PRICK KIVK f'CNTM lfiWa- KLAMATH PALL8, OKKOON,
kthBf Tells f
Copco Poltf trough Stretch Of
Modoc Forest Attacked By Hungry
Porcupines; Sheathing Ends Meats
The peculiarities of the porcupine's palate have cost
the California Oregon Power company a tidy sum in porky
proofing its poles on a line through about 20 miles of the
Modoc nolionol forest north of Canby.
Some time ago Modoc forest men observed evidences
of porcupine ottacks on the poles. The little animals,
mynod in that areo, were gnawing of the base of the poles,
evidently enticed by the creosote used in treating them.
In numerous instances, they hod supplanted this un
usual diet by taking substantial bites out of the cross-orms
of the tops of the big wooden sticks.
This odded up to the possibility of line breakdowns,
short-circuits and resultant fires, and forest and Copco
officials got together to decide on defensive action. There
was a suggestion that extra cross-arms be installed and
treated with poison that would send the porkies tumbling,
but this plan wos rejected for onother considered o more
permonent, ond incidentally more humane solution to the
problem.
It was decided to encase the base of eoch pole in
metol, which would be impervious to porcupine teeth ond
would be so hord ond slick that the little animals could
not get their clows in to climb the poles to the enticing
crosvorms.
Thof hos been done. The gleaming metol con be seen
on the poles to the eost of highwoy 139 for mony miles
through the Modoc. The porkies in that area are getting
along without sumptuous meals of creosote -soaked wood
ond cross-arms.

Senate Plows Into Muddle
Over European Aid Measure
WASHINGTON. July 38 (4o Sen
ator Wherry (Neb.), the republican
leader, said today the senate may
try to reverse its action of yesterday
in sending the European recovery
money bill back to committee.
Wherry told reporters a motion
may be msde to reconsider the vote
which cut off senate consideration
of the $5,723,000,000 foreign aid
measure.
The appropriations group named
a subcommittee consisting of Sena
tos McKellar (D-Tenn.l. Haydn (D
Aria.) and Bridges iR-N H.) to talk
with Lucas about procedure and re
port back to the committee later in

The whole vast Issue was thrown

propriations committee yesterday on
a technical point, leaving the senate
Just where It stood two weeks ago.
Chairman McKellar (D-Tenn)
was expected to call the committee
into extraordinary session sometime
today to decide on a course of ac
tion. Some senators demanded the en
tire recovery program be re-opened.
The economic cooperaUon admin
istration already haa committed
most of It emergency fundi, and
the European recovery program may
grind to a halt before the bill gets
back on the senate floor for a vote.
Briefly, here Is what happened In
