Knoblauch, president of Morehead State Teachers col lege, and Dr. Gloydon Robbins, director of professional division at the school.

(U.R) The Oregon Supreme Court today barred James L. Means, Portland, from the practice of law in Oregon for six months. The State Bar Asso ciation had recommended a one year suspension for Means who recently pleaded guilty of a fed eral charge of failing to file an income tax return. The court said the penalty was reduced because Means had pre served his records, had cooper ated with the investigation and had dealt honestly with his clients. The justices overturned con viction of Robert F. Goodwin of Salem for buying and receiving stolen property because they said an inadmissable confession was used in obtaining the conviction in Marion County Circuit Court.

IMPORTED 6 YEARS OLD rana turn nwarj mm. i mis u. k j ma. semn mum et, 1 1. 1 1 4 fflJLs o MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN remorse for the last two years. The long hop was arranged after visitors at Los Angeles County's Descanso Gardens noted that a pair of male bull frogs imported from France several years ago were croak ing love calls in vain. No American female frogs would have anything to do with them. Attendants at the lush gar dens then remembers that two years ago their mates died after being imported from France. Don Hoster, a local photographer, felt sorry for the frustrated frogs so he made a tape recording of their .Jove calls. The recording was sent to Southern France where the particular species of frogs hangs out. Sure enough, two females jumped at the chance and arrangements were made to . fly them on a Scandina vian Airliner over the polar route. It was the first time in history that a frog was flown over the Pole. So over the North Pole and into California the females leaped in the cause of love. Well at least tbey jumped at the right time since it's Leap Year. HOTEL BREAKFAST AND LUNCH 7 ajn. to 2 Buaa Hurry! Ends Tonite RAVAGING MAU-MAU! RAGING JUNGLE LOVE!
