(International Soundpheto) Haunting 'Ghost Cat' Plaguing Owners Of New Home Traced To Squeeking Meter Glondora, Calif.

"meowing" to the defective a "ghost cat" whose haunting cries turned out of be a squeaky water meter instead of the cat's meow. Construction crews began re pairing holes in walls and torn down sections of siding left in the wake of a 22-day search by police, firemen, construction men and technicians for what was believed to have been a cat trapped inside a wall. The actual cause of the pitiful Service Approves Quaker Aid in Egypt Quaker aid in Egypt has been approved by the American Friends Service committee, it was announced this week. The committee's board of di rectors decided to provide both financial help and material aids for Suez Canal Zone refugees and Jews in Egypt who have suffered as a result of the crisis. The action was based on the findings by Paul Johnson, AFSC representative who went on a special mission to Egypt in De cember to explore with local of ficials the need for Quaker serv ice in the area. Johnson reports between 125, 000 and 135.000 refugees and evacuees from the Suez Canal Zone. About 40,000 of that num ber are living in temporary shel ter such as schools and social centers under government care. Government care, Johnson said, includes a cash weekly pay ment to heads of families, distri bution in camps of blankets and clothing, and the operation of emergency kitchens. meter. Hundreds of spectators had crowded around the house and had to be roped off by police. Carta, whose family was plagued with the cries ever since movmg into their new nouse nearly a month ago, sighed with relief and said that he and his wife and their two small children could now return to "normal lives." Plenty of Suggestions They were weary from being flooded with telegrams, letters and phone calls from people all across the nation who offered suggestions on how to free the "poor kitty" from its walled-in tomb. The ordeal of the wailing cat Executive Editor Named at Yakima Yakima, Wash. 4V.P) Charles F. Massey, former managing edi tor of the San Francisco News, has been appointed executive editor of the Yakima Daily Re public and the Yakima Morning Herald, Publisher Ted Robertson said today. Massey had been with the Scripps-Howard newspapers for 30 years. For some 12 years he was managing editor of the San Francisco News. Previously, he had been man aging editor of the San Diego Independent and had worked for the Fresno Bee as well as the Nebraska State Journal at Lin coln. Massey fills the vacancy caus ed by the recent resignation of Charles F. Carson. occurred while the Carta home was in the middle of an unfin ished escrow, and Carta became so exasperated that he had threatened to move out. The H. C. Elliott construction firm, which built the house, tore apart sections of the house in a search for the cat. After Tues day's discovery, Elliott said he would put men to work immed iately upon repairing the dam age. He said he would pay the cost which would be about $250. Down To Ninth For days during the search, amateur and professional "ex perts" had been calling out, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty," and were answered by the squeaking meter. They even swore that the cries were growing fainter and that the feline was on the verge of dying. Other cats and dogs were brought into the house to try to locate the "cat." Suggestions from outsiders included jacking up the house and doing a dance to attract the trapped kitty. Probably the most relieved of all by the solution of the prob lem was Mrs. Carta, who is ex pecting another child in about a month. Mattress Fires Take Two Lives at Newport Newport, Ore.

Possible features of the cam- Studies of Stale Employees' Wages Show Similarity Salem (U.R) The salaries and wages study of the Oregon State Employees Association is run ning within 5 per cent of the general findings of the Civil Service Commission, a meeting of the OSEA salaries and wages survey committee with civil service representatives disclosed here yesterday. Surprisingly Similar Comparing notes on their re spective pay studies for state workers, a spokesman for the joint session said "in spite of different approaches to the sal aries survey the OSEA and civil service data are surprisingly similar. One study actually sup ports the other, thus lending va ladity to both surveys." Researchers said the major concern for state employees at this time was not in classifica tions study but in the over-all pay structure which must be giv en top priority. Would Stabilize Performance Observers said legislative ap proval of the proposed salaries and wages plan of the OSEA would substantially raise and tend to stabilize the level of work performance within state government. The study said that in the period of April to July, 1956, there was a rise of 4.5 per cent in the salaries and wages of workers in jobs comparable to state workers within the compe titive labor market. The re searchers said that should the proposed salaries plan of the OSEA be adopted by the 1957 Legislature, the Oregon pay structure would still be running at least 5 per cent behind.
