Varied Ideas On Fringe Suburban and rural toning was agreed upon as needed, but the methods of accomplishing it ci.me in for varied opinions at a meeting held here yesicrday on the occasion of a visit to Klamath Falls by the state com mittee named to study the problem. Klamath's highly developed fringe area formed the back ground for a lengthy discission, with Commissioner William Eowes of Portland, head of the governor's committee, presiding at the conference. Bowrr ex plained that the committee is investigating opinion ovei the state as to the need for an en abling act which would permit county courts, when asked to clo so, to set up county zoning tommittecs. These committees would establish zoning regula tions in certain areas outside in corporated cities, in order to promote the best use of land and an orderly pattern of develop ment, cities aireany nave gen eratlv ndoDted znnlntf nrosrams. Ned Smith and Alva Lewis, officers of the Suburban league which is active in the nearby southeast suburbs, said they thought zoning important, but Klamaths Deny Fremont Blow (Continued From Page One) these men returned, some of the Indians wanted to follow Fre mont and annihilate the entire expedition, but the wiser ones advised against it and won out, otherwise Fremont never would have gotten out alive. The Klamath Indians are proud of the fact that they have been able to withstand many injustices practiced upon them like the Fremont episode. Modoc war, exclusion of lands from the reservation by so-called er roneous surveys, claiming of school lands, swamp lands, etc., most of which the federal courts have upheld our aboriginal rights, established bv treaty, in which the U. S. supreme court has declared our treaty is as sacred as any treaty made with a foreign power. that a Delaware scout, named Crane killed a Klamath chief. No Klamath chief was ever kill ed by Fremont's expedition. Some old folks, women and chil dren were killed on Williamson river, May 12, 1846, which Fre mont says is the date he battled Klamath Indians. The inconsistency of Fre mont's story regarding the Klamath Indians is proof that not all of his story is true, in vour story you mention one place that "Next day they (Fre mont's men) moved south along the lake, probably to Barkley springs." It would have been im possible at that time for Fre mont to have followed the lake from the Williamson river vicin ity to Barkley springs because the rock slide came right down rather steeply into the lake it self, preventing any travel even by foot along the lake. The route followed by Fremont was over what is now Chiloquin ridge and thence south to where the Ma rine barracks are situated. Even the Indians did not try to follow the lake shore on foot or horse back. The Indians used canoes along this shore and also to get to Klamath Falls. The Klamath Indians have for given and forgotten the episode, including other injustices prac ticed upon the Klamaths and sincerely hope that the future will not be like the early past, with its malice and treachery, but instead, full of kindly co operation and honest dealing as the Good Book says.' Sub-committee, authorized by the: Klamath Tribal Business Committee By Clayton M. Kirk Tulelake Growers Building Elevator TULELAKE, Aug.-9 West, Lyon and Pinhall, grain and potato growers, are building a grain elevator just off the Al turas highway. The elevator will have a capacity of 5000 sacks and will be a laminated structure covered by sheet metal. The building is to be 35 feet high and arranged so that one railroad car can be loaded with grain every 45 minutes. Southern Pa cific is planning to lay a 500-foot spur to the building. The elevator will be completed in approximately six weeks. Former Resident Hurt In Tumble From Tree Mrs. George Gardinier, form er resident of Klamath Falls, now living in Clatskanie, Ore., was injured Saturday when she fell from a cherry tree. She was taken to the Emanuel hos pital in Portland where she is suffering from a broken pelvic bone and a compressed ver tebra. According to a letter re ceived from her by her sister- in-law, Mrs. Frank Gardinier of 2Z0 Lincoln, she will prob ably be in the hospital for four months. Drunken Indians Get Tulelake Jail Terms TULELAKE, Aug. 9-Two Chiloquin Indians appeared be- Capek Thursday morning and were charged with being drunk and disorderly. They were Mar vin Thompson, 23, and Ralph tester, 24. They were fined $15 but as they were unable to pay, tlie Judge sentenced them tc four days of labor. Expressed Area Zoning that the authority might best be vested in a zoning committee set uv for individual areas and made up of residents of those areas. Lewis, in particular, said ht was wary of any scheme which would impose any outside zoning regu lations on the suburban district in which he resides. Southeast Area Active Lewis said that the southeast suburban area is now forming a fire district, is considering a sanitary district, should have a road district, and might well or ganize a planning or zoning dis trict. Smith said there is con siderable sentiment there for a sanitary district, and petitions are now being circulated for a tire district. It was emphasized in the dis cussion that there is at piesent no movement under way cither inside or outside the city to bring about early annexation of large suburban areas to Klamath Falls. Proposed annexation of tne small, closely-attached area at South Sixth and Shasta way. coming up in November was regarded as a separate matter with different factors involved. Bowes and his committee said thev were deeolv impressed by Jie extent of suburban develop ment here, and also by the amount of building now going on in the areas they observed. They asked numerous questions about present and future popula tion, industrial and business de velopment, and other matters. Thev were told that school census figures indicate the pres ent population of Klamath Falls and its immediate suburbs is about 30,000. divided possibly at about 18,000 in the city and 12.000 outside. In 1840, the divi sion was about 16,500 inside and 10.000 outside. One estimate for 1950 was 35.000 for the "metropolitan area" with about 20,000 inside and 15,000 outside. Local people said they be lieved any new large industrial plants would probably be lo cated outside the city in the nearby area. After the meeting, the state committee left for Bend to gather more information and opinions before drafting sugges tions for the governor and the legislature.

Solon Predicts Raise In Taxes WASHINGTON. Aug. 9 Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio, republican national committee campaign director, said today President Truman's revised bud get estimates mean the people can expect only "higher and higher taxes and more and more spending" at the hands of the democrats. Brown, in a statement issued by national party headquarters today, said the revised estimate is "accepted in the spirit in which, presumably, it was given as a political issue In the 1946 elections." "Mr. Truman," Brown added, "has talked about balanced bud gets before, and before him Mr. Roosevelt talked about balanced budgets for many long years, but every result was the same more deficits and more debt." Referring to the new estimates of tax collection receipts. Brown said that by the time the reve nue books "show how much Mr. Truman's estimate is in error, the election will be over.

Aug. 9 (P) A for eign office spokesman said today that if any "violent or sudden" threat to British lives or prop erty took place In Iran, Britain would nof be obligated to con sult the United Nations security council but would feel justified in taking "unilateral action."

The first announcement of the hoop movement, which came fiom the Indian government, said the troops were being sent in case of any disturbance. Labor difficulties recently have plagued operation of the British owned oil installations. The spokesman told a news conference a state of "law and order" did not disappear gradu ally and "there may not be time to consult the United Nations." When a questioner remarked that the United Nations security council was permanently in ses sion, the spokesman replied, "the security council has no troops."

Murium Is head of UNRUA operations in Germany, , McNarney Informed a news conference that the army al ready had prepared plans to take over the administration of displaced persons camps from the United Nations relief and rehibilitation administration at the end of the year, McNarney said Poland was "perfectly In the clear" in the evacuation of Jews from that country. He noted the Warsaw government "has passed laws against anti-Semitism and at tempted to resettle Jews from Russia, but it has little control over the large numbers of the Polish population who are anti Semitic." McNarney's adviser on Jew ish affairs, Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein, predicted Saturday that 100,000 Jews would flee Poland within the next year to escape "robbing, beating and killing." Six weeks ago Bern stein said the American zone was caring for 80,000 persecut ed Jews. Scattered around in some pro fusion, not more than 50 feet from the hlghwuy, were the clothes, but no other sign of an apparent owner, The find was reported to the sheriff's office here and Sheriff Lloyd Low and Deputy Jack Francy spent several hours tramping over the Sand creek country but found no woman, no evidence of foul play, no scantily clad wood nymphs or anything except the clothes, which were brought back and lodged in the county jail. Sheriff Low said the cluthing was fairly new and not what any one would throw away. It ap peared to have been discarded about a week before being found. The angle of why two dresses and only one of everything else is also a puzzler.
