Hut what form the nlr force, opposition nmy nssunio Is not yet clear.

One aspect of the Oregon primary voting that of Ktaen vs. Dewey ha focused the attention of the nation on this state, even to the point of throwing m shadow over stiile and local races which are ac tui lly more lmorlant. Jlarold Bias sen of Minnesota and Tom Dewey of New York have made a personal tight for the Oregon OOP presiden tial preference, but It unfortunately does not follow that the man Ore gon favors will be the next repub lican presidential nominee. Many VUlls Riassen, Dewey and all four OOP candidates for governor. John Hall, Doug MrKay. John Peyton and Olen Ackerman. have visited Klamath Falls and consequently have stolen a lot nf thunder from local candi dates. They've hsd rallies, banquets, radio time, billboards, placards, handshaking experiences and clubs have been formed. Klamath county has not been slighted on the state and national scene. j In the strictly local picture, the ' multi-candidate sheriff race has almaat been the whole ahow, but the primary ballots will display a break down of offices and candidates like thla: ' Phil Hitchcock and Marine- Peter son are sole candidates for state senator. OOP and democrat, re spectively. For Klamath county's two seats In the state legislature, there are three republican candidates. Ed Oeary. Ed Ostendorf and Carl Stelnselfer. and two democrats, Henry 8emnn and Tom Bustln. Vote for two. Several county spots are uncon tested, among them: D. E. Van Vector. OOP. for district attorney; C L. Langslet, demo, treasurer: C. R Del.sp. OOP, clerk; Dr. Oeorge H. Ariler, demo, coroner. Commissioner For county commissioner there is a little race for the republican nom Inntlon between John Reber. Incum bent, and Ed Gowen. Ouy Bellant Is the democratic candidate. Olen Ter rlll Is unopposed for the OOP nom Inetlnn as tax assessor and Otis Mrtsker Is likewise unopposed on the democratic ballot. That brings the list down to the office of sheriff, where there Is a record-hrenklng total of III candi dates. With so many In the race, choosing a winner Is matter of drawing straws. Candidates are: Republican Ouy Barton, Jack Froney. Dean Hall, Oeorge Uerllngs, Jack Llnkenback. Fenton Mahrt. Karl Dehllnger. Dale Mattoon. Opal Manning, W. F. Swlgort. Joe Oreen's name Is on the ballot but he has withdrawn In favor of Jack Franev. Democrat Red Mllhnrn, Wallv Moss, Mike Williams, R. A. La Lcnde, Sid Herbert, Larry McLane, Willis Pnnkey and Frank 8teele. In addition to the offices enumer ated, local ballots will contain pro visions for voting for convention delegates, presidential electors and national parlv committeemen and women, plus four strictly local tax measures, Three-of the latter, for recreation, parks and Llnkvllle cemetery, are tor Klamath Falls voters, and the fourth, a road levy, Is for all voters In tho county.. r fmmmi-rrt'r 1 1 ma W milim sssassssaPawpassm evwjw :'''.V;:'''KOI A il !

Herald And News - KFLW Slate Fast Ballot Coverage They soy it's the most vital primary election in three decades and The Herald and News and KFLW will give it fast, complete coverage Friday night in keeping with that idea. Coverage will start when the polls close at 8 o'clock. Herald and Nows-KFLW representatives will be at precinct polling places and the county clerk's office, and information will be flashed to the newspaper office where a big election night party will start at that time. The public is invited. Blackboards will be in operation in the newspaper lobby, giving a complete run-up on returns as fast as they come in. Beginning with a two-minute preliminary at 8 o'clock, KFLW will carry bulletins and summaries throughout the eve ning and early Saturday morning, with emphasis on the hour and half-hour as "election report time." I EVERYBODY IS INVITED TO VISIT THE NEWSPAPER OFFICE, TO MAKE TELEPHONE INQUIRIES AT ANY TIME, AND TO LISTEN TO KFLW.' tlons, restaurant, garages, hotels and othen who benefit directly from travel through this area. If these people ore willing to give the necessary financial aid to tourist promotion, the funds will be pooled and apportioned to each of the groups on a percentage basis. Such funds would supplement the substantial budgetary Items of the chamber for tourist promotion and community advertising. The chamber some weeks ago In dicated Its Intention of withdrawing for this year from cooperation with the Shasta-Cascade association, an interstate organisation. But Fred Hoagland and Martin Brauner of the chamber recommended other wise this week upon their return from the Shasta-Cascade convention at Lakeview. They said their sug gestions at that convention had met with approval, and they felt it de sirable to attempt to continue affili ation with the group. Klamath county will attempt a c trtbutlon of $4000 for Shasta Cascade. The tentative suggestion for US 97' Is $750 for this county this year. While Klamath is not a mem ber of the Three Flags association, t US 395) It does hope to make a small financial contribution to that group not only as a neighborly ges ture but because travel and develop ment on 395 is of Importance to the entire area here. Arab Troops Drive Into Garrisons By DANIEL DE LITE WITHIN THE OLD CITY IN JERUSALEM, May 2 P Arabs expect a decision today or tomorrow In the bitter battle for Jerusalem, a high Arab official said last nighL King Abdullah's Trans - Jordan Arab legion and Arab volunteers were fighting Israel's Haganah army and the Jewish Irgun Zval Leuml and Stern gang Inside and outside the old city's walls. Deep Strike Inside, the legion, more than half way through the southern Jewish quarter, bombarded a small Haga nah garrison spasmodically for IS hours yesterday. Outside. Arab forces cleared away nearly all Jews to the north, east and south and struck deep into modern Jerusalem to the west. The Arab official estimated the Jews' strength In Jerusalem at 8000, bat only 40 were said to be holding out In the old city. He did not give the number of Arab fighters. (The Egyptian defeiue ministry said last night Egyptian troops have occupied Beit Hanun. "one of the strongest points in the operational theatre,1' In their northward drive up the Palestine coastal plain. (Beit Hanun is five miles north east of Gaza. It miles from Jewish claimed territory and 36 miles from Tel Aviv, center of Jewish author ity.) Truce Fails A n American Belgian - French commission acting for the United Nations tried in vain again yester day to work out a truce to cover all Jerusalem and protect Christian, Jewish and Moslem shrirtes in the old city. Arab and Jewish representatives talked peace terms once more but broke off negotiations after an hour. Munir Abu Fadil. Arab police chief of Jerusalem, said the Jews "wanted war and they are getting If "It looks as If they are going to fight ta the last man." he said.

Cat Has Long Ride From LA To Klamath A grey-striped torn cat howled his way from Los Angeles to Klam ath Falls In an overnight Orey hound bus before he was rescued by a well gloved mechanic here yesterday. The bus reached Klamath Falls Monday night and the cat was heard meowing somewhere Inside the walls of the bus body. Early yesterday morning the de pot agent called West-Hitchcock corporation for a mechanic and Bill Franks responded. Franks looked over the bus, settled on a logical place for the cat and found the grey fellow with Its hind legs caught between the gas tank and the edge of the body. Putting on a pair of leather gloves, Franks pried the cat s legs loose and then pulled the animal free. The cat was apparently car-sick ! from hla long ride and staggered around the Greyhound depot lor a, . while until he ' regained his equilibrium. A short time later, Tom took off for a residence near the depot and an effort to find him proved fruitless. Franks said he thought the vi bration of the bus probably set tled the tom's body into such a position that the animal was wedged tightly between the tank and body. The animal did not ap pear maimed in any way. Non-Striker Fires Shot; Guard Called WATERLOO, la.. May !

Tarasenko pointed out that King Abdullah's Arab legion Is subsidized by Britaln and has British officers. For this reason, he said, Britain must take responsibility for the legion's actions, Britain affirmed yesterday in London that the British would con tinue contributing $8,000,000 an nually for support of Trans-Jordan's forces.

Stassen's conten tion that a Taft-Dewey combination is spending $230,000 to defeat Stas sen in Oregon's republican presi dential primary election. Stassen made that statement at North Bend, Ore., yesterday in his campaign for Oregon's 12 dele gates to the GOP national conven tion. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York called it a "pipe dream." Taft and Dewey are contenders with Stassen for the republican nomination. Stassen Is opposed by Dewey in the Oregon race. Taft is not entered. Toft Issued this statement, which sale in part: "I can state unequivocably that no Taft committee or supporter has spent one cent in Oregon, nor have w participated In any other way In the Oregon campaign." Officials Get Red Faces Out Of Kid's Rule ZANESVUXE. O., May 20 W The unexpected happened when high school seniors took over city offices for the day yesterday. Townsfolk expected the seniors to have fun "playing" mayor, po lice, chief and other city officials. They had fun all right and the adult officials had red faces be cause: Jack Harker as police chief staged a series of gambling raids. "Mayor" Aubrey Stbbrtng and "city solicitor" Frank Shurts Jr., went along. They confiscated a jar with gam bling slips in one place, broke up a poker game and found a pull tab board. Harker didn't file any charges, although he claimed he had full legal -authority to do so. While this was going on, "fir chief" Charles Cooper, "city audi tor" Henry Abele and "safety di rector" John Montgomery tried to condemn the high school building as a fire trap. The real school officials. City Superintendent Donald Summer! and Principal Ralph Storts, fore stalled this with a few quick con ferences after city fire Inspector came to look over the building.

LIVINGSTONE PORTLAND, May 20 (At Ore gon's bitterly fought republican pri mary campaign drew to an acri monious close today last of the presidential primary trials before next month's nominating conven tion. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, who for three weeks have made Oregon the nation's foremost presidential battleground, brought their campaigns home at a gallop. Stassen publicly charged an "eastern combination of Taft Dewey forces" was spending $250. 000 In Oregon to stem the Stassen election tide which started in Nebraska and Wisconsin. The New York governor retorted that this represented "reckless and flagrantly untruthful statements," and "desperate. Irresponsible, eleventh-hour tactics." Tiny Fraction His campaign expenses, Dewey said, "are not a tiny fraction, of the ridiculous sum he mentions, and he knows It." The Mlnnesotan's reference to a supposed Join-up of Dewey and Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio was labeled "unfounded and false." Stassen forces replied late last i night through Stassen headquarters here with the statement: "We are willing to rely upon the good common sense of the people of Oregon to decide whether or not the amount of eastern money and the number of New York state em ployes, from the superintendent of banking on down, which are being poured Into Oregon In tills 'stop Stassen' campaign, are out of pro portion to an honest appeal for their votes." Stassen's original charge, made at Astoria, stated: "Obviously, the 12 Oregon votes to the national convention are not the cause of this huge expenditure. Desperate Try "This eastern combination of Taft-Dewey forces has been making a desperate attempt through this Oregon primary to stop our nation wide public support," Dewey's answer said "It Is sad dening that Mr. Stassen In the final days should degrade the campaign by such reckless and flagrantly un truthful statements ... I have come to know the people of Oregon and I know they will resent and repudiate these desperate. Irresponsible eleventh-hour tactics." Oregonians had first-hand evi dence on billboards. In newspapers, and over the radio that both sides were running up campaign Dill. But heretofore the highest cam paign expenditure In Oregon ha been the $64,000 reported In the 1944 senatorial race. More than 300,000 republicans ar registered to vote In tomorrow' polls and the total registration of around 630.000 Is the highest In Oregon's history. Heavy Turn-Out A heavy tum-out was a foregone conclusion, with prediction for 65 to 70 per cent among the republi cans. Completely overshadowed by the neck-and-neck presidential scrap were primary contests for governor and a full slate of lesser state of fices. Senator Cordon was unop posed In the republican primary. Today the last day of the cam paignfound Stassen In a driving finish around Portland to be cap ped bv an old-fashioned torchlight parade through the street ef Port land tonight, Dewey was taking It a llttl easier. He scheduled a visit to. the Shrine hospital this morning and conferences the rest of the day here. Both candidates were to make final pleas over state-wide radio networks today and tonight. Polls open tomorrow at I a. a, and close at t p. m PST. , i
