At "present the nation's only two railway tieupa caused by strike ac tion of operating employee are that of the OC&E and the much larger Missouri Pacific In the Midwest. Federal Jurisdiction O. W. Lange. representing the Or der of Railway Conductor, aald last night th national mediation board had taken Jurisdiction In the OCAE strike, had assigned a mediator who probably will be In Klamath Falls next week to try to bring the rail road management and the employ es together. The mediation board aked that the worker go back on their Jobs while mediation Is In progress. Lange said last night he had wired Orrat Northern otticial in St. Paul to see If th road would let the employes go back to work with no disruption of seniority and no dis crimination. But at noon today no answer had been received. Deadlock The OCA-E. Jointly owned by Greet Northern and Southern Pacif ic. I under management of ON now. I. E.

The strike Involves six points of friction between the train worker and management and Lange said that In discussions with Manlon sev eral of the points had been com promised tentatively.

Oct. 1 'i It was Up for the Berlin airlift last night. The last plane of the lift, a U. S. air force C-&4. carried news rorre-pondent and coal from Pran.furt to Berlin. A band played and the Templehof commander, MaJ. Oen. John K. Bsrr. hauled out the last sack of coal In the plane. That was the last act In the 15 month life of the airlift. During thoe It months the American ind the British made more than 375 000 flight over the Russian uiockade Into Berlin, carrying more than 3.300 .000 tons Into the beleaguered city. The air lift suc cess forced the Russians finally to back down and lift their blockade. Record Breaker To the end the operation was a record breaker. It had been planned to end October 31, but airmen kept flying In the food and supplies at such a rate that the last plane arrived yesterday, a month ahead of schedule. In closing down the air lift, both the Americana and the British said they would maintain training squadron In Oermany. Representa tives of both nation ald they could start the aerial supply tgatn rapidly should It become neces-ssry. 13 Air Force Men Killed In Crashes Ry The Associated Press Thirteen air force filers died and seven parachuted to safety yester day In flaming crashes In New Mexico, Tennessee and New Jersey.

The Beatty lockup, owned by the county but used primarily for the detention of Indian reservation pris oners on an overnight basis, w a sold over a year ago for $51.50. a transaction the extent of which did not come out until about 10 days ago. Lot Not Vacant Mr. Ethel Casey of Beatty was the buyer. Ostensibly the bought county-owned vacant lot but In ac tuality the lot wasn't vacant. On It was situated the one-story concrete Jail structure. The real character of the sale was learned when Mrs. Casey presented .Ut Aaaaa a sill for 11 "months rental, at $30 per month. So the county, sighting that an embarrassing mistake had been made, took the obvious route of cor rection by mailing Mrs. Casey a re fund of the purcna.se price, $51.60. Check Refused Now the check has been returned to the county, uncashed and with a note from Mrs. Casey saying she in tended to come In and talk the busi ness over with the county court. But In the meantime the district attorney's office mulled over the muddle and came across a law tOCLA 87-701) which may be Inter preted a completely voiding t h ale and rendering the deed to the property given Mrs. Casey Invalid.

That com pares with the 48-dsy supply In IMS. And the coal may last a lot longer than 48 days. Usually a prolonged coal strike shuts down the fuel ungry steel industry.
