Siskiyou Residents
Entertain Foreign
Students in Homes
By DORIS ROBINSON
and CHARLOTTE DAVIS
Mall Tribune Correspondents
Yreka-A large number of
Siskiyou county residents,
most of them members of the
Yrcka and Montague Rotary
clubs, did their part to creHte
international undcrstan ding
when they entertained 40 for
eign students one week end
recently.
The students were all from
the University of California
al Berkeley, and they were
accompanied here by Mrs.
Irene Prcscott, director of
public relations at the Inter
national House on the UC
campus.
All parts of the world were
represented, from Australia to
Fuilaiiu. from the Soviet Un
ion to Mexico, from Ituly '.o
Nigeria and Egypt, as the stu
dents came to receive the hos
pitality of friendly American
families and in turn charm the
local residents.
That the barrier of langu
age is nothing to people who
wish to learn about each other
was evidenced from the warm
welcome given the visitors as
they arrived by bus, on
through to the reluctant part
ings as they again bumck-d
their bus to depart.
All races, languages and in
terests were represented
the fine group of graduate stu
dents who came to be aiming i own country.
try roads. Many were enter
tained by family group din
ners and in turn showed pic
tures of their homeland and
asked and answered many
questions.
A total of 305 Rotnrians,
their wives, guests and the
foreign students attended a
banquet at Winema hall at
the Siskiyou County fair
grounds. This number includ
ed three foreign students who
arc attending Siskiyou coun
ty high schools and living in
this area this year.
The banquet 's an integral
part of the annual foreign stu- ,
dent visit here.
Mis. Pr envoi I acted as mis
tress of ceremonies for I lie
evening. She sat at the head
table with Dr. Tom Preerr,
president of the Yrcka Ro
tary dub, his wife aiui their
IMH'sl., and Turn DirkiiiAon,
president of the Monlugue
Rotary club and his wife and
their student guest.
Mrs. Prescott called the
students by groups to the
platform where they sang
songs, recited poems or
danced.
One of the highlights of
the evening was an ail by
four Japanese students who
sang Japanese words to the
tune of Clementine. Each stu

seeking an appropriation of
approximately $115,000 to
hasten the work on the Rogue
Basin project, was endorsed
by the Medford Chamber of
Commerce board of directors
at the breakfast session at the
Rogue Valley Country club.
The endorsement was asked
by Gerald Latham who said
that two new features of the
project are supplemental
water for Bear Creek and mu
nicipal water storage in the
Applegate dam.
The board authorized Man
ager Don McNeil to write the
Oregon delegation in Wash
ington, D.C., informing them
of the board's endorsement of
the association's rcoucst.

sized al the breakfast. The
committee and the chamber
board are not opposed to Sun

stated, but to the particular

Frank Van Dyke, represent

He said Hoover school was
more than adequate to serve

By United Press International
Gov. Edmund G. Brown
asked the Legislature to ap
prove a narrowly balanced
"austerity" budget of $3.2 bil
lion to operate the state in
fiscal 1963-64.
Democrats generally ap
plauded the governor's spend
ing program, but Republicans
assailed it for lack of econ
omy. The governor conceded it
was the largest state budget
in the history of the United
States. But he said "every
budget in the foreseeable fu
ture of California will either
set a new record or ignore
the minimum annual require
ments of our astounding
growth."
In the first budget of his
second term, the Democratic
governor of the nation's most
populous state asked the law
makers to approve a pay-as-you-go
income tax system
starting July 1, 1964. The
recommendation promised to
be one of the most contro
versial issues of the current
session.
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
Douglas: Douglas Aircraft
company, builders of the can
celed Skyboll missiles, said
it will lay off about 1,700
more employees. The an
nouncement in Santa Monica
followed a statement by the
Air Force in Washington that
it was halting all research and
development work on the
Skybolt program. Some 2,000
already have been laid off.
The Skybolt project origin
ally employed 6,000 persons.
Strikes: Steelworkers walk
ed off their jobs at the U.S.
Steel Corp., Columbis-Geneva
plant in Pittsburg, Calif.
Meanwhile, in another labor
dispute, a federal mediation
board worked on borrowed
time to avert a strike against
Southern Pacific Railroad.
The 2,000 steelworkers vot
ed to remain off the job until
they were assured "the griev
ance procedure will function
properly." The walkout came
as a surprise, shutting down
production in the huge plant.
The 11,000-member railway
clerks union, which claimed
support of 39,000 other SP
employ ees, originally was
scheduled to stop work al
midnight Wednesday. The
walkout threatened operations
in seven western states.
Fire: A spark from a weld
er's torch touched off an esti
mated one-quarter-million dol
lar blaze in Burbank at sound
stage 6 of Warner Bros. Stu
dio. No injuries were re
ported. Dimaggio: Joe Dimaggio,
former New York Yankee
baseball great, was named in
a $30,000 damage suit charg
ing him with issuing a bad
check. The suit was filed by
Sherman Harris, owner of a
steak house in Palm Springs.
Murder Trial: The San
Francisco Bay Area's two sen
sational murder trials - the
Kroeger one in San Francisco
and the De Kaplany in San
Jose - continued to excite
great interest.
Geza de Kaplany's lawyers
sought to prove that he suf
fers from acute schezophrenia
and that his alter ego, Pierre
La Roche, had taken charge
of his body when he poured
acid over the nude body of
his bride last Aug. 28.
The trial of accused double
murderess Iva Kroeger con
tinued in San Francisco with
frequent disruptions in the
proceedings. Mrs. Kroeger,
who was on trial with her
husband, Ralph, 61, several
times bolted from her chair
in verbal attacks at prosecu-
Eight Children
Die in House Fire
Toronto. Ont. - (UPfi - Eight
children died Friday in a fire
lhat destroyed their two-story
attached home in the city's
West End.
The victims, children of

Effie, 35, were identified as
Ann, 17, Albert, 16, Eileen,
14, Alison, 12, John, 10,
Linda, 8, Sharon, 6, and
Bill. 4.
Their parents were taken
to a hospital suffering from

dead.

Housing: Mayor George
Christopher of San Francisco
announced the city was con
ducting an investigation into
what happened to some $9
million in funds belonging to
the community's public hous
ing authority. Christopher,
who said there was no real
indication of fraud, said some
of the expenses of the housing
authority appeared unreason
able. Postmaster: Leslie N. Shaw,

the first Negro postmaster of
Los Angeles. The savings and

Telephone: An effort to halt

of the Northwestern Section

ing order had been requested
by several groups and indi
viduals who are fighting for
the old prefix system.
Weather: Floods from the
previous week's storm subsid
ed in northern and central
California as flood control of
ficials warned that without
dams constructed in recent
years damage would have
been much more severe. The
rain gave way to the warmest
early February temperatures
in California history. In
