Newspaper Page TextPAGE JA HERALD AND Insured Unemployment Rate Declines Steadily In Area The rate of insured unem ployment has decreased con siderably in (he past several years but figure for the week ending Dec, .12 show that Ore gon's average is slightly above the U.S. Leonard Sytsma, manager of the Klamath Falls state employ ment office, told the Herald and News that the local rate of insured unemployment was S.2 per cent. This means that of the persons covered by unero ployment Insurance, 5.2 per cent are not presently work' ing. The rate for the state of Oregon is four per cent and for the United States, 3.6. The news is heartening for Klamath Falls nevertheless hytsma explained that a year . afro at this time the Klamath ; Falls rate was 6.3, It Mas 8.4 in lOfll and 12.0 in ,1360 which indicates unemployment here has been reduced considerably in (he last several years. This is how other communities here In Oregon compared the week ending Dec. 12, 1963, com pared with 1962 so far as insur able unemployment figures are concerned: 1963 1962 Medford 6.7 8 0 Portland 3.1 3.4 : Bend 4 8 6.7 Eugene 4.3 5.1 i Corvallis 3.0 3.9 j Sytsma pointed out that an J accurate estimate of the total , t r..- iU. Falls area as of August, 1963, the most recent period calcu lated, was 17,400. Of that num ber 16,560 were employed. Sytsma explained that the figures do not cover agricultur al workers and repeated that they concern only those persons covered by tuiemployment in surance. Jle also added that Corvallis carried the lowest tuiemploy ment in the state, a figure that ' relates closely to the fact it is : a college town and that a ', large majority of its population '. is employed by Oregon State "University which in turn cf- feots other employment in the community.

The present 5.2 rate of insured unemployment here reflects the Four National Guardsmen Arrested On Bomb Counts TUSCALOOSA. Ala. (UP1I Police arrested four National Guardsmen Thursday on charg es of setting off explosives near the integrated University of Ala bama last month while serving Judge Rules Against TV During Trial DALLAS UPf News cover age of the Jack Ruby murder trial will be restricted to the pencil and paper journalists television is barred. State Dist. Judge Joe B. Brown ruled Thursday that all photography and broadcast in struments would be banned from the courtroom. Millions witnessed on live television the slaying of President Kennedy's accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald by Ruby on Nov. 24. Photography and broadcast coverage also were barred from Monday's scheduled hearing on whether Ruby should be freed on bond. Mclvin Belli, the "King of Torts" from San Francisco, was expected to join six other de fense lawyers today to plot strategy for that hearing. Tom Howard, local attorney for Ruby, said there was a "good chance" the defense would seek a delay in the Feb. 3 trial. He said Belli was sched uled to present a case Jan. 27 in New York, and It may conflict with the opening of Ruby's trial. Dist. Atty. Henry Wade, wary of charges of "trying the case in newspapers, declined to comment on the case. He said earlier he would seek death in the electric chair for Ruby. Howard said "this Isn't a death penalty case." He said the defense plea for a writ of habeas corpus would charge that Ruby, 62, was held illegal. Wade said the murder with malice charge was not bonda ble under the laws of Texas, because the death penalty was a possible punishment. Sheriff Bill Decker was asked if special guards would be pro vided for Ruby during the trial and while making the 19-step movement from jail to Brown's courtroom. "I can't tell you that," Deck er said. Wade and Decker met Thurs day for a short while, but neith er would discuss their conver sation. It heightened beliefs that maximum security measures would prevail.

Authorities said a fifth Guards man would be taken into cus- today today 'probably in the afternoon). He was not arrest ed Thursday because of illness in his family. Officers across central Alaba ma picked up 2nd Lt. James T. Perkins of Hotl, IstSgt. Norman R. Daniel of Fairfield and Sgts. James T. iMaxwell of Tus caloosa and William K. Hough ton of Landale to climax an "around-the-clock" investigation that began last Saturday. Several hours before the ar rests, Circuit Solicitor Fred Ni col had said "we think we have the case solved" and indicated the arrests would be "startling" because of the persons involved. The men were members of a special task force assigned to the university to prevent any disturbances in connection with the presence of Negro student Vivian ftlalone, admitted under federal court order last June along with another Negro who dropped out of school the fol lowing month. President Kennedy had feder alized the Alabama National Guard after Gov. George Wal lace came to the campus and blocked the admission of the Negroes. Wallace withdrew with the appearance of the Guards men. One of the three explosions, each caused by about a half stick of dynamite, occurred less than a block from (Miss Rla lone's dormitory. A second ex plosion the same day, Nov. 16, went off in a Negro section of the city a few blocks from the campus, and the final blast on Nov. 19 occurred two blocks from Hie campus. No one was hurt in the explosions but win dows in several buildings were shattered. The Guardsmen were re leased from federal duty late last month deespite the explo sions which at the time were be lieved to have been student pranks. The charges against t h e Guaitfsmen will be presented to the Tuscaloosa County grand jury at its next session Jan. 7. Perkins and Maxwell, each re leased under $5,000 bond, were charged with "setting off or ex ploding dynamite." Daniel, a for mer Birgmingham city police man and an ex-Marine, and Houghton were to be charged later. Weather Temperatures during t h e 24 hours ending at 4 a m. PST today. High Low Pep.

FOR OMEGA WATCHES TU 4.4606 Wauh for Utritmt of From Pol if Giant War FRANKFURT. Germany (UPI i West Germany put 22 men on trial today for running the greatest mass murder fac tory in history and the defend ant began making excuses. '"When I was sent to Ausch witz in 1942 I did not know it was an extermination camp," said Torbcrt Mulka, the 68-year-old assistant commandant of the Nazi death mill where an esti mated 2 5 to 4 million persons perished. "I only joined the (Nazi elite' SS because J had no job and I was detailed to an extermina tion camp only because a knee injury kept me from service at the front," said Karl Hoecker, a 51-year-old former assistant Auschwitz commandant accused with Mulka of making sure the mass gas chambers worked smoothly. Wilhelm Boger, tlie 56-year-old former first sergeant of the Gestapo guard and the alleged inventor of special torture de vices, told the hushed court, 'I still remember my SS number." "It was 2779. I'm not very proud of it, but it was some thing special," he said, nerv ously rubbing his shabby blue suit. Their words came as the de- Profecffon Given Pair PORTLAND (UPI' A visit ing civil rights worker and a Portland minister were placed under police protection Thursday after two threatening telephone calls. The protection was extended to Bruce Gordon of New York, field secretary of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Com. mittee (SNCC), and Rev. Ralph Moore, pastor of the Highland Congregational Church and head of a group called Portland Friends of SNCC. Mrs. Moore said she received a call Thursday in which a man said Gordon would "leave Port land in a pine box" unless he got out of town within 24 hours. The caller telephoned back later to confirm the threat. Rev. Moore said he had re ceived crank calls and letters ever since he came to Portland three years ago, "but I took this call seriously because the man threatened murder and be cause recent events have shown there are unbalanced persons who could carry out such a threat." Johnson Urged To Both Sign, Veto Lumber BUI WASHINGTON (UPI) -President Johnson was urged today both to sign and to veto a bill requiring the labeling of import ed lumber to show the country of origin. A veto was urged editorially by the Washington Post, which said the "clear purport" of the legislation was to erect new bar riers against imports. However, Rep. Jack Westland, R-Wash., sent Johnson a tele gram urging him to sign the measure to help the domestic lumber industry compete with Canadian producers. . Tlie editorial urging a veto said lumber marking provisions of the bill were the "handiwork" of Sen. Warren G. Magnuson.

In coming weeks the greatest war crimes trial in post-occupation German history is expected to last six or eight months the court will hear evidence pin ning down the almost endless list of charges. One defendant, Dr. Franz Lucas, 52, an Auschwitz camp doctor, was ill and unable to at tend the opening session. Setting his case aside for the moment, the judges ordered Lucas to show up Dec. 30, when he would rejoin his comrades for the sec ond scheduled trial session. Court officials said Lucas would not be tried separately from the other defendants. Only Oswald Kaduk accused of enjoying breaking inmates' necks with a pick showed something of an old habit. He stood ramrod straight and clicked his heels when t h e black-robed chief judge called his name. The defendants the doctors who allegedly selected inmates for slave labor or death, the dentists who made sure all gold was yanked from victims teeth, the clerk who kept a rising death count, the Gestapo man who allegedly drowned a priest by holding his head in a bucket of water, the SS men who al- I legedly made "research experi ments" on female prisoners sat mutely in the city hall cham ber used as a courtroom. Franz Hofmann, accused of forcing naked prisoners to stand in snow until they froze, hid his face behind a copy of the in dictment, which is four times the length of the Bible. Emil Hantl, accused of help ing o)crale the gas chambers that killed thousands of per sons every day from 1942 until 1944, fidgeted with his fingers. The trial, biggest since the Allied occupation courts fin ished their work with major Nazi offenders, may be one of the longest since the war. The defendants, who ranged in a g e from 42 to 68, stand accused of dozens of specific crimes. About 250 witnesses from the United States, Israel, Poland, Austria, and 11 other countries have been called in the trial, which is expected to last six to eight months. About 120 newsmen from both sides of the Iron Curtain have been issued courtroom passes. The trial is so large that it had to be moved to the council rooms of the Frankfurt City Hall.

It would withdraw an exemption from such marking requirements ex tended to Canadian lumber in 1948. Pacific Northwest lumbermen have complained that they are losing U.S. East Coast markets to British Columbia. Their chief complaint has been that the Ca nadians can ship lumber to the U.S. coast aboard lower-cost for eign ships, while U.S. shippers must use higher-cost American flag vessels.
