gas, thefts occurred in Central
Point yesterday and today.

partment extinguished a grass
fire beside Biddle rd. near
Lawnsdale rd. at 5:52 p.m. yes

firemen said.
Tools Taken The Rogue Riv
er Packing company has reported
the !vss of a battery atid miscel
laneous tools from one of its
trucks parked in the company
lot at 13th st. and Front St., ac

ence, they hoped to discourage
any further efforts by U. S. dep
uty marshals to carry out a
court order calling for Prathers
eviction.
Fight in Washington
But the most telling develop
ment in the long fight by the 82-year-old
rancher to avoid sell
ing his ranch for S209.000 to the
government was taking place in
Washington.
Three members of New Mex
ico's congressional delegation
met with Pentagon officials.
Reps. Joseph M. Montoya and
John J. Dempsey, and Sen. Clin
ton P. Anderson, all Democrats,
reported after, the talks that
nothing definite was worked out.
Hope for Understanding
They said, however, that they
hoped an understanding could
be achieved resolving the con
troversy "to everyone's satisfac
tion." Prather has threatened to
shoot anyone who tries to carry
out the eviction order. He kept
his .30-.30 rifle and .38 caliber
pistol close at hand.
The wrinkled rancher pointed
out to newsmen a spot near his
house where he wants to be
buried "if I am shot fighting off
the Army."
"I'm going to die on this land
one way or another," Prather
said.

Of Wednesday's Rise
New York (W Stocks re
treated today and gave up part
of Wednesday's rise.
The main list fluctuated nar
rowly through most of the day.
Finally the rails led a general
downturn. Higher freight rates
given the carriers two days ago
were seen as inadequate to meet
increased costs.
Losses in the railroads ranged
to more than a point. The steels
gave ground slowly but surely
with Youngstown Sheet & Tube
off a point. Motors yielded frac

Early Agreement Sought
On Rights Compromise
Washington (If) Democratic
leaders drove today for early
Senate-House agreement on a
civil rights compromise close to
the measure overwhelmingly ap
proved by the Senate Wednes
day night.
There was growing belief they
would succeed, as major civil
rights groups and supporters
made it plain they would rather
have a modest first step as they
labeled the Senate bill than
nothing at all.
