"Sir, -Willi ell deference to the

Chicago:

The Idea, of course, lit lo wind
tin the convention In a love leant,
with everybody slapping every
body elae on the back and saving:
"II wnt wonderful, wasn't It? 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. The conven
tion delegates don't know how Ste
venson atanda on any of these ma
jor issues."
r suspect. Senator, fhat'i WHY
Oovernor Stevenson la being draft
ed. 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.

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.

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

Berkeley branch of United Motors
Service, a General Motors subsid
iary. Culhane waa United 'a general
sales manager and resided In De

the guilty person or persons. This

checking several theories but aa
yet had no particularly hot lead.

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

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.
