Lincoln Vice Probe Continues NEWPORT. Ore. Ml Lincoln County Justices of the peace were to testily Tuesday at a grand jury investigation of charges of rambling, corruption and other illegal activities. The Investigation, the third recent months, is being conducted by Dist. AUy. William Hollen with SUte Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn ton sitting in. Circuit Judge Pred McHenry ordered it, and told the Jurors to bring in a report that would end the months of bickering in the county. Witnesses at Monday's opening 1 ' session included members ol a pre vious grand jury. The. foreman of this Jury, Mrs. Victoria Alborn of Agate Beach, has said that her Jury's report was changed before Being maae pudjic. sne saia por tion which stated "laxity in law enforcement still exists in some instances" was eliminated. She blames Hollen for the omission. Several other members of the previous Jury disagreed with her. What was actually said at Mon day's session was not known, however, as the proceedings are secret. The Justices of the peace sched uled to testify Tuesday were L. C, Brnyton of Newport and J. JE. Hommnck of Devils Lake. They were told to bring their court dockets for the years 1950 to 1953. George Ulley, former state patrolman and five officers from the Newport state police office, also were to testify Tuesday. Subpoenaed for Wednesday are Otto Cahlll, a leader of a group of Lincoln County residents who have been critical of past law enforcement, and Jack Waterman, a, former sheriff's deputy, ' Hollen left the Jury room several times at Monday's session. He said earlier he would leave if the Jury or witness wanted him to but he refused to get out of the case completely as Thornton wanted. Thornton had told him in a letter made publlo in Portland that since Hollen was the object of some of the charges, he should leave the Investigation to others. Thornton remained In the Jury room throughout Monday's ses sions. - tWTRtWV. CHICAGO LIVESTOCK ' CHICAGO Of!

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oil czzc won tabic ds958a 23 24 hours to 4.-30 a.m. Tuesday New business on the City Coun cil agenda Monday night included a request for rezoning of another residential area to a business zone: old business was the disposition of an offer for a concession stand and bids on equipment for the new Municipal Swimming Pool. Two men requested CouncU by letter to rezone three blocks in the area where Eldorado intersects Highway 97 north of the railroad. The men are Ted J. Wright. 1531 Avalon, and A. C. Bebout, Sacra mento. According to the letter, the men are planinng to construct a motel in the now vacant area. The rezening request has been referred to the Planning Commis sion for study an recommenda lion. Disposition of L. P. Brockman's ofter to operate a concession stand his property adjacent to the swimming pool followed the read' ing of two recommendations from the Swimming Pool Committee. The committee first recommend' ed that no vending machines be allowed on park property; it then recommended that Brockman be given the right of egress and in. gress access to customers over city property without the obstruc tion of a fence for a period of three years. In return, Brockman will pay the city five per cent of his gross sales for three years, and the city will not operate a concession in competition during this time. The committee, in its recom mendation, advised that any other applicant be given the same privi lege if be meets the same require ments, "to eliminate discrimina tion and to prevent encouraging an individual to invest on the grounds that, he would be protect ed from competition," as Council man Frank Tarr stated. The council concurred in the committee's recommendation. Bids on equipment for the pool -Jfte Guard umbrella. towels, sweat shirts, etc. in the amount of 12,207.45 were awarded last nigni to individual bidders, mostly local. The first estimate on the cost of equipment necessary was aooui t5.000. according to Recreation Di rector Bob Bonney, which leaves almost 13.00a worth yet to be awarded and the problem of fi nancing the purchases. Councilman Tarr asked Mayor Paul Landry which fund would take care of the purchases, ana was told that would have to be worked out, but the mayor indicated that he had a possible solution in mma The council also heard a letter which suggests Mayor Landry for appointment to a committee of the National Commission on intergov ernmental Relations to study the role of federal aid to airports, Landrv la one of three suggested- tho other two are Mayor William B. Hartsfield of Atlanta, Georgia, and Mayor A. E. Cobo of Detroit, Michigan. Mayor Landry was suggesiea bv Randall Hamilton, American Municipal Association manager ih Washington. D.C.. in a letter to Thomas J. Craves, liaison director of the National Commission on In tergovernmental Relations, and a copy of that letter has been sent Landry. The Klamath Falls mayor was de scribed as "a good representative of the airport problems of a small er city and can discuss the effect of the federal-aid airport program on municipalities which aren't ma jor centers of airplane operation. Landry said ne did not expect to be named to the committee, but, he added, "it certainly makes us feel good to have our names mentioned in connection with such thing." O.S.

Ih general these guides Indicate that less po tatoes should be grown in order 10 prevent another year. of over-pro- auction, For the 11 western states the re duction is six per cent, for Idaho nine per cent and for Oregon six per cent. 'For tne 29 late states, the reduction is also six per cent. If these guides are closely followed oy growers tne acreage ana quan tity of potatoes lor 1954 should be very close to that of 1952. in 1952 the Klamath Basin planted 19,961 acres of potatoes and harvested a crop that sold for $16, 4io,S4y; in 1953 the acreage in creased to 24,355 acres and the sales value Is now estimated to be $7,367,000. With an acreage in crease of slightly over 20 per cent the total or gross receipts is down more than 50 per. cent. The big question now is what acreage will the nation's potato growers plant in 1954?? The early planted acreage apparently Is down to some extent. What late growers will plant is highly problematical. MUNICIPAL fOURT Furmore Crane, drunk, $15 or V.'i days. George Oileczanek. drunk, SIS or 7'.i days. StriTS Donald Adams vs. Flora L.

The February report of the Na tional Potato Council says that the one sure way to make 1654 prof itable is to cut the potato acreage and cut it enough. William Case, director of this national potato group, points out that if potato growers do not cut they can expect little help from the federal govern ment. Case feels, however, that if growers throughout the nation make a real effort to reduce acre age, that some government assist ance might be secured if needed, particularly for the diversion of sur pluses with the use of Section 32 funds. ilV- (Ay iH "J 1 s PVT.
