Party Split
WASHINGTON. March g WV
The civil rights fight moved to the
houae floor today with the GOP
leadership apparently ready to aide
with rebelling Dixie democrats.
An odd set of political circum
stances finds the republicans risk

Big Issues
The issue Is: Shall states that do
not give equal educational and Job
opportunities to citizens of all races,
when those opportunities are fi
nanced with federal funds, continue
to receive the money?
An appropriations subcommittee
which wrote the bill said they
should not and tacked on the rider,
or amendment, to that effect. But
the full committee overrode the

A number of other republicans

they are ready to approve it. But
the GOP house leadership is cool
to the proposal and, unless It
changes it mind, will help southern

Military
Still In Offing
Concern Grows
HELSINKI. March 8 IO Finland's cabinet decided today to begin
negotiations with Soviet Russia, a member of the government reported.
Finland is suggesting that the talks be held In Moscow. No
decision was announced on the makeup of the delegation that will
go to the Russian capital to carry on negotiations for the treaty of
cooperation sought by Prime Minister Stalin.
The cabinet minister who made available thin Information said
he could not disclose whether Finland Is advising Stalin she la ready
to negotiate toward a military pact as well aa a friendship agreement.
This reserve likely was due to the desire not to reveal the contents
of President Juno Paastklvl's letter to Stalin before the Russian leader
receives lt.
The cabinet met with Paaslktvl for 90 minutes today.
In approving the negotiations, the cabinet and president followed
the guidance of Finland's six parliamentary groups. The majority ot
these favored conferring with the
Russians.
One reason was that the pro
posal originated with Prime Minis
ter 8talin and had become a matter
of prestige. Another was that the
Finns felt it is necessary at least to
meet the Russians to get a more de
tailed idea ot what they have in
mind.
Two Sites Open
When Prime Minister Stalin sug
gested the talks In a letter to Paasl
kivl dated February 22 and deliv
ered just 14 days ago, he said Russia
would agree to meet either In Hel
sinki or Moscow. Most Finns seem
to want to hold the meetings here,
but others prefer Moscow.
Stalin's proposal for a mutual as
sistance pact like those Rossia now
has with Hungary and Romania has
caused much concern. Most Finns
oppose any far-reaching military
alliance with the t'SSR.
Yesterday, strong-arm men broke
up a mass meeting protesting the
proposed treaty.
Four or five men. described by
authorities as communists, suddenly
appeared and pushed the speaker
aside. They grabbed the micro
phone and announced that the
n'eeting was organized by fascists.
Russians were observed snapping
pictures of the Incident from the
windows of the Hotel Karelia, which
the Russians have taken over.
Fetters Held
Guilty
Of
Manslaughter
Wayne Addison Fetters, 33, was
found guilty of manslaughter late
Saturday at the close ot a three-day
trial In circuit court. The Jury rote
was reported to be 11-1 for convic
tion after more than two hours of
deliberation.
Statutory punishment for the
crime of manslaughter is 1-15 yean
in prison plus a possible $5000 fine.
Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg
postponed passing sentence, saying
that there were some angles ot the
case he wanted to probe farther.
Fetters was convicted of fatally
Injuring Melvln Larson during a
fight at the Fetters' home on Ore
gon avenue last July. He had
claimed that Larson's injuries came
accidentally and that the fight
started when Larson made an im
proper proposal to his wife, Mrs.
Eioise Fetters.
The prosecution presented evi
dence to show that the fight was
unprovoked and that Fetters re
peatedly kicked and struck Larson
about the head after the man was
down on the ground and possibly
unconscious.
Larsen died 2 hours after the
fipht without regaining conscious
ness. Senate

Tribal Pay
WASHINGTON, March 8 OP) A
bill to provide $500 for each member

The senate took out a provision
to eliminate from tribal rolls those
Modoc Indians who now reside in
Oklahoma and have land allotments.
They were entered on the Klamath
rolls 30 years ago.
The bill goes back to the house
for action on the senate amendment.
Heavy Snow Whips Basin,
Ties Up OVS-Bound Traffic
A heavy spring snow storm was in
progress throughout the basin today
and chains were advised in all
mountain areas. The state highway
department reported at 12:30 p. m.
today that It was snowing hard In
the higher elevations and all avail
able plows were called into opera
tion. Sanding crews were hard at
work as highways were reported
slick.
The highway department's biggest
plows, two rotary plows and two big
Oshkosh machines, were digging into
the Diamond lake road after laying
off Sunday. The snow fall was
heavy In that area.
Snow started falling in Klamath
Falls at 7:45 a. m, this morning and
kept up until there was a four-inch
fall on the level by 10:30 o'clock.

Voter List
For County
Pared Down
Voter registrations for the May 31
primary elections are coming In fast
at the county clerk's office, but be
tween 3lx and seven thousand names
are being pared from the Klamath
county voting list because of Inac
tivity during the past two years.
By law, voters who do not cast
ballots In two consecutive general
elections can be cut off the roll In
this state and that work has been
going on for the past two months.
There were slightly over 18,000
registered voters in the county at
last count but the total may be
smaller tor the May election.
Registration deadline la April 30
and a count of the names on the
rolls will be made after that date. -
Many persons are coming In to
register as Independents, office work
ers said, apparently not realizing
that Independent registrants can
not vote in the primary for state,
federal or county offices.
There la no independent ballot
and no Independent candidates.
One exception is In the election
of supreme court Judges on a non
partisan ballot this voting. Inde
pendent registrants may also pass
on any county or city levy measures.
However, they will not be able to
vote In the nominating primary for
president, governor, senator, con
gressman, state legislators, sheriff
or any ot the other partisan Jobs.
Youth Tells
Of Killing
MONROE. La., March 8 OP) A
graunar school boy told police he
shot and then clubbed an aged
farmer to death because the man
teased him about his Inability to
chop wood.
Sheriff Milton Coverdale said th
16-year-old youth confessed orally
yesterday to tiring two shots at the
farmer, B. F. Shepperd, 70, while
strolling down the road target
shooting. Shepperd's bloody body was found
early Sunday, half submerged In s
small creek.
Coverdale identified the farm boy
as a seventh grade pupil at West
Monroe parish grammar school.
Louisiana law prohibits publication
of le name of a Juvenile charged
with a felony. 1
The boy's 30-year-old brother
turned him over to officers, the
sheriff said.
Coverdale said the youth told him
that after he fired the two shots
h. walked alongside the man, who
crawled up the road screaming tor
aid, hitting him on the head with
