Fred Peterson, who has been superintendent of Klamath coun ty schools for.28 years, has hand ed the school board his resig nation, effective August 1, and Harold B. Ashley has been ap pointed to take his place. ' Ashley has been district school clerk for six years, and before taking that job he taught in Klamath county schools for 13 years. He was given a one-year contract as superintendent by the school board. . ' Peterson first became super intendent of schools in 1912 and served until 1916. Then ha taught at Keno, Henley and Mer rill until 1922 and was reap pointed superintendent t h at year. He has held that post con tinuously since 1922. He said today that he was re signing because he felt a young er man should take over, but would continue operating his farm on Summers lane. He will also continue to look over con; struction work now underway at Bonanza, Altamont and Ma lin. Almost every unit of the pres ent county school system was built during Peterson's admini stration, and enrollment has dou bled several times. The county school board Wed nesday voted Ora Bray of Cres cent in as its chairman, and E. A. Gowen ot Bonanza as vice chairman. 'The gunfire so frightened tha geishas that they trembled, but Tatekawa told them not to wor ry while they were with him,' Tanaka testified. ' "He slept soundly until morn ing, and then it was too late to stop the incident." " The orders to call off the plbf, Tanaka said, were from the then war minister, Jiro Minami, one of the defendants. - Tanaka, in a tour and one half hour testimony on the Man churian episode, said' the inter nal situation in Japan caused the expansionists to decide to develop Manchuria as a new state of high economic level. A powerful army clique, he said, forced the government to accept its program by threatening to assassinate dissenters.
