    Racial Pride Vital
If U.S. Negro Is
To Improve Status
Oakland, Calif. IUPII The
American Negro will not get
far in his battle for equal
rights until he acquires ra
cial pride, the chairman of
the Afro-American associa
tion said today.
"What the Negro needs is
the same pride that helped
the Chinese, Jews and Irish
to overcome prejudice," Don-
Sale of Paper
Firm Negotiated
San Francisco - IUP1) - R. V.
Hansberger, president of
Boise Cascade Corp., Boise,
Idaho, disclosed Tuesday that
terms have been negotiated
with Crown Zellerbach Corp.
for the purchase of St. Helens
Pulp & Paper Co. in Oregon.
Hansberger said the pro
posal now is before the Fed
eral Trade commission and his
company will pay $30 million
for the "package," which ex
cludes some timber lands and
equipment.
' Hansberger said his firm
would finance the deal
through long term borrowings
from two insurance compa
nies. The Federal Trade commis
sion had ordered Crown Zel
lerbach to divest itself of St.
Helens in 1957 on grounds of
monopoly and the order since
has been sustained by the
courts.
Boise Cascade was formed
by the 1957 merger of Boise
Payette Lumber Co. and Cas
cade Lumber Co. The Colum
bia River Paper Co. was ac
quired last year.
Hansberger said return on
investment is a prime goal.
He said the rate of return has
been increased from 6.2 per
cent in 195B to 9.6 per cent in
1962 and the objective is now
15 per cent.
He added it was only a mat
ter of time until the stock
will be listed on the New
York Stock Exchange.

aid Warden told United Press
International.
Warden urged his follow
ers to "throw away your
bleaching creams, throw
away your hair straightener,
quit dropping out of school.
quit flunking out and get
off welfare.
"If you won't accept the
challenge to improve your
self, then admit that you are
inferior," he said.
The 27-year-old attorney
also was critical of the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People
(NAACP) and similar civil
rights groups. He called the
NAACP a "middleclass orga
nization" which leaves the
Negro without a sense of
purpose.
Three Jobs
He charged that during the
Birmingham demonstrations
"over $2 million was wasted
and only three Negroes got
jobs out of it."
"It may cost a million dol
lars to desegregate a lunch
counter and if successful,
this will create maybe a doz
en jobs," he says.
"The Negro would be
smarter to spend that million
on a factory which might
employ 1,000 Negroes."
This philosophy and War
den's criticism of "moderate"
civil rights groups has result
ed in strong criticism by
some Negro leaders.
Terry Francois, former
head of the San Francisco
chapter of the NAACP, has
blasted the young attorney
as "a modern Uncle Tom who
should be tarred and
feathered." .
Warden stressed the need
for the majority of Negroes
to improve their lot through
education and self respect
a void which he said the
NAACP and CORE have ne
glected. Hearing Under Way
On Teacher's Suit
Oregon City-WPD-A hearing
was being conducted here to
day on whether a 64-year-old
Oregon City school teacher
would be able to teach her
final year before retirement.
Mrs. Jewell Joy has been
charged with insubordination
by the Oregon City school
board.
She has taught at the East
ham elementary school for
19 years and has been a
teacher since 1923.
Mrs. Joy was charged by
attorney Lowell Njust, coun
sel for the school board, with
criticizing Supt. Edwin Ditto,
principals and teachers.
Mrs. Joy, through her at
torney, James O. Goodwin,
denied the 25 charges
brought against her in the
hearing which started Tues
day. Goodwin said the board's
charges against her, with in
dications she might not be re
hired, were made known to
her July 20. He said that if
the board were going to fire
her she should have been
notified March 15, at the end
of her three-year contract.
She said teaching the addi
tional year before retirement
would increase her teaching
retirement benefits from S100
to SI 10 per month.

English Peer Wins
Back Old Seat in
British Commons
London - IUPII - Anthony
Wedgwood Benn, the first
British peer ever to renounce
his title, won back his old
seat in the House of Com
m o n s Tuesday night by
swamping three opponents in
a by-election at Bristol.
The victory by the 38-year-old
"Persistent commoner"
had been expected. He will
take his seat when Parliament
reconvenes in October.
It set the stage for the re
sumption of a political career
in the opposition Labor party
that many observers believe
holds a brilliant future.
Benn was forced out of the
House of Commons after rep
resenting Bristol for a decade
when his father, Viscount
Stansgate, died in November,
1960. By assuming the heredi
tary title, Benn was forced
into the House of Lords which
he once termed the "outer
Mongolia" of British politics.
Lords is virtually powerless.
Led Campaign
But Benn led a campaign
for a peerages reform act to
permit those who wanted to
renounce their titles and run
for Commons. Titled persons
are forbidden to sit in Com
mons under British law and
tradition.
The reform act passed last
month and Benn went on to
win election from Bristol by
polling 20,313 votes.
Three Independents opposed
Benn, but neither the Con
servative nor the Liberal
parties entered candidates.
Edward Martell, 54, a news
paper publisher, got 4.834
votes; Mrs. Marguerite Lloyd,
49, received 287 ballots and
Geoffrey Pearl, 44, registered
44 votes.

District 549C to
Use Fairgrounds
Field (or Baseball
Reports on various meet
ings were presented to the
school board of District 549C
last night.
Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield,
superintendent, told the board
the district plans to use the
Jackson county fairgrounds
athletic field for baseball and
junior varsity football games.
The Jackson county court had
asked the district whether it
would use the facilities.
The field will be converted
for football use, the court re
ported to Dr. Mayfield. The
field is lighted, providing fa
cilities for night games.
Dr. Mayfield noted that the
district has been interested in
scheduling night baseball
games.
The games will be played
on the fairgrounds field in
order to keep use of the new
field at Medford High school
to a minimum. Varsity foot
ball games will continue to
be played at the high school
site.
Meeting With District
Dr. Mayfield also reported
on a meeting with Applegate
school district representatives
concerning their interest in
consolidating with District
549C. The Applegate district
has been considering aspects
of consolidation with Medford
or the Grants Pass and Jose
phine county units, but has
not yet reached a decision.
The Applegate district also
sought permission from the
Medford board to allow two
Applegate students to attend
ninth grade in Medford start
ing this year. The Medford
board granted the request.
Reports also were given on
the two-week elementary team
teaching workshop now being
conducted at Hoover school,
on construction of temporary
buildings, and on progress of
the citizens' advisory commit
tee. Portland Livestock

Student in Germany
Writes About Activities
James Rowan, son of Mr.
and Mrs. James P. Rowan, 828
Minnesota ave., is spending
the summer in Gottingen, Ger
many, under the Americans
Abroad program.
In letters he has written to
his parents, James commented
on the difficulties of the lan
guage barrier. '
He is living with the Von
Buttlar family. Members of
family were described by the
local student. The father is an
avid hunter; Wolf, the son is
about six feet tall and Ange-
lika, 13, is one of the daugh
ters. The other daughter is
Karcn-Uta, who recently re
turned from the U.S.A. and
the family drove to Rotter
dam, The Netherlands, to
meet her.
The home is described by
James as being very beauti
ful. The family owns a forest
to the south of Gottingen
which has been in the family
for more than 400 years. From
the house there is a view of
the city.
American Breakfast
One morning James cooked
an American breakfast for the
family.
Wolf and James went on a
week's bicycle excur s i o n
around Gottingen. The two
rode about 150 miles visiting
castles and eating at youth
hostels. James explained that
they could sleep at one of the
hostels for about 23 cents a
night and eat well on $1.25 a
day.
During the trip to Rotter
dam James visited with Jens
Hasfeldt of Denmark who
lived in Medford with the
Rowans as an American Field
Service exchange student this
last school year.
James described the food as
quite good - not much meat -but
very fattening,
Al Family Estate
Following the trip to Rot
terdam the family spent the
rest of the holidays in Elber
bcrg near Kassel. It is a little
village near the forests and
Von Buttlar family estate, a
meeting place of all the rela
tives, James explained.

Wolf said that Elberberg "is
a mixture of feudalism and
youth-hostel."
In July James accompanied
Wolf to school, finding their
"gymnasium" much like high
school in the United States.

of about 90,000 and is one of
the oldest university-cities in
Germany.
