Title To Klamath Timber Stopped Washington (DPI) A feder al judge issued an order Thursday restraining the sec retary of agriculture from taking title to nearly one mil lion acres of Klamath Indian tribal lands in Oregon. Judge Matthew McGuire granted the restraining order upon the request of ''with drawing" members of the tribe. The Forest Service had planned to lake title to the lands Saturday. The order pre vents such action until a pend ing Klamath suit against the government is settled Members of the tribe were given the option In 1854 of withdrawing or staying in the th'bal organization. Those withdrawing were to divide up the proceeds from timber lands owned by the tribe. The federal government purchased most of the lands but was limited by Congress from paying more than $00 million. The pending suit claims that the price Is unfair and the congressional act pre vents withdrawing members of due process of law. The suit, in the name of Paul Bcllan of Klamath Falls, Ore., is on behalf of more than 800 members of the tribe. LOOKS AT PICTURES , Montgomery, Ala. - IUPII - L. F. Herring testified in a civil rights voting hearing Thursday that he was able to read "pretty well" until a recent development. "What was that?" nsked a lawyer. "We got television," Herring said. "Then I quit." LEGAL NOTICES "Good heavens, we are shaking to pieces," gasped the 40-year-old pilot in a quaver ing voice over the radio in tercom. Diving Toward Ground Walker had zoomed to the crest of his record climb and was diving toward the ground at a 35 degree angle at speeds estimated above 2,000 miles an hour Thursday when the 50-foot rocketship began shak ing violently. "I've never experienced anything like it," Walker said after landing. "Even though I was strapped in, my head was going up while the wind shield was coming down." The buffeting last for only seconds between the altitudes of 80,000 to 70,000 feet. Sci entists were at a loss to ex plain its cause. Called 'Cliff-Hanger' Other unexpected incidents which cropped up made the record flight appear almost jinxed. Walker called the flight "a cliff-hanger all the way.", i The X15"s old unofficial rec ord was 28 miles (138,000 feet). At the height of his stub winged experimental plane's trajectory over Death Valley Walker was above 99.85 per cent of the earth's atmosphere and could see the Pacific coast from southern Oregon to northern Mexico.

The department also warn ed that all operators must have an operation permit be toic they begin logging or sawmilling. Failure to secure the permit will result in legal action. French Mayor Killed by Bombs Paris - (UPD - Two bombs apparently set by anti-De Gaulle extremists today killed Mayor Camille Blanc of Evlan, the city' on Lake Geneva where peace talks are to start Friday between French and Algerian rebel leaders. Both French and Algerian leaders said the talks would open in Evian as planned de spite the blasts butr almost immediately officials of the Algerian rebel government in exile announced in Tunis they would call off the talks if France insisted on holding parallel negotiations with rival Algerian groups. The two explosions which shattered the quiet of the sleeping town across Lake Geneva from Siwtzerland at 3 a.m. came 15 seconds apart and shattered the front of Evian's Hotel . Beau , Rivage, home of the mayor. Jean Combet, secretary gen eral of Evian's city govern ment, said risht-wine French men who fear President Charles de Gaulle was about to "sell out" Algeria to the Moslem rebels had warned the popular resistance hero against letting Evian be used for the peace talks. 7 WMftmm Bridge, Highway Bills Approved Salem -fliPD-The full Ways and Means Committee Thurs day night voted out "do pass" bills for the Astoria-Megler bridge and another S4 million for reconstruction of Highway 42 between Roseburg and Co- quille. The measures went to the House floor. Rep. George Annala (D- Hood River) complained about the bridge bill. Noting that Oregon would pay 67 per cent of cost of the bridge and Washington state 33 per cent, Annala said passage of the legislation would mean Ore gon will have "adopted a lend lease policy." He was joined by Reps. Stafford Hansell (R-Athena), Ben Evick (D-Madras), Carl Fisher (R-Eugene) and Sen. Mclvin Goode (R-Albany). The Highway 42 bill had only two opposition votes -those of Annala and Hansell. The committee also ap proved a state agriculture budget cut down only slightly from that recommended by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Fund Established For County Supplies A separate budget item was approved this morning by the Jackson county budget com mittee for the purchase of all office equipment, furniture, stationery and supplies for the county. The budget item will be set up in the miscellaneous coun ty fund. With this arrange ment, all equipment items are being deleted from individual department budgets. Commit tee members said that with central purchasing much of the major items may be put up for bid meaning a sub stantial saving to the county. In action today, the com mittee tentatively approved the county health depart ment's budget for $105,100 which is a $3,880 increase over the preceding year. Requested, but not taken under consideration for the 1961-62 budget, was an item for $3,500 for a medical in vestigator. Tills amount will be necessary after Jan. 1, 1063, when the term expires for the present corner. The change in this department was made during the last legislature.

It also heard last night that its request for a. budget of $5,500 to pay: for the charter writing job had been tenta tively approved by the county budget committee yesterday afternoon. i , . - For the past six months the committee has been interview ing a long list of county of ficials, former county officials and private citizens who have ideas about county govern ment. It has compiled a large file of such opinions and sug gestions, all of which will be taken into consideration when the charter is actually pre pared. It is now hoped to have it ready to present to the Vot ers next year. , . , Last night the committee heard a newspaperman, who is a former state official, give his views on county govern ment. In a prepared . state ment, and during a question and answer period, Eric W. Allen Jr., managing editor of the Mail Tribune, formerly a secretary to the governor of Oregon, advocated a larger county court or commission, of seven or nine members, who would serve without pay. Responsible, Responsive ' Allen declared that such a group, all of them elected, would provide more repohsi ble and more responsive cbun ty government than is possible at present, a government, far closer to the people than that of today, where three menv bers of the court and six other elected officials have a varie ty of duties and responsibili ties, but where there is no centralization of either author ity or responsibility. He said the enlarged county board or council should em ploy an administrator or coor dinator, who in turri would supervise and coordinate the activities of the county de partments. As it is now, each elected official is responsible only to the electorate, Allen pointed out, and is under no compul sion to cooperate with the oth er departments. "The miracle to me," he said, ". . . is that anything gets accomplished when gen eral administration is ban- Saturday & Sunday EASTER SPECIALS Ro( Turkty Supreme $1.25 Baked Ham 1 .25 Vx Fried Chicken 1.25 Swlu Steak, wmuihroomt .. 1.09 Jumbo Fried Shrimp 1.09 Child"!

EFFICIENT, COURTEOUS SERVICE DARDANELLE Hiwiy 99 at Gold Hill Overpast 15 Minutes From Medford died by a three-man ad hoc committee, no one member of which bears sole responsibil ity, and other county func tions are handled by officers, many of whom are responsi ble only to the electorate, and can (and sometimes do) tell their colleagues to go hang." ' Alien said he saw nothing sacred in the present assign ment of duties to the various county departments, and indi cated a reshuffling of duties and titles could provide for more efficiency in govern ment, making the county a better agency for serving the people. . , He declared that the only justification for government is, in the words of Lincoln, to do for the people what they cannot do, or do as well,, for themselves. But he added that the often-heard maxim . that the government which gov erns least, governs best, as a "patent absurdity, a nihilistic attitude, and an invitation to ar archy." Allen admitted that changes such as he proposed might be considered radical, and that the voters of the county may not be adequately motivated, as yet, to approve them. SLICING IT THIN New York -(UPD- The Prince ton Club Thursday bid $4,000 for a nine-inch piece of land to expand its facilities in a proposed building in Manhat tan. The land, 100 feet deep, was purchased from . the city which acquired it as a result of constant revisions of prop erty lines in real estate sales. The Princeton club of course also plans to use a larger adjacent lot for the resj, of its building. . But he added it is his opto ion that, given adequate ex planation of the fact that such a government would be closer to the people, more responsive to their needs, and more flex ible in handling the many problems which increasing population and technological change inevitably will bring, the people ultimately will ap prove some such change.
