Portland Hunter
Fatally Injured
By Mystery Shot
Three Others Die
During Week End
By UNITED PRESS
Oregon's hunting season
claimed four lives over the week
end, boosting to ten the number
of hunters killed so far this sea
son. 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.

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

tic senators meeting in caucus
in Portland's Congress hotel Sun

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

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.
