' Logger's Club Holdup Told Three hours after the Logger's Club in Bly was held up at 1 a.m. Wednesday the alleged robber who fled with $90 in cash was captured by Deputy Sheriff Dale Snulli. The accused robber, Raymond Eugene Lovelace, 21-year-old form er Oregon State Prison inmate, is reported to Aave menaced Martin Cavan, proprietor of Uie club, wiui a long-bjaded knife. Smith (aid the robber scooped 190 Irom the casn, register and tied into a nearby field. Three hours later Smith arrested Lovelace m the boiler room of the Slangier Mill, He had 990 in his possession. Cavan told the deputy sheriff that Lovelace had been loitering about the club. When Cavan stall ed to count the cash in the regis ter. Lovelace is alleged to have walked behind the bar and put a knife against the proprietor's back. "Don't move, mac," the robber ordered, "or I'll let you have it." , A lew minutes after the thief fled, Deputy Smith reached the scene, tie started trailing the rob ber through the snow-covered field and finally trailed him to the mill.

The ac cused holdup man admitted to of ficers that he served a term in Oregon Stste Prison for auto theft. Postal Rate Boost Seen WASHINGTON 11 Key sena tors said Wednesday Postmaster General Summertield may well get a postal rate increase of the size he has asked for, but that it is likely to be offset by a pay boost for the B00, 000 postal employes. This was the view of some mem bers of the Postoffice and Civil Service Committee which will have to pass on both the rate bill and the proposed pay boost. They asked not to be named. A rate Increase sufficient to cov er higher pay would be in line with the controversial report of an advisory council to the Senate Committee, made public Monday. This report made many criti cisms of postal operations and as serted "hundreds of millions" of dollars could be saved by more efficient methods. Meanwhile it said rate boosts should be held to a minimum except lor what was needed to offset a pay hike. Summerfleld replied that the claims of what could be saved were ridiculous. He also accused the council of dodging the chore of trying to wipe out the postal deficit. But he added that he had not done so and would ' present a financial plan to the Senate com mittee by the end of this month. Murder Count Faces Soldier DENVER m Asst. U, S, Atty. Robert Swanson said Tuesday the government will ask a verdict of first degree murder without rec ommendation for leniency against Richard D. Smith. Swanson, in his opening argu ment before a federal court Jury, said Smith, 23-year-old Army corp oral, deliberately killed his attrac tive German war bride, Johanna, at Camp Carson, Colo., last October. A recommendation in the case would force U. S. Dlst. Judgo Les Knous to sentence Smith to life in federal prison. No recommendation the course Swanson says the gov ernment would take would lead Smith to the gas chamber at the state prison in Canon City. Colo, Swanson told the Jury of live wo men and seven men, that govern ment witnesses would leave no doubt Johanna's death was premeditated.
