Byrnes retorted that he was willing to have the treaty run for 40 years, and that It "did not seek to cover everything or to settle reparations questions ond political questions and other question that hud been under discussion." Byrnes also cited his proposal to send a four-power commi aion Into all four lone of oc cupied Germany lo Investigate the extent of German disarm ament and demilitarization.

WEDNESDAY. For Some Rang horse and mules. In Lake ranch recently. Much of Mule ware turned back on th ; Liskey Horses Go To Europe One hundred head of stock, running on the 20,000-acre range of the Dave and Dan Liske; Swan Lake ranch, were on their way this week to Europe where they will be distributed by UNRRA to deoletcd farms in war torn countries. The horses, along with a num ber of mules, were brought in during a two-day round-up last week by Jack Liskey, Gory Mit chell, Larry "Buck" Anderson and Newt Nelson. Of the 153 horses brought in from the hills, 53 were cut out as saddle stock and turned back on the range. The 162 mules were also turned back and will be shipped later to work in the cotton fields of the deep south. Some of the stock, now on their way to Europe, is from the original stock which the Llskcys put on the range some 30 years ago. Quite a few are broken, some are wild. For those th"t were designated for farm work in the old country, it was their last round-up. They will work in the fields of Belgium, Russia, France and Holland from now on. Mr. Dan Liskey said ar rangements for, shipping the horses from cast coast ports were made through George Martin who has been buying for resell to UNRRA. Nearest shippniR points arc Baltimore, Md., and Norfolk, Va. Horses shipped to Europe will bo used for both breeding and draft purposes and will replace the stock which was removed from occupied countries during the war. Mrs. Liskey said the domestic demand was meager but the demand from Europe was great. Draft horses shipped overseas were mostly of Percheron stock, and the saddle stock left behind is a mixture of standard bred crossed with thoroughbred stal lion. . D. C.

Second Potato Plant Building Construction of a second pota to products factory to serve the basin area was under way just south of Merrill when it was an nounced that Klamath Falls Po tato Products Inc. had purchased the John H. Degnan potato cel lar and nine acres adjacent to that structure from Lewis S. Kandra. The potato cellar is to be con verted into a factory, officials advised, and the adjoining acre age will be the site of the large factory which will be erected as soon as equipment arrives from San Francisco. Approval for the remodeling : of the Dcgnan cellar was given when the civilian production ad ministration at Portland gave the nod of approval on July 2. According to a story received at that time over the Associated Press, the building was to cost $16,000, and equipment $75,000. Four different products will be manufactured from potatoes at the new Merrill plant, but only two will be produced im mediately. These two products are understood to be starch and alcohol. Norman W. Remscn, treasurer of the Klamath Falls Potato Products Inc. is in Klamath Falls and Merrill at this time, accept ing machinery delivered from San Francisco and getting ma terial in shape for the factory, which is expected to be in oper ation by September 1, in time to handle the fall potato cron.

The sailor was wanted in San Francisco for theft of the ring and the watch from a woman acquaintance. U. S. Refuses To Recognize Russ Seizures In Austria VIENNA, July 10 ) The United States government an nounced today it would not recognize the Russian confisca tion of German properties in the Soviet zone of Austria which fell into the category of forced transfers as defined at the London conference of Janu ary, 1943. At that conference, the allies agreed that they would not rec ognize the transfer of proper ties to German ownership in German-occupied areas if such transfers were made forcibly, even if there was apparent will ingness on the part of the for mer owners. Gen. Mark W. Clark, U. S. commander in Austria, an nounced at the same time that the United States was prepared to turn over to Austrian trus teeship ' all ' German assets in the American zone pending ne gotiations of the allied powers on the U. S. proposal to re nounce the American share In German assets in Austria. Clark presented the Austrian government . a . communication from President Truman, only three hours after Chancellor Leopold Figl had appeared be fore an extraordinary session of the Austrian parliament to announce his government was not prepared to accept the Rus Transport Plane Strikes Hillside In New England HOLYOKE, Mass., July 10 OP) Twenty-five army, naw and coast guard men the entire crew and passenger list of a con verted Flying Fortress carrying the homeward-bound servict men from Gander, Newfoundland were killed last night when the plane crashed against 1200-foot Mount Tom. Salvage crews summoned to the scene of New England's worst air disaster, labored today on the mist-shrouded hill that rises, anrupi and alone, above the Connecticut valley not far from Westover field In nearby Chicopee, where the plane was to have landed at 9:27 EST, last night. The broken bodies of the occupants, whose names were with held pending notification of next of kin, were scattered among the plane s wreckage along a 400-foot swath shorn by the crashing B-17 through dense woods zoo feet from the hill top. Bodies Recovered Army rescue forces ' who struggled up a steep, cobble stoned road, reported that by daybreak: they had recovered PALMER, Mass., July 10 (P) State police reported to day that a C-47 army transport craahad in flames here and that eyewitnesses law seven parachute In the sky. about 20 bodies and had taken them to Holyoke funeral homes. Five bodies were believed still in the smoking, charred wreckage that was spread in small pieces over the quarter- mile-square area. During the morning, many hours after the crash, the woods itill were smoking and occa sional bursts of flame kept army guards busy with port able extinguishers. Engine na celles end mangled parts of the fuselage still gave ott an in tense heat. Army officers speculated that the pilot, possibly unfamiliar with the terrain, did not ob serve the mountain until it was too late. TvDical GI mementos of a happy home-coming that be came a grim tragedy dotted the charred ground. Effects Scattered There were personal snap shots, obviously of parents, wives and sweethearts. A gold wrist watch, that somehow withstood the shattering crash, glittered among the ashes, its hands stopped at 10:20, the ap proximate time oi ine crasn. Music Tecords of" the" V-dise type distributed to armed serv ice centers, were strewn among the wreckage. Charred and torn parachutes, unopened, lay in piles. There also were navy pea jackets, . burned shoes, wallets, blankets, and several letters. Army officials said the let ters were destined for the Unit ed States from the overseas service men. Westover airfield officials said identification of the dead would be impossible for an in definite period;. Most of the bodies were bad ly dismembered by the impact of the crash that hewed down trees a foot in. diameter. Senate Approves Compromise Bill WASHINGTON, July 10 (iP) The senate approved today a conference report on a hillion dollar rivers and harbors bill. The measure now goes to the White House. Action came on a voice vote which isn't recorded. The house approved the report yesterday after conferees reduced a $150, 000,000 authorization for - the Arkansas river to $55,000,000. Another billion dollar bill authorizing flood control projects moved nearer final congressional action with conference commit tee agreement yesterday on sev eral projects added by the senate. sian interpretation of German assets in the Russian zone. The United States' pronounce ment was certain to have the heaviest reverberations in Aus tria, where the red army's sud den order transferring a large share of Austria's industrial po tential to the Soviet Union had caused consternation. . The pronouncement conclud ed with these words: 'The United States govern ment also wishes to make clear that it will recognize no physi cal transfer of property as con forming to the terms of the Potsdam agreement which does not also conform to the terms of the United Nations' declara tion on forced transfer of Janu ary, 1943, and which does not leave to Austria the sovereign control ot an independent coun try over the resources within its borders, which was envi sioned in the Moscow declara tion of 1943." There was no immediate re act i o n to the United States note from the Russians, but Austrian government sources exnressed great satisfaction. Properties claimed by the Russians represent a large pro portion of Austrian industrial capacity and their loss at this time would be a severe blow to the Austrian economy. Senate Cuts Dairy Curbs From OPA WASHINGTON, July 10 fP) The senate, rapidly loading down the OPA renewal bill with exemptions, voted today to pro hibit price control of milk and dairy products. The amendment was written into the one-year extension measure by a roll call vote of 81 to 27. . Earlier today, cottonseed and soy beans were exempted by a 42 to 34 vote. The flood of special treatment amendments began yesterday with adoption of meat and poul try decontrol, 49 to 26. Votes still appeared probable on other items, such as tobacco and petroleum. Berkley Glum Majority Leader Barkley, glumly aware of the trend even peiore trie start of today s ses- WASHINGTON, July 10 (IP) Senators Cordon and Morse, Oregon republicans, voted today in favor of an amendment to the OPA ex tension bill exempting milk and dairy products from price control. The amend ment carried. ' sion, told reporters sardonical ly that he guessed he ought to offer an amendment to prevent price control of okra, broccoli' anrl artlohrvlrM . . .. . . Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the republican whip, sponsored both the meat and dairy decon trolled. . Earlier, Barkley had told his colleagues he would call a night session tonight if there seemed any chance the legislation to re store OPA and some of its pow ers could be shoved to a final vote tomorrow. J On the 10th day of no OPA operations, Barkley argued that speed is important if any price and rent controls are to be re stored. : The senate worked in the shadow of a possible second ve to of an OPA extender. A bi partisan majority was set to ban any future price ceilings on milk, butter and cheese. Milk Prices Go Up Here Milk prices rose from 15 to 17 cents per quart here this morning. The price raise is nec essary to take care of govern ment subsidies which are no longer in effect, dairymen say. Commercial or coffee cream prices rose to 37 cents a pint and 71 a quart. Three months ago prices on the same product were 27 cents per pint and 60 per quart. One Klamath dairyman ex plained the price hike in sim plest terms saying that the con sumer is now paying the full price for his milk, absorbing tho government subsidy which went off with the death of the OPA. A maze of conflicting orders leaves ine wnipping cream situ ation in a state of confusion to day. One local dairy here re ports receiving a department of agriculture order to withhold sale of the cream as of July 1. Following the order the dairy took whipping cream off the market until the OPA went out of existence and there was no enforcing agency left to handle the order. Today the dairy again had its whipping cream on the shelves of local stores. Other local creameries say that they have never received such. an order and have contin ued to sell whipping cream, which is on the markets at a retail price of 27. cents a, half pint and 50 cents a pint.
