wa uncuutrloua nnd did not
como out of the coniatoso coiidl
linn ul any time, Ur, Adler
stated.
Al lirat lliought a victim of n
hlUuud-run auto 'aicliient, tliv
man was moved lo Klumath Val
ley by Ward's. Upon examina
tion by Ur. Adler, bullet wounds
wero lound nnd officers Immedi
ately notified.
Clothing Soakad
Judging from the seriousness
of thu wounds und the time
twing was found, Dr. Adler wus
of the opinion that Ins Injuries
occurred some lime curly Friday
morning. Kwing'a clothing was
saturated from toe rain. Ilo was
dressed In u blue Jumper, army
tun shirt, dink trousers und coat
and a black felt but.
An autopsy was slated for 2
). m. Saturday ut Ward's, Dr.
Adler announced. Much depends
upon findings ut the autopsy, the
coroner observed. If tho bullet,
still lodged in Ewing's bruin,
shows thai It came from a rlfjc,
thero might bo somo suspicion
(hut the shot came from u rifle
In the hands of n hunter. If it
Is a bullet from a small firearm,
such us a pistol, authorities
would bo given ground? on
which to busc a murder charge.
Check Movomants
Little is known of Ewing's ac
tivities the past several days. Of
ficers wcro chocking his move
ments carefully, however, in an
effort to learn details which led
up lo his death.
Ewing's wife, Mary, lives in
Edgemonl, S. D. It is understood
they huvo six children. During
the mouth of August, Ewiug is
reported lo have worked for
Ivoiy Pino company nnd for sev
eral months, "off und on, was
working nt Llskcy's Poo vnlley
ranch. He was lust employed
there October 31.
Not Reported
In Ewing's cflccts was found
a letter dated November 25, and
addressed to hhn at the Edge
monl address, offering him a po
sition us muchinist by the South
ern Pacific here. A ciicck with
ntflciuls showed that although
they had expected Ewing to re
port for work, he had not done
so.
City police records, checked
Saturday, show that Ewing had
been urrestcd September 11,
1944, and again on September
30, 1944, on charges of being
drunk. On both occasions ho
forfaited $10 ball, officers said.
Robbery Discounted
Police were discounting n rob
bery theory in connection with
Ewing's denth. He hnd Just 17
cents on his person at tha time
and had not been employed for
some lime. It Is thought he re
turned hero several weeks ago.
Officers were of the opinion thai
Ewing did not own a car.
State police, sheriff's officers
and city polico were working to
gether to solve tho case. No ar
rests had been made nt a late
hour Saturday.

KEEP PENSIONS LOW,
OLYMPIA. Jan. 13 (P) Leg
islators introducing old age pen
sion bills for "unusual amount'
must keep in mind mat icacrai
participation in this state's pen
sion program can be kept only on
the basis of actual need. Gover
nor Wallgren said today.
The governor did not single
out any piece of legislation eith
er introduced or pending before
the 20th session but commented
ho understood "there is talk" of
a $00 pension bill. Rep. William
Pennock (D-King Introduced the
first houso bill of the session,
asking for a $50 minimum and
an earnings allowance of up to
$25 monthly-
"The federal government will
contribute up to $20 a month on
the basis of need and It is desir
able for us to obtain full par
ticipation," Wallgren snld.
"Tho moment tho state com
mences poylng more than the
federal government considers to
bo actually needed, it will with
draw its participation according
ly. "I personally favor the most
liberal pensions possible. We
nre studying the federal law
closely to find how best we can
mesh in our own funds with
those of the government."
Wallgren said raising the pre
sent $40 pension to $50 and per
mitting pensioners to earn up to
$25 monthly is a necessary im
provement. WEATHER

Comparison With Our Condition
A Year Ago
Many people are genuinely interested in knowing how build
ing and loan associations In general, and First Federal in par
ticular, are getting along in these times when practically no
houses are being built or remodeled. To all of our friends we
are presenting here a brief comparison between the figures in
this financial statement and the one published one year ago.
One year ago we had 675 first mortgage loans on Klamath
Falls real estate and today we have 651. This doesn't mean that
we didn't make any loans all year. It does mean that We made
204 new loans during 1944 while 228 were paid off in full. It
Is interesting to note the thrift of our First Federal borrowers
In paying off their loans. And many of them are putting like
amounts in War Bonds for a home-improvement nest egg.
One year ago we had $1,277,272.00 loaned on real estate
and today we have $1,370,416.00. Our total assets have increased
by $923,953.54. Our reserves and undivided profits have in
creased $28,315.67. And we have Increased' our holdings in
United States Government Bonds by $825,000.00 from $624,
000.00 to $1,449,000.00 in the past twelve months. .,
First Federal continues its policy of investing surplus funds
In United States Bonds. By buying as many War Bonds as pos
sible and BY HOLDING THEM we believe that we are fulfilling
the primary obligation and rcsDonsibility of every American
institution and individual.
