Em mons, commissioner for Indian affairs, here yesterday at a hear ing on the proposed termina tion of federal control over the Klamath Indians, told opposite stories about what termination would mean. Members of the tribe differed sharply in their views. Some urged immediate termination of federal control while others call ed for a slow-down in the sched ule. The meeting resulted from a directive issued by Interior Sec retary Fred A. Seaton last month that the termination program be reviewed and "appropriate am endments" be prepared for pre sentation to congress. Wade Crawford, tribal mem ber and former superintendent Of the Klamalh Indian agency, charged that there has been too much interference n Klamath Indian affairs by outside sources. Crawford is a supporter of carrying out the termination act without delay and granting to each adult tribal member the choice of whether to withdraw and sell his property or to stay within the tribe. Boyd Jackson, treasurer of the tribal council, differed sharp ly with the views expressed by Crawford. "We have now come to the crossroads, when it is neces sary for us to have a stop-gap amendment so we can have more time to work out a solution," he said. Band of Tornadoes Rip Midwestern Area Br UNITED PRESS A band of tornadoes dropped from the skies and punched away at the nation's breadbasket Monday. The twisters were set off when a mass of frosty air stumbled into a hot air belt. A frontier of thunderstorms was st up from the Dakotas south ward into Kansas and Nebraska and into Western Texas. As the front moved eastward Monday night, severe weather bellowed over most of the Midwest.

DeJarnett started work at the Medford post office July 16, 1919, shortly after his discharge from the army where he served two years, most of it overseas. George P. (Colonel) Mims was postmaster when he started work as a substitute postal clerk. He was a substitute clerk until Oct., 1919, when he became a regular clerk. On April 1, 1940, he was named special clerk, and on Sept. 16, 1942, he was named superintendent of mails, a posi tion he held until Aug. 1., 1954, when he was named assistant postmaster when Hugo Guen ther retired. DeJarnett has served under four postmasters, Mims, William J. Warner, Frank DeSouza and the present postmaster Moore Hamilton. At the time he entered the service, the Medford office em ployed five clerks, four city car riers and four rural carriers. The post office had been at its present location about two years. DeJarnett has no fears about being bored after his retirement, because he has developed an in terest in rock and gem cutting, and has his own cutting and fin ishing shop at his home. "I'll find plenty to do," De Jarnett said. "I never .did get all the duck hunting I wanted, and my rock shop will give me all the work I want. I m going to enjoy every hour oft it." DeJarnett also said he was es pecially going to enjoy this Christmas season, as it will be the first one for 37 years that he hasn t had to battle stacks of late mail in an effort to get it de livered by Christmas day. DeJarnett lives with his wife, Pearl, and stepsons, Harvey and Charles Kanhel, at 618 West Jackson st. Several promotions were an nounced by the postmaster, to be effective Nov. 1. Earl H. York, presently super intendent of mails, will advance to assistant postmaster. York entered the postal service Oct. 1. 1919. He was superintendent of the Camp White branch dur ing World War II. and has served in all capacities in the office. Stanley G. Sherwood, present ly assistant superintendent of mails, will replace York as su perintendent. Sherwood has been with the Medfora post office since July 1, 1920, except for a period from Sept. 1942, until April, 1945, when he was in the Navy during World War II. Richard Singler, presently a foreman, will replace Sherwood as assistant superintendent. Sing ler has been employed at the Question of Bicylce Status Under Study Corvallis (U.R) Benton Coun ty Circuit Judge Fred McHenry yesterday took under advise ment legal arguments over the question whether a bicycle is a vehicle under Oregon statutes. Arguments were submitted over a demurrer to an indict ment against Paul E. Lowe, star tailback on the Oregon State College football team. He is ac cused of toting and using a bicycle without permission of the owner. Lowe's attorney, Karl T. Hus ton, argued that a bicycle is not considered a vehicle under Ore gon law and he contended that the charge was unjust since the lesser charge of stealing a bi cycle would be only a mis demeanor. District Attorney Sid Lewis argued that a 1911 law includes bicycles under the definition of a vehicle. 1 Medford Dost office since Mav of 1924, and has served at various times as carrier, clerk, and the finance room.

I Excitement of Horror Film Blamed for Death of Boy Chicago (U.R) A pair of Hollywood horror films may have been responsible for the death of a 9-year-old boy suffer ing from an unsuspected heart condition, medical authorities in dicated today. Stewart Cohan, of suburban Oak Park, collapsed and died Sunday while watching the open ing moments of "The Creeping Unknown." The first half of the double-horror feature, "T h e Black- Sheep" portrayed the doings of a mad surgeon. Heart Not Healthy Dr. Albert Baugher, Cook county coroner's pathologist, told an inquest Monday that, the youth's heart was not in healthy condition. A six -hour autopsy revealed that Stewart's heart was smaller than a normal -sized organ, Baugher said, "the boy died of a heart collapse after extraordin ary tension while watching a movie." Mumbled Something Two companions said Stewart was watching a scene depicting the explosion of a rocket ship when he glanced at them and started to mumble something. Then he slumped over in his seat and slid to the floor, where he died. William Cole, manager of the Lake Theater, denied that the About 81 million persons in the U. S. were in a state of mar riage in 1956. when you drive the '57 PLYMOUTH suddenly it's 1960 pictures were as horrifying as many that had previously been released.

KNOWS HOW To Provide Good Government Seldom do you find a candidate w ho is actually trained for serv ice in government. Mark Hat field is such a man. He has more experience for the job than any candidate for the office. He has spent years in the study and instruction of politi cal scietic and he has six years of outstanding service in the legislature as well.

They were written in the days when Mr. Neuberger was a free-lance writer using his lance to make mincemeat of his future colleague. Mr. Neuberger may regret these comments, but he can't retract or deny them. They stand as an accurate estimate of the man who, under a new label, again asks to represent the people of Oregon in the United States Senate. Under any label, Morse is bad medicine. He is no good for you. He is no good for the country. Let's make Morse's latest flip-flop his biggest flop of all. Let's send to the U. S.
