PAGB TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON July 80, 194J L VESTOCK FINISH LARGE A large scale cattla branding and marking operation, remin iscent of "the good old days" was completed last week by a number of livestock men who established a buckaroo camp bout 20 miles beyond Bly to handle the work for their com bined herds. About 3000 cattle were "work ad" during the month the oper ation was in progress, with 700 to 800 calves branded. The Job was complicated by there being even brands involved, each herd having to be cut out separ ately. Cows then had to be ob served to see which calves "mothered up" to them and the branding done accordingly. The men participating in the "pool" and their brands were Henry Gerber, "TL";W. R. and Dave Campbell, "74"; Garner Lundy, "Triangle HL"; W. D. Campbell, "Circle 5"; O. S. Campbell, "Circle"; Lawrence Campbell, "LC , and Lloyd Gift, ' TT. After the branding, marking and vaccinating for blackleg were completed by the eight buckaroos and their four young helpers, the cattle were turned from spring onto summer range to grow fat and slick , before Marketing time in the fall.

Violent Floods Take Total of ; By WILLIAM BIESEL RIDGWAY, Pa., July 20 (JP) Violent flash floods rolling through north central Pennsyl vania and New York today took at least 11 lives and dam aged or destroyed hundreds of homes, business establishments and industrial plants. Railroad roadways and high way bridges were washed out. Traffic was paralyzed. Power and telephone service was dis rupted. There were fires, land slides and disease threats. The flood waters swirled from- the upper tributaries of the Susquehanna, Clarion and Allegheny rivers in Pennsylva nia. The Allegheny winds north ward , through southern New York before turning southwest to its junction with the Ohio at Pittsburgh. Hardest hit were Port Alle gany, Austin, Wharton, Ridg way. Emporium and Johnson burg t in Pennsylvania and "Tramp Printer" Has Plenty To Show for His Wanderings Nathan Bergman, one of the few "tramp printers" who still hits the rails with regularity, is paying Klamath Falls a visit, proudly displaying a neat stack of war bonds, each purchased in a different state. "I aim to have one from every state in the union, before long," he grinned. "After all, I just need enough money to eat on and a place to sleep. Uncle Sam needs a lot more than that, so I'm doing my best to help him out. Known to the profession as The Wandering Jew, Bergman first hit Klamath Falls in 1910, the year the railroad was fin ished here, furnishing him with rods to ride. That was 32 years ago, when the old Chronicle was the news sheet of the booming town. For forty out of his three score years, he has been a "boomer' and seems to thrive on it, for his age would never be guessed as 60. Right now, he admits he's "riding the cushions" as he dis played a ticket for a destination In tha south. Spy Spotter (NBA Telephota) John O.

At Port Allegany, where six persons were reported drown ed, the Allegheny smashed in to the Free Methodist church while 150 persons were attend ing a conference. They clung to trees, roof-tops and floating wreckage until rescued. Fire broke out later and destroyed the church and nearby Parish hall, a garage and an old silk mill. L. N. Lukehart of Alexandria, Va., general field representa tive of the Red Cross, took charge of relief operations there. He reported the flood was so swift "huge chunks of' streets" were torn out. An earthern dam broke at Austin, sweeping away several homes and knocking other from their foundations. Water mains, electric and telephone lines were destroyed A flood there in 1911 took more than 80 lives. No loss of life had been reported today. "But who knows?" he opined. "Maybe a month from now I'll be down on my luck and hoof ing it again. And what of it? It's the ups and downs that put the zip into life!

EVACUATION GURFEW RULE SEATTLE, July 30 (if) Fed eral Judge Lloyd Black was ex pected today to rule soon that curfew and evncimtkm orders affecting Japanese and Japanese-Americans wore constitu tional. Judge Black said Saturday he would so rule, unless convinced to the contrary, in the case of Gordon Kyoshl Hirabayaslil, 24, Japanese-American University of Washington student who con tested the orders. Referring to an argument by Frank L. Waters, attorney for Hirabayaslil, that evacuation of persons of Japanese ancestry from critical military areas can be accomplished legally only by amending the constitution, Judge Black observed: "I do not consider that our constitution makes this nation that helpless to cope with totnl conflict. "I recognize that it has been frequently declared by represen tatives of Japan, Germany and Italy that a constitutional de mocracy, such as the United States, is completely outmoded by reason of scientific advance ment that has so speeded mod ern war. - Restrictive "Such representatives have shouted to the world that the constitution of the United States is so restrictive, cumbersome and unyielding as to absolutely bind and Imprison the United States, so that this country, self- imprisoned by its own constitu tion, will be an immobilized vic tim while the speedy attacks of dictator countries, unrestrained by parliament or constitution, destroy it. "But I concede to counsel that I don't believe the constitution of the United States is so unsult ed for survival in these days of lightning war that if we need to protect critical military areas we can only do so by the slow process of constitutional amend ment."

Lieut. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, commiindvr of the air forces, disclosed that the airborne com mandos are being trained to "strike at the enemy where ho is least prepared." While carefully guarding cer tain details of the new combat organization, General Arnold said that troop transports and gliders would take the men to their objectives where their speed and firing power would make them the spearhead of action against the enemy. "The Importance of swiftly moving combot teams," said Ar nold, "cannot be overestimated. "This will be a self-contained force whose soldiers, equipment and supplies are all transported by air. It can now be revealed that In size, equipment and fire power the airborne army will exceed anything of the kind the world has yet seen." Headquarters for tho troop carrier command, which will transport the air commandos, have been set up at Stout field, Ind., under the command of Col. Fred S. Borum. Arnold said that several tactical stations under the command of the carrier or ganizations were being estab lished. It is there that glider pilots will got flight training before going Into commando work "for coordination with the combat groups."
