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."
Adult Instruction
Class Set at Church
Adult instruction class in Bi
ble doctrine, Christian life and
worship, and the history of the
church will be held Monday, Oct.
15, at 8 p.m. at the St. Peter's
Lutheran church, 1020 East
Main st., Medford.
The class will be held in the

of the worship and prayer life
will be given. Participation in
the class docs not obligate those
attending to join the congrega
tion. The public is invited to
attend.

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.

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.

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.
