THURSDAY. JANUARY 8. 1959 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 1 B Boss Scares Bank Toilers NEW YORK (AP) - When the boss yells, everybody jumps stands at attention or, as in this case, lies down. Augustus C. Froeb. senior trus tee of the Marlboro branch of the Lincoln Savings Bank of Brooklyn 75, but still sprightly sailed Into the bank Wednesday and yelled: "Kverybody lis down on the floor!" So everybody all eight em ployes and four customers lay down on the floor. Charles Ropnolo, 40, chief clerk sounded a burglar alarm. He didn't recognize Froeb, who was wearing dark glasses. Two weeks ago four gunmen had robbed the bank of $72,000 and employes were still jittery. As the alarm sounded, bank guard Frank Friel whipped out his revolver, three detectives in the bank vicinity dashed in, and cops came swarming into the place. By that time Paul McGuirk, the bank manager, recognized the boss and bellowed, "It's all right. It's Mr. Froeb, the trustee. He's okay." The gun in Friel's hand wob bled. "My God, it's the boss," he muttered. The police were stern with Froeb. Det. Sam Botwinick told him: "You're lucky you didn't get hurt." Froeh was apologetic. "I'm sor ry," he said. "I did it to see if everyone was alert." GLAMOR GIRLS Iff x If Residents Of Ashland Donate $8 Per Capita To Keep Festival C ISM. K!"f FiK'jna Synd!tw. let. Wot id rl hu "Will you bring me a towel or shall I drip-dry with the rest of this stuff?" ASHLAND (API-The people of Ashland, who once spoke with amused tolerance of playactors in their midst as "the Shake speares," in recent weeks have pungled up more than $71,000 to keep them here. That is more than $8 per capi ta, a surprising total in any cause. It is almost 50 per cent more than anyone expected. But it isn't enough, and the next few weeks are expected to deter mine whether the Oregon Shake spearean Festival A.ssn. gets the sum it needs lo build its thza bcthan theater (or the 1959 sea n. There seems to be no one who doubts its success. The old theater, condemned a lire hazard, has -been torn down. Construction of the new one will need to start soon if it is to be ready for June rehearsals. If it Isn't, the Shakespcares won't be around. They've been here for a long time.

Sea- ton announced Wednesday trust restrictions on allotted Indian lands, scheduled to expire this year, have been extended for five years. The extension applied both to allotted lands held by individual Indians and to 'the few tribes and groups which did not take advan tage of trust extension provisions of the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act. Seaton said the action reem phasizes the department's policy of taking all precautions against ending federal supervision over Indians before they are compe tent to end their status as federal wards. D'Autremont Set For Parole SALEM (AP) One of three brothers, convicted for murder in a 1923 Southern Oregon train rob bery in which four men were killed, will be paroled Friday morning from the Oregon State Penitentiary. Hugh D'Autremont, convicted for the Southern Pacific holdup along with brothers Ray and Koy, will be freed after 31 years in prison. The brothers remain be hind bars. H. G. Randall, state parole di rector, said D Autremont, an ex perienced printer, has several job offers outside Oregon. WASHINGTON (AP) Thei United States has told its main European allies that Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan ap pears to be fishing for a four power conference on Germany sometime this spring. But the State Department has cautioned that Mikoyan has put forward nothing new which prom ises successful negotiation. The fast-talking Kremlin No. 2 man, now touring tne Midwest, is understood to have rehashed the standard Moscow line on Germany v but with a coating of sweet talk to tempi me nest. Mikoyan may lay something new on President Eisenhower's White House desk when he returns Jan. 19 for a meeting with the President, a Soviet source in Berlin has said. But few adminis tration officials see any hopeful signs in this. The main points of a summary of Mikoyan's confidential talks with Secretary of State Dulles and Vice President Nixon have been given to ambassadors of Britain, France, Italy, and West Germany These were: 1. The Soviet plan to turn East Berlin over to the East German Red puppet regime by June should not be viewed as a six-month ultimatum. Mikoyan hinted this could be extended. 2. The Soviet Union could no interested in four-power talks this spring on a German peace treaty as well as the future of Berlin. Rut this was coiiDled with a reiter ation of the Kremlin view that reunification should be left to the East and West Germans to work out for themselves. 3. Veto power for the Soviets is a firm condition to Kremlin ac ceptance of an East-West organi zation that would seek to enforce a ban on atomic-hydrogen weap ons tests. 4. The Soviet's much ballyhooed campaign for more American trade has played a minor role in .Mikoyan s Washington talks. He may make more of this, however. when he returns from sounding out American industrialists on his flying visit to major American cities. Authorities familiar with Miko yan's comments said he sought to picture the Kremlin as in a nego- Hating mood. But every lime Dulles or Nixon sought to pin him down, he answered in vague generalities. State Department officials said a Big Four foreign ministers meet ing on Germany might be held this spring even though Miko yan has put forward nothing new at this time. The Kremlin con ceivably could be saving some concession for the meeting itself they said, but they are not opti mistic about this. NO ROBBERY SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) Two youths drove up to a service sta tion in suburban Renton and pulled a pistol on attendant Roy Wendt. "1 haven't any money." Wendt said. "Okay," answered one would-be robber. "Fill up the tank, then." Wendt did: $3.35 worth. The rohbers drove off but not until they received their change for a $5 bill one of them handed Wendt. have come to Ashland because Angus L. Buwnier of the Southern Oregon College drama depart ment decided that modern audi ences could be pleased by Shake speare's plays produced in the Elizabethan manner. At first the actors were local people. Then Bowmer's dream be gan to unfold. More and more those whom the townspeople called Shakespeares turned out to be drama sludenls from the Univer sity of Texas or speech students from Urbana, 111., or English teachers from Orange, N. J. .Men and women came last year from 14 states to make up the company. Some were students some were professionals, r.nd all were enthusiasts about the thea tcr and about Shakespeare. And as these Shakespeare! roamed through the town they were joined by another group of sludenls, those who had registeren in that adjunct of the festival the Institute of Renaissance Stud iesa field course in the arts for college credit, offered by both Stanford University and Southern Oregon College. Ashland is getting help in its effort to raise money for the new theater to keep these people com ing back year after year. It needs a lot of help, because the theater is going to cost $275,000. Some of the help is coming from people in other states who have attended the festival. Some is coming from organized cam paigns in other Oregon cities. And some is coming from the efforts of such people as actress Ginger Rogers, whose, summer home is on the nearby Hogue liiver, and novelist Kathleen Norris of San Francisco, both of whom are chairmen of fund-raising in their areas. Of the $275,000 needed, $231,977 now in hand. Nearbv Medlord. which regards the festival as nearly its own. has contributed $73.4t7. That edges in total hut not per capita the $71,379 donated hy Ashland resi dents. The original quota was $50. (KHi for Ashland. For Medlord, it was $100,000. Some $10,000 has come hy mail dollar bills and larger sums. much of il (mm distant points. That is not surprising. Seventy- three per cent of the festival at tendance is made up of people who have to spend at least one night away from home in making the visit here. All ages are represented. A lit tle boy brought in a dime. The people at Grants Pass have given $3,005. Pomanders have contributed $3,156. Donations from San Francisco total $2,809; from Eugene $1,527: from Salem $481. There still remains $43,000 to he raised and time is running out. There was some shock locally when the goal was set at $275 -0(10. The audience sits out-of-doors in a natural bowl in Lithia Park. The theater which is to be built will looV to the audience to be little more than a stage. But I w ill be an authentic Elizabethan stage. Costly lighting will be re quired for the proper ellects.

Last year was the 18th lor the festival. Its plavs that year at tracted an attendance of 29,585. The 1958 plays completed the fos tival's production of the entire list of Shakespeare's works. There is no other theater just like it in the West. There are few- like it in the world. With the final money help expected to come in the next few weeks, the festival association will be ready on July 28 to open its six-week 1959 sea son. Its first-night performance will be "The Life and Death of King John." with which the fes tival will be starting once again the full cycle of Shakespeare'! English history.
