OREGON 'Apvll AO, 1041' L AT T (Continued from Page One) tion about 2 o'clock to report the theft of my car keys from my machine parked on Klamath venue between Tenth and Eleventh streets. Then I walked back to my car Bnd when I got there, a car stopped across the street and Gertie Barkley called to me and asknd me if I didn't want to so for a ride. In the car was Gertie, she was in the . front scat driving, and Edna George and her little girl. I got in the back and sat between Ted Walker and Tom Smith. They wanted to know If I had anything to drink and I said I hadn't. They had been drinking, I think. Anyway aertie was pretty drunk, and so was Ted. "We drove across the bridge and nearly to the top of the hill (Indian hill), and then we stop ped up there for a while, maybe five or 10 minutes and talked. When we started down, Gertie was driving pretty fast and I told her "aren't you pretty drunk to drive your car, and anyway you have a baby with you," but Ted said Gertie could handle the machine alright. And Gertie said she'd never wrecked a car -yet and had been driving a long time. I "We came down the hill pretty fast and I guess Gertie forgot to make that turn and kept straight on. I felt the car leave the road I'll never forget it. Then we hit the water and I felt the door on Tom's side open and the water rush in. Then he must have gone out the door, because the door closed and he wasn't there. My nose and mouth were above 'the water and I reached over and felt Ted and said 'Ted, are you all right,' but he didn t answer and I opened the door and got out. "I guess I swam quits a ways down the canal, the water was pretty swift and sort of carried me along, then I reached the bank and I was all-in, so I laid there a long time, I don't know how long, and ust rested. As soon as I felt better I walked up the bank and came down to the Lightfoot hospital and called to Mrs. Lightfoot to get the offi cers." . Florinda said she didn't know 4ust what time the accident oc curred but thought it was be tween 2:30 and 3 a. m. The spot where the woman lay on the bank still gave evidence of her wet clothing and the position of her body. Officers continued searching for the bodies of Smith and Wal ker late Wednesday.

E. 28th street, Portland. the men might not be in the canal, but neither had been re ported elsewhere. Both dead women were mem bers of prominent Indian fami lies on the Klamath Indian reser vation. Mrs. George is the daughter of Watson Duffy, and Mrs. Gertie Barkley Duffy is the daughter of Mrs. Effie Bark ley. Both city and county officers stated that an intensive drive against the sale of liquor to In dians, both on and off the reser vation has been underway, and it has recently been reported that bootleggers were meeting Indians on the hills east of town rather than in the business dis trict. Police said a partially filled bottle of whiskey was found in Mrs. Duffy's car, and a second bottle, containing wine, was found floating in the canal. Two Indian women, Roselda Jackson Hood, and Agnes Go- dowa Chocktoot, plunged into the canal at the Main street bridge about 3 o'clock Wednes day afternoon and were rescued from drowning by bystanders and police officers who man aged, by hook and rope, to get the two ashore. Bystanders said the girls had stood on the bridge weeping and suddenly ran down the path and into the water. The Hood woman is a niece of Mrs. Dean George, accident victim, and Agnes Chocktoot was said to have been engaged to Ted Walker, for whose body police continued to drag late Wednes day. Officers ordered Indians away from the bank of the stream where operations have been un derway since early morning. Both women were lodged in the city jail on a charge of drunk ! and disorderly. Federal Jury Gets Schonchin Case Guy Sconchin, Klamath In dian, was bound over to the fed eral grand Jury Tuesday after a hearing before U. S. Commis sioner Bert C. Thomas on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Bond was set at $10, 000. Sconchin was arrested after the shooting of Melvin Barkley, another Indian, on a Chiloquin street. Barkley had recovered sufficiently Tuesday to testify at the hearing. Fred Butts, arrested at Chilo quin on a charge of selling liquor to an Indian, waived hearing and his bond has been set at $2500.

"It is the first Instance," the prime minister said, "where air bombing prolonged day after day has failed to break discipline and order of marching columns who, besides being thus assailed from the air, wero pursued by no less than three armored divisions as well as the whole strength of German mechanized forces which could be brought to bear." In Cairo, the middle east com mand war bulletin said simply that the withdrawal from Greece is "continuing satisfac torily." Because it felt that further bloodshed would be useless to the allies, the government said Greece advised the British on April 21 to withdraw their forces and avoid vain sacrifices. On April 21, Greece's Eplrus and Macedonian armies were ne gotiating surrender, other Greeks and the British were falling back across the Thessaly plains and resistance had turned into mere bitter-end delaying ac tions. The Germans then were beyond Larisa and Metsovon pass and. two days earlier, had planted their flag over Mount Olympus. Merchants Agree On Closing Stores At 6 P. M.

The report of the German troop arrivals was contained in the following nine-lino dispatch printed at the top of Pravda's foreiirn news case without com jment: "According to reliable re ports, on April 26 there arrived at the Finnish port of Abo four German transport ships from which about 12,000 German troops landed with arms, tanks, artillery, etc. On April 28, tho troops began to move to Tarn pere." Germans here asserted the nazl troop arrival was merely part of the regular movement of troops through Finland to Norway which has been going on for some time under agree ment with the Finnish govern ment. It was the first time, however, that notice of such movements had appeared in the soviet press. Pravda, in a separate article on "The great force of Stalin's friendship of peoples," referred to the Karelian republic created after the soviet-Finnish war last year. 'The tollers of the Karelian Finnish republic are living In friendship," it said. "Beyond the border In capitalistic coun tries now as never before are being developed national hat red, beastly chauvinism and the Ideology of looting war. "All the brighter In this gloom are our victories." Russian warplanes roared over the soviet capital today In practice flights as the red army prepared for its annual May day demonstration tomorrow.
