Dwlght D. Elsenhower and Oov, Adlal E. Stevenson were pro viding a test today of the harmony and unity within the ranks of their two parties. Elsenhower, the Republican pres idential nominee, talking with OOP leaders of seven Western states yesterday In Kansas City, marie two remarks which raised a ques tion whether he might get kick backs within his own party. They 1. Although the Korean conflict was caused by "terrible blunders" by the present administration, he said, this country had no choice but to Intervene. We might be much worse off now If we hadn't acted as we did, he added. Many Republicans contend that administration "blunders" touched off the Invasion of South Korea, but disagree sharply on the sound ness of Amerlcnn Intervention. 3. An attack on Red China, El senhower said, would mean start ing another war far more terrible than the one now going on. On this point, he seemed to take Issue with Gen. Douglas MacArthur and many GOP mem bers of Congress who have backed MacArthur's proposal that the United Nations bomb Communist China. FIREMEN AND VOLUNTEERS in the picture were saved.

Mi A- ease or en eephalillf, or aleeping alcknesa, waa reported In this Southern Oreson city Friday, the first case In Oregon aince early thla year. This Is the flrat evidence that the California epidemle of Bleep ing alckneaa has moved Into Southern Oregon. Dr. A. E. Mer kel, Jackson County health Of ficer, reported the victim was ex pected lo recover. The Klamath County Health Office reported early this after noon that no cases of the disease had been reported here. SAN FRANCISCO OB A sleep ing sickness epidemic Is creeping northward up California's central aneys, ooriie on me waujs oi me tiny female mosquito, olreaoy Ule uicephaliUs has claimed 30 lives and nearly 500 have been reported stricken, the State Health Department reported. Twelve died wiunn the last week. Doctors are powerless to check the disease. There is no known vaccine for humans. The only hope Is to kill off the mosqultos. Hundreds of men are spraying 276 towns In the valley lowlanos and then laying down quarter-mlle-wlde barriers of pois on residue spray around them. The female Culex Tarsslls mos quitocommon In California car vics the disease from oiras s,nd fowl to horses and humans. It is not carried from horses to humans. A total of 499 cases have been reported to the State Health De partment, but onlv 316 have been clinically diagnosed as encephali tis. Dr. Mnlcolm Merrill, acting di rector of the health department, said the disease ticks qtiicaiy. 'I'nose stricken usually recovered quickly or die within 34 to 48 hours. Dr. Merrill said the epidemic may reach as far north as Shasta County near tire Oregon border before summer Is over. He said, however, that It is not expected to branch out of the Interior valleys. Tile Democratic picture Is this: Oov. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential candidate, may have Irked President Truman an im portant wheel In party machinery with his comments about a "mess" In Washington and possi bly some of his decisions on how to conduct his campaign, t Truman at a news conference yesterday made It evident in sever al ways by what he said, by what he didn't say, and by his fa cial expression that he doesn't like some of the things Stevenson has said and done. ' He gave a crisp "no comment" in answer to an inquiry as to whether he Is satisfied with the way Stevenson and vice presiden tial nominee John J. Sparkman of Alabama have started off their campaign. Some said If he were satisfied, he would be quick to say so. Truman said he knows nothing of any mess In Washington, and would not comment when pressed tor his reaction to Stevenson's news conference remarks that resigna tions and indictments have proved there Is crime and corruption in Washington. Nor would he comment about Sparkman's remark that he be lieved the recent steel strike had boen mishandled. - But Truman said he ' did - net - - - ' Jg , , -.- i..-i.l fP KLAMAT- -O 3N, FRIDAY, AUGUST It, 185?

Lewis and other UMW olllclals to turnover their salaries during the UMW's "memo rial" work holiday to the union s health and welfare fund. Referring to the holiday which starts next week for the nation's coal miners, the local stated In a letter to Lewis that "we can t even collect unemployment com pensation, thanks to our leaders who have blocked every avenue of income." The letter also demanded that the local unions have a sav in their own affairs." In requesting that union officials turn over their salaries, the letter pointed out that the union members must continue to pay dues during the holiday. Pel Ticket Price Told The price on this year's season tickets for Pelican football home games Is $7.50 and that's the only reserved seat season ticket on sale starting Sept. 6 at the Chamber of Commerce. A story in yesterday's psper er roneously staled there were $6 season tickets as well. . .

He said they couldn't, because he is the key to the campaign all the issues revolve around what he has done in recent years. Eisenhower was In Denver today, preparing for his campaign kickotf. He scheduled a quiet day, Sunday he flies to New York where he ad dresses the American Legion's na tional convention the following day. Stevenson, who called Elsenhow er a "me-too'.' candidate yesterday during a news conference, ends his vacation In the Wisconsin North Woods and returns to Springfield, 111., to plunge into preparations for a hard-driving .campaign. He, too, flics to New York short ly to address the American Legion convention, the Democratic state Convention, and he convention of the state's Liberal party. Other political developments: Sen. Kar E. Mundt of South Da kota, co-chairman of the GOP cam paign Speakers Bureau, said last night Elsenhower will "endorse and campaign aotively" for Sen, Joseph R, McCarthy of Wisconsin If Mc Carthy is nominated and asks the general's support. Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney of Oklahoma, chairman of the Dem ocratic Speakers Bureau, promptly called thla "Incredible" because of near the Reames Club.

At mid-afternoon yesterday, two grass fires adjacent to Reames Uolf and Country Club were con trolled by fire crews from the county barn, KFPA, Stewart-Lennox and Weyerhaeuser. . While these blazes were in prog ress, city firemen were called to the Superior Troy Laundry on S. Din street to extinguish a blaze on the roof. Firemen said the lire started around a smoke stack and did only minor damage. tariy yesieroay evening were was a small but extremely danger ous oiaze around a gasoline pump at the Wenner's Signal Service Sta tion. 1406 Main Street. Service sta tion employes said the bumper of a L-r pmimg awav irom uie pump hooked the gasoline hose and broke it, spilling gasoline on the station apron. In some unknown manner, the spilled gas became ignited. The flames were doused before they could do any damage. Last night about 8:15, a truck load of hay belonging to Joe Mil ler Jr., became ignited on Chilo quin's Main Street. The blaze threatened nearby business houses but volunteers got the fire under control with damage confined to the hay. This morning about 8 o'clock, citv firemen went to the home of Hyman Weinstein at 330 N. 2nd Street, where wires were shorted in an electric range. Damage was confined to the stove wiring.

But, he said, at the same time they are incon sistent because they promise to keep all the Democratic "social and economic gains." Sen. Richard M. Nixon of Cali fornia, Republican vice presiden tial nominee, was In Washington conferring with party leaders. Averell Harrlman accepted ' the chairmanship of the Democratic party's New York State conven tion, withdrew as a senatorial pos sibility, and on a television pro gram was non-committal when asked If he would accept an ap pointment as secretary of state if Stevenson were elected. John Foster" Dulles, Republican, on tne same TV program with Har rlman, also sidestepped the ques tion when asked If he would ac cept a GOP appointment to the same post ir Eisenhower won.

Growers Hold For Price Rise Offers of S4 per hundred pounds for Hannchen barley of high qual ity were not uncommon among buyers today and there were re ports that a few hundred pounds may have been sold at that price. However, growers across the Ba sin today were still holding onto the title of their barley waiting for the market to settle and establish Itself. The t4 price Is higher even than the closing price on last year's barley market here. Generally the price appeared firm, and buyers reported outside competition was In this area making bid offers. "When that happens," one said, "the market is hot!" There were reports of $3.80 guar antees on the barley crop from some sources, and other reports Indicated offers as high as (4.10 per hundredweight have already been made. LOW CROP The $4 per hundred bids are probably being prompted by the fact this year's national brew bar ley crop us tne lowest It has been since 1936.
