But about six miles above Collier Park, on U.8. 97, the led from lire on the Wllber car suddenly blew oul; at least Stale Pollco think that Is what hnppencd. In any event, the car suddenly swcivcd across the highway's cen ter stripe and smashed almost dl icclly head-on Into a car proceed ing In the opposlto direction. in this second car were a Klam nth Fulls couple, Mr, and Mrs. Unlph Howard.

'Die crowd of 5.200 people, III a 6,000-seat. high school audi torium, howled with laughter. Btevennon added, "The elephants put their two heads together for a peace treaty they must have eaten crow." He coupled his discussion of communism tn America with some searing comments about Sen.

He called them "these salesmen of confusion." The governor said that In his view the FBI Is doing an excellent job hunting down the Reds.

About 1:45 on the morning of Aug. 26, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Phair, operators of an inn near Tulelake, were driving Into Klamath Falls. With them was one of their em ployes, Patrick O'Shea. At the same time, a young Mer rill man, Lyle Brown, was driving toward Merrill. About l'i miles south of Mac's Store, on the Merrill highway, Brown's car smashed into the Phalr's station wagon, traveling In tho opposite direction. State Po lice say Brown's car was approxi mately four feet over on Phalr's sine oi tne roan. Why Brown was not driving on his side ol the center line will never be known for he was killed lnstnnlly In the terrific collision. A little alter 3:30 that same morn ing, Phair died In the hospital. Sgl. l.uii Tichenor, commnndlng the Slate Police detnehment here, wns visibly shaken by the five col lision deaths In four dnys. With the Labor Day weekend approaching, Tichenor exhorted his men to try and corral reckless drivers. Tiche nor hns only 11 men for traffic work a i omul the clock throughout Uie county. Carclully, he scheduled his men so as to provide a maximum amount of patrolling during the long holiday weekend. For the morning of Sunday, Aug, 31, one of the patrolmen was to work the sec tion which goes through Worden. But that pntrolmnn's father died unexpectedly and the officer did not work that night. So as three young people left a dunce In Dorrls sometime after midnight In drive home to Klnm nlh Falls, there was no patrolman on the stretch of road through Wor den they would have to travel. It probnbly would hnve mttde no dif ference if there had been. Splinter ing death w.is awaiting two of the thrco young people on the highway. And the story told later by the sole survivor of the trio Indicated no patrolman could have prevented the trngedy. The three young people were Clinton E. Bland, 19, of Coos Bay, David Aaron Wright, 30, Klamath Falls, and a 16-year-old Klamath Falls girl, Shlrlene Ann Flug. They were in Wright's car and Wright was driving.

Wright passed a car on the slope of a slight hill. As he sped along on the wrong side of the highway, Wright suddenly saw a car ap proaching from the opposite direc tion. Wright was nearing the old Keno-Worden road on his led.

Bland was killed outright and Wright died en route to the hospi tal. The girl, Shlrlene, suffered a dislocated hip and a fractured arm. She hns been discharged from the hospital and is conva lescing at home now. Ironically enough, the car which Wright's car struck carried a 1 ' ;vj Champ Steer 10 for some 150 animals at the fourth annual Rotary sponsored Ju nior Livestock Sale.

And then early on the morning of Sept. 6, Eisenhower To Launch 12-Day Drive By JACK BELL NEW YORK lAV-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will set out again to morrow on an intensive 12-day, tour. His Itinerary includes Illinois, In diana, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Norlh Caro lina and Virginia. The Republican presidential nom inee will leave here by Pennsyl vania Railroad train at 4:10 p. m., tor, arriving in t. wayne, ind., Monday morning. He returned only last Wednesday from nine days of rugged cam paigning. On the eve of the candidate's departure, a New York congress man moved today to push Gov. Thomas E. Dewey into an active pan in the presidential campaign after Sen. Robert A. Taft's spec tacular enlistment in the fold. Rep. Leonard W. Hall was lead ing a drive to expand Dewey's in fluence beyond the win-New York role which previously had been assigned to the 1944 and 1948 GOP presidential nominee. CONSENT "If the governor will consent to a more active part in the cam paign. I am sure that his help will oe welcomed," Hall told a re porter. However, representatives of Gen. Dwight D. Elsenhower, who were influential in arranging the conference from which Taft emerged to announce he would give all-out aid to the Republican nominee, were noticeably cool to Hall's suggestion. Sen. Frank Carlson of Kansas and Ralph Cake, Oregon National committeeman, said they hadn't heard any report that Dewey as well as Taft might undertake a national broadcast for the ticket. Idaho Man Raps Spending TWIN FALLS, Idaho Wl Fed eral government costs are too high. Rep. Hamer H. Budge (R-Idaho) said Friday night in an address to the International Association of Electrical Inspectors, Northwest section. The Idaho congressman criticized what he termed "wasteful" ex penditures. He cited $12,000 allo cated in the 1953 budget for re search at Northwestern University for study of "unconscious factors governing courtship and mate se lection" and $19,000 to Cornell Uni versity for study of mental stress in sheep. three more persons were killed in a rear-end collision near the Sut ton Road-U.S. 97 junction a few miles south of the city. A short while before this colli sion, a car coming out Sutton Road had shot across U.S. 97 and gone in the ditch on the far side of the highway. C. C. Van Vleet, driv er of the car, told police his brakes failed. A wrecker was called to get the car out of the ditch and State Patrolman George Anderson was at the scene. Flares were put out to warn traffic that the wrecker was partly obstructing the highway. Driving north in a big flatbed truck was W. C. Farrell, Fairfield, Calif. Trailing the truck was a car carrying four men. They were en route from Dorris to Klamath Falls. As Farrell, the truck driv er, saw tlie warning flares ahead he slowed the big truck. But the driver of the car apparently didn't notice the flares or was unaware that the truck had greatly re duced its speed. With a ripping crash, the car slammed into the rear of the truck bed, practically tearing the car in two, Lowell Eugene Brown, 43, Dorrls, was killed instantly. C. H. (Bill) Sims, 51, Project City, Calif., was dead on arrival at the hospital. A lew hours later, Albert H. Jones, 56, Cottonwood, Calif., died in the hospital. Keith E. Peck, 33,. Irvington. Calif., suffered head "lacerations and bruises. Peck was driving the car when the collision occurred. On the following Tuesday, State Police went to the hospital, ar rested Peck and charged him with negligence in contributing to the death of Wilson. Peck Is now free under $3,500 bull.

Korea M U.S. B-2 Superfortresses last night and early today hammered the Com munlsts' partly repaired Suiho power plant largest In Asia la the first of two Allied air blows at the doorstep of Manchuria ana Russian Siberia. At dawn, planes from the U.S. Navy carriers Bon Homme Rich ard an! Princeton struck a troop concentration center at Hoeryong, lVi miles from Manchuria and 41 miles west of Siberia; More than 35 Superforta from Okinawa and Japan droned ' through Red flak for more than; 2"2 hours over Sulho, 3,000 feet south of Communist Manchuria. It was the northernmost penetration ' of the Korean War by the giant bombers. They hurled 350 tons of ex- plosives on Installations under going repair from the massive Al lied fighter bomber raid in June on Suiho. Suiho's generators once, supplied power to all North K-re and to many Chinese Communist industries in Manchuria. Reconnaissance reports of moved transformers and new transmission lines, the Air Fore? said, indicated "the onetime fourth:. laigeC power plant of the world was again ripening as a target." One of the three B29 wings carried 2,000-pound armor-piercing bombs- Intended to Knock: out Buino heavy machinery for keeps. The B29 raid was even heavier than the June raid, an Air Force spokesman said. The Navy said eight barracks buildings were destroyed and 22 damaged at Hoeryong, where re connaissance pilots earlier this week had spotted baggage of in-' coming troops. On the Central Front.

Lewis' United Mine Workers meet in Washing ton Monday in the shadow of a possible coal strike one week later Lewis is now negotiating new contracts with both soft and hard coal producers. . The UMW has about 320,000 members working in soft coal mines, 65,000 in the hard coal industry. The UMW's 200-member Policy Committee was called to its Mon day session by Lewis yesterday. Such meetings usually are held to review negotiations and prepare for the strike threat often used to win contract concessions from the industry. . Both sides seemed to be trying to avoid another mine shutdown. Prices and the demand for coal are comparatively light and coal ers now have about an 85-day coal stockpile. Yesterday, Kelton, 'Whitton ana' little Ed. were driving Inbound- along S. 6th Street about two miles ' beyond the city limits. Outbound, in a Ward's Funeral Home servioe car was Bert Greenwood. Ka was en route to Mt. Calvary Cemetery', to prepare for a funeral scheduled later. State Police say eye witnesses to the ensuing tragedy give this ac count: There were two cars proceeding directly in front M of Greenwood. I II , The front car in I w tended making a. 1 B left turn at Madi son street and driver so signaled. He had to slow almost to a stop because of a car approaching . i n the opposite di Klamath County Traffic Fatalities In 1952 rection. Tlie second car was driven by Mrs. Robert Powell, Tulelake.' She said she gave a slow signal when the first car slowed for the left turn. But, the police say,: Greenwood decided he could pass and swung over to the wrong side of the road. The Ward's service car and the incoming Kelton - Whltton car smashed head-on. Kelton was killed outright, the 10-year-old boy and Whitton were Injured and taken to the hospital. Neither was found to be seriously hurt. Human errors. Except for the evident blowout Unit probably swerved tho Wllber car Into the Howard cur, euch of these lethal crashes might have been avoided with a bit more care on some peo ple's part. That's the gist of what State Police Sergeant Tichenor had to say in reviewing the tragedies today. "With the possible exception ot the Wilber-Howard wreck," said Tichenor, "there's no question but that driving violations were in volved in the other four wrecks." We don't know who coined this popular expression but it's a good ' note on which to end this piece . , . : "Drive Carefully . . . The Llfe, You Save May Bo Your Own."
