Ho will bo hero auoui no v. 10. Favorable Reception Hitchcock, who appeared per sonallv before tho civil aeronau tics' board, said ho felt tho Klamath nrcscntallon received a favorable reception. After he had spoken lor oooui iu mm utcs at tho hearing, tho mem bers spent about that same pe riod of tlmo osklng questions about the Klamath situation. Hitchcock Mild he was asked by tho board, whether he had any preference for cither United Air Lines or Western Airlines, the two trunk lino services seek ing to come in here. His reply was that he had none, but that Klamath Falls wants and needs the service. Hitchcock expressed the onln- Ion that the CAB will follow a conservative policy with respect to establishment or leccicr lines In his appearance, ho spoke In favor of tho Nevada-Pacific feeder line which would link Klamath Falls with Boise, Burns, Lakcvlcw, Alturas, Su sanvllie and Reno. Municipal Airport Hitchcock and Cornelt had an audience with navy officials re garding tho Klamath municipal airport, sito of tha Klamath nav al air station They asked that permanent installations made by tho navy at the field be left there, to bo turned over to the city with tho understanding it could be used by tho govern ment if necessary. No final de cision was determined in this matter, but tho Klamath men learned that tho navy's policy is in lino with their request. Tho navy is forced, however, to turn such property over to the sur plus property agency for dis posal. Legislation affecting this matter may bo introduced in congress, Hitchcock said, 80-Year-Old-Man Burned To Death PORTLAND. Oct. 20 MP) Gustav Zobrlst, about 80, was burned to death yesterday when firo destroyed his small subur ban homo where ho lived alone. The houso was in flames be fore firemen were summoned by motorists. HARVEST FESTIVAL Klamath Lutheran Church Basement Tuesday evening, October 30, at 6:30 o'clock. Fun for all, Orab bag, slides, farm product, special prise, refreshments, exhibit, baked goods. Come and bring the family. Soorubalu. A certain amount of firing sllll was going on in ouior ureun of tho city, but It was re ported that tho situation gen erally was quieter. una veaa The first six hours of tho bottle woro known to have taken tho llfo of ono Indian Sepoy. A British officer and soveral liv dlmi soldiers wcro reported wounded. A Dutch Catallna plana was hit by light machlncgun fire wliila flying 150 feet above the railway station. Tho plane re turned to Batavia without land lug at Sncrubajn. It still was not clear what had touched off the outbreak. Leaf lets' had been dropped on the city warning unauthorized per sons carrying arms to turn in their weapons by Wednesday on penalty of death. British army observers thought the leaflets might have been a partial cause of the clush. Mocstopa, a mysterious Indo nesian whoso name has been linked with tho hostilities, was reported to have fled the naval bane. A British senior staff of ficer said that when ho Informed Soekarno last night of what had happened, tho nationalist leader hud said that Mocstopa held no official position in the native movement for Independence from Dutch colonial control. I arrived at Soerabaja with Soekarno's party before the truco was arranged and had a succession of lucky escapes Shots whizzed over our plane shortly ofter we alighted. Arm ed patrols took us to waiting trucks. Soekarno's aide In a purple fez lifted high tho red and white flag of Indonesia, and wo start ed through the native lines to a British battalion headquarters. At the headquarters the com mander, Lt. Col. A. CrookshanK showed a map of the battle area. Surrounded There were not more than 1.000 Brit sh troons in Soerab aja, ond many of the units were completely surrounded by Indo nesians who probably numbered in the tens of thousands. Explaining that the RAF had dropped leaflets telling tho na tives to turn in their arms, the British officer said: "Now the whole town Is In revolt. A lot of women and children in Internment camps havo been killed. The situation Is completely out of control. The fighting extends over an area seven miles long by two miles wide." Tho British opened up with mortar fire while this conference was In progress. Crookshank osked Soekarno and his colleagues if they would go to brigade headquarters in tho center of the city under a whlio flag of truce. "They don't shoot you," the British officer sold. "See, I've tied a white flag on tha front. You, Soekarno, stand up along side the driver and hold your own flag." Thus Soekarno. standing with his face in the wind proudly carrying his red ana white en sign, went into the thick of the fire from the natives who had gotten out of hand. Ooen Fire The truck had only proceeded 200 yards when a machlncgun opened fire on it. Then an armor ed vehicle which the Indonesians had taken from the Japanese opened fire but missed. The armored vehicle then come up alongsido Soekarno's truck and there seemed to be greeting. Three hours later when we were leaving Soekarno had not yet reached brigade- headquart ers although it was only a 10 minute drive. He apparently reached Indonesian headquart ers and was negotiating tor the truce. Tho fire we experienced on landing was nothing to what we received on taking off. Seven wounded Mahrattas were being evacuated. Machlnegun and rifle lire tore a nole in the tall of the plane. One shot ripped into the wign oi a wounded Maliralta.
