The principal point of oppoiltlon Is that Klamath Fella needs Ihe Held In lla present and future rec reation program, and a lew weeks ago aome residents of Mills Addi tion retained an attorney to repre aent them belore the City Council. ANHWERKO Attorney Don Piper presented an argument to the council that selling the piece of properly might be Illegal under stale law. That point waa answered last night. The city obtained the Recreation Park properly partly as lax delin quent land a number ol venra ago, and Ihe Rotarv Club chipped In lome property to add to the city's holdings. For ycara the Held was used an a baseball and Softball diamond and once wan a principal locale ol the city's recreation pro gram. In June. 10 to. a resolution wan passed bv the Cllv Council forever dedicating the Held for recreation use. The resolution, however, waa never made a part of Ihe legal title lo Ihe property which Uie city holds. Yeara later, on June 31, 1848, that resolution waa repealed. At the time Ihe idea waa that the property might be sold for Industrial use. From that lime on Recreation Field haa figured leas prominently In recreation plana and tlmnrovement of the field virtually ceaaed. It has. nowever. continued to receive con siderable use and thin summer haa been In use almost every day. Also, In 1940. the properly w appraised and a sale price of tf.SlO placed on the 34 Iota In the athletic field Itself, LEGISLATION Attorney Perkins. In the ODinlon aa to the legality of Ihe aale. said mat II uie city had authority to enact Us June. 1040. resolution ded icating the property lor perpetual recreation use. then state legisla tion Is needed lo allow sale of the property. There la, Perkins determined, adequate legislation In an Oregon law of 1040, amended in 10411. which pcrmlia disposal of municipally owned property not needed for mib- llo use- or If the sale will further the public Interest. Therefore, Perkins ruled, the city can sell Recreation Held legally. The City Council can determine If Ihe properly Is needed for nubile use or if the public Interest will be ennanced by its sale. OBJECTIONS Several persona appeared before Ihe council last night to renew ob jections to the proposed sale, but an ordinance providing for the sale to Sacred Heart was Introduced and given first and second readings. Since It In not an emergency or dinance, tlie third reading cannot come lor 30 days. That will throw Ihe final okav of the sale until the last City Council meeting of Sept emberSept. 38. 8acred Heart Intends to use the Held as its athletic grounds, and also Intends to pay tho 2,610 In cash.

EOLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla HA A rocket fired by mistake by sn automatically controlled Jet lighter sent a B17 bomber spinning In Humes Into Uie Gulf of Mexico yesterday. All eight crewmen on the bomber may have been killed. One crewman who parachuted Into the water with his life Jacket was caught In lb - foot waves churned up by a sudden rain storm, and may have been washed under. An all-night search of the' debris-littered waters by ships and planes failed to bring any rescues. The crash scene was about AO miles south of Panama City. PILOT . , The rocket waa fired by the pilot of an Food, the Air Force's newest all-weather fighter, which la un dergoing operational suitability tests at the air proving; ground. ' The Air Force said the pilot, CoL Arthur R. Debolt, 30, of Col umbus, O., apparently mistook Uie B17 "mother" plane for a radio controlled drone. The drone was following; about, a-mlle and a hall behind. .-..- Col. Debolt. a World War IT. vet eran recalled to active duty, waa overcome with grief at the traglo error. He was unable to explain how It happened. He saw Uie hit plainly on his radar screen and figured It was scored on Uie drone. "The first I knew It was a mis take I hoard a voice on Uie radio from one of the other planes ac companying us saying, 'Watch for chutes. He got Ihe wrong plane." REPORT Debolt told military Interviewers "I Just can't believe I hit the wrong plane. I don't know bow It happened." Another B17 "mother plane es caped being hit and guided the drone back to the base. Members of the Flying Fortress crew were not Identified pending notification of next of kin. The Air Force has been testing the 650-mlle-an-hour F86d for sev eral months here. Debolt had been out on several training missions with the plane previously, and had made several successful passes on the target yesterday morning. An Air Force spokesman said the F86d operates automatically to uie extent that once a target cornea within range of Its radar the electronic equipment locks on to the target and guides the fighter In to the attack. , I .Ha in- A u If 'niii m i aurimi wn ii 1 1 is in w aaal.tojaci-3 .

Local X-Ray Sets Record A new unofficial state record was established In Klamath Falls yes terday for que dsy'a X-ray picture knapplrur whrn 1329 Ideal residents turned out to run through the mo bile X-ray unit at 8th and Main Streets. The unofficial old record was held by Portlsnd. where 1026 per sons were run through the opera tion at a large, downtown depart ment store. Yesterday's overwhelming turn out of Klamath folks brought to 11.328 the total number of X-rays snapped since the county-wide St ray survey mis Instigated last month. The halfway point toward the goal of 34.000 will probably be reached this afternoon. Elton Smith, head of the business division of the survey drive here, had put out early pre-rcglstralion businesses, and along with his com mittee was credited with a good part of the success of yesterday s operation. Dr. Seth Kerron. Klamath County and city health officer, said that starting In September the X-ray units would operate from Tuesday through Saturday. . Instead of on Mondays as has been the practice. An attempt will be made to visit the J. C. Penney location, where yesterday's new mark, was set. as often as possible. The total figure to date of 11.328 Includes 341 X-rays taken at the Shasta View housing unit during the same hours yesterday. Altogether, the one day mark for both units stands at 1,670. Tomorrow the units are to be at Emll's Oregon Avenue store from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and at the Mills fchool tor Teacher's Institute from 13 noon to 6 p.m. Pacific Flyway Gets 70 -Day Straight ' By W.
