Witnesses Differ on
Proposed Termination
Of Klamath Control
Portland (U.R) Witnesses
appearing before Glenn L. 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.
Damage In Kansas
A tornado dipped Into Great
Bend, Kan., injuring one man
and causing at least $250,000
worth of damage. Police said
some 30 homes were damaged
when high winds removed roofs
and puffed out windows.
Don Bryant suffered minor in
juries when another twister
struck his farm at Rozel. Kan.
A light airplane and several
houses were damaged by the
wind near Dorrence. Kan. Two
farms near Halford. Kan., were
visited by tornadoes earlier in
the day.
The same weather that stir
red up the violent storms also
whipped up dust and showered
certain areas with snow.
The unruly weather was ex
pected to growl eastward into
the western Great Lakes region
today and range southward,
through Missouri into Western
Arkansas and Northern Texas.
Snow in Mountains
The Carolinas and Virginia
were rained upon again today.
The rest of the country had rel
atively moderate weather.
Early snow fell again in the
high elevation in Colorado, Wy
oming and Northern California
Monday and Monday night. Up
to six inches of snow filled the
mountain passes in Colorado.
More flurries were expected to
day. Although the mountains had
the white blanket, they also en
joyed warmer temperatures than
the tower elevations. Many low
er spots reported the mercury
had plunged below the freezing
point in Wyoming and Golorado.

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

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

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.

Oak Park, collapsed and died
Sunday while watching the open
ing moments of "The Creeping

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.

seat and slid to the floor, where
he died.

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. Senator
Hatfield underspends, from
first-hand knowledge, the func
tion of institutions and su'e
institutions are a direct retpon
sibility of the Secretary of State.

What is Wayne Morse's
real character?
Don't take our word for it take the words of a
man who knew Wayne when, Democratic Senator
Richard Neuberger. 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. Senate a man of
proved character, ability and integrity your
former Governor, DOUGLAS McKAY.
