France Rejects
Left Wing Rule
PARIS, May 6 ul') French
voters delivering the sharpest
setback to the left wing bloc
since the liberation ot France,
rejected a communist-socialist
supported constitution In yester
day's referendum, complete of
ficial returns showed today.
Totals announced by the min
istry of the Interior Indicated
that the constitution was defeat
ed by 1.170,497 votes. Approxi
mately 80 per cent of the regis
tered voters participated.
Defeat of the proposal means
that France will elect a new con
stituent assembly June 2. This
assembly will name a provisional
government and draft another
proposed constitution for the
fourth republic.
The proposal was opposed bit
terly by the conservative popu
lar republican movement (MHI)
and other right-wing parties, on
the grounds that it would give a
virtual dictatorship to whatever
faction won control ot the legis
lature. Iran Satisfied
With Red Move
TEHRAN, Iran, May 6 (A')
Prince Flrouz, minister of propa
ganda, said today that the Iran
ian government was "completely
satisticd" that tho Russian evac
uation would be completed by
midnight tonight.
Neither tho Pcrslun. nor Rus
sian government Issued a formal
announcement ot the evacuation,
however.
A government spokesman said
the Russians had left four nor
thern provinces and were quit
ting Azerbaijan rapidly, A for
eign official expressed doubt,
however, that the Russians pos
sibly could evacuate Azerbaijan
by today, deadline for the with
drawal of their troops.
Strike Tentacles Tighten
Stranglehold On Country
By The Attociated Prett
As the strike of 400.000 soft
coal miners entered its sixth
week today (Monday) the num
ber of Idle across the nation in
coal-related Industries exceeded
71,000.
Shrinkage of coal supplies
forced millions to realize tho
Importance of the fuel in their
daily lives. In Chicago, indus
tries, business and shops were
restricted to four hours' opera
tions dally, and the city's enter
tainment spots were blacked
out, except for restaurants, after
6 p. m.
Fresh developments in the
coal negotiations were indicated
today when tho government
sponsored conferences were re
cessed suddenly to permit at
tendance ot all operators . at
this afternoon's session.

Flames Gut
State Chick
Hatchery
A apectaculur fire late yester
day afternoon destroyed the Ore
gon Stato chick butchery on
South Sixth near Washburne
way.
Starting at a front corner of
the building, the flames roared
through the entire structure,
sending up a column of flame
and bluck smoke which attracted
thousands of sightseers and creat
ed a serious truffle condition on
South Sixth.
Estimates of the damage today
awaited a survey by Insurance
adjusters, but it was believed to
run upwurds of 140,000 or $30,
000. Much of the destroyed
equipment will be difficult to
replace at this time, adding to
1110 loss.
Short Circuit Probable Cause
Fred Hublcr, manager of the
hatchery, said the fire started in
the vicinity of an electric chick
brooder. Possibly a short in the
electrical equipment of the
brooder set fire to a wooden wall
the only wooden wall in the
building.
The fire was discovered a lit
tle after 5 p. m. Hubler said
thut Sunday afternoon was the
first time in a year and a half no
one was In the building. Fire
fighters broke in the front end
Calls were made to the city
fire department, but the blaze
being outsido the city limits, the
call wus relayed to the county
department. A county truck
responded, and a small note was
strung across .lxlh street from
the Tower theatre. The feeble
stream from this hose proved
effective only In helping stop the
fire from spreading to other
buildings. A spray from the fire
truck tank was used in protecting
a small structure at tne rear
which was used for living pur
poses. Heavy Lots In Eggs
About 90,000 eggs burned.
Monday was to be "chick day
with 10.000 chicks coming off.
About 500 live chicks were de
stroyed.
i lie fire virtually exploded
through a composition root,
sending out huge volumes of
black smoke.
A fuvorublo wind situation
probably saved the nearby Stand
ard Feed and Seed store, large
frame structure. There was lit
tle wind movement and tho
flames shot nearly straight up.
When it was ail over, only the
tile walls of the building were
standing.
The hatchery has been In op
eration about two years. Owners
arc Hubler, Ernest Gicnger and
John Qulgley, who said the plant
was fully covered by Insurance.
Hublcr said the firm will re
establish the hatchery here as
quickly as possible, and mean
while will serve its customers
with chicks from the hatchery at
Corvallis which he owns.
City Firemen Rapped
Hubler expressed himself bit
terly against the city fire deport
ment for not responding to the
call, despite the fact the plant is
outside the city limits. He said
quick work by the city fire de
partment could probably have
saved the plant.
The building was owned by
the hatchery operators. It was
built by the Swan Lake Mould
ing company, and stands on land
owned by the company.
Mine Workers said the miners'
chief has not said a word in the
meetings, leaving all discussion
to his subordinates.
Some government proposal
for ending tho 86-day-old strike
was expected this week, al
though whether it will be sub
mitted this aftenioon was not
known.
As Lewis prepared to resume
his "silent treatment" of the
bituminous operators, congress
made Its first tentative move to
ward stepping into the dispute.
A house Judiciary subcommit
tee scheduled hearings on a bill
to outlaw any form of special
production payments to unions.
Such a law, if passed, would
strike down - Lewis' No. 1 de
mand for a health and wel
fare fund for his, miners.
Lewis held his own counsel
on this maneuver as well as
Mr. Truman's wookend report
warning that the full Impact of
the strike has only "basely be
gun" to be felt.

KLAMATH
Where Fremont Crossed Link River 100
t .I'.i-.-lfiVr---.":.-.
The upper picture' was. made-by an artist who accompanied John C. Fremont when bo visited
Eulalona Indian village at the head of Link river on May 6, 1848. The artist, Mr. Kern, evidently
drew considerably on his imagination, ai present-day observers find few of the features in the
picture checking closely with the lake and mountains as seen today. Below, a present-day pic
ture of Fremont bridge over Link river, at the approximate site oi the crossing. Compare the
photographed mountains with the artist's conception.
Fremont Passed Over Link
River 700 Years Ago Today
One hundred years ago today. John C. Iremont crossed Link
river at or near the present site
The crossing was an incident
large in the history of the west,
turned bark from the Oregon country to take a leading part in
winning California for the United States.
The scene of Fremont's Klamath lake visit on -May 6, 1846,
is now marked by the bridge that bears his name; a marker set
there by Eulalona chapter, Daughters of the American Revolu
tion (marking the site of Eulalona Indian village), and another
marker, which was today moved from Front and California
streets to the end of Fremont bridge. This marker was dedicated
in 1916, 70th anniversary of the Fremont crossing.
It was on May 6 that the famed "trail marker" first saw
Klamath (he called it Tlamath) lake. He had sought this lake on
a previous expedition (1843-44) but on that occasion found big
Klamath marsh to the north, calling it the lake.
In 1848, Fremont and his small force of men (including the
redoubtable Kit Carson) moved out of California, then a Mexican
province, on ouster orders from the Mexican government.
Camps On Tula
On May 1, he camped on Tule lake, at a place now known as
Cornell, and he called it Rhctt lake. He lost three days there,
awaiting the return of a member of his force who went out in
a vain search for game.
He then moved north, probably through Poe valley, and
camped on Lost river, which he called McCrady river. Here is
his own account of the' Link river crossing:
"In the forenoon of the sixth we reached Tlamath lake at its
outlet, which is by a fine, broad stream, not fordable. This is a
great fishing station for the Indians, and we met here the first we
had seen since leaving the lower valley. They have fixed habita
tions around the shores of the lake, particularly at the outlet and
inlet, and along ihc inlet up to the swamp meadow, where I met
the Tlamaths in the winter of '43-'44, and where we narrowly es
caped disaster.
"Our arrival took them by surprise, and though they re
ceived us with apparent friendship, there was no warmth in it,
but a shyness which came naturally from their habit of hostility.
At the outlet were some of the permanent huts.
"From the lake to the sea, I judged the river to be about
200 miles long; it breaks its way south of the huge bulk of Shastl
peak between the points of the
the sea. Up this river the salmon
lake, which is more than 4000
Ferries Stream
"It was a bright spring morning and the lake and Its sur
rounding scenery looked charming. It was inviting, and I would
have been glad to range over it in one of the Indian canoes.
The silent shores and unknown mountains had the attraction
which mystery always gives. Mr. Kern made a picture of it while
we were trading with the Indians for dried fish and salmon, and
ferrying the camp equipage across the outlet in their canoes.
"The Indians made me understand that there was another
large river which came from the north and flowed into the lake
at the northern end, and that the principal village was at its
mouth, where also they caught many fish. Resuming our Journey,
we worked our way along between the lake and the mountains,
and late in the day made camp at a run, near where it Issued from
the woods into the lake and where our animals had good feed. For
something which happened afterward, I gave this run the name
of Denny's branch. Animals and men all fared well here."
(More ot this story will follow on succeeding anniversary
days).

Tojo And
Gang Plead
Not Guilty
TOKYO, May 6 OP) Hideki
Tojo and 26 other war-time lead
ers of Japan today entered stac
cato pleas of innocent to charges
that they unleashed a war of ag
gression and murder in the Pa
cific and were ordered to trial
June 3 despite their counsels'
protest that the interval is too
short.
The Far East -tribunal, before
which the 27 appeared for their
first formal hearing, however,
will convene again next Monday
to permit the defense to renew
its emphatic challenge that the
court has no Jurisdiction in the
pending cases.
Tojo's attorney, Ichiro Kiyose
lost no time today in attacking
the tribunal. He charged that
the court's president, Sir Wil
liam Webb of Australia, has been
so biased by his investigation of
Japanese atrocities In New
Guinea that he cannot Judge!
fairiv ' .- fl
fairly.
Objection Overruled
The motion was promptly de
nied after a ten-minute recess
conference. With Webb absent
from the discussion, eight of
the court's other ten justices
ruled that no objection to any
member can be sustained because
the court's charter provides that
members shall be ot MacArthur's
choosing.
The only defendant not enter
ing a plea of innocent was Dr.
Brumet Okawa, who was absent
from the courtroom undergoing
a sanity examination by allied
psychiatrists as a result of his
slapping Tojo's bald head in the
court last week and other pris
oner's box antics.
Early Use Of
Airport Seen
Mayor Ed Ostendorf said to
day that he expects the interim
permit for civilian use of the
airport will be approved and go
through in the next day or so to
allow civilian fliers to return to
the field.
The interim permit pertains
only to the old municipal hangar
and runways and not to any of
the navy's installations on the
field.
George Johnson and A. W.
Warren, civil aeronautics admin
istration inspectors from Seattle
are in town today making a
thorough inspection of the field
and the results of their tour and
recommendations may influence
in great measure the facilities
finally acquired by the city,
Mayor Ustendorl Delleves.
The navy department' has In
formed the city that air service
operators can resume operations
on the field as soon as the city
makes arrangements for insur
ance of government property at
the port.
The matter of insurance may
come before the city council to
night.

Armed Force
Cooperation
Held Vital
WASHINGTON. May i (AA
President Truman asked con
gress today for legislation au
thorizing a program ot military
collaboration with other Ameri
can countries, "including the
training, organization and equip
ment of the armed forces of ,
those countries."
He transmitted the draft of
a bill entitled "The Inter-Ameri.
can Military Cooperation act,"
and asked its enactment.
Asserting that the American
republics have assumed new re
sponsibilities for their mutual
defense and maintenance of
peace, he said it was "highly
desirable to standardize military
organization, training method
and equipment as has been rec
ommended by the inter-American
defense board."
Broad Program Contemplated
Under the legislation, he said
the army and navy, in conjunc
tion with the state department,
would be permitted to con
tinue in the future a general
program of collaboration with
the armed forces of our sister
republics with a view to facili
tating the adoption of similar
technical standards."
"Certain additional training
activities, not covered by exist
ing legislation, would be per
mitted," the president told con
gress. The president would also
be authorized to transfer mili
tary and naval equipment to the
governments of other American
states by sale or other method.
"The collaboration authorized
by the bill could be extended
also to Canada, whose coopera
tion with the United States in
matters affecting their common
defense is of particular impor
tance." Low Appoints
