In a letter sent by the district attorney to heads of various or ganizations in the county, Crab tree informed them that lodges, churches, clubs or schools are not exempt from the state's gambling laws and will be prosecuted if they engage in gambling of any kind. Crabtree indicated that any such violations will be treated in the same manner as operators of commercial gambling enterprises and prosecuted accordingly. In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Mishmash in the news: Over near Canyonville, on the other side of the mountains, the other evening, a hitch-hiker was picked up by seemingly kindly motorists. At the first likely looking spot, they pulled off to the side of the highway, beat him severely, and robbed him of his wallet and his suitcase. Quite properly, the item made the front page of the Roseburg News-Review. It was UNUSUAL as is the case when a man bites a dog. Hardly a day pass es when some kindly motor ist fails tn be beaten up and robbed by some wicked hitch hiker whom he has picked up. This time it happened the other way around. Nostalgic thought: Wouldn't it be wonderful if the olden golden days w hen one could UNHESITATINGLY pick up Some stranger who needed a ride and safely carry him on his way could come hack again? What has happened to us, any way? Back in a Westchester eounty suburb of New York City during the Christmas season last year, patrons of an elementary school erected on the school lawn a creche depicting the birth of Je sus in the manger. Sixteen residents of the suburb protested that the creche on the school grounds violated the first amendment to the U.S. Constitu tion. As such, they claimed, it was a violation of the constitutional guarantee of separation of church and stale, as well as the state constitution and the New York education law. So they brought suit tn compel its removal. What happened? Well, fortunately, the case came eventually before a sensible judge who ruled that it was NOT a violation became it was merely a "passive accommodation of reli gion" and no one was FORCED TO LOOK AT IT. M s put it this way: Thank the good Lord for SEN SIBLE judges.

Crabtree added tliere were ru mors that the bingo game, the cake-walk, and the raffle were be ing operated in the county and he charged that his office would "prosecute gambling w herever and whenever it may be found." As an explanation for the crack down, the letter explained, "It may seem that some of these proj ects are harmless and for a good cause. But let us consider that it is in violation of the law. "Can our community-building organizations on the one hand, at tempt to build good citizens of our youth and. on the other hand, give the example of violating the law?" he said further. Crabtree reminded potential vi olalors of the law that following an arrest in a gambling or lot tery case, police officers confis cate all money, prizes and equip ment being used in the game, in addition to arresting all partici pants.

Paul Kliever, Oregon adjutant- general and chief of staff for Gov. Mark Hatfield, died today. Gen. Kliever, 54, head of the state's military department, was hospitalized early last week after suffering a heart attack. Funeral arrangements were pending. He was the third Oregon adju tant general to die in the last 4'j years. Gen. Thomas Rilea died in February of 1959 and Gen. Alfred Hintz died in May of 1902. Hatfield issued a statement praising Kliever as "a natural leader in a quiet, unassuming, ef fective way. His devotion tn his state and nation was an inspira tion." Hatfield was notified of Klievcr's death shortly before boarding a plane for Washington, D.C., where he speaks Thursday night. Kliever was a native of Aber- dcen, Idaho. He moved to Oregon as a youth. Kennedy Trip Loses Nonpolitical Flavor GRAND FORKS, N. D.

New Bridge Will Open This Week The new $861,000 bridge span ning Link River at Main Street and Conger Avenue will be open to traffic for the first time this Thursday or Friday, James J. Gix. resident bridge engineer, told the Herald and News Wednesday. Meanwhile, a portion of Conger Avenue will be closed while con struction workers pave a 300-foot section of the street near the bridge. Although the bridge will he opened tn vehicular traffic, the southbound off ramp leading from the structure into Klamath Falls is still under construction and will not be ready for use until some time next month, Gix said. Traffic approaching from Bend1 may . enter Klamath Falls by crossing the Lint River Bridge, turning right near Riverside Drive, and then continuing north along the present highway. Vehicles northbound to Klam ath Falls from Weed or Ashland do not pass over the bridge; in stead they will flow along the present road into the city. The .contract lor the construe lion project was awarded to the Lillcbo Construction Company of Roseburg last November and was slated for completion next April. The bridge represents the last link in the construction of the Westside bypass which includes an underpass near the OTI site and the overpass spanning Ne vada Street. With the comple tion of both ends of the bypass and the signing of the Nevada Avenue structure, completed at a cost of some $9,316, the State High- way Commission ill have ex- pended in excess of $3 million on 'the construction work. new impetus in electrification de velopment, new starts in our mul- water, timber and wildlife re sources." Tlie "non-political" label ap plied by the White House to Ken nedy's 10.000-mile swing tn the West was becoming somewhat academic.

S. policy interests in Latin America, which has been aimed at encouraging and foster ing Democratic governments. Until 1961 the Dominican Re public was ruled for 30 years by a repressive dictatorship. In May, 1961 dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo was assassinated. Since then, with an aid policy linked to the country's progress toward de mocracy, the United Stales has been attempting to aid the Do- minican Republic toward demo cratic constitutional rule. U. S. officials said that though they so far had only sketchy in formation, the coup did not ap pear at first glance to involve a return of Trujillo interests to pow er. Meanwhile, it was disclosed that Bosch made urgent appeals this morning to several I-atin American presidents in an effort to head off the military coup Officials here reported that Bosch and Mrs. Bosch made tele phone calls to the presidents of Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela and the governor of Puerto Rico before communications were cut off.

JUAN BOSCH 'I Civil Rights DSII J SmfMn Dill wIVCll Little Hope WASHINGTON lUPD-The ad ministration's congressional lieu tenants apparently believe they have little chance of getting a broad civil rights bill to the White House this year. That is the interpretation of Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield's announcement that: debate would begin Thursday on legislation to make the U.S. Civil Rights Commission a permanent government agency. This was seen today as the fore runner to an about-face in previ ous strategy. The congressional leadership bad said it would seek Senate action on House-passed civil rights and lax cut bills, in that order, hefore adjourning. Rut the House is acting on taxes today, while one of its ju diciary subcommittees still is struggling to give firsl-slep ap proval to I lie civil rights meas ure. The civil rights bill is many weeks away from House action: the tax measure will go to the Senate Thursday. ' Without new legislation, the six- year-old Civil Rights Commission must go out of business Nov. 30. The 'President has asked, in the catch-all civil rights hill, for a (our-year extension. Apparently the move to make it iwrmanenl means that no other civil nights measures will arise this session.

State Department press officer Richard I. Phillips said the over throw of Bosch constituted "loss to the countries of the hem isphere including our own." Of ficials said the government of the Dominican Republic, as recog nized by this country, has ceased to exist. SANTO DOMINGO. Dominican Republic ( UPI i The armed forces deposed and arrested President Juan Bosch today in al military coup proclaimed as a blow against the rise of Commu nism in the Dominican Republic. The revolt leaders dissolved parliament, set up a provisional government, otilluwed the new onstitulion which Bosch rammed through the congress last July and outlawed the Communist par ly. Bosch and his entire cabinet were held prisoners in the presi dential palace. A manifesto signed by 26 ranking officers of the army, navy, air force and po lice pledged continued Dominican adherence to international com mitments. The coup leaders included gen erals Antonio Imbert and Luis' Amiama, only survivors of the group of rebels who assassinated cx-dictalor Rafael L. Trujillo to start the Dominican Republic an Us march to democracy after more than three decades of dic tatorship. Following up the manifesto's outlawing of the Communist par ly, police immediately threw a cordon around the headquarters of the pro-Castro 14lh of June party. No Bloodshed Reported The coup was pulled off at 3 a.m. First reports indicated it was carried oul without gunfire or bloodshed. Radio Santo Domingo, (he gov ernment transmitter, told people of the coup in a pro-dawn an nouncement, saying "the corrupt and pro-Communist government of Juan Bosch has been deposed by a coup d'etat. The announcement called for public calm and order and warned citizens against being tricked into violence by Commu nist agitators. All schools were closed by government order. A bulletin broadcast by Radio Santo Domingo invited the oppo sition National Civic Union, Social Democrat Alliance, Dominican Revolutionary Vanguard, Christian Democrat Progressive parties to choose a provisional government. It said the leaders of the par- tics named had accepted the in vitation and met Immediately tn draft a government. The coup came just 24 hours aflcr apparent collapse of an anti Communist general strike called by opponents of Bosch. The coup also coincided with new ten.-ions between Haiti and the Dominican Republic over bor der incidents. The Bosch regime earlier this week had protested to the Organization of American states against alleged Haitian "aggression," only to admit later the Haitian fire directed against Dominican soil was being direct- jed against guerrilla forces. Gunfire Near Frontier As late as this morning, heavy fire was still being heard around Dajahon, nn the Hailian-Domini can frontier, where Haitian Iroops apparently had a rebel group pinned down and seeking to pre vent its escape across the fron tier into the Dominican Republic In outlawing the present con stitutinn, the junta returned tn the constitution of l2 as the basic law of the land. This is the constitution which was in effect before Bosch was chosen in early 12 as the Domincan Republic's llrst freely-elected president In more lhan 30 years. He took of lice Feb. 27, im.

' Demos Confident On Tax Cut Vote WASHINGTON (UPI - Confi dent of victory, administration forces pressed for House passage toaay ot an 511 billion tax cut, biggest in history. As the showdown votes ap proached, tlie tide was running against Republican leaders in their attempt to attach an anti- spending amendment to the tax cutting bill or defeat it on final passage. Republican forces charged that It would be fiscally irresponsible lor congress to approve Presi dent Kennedy's plea for tax cutsl without imposing specific spend ing curbs on him. R e p I y i n g to this argument Rep. Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., told the House Tuesday in almost so many words that enactment of the tax cut would make it hard er for Kennedy to win congres sional approval of new spending lrograms. Appeals To Conservatives Mills, who heads the tax-writ ing House Ways & Means Com mittee, called for conservative upport of the bill on the ground that it represented "a step away Horn big central government Unless high taxes are reduced to let private enterprise solve un- f.mP1yme Pl, Mills said. others will find an answer for it by increasing spending." House GOP Leader Charles Halleck, Inc., said that if admin istration forces succeeded In de feating ' the Republican amend ment, tlie bill's chances of final passage "will be in very serious, Jeopard y. But few members. took that seriously. Rep. Thomas B. Curtis, R-Mo. told the House he could find no fault with Mills' argument that the nation must choose between the road of increased spending. and the road o( reduced taxes. Curtis said, however, that the President and his advisers want to "travel both roads at the same time." Attaches Condition The GOP amendment would prohibit tlie tax cut unless the President in his budget message next January showed spending es timates of no more than $97 bil lion for the current fiscal year and $',13 billion for the next year. With House floor amendments barred except for the one pro posed by GOP leaders, the 312- Disarmament Treaty Not In Near Future WASHINGTON (UPI I - Sen. J. W i 1 1 i a m Fulbright. D-Ark.. said today it might take "two or three years" to develop any ma jor new agreements with Russia as a sequel to the nuclear test ban treaty. The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, pleased with the 80-90 Senate vote approving the nuclear pact, emphasized that an early follow up disarmament negotiations with the Soviet Union were unlikely. Fulbright said that tlie treaty, which bans nuclear tests in the atmosphere, out in space and underwater, really was a "second step" toward peace with Russia rather than a "first step" as ad vcrtised. "Our ratification of the Antarc tic Treaty with Russia was the 'lust step,' he told a reporter. "It wasn't considered significant at tlie time, but it has worked so far. And it had 21 votes against U in tlie Senate." The vote on tlie Antarctic pact on Aug. 10, 1900, was 68-21, with 13 Denature not voting. Eleven of the 21 who voted against it also voted against the test ban treaty Tuesday. But five who opposed the Anlartic Treaty voted for the (est ban pact.

President Kennedy called the lest ban treaty a "small but sig nificant" step toward peace. The President congratulated the Senate for Its action and par ticularly commended "the pains taking work" of both Democratic and Republican leaders "in bring ing the treaty to litis highly sat isfactory vote." ; When the Senate voted, 102 na tions had signed the pact agreed on by the United Slates, Britain and Russia last summer. Red China and France, which aspire to their own nuclear forces, have indicated they will not sign it.
