Haunting 'Ghost Cat' Plaguing Owners
Of New Home Traced To Squeeking Meter
Glondora, Calif. (U.R) Re-1 wailing was finally located Tues-

Carta's $20,000 home which was I sensitive equipment traced the

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

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.

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

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.

Anti-Jaywalking Campaign
Suggested at Safety Meet
The possibility of an anti-jay- paign could be loud speakers at
walking campaign in Medford
was discussed yesterday by rep
resentatives of city departments
and public offices at their an
nual, traffic safety inventory
meeting at the city hall.
Tentative plans for the pro
posed campaign were considered
by City Manager Robert Duff,
Medford Police Lt. Clyde Ficht
ner, inventory chairman; Police
Chief Charles Champlin; Public
Works Director Vern Thorpe and
Police Sgt. Roy Pean.
Authorization Needed
It was pointed out before the
campaign could be activated au
thorization would' be required
from the city council and that
the campaign should be steered
through the Medford Safety
council.

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.
