The blaze broke out Tuesday

Originating in wood fuel chips

flames burned through near

brush before being contained by
fire crews.
Chief Vern Carlon said Hiis

PORTLAND (UPD One youth

Police identified the dead man
as James Lewis Jr., 18.
Captured were Jacob Albert

Arthur Johnson, operator of the

Monday saw over 270 pupils in
the new structure that was built
to house about 240. The surplus
went to Allen and Reid-Thompson
schools.
Were some adjustments made
in the Bear Creek school zone?
Actually there weren't any. School
administrators noticed that there
were several groups of Bear
Creek pupils that lived together
and lying adjacent to zones be

Pupils in these groups were
moved to the other schools. This

more adjustments were being
made today. There are now 244
pupils at Bear Creek.
This year's problem at Bear
Creek is solved. Next year, how
ever, there probably will have to
be some changes made in the
Bear Creek zone boundaries.
Some minor adjustments have
been made in two other grade
schools to facilitate the pupil
populations. The school adminis
tration is taking one fifth grade
teacher at Kenwood School and
making her a sixth grade instruc
tor. At Allen School, one sixth
grade teacher will be utilized as
a teacher in the fifth.
Total elementary population in
the Bend schools as of Tuesday
night was 1939. Last year's peak
was 1839. The junior high school
has seen an increase. Last night's
total was 942. The peak enroll
ment at the junior high last year
was 916. The same thing happen
ed at the senior high. Enrollment
now stands at 909. Last year's
peaked at 813.
There are now 3790 in the Bend
public schools. Last year's high

Return of Negroes to classes
touches off new demonstration
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPD
Five Negro students returned
to classes today at t h ree
newly desegregated Birmingham
schools, triggering another rowdy
demonstration by white students
at West End High School.
It lasted Utile more than an
hour, however, and the jeering,
flag-waving students had broken
up into small groups and left the
area, boycotting their classes.
Attendance at West End, where
two Negro girls enrolled Tues
day, was down sharply.
All was calm at Ramsay High
and Graymont Elementary School
with .attendance down at both.
Students Leave Classes
Alwut 60 white students trooped
out of Ramsay shortly before the
classes started.
"I thought Ramsay had some
guts," a young blonde girl shout

of being white."
White groups of twos and

during the first hour of classes.

marooned in
. TAIPEI, Formosa .tURD More
than 100,000 persons were re
ported marooned in Taipei today
by rising floodwaters triggered
by Typhoon Gloria, considered the
worst in the island's history.
Authorities feared casualties
might run into the thousands.
The government ordered more
than 10,000 policemen and civil
defense workers wearing life'
jackets to take stranded citizens
aboard rubber rafts and landing
barges before high tide tonight.
Reports said several American
military families were forced to
leave their homes in low-lying
sections.
Reports said Shihmen Dam in
central Formosa spilled over
early this morning and caused
authorities to open all flood gates,
dumping more than 6.000 cubic
feet of water a second into the
area's already swollen rivers.
Heads Toward Mainland
Gloria, the most powerful ty
phoon in the Pacific so far this
year with center winds up to 140
m.p.h., passed within 55 miles of
Taipei and was reported bearing
toward the Chinese mainland. Of
ficials said it deluged Taipei with
21 inefces of rain in 36 hours.
By nightfall, the center winds
had decreased to 120 m.p.h., but
the typhoon was moving past the
island at the unusually slow speed
of 6 m.p.h., increasing its destruc
tive capability.
At least five persons were re
ported killed. Thc-y included a
mother and child buried in the
collapse of their house in sub
urban Taipei and three train
crewmen swept away by a river
after their engine was derailed
by the winds.
But police were too busy with
the threat to compile accurate
casualty figures and feared that
they might run into the thou
sands. Floods in August, 1959,
killed, injured or swept away
2,000 persons.
At Hsinchu, near Taipei, fierce
racks latrine when a Negro sol
dier, carrying a bed adapter a
9-inch cylinder used to make
bunks from cots told him, "I
came here to hit someone."
"I said he wasn't going to hit
me and I went back to the dormi
tory," Brown said, "The g'uy
was colored and I'm colored. He
was real drunk, staggering. It
was just one of those brawls."
Brown said the drunk struck
one man, left for his own bar
racks 100 yards away and re
turned moments later with more
soldiers. It was then that the real
brawl started.
"There wasn't much noise,"

Two small Negro boys who en
tered Graymont, where attend
ance was about one third of the
normal 300, were sent home be
cause they were wearing short
trousers, apparently forbidden by
school rules. They returned wear
ing long pants.
Thirteen Negroes quietly re
turned to classes with a dwindling
white student body at Tuskegee.
A strong move was underway in
the rural area 50 miles northeast
of Montgomery to set up private
classes for whites.
In Mobile, the third city to low

ISen. Dirksen
declares his
pact support
WASHINGTON (UPD Presi
dent Kennedy, in a special let
ter, today gave the Senate his
"unqualified and unequivocal as
surances" that U. S. security will
bo protected under the nuclear
tost ban treaty.
His assurances were given the
Senate by GOP Leader Everett
M. Dirksen in a prepared speech
in which he declared his support
of the pact and his willingness
as a Republican to "go the sec
ond mile" for peace.
The President emphasized that
he believed the Senate already
had received "fully adequate"
statements from top administra
tion officials assuring it of safe
guards for security under the
treaty. But he said he agreed
with Dirksen and Senate Demo
cratic Leader Mike Mansfield that
it is "desirable to dispel any
fears or concerns" among sena
tors on tile point.
It was Dirksen who suggested
that Kennedy send a letter to the
Senate to allay any fears or
doubts as debate on ratification
of the limited test ban pact be
gan this week.
Cites Protection Areas
The President cited eight areas
in which preparations would be
maintained to protect the United
States and the free world under
the treaty which would ban all
but underground testing.
Kennedy particularly assured
file Senate that if Cuba should be
used "either directly or Indirect
ly to circumvent action in re
sponse." This was aimed at the treaty
reservation of Sen. Barry Gold-
water, R-Ariz., who proposes that
its effectiveness be deferred un
til Russia's military base has
been removed from Cuba.
The other assurances given by
Kennedy covered underground nu
clear testing, readiness to resume
atmospheric tests, expansion of
detection facilities, freedom to use
nuclear weapons for defense of
the United States and its allies,
nonrecognition of East Germany,
maintenance of a "strong weap
ons laboratory, and continued
development of nuclear power for
peaceful purposes.
Kennedy concluded:
"It is not only safe but neces
sary, in the interest of this coun
try and the interest of mankind,
that this treaty should now be ap
proved, and the hope for peaca
which it offers firmly sustained,
by tho Senate of the United
States."
Dirksen recalled that in the past
he had voted for "more and more
billions" for defense and nuclear
development. He told the Senate
ho would now "like to do one lit:
tie tiling at least take one lit
tle step with some hope and some
faith to make a start toward a
new and larger hope that there
will not be another Hiroshima
and Nagasaki."
This stop could be It, he said
of tho treaty, "If not, we shall
always remain a strong nation.
but we must abide history s judg
ment if the step was in error.
Time alone will tell that story."
Shortly before Dirksen spoke
out, two Republicans and a Dem
ocrats joined tho ranks of sena
tors endorsing ratification of tho
pact as a needed step toward
peace.
Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, a
member of the foreign relations
committee, termed the pact a
"first step back" from nuclear
disaster.
GOP Sens. J. Glenn Beall. Md.,
a member of the armed services
committee, and Winston L.
Prouty, Vt., also urged approval
the treaty in brief Senate
speeches.
Beall said he would vote for
ratification because the pact
"does not sacrifice anything vital
to our security and does offer
some hope." He said he will cast
his vole with "more hope than
trust."
