A resolution to thnt effect prob ably knocks out one major argu ment Against Ihe swimming pool ballot proposal. The properly, about two and one- third acres, wan bought several years ago as a potential location for it pool, nnd contains a good hot water well. It la located on the upper end of Main adjacent to Uie Home medical clinic. TYPE But Ihe proposal on the ballot does merely ask Uiat a mill and n half tax levy be voted so that the Recreation Department can build a swimming pool, without specifying whnt type of pool Is to be built or where. The levy wruld raise about 41S0,- 000 In seven year. A strong argument against' the tax levy has been Its Indeflnlteness, and the Council edict that the pool .shall be built on Uie Main Street property In seme measure short- circuits mat argument, nun rc-, malnlng Is the lack ot specification as to tho size and style of the pool. The resolution probably Is blnd Inir unun the Reeieallon Depart ment In that the Recreation Com mittee ns an agent of tho council has to follow the Council s in structions.

Utah Flood Claims Life SALT LAKE CITY Wl More families were ordered to evacuate their homes Tuesday as Utnh's flood waters boiled over highways, covered buildings to their rooftops and claimed tneir first drowning victim.

Bpaun was on tne raft wiui Tom Woods, '10, a lifeguard at River side Gardens from whero tho raft was shoved Into the swollen stream. Woods straggled toward shore and was pulled to anfety by verne uanu, a uooa worxor, Residents of Provo Canyon were told to abandon their homes as tho Provo River swirled over Uie high way at Vivian rarg to A aeptn oi two feet. Flood , experts said the families probably would be isolated If they remained In tholr canyon homes.

Earl Warren believes he hes been unjustly crucified by the medical profession for his advocacy of a type of state public health insurance, the California aspirant for Uie Republlcen presidential nomination told interviewers here Monday afternoon. The plan he espouses, Warren said, is not nearly so drastic as one medicos In California tried to get Installed by legislation back ln 1935, but the same men now are branding it socialism and him a socialist lor oringing u up. Gov. Warren flew to Klamath Falls from Medford Monday af ternoon for a fully-packed hour and a half stop which Included a wel coming at the airport, a court house steps speech that was broad cast over KFLW, nnJ then a Ques tion and answer session with local Republican leaders and the press before he flew on to Portland. STRONG CHANCE He is seeking support in this state's May 16 presidential prefer, ence primary, and there Is a strong chance that although Oregon seems prepared to choose Gen. Dwlght Elsenhower as its GOP presidential candidate, Warren may eventually get on the ticket as candidate for vice President, a spot he held ln 1948 under Republican nominee Tom Dewey. In his public address at the Court house, Warren pleaded for votes not So much for himself as for the Republican party, declaring that only a complete change ot adminis tration in Washington will restore publio faith ln Uie United States government. Ho pledged himself to support the GOP nominee for President, no matter who he Is. Warren characterised the present Demo administration as "old, worn out and breaking open at the seams." In his Interview Warren was asked about the plan for health in surance he had advocated unsuc cessfully, as yet In California. The plan, he said, Is for a vol untary pre-paid medical Insurance which the slate and possibly the federal government would assist by grants-in-aid. The basis of it would be payroll deductions, 1 per cent from employes and a matching 1 per cent from employers, and tne money would be available to help (Continued on Page 4.) Illegal Judge Nixes Government $50 Stamps PHILADELPHIA I A six- month-old federal law requiring gambers to buy g xso tax stamp was declared unconstitutional Tues day by U. 8. District Judge George A. Welsh. Welsh ruled the law was a police measure enacted by Congress un der Uie guise of a tax bill. The decision was handed down on an appeal by Joseph Kahriger, 36, one of seven men facing trial on cnarges oi lauing w ouy uie stamp. In dismissing the action against Kahriger, Welsh said he was not ruling on another secUon of Uie act which requires gamblers to pay a 10 per cent tax on their earnings. Judge Welsh's action was the first judicial ruling on the consti tutionality of the tax. which went into effect Nov. 1, 1951. The legality of the act had been challenged all the way up to the U. S. Supreme Court, but the na Uon's highest court refused to rule on Its constitutionality. The previous attack on the law was made by Hayes L. Combs, a Washington news vendor. He argued Uiat the tax was un constitutional because he said It amounted to a penalty in the guise of, taxes. A special three - Judge TJ. E. Dis trict Court in Washington dismissed .tbevcase on the ground it -was be ing asked to Issue an Injunction to protect a criminal enterprise. The Supreme Court March 3 dis missed the appeal 6-3, the majority announcing agreement with the lower court ruling. The special court commented It thought the tax was constitutional, but said it wasnt necessary to dis cuss that issue since the case was being dismissed on other grounds.'' State Jobless Now 22,722 SALEM W Oregon has 22,722 unemployed nersons. which is 6.262 more than there were a year ago, Uie State Unemployment Compen sation Commission said Tuesday. The commission said 10.000 per sons returned to seasonal Jobs last month. I Payments to jobless workers in April toaled $1,385,294, which was 'a decrease of 34 per cent from 1 March, but (500,000 more than ln 'April 1951. I Payments for the past 10 months .totaled S12.747.141, compared with $9,884,071 in the similar period a year ago. Bakery Strike Suffering Low By The Associated Press The Washington-Oregon bakery strike apparently was causing little hardship on its fifth day Tuesday I with customers shewing they do mot live by bread alone. I Small neighborhood bakeries throughout the area were helping lo fill the demand caused by the strike of 10.000 workers against the area's major wholesale bakeries. Many restaurants were baking bis cuits and muffins lor customers who normally eat bread. In Olympia and Centralla, the bakers agreed Monday to return to work after employers approved a contract clause granting Satur days and Sundays off, Frank Hoov er, international representative of the AFL-International Bakery ft Confectionery Workers' union, said. Salem, Ore., bakers operated un der a similar understanding. The major demand of the strik ing workers is a five-day week allowing Saturdays and Sundays cff. All was quiet Tuesday on the negotiation front and picketing con tinued in the major cities. Spokane reported 16 retail shops and two house-to-house bakeries continued to operate. PorUand stores hoped to replenish their sup plies from upstate bakeries. In Seattle, strikers postponed their picketing of the bakeries of three major department stores un til Wednesday, pending an attempt to arrange for their reopening.

Council Sets Midnight For Change By HALE SCARBROUGH Klamath Falls goes on daylight tlmo Wednesday, but only partially. The City Council Monday night adopted a resoutlon putting city business on a fast time footing aa of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, and rec ommended to businesses and Indi viduals that they do the same. The Klamath Merchants Associa tion and probably most or all busi ness houses and offices In Klam ath Falls will go on daylight time. SNARL City schools, county schools, railroads and the air line remain on standard time at the present, and Sacred Heart Academy like wise remains on standard time. However, a Joint meeting of school boards was to discuss the sltuaUon Tuesday afternoon. A change la possible as far as the schools are concerned. Oregon Tech will shuffle Its classroom schedule to conform with time downtown, but probably won't change the clocks. That's because over 300 On students have Jobs In town. The Klamath Falls Post Office goes on daylight time. . Klamath County remains on standard time, so the clocks wiU be different at tne uounnouse man at the City Hall, a couple of blocks VAV Taverns and night clubs must remain on standard time, and also liquor stores. . The two radio stations. KFLW ! and KFJI. will go daylight time. ' The resolution passed by the City Council is without compulsion. Is Just a recommendation. And it spe cified no date for a resumption jof standard time. Mayor Bob Thompson said It probably would come soon after Labor Day in September. I OTHER POINTS ' About 20 cities In Oregon now have adopted daylight time, al though Uie state as a whole re mains officially on standard time, by order of Gov. Douglas McKay. Medford merchants last week tried J voluntary daylight time, open ng and closing stores an hour ear lier without changing the clock, but Monday gave it up as a bad job and returned to standard hours. The Medford City Council is to take up the question Tuesday night. The Dalles City Council Monday night voted to remain on standard time. There has been no Indication that any of the smaller towns will lol- ww ine lead oi Klamath Falls ln adopting fast time. Rural senti ment is almost entirely against it. Florida, Ohio BULLETIN BELLE GLADE. Via im Sen. Russell nt IS vnli Kn ' Kefauver only one In complete returns irom tne first precinct te report In Florida's presidential primary Tuesday. By The Associated Press Voting was heavy in Florida and Ohio Tuesday ln primary contests that held a great deal of Impor tance fcr at least three presiden tial' hopefuls. In Florida the key contestants were Sens. Kefauver of Tennessee and Russell of Georgia, both seek ing the Democratic nomination for president. . And Sen. Taft of Ohio was plug ging for a big vote ln his own home state. A poor showing there ! would crimp Taft's chances for the Republican nomination appreciably. A record vote of 1 'A million was expected ln Ohio, where Taft and his lieutenants put on an intensive drive for votes for delegates pledged to his candidacy. The Florida primary was Ke fauver's biggest hurdle since he defeated President Truman ln New Hampshire. In most other primar ies, in which he was undefeated, he had only token opposition, if any, Florida Is the first state ln which Russell's name was printed on the ballot. Bright, warm weather presaged a possible record vote in Florida. Long lines of voters awaited their, turn at many Miami polling places. It wa the first popularity pri mary in Florida in 20 years, and the contest was heightened Mon day night when Russell stated for the first time that he would not lead any bolt from the party.
