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.

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.

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.

Proclamation for Thanksgiving
By United Press International
Following is the text of
President Kennedy's Thanks
giving Day proclamation:
Over three centuries ago in
Plymouth, on Massachusetts
Bay, the Pilgrims established
the custom of gathering to
gether each year to express
their gratitude to God for the
preservation of their commu
nity and for the harvests their
labors brought forth in the
new land. 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

Deputies To Check
On House Trailers
Jackson county sheriff's
deputies will start checking
house trailers for current
registration and licenses,
Sheriff Paul Bettiol said to
day. 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.
Additional information on
registration regulations may
be obtained by contacting
Richard Garrett at the sher
