KLAMATH Three Mafr Candidates Split On City-Licensed Gambling Issue By WALLACK MVKIIH In all save one glaring instance, Klamath Fulls' three mayorallty candidates stayed pretty much on Ilia sums side ol tne fence last nluht In an overtime Build Die Uiisln radio foruin. it was the first of the new scries of the Herald and News-KFI,W public service lurums. Candidates on the panel were A. II. (Red) Hiissinuii, Puul Lundrv and Dick Mnuulre. 1 he one Issue on which all three of the men look distinctly different stands was gambling, particularly the clty-llcensed card tables in downtown taverns. Bussmsn maintained the tables wore used onlv for "recreation" and said he did not regard the "penny-anto" stukes as gambling. He uolnted out that tlie cltv li censed the tables and received "quite a Utile Income from them . Landry said he thought plav on the tables should be allowed to continue, that to close the tables would "only chase gambling under ground." As to Bussnian's "recre ation" contention, Landry sold "we know they are not playing lor fun . . . but the people of Klamath Falls apparently want the gambling or they wouldn't tolerate It , . . 1 think tlie wisest approacn is to leave the tables alone." Magulre said flatlv that the gambling laws should be enforced. "If the oeonle want to gamble they should repeal the law," he de clared. As the three men discussed var ious phases ol the cltv administra tion this picture became Increasing ly clear: All fell tne cuy oi Klamath Falls In general had en- Joyed satisfactory administrations and that tne city is ui as koou overall condition as we could reasonablv expect. Question of whether or not the city should have a city manager was the toughest one of the eve ning. Repeatedly, the three candi dates shied sway from giving a flat "ves" or "no" answer to audience demands on their city manager stands. Airlines Yant KF Business WASHINGTON W Three sir lines, all spplying for permission to carry freight and passengers be tween Klamath Falls and Medford, Ore., testified Tuesday at a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing.

Bussman said a Rood city man ager would probably "save the city money. " Landry, although he said a good city manager form of government might "be a step torward," was obviously less enthusiastic about the Idea than his two opponents. He asserted that "more than 50 per cent o( the registered voters do not want a city manager here". All three men said they thought ihe matter should be decided bv the will of the people. Landry and Mugulre agreed that It would probably be better lor all Xmos Opening Chrlnlnm oprnlnr hat beeu tentatively Hi for Friday, Nov ember 28, by (he Klamath Falls Merchant Aioriatlon.

Farm Prices Show Decline WASHINGTON l-A dip of 2 per cent In average (arm prices, with meat and potatoes leading the drop, hold out some hope today (or lower food costs. Hie decline In prices r( (arm products as a whole during the month that ended Sept. 15 was re ported late yesterday by the Agri culture Department. At the same time the depart ment said average prices paid by larmers dipped onlv 1 per cent so that (arm prices averaged 101 per cent of parity, compared with 103 per cent both a month and a year ago. Parity Is a standard used to compute (arm prices that Rive farmers a fair purchasing power judged by a past favorable period. The most favorable recent period lor (armers was October, 1946. when (arm prices averaged 122 per cent ol parity. More livestock are moving to market now as a result o( a period of high prices and so market prices were 15 per cent lower than a year ago and lowest since June, 1050. lust prior to the Korean War. Movement of more Dotaloes to market after a short crop also pushed prices downward as much as 50 cents and more a bushel. They averaged 12.22 a bushel In mid-September and $2.78 a month earlier. Milk and other dairy prices moved in the opposite direction, probobly because of widespread drought and high prices (or live stock feeds. The survey showed an 8 per cent Increase in average dalrv prices and the highest aver age (or any September in 43 years that records have been kept. Prices of things that farmers buy, including some foods at re- tall, were down slightly (or the month. But offsetting this were higher prices (or sugar, corn meal, (lour, coffee, milk and eggs. ....... ..... . : . MARTHA BEASLEY , Merrill concerned If Die cltv limits could be extended to Include the ap proximate 12.000 people In the South suburbs. But thev held the Inlllullvc should be taken by the suburban people. Landry said the city should take the role ol "big brother" to the suburbun area and give them every aid possible . . . And "let them know the latchstrlng Is always out at City Hull 11 thev want to come In the city." Magulre said "It would be a great boon to have the additional (I2.0O0I population, making this a city of some 30.000 rather than one about 17,000 ... It would make the city more attractive to industries looking lor new plant sites . . ." Bussman would not take a per sonal stand on the annexation mat ter and said most people moved into the suburbs to escape city taxes. He also asserted extension ol the corporate limit would In crease city taxes. On the question of the adequacy of the present zoning snd codes, all three men agreed that our present regulations were good enough. And all thought enforcement was suf ficient. The question of the city's traffic problem, particularly through truck traffic, also found the trio In gen eral accord. All felt the two-lane 8. 6th Street viaduct was a ma lor problem to be solved as quickly as possible: and all thought through truck traffic should not use either Klamath. Main or Pine Streets. In a discussion of the appointive cltv Park and Recreation Boards, each said they contemplated no changes. However. Landry sug gested it might be wLse (or tne boards to have some new and younger members. The proeram brought a (lood ol phone calls from the listening audience and many questions were still unanswered on the forum table when the program had to be ended after running 30 minutes overtime.

Of The Klamath Basin Potato 1 ' N SHIRLEY JOHNSTON Henley 45 Commies Killed In Prison Riot CHEJU ISLAND. Korea Wl American guards with blazing guns killed 45 Chinese prisoners of war and Injured 120 others in quelling a riot today. TTie POWs were celebrating the third anniversary o( China's Com munist regime when some fanatics turned the Jubilee Into an attack on their guards. "The malority of those killed and wounded were shot," said a Pris oner of War Command spokesman. Two American soldiers were in jured slightly. The spokesman said: "It was really a light. Due to all the confusion that surrounds an incident like this one, many details are lacking." The 500 fanatical prisoners bat tled two infantry platoons about 80 men with stones, rocks, clubs, tent poles and weapons Improvised from materials in their compound. SECOND LARGEST From a standpoint o fatalities, today's riot was the second largest nmnnir PflWs in V nroa ontinnniwl !bv the Army. Last February, in a similar riot on notorious Koje Is land, 80 prisoners were killed. About 6,400 hard-core Chinese Communists are quartered in var ious camps around Cheju City on the island south of Pusan. Also on Cheju are about 13.600 Chinese cap tives who have said they would re sist reratrlatlon to Communist China. The Army said the commander of the Chelu camp yesterday is sued an order against prisoner demonstrations. Presumably he had anticipated trouble on the Red anniversary. American guards went to the compound at 7:30 a.m. to (orm work details to continue construc tion In a "vast winterization pro gram. An Army announcement added: "The guards not only found the Drisoners demonstrating, milling around and singing, but found that they had put up improvised Com munist llacs in the compound." The guards called the- camp commander and ne issued orders bv loudspeaker that 11 the demon stration was not stopped, force would be used to effect compli ance. Payroll Plan Moves Ahead The move to institute payroll de ductions to aid welfare organiza tions and at the same time lessen the burden on individual contribu tors, snowballed with surprising (orce last nignt. At a meeting of management and wage-earner representatives ot many o( the county's larger firms it was found that 29 companies and their employes were already in various stages of setting up tne plan. The payroll deduction plan was spearheaded this year by the Klam ath Community Chest Campaign Committee. Ernie Taylor and Charlie Mack are directing tne movement. Three tirms have already put the plan in use and their satisfactory experience largely prompted the Chest action this year. Those three firms are the Palmerton Lumber Company, Dick B. Miller Company and the Oregon woolen store. Under the plan, employes agree to have a few cents deducted from their pay periodically and put in a special welfare fund along with funds contributed by management. This fund takes care of all worth while charities and the participants (Continued on page 4) HELEN KELLEHER Julelake Rookie Joe Black Beats World Champs v.
