REP. RUSSELL MACK Special Election Possible Wide-Open Race Seen Upon Death Of Russell Mack Olympia, Wash.-(DPD-A wide open race for Third District congressman developed today in the wake of the sudden death of Russell V. Mack. Mack, ' 68, a Republican, died Monday on the House floor. At least eight persons were mentioned as possible candi dates in a heretofore listless race that had attracted only one active challenger. Republicans Scurry Democrats sensed their best opportunity to win the Third District seat since the popular Mack began his reign in 1947. Republicans, caught with out -an active candidate, were sent scurrying for prospects in the event Democratic Gov. Albert D. Rosellini decides to call a special election to fill the unexpired term ending Jan. 3. Rep. Julia Butler Hansen (D-Cathlamet), one of the most powerful members of the State Legislature, said she was considering entering the race. John W. Riley, deputy state attorney general, is an unan nounced but active seeker of the Democratic nomination. Mayor May File State Sen. Harry Elway, Hoquiam mayor, had been expected to file against Mack not as a serious candidate but to get "experience" for 1962. Mack's death made Elway an almost certain Republican candidate. Also mentioned were two other Republican state sena tors, Dale Norquist of Cen tralia and Henry L. Schu macher, Vancouver. A special election would be a real incentive to legis lators, who still would be able to run for reelection in the congressional race. Mrs. Hansen said she felt that Governor Rosellini should call a special election. Trouble in Bunches Salem (CPD - Nine-year-old Delmar Alvie Gibbons of Sa lem has triple-trouble.

I - : . vi mm Bird's Beauty Marred By A 'Spoon' Bill Someone with a flare for the aesthetic, or a true lover of flowers when their colors are delicate, must have ob served carefully and finally came up with the name "fly ing orchid" to apply to a bird with a peculiar arrangement on the end of its bill. For the "flying orchid" in this instance is hot a flower, but a bird the roseate spoon bill. And the name fits, for the beautiful shadings of col or on this bird really do re semble the exotic orchid. Hardly any other bird in the entire world is more deli cately tinted with rainbow and sunset hues than this long legged wading bird. Nature endowed it with beauty, but its bill is grotesquely shaped. It resembles the wooden spoon so often seen in salad bowls, or the implement grandmother used in stirring applebutter. There are a goodly number of spoonbills still living in some parts of the Florida Ev erglades. Regardless of how many of these beautiful but odd birds one sees, one never quite gets used to that funny looking bill. No more ridiculous appa ratus could be dreamed up than this ludicrous "spoon" that this bird is stuck with. He has to make the best of it; otherwise the spoonbills would surely starve to death. Nature compensated a little, or at least relented for a fleet ing moment, by equipping this "spoon" with a system of deli cate nerves whereby the bird can sort out food from muddy High School Visitation At SOC Slated April 23 Ashland - High school visi tation day at Southern Ore gon college has been resched uled for Saturday, April 23.

Time Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins waters without looking to see what has been picked from the bottom. The birds take advantage of these sensitive feelers, for they swish the bill violently from side to side in the roiled water, about the same as a housewife would whip up cake batter with a perforated spoon. But if Nature pulled a fast one in bill equipment, she went to the other extreme in furnishing the bird with beautiful plumage. The col ors show vividly, whether the bird is at rest or in flight. 'Flying Circus' During hours of relaxation, usually just before sunset, flocks of spoonbills take off on a joyous "flying circus," ascending so high into the sky that from the ground they re semble dust particles in a ray of sunlight. Here they soar in great circles until the world below is nearly dark; then they come spiraling back to earth again. . Like many of the wading birds, the spoonbills nest in large colonies. The young are snow-white until they reach adulthood, a period of about three years. Then the rosy pink color begins to show and slowly spreads over the en tire body like the red blush of a sunset. Under rigid protection, the number of spoonbills seems to be increasing, and people in telligent enough to appreciate and understand that "a thing of beauty is a joy forever" are hopeful that the roseate spoonbill can be saved from total extinction.

Dozens of flaming crosses were seen along highways in the Anniston, Ala., area Saturday night, and a fire bomb was thrown into the yard of a Negro home. Witnesses reported seeing a white man throw the home made bomb into the yard, but no damage resulted because the bomb failed to ignite. Klansmen Hold Rally Police said they received at least 100 complaints about the cross burnings in Alabama. Twelve men were picked up by police in connection with the incidents. Five were charged with obstructing a highway and later released, along with the others. The cross-burning coincid ed with a huge Ku Klux Klan meeting in Monroeville, Ala Hundreds of klansmen, many of them robed and hooded, held a rally at the regional Coliseum. Then they formed a motorcade to a home where a 20-foot cross was burned and new members were in itiated. Sildowns Continue Approximately 50 crosses were burned in a six-county area of South Carolina Satur day night, with as many as 40 reported burning at one time. The cross-burning capped a full day of sitdown protests at Hampton, Newport News and Richmond in Virginia and the picketing of stores by Negroes in Savannah and Atlanta. , investment Funds Noon quotations on selected funds: Fund Bullock ..

Davis filed a new court action Monday in an at tempt to free Caryl Chessman from his May 2 death sen tence and immediately found himself embroiled in a squab ble with two other of the convict-author's lawyers. A. L. Wirin of Los Angeles and Rosalie Asher of Sacre mento, Calif., blasted Davis for filing the petition in San Rafael, Calif., without first consulting them. Wirin and Davis made up shortly after Davis flew into Los Angeles to hold a press conference about the latest maneuver to allow Chessman to escape the death sentence he has faced for 12 years. Asher May Quit But Miss Asher, who has represented Chessman smce his San Quentin imprisonment in 1948, threatened to break off her association with Davis and Chessman. "I can no longer work un der these handicaps by Da vis," Miss Asher said from Sacramento in a telephone in terview with Los Angeles newsmen Lew Irwin. "There is a 75 per cent probability that I will no longer work as Chessman's counsel." Miss Asher complained that she had not been consulted about Monday's action by Da vis nor had he informed her of the adding of three at torneys to his defense team. They ,were Barbara Warner, Los Angeles; Paul Posner, Los Angeles, and G. H. Van Har vey, an associate of Davis. Davis Says No Trouble Davis said after a brief con ference with Wirin that their squabble was a "tempest in a teapot," just a misunderstand ing. The two attorneys agreed for the "sake of our client" to mend their differences. "We've just been too busy to tell anyone about it (the new petition)," Davis said. Hearing Scheduled Davis, who has been associ ated with the Chessman case for about the past seven years, said the petition will be ar gued Wednesday in San Ra fael before Superior Judge Jordan Martinelli. The judge then will either dismiss the petition or order a full-fledged hearing with Chessman pres ent. The petition raises for the first time the argument that Chessman was sentenced to death 12 years ago for a crime which actually carries a maxi mum sentence of life imprison ment, Davis said. The peti tion argues that two counts on which Chessman was sentenc Progress Reported In Actors' Strike Hollywood-DPD-Special ne gotiating teams of the Screen Actors Guild and the seven major motion picture studios meet again today following reports of definite progress toward settlement of the 22 day actors' strike.

Read about them in Family Weekly, April 3rd. IS ..iniir i -i "" Don't Mss tht April 3rd JRetznilxr With m ed were simple kidnaping and robbery, which carry life im prisonment as maximum sen tences. The counts of kidnap ing and robbery with intent to do harm carry the death sen tences, Davis said. J. Miller Leavy, the deputy district attorney who prose cuted Chessman on 17 counts of robery, rape and kidnap ing, said the petition did not raise a single new issue. He claimed the state Supreme Court already had ruled on the issue in favor of uphold ing the death sentence. Securities Found Amidst Poverty San Mateo, Calif.-tUPD-Cash and securities worth $129,000 have been found in the home of two apparently poverty' stricken women who had been placed in a sanitarium be. cause they could not care for themselves. Neighbors said Miss Han nah Cannon, 88, who cannot walk, would send her sister, Mrs. Gladys Smit.h 68, to the grocery store each day to check on prices. -When Mrs. Smith returned, they would make out a list, and Mrs. Smith would go back for the food, according to neighbors. The cash and securities were found laying carelessly on a bed, stuffed in a mattress and shopping bags and scat tered about the house. It was discovered by off duty policemen hired by Ray Duba, attorney for the sisters, to clean up the place during the women's absence. Duba said the sisters are heirs to a small fortune through connections with the family of John F. Fugazi, a rich San Francisco banker during the last century. Duba, praising the honesty of his clean-up men said they deserved rewards. But that would not be pos sible, he said, because the money is part of an estate put under a conservatorship by a Superior court.
