It was also the first ticker tape parade ever ac corded a British monarch. Shout 'Hi. Liz!' New York's informal shouts of "Hi, Liz" brought the Queen's broadest smile and the jauntiest wave she lias exhibited on her six-day visit to the United States. Fashion conscious New York women eyed her rust-colored ensemble trimmed with regal white mink and set off with flashing diamond jewelry. Handsome bareheaded "Prince Phil." whose car followed the Queen's, flashed a smile that thrilled the Wall Street's secre taries who had been given an extra-long lunch hour to attend the parade.

Ernest McKinley, 45. of Port land, was fatally injured when he was shot in the back while deer hunting about four miles north of Pringle Falls Sunday. The bullet, from a .306 rifle, entered his left shoulder and passed through his body. He died while two hunting companions were taking him to Lapine. A coroner's inquest was to be held this afternoon in Bend. State police said they did not know who shot McKinley. Body Discovered Two hunters discovered the body of Andrew M. Larson. 71, of Portland, a heart attack vic tim, slumped over near a road one mile north of Spofford in eastern Oregon. State police said Larson had been hunting pheas ants in the area when the seizure came. Donald Olsen, 17, of Reilh, was injured fatally by a rifle bullet as he and his sister. Carol. 11. returned from a pheasant hunting trip in Umatilla county. The gun. propped in the front seat of Olson's car. discharged after being jammed earlier in the day. The fourth victim. Charles Richter. 63, Wheeler, died of a heart attack near Ontario while on a hunting trip. Charge Angers Roseburg Ranchers Roseburg W A band of nearly 100 angry ranchers in the Roseburg area met here to day with Attorney Paul Geddes after one of their neighbors was ordered into federal court for shooting an American bald eagle. Louis Bell was ordered to ap pear in federal court in Klam ath Falls in connection with the shooting that occurred last March. Bell said that he had been watching his flock of sheep ; through binoculars when he saw an eagle attack a newborn lamb. He said he ran out with a gun and killed the bird. He did not discover until later that it was a bald eagle, protected by fed eral law as the disappearing species that is the model for American heraldry. Mrs. Bell commented today. "We didn't think it was against the law to protect our bread and butter." A spokesman for the ranchers said they would seek a change of venue for the court hearing set for the Bell case. He said ranchers in the Roseburg area had long been plagued by de predation of eagles among the sheep flocks.

Price 10c United Ptpkx Full Leased Wir 16 Pages Attempts To Stop ! School Integration Blocked by Court Virginia Appeal Against Order Barred Washington V The Su preme Court, today struck, an other blow at Southern attempts to block or delay school deseg regation. It refused to hear a Virginia appeal against federal court or ders to integrate the Norfolk and Newport News schools. This leaves in effect a ruling by the Fourth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeais which knock ed down the barriers to school integration, raised by Virginia's 1956 Pupil Placement Act. Other Laws Adopted Other southern states have adopted similar laws to nullify the Supreme Court's 1S54 ra cial desegregation edict. They were watching today's action tor an indication of how their laws will fare in court. Neither the Supreme Court nor the appeals court ruled di rectly on the constitutionality of the Virginia law. But both court's left standing an opinion by federal District Judge Wal ter E. Hoffman of Norfolk that the law is unconstitutional. The action left Hoffman free to order the school boards to admit Negro applicants to Nor folk and Newport News schools. A separate appeal is being carried through the courts against a similar desegregation ruling affecting Arlington, Va., schools. A lawyer for the National As sociation for ihe Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) said he interpreted the high with lower court rulings, as throwing out the Virginia law. On tiiis babis, he said, tiie NAACP probably will ask fed eral District Judge Albert V. Bryan in Alexandria to order immediate integration of Ar lington schools. Removes Authority The Virginia law removes au thority over placement of stu dents from local school boards and seeks to make the boards immune from integration suits. It vests assignment in the hands of a state board. If a white school admits Negroes, the gov ernor may close it, deny it state funds, and provide for ""private" education for its white students. Democratic Senators Discuss Stimulation Portland OP State Democra tic senators meeting in caucus in Portland's Congress hotel Sun day morning voted to use a por tion of a prospective surplus of S70 million in the state's general fund to promote new housing construction and stimulate the development of industry. The senators agreed to a pro posal by Sen. Monroe Sweet land of Milwaukie that calls for exploring "legislation for loans to promote immediate new hous ing construction," and legisla tion "setting aside funds to stim ulate industrial development." Vanguard Test Firing Delayed by Weather Cape Canaveral. Fla. 'V Test firing of the Vanguard mis sile, the rocket which will carry an American satellite space wards in the spring, was delayed today, apparently because of a brisk northeasterly wind which whipped the top-secret guided missile test center.

Colds, Flu Blamed for Corvallis Absenteeism Corvallis T Colds and flu are rausins absenteeism at Corvallis schools and Orcuon Stale college, authorities report ed today. But doctors said no case had been diagnosed as Asian flu. Motion To Reject Rank-and-Filers' Charges Denied Judge Erred, Attorney Says Washington nJ" Federal Judge F. Dickinson Letts today refused to set aside a temporary court order barring James R. Hoffa from taking over at once as president of the Teamsters Union. The judge also denied motions by union attorneys that would have thrown out of court the charges by 13 rank and file mem bers that Hoffa's election was rigged. Letts then proceeded to hear ' arguments on whether to turn his temporary restraining order j into a preliminary injunction ! and place affairs of the nation's i largest union under court super- vision. Violation Charged The 13 charges that more than 80 per cent of the delegates to the union's recent convention at Miami Beach. Fla.. were select ed Ln violation of the union's constitution. , Martin F. O'Donoghue, attor ney for the union, said that Letts erred in signing the temporary order last Monday without giv ing the Teamsters a chance to be heard. O'Donoehue. quoting from Rules of Federal Procedure and the Code of Ethics of the Ameri can Bar Association, said that such orders should not be issued without a hearing except in an emergency. There was no need for quick action in this matter, the lawyer argued. Letts last week issued an order temporarily restraining Hoffa from taking over as president. The judge acted on a request from the rank-and-filers New York teamsters' who claim Hoffa's election was fixed. Ordered To Show Causa Letts ordered the union to show cause today why the re straining order should not be converted into an injunction. Such an injunction would re main in force until a trial was held on the ran k-and-fi!e charges. No matter how Letts ruled, the decision was almost certain to be appealed and the entire case could be in the courts for some time. Letts has also told the union to explain why the court should not nullify the election of new j officers and all other proceed- ings at the convention. In addi i tion, it must also show cause why court officers should not be appointed to supervise major union spending and all but "routine" decisions. Euqene Woman Dies In Auto Accident Springfield, Ore. IP A .")2-year-old Eugene woman was killed Saturday afternoon when the car she was driving collided with an auto operated by R. W.

Outside Revenues L8rg It was possible for th eminhr to get by without a tax levy this year because of large rev enues from outside sources, Jan ouch pointed out. Largest single source of in come to the county is from the federal government, and most of this is from O & C and Ka tional Forest timber sale pro ceeds.
