Rainy Weather Worries Klamath County Growers Klamath Falls (IT) Rainy weather and soggy fields today caused concern in Klamath county for the fate of Uie onion and potato crops. Sandlot potato growers are fairing better than those whose potatoes are growing in the black bottom land soil across the state line near Tulelake, Calif. County Agent Charles Hen derson said if the potatoes are dug when the ground is too wet earth sticks to the tubers and rot is likely to develop when the potatoes "warm up" in the cellars. Using Lighter Equipment Between 11,000 and 12,000 carloads of potatoes are shipped annually from the Klamath bas in and normally the harvest would be in full swing by now. Soggy ground prevents use of heavy equipment in much of the Klamath basin but some growers are cleaning off one field at a time", using lighter equipment and hand diggers. The basin this year has an estimated 600 to 700 acres of onions and less than half of them ' have been harvested. Growers reported some rot has been encountered.

Neuberger (D-Ore.) today urg ed the consideration of Tom Lawson McCall, Portland radio and television news commen tator, as executive director of the President's Civil .Rights Commission. McCall, a Republican, has long been active in the civil rights field in Oregon. In 1954 he was a candidate for Congress but was defeated by Edith Green, his Democratic opDonent. Shouldn't Be. Partisan Neuberger wrote to Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. recommending McCall's appoint ment. The Democratic Senator pointed out that the director of the new Civil Rights Commis sion should be beyond partisan considerations. "Tiie economic matters on which I disagree with Mr. Mc Call are not at stake in this situ ation," Neuberger wrote. He concluded, "While I nat urally cannot speak for any oth er member of the Senate except myself. I think I can promise you safely that no major pro tests would develop against Mr. McCall on the part of Senators who were active supporters of the recent civil rights bill en acted at the federal level." Worked for Law McCall. while administrative aide to then Gov. Douglas Mc Kay, was active in pressing for enactment of Oregon's fair em ployment practices act and later worked for passage of the Ore gon civil rights law to safeguard equal access to public accommo dations. Buffalo Offered Cut Up or Live To Buyers in U.S. Washington (in Uncle Sam's special of the month: Fancy fresh killed buffalo, 30 cents a pound. The Fish and Wildlife Service said today it has 250 buffalos for sale at its Wichita Mountains Wildlife refuge in Oklahoma. William E. Ackernecht of the Wildlife Refuge Office said the government is offering the buf falo in four low-money cate gories: For $180 the refuge will ship to your door prepaid an en tire frozen buffalo butchered into handy barbecue-size cuts. For $160 you can get the same frozen buffalo shipped to you prepaid but it will have been cut only in quarters. For $140 you can get the same quartered buffalo FOB Wichita. In this case, the buffalo will not be frozen: only cold. For $125 to $150 you can get the same buffalo FOB Wich ita on the hoof. Ackernecht said if you want one on the hoof you will have to be investigated first. "We won't sell them to just anybody," he said. "A buyer must have the proper facilities and capabilities to care for one. Ackernecht said the refuge had to sell off the buffalos to keep the 1,000-head herd down to the right size for its grazing land.

MON DESIR Open Every Night Except MONDAYS Thursday. October 10, 195 Grange Notes Upper Applegata Grange Upper Applegate Grange members were reminded of the familiar words of Shakespeare, "How far that little candle sheds its beams," when there was a power failure during their meet ing Tuesday evening and the only light remaining in the room was the Home Economics Flame of Friendship candle. This was supplemented by numerous flashlights so the meeting could proceed, and lights, heat, and water were restored to the hall an hour later with resumption of electrical service. Candidates Florence Lance of Medford, Ernest and Ella Dorn of Jacksonville, and Charles and Ivy DeShazo of Upper Apple gate were obligated in the third and fourth degrees of the order by Worthy Master Menno Bach mann. Home Economics Chairman Edna Sawyer reported a total of $70 cleared on the two-day rum mage sale held in Medford last week. Of this sum, $60 was turned over to the Grange treas ury and the balance invested in flavoring extracts for resale. Grange members participating in the canning contest were in structed to bring their entries to the next meeting or to take them to Sister Sawyer's home as judg ing on the county level will oc cur at Pomona Grange in Phoe nix soon. A gift of $25 from the Upper Applegate Home Extension unit was received, and permission was granted unit members to use the American flag owned by the Grange for their pledge of allegiance during meetings of the organization which are held in the Grange hall. Permission was also granted the civil defense organization to use the Grange hall in case of emergency. An invitation to send repre sentatives from the Grange to a meeting of the Jackson County Planning committee in its office in the court house at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, was read. All recommendations of the Grange in regard to the proposed county planning ordinance at that time are to be presented in writing for further consideration and study by the committee, it was stated.

The civilian crew was trans ferred to the LST 664, which had been standing by the Navy chartered 22,000-ton vessel dur ing part of its 22-hour ordeal on the reef. The tanker ran aground at top speed of 15 knots Tuesday night. The cargo tanks were split, the engine room was flooded and the ship listed dangerously to port. To Attempt Salvage The Navy said the LST would remain on the scene until res cue ships could reach Maro to attempt salvage. Then the sur vivors will be brought to Pearl Harbor. In its original distress mes sage, the tanker radioed it had run aground on Laysan Reef. However, search planes found nothing at Laysan. About 12 hours later, the ship was located on Maro Island, about 45 miles northwest of Laysan. Capt. Perry J. Countryman, Long Beach, Calif., said the tanker had been running with out a navigational fix for 56 hours due to overcast skies. The captain hoped to keep his crew aboard until salvage ships could reach the scene, but when darkness neared and the list became more critical, he ordered his men to abandon the stricken tanker. The ship, under charier to the Military Sea Transport -Service, was en route in ballast from Guam to Seattle for inactivation when it ran aground. LIVESTOCK Portland U.P.) Cattle 200.
