PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON April 8, 1043 KLAMATH SEEN AS POTENTIAL (Continued From Page One) plained, this acreage will require a great deal of labor and care. If the effort is successful, the plants will produce a large volume of seed for the later expansion. Larry Mays, assistant super visor of the Deschutes national forest is being transferred here from Bend and will be in charge of the project for the forest serv ice, a branch of the department of agriculture. The bureau of plant industry and the Oregon State college extension service, represented locally by County Agent Charles A. Henderson and A. E. Gross, are cooperating in the work. Gross, who has charge of the experimental area near Spring lake, conducted the high ly successful experimental plant ing of kok-saghyz last year. Russians Grow Mora Kok-saghyz, a domesticated relative of the familiar American dandelion, was grown for rubber on about 2,000,000 acres in the Soviet union last year. The first shipment of seed was re ceived in the United States early last summer, directly from Kuibyshev by air transport. "Like its American cousins," ' laid Mays, "kok-saghyz contains rubber in the tubes of the root and other parts, but nature gave it more rubber to begin with and Russian scientists have increased the percentage by breeding and election. Merit Seen "The great merit of this dande lion lies in the fact it can be harvested and the roots pro cessed the same year it is plant ed. -" "The small kok-saghyz plants are quite fastidious in their growth and habits and require intensive culture. The plant therefore is never expected to become a noxious weed in farm ers' fields. It is also hoped that this rubber-producing dandelion can be grown on land now pro ducing only surplus crops and on land not now under culti vation." vocations Undisclosed Y Mays did not .disclose the ex act locations of the 1943 plant ings, but said that a part of the seed will be sewn on peat soil. He said peat soil is considered the best for growth of this plant, although the outstanding results of the 1942 planting here were obtained on another type of soil. - Mays stated that seed is the chief result expected from the planting this year. A large vol ume of seed should be obtained from the acreage to be planted, and this in turn can be utilized in extending the project in an other year if it proves successful. Little Rubber Mow A small part of the plant pro duction this year may be har vested for actual rubber produc tion on an experimental basis. Mays is obtaining office space In Klamath Falls and in connec tion with the establishment of the project is receiving the co operation of Karl Janouch, su pervisor of the Rogue River na tional forest.

(Continued from Page One) this area is white and Shasta fir of lower market values than pine. Fir Practical Recent laboratory tests show ed the fir timber to be' practic able for many kinds of , war con struction. Brown said. Pointing out that several lumber mills in the Klamath- basin area are in danger of slowing down because their supply of available timber is getting low, Brown said the forest service is making every effort to insure timber for as many mills as possible. It was pointed out that as pine stock piles dwindle, the de mand for fir lumber of this type will increase and markets will undoubtedly consume all that can be produced. Although- the forest service has not yet opened bids on the timber in question, it is believed here that the Dor ris mills will be low bidders since the haul to other mills would be too long to justify the expense of handling. Road Rout The logging road will follow Associated's private road from Dorris to Doran's camp and be yond to the Ball mountain tim ber area. The road. is expected to be completed in mid-summer. A. Douglas Tennant, superin tendent of Long-Bell here, is making extensive plans for the 1943 season. An all-electric planer and blow pipe system will be installed in the plant as soon as Long-Bell can arrange for the . engineer to supervise the job. The planer was former ly used in the Long-Bell Klam ath Falls mill and will be oper ated in conjunction with the plant's present planing equip ment. Associated Lumber and Box company's sawmill began oper ations here Monday. A victory with vengeance is ultimate defeat in the modern world. We can have peace or we can have revenge.

H Dunbar and Thomas Waldo Newton of Tulelake. Mrs. Wallan took the stand to testify her husband had a few drinks but was not intoxi cated on the night of December 24, She said he has recurrent back trouble and cannot close his fist because of an injur' Woman Testifies Eight witnesses were called to the stand by tha state Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Nina Lawrence, who with her two daughter was visiting at Mrs. Velma Hoi brook's home across the drive way from Bowmans, said that as she was returning to the Hoi- brook house after a brief trip to the store, she heard loud talking. As she came close, Mrs Lawrence testified that she saw a man later identified by her as Wallan, dragging another man by the shoulders out of the driver s side of the car, leav ing the car door open. The latter dropped to the ground as soon as the first man let go of him. Mrs. Lawrence also thought she heard a man's voice saying "If that's what you want, I'll give you all you want!" Leisurely Walk Then, she said Wallan walked leisurely to the garage a few feet distant, picked up a board about three feet long and six inches wide, returned and began slamming the board up and down "just as fast as he could," until the board split. Mrs. Lawrence said she just stood there and couldn't move. Next witness to be called was Swan Johnson, who also lived across the driveway in the third cabin from the street. Box Thrown Johnson said he had just re turned from a dinner and had been home about five minutes when he heard a commotion He testified that he looked out the window and saw two men standing in front of the garage. One man suddenly threw tome-, thing that looked like a box at the other man. Then every thing was quiet for a few min utes, and Johnson started to get ready for bed. V However, a few minutes later, when he heard the little Bow man girl scream "That's my daddy," Johnson went outside. He said he saw a man swing ing a board up and down until it looked like the board must have split. Wallan then began to hit with the side of the board. Only the head, shoulders and arms of Wallan could be seen by Johnson. Found Bowman As Johnson started to walk towards the scene Wallan walk ed away, and Johnson found Bowman lying in a mud puddle by the side of the car. The wit ness then dragged the body up on the Bowman back steps and went to notify the state police. In cross examination by J. C. O'Neill, defense attorney, Johnson stated that while he was preparing to go to bed after having looked out the first time, he thought he heard a voice saying "Have you got enough, or do you want some more?" Dr. George Adler, coroner of Klamath county was next called to the stand. Adler testified that In the autopsy it was. de termined that Bowman had ap parently died from a diffuse hemorrhage of the brain as sociated with a fragmented frac ture of the skull. State Trooper on Stand Walter S. Walker of the state police, next witness, said that he met Wallan at Hendricks drug store about 10 p. m. Walk er said that he was in the drug store when Wallan came in, his clothes untidy and splashed with water and mud over the front. Wallan said "he'd hit a man down the street with his fist" and wanted the police to in vestigate. The two drove to the Bowman home where Walk er found the victim on the BUSTER CRABBEE in 'Billy The Kid And Smoking Guns" IND HIT A New Chillmfe of tha Underworld I "FORGOTTEN GIRLS" f . step. After a brief examina tion, Walker took Wallan to the county jail. On the way there when questioned by the officer, if he were sure that he had used only his fist, Wallan, said "Yes, but I was pretty damn mad, and I might have hit him with something else." Find Bowman Fred J. Thomas, also of the state police, testified that he was in the patrol office when John son came to notify him ot the crime, and that he and Johnson drove to the Bowman home where they found Bowman ly ing where Johnson had left him. At this point the state brought in two pieces of board, which Thomas identified as the ones examining Bowman at the sceno, ot the crime, and which had apparently been used by Wal lan. State police officer, Clyde Lowry, was next called to the stand to testify that he, upon examining Bowman at the scene had found a sliver sticking in the front ot Bowman's clothes. This was about 10 inches long and tapering to a point. This piece of wood was also brought in by the state. Hair Examined State Police Sergeant Earl W. Tichenor said that he had found three hairs on the boards before mentioned and had sent them to the crime detection labora tory in Portland, along with a sample of Bowman s hair. Last person to testify Wednes day afternoon was Dr. Joseph Beeman, director of crime de tection laboratory for the Ore gon state police at Portland. Ho said that he had examined the hair from the board and also the sample of Bowman's hair and that one of the hairs from the board seemed to correspond with that of Bowman's.

Roosevelt Vetoes Bankhead Bill Raising Farm Prices (Continued From Page One) author of the measure, said a determined , effort would be made to override the veto, de spite the president's assertion tnat. exclusion of benefit pay ments m figuring farm price parity lormulas would be in flationary in its effects and dangerous alike to our con structive farm policy and to our whole war effort." Parity Price (Parity prices are those in tended to give a farmer the same purchasing power of non farm goods that he had in some past favorable period, usually 1909-14.) In the senate, however, there was a disposition among some members to regard the measure as having little effect either up on inflation controls or farm prices. unimportant Senator Ball (R-Minn.) said he did hot think the bill "important one way or another." "It s only effect would be on corn and wheat," he said, re ferring to the fact those two commodities now are selling at less than parity and thus might benefit if parity price ceilings on them were raised. Chairman Smith (D-S.C.) of the senate agriculture committee said he was disappointed but not surprised by the veto. Adding: Administration Plans "I wonder just what the ad ministration plans to do about the farmers? This was a good bill and a just one. Parity pay ments should have nothing to do with the price of what a farmer sells." Smith hesitated to forecast whether the veto would be over ridden. .
