the torrent swept down the sparse-
ly-setueo valley.
Survivors in the narrow channel
of destruction said they didn't see
the sudden flood surge coming.
The first warning for some ol them
was when their houses began to
move.
Mrs. Alfred Webb, one of three
others rescued and brought to a
hospital here, said she first knew
of the flood when she looked out a
window and saw a rabbit hutch
floating down Wenas Creek. The
house dropped into the stream
seconds later.
The storm, which struck without
warning' in late afternoon, also
brought heavy rains and strong
winds to the Yakima area In gen
eral and to a large sec tor of
Central Washington. (
Heavy crop losses were feared
and there were Interruptions of
some power service and traffic
arteries.
Trees fell across many highways
and power lines.
Highway traffic to Ellensburg
was reported on a one-way basis
Monday morning.
The Northern Pacific railroad
had a washout between Yakima
and Ellensburg. An official of the
road snid the route probably would
be out for 24 to 36 hours but
trains were being routed over
other lines.
The rain flooded streets In Yak
ima. Winds were estimated at 50
miles sn hour or more.
Especially heavy damage to the
hop crop was feared. The exten
sive Yakima Valley fields were
near the picking stage.
There were no early estimates
of over-all storm damage.
In the Wenas flood there were
some narrow escapes by the In
jured. Wlnchell, husband and father of
the missing pair, and his daughter,
Sharon, escaped from their house
after It had washed downstream
about 150 yards.
Sharon was treated for shock
and severe scratches received
when she was carried against a
barbed wire fence. Mrs. Webb,
Mary Arm Webb, and Mrs. Bill
Ecklcy also were hospitalized,
suffering; from shock and cuts.
Ted Noyes, 17, a neighbor who
helped with rescue efforts said
he drove a tractor down the
bank I of the Wenas after the
flood passed, to the spot where
the Webb home had been.
He sold Webb had Just pulled
Mary Ann, unconscious, from the

Demo Heads

WASHINGTON ( Two of Pres.

tains were at odds today over
whether Congress should be called

dential nominee, said he felt this
is not tne proper time for a special

Other opposition was voiced by

recently granted.
All of these develooments were

pute, settled July 24. The Office
of Defense Mobilization, on that
date approved a half-biUion-dollar
price Increase for steel 44.20 a
ton lor carbon steel and a $5.65
average for all steel. '
Arnall called on Truman 'last
Wednesday. He handed In his res
ignation ana urged tne President
to order a special session of Con
gress. Truman took no action on
tne resignation but said he was
considering a special session.
NO RUNAWAY
In New York, Putnam said on
an NBC radio-television program
he saw no sign of "a runaway" on
food prices. He said he believes a
special session is not needed now,
but added:
"If prices go up In the next
month as fast as thev have gone
up In the past month, yes."
Sparkman. appearing on an NBC
television show from Washington
last night, said he finds the pres
ent price control law inadequate.
But of Arnall's proposal he said:
"We are in the middle of a cam
paign and I don't believe we could
accomplish much. It would run in
to a political situation."
The powerful Farm Bureaus
secretary said the session is "an
obvious attempt to hitch-hike a
publicity ride on the drought
troubles of farmers and to divert
the public's attention away from
recent government actions to boost
wages and prices."
Jsvils wrote Arnall that a special
session would be futile without a
change in farm price policy, which
Javits called "built-in official in
flation." OPS spokesmen said thev expect
to issue the new price standards
within a week or 10 days.

Bonanza Chairman Mrs. Fred

get them to come to Klamath Falls
so the town will be 100 per cent.
Meanwhile a campaign was get-tine-
underway to build ud a big

At that time one unit will be
set ud at the J.C. Penney store

hoping will bring in a record num

and perhaps the state.
The present record, according
to Dr. Seth Kerron, county health
officer. Is at Portland's Meier and
Frank store where 1.026 persons
were X-raved in a 10-hour period.
The operation is to last but eight

Plan Based
On Drafting
Of I (F Mayor
By HALE SCARBROUGH
The movement to draft Mavor
Bob Thompson for another term
in on ice continued to ptcK up
momentum today ... but with one
hitch.
Presumably ThomtMnn Hnn'fc
know anything about it yet,
He and bis family are currently
on vacation somewhere between
here and Victoria, B.C., and ef
forts to reach him by telephone ao
far have not been successful. -The
draft movement, launched
Saturday by a group of business
men, is coupled with a proposal
to institute a vote on the city man
ager plan here as soon osposslble.
The plan Is to see if Thompson
will run again, basing his cam
paign on the idea of holding a city
manager election very soon.
A majority of the City Council
men today said they strongly fa
vored the "draft" proposal and
thought we should have a city man
ager here.
ANNOUNCEMENT
When Thompson announced about
10 days ago he wouldn't seek an
other term In office, be said his
decision was based solely on the
fact that he had to devqte more
time to his business. He operates
the Pioneer Tobacco Company. He
said there would be no doubt about
his running If Klamth Falls had
a city manager.
The job of being mayor of Klam
ath Falls pays Just 1175 a month,
and It is full time work. Conse
quently, it Is extremely hard to
get good men to go after the Job.
The city manager plan has been
brought up several times before
but always has been given a cool
reception by the public. But In the
past few months sentiment seems
to have changed. There la begin
ning to be a realization that Klam
ath Falls is big business and ought
to be operated like a big business.
Under the city manager system,
a trained and specialized adminis
trator would be hired to conduct
and oversee the day-to-day opera
tion of all departments of the city
government, leaving the mayor to
be the city s front man and the
council as the legislative, policy
making ooay.
DEADLINE
Klamath Falls is to elect a may
or Nov. 4 and the deadline lor fil
ing is Aug. 20, just nine days away.
And there are no candidates. With
the limited pay and the unlimited
work the job otters, the possibility
Is strong that the city might come
up with a second-rater in its top
office, and to avoid Just that pos
sibility is why the "draft Thomp
son" movement was begun.
The proposal found immediate
support among the various mem
bers of the city council contacted
bv the Herald and News this morn
ing. Councilman Wendell Smith
said: "It's a great idea, and we
should if possible get it on the
November ballot. I think you'll find
a majority if not all of the council
men feel the same way."
(City Attorney Henry Perkins
said it would be "practically Im
possible" to get the manager plan
on the ballot in November, hut
that a special election could be
cauea soon alter tne first of tha
year, possibly in January.)
ituAuruu man
Councilman Darrell Miller said:
'I'm verv much in favor of th
idea. We must get a qualified man
for general manao-er of our citv.
and we couldn't get one here If we .
para as mucn -as J700 a month.
We U have to go outside the city to-
get a man srjeciallv trained fnr thl
highly specialized Job."
councilman Mark Smith declared
himself all for the "package deal'?
and that he would support ThomD-
son under such a proposal. Coun
cilman Don Kenyon also inllcated
ne wouia line to see Thompson take
the office for another term, but
said he wasn't too sure that the
city manager plan Is the answer.
councilman Aiait nnmgan was
not available for comment
A number of other persons also
express approval of the "Draft
inompsom' movement, among
them Jim Kerns, president of the
Klamath County Chamber of Com
merce. Kerns said he was "very
much in favor" of It.
