Russian Opera Star Takes Spill on Sfage London (U.R) Ballerina Galina Ulanova, leading dancer with Russia's Bolshoi ballet, took a bad spill while dancing before a packed Royal Opera House audience here Friday night. She lost her balance and fell f,lat on her back during a per formance of "Giselle," but climb ed to her feet and finshed the dance Hearings Continue Info Activities of Ex-State Auditor Chicago (U.R) The Senate Banking committee's one man hearings heard Friday how im prisoned ex-State Auditor Or ville Hodge bought his way into a bank and then tried to use it to cash one of his now-famous phony checks. 1 Ex-director and president of the suburban Elmwood Park State bank, S. Edward Bloom, told how Hodge closed his bank for mis-management, then team ed up with former Illinois gover nor Dwight H. Green in reorgan izing it. When the bank reopened, Hodge had a 5300,000 interest. The bank's current president, John H. Russell, told the com mittee Hodge unsuccessfully tried to use this interest to get an $80,000 loan for one of his nu merous business fronts. Principal Causa The manipulations of the bank by Hodge have been listed as the principal causes for the hear ings. In the course of the hearings, an anoymous tip to Committee Chairman Sen. William Ful- bright (D-Ark) led to the arrest of the bank's head teller on em bezzlement charges. Chester Joseph Biegalski, 46, reportedly admitted taking $26, 600, "to play the part of a big shot." The thefts occurred over a three-year period. Investigators said they were not linked to .the Hodge case. Biegalski was released Friday on $5,000 bond. He is scheduled for hearings Monday. Russell backed up an earlier statement by Green that it was "standard practice for banks to make political contributions to both parties."

Chicago Former Gov. Dwight H.

ILLINOIS VALLEY Highway Contract Awarded By FRANK STRICKLAND Cave Junction A $273,525 road contract was awarded to Durbin Bros., Eugene, this week by the Oregon State Highway commission, to grade and pave 2.26 miles on Highway 199, south of Cave Junction. The pro ject covers the realignment of the Redwood highway in the vi cinity of the two Illinois River bridges now under construction. Southwestern Oregon's long dry summer passed into history Tuesday as the first beneficial rain of the season came without fuss or fanfare. People, gener ally, observed the occasion by remaining indoors. On the con trary a nearby flock of "dry land" ducks, including some who had never experienced the proverbial rain on their backs, stayed up all night "swimming" in a two-inch puddle. Yard plants, long since wilted in de spair, straightened up and blos somed overnight. Approximate ly one inch of water fell on the Illinois valley during the first 12 hours but was quickly ab sorbed by the dry earth and parched vegetation. Warm, cloudy weather and wood smoke curling from chimneys of isolat ed log cabins presented ideal conditions Wednesday for a typ ical Ozark squirrel hunt. When western Oregonians think rain is "wonderful" it is. Tom Owen, proprietor of the Model meat market, Cave Junc tion, who went deer hunting in eastern Oregon and didn't get any, wanted to know if the buck which feeds around our house is still down there.

O FREE DELIVERY ROLLS highway bridge under construc tion across the Illinois river, at Cave Junction, continues to make slow progress, despite some sort of "jinx" which has been hovering over the job al most since its beginning. In the early stages of construction, last year, the Christmas flood wash ed away several truckjoads of stacked form lumber and filled existing excavations with mud and debris. Less than a month later high water took another supply of new lumber down to the sea and damaged a newly made pier. Shortly after that a section of completed forms col lapsed, dropping two spans- to the ground, and spilling work men overboard, seriously injur ing one. Bent reinforcing steel was condemned and a new ship ment sent in. After standing un finished all summer awaiting completion of the East Fork span, contractors were ready Tuesday to begin pouring con crete for final completion of the ill-fated structure, when a pro longed rain set in and drove workmen into their cabins and trailer houses. "Voo Doo or no voo doo," workmen say, the old east fork will be bridged in time. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Malloy of Crescent City, Calif., were in Cave Junction Sunday , visiting Mr. and Mrs. Frank Strickland. Malloy, a retired Naval officer, is a television specialist, whose hobby is gold mining. Mr. and Mrs. M. K. Dietrich, Rockydale rd., are expecting their first child to arrive around Christmas. "M" is betting two-to-one it's a boy and taking on all comers. A one and three-fourth pound bunch of Flame Tokays are on display at Crtarlie's Market at Cave Junction. The grapes were grown by Jim Arnold, at nearby Selma, and brought to the store by R. H. Davis, who is making plans to put in a vineyard of these and Concords on his new lv.nurrhaspd ranrh on Rockv- dale rd. Davis came here from western Arkansas where farm ers make money growing grapes to be processed locally by Welch Grape Juice plants. A newcomer from Pakistan arrived in Cave Junction this week to make his (or her) home at Woody's Farm St Garden, a local feed and seed establish ment. The new arrival is a talk ing bird, a pet Mayna, (pronoun ced mi-na), sent from Oakland, Calif., by the Wooddy's daugh ter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ulah. The displac ed starling resembles an Amer ican mapie, sans taitieatners, with the exception of an over sized orange-colored beak. Since the strange bird speaks only Hindustani he (or she) hasn't said how he (or she) likes this country but apparently approv es of being bivouaced in a feed store. It is us. now. to the Wood- dys, and curious spectators, to teach the newcomer now iu sneak English as it is spoken in I this country during election I years. I Al Thayer, Rockydale mer chant, who's been shirtless al! summer, is hardly recognizable. Since rool weather set in Al has covered his sun-tanned phy sique with warm duds. The birds have come to "Cap estrano." After spending the summer in the mountains (or wherever birds go on vacation) they are back home hungry as bears. Arriving without notice, they found feeders empty, got insulted, and left again. The all-time high for voter if Builders Supply fejfWN QUALITY IWJ BLOCKS Bricks. Flues. Drain Tile 727 W. McAndrews Phone 2-4107 Kefauver Nursing Irritated Throat; Calls Off Trip Lincoln, Neb. (U.R) Sen. Estes Kefauver temporarily ab andoned the campaign trail on Saturday to nurse an irritated threat, but he planned to resume his energetic campaigning next week. The Democratic vice presi dential candidate announced on Friday night that he was can celling four scheduled appear ances in Kentucky yesterday. He planned to fly directly to Tennessee to visit his 84-year-old father and give his throat a rest.v - But Kefauver made public as a statement, a speech planned for Mayfield, Ky., attacking the administration's policies on the Tennessee Valley authority. He called it "laughable" that his opponent, Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon now poses as TVA's friend. Spent Willing Aides said the Tennesseean was reluctant to give up on the Kentucky tour. The spirit was willing, they said, but the throat was weak. A physician treated it and gave the senator a shot of penicillin at his hotel room Friday night. It was Kefauver's second penicillin shot of the day, a day which saw him campaigning strenuously in near-gale winds which swirled dry Nebraska dust into his face. He cancelled one appearance, unloaded one speech on former U. S. Attorney General J. Howard McGrath but finally heeded the advice of campaign aides to give his voice a complete rest. The physician who treated him here said, according to the senator's aides, that dust and extensive speaking were to blame for the senator's condi tion. In the drought-stricken Southwest last week and in the Grain Belt during the last hours, Kefauver has had his fill of both.
