(IP)--A hot, dry wind from the east fanned a half-dozen forest fires in Oregon today, forcing a halt to logging and hunting In western Oregon. A late heat wave sent the mercury up to 98 degrees in southern Oregon yesterday, where the worst of the fires raged. One spread rapidly over 1000 acres east of the coastal town of Bandon, and another, believed controlled earlier, came to life again. It has burned 900 acres near the coast, 50 miles south of Coos Bay. Inland a 100-acre fire in the Willamette national forest, 18 miles east of Oakridge, delayed a southbound Southern Pacific passenger train three hours yesterday.

"We ought to wipe up the street with these Yankee reporters," a man said. Even after the Negroes left the school, the crowds remained. Teen-agers in two automobiles cruised on the outskirts, before the withdrawal of the students, yelling "Which way did the Negroes go?" During the hours while the Negroes were in the school, a number of white students left. An estimate indicated it would be in the neighborhood of dO to ZO students. One girl, Sylvia Jones, said she signed out and when asked her reason, said simply "integration." The crowd yelled, cheered and clapped each time a white student left the school.

"Don't stay in there with the niggers," people yelled. Women were hysterical. Four Beaten Four Negroes were beaten and some arrests were made before the eight students went into the school, The initial violence outside the school was a frightening sight. On a street leading toward the school, the crowd spotted four Negro adults, marching in twos, down the center of the street. A man yelled, "Look, here come the niggers." They were not the students.

Two Are Jailed on Drilling Count Two men were in the county jail today charged with reckless driving after being stopped on the Valley freeway when a state patrolman saw them racing at 100 miles an hour. State Patrolman John Mittman made the arrests early yesterday morning and had the pair booked. Jailed were Stanley Cowin, 27, W2229 Maxwell, and Gary W. Pierce, 20, E22001 Wellesley.

Mittman said he first noticed the cars on Sprague near the Liberty lake junction. He said they went to Pines road, then onto the freeway where they began racing their cars at "100 miles an hour and better," the officer said. Car Chased A man, distiaught, came sprinting after it. "That's my kid in there," he yelled. "Help me get my kid out." But the car was gone.

Soon afterward, four white students ran down the steps of the school and across the street. 'icemen were chasing them. Meanwhile clusters of troopers-took up stations, reinforcing the police. The crowds headed them, hurling Insults and some obscenity. "How you going to feel tonight when you face your neighbors," man shouted.

The people called the police "nigger lovers" and insulted them. The officers stood, poker-faced, making no move nor response. Then the crowd, lacking any other object, turned on the newspaper men and photographers. A woman buttonholed a reporter and said, "Why don't you tell the truth about us? Why don't you tell them we're peaceful people who, won't stand to have our kids sitting next to niggers?"

Work was slowed by lingering fires in some areas of the mine, the state police said. Trapped by the explosion were nine firemen, a fire boss and a pumper who had gone underground on an inspection tour of the mine which was not scheduled to work today. In 1907, before the mine was acquired by Bethlehem, an explosion killed 130 men there, one of the most serious mine accidents on record In this coal-rich region of extreme southwestern Pennsylvania. Cause of today's blast was not determined immediately. A cage which is used to carry men up and down the vertical shaft was blown out of the opening by the force of the explosion.

Some debris fell on cars in an adjoining parking lot. A few miners showed up at the pit expecting to work. They were not aware that the shift had been canceled. Capt. Frank Garnow of the state police said the rescue workers thought their best chance of reaching the trapped men was through another opening some distance away.

That would depend on conditions the crews find underground, where rock and coal often are dislodged by such explosions. DOGGY DAZE!
