine the fate of his government. Tho 69-year-old Conservative party leader made it clear to his ministers including three or four reported to be considering resigning that no matter what they did he would seek to lead his regime through the crisis caused by the Profumo sex scandal, Cabinet members filed grimly out of the meeting, most of them returning curt "no comments" to questions. Minister of Health Enoch Powell, reported in both national afternoon newspapers to be "on the brink" of resignation, hurried away, his face sot and unsmiling. Political observers said one ma jor resignation such as Powell' might make it impossible or Macmillan to hold together an administration already under firs not only from its opponents but I from "the establishment," a term I which covers the church, profes sional class and aristocracy from which it drew much of its strength. Gives Curt Reply Asked whether the government would remain together. Minister of Science Lord Hailsham snapped "You find out." , v. Minister of Housing Sir Keith Joseph, who earlier had denied that he planned to resign, said "Every minister is concerned by the moral issues," a comment echoed by Deputy Prime Minister R. A. Butler. Although the Labor party bag forced a parliamentary debate Monday on the security aspect of Uie Profumo case, it appeared many political figures and tha public at large were more con cerned with what the bishop of Southwark called "the smell of corruption in high places." Patrick Gordon Walker, who would become foreign secretary in a Labor government, returned from Moscow saying, "It is time to clean things up in Britain." He called for Macmillan's resignation. Stresses Security Aspect . Gordon Walker said, however. that Labor would concentrate in tho House of Commons Monday on whether there was a security risk in tho fact resigned War Min ister John Profumo shared the favors of party girl Christine Kecler with Capt. Eugene Ivanov, a suspected Russian intelligence agent. Outspoken Sir Cyril Osborne, a Conservative member o! parlia ment, said: "There are too many pimps and prostitutes in high places. I have said this before and I stick to my views." Kinni Zilliacus, a Labor mem ber, said: "I have heard more juicy de tails. I don't see how Macmillan can possibly survive, tuner ne knew all about this and covered it up or he didn't know and is unfit for the job." ix i ii iiiiiii'iiii mill iii iiiiiiii wiiiiiiuiiniiimii hiwim" i Government officials pleased mmtmimmwmmmmjmmmmmm Agreement reported near on steel DOW JONES AVERAGES By United Press International Dow Jones final stock averages: 30 industrials 72q 43. off 1.93: 20 railroads 170 23, up 0 64; 15 utili ties 139 32. off 0 52. and 65 stocks 256 95. off 0 44. Sales today were about 4.69 million shares compared with 5.21 million shares Wednesday. WASHINGTON (UPI) Gov ernment oficials were pleased today over reports that the na tion's biggest steel firms might be nearing agreement with the Unitid Steelworkers union on con tract changes. Usually well-informed sources said it appeared virtually certain that the revisions including an extended vacation plan would be presented for approval to the union's Executive Board and Wage Policy Committee next week. If so, this would allow the cur rent agreement due to expire Ju ly 1, 1964, to be modified without a formal re-opening that would raise the threat of a strike. Officials who deal with labor management relations said that an accord in the steel industry was doubly important this year. For one thing, they said, it would remove the possibility of a crippling shutdown of steel plants this year that could upset the economic advance. , And there is a good chance that a new agreement would ex-1 tend the contract for one or pos sibly two years. That would mean j a long strike-free period in the ; troubled steel industry running j through mid-1965 or I960. I But administration labor offi-1 cials regarded the method used , to reach a settlement as the most important factor in thei steel picture. Both sides bargained tnrougn a human relations commission that worked quietly for months on pro posals to revise the contract. They were able to operate without the I pressure of a contract deadline and away from the ballyhoo that i has marked steel negotiations for I the past 25 years. Government and private ex perts regard this type of "con tinuous consultation" as a new d: parture in bargaining that may provide an alternative to strikes and lockouts in many key indus tries. It is considered especially valu able fcr dealing with complicated issues arising in contract negotia tions concerning pensions, incen tive plans and seniority prob lems. A similar commission at Kai ser Steel Corp. included three public members all veteran ar bitrators and produced a pre cedent - setting agreement on plant-wide incentive payments. Auto industry negotiations have been scheduled to begin early in hopes of smoothing the way to a settlement before strike deadlines complicate the talks for both sides. Wounds fatal to Portlander PORTLAND (UPI) Policeman Henry H. Brown, 53, who was shot three times at his home Tuesday night, died late Wednesday at Portland Sanitarium. Ha was to have retired next year after 25 years service. The shooting climaxed a family quarrel, according to Multnomah County deputies. He suffered two gunshot wounds in the abdomen and one in the shoulder. Hi wife. Irene. 55. was arrest ed after the shooting and charged with assault with intent to kill. Brown was appointed to the po lice bureau in 1939. He had walk ed the tough skid road beat north of Burnside St most of the time. Wednesday evening, shortly be fore he died, two skid road rest dents who had been arrested a number of times by the policeman appeared ?t Central Precinct and volunteered to donate blood for the wounded officer.
