And from now on, Lester will probably shy clear of the Wild West at least this portion of II. A far at police could determine, Wilton got together with four members of the Klamath Indian Tribe last night for drink ing party at the home of Ann Mary Brown, 1425 Pleasant Bt. According to Marvin ltsso one of the four arretted Wilson psssrd out and the women, Ann Brown and Mary Hewitt, pro ceeded lo cut off Wilton's hair, his clothing and then painted Ilia body with Merthiolate, so he looked like totem pole. About that time Wilton apparently awoke from his stupor lie It being held on drunk snd disorderly conduct charges in Ihe City Jail so the women, with Lf Boy Hoover and Isaacs, decided lo hsve some more fun.

When officers arrived, old 'Totem Pole" was still trying to get In out of the nippy night air and the other four Indians were embroiled In a battle royal In the street. Police bundled all four, and "Totem Pole" too. Into the paddy wagon and booked them at Ihe Jail on charges of drunk and disorderly conduct.

The flash lasted , perhaps a sec ond and a half and then the fnmlll ar greyish brown column of smoke and desert dust rose Into the air.

Lion Gives Cops Scare PORTLAND W Policemen Oren Olln and Dayton Strickland thought It was some sort of an April Fool joke when the radio dispatcher told them to go to a waterfront area and pick up a lion. They drove there and whoops there was a Hon. Quickly they called the dispatch- er. who Just told them to go ahead and pick up the lion, then take It to Ray Park in a nearby lumber office. Gently they opened the rear door of the police car, and invited the lion In. The darned cat lumped right in and settled down for a ride. Olln and Strickland got to the lumber offlco In a very shirt time. Out walked a lumber firm employe, put a rope around the lion's neck and led it into the office,' explain ing It had escaped from Owner Park through an open window. That's when the policemen learn ed it ned nil happened before. The lien, called Tanya, escaped last November, and after almost fright ening two patrolmen off the force, proved completely lame.

The detonation apparently oc curred at low elevation, perhaps 1.000 feet. It did not appear as large as most of the seven weap ons which were tested here last fall.

Telephone 8)11 No. 37KS Russ Chief Says Reds Seek Peace NEW YORK, W Prime Min ister Stalin said Tuesday a third world war Is no closer now than it was two or three years ago that is, before the Korean out break. The Soviet leader sent this mes sage to a group of U. S. newspaper and radio editors who had solici ted his views. The answer was another in a series of statements that have come from the Kremlin to response to requests from the West. Some U. S. of fids Is say Stalin answers such queries when the action fits Russian, propaganda aims. James L. Wick, Miles. Ohio publisher, announced the exchange, as follows: Q. Is a third world war closer now than two or three years ago? A. No. it is not. Q. Would a meeting of the heads of the great powers be useful? A. PDssibly it would be useful. Q. Do you consider the present moment opportune for the unifica tion of Germany? A. Yes, I do. Q. On what basis Is co-existence, of capitalism and Communism possible? A. Peaceful co-existence of cap italism ano communism Is quite possible if there is a mutual desire for cooperation, if there is a read iness to fulfill the undertaken obli gations, if there is observance of the principle of equality and not interference In the internal affairs of the other states. OLD STIFF There was nothing1 essentially new in the Stalin statement. He said m" FtibruaryV 1961. thai', a third world war need not be con sidered inevitable. U. S. officials, in general, have said Stalin does not want to go to war under the present condi tions of Soviet armament. Gen. Eisenhower and Washing ton leaders have declared that the rearmament of Europe will stav his hand. A proposed meeting of the lead ers of the big powers such as btann, president Truman and Prime Minister Churchill has been a subject of debate for years. Stalin said in Jaunary. 1949, he had no objection to meeting Presi dent Truman at a mutually ac ceptable place but restricted such meeting places to areas under Soviet control. Truman has said he was willing to see Stalin in Wash ington. If anything. Tuesday's response that "possibly" such a meeting would be useful is an Indication that Moscow is less interested in such a meeting than it was a few vears aso.
