Public Hearing Demanded for Slafe Policeman Milwaukie -4C?t- Rep. Rich ard Groener, Milwaukie Dem ocrat, today oemanded an open and public hearing for Pvt. Robert Wampler, an Ore gon state police officer or dered before a police depart ment disciplinary board. It was Groener who first accused H. G. Maison, super intendent of state police, of setting up a quota of citations that each officer must issue. Maison denied that the Groener issue was broached when he summoned the offi cer before him earlier this week and he said he had not yet prepared charges against the officer. Wampler denied that he had anything to do with the information on which Groener based his charges but said he agreed with much that the legislator said. Violation of Rules Wampler said Maison told Missionary to Speak In Jacksonville Church Robert Remmington, a mis sionary in India now home on furlough, will be guest speaker in the Old Historical church, across from the mu seum in Jacksonville at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2. He has been working un der the service of Evangeli cal Alliance Mission in India during the past seven years. He is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Remmington. Medford, while in this area. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, October 1, 1958 7 him he would be called before a disciplinary board and that he had been "talking openly and covertly with others" in stead of going to a superior officer. Maison told newsmen only that any charges against the Milwaukie officer would arise out of violation of de partment rules and regula tions. Wampler said he did not say a word when sum moned before Maison in Salem. Groener charged today that the Oregon motoring public was suffering from a rash of "unjust citations" and that even the issuing officers were ashamed to write them.

He likes adventure stories and anything pertain ing to the south seas has a personal interest to him. He lived for some time before WWII in Tahiti and would like to go back there. Appreciation of good writ ing developed in an interest ing way. In Tahiti he became acquainted with James Nor man Hall, coauthor of "Mu tiny on the Bounty," who did much of his writing in later years at this home there. "He was a quiet and unas suming chap and you couldn't help liking him," Frank says. "He rode a bicycle around the island as most everyone does there, and he was never con spicuous socially. It seemed, he was always busy writing at his home, where he lived with his French wife. "I was on the ship with them going over, and while he could afford to travel first class and dine with the cap tain, he chose second class as more desirable." Frank also visited with the Halls in Ta hiti. Hall in later years made his home in Sausalito, across the bay from San Francisco. He and Nordoff, his collaborator, were in the Lafayette esca drille and went to Tahiti to gether after World War I. Wickam says he found Hall more English than American, nothwithstanding the fact that he was born in Iowa. Hall ac quired his English manner as a British Tommy under Kitch ener before joining the For eign Legion. Army Deserter To Go Free; Plans To Live in France Verdun, France -(UPD- U.S. Army Pvt. Wayne Powers, who hid for 14 years with his French girl friend and be came the father of five chil dren, will become a free man next week, the Army announ ced today. Powers, 37, from Chilli cothe, Mo., was sentenced to 10 years at hard labor by a Verdun court martial last Aug. 1. The sentence was la ter reduced to six months. But today Brig. Gen. Rob ert J. Fleming, commander of the U. S. base at Verdun, announced that Powers would be turned free next Tuesday and be given a dis honorable discharge. To Receive Passport Thursday he will go to the American consulate in Stras bourg to receive an American passport, which will permit him to live in France with his sweetheart, Yvette Bleuse and their children. Powers intends to marry Yvette and settle down in France. He was still in the Verdun stockade today and will' be until he is dishonorably dis charged on Oct. 9. Powers pleaded guilty to the charge of desertion be fore a general counts martial here last summer. He was sentenced to 10 years, dishon orable discharge and forfeit ure cf all pay and allow ances. But his lawyers had enter ed a "negotiated plea" of guil ty, and four days later Flem ing reduced the sentence to six months at hard labor. Clatsop Sheriff To Serve 4 Years Salem - (UPD - Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton said in an opinion today that the candidate elected sheriff of Clatsop county will serve a full four years. The elected sheriff will take the place of Paul Kearney who was named U..S. marshal for Oregon. Since the vacancy occurred less than 70 days prior to the November elec tion candidates are nominated by the central committees of the major political parties. Dominican Sister Loses Her Halo Memphis, Tenn.-OiPD-Sister Fides lost her halo when she donned a "shocking pink" habit. But her new look was an instant hit with Dominican Sisters at Siena College. The halo showed up on monitors at the city's educa tional television station while Sister Fides was Tehearsing for a televised algebra course. It was caused by lights re flecting from her black habit. Sister Fides dyed her habit pink and draped her head with a white veil. The halo disappeared. The Salvation Army coffee hour was resumed Sunday af ternoon with Lt. Col. J. Erick son, of Portland, as special speaker. Coffee and donuts were served. Bill Black, who has con ducted this column during the past summer, has moved to Ashland where he is regis tered as a student at Southern ' Oregon college. His friends gave him a fare well party Friday afternoon, arranged by the Readers and Writers club, sponsored by Enid Holmes, librarian. Before leaving, Black received a let ter from Rinehart, book pub lishers, that his novel manu script is beine considered for publication. He has some work to do on this, he says, before submitting the final chapters for review. John W. Sinders, personnel officer, who is coordinator for selective placement of the physically handicapped, and a member of the Jackson county committee, announces that during the "Hire the Handi capped Week" the domiciliary will receive visitors for guid ed tours on Wednesdav and Thursday, Oct. 8 and 9. Dr. A. S. Anderson, chief medical officer, who has taken over the duties of chief of physical medicine and rehabil itation at the domiciliary, is now a member of the commit tee for employment of the physically handicapped, and is showing active interest in the program. Dr. Anderson has specialized in this field of med icine both m and out of the Veterans Administration. Several of the members find it difficult to pronounce Cae sar Muzzioli's name. The band of musicians is always populer either on their regular program each month or- for special entertainment and ceremonies. The Red Cross presented them in a va riety show last month. On this occasion, Muzzioli introduced a protege who first studied with him in Boston. The family moved to Cali fornia -and the pupil commut ed to Medford to continue his accordion lessons. He found this somewhat' inconvenient and so he has moved bag and baggage to Medford. Domiciliary members have a reminder in the theater of the support they gave the Dairy Maids last summer when they were contending for the state Softball cham pionship. It is a portable TV set presented recently by the Eagle Point Lions club. LeRoy Regester, president, wrote the members: "The Eagle Point Lions club would like to show their apprecia tion in a material way by pre senting a portable TV set and an autographed picture of the Dairy Maids, 1958 state champions." The Oak Knoll golfers who contested against the pick of Camp White pitch and putt players Sunday afternoon found the greens harder to ap proach than appears on the surface. They tied the local golfers, who also find the lit tle course bewildering at times. There are no other hazards than the roll and location of the greens. A return engage ment is planned for the veter ans at the Oak Knoll country club course in the near future. The auxiliary of the Veter ans of World War I have adopted the "leap year" idea for their scheduled Monday evening dance, which will be held the fifth Monday of the month. They sponsored the dance Monday evening. Their next dance on the fifth Mon day will be Dec. 29. "'" ' ' 'V''!1 't ' ' - '' '' UKE LOTS OF HOT WATER?
