on the panel were A. II. (Red)

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

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.

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

each said they contemplated no
changes. However. Landry sug
gested it might be wLse (or tne

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

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

The guards called the- camp
commander and ne issued orders

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
