(UPI Telephoto) About Candidates (Editor's note: One mem ber will be elected to the Medford school, board In th. annual election May 1. There are three candidates for the five-year term. They are Dr. David C.I Boals, Gerald M. (Jerry) Gastl neau, and LeRoy J. Smith. The following is the first in a series of three artiolei in which ' candidates' biogra phies are presented.) Dr. David C. Boals, 43 Glen Oak ct., Medford, established practice in Medford in 1955, after moving here from Mult nomah county, where he was a member of the Maplewood district school board. He was born in v Seattle, Wash., in 1921, and received his education in Seattle, at the University of Washington and Northwestern university school of medicine. He moved to Oregon . in 1948 after he was discharged from military service as a captain in the Army medical corps. Postgraduate Training Dr. Boals completed post graduate training in anesthe , siology at the Veterans hospi tal, Portland, and the Univer sity of Oregon medical school in 1949, and was appointed to the faculty of the university's medical school the same year. He was appointed associate clinical professor in anesthe siology in lgSB, and in 1951 had served as president of the Oregon Society of Anesthesi ologists. After moving to Medford, he was appointed associate examiner for the American Board of Anesthesiology in 1958. He is now president of the medical staff at Rogue Valley hospital and is deputy medical director of Jackson county civil defense. On School Board While on the board of the Maplewood school district, the district was Involved in a major building program. Dur ing Dr. Boals' chairmanship, the problems relative to an nexation by adjacent Port land school district were of major community interest. His wife is the former ' Ester Froberg of Chicago, and they have three children. Dr. Boals said: "I feel my experience as a teacher and school board member will be of value if I am elected to the school board of this district. I believe the school board should work essentially in an advisory capacity to the school administration, but I feel it is equally important that school board members re- DR. DAVID C. BOALS main well informed on the issues facing the school ad ministration so that the best interests of the children and all the taxpayers are served. "We cJnnot afford a second rate educational program, but we must realize our respon sibility to the taxpayers and permit no expenditure of funds that are not basic to the education of our children."

After the pay ment, the Bonn government will owe the United States $200,370,574. Plans for Manned Flight in Space Suffers Setback Cape Canaveral, Fla.-(UP&-America's hopes of firing an astronaut into orbit this year were all but ended today by the destruction of an off course Atlas missile in a cru cial test shot. Scientists still planned to send a man on a shorter trip into space next wef k, how ever. An escape system rescued a space capsule a split-second before its rocket booster was blown up by a range safety officer Tuesday." The func tioning of the escape system heightened the chances that an astronaut may still ride, a Redstone rocket 115 miles Up and about 250 miles over the Atlantic next Tuesday. ! Full Rehearsal Planned ; The capsule fired Tuesday carried a robot "astronaut" which the United States hi(d hoped to orbit with a modified Atlas rocket and recover 110 minutes later a full rehear sal for an orbital flight by one of the nation's seven highly trained astronauts. But the rocket veered from its flight path arid had to be destroyed 41 seconds after blast-off. This was the second failure in the Atlas' last three missions in the Project Mer cury man-into-space program. Mercury Director Robert R. Gilruth said later a manned orbital flight for America "is still on the schedule for this calendar year." Other sources said, however, the prospects were dim indeed that all the shots would go "down the line"' toward a previously planned November target date. Weather Batters Eastern Region By United Press International "Brutal windstorms, hail and heavy rain struck between the Ozarks and the Appalachians today behind a slow-grinding cold front headed for the East coast. The late April storm, re sponsible for ravaging a score of communities Tuesday, gath ered strength in Tennessee and Kentucky during the night and set off widely scat tered thundershowers from South Carolina to Maine. At Warren, Pa., the Alle gheny river mounted a foot above 14-foot flood stage, clos ing off the city's west end and flooding basements in the business district. Swollen creeks deposited two feet of water across Washington, Pa., streets and minor flooding was reported in many western Pennsylvania towns. Other flooding threatened along the Wabash and White rivers in Indiana and the Pe tite Saline near Boonville, Mo. Flash floods deluged the West Virginia Panhandle dur ing the night under two inches of ram. Kennedy Receiving Heavy Volume of Threatening Mail Washington-IUPD-The White House is getting an unusually heavy volume of 'threatening and obscene mall addressed to President Kennedy. But the flow of anti-Catholic letters to Kennedy, heavy just before and after his in auguration, has slackened. ' The White House mail room has been referring more than 2,000 threatenting or obscene letters and , postal cards a month to the Secret Service for investigation and possible prosecuting. The President never sees them. 3,200 in March There were 2,300 such re ferrals in February and 3,200 in March. The March figure probably was inflated by mail Kennedy received . between the election and inauguration and which was not opened un til after he took office. The Secret Service already has re ceived more than 2,000 letters this month. Unless the trend changes, the 1961 total Is sure to jump well above the 17,000 to 20,- 000 pieces of objectionable mail that Secret Service Chief U. E. Baughman considers normal for a single year. , The mail it not directed so much at Kennedy personally as at the President of the United States. Why is Kennedy getting more of this sort of mall than his predecessor did?

The prosecution in the trial of the man accused of the mass slaughter of six million Jews succeeded in placing in to the court record a deposi tion charging that Eichmann suggested the "final solution murder of the Jewish problem to Nazi Police Chief Heinrich Hlmmler. Himmler took it from there and Adolf Hitler personally issued the order. , The deposition was made by Dieter Wisliceny, a former subordinate of Eichmann in the SS Corps who was execut ed as a war criminal. Some thing happened to the great friendship that once existed between them, and Wisliceny offered to cooperate with the American Army in running Eichmann down after the war. The offer was rejected. Wis liceny said Eichmann and SS General Odilo Globocnik be tween them conceived the "final solution." ' The words from the grave were a damaging blow to Elchmann's case, and he seem ed to realize it. He made many notes inside his bullet proof glass box to the left of the judges' bench. Occasion ally he frowned as he listen ed to the reading of the Wis liceny deposition. Eichmann's entire defense is built around the contention that he never had anything to do with for mulating Nazi policy, was op posed to the extermination of the Jews, and was only a "small sausage" blindly obey ing orders. France Explodes Nuclear Device Paris-fflPll-French scientists Tuesday exploded another nu clear device deep in the Sa hara Desert in Algeria despite the power struggle between President Charles de Gaulle and mutinous French gener als. It was the fourth explosion in a series of atomic tests that have provoked angry protests by African nations and com plaints by Russia at the nu clear test ban talks in Geneva. The announcement released through government-authorized sources in Paris said the explosion concluded the cur rent series of above-ground tests in North Africa. son, officials suggested, Is that Eisenhower was exceptionally popular. Another may be rec ent U.S. setbacks in Laos, Cuba and space flight. When international problems boil up, White House mail both normal and crackpot get heavier. A third reason, Sec ret Service agents, said, might be greater awareness of Ken nedy resulting from television broadcasts of his news conferences. t v ' (. i , -mrnmmmimmfvmmvmnmeiffsw iwiiiwiyjgn'tnril'r""'rT"i"iii ft " TW i I l1,iftitiiiitf''''-J' awtoaMy SPARKS, NEV.

(Advertisement) "AH over the Northwest, towns like this depend on a stable forest industry" For that matter, about half the economy of the whole region is based on the forest industry. That's why it is so important that forest products mills have a steady log supply. Not only right now, but for generations - even centuries to come. We're working toward this goal on our own tree farms. Every year we harvest a limited amount of old, virgin timber. The cut is calculated to keep our mills supplied until our second-growth forests are ready for the first harvests. ' .i The second-growth timber comes from the natural and artificial reforestation that takes place annually. Eventually these new forests will consist of trees of all ages Every year a crop will become old enough to harvest - and replace. This will give us a fairly uniform flow of logs year after year, indefinitely. With a constant raw material supply, our operations can continue to provide payrolls, taxes and other income without interruption for the Oregon and Washington communities in which we operate.
