Real Issues Klamath By HALE SCARBROUGH In the sound and fury of the national political campaign. It's easy to lose sight of the fact that Klamath Falls Is going to have a municipal election too, this com ing Nov. 4. The S.185 voters In the 32 city precincts will be faced with the problem of selecting a majority ot the elective city government of ficials a mayor, three councllmen, a police Judge and a treasurer. Bo far the local campaigning hasn't amounted to much, and It seems that the outcome of the election Is awaited by the average citizen wun aoout as mucn curios ity as Interest. There Just aren't any Issues serious enough to make the votrel choose sides. The three candidates for mayor, a four-year n a monin omce. are A. H. (Red! Bussman, 2039 Del Moro, who eperate'a Mur phey's Seed Store; Paul O. Lan dry, 331 Paclflo Terrace, who oper ates the Landry Company, Insur ance: and Dick Magulre, I960 Melrose, manager of KFJI.

The Oregon Council of Churches, spearheading the attack on pari muluels. was Invited to name two panel members. From Its Portland headquarters, the Council aald two Klamath Falls men could do the Job as well as any other persons in the state and requested that Bute Sen. Phil Hitchcock and the Rev. Lloyd Kolloway, First Methodist Church, be invited- They were and bout accepted For the parl-mutuel Interests and elements who think pari-mutueis should be allowed to continue n Oregon, there will be Cecil Ed wards, coming here from Portland for the radio forum, and Angus Newton. Klamath Falls contractor. Edwards, a principal spokesman for the parl-mutuel Interests, was named to the panel after several long-distance telephone conferences with parl-mutuel champions in Portland- Newton is well informed on the subject and has made sev eral talks in support of parl-mutuel Sen. Hitchcock is strongly against continuance of pari-mutuels and his legislative experience mates rum a partlcluarly strong foe. The Rev. Holloway, pastor of one of uie city's largest churches, has taken a very active role In the churcn council's attack on the legalized Oregon wagering. The regular forum telephone crew will again be ready to ac cept phoned In questions for the panel at 8 p.m. Smith was appointed to serve until this election. He isn't a candidate. Ward 4 Darrell Miller, 1405 Eldorado, Is the only Incumbent member of the council seeking re election. He has served one term. Miller is a partner tn the Dick B.

The small pay (24 a month tor councilman) and long hours almost bars a working man from holding one of the top offices. Not much argument can be worked up over the government of Klamath Falls, since the city Is financially solvent and fairly sparing with the use ot tax money. Therefore, no really hot Issues have been Injected into this cam paign. Some time ago it looked as If the proposition of converting to the olty manager form of government might amount to something, but it has died down because of lack of leadership: None of the three can- aiaaies lor mayor embrace the city manager plan with any en- (Contlnued on page i) U.S. Troops Pushed Off Stronghold By STAJ CARTER SEOUL. Korea GCI Punishing Red artillery fire Monday night drove U. S. Marines off the crest of "The Hook" a tew hours after they recaptured the western ridge- line in bitter close-quarter lighting. A Marine officer at the front said the Leathernecks pulled back from the crest and forward slopes at 8:55 p.m. There was no Indication whether the Chinese Communists moved up to occupy the high ground. The Reds earlier had attacked with 2,000 men along a three-mile front. The Marine officer said "the Communists made only a small penetration in our line. It was contained and never got out of hand." TARGET Main target was The Hook and Marine outposts along a three-mile sector to the north. The Hook Is about 10-12 miles east of Panmun- jom, site of the recessed armistice talk?. The Marin officer said the Chinese attack was well-planned and well executed. The Leathernecks of the U. 8. First Marines rolled with the punch, then started a series ot counterattacks that carried them back to the top. A staff officer told AP cor respondent Milo Fametl the Leath ernecks forced back the Commu nist battalion (500 to 750 men) which, had seized one end the the Hook, killing an estimated 300 Keas. Fametl said the Reds and Leathernecks "at times were ac tually wreitjing ha the .trench By' nightfall the Marines had' re. captured all but two or three out posts guarding the Hook. MESSAGE In a message in hi men xrai Oen. A. E. Pollack, 1st Miruie Division commander, said: "You have all the air support and ammunition you need In back of you. Keen pushing them. Keen the pressure on." Tbe Communists Sunday knocked a hole in the U. N. lines and seized one end ol "The Hook," a - mile-long ridge northeast ot Panmun jom. The Red attack opened with a thunderous artillery barrage. Then about 2.000 Chinese swarmed across the three-mile front. They overran three of five Allied out posts guarding the fish hook shaped ridge.
