Probe woter Lists $ Oregon raers Many Pamphlets Not Delivered, Survey Indicates Salem-ll)PD-A probe of voter lists was ordered today by Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. Appling announced the probe after revealing that in Benton county nearly one of every five voters pamphlets sent for the Nov. 6 general election did not get delivered. Benton county had been picked by Appling as a test area to determine the status of voter lists. Results of the probe are ex pected to result in recommen dations to the coming legisla ture for law changes. Appling said the present situation gives an unrealistic ly high indication of the num ber of registered voters. He said voter turnout percentage would be much higher if reg istration accurately retieciea the number of persons en gible to vole. Economics Seen Appling also indicated economies could result if pam phlets were not mailed to per inolinttlll' in vote The Benton county study is the first of its kind ever ncia. Benton is one of 11 counties where the voter list is now maintained by the state rath er than in the individual courthouses. The program be gan this year for counties which wanted to participate. In Benton county, Appling explained, 3.370 of the 18,179 information booklets sent out were not delivered. Twelve were sent to dead persons, and 907 persons now have dif ferent addresses within tho same communities where they are registered. May Ask Death Notices Another 136 moved else where in the same county, 758 moved to another part of Ore gon, and 874 left the state. Appling is expected to ask the legislature to have official death notices forwarded to county clerks so the names of dead persons will be removed. He will again ask lawmak ers for permission to send only one pamphlet to a house hold where all residents are registered in the same party. This plan was rejected by the 1961 legislature.

Ill West Main Sides Taken on Order Barring Discrimination By United Press International Integration leaders today praised President Kennedy's order barring racial discrimi nation in federally assisted housing, but strong opposition to it shaped up in the South. Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.) called the executive order "an audacious usurpation of pow er by the executive branch." "1 shall do all within my power to rally the friends of constitutional government in the Congress to secure the re ciston of this order," Stennis said. Lauded by King On the other hand, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., long time integration leader, said the order "carries the whole nation forward to the realiza tion of the American dream." "This is the kind of leader ship from the White House that the Negro community has waited for so long," the min ister, who heads the Southern Christian Leadership Confer ence, said. These two views roughly outlined the camps of reaction. Sen. A. Willis Robertson (D Va.) attacked the order on legal, economic and political grounds. Said Unconstitutional Robertson, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, said the order was "absolutely unconstitutional," and describ ed its issuance as "political expediency aimed at winning support" of the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People. Robertson warned the order would cut housing construc tion "by anywhere from 25 to 50 per cent" and bring losses that probably will "run into the billions . . ." Roy Elkins, executive secre tary of the NAACP, said his organization "was gratified that the order has been is sued." Eugene Minister Addresses Local Rotary Club "No religion has a monop oly on truth. There is too much arrogance, conceit and cxclusivcnesi In all religions." This view was expressed by the Rev. E. J. Aschenbrcn ner, Eugene, supervisor of southern Oregon Methodist churches, in a Thanksgiving address here Tuesday before the Mcdford Rotary club. Speaking at a luncheon meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club. Air. Aschcn- brenner said that only vital religions can perpetuate the freedoms we now enjoy. There is need, he said, to spell out the relationship be tween religions and govern ment in view of the recent hue and cry over prayers in public schools. To clarify the confusion in people's minds today it is essential that there be thinking at grass roots level. Good government can not be maintained without a real moral code. Religion Vital Force Mr. A.sclienbrenner recall ed that religion was a vital force in the establishment of the Pilgrim settlement in 16-0 and was emphasized in the Mayflower Compact. The first Thanksgiving Day ob served by the Pilgrim?, a day which has since become the only recognized U.S. religions holiday, found the tiny colony with only half of 104 mem bers who landed. Despite the fact that death and hardships had besci the group, the initial observance was a joyous oc casion. Today, when we must de cide if Thanksgiving is to be a relic or force, we must rec ognize that social changes dictate Hie expanding of hu man equality, he said. It is an issue the nation has tried to evade for more than a century, he added. Mr. Aschenhrenncr was in troduced by Dr. George Rose brrrv. minister of the First I Methodist church of Mcdford. Phone 772-2322 amages lay Malheur.County Judge Reversed In $25,000 Case Salem -IUPII- The Oregon Supreme Court today reversed a $25,000 damage award given to a high school football play er injured in a football game. The court reversed Malheur County Circuit Judge Jeff D. Dorroh Jr., who gave the award to Louis Vendrell, a student of Malheur County School District No. 26C. Attorneys for the boy ar gued that he was an inex perienced football player and therefore he shouldn't have been sent into the game, where he was hurt when tackled by two other players. Experience Indicated The supreme court, with Justice George Rossman writ ing the decision, said that on the contrary, evidence indi cated that the boy was ex perienced - having played football in junior high, in the same position as the team on which he was hurt. Rossman said the boy had three years of football experi ence, had undergone extensive training, practice and play. Neither did the fact that the boy was tackled hard by two boys on the opposing team es tablish any negligence on the part of the school district, Rossman saiti. The boy's attorneys further charged that he had not been furnished with proper football gear, but the court said evi dence showed that all equip ment had been regularly in spected. Rossman noted that the boy did not mention to the manager, coaches or any school representative that he found any fault with any of his gear. Also, the boy had the option of selecting new gear, but he failed to do so, the decision said. In a prior decision, the high court ruled that a school dis trict is liable for damages if a student is hurt in sports ac-tivity-but only those districts which carry insurance. Dis tricts that don't carry insur ance aren't liable. That ruling had no relation to the Ven drell case except that it was part of the precedent. Ven drell's school was insured.

Harris affirm ed; suit by a passenger to re cover for injuries in a fall after stepping off a bus, ver dict for the bus firm affirmed.

Joining with their neighbors, they shared to gether and worshipped to gether in a common giving of thanks. Thanksgiving Day has ever since been part of the fabric which has united Amer icans with their past, with each other and with the future of all mankind. It is fitting that we observe this year our own day of thanksgiving. It is fitting that we give our thanks for the safety of our land, for the fer tility of our harvests, for the Americans Making Final Preparations For Thanksgiving By United Press International Americans at home and abroad made last-minute prep arations today for celebrating the Pilgrim feast of Thanks giving. President Kennedy's procla mation marking the holiday urged "that all observe this day with reverence and with humility." "It is fitting that we give our thanks for the safety of our land, for the fertility of our harvests, for the strength of our liberties, for the health of our people," he said. Much of the activity will center around dinner tables laden with such traditional fare as turkeys, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, mince meat and pumpkin pics. The Defense Department said military cooks will roast some 112,000 turkeys to give the 2.600,000 servicemen in this country and throughout the world a traditional feast. Others should have no trou ble laying in provisions, as the turkey flock this year Johnson Completes Monitoring Course Buford Johnson, deputy di rector for civil defense and sheriff's safety officer, has completed a course in radio logical monitoring for instruc tors, according to Maj. Gen. Joseph H. Hicks. Jackson county civil defense director. He took the course at the civil defense training center, Alameda, Calif., recently. It included basic concepts of nuclear science, character istics of nuclear explosions, radiation effects upon -lan, principles of radiation detec tion, fallout plotting, typi's, use and maintenance of in struments and radiological monitoring. J o li n so ll participated in field exercises in locating sim ulated contaminated areas using radioactive material. "Radiological monitoring is an indispensable service to strength of our liberties, for the health of our people. We do so in no spirit of self righteousness. We recognize that we are the beneficiaries of the toil and devotion of our fathers and that we can pass their legacy on to our children only by equal toil and equal devotion. We recognize too that we live in a world of peril and change - and in so uncer tain a time we are all the more grateful for the indes tructible gifts of hope and love, which sustain us in ad versity and inspire us to labor unceasingly for a more per fect community within this na tion and around the earth. Now, therefore, I, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America, in accord with the joint resolu tion of Congress, approved De cember 26, 1941, which desig nates the fourth Thursday in November of each year as numbers up to 92 million birds, with another 113,500 tons in cold storage. And the cranberry crop is estimated at a record 70,000 tons. Throughout the nation steps were taken to provide the needy with bountiful meals. Shut-Ins Remembered In Massachusetts, some 50, 000 shut-ins, including more than 20,000 patients at state mental hospitals and 4,000 prisoners, will share 85,472 pounds of turkey. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Sargent, about 1,000 old peo ple and welfare recipients in Des Moines, Iowa, will have a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. .For the 16lh year in a row, the owners of Sargent's Cafe, in Des Moines have saved enough nickels and dimes to give the dinner. Students at New Trier High school in Evanston, 111., col lected thousands of cans of food to distribute to Chicago, area charities for their wards. all civil defense organizations and their operations," Gen era! Hicks said. "Monitoring services will be required in case of an attack from a period shortly after the attack until the radiologi cal hazard from the fallout diminishes and normal activi ties can be resumed," he noted. Johnson will conduct courses in radiological moni toring for personnel of the lo cal civil defense organization and the Jackson county sher iff's reserve. Tlie civil defense training center in Alameda is one of three in the United States conducting a continuous pro gram in training civil defense personnel.

Trailer owners not having the required registrations and licenses will receive citations. Many house trailers in Jack son county do not meet the requirements specified by state law, Bettiol said. The law requires all house trailers, except those held by dealers, be currently registered with the department of motor ve hicles. A license plate also must be displayed at all times on the rear of the trailer. This is required regardless of use, he said. "For a house trailer to qualify for real property as sessment it must be made im mobile, wheels and axle re moved, foundation enclosed and have fixed pipe, water and sewer connections," Bet tiol explained. After registration becomes due all registration and li cense fees, plus added penal ties, result in a hen on the house trailer. This is collect able by seizure and sale of the house trailer as provided by law, he noted.
