2 The News-Review, Hoseburg, Or. Monday, July 23, 1981 By PAUL JENKINS I lake many pictures in the course of a day, or a week or a year, and, at more or less frequent in tervals, I will either botch one or fail entirely to get it; usually be cause I've fotgottcn to do some one or other of the many things one has to do with the complicated camera equipment newspaper pho tographers work with. However, like the doctor in the old saw, I bury my mistakes, and lie out of them as best I may. "The negative was a dandy," I'll tell one person, "but so help me, while I was holding it up admiring it, it slipped from my fingers and fell into a vat of acid." To an other I'll say, "Boy, I got a dandy of you, technically that is, but your eyes were closed. You really looked so all wrong I thought it better to throw the negative away!" Usually I get' away with all this nonsense, although Im sure none of my victims believes me. A pho tographer has to develop a certain philosophy to cover the missing of pictures be thought he bad in the bag, because it's going to happen occasionally whether he likes it or not. I could miss getting the as eassination of a president, let us say (not just ANY president, of course) and think nothing of It, perhaps; but to miss a group of little kids, all prettied up for the occasion and smiling so nicely and confidently at me, aS'I had the mis fortune to do at a birthday party on Eddy street recently, really burns me. In such a case only the exercise of a supreme effort on a will power weak at best, restrains me from throwing my camera on the floor and leaping upon it. As if it were the camera's fault!

Death Claims Bey After Surviving Heart Stoppage PORT COLBORNE, Ont. -VP) A five-year-old boy who was brought back to life Wednesday after his heart had stopped beat ing for four minutes died in hospital Thursday.

FBI Begins Hunt For Girl's Killer WASHINGTON m - The FBI has poslod nationwide "wanted" notices for Frank Waller Kristy of Downey, Calif., soupffit on charges of kidnaping and killing his 20-vcar-old stepdaughter. The bureau said Kristy, 48-year-old painter and electrical repair man, had been traced through Ne vada to Fort Douglas, Utah. Then he dropped out of sight. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said the fugitive is believed to be hitch hiking across the country and issued a special warning to mo torists against, picking up anyone resembling Kristy. Hoover said "he is considered extremely dangerous and he is nown to be armed." Kristy's stepdaughter, Betty Jean Hansen, was kidnapped from their home at Downey, July 5. Her automobile was found later abandoned at Las Vegas, Nev., and picnickers (J). Newhall, Calif., found the slain girl's body there on July 13. Hoover said Kristy had been pos itively identified as having been in Fort Douglas on July 14, seeking work on a construction job. Shrunken Flume Lets Sediment Spoil Fishing Umpqua River fishermen are very unhappy about continued tur bidity in the north fork. But the unhappiness of anglers doesn't fca gin to compare with that of Phil Humphries, superintendent of Cop co's Toketee project. Humphries reported, in a com bination telephone-radio conversa tion with a News-Review repre sentative today, that a 2200-foot section of wooden flume appar ently has been saved in a touch-and-go-fight, continuing since last Wednesday. During the interven ing period more than 33,000 gal lons of water per minute have been washing away pumice banks on which the flume rests. The wooden flume leads from Toketee powerhouse to the Slide creek penstock. While the Slide creek unit was out of service, due to a breakdown of the generator during test runs, the flume be came drv. When water was turned into it last Wednesday, the staves had shrunk enough to permit es capement of 75 second feet of water, or approximately 33,750 gal lons per minute. Water spurting from the flume threatened to wash away supporting foundations, and crews have been fighting con stantly to reinforce the structure. But tons of sediment were washed into the river to spoil fishing. Humohries report; that the leaks have diminished as staves became swollen through water absorption, and that the fight appears to be nvon. Water was reported clearing l lUKeiee luuay.

ROSEBURG, OREGON PHONE 3-5553 R. L. Elfstrom Next Liquor Body Head, Paper Says PORTLAND P) The Oregon Journal says mat KODori L. Elf strom of Salem was lined up to become chairman of the Oregon State liquor commission, and Port land- City Commissioner Fred Peterson would become adminis trator.

The President went on: "The main danger to world peace comes from the Soviet rul ers, from the growing military force at their disposal, and from Ihcir proved willingness to use ag gression to gain their ends. "The military build-up of t h e Soviet union, wnicn nas Deen con tinuing since 1945, has no other purpose than to blackmail the free world into submission to uommu nist domination. "Or. if 'the free world lacks strength or determination to pre- vent it, the purpose is to overrun Us members one oy one, "This is the central threat to our country, and to every free country in the world.

UP) The Missis sippi crest, made up of the mid west's most costly flood waters, churned southward from St. Louis today and was expected to spend itself between the massive dikes lining the big river. A few spots still are in danger, but the army engineers are confi dent nearly all ol tne major lev ees downstream from St. Louis will hold. Except for the immediate river front section, St. Louis is on high ground out of reach of the flood. Thirty-six miles of huge earthen barriers protecting the heavily pop ulated area across from M. Louis in Illinois were pronounced i n good condition. The peak of the flood rolled by St. Louis Sunday when the river went to its highest stage in 107 years. The loss at St. Louis has been estimated at $4,000,000 less than half that of the flood four years ago when industries in the vul nerable area had less warning. By far the greatest part of the damage in the midwest floods variously estimated at from $850, 000,000 to $1,000,000,000 was in eastern Kansas and western Mis souri along the Kansas and Mis souri rivers.
