The chief justice said in an interview Thursday night he is restricted from making any rec ommendation to the government. "This is just a fact-finding com mission." he said. "The govern ment will have to decide what tne next steps are. His powers allow him to sub poena any witness he wishes. "It all depends, though, on how matters progress." he said. "I wouldn't hazard a guess as to who will be called as witnesses." Chief Justice Sloan is asked to una out whether a number of lumber companies paid or trans ferred "money or other property" to Sommers as consideration for issuing forest management li censes.

W-Police today had orders to arrest all of ficers of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple they could find in integration- wracKeo Little kock. The city council last night voted unanimously for the arrests. Acting Mayor Lee H. Evans and seven aldermen agreed on the ac tion after the NAACP failed to- obey a new ordinance which requires certain groups to bare their confidential files. Deadline for submitting the in formation was yesterday. Only two local NAACP officers were known to authorities and one of them, Mrs. L. C. Bates, was in New York. She is state president ot tne organization. The other officer is the Rev. J. C. Crenchaw. pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist, Church and pres ident ot tne Little Kock chapter of the NAACP. Mayor Woodrow Wilson Mann notified the NAACP and three Lit tle Rock segregationist groups Oct. 15 that they would have to make their records public under the new ordinance. The NAACP this week filed a petition in U.S. District Court here requesting a restraining order to mock enlorcement of the ordi nance and a hearing was set for Nov. 4. All three of the segregationist groups the, League of Central High Mothers, the Freedom Fund for Little Rock and the Capital Citizens Council submitted their records to the city yesterday. Mann said after telling the four organizations to file their reports that he considered all were con tributing to racial tension at Little Kock. Mann is in New York on a busi ness trip. The federal-state deadlock over integration of nine Negro students at Central High School shows no sign of loosening. After Gov. Orval Faubus placed National Guardsmen around the school and the six Negro girls and three boys were barred, a federal court enjoined the governor from interfering with integration. Faubus withdrew the guards men and rioting broke out when the Negroes entered Central High aept. 23. Next day. President Eis enhower federalized the Arkansas Guardsmen and sent 1,000 para troopers to Little Rock. The Ne groes entered the school Sept. 25 ana nave attended classes since. Although most of the guardsmen have been released from duty and half of the 101st Airborne Divi sion contingent has left Little Rock, federal soldiers still remain inside and outside Central High. Mayor's Wife Killed In Fall LEBANON, Ore.

She left the key to her apart-, ment in her car and instead of I going back for it, she climbed out 1 a window in the entry hall and attempted to cross a narrow ledze that led to her bedroom window. ) She suffered fatal head injur-: ies in the fall. ' Survivors besides the widower, ti include two sons, Lyon Lawrence: of Lebanon and Martell Serospini of San Francisco. il All Saints Day Conducted NEW ORLEANS Wl The city paid homage to its dead today with cemeteries transformed into blanket; of flowers as the centuries-old observance of All Saints Day was renewed. The feast day a high holiday in the Roman Catholic Church stems from the early days of Christianity to honor the martyrs, but in the past several centuries it has neen the day on which all sajnls, both known and unknown, are venerated. This city's cemeteries are among its leading showspots be cause of the practice of burying only above ground in crypts, vaults and raised graves. Today few graves were found without brilliant arrays of chrysanthe mums, carnations, rose or other blossoms adorning them. Workshop Set On Reading Featuring a discussion of its purposes and use in modern edu cation, a workshop in choral read ing will be conducted at Peterson School, Saturday, November 2, at 10 a.m. with Leon Mulling, di rector of the Southern Oregon Speech and Hearing Center, in charge. Citing the importance of choral reading for classroom use, Mull ing listed the following benefits: Such an activity helps to correct articulatory difficulties of children without calling attention to the 'in dividual child; helps to give chil dren a basic sense of rhythm, draws the shy child into group activity, increases appreciation of literature, and releases tensions of children by giving them verbal outlet. Mu 1 1 i n g announced that all teachers attending the workshop would be enabled to participate in an experiment with choral reading techniques. Group Seeks End To Riots LA PAZ, Bolivia Wl A federal parliamentary delegation sought today to end three days of vio lence in eastern Bolivia's oil-rich Santa Cruz Province. Two persons were killed yester day in the City of Santa Cruz in demonstrations against the feder al government's taking all royal ties from nationalized oil fields. Rioters attacked police headquar ters, fatally stabbing a federal po lice agent, and a youth was killed in an exchange of gunfire in the main square; The government Tuesday de clared a nationwide state of siege a modified form of martial law because of violence in Santa Cruz and sent federal police to the jungle provinee on the Brazilian border. Tax Group (Continued from Page One) among senators that they should delay action on it until the House acts on tne aenaie-passea uui iu take away the state's power to levy a property taxr Most senators fear that House Democrats might bury the bill, as thev did durine the regular session. The bill passed tne ben ate. 29-1. Soon after the House voted 42-17 for the governor's bill to boost the $95 per child per year basic school aid to $105, the Senate Taxation Committee approved it 7-2. Its fate in the Senate is doubt ful. Some senators would rather have the state take over the coun ty school levy, and some do not favor any property tax relief at all. ' ' The basic school increase bill would cost five million dollars a year, and about four millions of that would reduce property taxes. Taking over the county school levy also would cost five millions and all of it would reduce prop erty levies. The Senate committee favored a bill by Sen. Warren Gill (R). Lebanon, to give $7,500 property tax exemptions for homesteads of persons over 65 years of age, pro vided they earn less than $2,400 a year. The Senate Republican tax plan would eliminate the 45 per cent income surtax voted by the 1955 Legislature, and the 6 per cent increase beyond that which was approved at the 1957 regular ses sion. It contains provisions for auto matic income tax increases when ever collections fall to dangerous ly low levels. It also provides for a simplified reporting systtm that would ex empt about one-third of the tax payers from filing returns. These taxpayers would pay only by with holding. The House was in recess Friday and will resume work at 10 a. m. Monday. The Senate held a short Friday session and then quit for me weeKend. Legislative leaders hoDe that the special session, which opened Monday, mignt end by the middle of next week. The tax bill prob ably will end up in a conference committee to compromise the dif ferences between the House and Senate.
