V If you're visiting this resort vill age, on tiie shore of the lake of the same name, don't be sur prised by a band of horsemen dashing along the streets. This won't be part of a Wild West show. The Warren County Mounted Patrol is serious busi ness. The patrol is Sheriff Carl Mc Coy's answer to law-enforcement problems in the remote woods and mountains of his 876-square-mile county in the Adir ondack, lie organized the group last fall and, after a winter of service, it has emerged an esta blished arm of the law. The patrol now numbers near ly 40 volunteers, and they're no dude cowboys. Fully deputized, they are highly respected citiz ens who know well the rugged terrain and perils of their territory. Porter Bill Would Deny Tax Write-Off Washington, DC. Legisla tion designed to deny Idaho Power company a "fast tax write-off" in its Hells Canyon franchise was introduced by Congressman Charles O. Porter ID-Ore ) last week. The Oregon lawmaker's bill would "plug another tax loop hole" which "Is already going to erst the taxpayers $3 billion for IU Pst six years of existence," Porter said. . "It was not enough that the Administration should attempt to five away the bigeest remain ing undeveloped power resource in North Amrrica Hells Can non but insult to injury was added in stretching a wartime device intended to encourage enmpanies to build needed de fense facilities in a hurry to f.vor the Idaho Power com Piny." Rep. Porter recalled that Rus-sr-11 C. Rainwater, chief account ant of the Federal Power Com mission, testified that the U.S. Treasury could lose as much as -S83.95!.827-' by the fast tax write-off granted to the Idaho Power company. "This is probably a conserva tive and minimum guess at the loss." Porter commented. The Porter bill. "Emergency Facility Amortization Act of 1957." would change the present law to apply to applicants certi fied after January 1, 1957. I They already have provided ; consiberable discouragement to j burglars and vandals who in past years have enjoyed a "field day" ransacking hundreds of iso lated summer camps. Five Horses The youthful sheriff, a former harness race driver, is a superb horseman, and all who join must be the same. Mostly business and professional men, the group includes two bankers, a mill owner, resort, store and restaur ant proprietors and, appropriate ly, a veterinarian. There also is the chairman of the county's alcholic beverage control board, who donates the use of an arena he owns for the j weekly patrol drills. A state i game protector is the drill I master. I Each member must provide j his ow n mount, and all have I handsome and spirited animals, I such as McCoy's seven-year-old Palomino. Spitfire. One truck I dealer rides a highly bred Ara bian stallion. I For its official outfit, the pa trol chose gray-blue uniforms, complete with western - style pants, frontier shirts and western-type hats. They also ordered a flag with a light blue back ground, displaying the picture of a horse's head and the gold letters, "Warren County Sheriff's Mounted." The semi-military unit is pat terned after one in Los Angeles County, Calif. "That outfit has silver-mounted saddles and bridles," McCoy said. "Of course, we don't plan to go that far, but we'll look pretty fair on parade." Parades, skill, military bear ing and smart uniforms are not the prime objective of the pat rol, however. "We have sound reasons for this unit," McCoy said. "There have been many cases in which we could have performed valu able services, and when such instances arise in the future, we'll be ready for them." Each fall, hunters become lost in the heavily wooded area. Horses, he said, can cover the rugged country where cars and jeeps are useless. " Last year a plane went down and two men died," he added. 'We had to organize a party to walk 20 miles back into the woods to reach them." "In cases of manhunts, fires and serious illness, the patrol will be worth its weight in horses." the sherif fsaid. "In fact, we do just about anything except chase speeders." 35 69 379 39 fi7 .379 34 SO .343 37 73 .34 1 34 68 .333 Home Runs National League Aaron, Braves 18; Musial. Cards 14. Moon, Cards !3; Mays.

Roseburg 551 Plus Tax N. Y.r California Feud Over Bobsled Run Albany. N. Y. V New York and California appear to have entered into a friendly feud over which state has, or will have, the best bobsled run in North America. California claims that by 1960 it will have one that will top the lamed Mt. Van Hoevenberg bob run at Lake Placid in northern New York. "It will be the fastest in the world," the west coasters predicted. The remark drew a friendly 'pooh pooh" from New Yorkers. California's will have a concrete chute and the chute will have to use artificial ice. On the other hand. New York is a natural run, using natural ice and snow. And to top off the argument, the New York Conser vation Department pointed out that "the drivers are the ones who make the records." New York went a step further. It offered to lend some of its bobsled experts to California to help get the run underway.

(International Soundphoto) House Un-American Committee Disregards Ruling and Suicide Walter aid doctors, lawyers, schoolteachers, newspapermen and architects will be called. H did not disclose any namei but three lawyers admitted they had been subpoenaed. San Francisco, W The chairman of the House Un American Activies Subcommit tee disregarded both an adverse U.S. Supreme Court ruling and the suicide of a prospective wit ness and ordered hearings to proceed today on Communist in filtration of San Francisco's pro fessions. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D Pa.), chairman of the subcom mittee, called 50 persons to ap pear in the four days the hear ings will be conducted. 'Leaned Over Backward' Walter said the Supreme Court "leaned over backward" Monday in reversing a contempt of Congress citation of Illinois labor leader John T. Watkins. who had balked at telling House investigators about other per son's past Communist activities. The subcommittee chairman also expressed "disappointment" over the suicide of William K. Sherwood, a Stanford Univers ity research assistant who had been scheduled to testify. Walter, in ordering the hear ings to proceed, ignored a de mand by the American Civil Li berties Union that he call off the sessions because of Sher wood's suicide. Sherwood. 41, took a dose of poison in his Pacific Grove, Calif., laboratory, leaving a note which said he feared he would be "assassinated by publicity" at his scheduled appearance be fore the subcommittee. Loper to Speak at Society Meeting Aubrey Loper, president of the Medford Safety council, will speak at the June meeting of the Southern Oregon Optome tric Society tonight at the Rogue Valley Country club in Medford. Loper will explain the driver education program of the Safety Council and outline the type of participation they have re quested from the optometric group in conducting a pilot proj ect of driver-vision screening. The dinner meeting will also include a film. "The Case of the Misguided Killer." according to Dr. R. L. Stephen, of Grants Pass, president. Walter said he had been hope ful of obtaining helpful testi mony from Sherwood. Wants To Read Decision He refused to comment at length on the Supreme Court decision, saying he would not make a full statement until he had read the decision. "I am of the belief that the court leaned over backward,"' Walter said.
