And In the same para graph the noise Is likened to that ". . , of distant thunder." This book also talks delicately ubout the reptile's iilglottis. Reluctant to leave the mutter there, The Herald uud News sounded out several lucid per sons on the bull snake question and nil agreed that there is such u snake to be found in the Klamath urea, but none could say with finality whether the creature does any bellowing. Incidentally, what Is known as a bull snake out here is also referred to as u pine snuke. corn snuke, king snuke, leopard snake and fox snake in other parts of the country. Two Senators Given Awards WASHINGTON, April 11 (A') President Truman presented the first annual Collier's awards for distinguished service today to Senator Vundenberg (R-Mich.) and Rep. Munroney (D-Okla.) uud told them they had earned the recognition by bard work. The president said ho hoped the awards, n silver plaque and $10,000 each, would be an In spiration to others in congress to get "nothing but rocks nnd mud thrown ut them most of the lime." Vandenberg directed that his award be given the Red Cross, and Munroney designated the Kpi-scopal diocese of Oklahoma lis recipient of his. A $5000 check which would have been spent for a presenta tion dinner under original plans was given Mr. Irumnn, who said he would turn it over to the Red Cross. He added that he wns grateful that food "thnt ought to go to starving people" would be saved. Owen D. Young, chairman of n national awards Jury, announced the winners just prior to the presentation. The awards Jury included E. Palmer lloyt, editor and publisher of the Denver Post.

Naming Of New Russian Envoy Hailed WASHINGTON, April 1 1 (AP) Diplomatic officials hulled Rus sia's appointment of a new am bussudor to the United States us a fresh sign today of Soviet faith In the United Nations. Moscow last night announced appointment of Nikolai V. Novl kov us ambassador in Washing ton, succeeding Andrei A. Gro myko, Russia's permanent rep resentative on the UN security council. S t a t e department officials later confirmed thnt Russia re cently hud inude the usual In quiries ubout the acceptability of Novikov present charge d'uffnires uud had been told the United States would wel come his appointment. Diplomatic officials who re lated Novikov's appointment to Russia's regard for the UN reas oned this way: If the Soviet Union took UN lightly it would not have ussigiied an official of Gro niyko's stature and experience to devote full time to the coun cil Job. Gromyko's appointment was announced March 24, the day before the UN council met for tho first time In New York.. It wns not until Novikov's ap pointment wns announced, how ever, that the world knew for certain that Gromyko would be a full - time security council member with no ambassadorial chores to perform. Employers Get Nod In Dispute . PORTLAND, April 11 (AP) An arbitrator decided in favor of the employers today In a waterfront dispute, and union officials were debating what action to take. The CIO supercargoes and checkers union walked out of the arbitration hearing March 30, and officially advised the arbitrator, Dr. Blulr Stewart of Reed college, that It would not be bound by his ruling. Stewart ruled today that em ployers, not tho union, have the right to determine how many supercargoes, supervisors and checkers should be employed on a ship. In his decision, he charged that the union had occasionally demanded that more men than necessary be hired. These de mands, he said, "have rested solely on the desire of the union to obtain employment for its members whether or not useful service is rendered the em ployer." His ruling covered all ships in the port. That was the issue which caused the union to leave the arbitration hearing. It con tended that only the American Hawaiian Steamship company, where the dispute arose, should be covered. Mrs. V.

J., April II (Pi A chemical engineer to day suggested utilization of waste wood products as food sources to cope with a "shortage" of proteins in the United btates. Declaring there is a shortage of 20,000,000 tons of proteins in foods available to the nation's people and livestock, Dr. Robert Ickes Blasts UMW Demand WASHINGTON, April 11 (P) Harold L. Ickes today criticized the United Mine Workers de mand for a health and welfare fund as "economically unsound and governmontally unwise." The former cabinet officer mentioned the matter In endors ing a national health insurance program before a senate labor subcommittee. John L. Lewis' insistence that the welfare fund issue receive first consideration has cunently stymied negotiations with soft coal operators for a new con tract. Lewis has not specifically suggested how the fund be raised, but last year he unsuc cessfully sought a "royalty" of 10 cents on each ton of coal mined. Ickes said the proposal vyould give the miners "what would amount to extra-governmental power of taxation to private in dividuals." Let's Send The Kids To Eugene! The Herald and News' per sonal campaign to raise funds to send the Klamath Union high school music department to Eugene early in May where the youngsters will partici pate in national competition, was richer by $60 this morn ing. Andrew Loney Jr., director , of music education in the city schools, advised this news paper that it would take around $400 for fees and transportation, to take the participating students north. There is enough money in the music fund to feed and house the students while in Eugene. The $400, which this paper hopes to raise by volunteer subscription, will pay for the buses and the entry fees. Any Klamath county residents in terested in aiding this worth while project may contact either Malcolm Epley or Lois Stewart of The Herald and News, and their donations will be appreciated. Flushing Meadow Will House UN NEW YORK, April 11 (P) Mayor William O'Dwyer an nounced today the selection of the world s fair site at Flushing Meadow as the interim meeting place of the United Nntions.

Vandenberg Named To Law Committee Circuit Judge Dnvid R. Van denberg of Klamath Falls has been appointed a member of a five-man law committee of the Oregon Association of Circuit Judges, it wns learned this morning, Other members of the law committee include Judges Chnrles H. Combs, Lnkevicw; Forest L. Hubbard, Bukcr: Fred W. Wilson, The Dalles, and Waller L. Tooze, Portland. T. Aries, of New Haven, Conn., told the American Ohcmical so ciety this "could be partly offset by recovering proteins from pulp paper mill wastes. He told the chemists in a re port to their 109th meeting that in addtion to 150,000,000 pounds of yeast and cattle fodder which can be produced annually from pulp wastes a practically inex haustablc amount can be made from sawdust, wood waste and unsalable wood." Field director of the north eastern wood utilization council, Dr. Aries said a waste-utilization project, besides producing high protein food from waste liquors discharged annually into the na tion s rivers and streams, ' would reduce stream pollution . . . and thus curb the annual loss of fish from this cause." For human consumption, he said, yeast contains all the es sential amino acids (protein in Hikes Polio Fund Mayor A. Kalina of Malin to day presented Roy D. Rakestraw, treasurer of the Klamath County Infantile Paralysis fund, with a generous check for S716-52, re ceipts from three years' March of Dimes dances held at the Broadway hall in Malin. The first year the Malin com munity spons6red the dance was in 1933, and at that time all money derived from the affair was sent to the Warm Springs Foundation. The three follow ing years, 1934, '35 and '36, 50 per cent of the money was sent to the Foundation and the re mainder placed in the Merrill bank where it had accummu lated to the amount of $716.52. Since 1936, Mayor Kalina said that Malin had cooperated with Klamath Fajls in tne March of Dimes dances. The fund is now closed at Malin. Three persons were author ized to sign and clear the ac count. They were Mayor Kalina, A. E. Street, Malin school prin cipal, and Ivan Ottoman, treas urer of the Masonic lodge.

Dr. Aries said wood-producing fodder for cattle and poultry would be particularly useful in sections of the country where the bulk of concentrate feeds now are Imported from other areas. Soviets Seen Backing Poles NEW YORK, April 11 (P) Russia was expected today to join in Poland's demands that the United Nations require Spain accused of harboring nazis devising new means of warfare to act in accordance with the demands of interna tional peace and security. Poland's indictment of Spain characterized by the Spanish press as Russian-inspired was brought before the security council late yesterday under a United Nations charter provi sion which states that the or ganization "shall insure that states not members o f the United Nations act in accord ance with the principles of the organization so far as may be necessary for the maintenance of international peace and se curity." Although Andrei A. Gro myko, who yesterday was re lieved of his ambassadorial duties by Moscow to free him for full-time work as the Soviet delegate to the security coun cil, has not identified himself with the Polish charges, confer ence observers fully expected he would give his support to Poland in pressing for action. Potato Shipments In Basin Dwindle . Potato shipments from the Klamath basin have dwindled to a few cars daily since the first of April, according to depart ment of agriculture figures. Over 700 carloads of potatoes were shipped out during March and at the end of the month it was estimated there were about 400 carloads of the 1945 crop of potatoes still awaiting shipment. The limited number of car shipments per day in April, rarely over 10, was partly due to the present sickness of the market and partly because it is getting toward the end of the season Military Experts 3Iap Secret Plaits For U.N. Police Force NEW YORK, April 11 (iP) In the quiet of a penthouse atop a midtown hotel, some 20 men are laying down plans for organ ization of a military force which ultimately may develop into the most powerful the world has ever seen. These experts, moving with all the caution nnd secrecy their job demands, compose the mili tary staff committee of the Uni ted Nations. As the military organ of the security council, the committee members make up a general staff for the world's international po lice force whose task will be to prevent and, if need be, suppress aggression. In the words of the U. N. char ter, their duty is to "advise and assist tho security council on all questions relating to the secur ity council's military require ments for the maintenance of international peace and security, the employment and command of forces at its disposal, the reg ulation of armaments, and possi ble disarmament." An indication of the wide lat- titude that eventually will go to this small group of men can be seen in the charter provisions giving the security council full power to use armed force to give effect to its decisions in cases where it considers that such measures as severance of diplo matic relations, economic rela tions and communications have failed. Such enforcement action, says the charter, may include "dem onstrations, blockade and other operations by air, sea and land forces of members of the United Nations." Chiefs of staff of the big five United States, United King dom, Russia, France and China 'arc permanent members of this committee. For the deliberations to date most of them have delegated top advisers from land, sea air units. The current U. S. representative includes Gen. George C. Kenney, air forces; Lt.-Gcn. M. B. Ridg way, army; Admiral R. K. Tur ner, navy, and Capt. Dcnnys Knoll, navy, secretary. Heat Eases In Bench Sprint A comparative lull in politi cal tension has settled over the courthouse now, after stormy times this past week, but the May 17 primary is still six weeks on and observers are ex pecting more fireworks as vot ing day comes nearer. The principal protagonists of local political activity. Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg and .District Attorney Clarence A. Humble, rival candidates for the circuit judgeship, were busy with the routine duties of their offices today. That race will probably be the only heated one for local voters in the primary, although two republican candidates are bidding for the party nomina tion to the post of county asses sor. Wally Hector, present county engineer, and Frank Z. Howard, surveyor, are candidates for the same job but occupy adjoining offices in the courthouse and both are remaining aloof from noticeable campaigning. W. Lamar Townsend, Klam ath Falls attorney and candidate for the democratic nomination to congress, has a clear field ahead as far as the primary but will have to race with Rep, Lowell Stockman, republican, for office in the general election in November. Townsend, however, has not been idle. He will leave Satur day night for a swing through the second congressional dis trict, visiting Hood River, The Dalles, Pendleton, LaGrande, Nyssa and Bend. The democratic central com mittee held a pep meeting here last night to stimulate party in terest and encourage voter regis tration. The county clerk's of fice in the courthouse will be open tonight and every week day night until the poll books are closed April 16 to register voters. 5 Gl Witnesses Afraid To Talk LONDON, April 11- (fl) Five soldier witnesses said they feared they would be "persecuted" and refused to testify today in the court-martial of Sgt. James M. Jones, charged with mistreating American soldiers while a guard at the Lichfield detention camp. Jones, of Muskogee, Okla., pleaded innocent to 10 counts of assault on prisoners. Maj. Leland Smith, trial judge advocate, then called five enlist ed men who were prisoners at Lichfield at the time Jones was a guard. The five are now serv ing.out terms in the London area guardhouse. One by one, they declined to testify, each stating he was "afraid." FDR's Home To Be National Shrine HYDE PARK, N. Y., April 11 UP) Franklin D. Roosevelt's home and grave site will be dedi cated by President Truman as a national shrine tomorrow in ceremonies commemorating the first anniversary of the late president's death. President Truman's speaking platform will be the same white pillared, stone porch from which .the late president greeted torch light processions of Hyde Park neighbors on victorious election nights.

The lawn and the broad stone porch have been trimmed into a temporary open air theatre for the dedicatory ceremonies by department of interior employes. WEATHER NEWS April It Max.
