The Juvenile court In St. Louis, Mb., plans to sponsor a demon stration group probation program which jurists call an alternative to imprisoning delinquents who are unsuccessful on probation. In this program, the boys re main on probation provided they attend daily afternoon classes in a school in the delinquency tar get area. The school system will provide a teacher trained In special odu-j ration, a vocational teacher, equipment and supplies. The court will provide a group worker. The minimum period of assignment will be 12 weeks, but this can be extended.

Rusk responded promptly al most eagerly to a "polite re quest from the Senate internal security subcommittee to appear soon to answer questions raised about departmental policies. A Stale Department spokesman said that Rusk "has been hope ful for some time that, this mat ter would be raised at the level it demands, namely his personal appearance before the committee as the official responsible for the operation of the Department of State, including its security pro gram.

Miller indicated that a geologic brochure of the Diamond Lake Area will be published early in 1DK4 and will be available to the public. Through this and other means, the multiple-use objectives will be realized in managing our national forest heritage. Supervisor Miller, through the University of Oregon Geology Department, brought Dr. William B. Purdom to the forest this sum mer to map and prepare a report designed to interpret happenings of the past which have produced aware of the secretary's desire to discuss these procedures with the committee, and he will avail him self of the opportunity in the near future. At issue is the State Depart ment's recent action in filing charges against its chief security cvaluator, Otto F. Otepka. The de partment is investigating whether Otepka gave classified informa tion to the subcommittee without authority. Sen. Thomas J. Dodd. D-Conn., vice chairman of the internal se curity subcommittee, went to New York Wednesday to discuss the Otepka case with Rusk. He said he made a "polite request, not a Now you can...

In 1936, he received the bachelor of science degree from the Univer sity of Kentucky, and in 1960, earned his Ph.D. from the Uni versity of Arizona. His experi ence includes geology work in Cuba, northern Alaska, and Ven zuela. . From VMM to 1962. he was as sistant professor- of geology at the University of Oregon then was employed as geologist for the Bureau of Land Management in Nevada, before coming to the demand" that Rusk appear at a hearing and that other department witnesses testify. Rusk agreed to meet with the subcommittee at a "mutually ar ranged convenient date." The department has said the charges, which could result in Otepka's dismissal, involved un authorized declassification of se curity matters relating to other department employes. In one case, Otepka was accused of hav ing provided the subcommittee's chief counsel, J. G. Sourwine, with questions to ask his own chief, John F.

TOY Umpqua National Forest this summer. He returns to his teach ing post at the University of Ore gon this fall. Dr. Purdom's report indicates the oldest exposed rocks in the Diamond Lake Area to be be tween 12 million and 60 million years old. These lavas are most ly covered by the High Cascades lavas, represented by such peaks as Mt. Thielsen and Mt. Bailey On both of these peaks, the per severing climber is rewarded with outstanding exposures of the stormy volcanic activity which occurred between one and 12 mil lion years ago. About 6.600 years ago, Dr. pur dom's report continues, a "glow ing avalanche" of pumice from Ml. Mazama rushed down across Diamond Lake, moving at speeds sometimes in excess of 100 m.p.h. The avalanche snapped off trees like matchsticks, engulfing them in the flow. From the glacier-carved slopes of Mt. Thielsen to the columnar jointing in the North Umpqua Canyon, Purdom's report reveals a fascinating history told in the rocks. Unique geologic forms, such as pumice that floats, columnar jointing ' resembling posts stacked on end i, volcanic bombs 'molten lava solidified in football - like shapes), and charcoalized logs arc common throughout the area. Forest visitors are invited to ask for information on the location of these phenomena. Campers who intend to make Diamond Lake their main head quarters while making side trips to these natural phenomenon next summer will find that all roads have been paved into the camp ground Last summer's campers w ill re member the severe dust .problem created by the almost constant traffic. At times, this condition caused considerable discomfort to the recreationist. The present project will eliminate this prob lem. With the campground nearly empty at this time of year, work is progressing rapidly and the -en tire job should be completed by Oct. 7.

Main Diamond and boat-launch parking aieasi will have a hard surface. During the past few years pub lic usage of the Diamond Lake Recreation Area has increased notably. From 1956 through 1961 the number of campers increased from 30.000 to 97,000. In 1962 the usage dropped to 53,500 and then soared to an estimated 100.000 in 1963. It has been estimated that usaga will reach 264,500 by 1975. Larry .Thorpe, recreation staff assistant of the Umpqua National Forest has disclosed that a $33, 000 campground - improvement project was undertaken last fall. Part of a long-range rehabitation program, the project included construction of roads and camp sites in overflow areas, graveling all roads in preparation for pav ing, and installation of- approxi mately two miles of traffic guards. During the early part of this summer, tables, stoves, rest rooms and an additional 13,000 feet of traffic guards completed this project. . ANNOUNCES DISCOVERY DAR-ES-SALAAM, Tanganyika, i UPU British anthropologist Dr. L. S. B. Leakey reports he has discovered that two appar ently different races of early man lived together. Leakey, who earned internal ion al recognition for his discovery of the Zinjanthropus. one of the earliest known species of man. said he uncovered remains of an other race living in the same lo cation. He named the new discov ery the Pre Zin Man. The fossilized remains were found in Olduval Gorbe where Leakey has been excavating for 20 years. Dryer Shopping?

This gives the sites opportunity to "rest." and the tender mountain grasses a chance to grow. How ever, Diamond Lake Camp ground was used to approximate ly 85 per cent capacity through out the season, placing a heavy load on all facilities, including roads. To alleviate this situation, more campgrounds are in the planning stage. Clearing for one such campground Broken Arrow was completed this summer. Thorpe requests the cooperation of the public in observing speed regulations in the Diamond Lake Campground. New signs will be installed permitting 20 m.p.h. on main roads and 10 m.p.h. on spur roads. It is essential that these limits be observed to pro tect the many children in the area. On weekends, there may be 1,500 to 2.000 people in the camp ground, Thorpe said. With such a large number of people, reduced speed is essential, he stated.
