We lomol our differences, we all Rot together on a OKAND candidate and now we're going home Just one bin happy family." I wonder. Senator Kefauver doesn't arem loo hmv about the Impendlnit "drnll" of Oovernor Slevennon. He tella a meeting of Ilia supporters I his morning Uial II la a SYNTHET IC draft. He added: "The people are entitled lo know how the candi dates stand on auch questions aa the J'sft-Hsrtlev law, fartn leglala tlon and civil rights.

He has kept mum on all these hot Issues. When anybody has asked how he Ice In about this, that or the other prickly problem, he haa shrugged his shoulder and replied: "Oh. I'm not a candidate, ao It doesn't ins iter what 1 think." From all I can r-eef. Oovernor. Blcvouaon In a pretty Rood man, but I think Senator Kefauver haa chosen the rluhl word In describing Ins impending draft a "synthetic." It all deiiends, of course, on who Is doing the drafting. If It la agreed and understood that the drafting la being done bv the "wheelhorsea" ol ihe Democratlo Pariv. there Itn'l much room for argument. But If It In Intended to Imply that the "draft" of Stevenson cornea clear . up from the grassroots, that It Is being done, perhapa reluctantly, In renonse to a clear and unmlitake able call from the rank and tile of the people all over and In all walks of life, I'd aav the word "synthetic" la accurately applied to II. Personally, I never heard of Oov ernor Stevenson until a few weeks ago when It began to be apparent that Ike waa pretty likely to be the Republican nominee and It ao some tall scratching would have to be done to dig un some Democrat who could be made to appear as Ihe spontaneous choice of the peo ple. It waa then, aa I recall It. that the build-up for him as the draftee began. At any rate, the dictionary defines "synthetic aa "artificial; NOT genuine." I'd sav that Mr. Kefauver hna defined the Steven son draft quite accurately. At the moment of writing this, vine big convention questions seems to be will the Southerners WALK OUT alter all the honeying up to them of the past day or ao? Well, some 80 years ago they seceded from the Union. They MIGHT aecede from the Democratlo party If they get mad enough, II Is obvious that most of the Democratic maneuvering In Chi cago has been designed to keep the Southerners from getting mad enough to walk out.

Realtors Back 1-Way Traffic One-way traffic In downtown Klamath Falls, plus a new S. 6th viaduct and establishment of a truck route on Plum Street or In that vicinity la the recommenda tion of Ihe Klamath Board of Real tors on this clty touchy traffic handling problem. " A letter carrying th08 recommendations--was eenl to ie City Council by Uie Board of Realtors, signed by Oomer Jones, president, and Anne Mason, secretary. The real estate men took a stand somewhat contrary to the position of the Klamath merchants Assoc iation, which a few weeka ago vot ed to unalterably oppose the estab lishment of one-way traffic routing In Uie business district. Last month the Oregon Highway Department, reporting the results of a traffic survey It conducted In Klamath Falls, recommended aa a first priority step the Institution of a one-way traffic system. It sug gested using Main and Klamath, or Pine and Klamath, or Klamath and Walnut for channeling tralllo through town, as well as using 8th snd Hh for one-wsy travel between the business district and the rail road tracks. As a aecond priority, the High way Department suggested viaduct Improvements, probably a new ov erpass alongside the present via duct, so one-way travel could be maintained on both structures. Other suggestions of the Highway Department Included both an east side and a west side bypass, one taking traffic from the north or south around town on US 87, the other connecting Kit Carson Way with Oregon 66 and Oregon 39 southeast of town. Hie Merchants Association took exception to the one-way traffic Idea, Inferring that It would route trucks down through the most val uable property In town. Now the Klamath Board of Real tors, after discussing Uie situation and the highway report at a spe cial meeting July 16, has recom mended that a new 8. 6th viaduct be built, that one-way traffic be Instituted on 5th and 6ih or 6th and 7th and also on Klamath and Main. The recommendation also sug gests, that Plum Street or some other street In that vicinity be pro vided as a truck route, preferably by the Highway Department, The City Council so far has been mum on Ihe whole suggested street program. Iran Rioting Grows Worse TEHRAN, Trail Ml A frenzied mob of1 50,000 screamed anew Wednesday for the death of former Premier Ahmed Qavnm and anti American feeling rose in Tehran In the wake. of Mohammed Mossa degh's latest triumphs at home and abroad.

Robinson (left) of tha Klamath Mill Work and Supply Co. and Forest Cullen, 2249 White Street. Tha men ara pondering tha detail of a naw window frame, Jones Max Have Died Fighting By WALLACE MYERS An autopsy has Injected an im portant new angle Into the murder Saturday afternoon In Crater Lake Park of two General Motors execu tives. Dr. George Adler, coroner, found in examining the bodies of A. M, Jones and C. P, Culhane that Jones had suffered a fractured skull and severe bruises In tha groin. However, the doctor said both men had died as the result of single gunshot wounds In their heads. Jones, whose home Is In Con cord. Calif., was manager of the Berkeley branch of United Motors Service, a General Motors subsid iary. Culhane waa United 'a general sales manager and resided In De troit, Mich. FBI AGENTS Several crack FBI agents are working around the clock to nail the guilty person or persons. This morning, the agents said they were checking several theories but aa yet had no particularly hot lead. launane and Jones were en route to a Union Creek fishing cabin when they were waylaid, Tobbcd and murdered. Tbe bodies were BODY RETURNED General Motors sent a DC -3 plane here last night to pick ap the body of C. P. Culhane and return It to Detroit. The plane ar rived at Municipal Airport at mid Bight and took off for Michigan at two o'clock this morning. found by a search crew Monday afternoon about one-fourth of a mile back In the woods Irom the highway. me two business men naa stopped their car about three miles Inside Crater Lake Park at a scen ic viewpoint. Frank Eberleln and Jack Vaughn, of Klamath Falls were to join Culhane and Jones at the Union Creek fishing cabin- When Eberleln and Vaughn drove into tbe park about 45 minutes be hind Culhane and Jones, they came upon the parked car and stopped. After about an hour, Eberleln and Vaughn became alarmed at tha continued absence of Culhane and Jones and notified park rangers. A search was started Immediately ano culminated in we iinouig 01 the bodies Monday, FEDERAL LAND The FBI was called in on tbe case because the murders occurred inside the park, which, is federal property.. ueorge . yuniin, . tne rugmve mountaineer, has hot vet been erased from the field of suspects by the FBI. Dunkln Is said by state police to have killed State Patrolman Phil Lowd June 24 on the opposite side of the mountain ridge from where Culhane and Jones were murdered. Although a state police officer close to the Dun kin case said yesterday It was "virtually impossible" for Dunkln to hare killed Culhane and Jones, the . FBI men this morning said they had not yet written Dunkln off their list. The state police officer- said he could not elaborate on his certainty Dunkln had not murdered Culhane and Jones. The officer said to do so might impair the possible cap ture of Dunkin. TOUGH MYSTERY The mystery of Culhane and Jones' murder is particularly tough because of the mute evidence of the crime. Both men were cruel ly gagged but neither had been bound in any other manner. The skull fracture and groin in jury to J one a revealed by the autopsy offer new theories on the murder. It has been hard thus far to Imagine why the killers would take the trouble to fix the gags and then murder Culhane and. Jones. - Jones' skull and groin wounds (Continued on Page Four)
