Chorus Girl Burglary
Trial Has 'Hung' Jury
POTTSVILLE, Pa. AP- The
burglary trial of former chorus
girl Lillian Reis ended with a
hung Jury Wednesday night after
the panel was unable to reach a
verdict on prosecution charges
that she plotted a $478,000 theft,
then used some of the money to
purchase a nightclub.
' Judge Charles W. Staudenmeier
dismissed the panel of live worn
en and seven men after it had
reported for the second time it
was hopelessly deadlocked. The
jury, which had heard more than
40 prosecution witnesses and
defense witnesses during the five-
week trial, had deliberated w'i
hours since receiving the case
late Tuesday.
An unimpeachable source said
that on the first ballot the vote
was 6-6; then on the second bal-
lot and at least 18 thereafter the
vote was a steady 7 for convic-
tion and 5 for acquittal. The
source said that all five women
were for convicting her in the
Aug. 7, 1959, burglary at the
home of coal magnate John B
Rich.
Miss Reis, 32, a striking bin
nelte, stood without expression as
she heard the jury foreman, Coraj
Thompson, toll the judge: "There
is no change whatsoever; it is still
the same as before."
Then Staudenmeier, who pre
sided over the trials of three men
convicted in the burglary last
spring, told the jury: "This is
something we regret, that you
are unable to arrive at a verdict
All the court can do for its parti
is to explain the law. The jury
must find the fact. You are dis
charged."
Miss Reis, who was released in
$15,000 bail, told a newsman shel
felt she should have been acquitted.
But, she added, "it's pretty
much of a relief and a step in
the right direction, don't you
think?"
Asst. Dist. Atty. Calvin Fried-
berg, the prosecutor, said that he
assumed Dist. Atty. Kobert Har
ris intends to retry Miss Reis on
the burglary charges.

A.t mid-September the rate was
2.9 per cent, about 6 per cent
less.
The lowest percentage of in

UO Plans"'
To Be Seen
In Klamath
A proposal for a $12,645,000
building program for the Univer
sity of Oregon, to cover the 19B3
65 biennium, will be presented to
the Oregon State Board of Higher
Education at the Oct. 23-24 meet
ing in Klamath Falls.
The proposal, explains Comp
troller H. A. Bork of the state
system offices, will be presented
(along with a list of the needs
of other institutions of the state
system! to the board for the pur
pose of delineating the needs of
the university so that application
can be made by the board for
federal planning funds.
The proposal itself is not to be
presented to the board for ap
proval, Bork said.
The university's building pro
gram, as outlined in the proposal,
Is based on projected enrollment
for 1966. The building statistics an
ticipate a slower rate of enroll
ment increase through 1966 than in
the past four years, when it has
averaged 13 per cent.
The projected increase would
be at the rate of 6 per cent an
nually, which is the national pre
dicted average.
For the past four years the pro
jected enrollment figures for the
university have proved conservative.
On the basis, however, of the
6 per cent annual increase, the
university would have an enroll
ment of around 11,500 in 1966.
The building proposal, as out
lined by Universiy Business Man
ager J. O. Llndstrom, would in
effect move the program ap
proved by the state board in I960,
from the 1965-67 biennium -to the
1963-65 biennium.

Unity Lack
Hurts Work
PORTLAND (AP) - Lack of
unity among Christian churches
has become a serious disadvan
tage in missionary work, a lead
er in the World Council of Church
es said Wednesday.
The statement was made by
Dr. Keith R. Bridston. of the
American Lutheran Church, who
is a former executive secretary
of the Commission on Faith and
Order of the World Council of
Churches.
Bridston spoke to the Faith and
Order Conference, a gathering of
representatives from 18 Protest-
int denominations in the North
west, studying the possibility of
church unity.
The conference, at a camp a
few miles east of Portland, is
one of the first regional confer
ences designed to study the prob
lem of unity at the grass-roots
level of church organization. A
Roman Catholic priest was pres
ent Wednesday as an observer.
The general opinion of Bridston
and other speakers Wednesday
was that unity of organization
was much further away than
unit v of belief.

Finnish President Pays
Hoover 'Debt Of Honor'
NEW YORK (AP)-When Finn
ish President Urho K. Kekkonen
visited Herbert Hoover Wednes
day, he was paying a debt of
honor to a man renowned in Fin
land as that country's savior.
And Finland holds no virtue
higher than payment of its debts
unless, perhaps, it is honor.
Hoover's involvement with the
small Scandinavian country be
gan in November, 1918, less than
two weeks after the Armistice
that ended World War I. The for
mer president, now 87, tells of it
in Volume III of his book, "An
American Epic."
Hoover, then head of the Amer
ican Keliet Administration, was
visited by a Finnish delegation
seeking food to save their rav
aged country from starvation.
The American promised 10.000
tons of emergency supplies, and
the Finns left. But they returned
a few moments later.
"How much will it cost?" they
asked.
"Don't worry about it." said
Hoover. "Arrangements will be
worked out."
"We will pay," said the Finns
resolutely. "Our people will work
and pay.
The Finns kept that promise.
