Newspaper Page TextMAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 10 TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1959 Search for Negro Abuctors Spreads To Louisiana Poplarville, Miss. -JUPD FBI agents, working with state and local officers, fanned out into nearby Louisiana and surrounding Mississippi coun ties today in the search for a lynch party and its Negro vic tim. The two-state search for the young Negro, an accused rap ist, and the masked mob that abducted him early Saturday was begun Monday. It was widened today after a meet ing Monday night of more than 30 of the 40 FBI agents working on the case in this south Mississippi town. Most Leads Exhausted The meeting followed an hour-long telephone report, apparently t o Washington headquarters, by R. W. Bach man, New Orleans FBI chief.. The widening of the search for Mack Charles Parker, 23, a truck driver, and his kid napers began after authori ties exhausted most leads' in Pearl River county. Some of the agents returned today to a neighboring Louis iana parish for the second day to step up questioning of per sons in the Bogalusa, La., area. Bogalusa, the former home town of the white pregnant woman Parker was accused of rcping, is 21 miles west of here, just across the Missis sippi river. Residents Questioned However, questioning of scores of residents here, in the Hattiesburg area where the woman now lives and in neighboring Lamar county was continuing. Parker lived in the Lamar county town of Lumberton. Parker was beaten savagely with pistols and clubs and dragged head first down three flights of stairs from the third-floor jail. He was dump ed into a waiting car by the masked and hooded men. The abductors carried a short coil of rope. Women's Salem Activities Described by Mrs. Nye Oregon Crash Kills Idaho Man Caldwell, Idaho - (UPD - A Boise' man is dead and anoth er is listed in fair condition at Caldwell Memorial hospital today after a one-car accident near Rome, Ore. Wayne D. Abbott, 36, died enroute to the hospital here. The injured man was Merlin Peck, 27, who underwent sur gery at the hospital last night. Oregon State police said the car was owned by Abbott but was being driven by Peck, en route from Boise to Reno. The accident occurred on a slight curve along U. S. 95 eight miles west of Rome. Officers said Peck apparently lost con trol and the car plunged over an eight-foot embankment on to rocks. Both men were thrown from the car. Ether was first used in a major operation in Boston in 1846. 1 By MRS. EVE NYE State Representative From Jackson County Salem-Ever since the first of the session I've been want ing to write about the things that go on in connection with a legislator's life that women are particularly interested in -not that they aren't interest ed in legislation, I hasten to add, because some of my mpst thoughtful letters regarding legislation come from my women constituents-but there are many activities aside from lawmaking which enliven and enrich the life of one who takes on this job. Many of these extra cur ricular activities I have to forego because they are usual ly planned- by and for the wives and secretaries whose lives are not completely gear ed to a gavel. However, I manage to take' in a few, and of course thoroughly enjoy them when I can. Now that the steam is really on and we're having all day and sometimes evening sessions, it takes some - maneuvering to work in anything outside the Capitol Building. Take yesterday-the women legislators and wives of legis lators were invited to a "cof fee" at the home of Mrs. Rob ert Elfstrom at 10:30 a.m. in honor of Mrs. Mark Hatfield. Some of the gals had taken up a collection and purchased a beautiful antique chest for the Hatfield home, which is undergoing remodelling, oppo site Bush Park. To accommodate those of us who couldn't socialize at 10:30 (the House convenes at 10:00), the hostess agreed to have the coffee hot at 9:30, but that had to be the morning when I had an 8 o'clock committee meeting, and a 9 o'clock Re publican caucus. Misses Party Shirley Field, the only oth er Republican woman in the College Books Said Worth $4 Million Portland 0JPD The State Board of Higher Education was told Monday that state- owned colleges have more than $4 million dollars worth of books. State Librarian William Carlson said the University of Oregon library at Eugene with 600,000 volumes valued at $1,- 700,000 is the largest. Oregon State has 356,000 volumes val ued at $1,549,000. Carlson ex plained the books at Oregon State were more technical and scientific in nature and thus were more costly per volume. Oregon PTA Congress Convention Opens Corvallis - (UPD The annual convention of the Oregon Con gress of Parents , and Teachers opened here today with up to 1200 delegates expected from the 710 locals throughout the state. The PTA's board of man agers voted Monday night to recommend Medford for the 1960 convention. Because of uniform drain age Kansas has no natural lakes. legislature, and I, thinking that the party might still be on, dashed out at noon, only to find the hostess in a sun suit out on the patio and the guests gone. Mrs. Elfstrom obligingly reheated the coffee and the coffee cake, and we gratefully accepted it as our lunch, and sped back for an afternoon session. One of the Salem Represen tatives and his wife had in vited all freshman legislators for a little get-together be tween 6 and 8 that evening, so I dashed home at 6, chang ed my dress, got to the party at 6:30 and left at 7 to get back to a hearing before the House Education committee. That' lasted until after 10, and all I had to do after that was to read the day's papers and look over the 37 bills which were on our calendar for final passage the next day. You've guessed it. Thirty seven bills took all day and a two-and-a-half hour evening session. I have this to say for the House of Representatives. It is really a deliberative body -more so, from what I hear, than the Senate. A bulging calendar doesn't stop anybody from touching off a floor fight, making a call of the House, sending bills back to commit tee for further examination, trying out all the parliamen tary maneuvers in the book, etc., etc. It is interesting, edu cational and above all, democ racy in action. Do I have to add that it is also a bit strenu ous? r Today for the first time, we didn't finish our calendar. We finally adjourned for the day at 5:45, after which the Education Committee met briefly, I. got home at 6:45 and went back at 8 to listen to the Tax Committee wrestle with the tax program which they have called back to com mittee after being on the calendar for a vote this morn ing. Tea Service Given This was the morning that was selected to make the tra ditional presentation of a ster ling tea service to the wife of the Speaker. When Represen tative Skelton arose on a point of personal privilege, Speaker Bob looked pained but said, "State your point." Representative Skelton asked that the Speaker appoint a committee to find Mrs. Dun can and bring her to the Speaker's stand. The Speaker remarked that he didn't know what was going on but he did know that, we had thirty five bills on the calendar, etc., etc. Of course, Marijane was brought in, presented with the gift, which was gorgeous, and made a charming acknowledg ment. Bob got a tie clasp and cuff links in sterling with the Capitol dome embossed on them. After that we settled down to our bill books. The. word now is that we might get home in another week. Somehow I suspect it will be longer-it's hard to be lieve that a tax program which hadn't, as of -30 minutes ago when I left the hearing, been agreed upon by the House Taxation Committee, can go through both Houses in one week, but I'll be happy if the forecasters are right.
