He added that Miss Wenzel had been dismissed after working for him about eight months be cause of her "erratic behav ior." Police said Miss Wenzel had been in the home for two days awaiting Montgomery's return from a six-week trip. The actor said he saw her when he first entered his home in this San Fernando Valley community and ran after her into a bedroom. Gun Fired There Miss Wenzel pulled a 38-caliber revolver from un der a pillow, police said. Mont gomery and the woman strug gled for several moments and the gun fired once before he was able to subdue her. Detectives said they found a note which Miss Wenzel had apparently written which said she didn't want Montgomery "fooling around with celebrity girls and ruining his reputation." The former maid, who came to this country from Dussel dorf, Germany, about seven years ago, also indicated in the note that she had intend ed to kill Montgomery and then herself. Miss Wenzel was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Montgomery was di vorced by Miss Shore, who since has remarried, in May, 1962. They had two children, Melissa, IS, and John, 9.

A hike into the Rogue Riv er National forest just south of the Oregon stateline to check a report of Pacific sil ver fir growing in the area was made recently by Dr. Philip G. Haddock, associate professor of silviculture at the University of British Co lumbia, Vancouver. Dr. Haddock was accompa nied by Eugene L. Parker, 2326 Sunnyview lane, Med ford, who had reported the 91 Vets in County Receive Home Loans The Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs granted farm and home loans to 3,498 veterans last fiscal year amounting to S.36,188,550, ac cording to H.

In an article by Dr. Haddock in 1961 published in "Forest Science," he told of the oc currence of Pacific silver fir in the Marble mountains in Siskiyou county. Prior to this time it had been thought that Pacific silver fir did not grow that far south. Determine Occurrence The professor commented "it would be of interest to determine the nearest occur rence of Pacific silver fir to the north, since range maps show the southernmost sta tion to be some where well north of the Oregon border." Parker contacted Dr. Had dock followingl the article's appearance. Parker's discov ery of the silver fir was prompted in I960 by Oliver V. Matthews, Salem, dendrol ogist, when he asked Parker to look for similar alpine fir on the head of Joe creek in the Siskiyou mountains near Blue Ledge mine. After two trips into the area, once accompanied by Lloyd Tyson Jr., surveyor for the city of Medford, Parker sent photographs and her barium specimens to Dr. John H. Thomas, associate curator of Dudley herbarium at Stanford university, who confirmed the identification. Location Established On the trip Aug. 17 with Dr. Haddock, positive loca tion and botanical data on the trees were established. At the same time other trees were observed by binoculars at the head of Joe creek which are believed to be sil ver fir. Further investigation may discover alpine fir in the re gion, it was noted. The only known occurrence of alpine fir in the Siskiyou mountains is near the summit of Ml. Ashland. Dr. Haddock believes that close investigation of the north slopes in the Siskiyou mountains above 6,000 feet that are not to steep may re veal more sprinklings of sil ver fir or alpine fir south to the Trinity mountains. Parker, who became inter ested in silviculture a num ber of yeass ago, had an ar ticle on the geographic over lap of noble fir and red fir published in the "Forest Sci ence" magazine in June this year. . .
