He was then asked about his health during the latter part of 1944, and told of having continu ing migraine headaches for which he required medical at tention, and also said that he was about 40 pounds under his normal weight. Heuvel then said that he left Klamath Falls on January 25 or 26, 194S. Phona Call Concerning the call from Fresno to Patrolman Odell Ol son, he denied telephoning him self but said that he had given another man money to make the call and doesn't know whether the man ever made the call. On cross-examination by Rex Kimmel, Heuvel did not deny that Virginia Gibson and Bcr nice Huff might have been in his office but said he could re call only one time when he had ever interviewed girls . booked for vagrancy more than once, and they were not these girls. He also stated he had never checked the police records to find anything contradicting the girl's statements that he person ally took them to court. Questioned about his disap pearance from jiiamatn talis, Heuvel said that he left in a car with another man whose name he does not remember, and went to Mariposa, Calif., where he stayed with a friend named Knapp. He took a draft card bearing the name of Henry Walter Knapp from that friend's house and about the first of March left there and went on to Arkansas, where he was arrested last June 7. Heuvel was on the stand al most three hours yesterday afternoon. The only other de fense witness was Ruth Ray, manager of the Lake hotel, who brought into court the daily reg ister of her hotel for the period between September 30 and No vember 8, 1944, and said that at that time rates for double rooms in her hotel were $2 and $3. Both Herbert P. Welch and Earl Bernard, Heuvel's attorneys. attacked the moral character of Virginia Rose Gibson and Bern ice Evelyn Huff, the state's star witnesses in summing up their defense before the jury this morning. Welch told the jury the girls "probably came to Klamath Falls to make some easy money" and contended they were "sore at the police at being run out of town." An attempt to get even, he claimed, was the reason they placed these charges against Earl Heuvel. "ThitvaV Argot" Terming the girls' language "thieves' argot," and not the kind of language, decent women would use, Welch'also called the jurors attention to the dress, ap pearance and "length of ankle shown" by Miss Huff on the stand as an indication of her character. Both Welch and Bernard also alleged that Virginia Gibson was a bigamist, in that she is now married and claims to have got ten an annulment from her first husband, James Bailey, from a federal judge. Divorce and an nulment case are not handled "by federal authorities, they pointed out. The girls had also testified that they had registered at the Lake hotel when they were in Klamath Falls before being ar rested, but the hotel register for the period failed to show, the name of either girl. v - Herbert Hoover Plans Fishing Trip MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 31 (P) Former President Herbert Hoo ver is expected to arrive here Feb. 19 for a month's fishing along the Florida Keys.

Buy ft And Run It, Hood's Proposal To Complainants , At Heat Plant Conference (Continued from Page One)' ing to the report was that the interruption of service could have been avoided had the man agement of the heating plant taken precautions last year wheu the first indication of an impend ing lack of fuel was known,, and when the first decision was made to convert to oil. . Answers Grievances Answering the grievances of the committee, Hood said that al though negligence and ineffi ciency on the part of the man agement were partially responsi ble, the inadequate financial support of the plant was the principle cause. The lumber strikes in early September cut the supply of wood fuel so much that it was necessary to draw on the yard supply, Hood stated. "By December 1, we were out of wood fuel. We had no choice but to use oil," he added. Clarifying his position as pub lic utilities commissioner, Flagg explained that PUC's power is limited to rates and not manage ment but that everything possi ble would be done regarding the rates problem. An unusual incident at the hearing was a charge by Fire Chief Keith Ambrose that the heating company's meter on the fire station had been stationary sirce February. 1945, but the citv had received regular bills showing different meter readings and varying steam consumption for the intervening months. Heating company representa tives said they could not explain what had happened, but that they would make an investiga tion of the fire hall meter. Am brose produced diagrams of the meter. Jack Henry of the Eagles lodge pointed out that the meter there had also been unreadable because it Was filled-with water. Travel Expenses Congress Issue WASHINGTON. Jan 31 P) Objections on grounds of "dis crimination were raised in Dotn senate and house today to the army plan for sending families of officers "and certain non-coms to overseas theaters at govern ment expense. ' The war department, announc ing the plan yesterday, said travel at government expense was authorized by law for de Dendents of officers, three top ranks of non-commissioned offi cers and certain civilian em ployes of the war department. Families of other enlisted men would have to pay their own way. Senator Lucas (D-Hl.) told the senate he thought the war de partment "ought to treat these folks alike. Instead of building up morale by the plan, this will tear it down. Senator Hatch (D-N. M.) said it seemed that those who could least afford to pay were being required to pay. He suggested putting all enlisted men on the rree list. !l:ll'l:MIHI TODAY and FRIDAY! 2 Terrific Hits! rjTcrinieCUib 1 j 2ndT 1 Hit! 1 I Mystery j -the- - Hi BUCK Wed I Nan Grey . j .

Flagg answered that a PUC examina tion of the company's meters will be conducted. Other consumers corroborated the reported high rate charges. Lloyd Lamb of Northwestern Theatres in a comparison of the Tower theatre which Is on its own heating system and the Es quire on the Klamath Heating plant's system, stated that the heating bill for one month for the former was $142 and for the same length of time, the heating bill for the Esquire totaled $846. Charges were brought by the city that the steam plant return flow has been hooked up to the city's storm and sanitary sewer system in several instances with out the city's knowledge of the action. The city's system of fiipea is being eaten away by ive steam which escapes at the connecting points. Russian Charges Come Before UNO LONDON. Jan. 31 (VP) United Nations delegates privately ex pressed hope today that the se curity council's compromise de cision on the Russian-Iranian dis pute might point the way to an amicable settlement of the Greek and Indonesian cases which come before the peace agency tomor row. Whether the latter two cases can be settled without UNO in tervention, however, depends largely upon the Russians, who filed complaints with the coun cil charging the British were en dangering the peace by military actions in Greece and Indonesia. The Russians, if they Dress the cases, will find themselves in theunique position of asking the UNO to act in the absence of complaints from the countries in volved.
