the American , Scouts will
take over to carry the torch

2,000 miles. The first group
of American Scouts will take

at Scout pace - run 50 steps,

will pass it on to another.

bearers to carry yet sturdy
enough to burn - and burn
and burn.
All scouts involved will be

In order to let a maximum
number of youngsters take
part in the honor, individual
assignments of less than a

Sunday he still saw a possi
bility of success for the Ge
neva conference but he made
it clear the West and not
Russia must yield.
Gromyko, in a 15-page state
ment on the conference, main
tained the stand he took at
Geneva and gave no indica
tion the Russians planned any
concessions that would break
the deadlock over Berlin, Ger

'Lady Chatterley'
Film Ban Overruled
Washington - (UPD - The
Supreme Court today set
aside New York's ban on the
film "Lady Chatterley's
Lover." It said the state
"struck at the very heart of
constitutionally protected lib
erty." , "What New York has done
. . . is to prevent the exhibi
tion of a motion picture be
cause that picture advocates
an idea - that adultery under
certain circumstances may be
proper behavior," Justice
Potter Steward said for the
court. "Yet the First Amend
ment's, basic guarantee is of
freedom to advocate ideas."
The high court unanimous
ly reversed a decision of the
New York Court of Appeals
upholding the ban.
Attorney Protests
Bar Listing Names
Portland - (UPD - A Port
land attorney, Jack McLaugh
lin, has protested to priority
listing of names by the Mult
nomah County Bar Associa
tion. The protest followed
Gov. Mark Hatfield's appoint
ments of Arno Denecke and
Judge John T. Murchison to
the new Multnomah County
circuit judge posts created by
the 1959 Legislature.
Hatfield announced at the
time of the appointments that
the Bar Committee . had
placed Denecke first and'
Murchison second in priority.
McLaughlin added that he
had no quarrel with the selec
tions but merely the practice
of priority listing of names by
the association.
Woodcraft Neighbors
To Meet Thursday
Phoenix - Neighbors of
Woodcraft lodge of Phoenix,
will meet at the Grange hall
Thursday, July 2, at 8 p.m.
Serving committee is Mrs.
George Drake and Mrs. Del-
bert Anderson.
Recently the lodge held a
picnic at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Anderson for members
and families.
In cooperation with the
Centennial committee, the
lodge has placed a display of
antiques in the window at
the Daniel cafe in Phoenix.
The entire display was loaned
to the lodge by Joe Cowley
of Phoenix. The display will
be changed and a new one
put in the window shortly
after the first of July.
thunder storms. It's very dark
out. About 8 a jd. the rain
let up a bit and three planes
came down out of the clouds
and landed, then two took
off.
"They have to- work fast
when there is a break in the
clouds. The planes usually
circle around until they
reach the minimum of gas to
get to Taipeh and Manila. If
the weather isn't clear by
then, they have to land some
where else."
A second letter relates the
storm's progress:'
"As I said the storm broke
late at night June 11 (Thurs
day). It raged all Friday a.m
then cleared off. Late Friday
night it struck again.
"Again it raged all night
and Saturday 'til about 3
p.m. when it fell to drizzling.
We thought that was the end
of it. - This morning about
4 a.m. the wind howled,
lightning crashed and it start
ed again 'til about 9 a.m.'
Roads Covered
"Since then it's been driz
zling and we are waiting to
see what happens next! Sat
urday was the worst time
roads were two feet under
water; the water rushes off
the mountains so fast that
trickles were turned into tor
rents in a matter of seconds.
"Between 6 a.m. and 3
p.m., seven inches of rain
fell, ..almost three inches of
that in one hour! The reser
voirs are overflowing, land
slides have blocked roads and
a couple of tenement houses
have collapsed. Two people
were killed by lightning. It
really crackled last night.
"They say it is the worst
storm in ten years (not count
ing a real typhoon of course!)
Of course we are in no dan
ger, as we stay inside. . The
squatters living in shacks on
the hillsides are hit hardest.
"Friday evening they came
to get John for emergency
duty in the mountains. We
were in the movies so they
had to get someone else.
"The storm seems to keep
wavering over Hong Kong
like an undulating snake.
Just before it cuts lopse the
temperature drops suddenly
and the wind raises sharply.
It's quite weird, but it ought
to be over in another couple
of days."
On Monday, June 15, she
wrote: ;
Storm Continues
"I would never have be
lieved that the storm would
continue. This ' morning at
5:30 a.m. the cold blast of
wind came, followed by a
crash of thunder and a down
pour of rain. It's 8:30 now
and hasn't let up.
"At last count, the death
toll is 36, mostly' from old
water -soaked concrete and
stucco tenements collapsing.
Johnny set out for work, but
rumor has it that the road is
washed out, so the fellows on
night watch last Saturday are
still up there. :
"I'm glad I don't have far
to go to school. I suppose you
may read about the storm
here in the newspapers.
When you read such things
about Hong Kong, don't
worry, few Europeans ever
get hurt as they have snug
houses and sense enough to
stay home!
Houses Collapse
"Johnny came home about
8:30 a.m. It has been raining
steadily; from midnight to
noon 5J4 inches fell. I took
a taxi to Kai Tak this after
noon to see about the boxes.
Forded one river, but was
turned back by the second
and couldn't get through. All
police, fire and civil defense
are alerted and working over
time sandbagging streets and
pulling people out of collap
sed houses.
"Anyone living on a hill
side is in danger of land
slides. We are far enough
away from any danger areas.
I don't know what will hap
pen if it keeps up much
longer.
"Rainfall midnight last
night to 7 p.m.-10.6 inches!
June 16-"Blue sky peeps
through the clouds in a
couple of places after 29 xz
inches of rain since Thurs
day. The worst in ,43 years,
leaving 7,000 people homeless
and 50 dead.
