Fire Destroys Spud Cellar i Fire Oils mornlrtg that destroyed i a potato cellar on the Sanford : Jones lanch, live and one-haf miles cast of Bonanza, added up i to a total loss of between 30 and 40 thousand dollars, according to Mrs. Jones. Bonanza and Malin firemen called to the ranch were practically helpless because their hose would not reach the river, about one quar ter of a mile away. In the potato cellar was seed valued at $20,000, farm equipment valued at $10,000 and Incidental Items. A truckload of lumber parked In the cellar was saved through efforts of C. J. Andrews, Bonanza firemen. Andrews dashed Into the smoke and flame-filled cel lar three times before he was able lo secure a chain to the loaded truck so that it could be hauled to safety. Cause of the blaze Is unknown Mrs. Jones said the cellar was well-built and all electric wiring was in conduit. The fire was discovered about 4:45 a.m. by Mrs. Jones brother, Paul Mauldin. who lives across the road from the cellar. Mrs. Jones said there was little insurance to cover the loss. Police Hold Two Drivers Sevcrlno Alvarez. 3841 Austin St forced the wrong car off S. 6th St. near Madison Ave. about 1 a.m. Friday while driving down the left side of the highway. It was a State Patrol car Al varez met head-on. The officer said he swerved to avoid a col lislon, took chase, and found Al varez' vehicle crossways to the highway with Its front wheels high on a snowbank at the Madlson-S. 6th St. Intersection. Alvarez was booked at the Coun ty Jail for drlvintr while Intoxicat eu and held under $250 bond. Another near head-on collision resulted In arrest by State Police Thursday night of Silvio D. Reg nanl, Montague, Calif., on charge oi passing wun insumcient clear ance. The arresting officer said he witnessed Regnanl's car nass a southbound truck on the crest of a mil near Butt's Service Station on U.S. Highway 87. The officer said an oncoming car was forced to swerve into the service station lot to avoid a crackup. Regnanl was cited to appear In District Court Saturday on the charge. Spud Offering Speed Same PORTLAND Wl Potato offer ings here were In Just about the same numbers Friday as earlier In the week and that was unex pected. An added 10 cents a hundred weight went on the ceiling price Friday and it had been thought In local trade circles that rather slim potato offerings were the result of holding back for the Friday ad vance. The day brought little change, though. There has been agitation for a general area price boost which may have been a further factor. Although the potato deliveries have been under expectations, most retailers reported an ample supply for week-end trading. I are the main points of the report: Q. What sort of living standard prevails In Russia? A. In general, except for the special privileges enjoyed by the party and government there Is a low material standard ol living In the U.B.8.R. and this bureaucracy In a source of discontent, of bitter ness among various levels of so ciety and ol much crime and other social problems. Q. What la the attitude of the City School Population Hardest Hit Influenza has swept across Klam ath County In a wide wave and in epidemic proportions this week, with youngsters In schools appar ently bearing the brunt of the at tack. Klamath Falls city nehools re ported 22 per cent of the elemen tary students were out of classes yesterday because of the "bug," while Kl'HS reported 420 students failed lo report to their classes. Today Asst. Principal Paul A nit stead said the situation was "bet ter." He said the Illness appears to concentrate In the 12 to ls-year-old age groups, though adults are susceptible. Seven teachers at KL'IIS are out, be said. County Schools, too. were under going a siege of the same disease, with Super. Carrol Howe, report ing as much as 30 per cent of the students absent from one suburban school. Outlying schools, he said, hadn't felt the touch of the flu as yet. As in Ihe city system, Howe said there were a number of county school system teachers sick too. The substitute teacher pool, he said, was "being taxed." Evidence that the present wave of flu can get to adults was regis tered In the fact that one state policeman, two city officers and a city firemen were also reported "off duty" with the sickness. Sacred Heart Academy appeared to stand alone In the city as one school putting up resistance to the Illaess. Sacred Heart officials said only -four of the 100 high- sohool students were reported ill with flu, and only six of 200 grade school students. County Health Officer Dr. Seth Kerron told students that once forced down by the sickness, they should stay in bed for three or four days and fully recover. Too many youngsters, he said, stayed home for a day andthen relapsed while attending school too soon at the same time exposing other students. One more suffering agency In the epidemic is The Herald and News circulation department. Mgr. Maurice Miller said today that a full 25 per cent of the carrier force has been put out or commission, and since emergency crews are delivering many routes, some pa pers may be late and some skipped He asked tnat suoscrioers wno had not received papers by 6:30 p.m. phone the Herald and News, 8111, and a paper will be sent out on the late delivery, which leaves at I p.m. No papers are delivered after that time, he said. Bonus Bonds To Be Tried SALEM tin Oregon will try again within the next 10 days to get federal approval of a 40 mil lion dollar veterans' bonus. That decision came out of a meet ing between veterans' organization leaders and Governor McKay and State Treasurer Walter Pearson Thursday. The state officials decided to re apply to the regional Federal Cred it Restraint Committee lor author ity to sell financing bonds. The credit committee several months ago rejected Oregon's ap plication as being Inflationary. Bond brokers cifstomarily do not buy state bonds without approval of the committee.

He told an audience Thursday night his source of information is the best selling book "Washington Confidential" and letters from bro ken homes. "Washingtonians should blush for tneir city," he declared. Graham said no generation in history has been so sex-conscious as the present. "No age." he went on, "ever emphasized it more or enjoyed it less, according , to Uie psycnoiogists. The evangelist derided modern authorities on sex. He said the Bible has the final answer to the problem. Thnt answer, he said, "is hell for those who transgress the moral law."

What are the prospects of war estimated from the perspec tive of the escapees? A. They appeared to believe "that war between the U.S. S R. and the United States is almost In evitable. It con be prevented only if the Soviet leaders feel that their opponent in so strong that war will be sulcldlal for them and their re gime." Q. What specific reasons did the ment of the gathering when he said, "It's too late to pray when the devil's got you. It's time to get out and work now." "If we've got something con structive to offer," Clark said, "let's get out and do It." Mrs. Olive Cornett, Republican national committeewoman from Oregon recently returned from the National Committee meeting at San Francisco, opined the Repub licans had something constructive to offer. Decoy Aids In Theft Of Funds PORTLAND W Some one shouted, "help," from the rear of the Consolidated Dairy Products Co. building. Front office workers rushed back there. They found no one.

That's the way It must have been, they told police after dis covering 180 in cash and $49,000 in checks missing from the front office. The checks, which were not ne gotiable, later were found on the street, two blocks away. Parents, Patrons Council Favors KF Youth Center Action on Klamath's Juvenile problem, growing out of the Her ald and News-KFLW forum on the subject, was accelerated last night by the Executive Board of the Klamath Union High School Par ents and Patrons.

"As Gov rcrl Warren stated at San Francisco, we do have something constructive to offer the platforms of 1944 and 1948. Those are the aims and ob jectives we must stand by and work wiUi till a new platform Is formulated in the Republican con vention In Chicago this summer." Mrs. Cornett continued it Was the job of Klamath County Repub licans to get out a iuu per cent vote si so that the sum total of ef forts in other counties will result in a victory for Republicans. She stated the precinct commit teemen and women are the "broad foundation of the national organiza tion." In connection with the Republi can national convention to be held In Chicago, Atty. U. S.
