0 Roseburg Girl Is Arrested For Bomb Threats To School o Roseburg (U.R) Douglas county authorities said Saturday they were considering a psychi atric examination for a 17-year-old girl arrested for making at , least 15 bomb threats at Rose Taurg Senior High school. District Attorney Robert Stultz said the girl, daughter of a prom inent Roseburg family, was a senior in high school, an honor student and active in church work. She Jiad never been in trouble before but had no ex planation for her actions. Since Dec. 20, when the first bomb threat emptied the school of 1,300 students, there has been at least one bomb threat each ifAa either by telephone or by messages addressed to Principal y Harry Jacoby. Arrest of the girl shocked both police and school authori ties. State Police Officer Joe Haystead said it was one of the most fantastic cases he had ever "worked on. During a closely-guarded in vestigation, handwriting samples from every student in the school 'were analyzed and it was such an analysis that finally trapped the girl. The last phone call threatening to blow up the school came . Thursday morning. Haystead said the case had no connection with the recent theft of explosives by Roseburg- teen-agers or the series of ex plosions in Douglas county. Stultz ' said the investigation probably consumed more hours than in any other criminal case in recent Roseburg history. Patterson Won't Shirk Responsibility Coos Bay U.R) Gov. Paul L. Patterson departed from -the 5 text of a luncheon speech here Saturday and told Coos county Republicans he "would not shirk" his responsibilities to public office. Gov. Patterson did not refer to the United States Senate seat " of Sen. Wayne D. Morse (D. Ore.) which he has been urged to seek. But he told an audience of more than 100 that he and Mrs. Patterson had been long considering whether he should leave the governor's office in mid-term to meet other respon sibilities. .

WILSON United Presi Correspondent Washington (U.R) Suspici ous Democrats were looking for a nnjitical gimmick in .President E l senhower s new budget. It would be good news for tax payers if they found it. The gim mick would be an overly con servative esti mate of rev enue which Lyle C. Wilson might require substantial revision within a matter of months. If the gimmick is there, Mr. Eisenhower would be on the way to outsmarting the Democrats on a campaign year income tax reduction which could make votes for Republican candidates nationwide. The sharply edited Wall Street Journal put it this way: "The President will deliber ately hold down revenue esti mates. The reason: Tax strate gists fear sizeable surpluses in today's budget would set off tax Sentence Hungarians In Military Court Vienna (U.R) A Hungarian military court sentenced the United Press and Associated Press correspondents in Buda pest to prison on charges of spy ing and rebellion against" the state, radio Budapest has re ported. The broadcast said UP Corre spondent Illona Nyilas was given a three-year sentence and her husband, AP Correspondent Endre-Martin, a six-year term. Both are Hungarian citizens. Two members of the Ameri can embassy in Budapest were also found guilty and sentenced by the military tribunal of the garrison of Budapest, the radio report said. They were identified as Bela Kapotsy and Kernel Balazs. Kapotsy got life imprisonment and Balazs eight years, the broadcast s?id. The announcement said "other defendants" were also sentenced to prison terms but -did not iden tify them. Dead line for Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday HERE IT IS . . .

"So Ike will estimate the sur plus at a few hundred million dollars for this fiscal year and onlv sliehtly larger for fiscal 1957. Officials confide they may jack up revenue and surplus figures later in the spring." Controlled Tax Reduction Translated into presidential year politics, it means: The . Republican administra tion intends to control the cam paign year action of the Demo cratic Congress on tax reduction and to get the credit for Mr. Eisenhower if a cut is made. It wouldn't be fair to suggest that the budget figures are falsified. But they are very likely to change substantially before they are officially reviewed again snmetime rjrior to June 30. Budget estimates usually must be revised from time to time. Meantime, Mr. Eisenhower will keep thumping his annual message warning that a sound financial policy forbids the Dem ocratic congressional majorities from moving at once to trim taxes. Sometime before June it is quite possible that the Presi dent will discover happily that revenue is running ahead of esti mates, that the outlook for the next fiscal year is rosier' by. some billions of dollars. Campaign Year Credit Mr. Eisenhower, could then send a message to Congress an nouncing the good news and calling for tax relief. Some Dem ocrats are afraid of just that and that Mr. Eisenhower would get campaign year credit with thevoters for easing their tax load, Mr. Eisenhower's State of the Union message and today's de tailed budget statement are ac cepted here as the platform upon which he will seek a sec ond term if he runs. They would become the platform of any Republican presidential can didate in 1956. Peace on earth and good jobs to men is substantially what the President offers or, peace and prosperity, for short. These generalities are buttressed by swelling spending programs in the farm and human welfare areas which were the foundation of the New Deal Democratic political organization created by Franklin D. Roosevelt back there in 1933-34-35. Small wonder that some Dem ocrats are complaining. "Ike is stealing our stuff." HURRY! TREMENDOUS SAVINGS! Buy Now SAVE!
