Tultma Marsh Plans OK
But FW Likes Own Best
By MALCOLM KPI.KV JR.
Tulnnn Farms' proposnl for de
veloping the controvcislnl Mnnnlng
Tract for both agriculture and ml
Rrutory waterfowl and public
shooting tins considerable merit.
Refuge Mgr. Tom Horn of Tulelnkc
snld Inst night, but that plan
doesn't fit into Fish and Wildlife
programming.
The two foctlons presented their
cases boforo a general meeting of
the Klnmnlh Sportsman's Associa
tion In the Wlnema Hotel Inst
night. About 00 persona were pres
ent, llie Mnnning Tract Is lornted
nt tho north end of Upper Klnmntli
Lnko and to tho West of Agency
Lnkc. II Is composed ol innrsli
lnnds nt present, nnd Is bounded
on tho West side by the Wildlife
Service's Upper Klamnth Water
fowl Refuge.
Ttilnna Fnrms wns represented
by Dick Hoiucl, who explained thnt
pi'ipettinl hunting rights would be
turned over to Fish nnd Wildlife
control If his group wns allowed to
obtnln possession of the tract, not
only on the tract but on Tulnna
lnnds lying to the north.
On tho first unit of development
Tulnna hns planned for the tract
there would be 13 miles oi exter
ior dikes nnd 30 miles of Interior
drnlns; if and when Iholr pinns
nre completely cnrrlcd out lor me
whole nrea thero would be approx
imately twice as many miles of
d ko and drains, 'mo nines wouia
hnve ronds atop them.
Hcnzcl snld, nnd, almost every
one agreed, thnt the Upper Klam
ath mnrshlands hnve had few ot
no birds to spenk of resting there
should be bandied.
Tttt departments No, I - plan
would be to have one-way traffic
on Main and Klamath, with alter
native one-way traftlo on Pine and
Klamath, or Klamath and Walnut,
to get traffic through town from
north to south. A second recom
mendation waa lor east-west rout
ine by means of one-way traffic
on 6lh or 7th below Main down
lo or across the railroad yards.
Within a couple of weeka the
Klamath Merchants Association,
representing most of the larger
downtown atores, voiced such
strong opposition lo those propos-
sis, thai the matter of figuring oul
an effective traffic control system
was let, slide until now.
Last week, In a talk at a meet.
Ing sponsored by the roads com
mlltre of the Chamber of Com
merce, Rep. Ed Oeary, who heads
the legislative highways commit
tee, mnde some pointed remarks
about Klamalh Falls' Inability to
get together with Itself or with the
highway department, and declared
that the whole argument Is foolish
snd some "heads should be
knocked together" to get the tiou
blrs Ironed out.
The Hlghwy Depsrtment Is Inde
pendent, he said, and If Klamatn
Falls won't solve -Its problem of
truffle congestion ,on the principal
downtown streets, the department
will take Its money aomewhere else
to spend.
But If Klamath Falls will gel to.
gether with Itself, Oeary Intimat
ed, there Is a good chance that
the atreet and highway Improve
ment oftored by the highway de
partment can be accomplished In
the next couple ol yesrs.
That "getting together" Is the
Job of the committee appointed by
Mayor Landry.
The committee Is. composed of
Al Hatlan, A. H. (Red) Buasman,
William Meade, Vern Moore, Jim
Kerns Jr., Oreer Drew, Harry Bol
vln, Kasper Moty, Rudy Jacobs
and Councilman Don Kenyon, most
ol whom have business or properly
Investments on the downtown
streets.
, When It was pointed out thai the
committee was loaded pretty heav,
Uy In favor of downtown property
Interest, to the exclusion of per,
sons who Just have to use the
streets to travel on, Councilman
Kenyon agreed, adding that "It Is
their property that la apt to be
affected."
Ho Intimated, however, that ho
txpoctod oomo dottalio acUaa to
cow out nt tbo eommttleo.t . :.
The Highway Departments $4,

Includes the one-way atreet pro

viaduct over the railroad yards as

In addition to that committee

Man Returned
To Military
Ellis B. Alexander, 38, who has
been In Jail here under the name of
Oiles Lloyd Dingus since Oct. 31,
was released In custody of two
Army men today for return to
Camp Stoneman, Calif.
Ho is wanted by tne Army for
prosecution on a charge of being
absent without leave, and military
authorities said that after he was
punished at Camp Stoneman he
would be shipped to Korea.
An indictment charging Alexan
der, or Dingus, with obtaining
property by false pretenses, a bad
check charge, was dismissed this
morning by Circuit Judge David
R. Viuidenberg at the request of
District Attorney Frank Alderson.
Aldcrson said he believes Alex
ander would be adequately punished
by the Army, and That releasing
him from tho criminal charge here
would snve the county some money.
In order to prosecute Alexander
on the check charge, the district
attorney said. It would be neces-J

State Legislators Study '
Revision of Oregon Laws
Br PAVL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM m The Oregon Legis
lature was resdy Tuesday to tackle
one of its biggest Jobs when the
Statute Revision Council submitted
its 5.039-page rewritten version oW
all the state laws.
The bill, longest ever placed be
fore an Oregon Legislature, was in
troduced In the House.
Bv introducing it on only the
second day of the session, the
council gave the Senate and House
Law Committees the maximum
time to study the complicated
mensure.
Backed bv a strong recommend
ation by Gov. Paul L. Patterson
in his opening message Monday,
the new law code Is expected to
win the Legislature's approval.
It will be the first time in S3
years of statehood that all of Ore
gon's laws have been overhauled.
The Statute Revision Council
spent four years and 1300,000 on
the vast Job ol rewriting, simplify
ing and eliminating dead wood
from tho laws, The new code will
consist of only three volumes, while
It now takes 16 big books to hold
the laws.
About 300,000 words were re
moved from present laws.
The chairmen of the two law
committees are Sen, Paul Oeddes,
Roseburg, and Rep, Carl Francis,
Dayton. They will run the big task
of preparing the new code for Leg
islative action.

Tough Safe
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.
Unable to break Into a market safe

ing he never had "worked on a
better one."
' "If I have messt.'d this one up too
bad for further use," the testimon
ial advised, "I urge that you get
another one Just like It."
Meanwhile, the legislators were
almost unanimous in their praise
of Gov, Patterson's message, in
dicating that the lawmakers will
won in ciose narmony witn tne
governor.
ratterson, wnose service in lour
Legislatures included a term as
president of the 1951 Senate, should
have an easy time with the legis
lators because most of them, are
his personal friends.
While It appears likely that the
Legislature will approve the new
law code, lt also seems probable
that the State Constitution might
get Its first rewriting since Oregon
became n state in 1839. .
Gov. , Patterson's recommenda
tion for a constitutional convention
was received favorably by leading
legislators. The convention would
be delayed until 1956 because If
the Legislature approved the idea,
then the people would have to vote
on it In November, 1955.

440 Planes '

SEOUL W The U. 8. Fifth
Air Force hurled a crushing 440
plane strike against Communist
rail facilities deep In Northwest
Korea Tuesday. It was the seventh

U. S. Sabre Jets, flying protective

The fighter-bombers streamed

raids of 220 planes each only a
few hours after B-29 8uperforts
plastered the ares with 100 tons
of bombs in a night strike.
Biggest news on the ground front
was that two fresh Chinese Com

have moved Into the line on
the Western Front.

was no Indication of any new Red

Oil Companies
Rap HST Plan
WASHINGTON (.fl-A Justice De
partment offer to compromise its
antitrust action against an alleged
international oil cartel bogged
down today amid hot words point
ing to almost certain rejection.
One major prospective defend
ant. Standard Oil of New Jersey,
turned down the offer and thus
apparently killed hopes of com
promise since the government of
fer was made on condition that
accept it.
Arthur H. Dean, Standard At
torney, called the proposition "cold
and outrageous blackmail" and
said his company would have no
part in it.
At the same time. Stephen J.
Sptngarn, chairman of the Federnl
Trade Commission, called for con
gressional investigation of the oil
companies. Including what he de
scribed as "the propaganda ca
paign of villification they nre wag
ing against their own government
in 67 foreign countries."
Spingarn, a Democrat, contended
that any backing down by the U. S.
government would ploy directly
into the hands of Soviet interests
abroad.
The Justtce Department said tt
was keeping open for the com
panies concerned to come In and
compromise the matter but no
one talked very hopefuUy about
this happening after the action by
standard oi New Jersey.
A stormy session between Atty,
Gen. McGranery and oil company
lawyers yesterday Included a gov
ernment suggestion that the com
panies let him know by 11 a.m.,
EST, today what they will do about
the government offer.
In the absence of unanimous ac
ceptance, justice officials said they
will go ahead with the criminal
antitrust investigation pending be
fore a federal grand Jury here
and scheduled to resume Its ses
sions tomorrow. Thnt would throw
the whole mntter Into the lap of
the Elsenhower administration.
Reportedly acting on the advice
of the National Security Council,
President Truman yesterday sug
gested to McGranery that the pro
ceeding be abandoned In favor of
a civil antitrust action.
His proposal carried the key
proviso thnt the petroleum giants
co-opernte In preparation of the
projected civil case against them
by supplying records which the
government hasn't yet gotten by
grand jury subpoena.
