tlfat changing to and from day

and does not give everybody a

"No Benefits"
A carpenters' resolution stat
ed that there is no reason for
changing the clock and that
there are no benefits since there
are only so many hours a person
can labor. George Poturek of
the carpenters' union and build
ing trades council reported that
building trades group and the
central labor council sentiment
was opposed to daylight time.
He said the labor groups repre
sented 3.000 American Federa
tion of Labor members, and in
cluding their families, 15,000
people.
Opposition from the Central
Point Granges was also reported.
The council, however, pointed
to petitions signed by 129 people
favoring daylight time, and to
pressure from airlines, radio
stations and businessmen as to
the need for uniformity with
other areas on the coast and with

Policemen Scour
Vancouver Region
For Missing Girl
Sex Attack Feared
By Police Officers
Vancouver, Wash.. Mar. 22
(U.R) Twenty-five policemen
aided by volunteers, searched
through deserted buildings and
shrubbery at the old Vancouver
barracks today for an 18-year-
old girl feared slain by two men
who kidnaped her from a city
street.
Police believe the girl, Joann
Dewey of Battleground, Wash
may have been raped and killed
by abductors who beat and then
dragged her into a car Sunday
night while she screamed lor
help.
Centered In Barracks Area
Search for the girl centered
in the Vancouver barracks area,
four miles north of Vancouver
Police also checked a barn fire
on a farm ten miles north of Van
couver. A gasoline can near the
barn indicated arson.
Miss Dewey was snatched
from a dimly-lighted street with
in sight of residents.
The men tossed the girl into
1941-modcl black coupe and
drove away before the witnesses
could call officers.
Other volunteers searched cis
terns and gutters for the girl s
body.
Mother rears Attack
The girl's mother, Mrs. N. C.
Dewey, said she was convinced
that her daughter had been at
tacked by sex licnds who abduct
ed the tirst girl to cross neir
paths. She doubted if there was
a ransome motive.
Miss Dewey, who worked as a
kitchen helper at Portland, Ore.,
sanitarium, was on her way to
spend the night with a girl
friend at the St. Joseph's hospi
tal here when the men attacked
her. The scene was two blocks
from the hospital.
Witnesses said they saw the
girl struggle with the men. They
said the men beat her on the
head. An apartment tenant, Dr.
C. N. Thackeray, yelled to the
men: "What's all the noise
about?"
One man shouted back, "Shut
up, it's my wife." The doctor said
the girl screamed: "No, I'm not,
I'm not!"
Despite the witnesses, the ab
duction was not reported to po
lice until Monday noon. Since
then, scores of "tips" from resi
dents kept police busy tracing
flimsy leads throughout this city
of 40,000 persons.
Rape Trial To Go To

School Districts
In Applegate To
Merge Alter Vote
Monday's consolidation elec
tion, considered vitally impor
tant to school patrons through
out the Applegate valley, has re
sulted in the merger of four for
merly separate school districts
into a single large district.
Voters in the Watklns, Forest
Creek and Uniontown districts
approved consolidation with the
Ruch-Slcrling district Ruch resi
dents' voted in favor of the mer
ger with all three districts. One
district, Little Applegate, turned
down consolidation with Ruch-
Sterling by a vote of five to eight.
Merger Delayed
Due to the adverse vote in
Little Applegate district, actual
consolidation of uniontown wnn
Ruch-Sterling must be held in
abeyance for 10 days to allow for
possible filing of remoastrance
petitions. It is understood that
new petitions for consolidation
will be circulated in Little Ap
plegate since it was believed the
issue was not fully understood by
patrons In that area. The district
has transported its pupils to Un
iontown for a number ot years
since its school building has been
declared sub-standard and not
eligible for state support monies.
Valuation High
Total valuation of the comBin
cd district, exclusive of Little
Applegate, will be $807,981.56.
There are 107 pupils.
Henry Kamman, principal of
the Ruch-Sterling school, says
the entire valley is indebted to
Fred West and "Red" Ranncy
for their work in leading the
campaign that finally resulted
in the consolidation. There has
been considerable concern In
educational circles In the county
for the fate of the schools In
volved since none of the school
hullriinas in the district meet
state requirements for standard
ization. Only through consonna
tion, it was felt could the dis
tricts hope to achieve the stan
dards set for them. They have
been adjudged conditionally
standard for some time to enable
them to correct their shortcom
ings. Approximately 38 per cent
of their operating budgets come
from state funds.

Jailed By Deputies
LaSalle was jailed bv Santa
Clara county sheriff's deputies
and formally charged with vio
lating the Mann act by transport
ing a woman across state lines
for immoral purposes. He was
arraigned before a U. S. commis
sioner. FBI agents said "in all proba
bility" he would be tried on the
Mann act charge before being
turned over to Camden, N. J.,
authorities for action on a grand
jury indictment charging him
with abducting Sally. New Jer
sey officials said they would take
"immediate steps" to extradite
him.
LaSalle, a thin-faced, grey
haired man who previously had
been convicted of five counts of
statutory rape involving young
girls, was sullen and morose in
his Santa Clara county jail cell.
He kept demanding to see a
lawyer.
Relations Admitted
Sally at first denied she had
improper relations with La Salic
but later admitted to a doctor
who examined her that she had
sex relations with him.
The girl hysterically claimed
LaSalle forced her to live with
him. LaSalle, FBI agents said,
was equally emphatic in claim
ing the girl went with him will
ingly and had stayed with him
for nearly two years of her own
free will. He denied having In
tercourse with the girl and
claimed she is his daughter.
Sally, however, told authori
ties today the reason she stayed
with ' him was that LaSalle
threatened to reveal her "im
moral acts" and warned her she
would be sent to a reform school
if she told anyone.
The girl told an FBI agent to
day that LaSalle first approached
her in a five-and-dime store In
Camden in June of 1948. Sally
said she was being initiated in a
small girls' group and that one
of the requirements was that
they "swipe something from the
store."
LaSalle saw her, she said,
drew heraside, and whispered
that he was a federal officer.
lie said 'Come with me, we
have a nlace for eirls like vnn '
the officer quoted her as saying.
Told of Vacation
LaSalle then told her he was
an FBI agent, that she must ac
company him or he would turn
her over to an institution. -
The girl then returned to her
home and told her widowed
mother she had been Invited to
spend part of the summer vaca
tion with two classmates at At

On June 14, 1948, her mother
kissed her goodbye and put her

Sally's classmates.
Then began a two-year odys
sev which took the couple to
Atlantic City. Dallas. Tex., and
finally San Jose. LaSalle worked
for several months In the vicin
ity of Dallas as an automobile
mechanic.
Sally posed as his daughter.
The FBI said-there was no In
dication LaSalle used force or
violence to compel the girl to
stay with him. The girl said the
compulsion which forced her to
stay with him was LaSalle's
threat to expose her to shame
and "put me in a reform school."

Demonstrations
In Rome Streets
Government Meets
Communist Challenge
Rome, Mar. 22. (U.R) Police
fired into the air today to drive
off a communist mob advancing
on the Italian foreign office dur
ing a 12-hour communist nation
wide general strike.
The demonstration, most ser
ious among a flurry of other in
cidents throughout the nation, oc
curred in downtown Rome at
noon. Riot squads drove jeeps
into the crowd and broke it up.
Police Used
The government met the 12
hour communist challenge to -its
authority by sending 144,000
armed police and carabinieri In
to the big cities to preserve
order. Quick-moving police broke
up attempted communists rallies
and there was no serious vio
lence. At noon police announced
1.000 persons had been arrested.
Most were released.
Powerful police forces on
guard in Rome used fire hasps ef
fectively to drive back crowds
attempting to stage demonstra
tions in the squares. Public ral
lies were banned for the day in
all big cities.
In Rome and elsewhere com
munist strikers stoned street cars
running in defiance of the strike,
overturned jeeps carrying police
and fought with their fists
against office workers and shop
clerks going to their jobs.
At Bologna, 30 demonstrators
and three policemen were in
jured slightly when police broke
up a parade. Guards were sent
to Bologna university when com
munists tried to persuade stu
dents to strike.
The general strike, threatened
for days, was called by the communist-led
General Federation
of Labor (CGIL) at 6 p.m. pro
testing a peasant-police clash in
a small village on the Adriatic
in which two men were killed.
The strike itself shut down
big industrial plants in the north
and cut off electricity and gas
for several hours In some cities.

Increasing Need
For Water Cited;
Vote Suggested
No Increases In Taxes '
Or Water Rates Seen
. Medford's board of water com
missioners last night proposed
that the city council ask resi
dents to approve a $2,800,000
bond issue for construction of a
new water line from Big Butte
springs. The commissioners sug
gested that the special election
be held on May 19 in conjunction
with the primary election.
Robert A. Duff, superintendent
of the water commission, read
the proposal to councilmen at
their regular meeting. No action
was taken by the council last
night, although comments of the
group were favorable to the
plan, A number of water com
mission and council conferences
are contemplated between now
and the next regular council
meeting on April 4.
Population Cited
Commissioners pointed to the
increasing population in Med
ford and vicinity in their mes
sage to the council, told of en
gineering studies initiated mora
than two years ago and said they
felt the city can best be served
by installation of an additional
line from the springs. They ex
pressed hope that the aqueduct
could be finished by the summer
of ,1951.
Computations indicate that no
tax levies or increase of exist
ing water rates will be necessary
to amortize the cost of the devel
opment over a 30-year period.
The project would include con
struction of an earth-fill dam on
Willow creek, a tributary of Big
Butte creek, to assure Eagle
Point Irrigation district its pro
rata share of the stream flow
from supplementary water. Both
Medford and the irrigation dist
rict possess water rights on Big
Butte. (
Supply Inadequate
Commissioners brought out
that the present water supply is
inadequate and that during last
summer it was necessary to re
strict use to conserve water.
They explained that in 1926 Med
ford water served an estimated
population of 9,622, and on Feb
ruary 28, 1950, an estimated
23,913, a yearly rate of Increase
of about 915 persons.
Although the present pipe will
serve Medford past its previous
ly calculated life expectancy of
40 years, commissioners stated
that more repairs will become
necessary and Interruption! to
service more frequent. It is vir
tually impossible to shut down
the pipe during summer months
for repairs, it was said.
Commissioner Seth M. Bullis
at the council meeting warned
of the danger of depending upon
one pipeline and expressed the
need for two as a safety factor.
The fire hazard in case of a pipe
line break or low water pressure
was mentioned.
Use As Standby
It is planned that old line will
be standby for peak summer
periods, when both old and new
lines can be used to keep city
water mains full and pressure up.
The new pipeline would care
for city and adjoining commit
tees for the next 50 years and
would have a life expectancy of
60 years. It would follow much
the same route of the present
pipeline but would be far enough
from It to prevent the same acct
dent befalling both. Length c
the present aqueduct Is 30.4
miles. The new one would be
30.5.
At last nights meeting
Councilman Dwight Houghton
brought out the need lo keep
pace with community growth
and Councilman Harold Frye
stated that the need Is so vital
he could not see why there
would be objections to It.
