POWERS WASHINGTON iPI Secretary Benson Tuesday outlined his plan to reorganize the Agriculture De partment, declaring It would re duce the number of employes and cut costs, yet provide "better serv ice for farm families." The plan has been under study for months. Benson unveiled it at a news conference and invited com ment from interested parties. Once he has studied reaction, he Intends to put into effect such parts of the plan as be deems advisable. Any suggested changes, he said, should be submitted by Nov. 1. In his talk with newsmen, Ben- Lion emphasized mat no major Lack Of Hen medln ire's Loss By PATI O'CONNOR Lack of manpower was an im portant factor in controlling tne Aug. 15 fire which d2::iroj'cu eiQfiit business houses en Alnin anu 9lh according to a report iron. 0. W. Gault, deputy state fire marshal, to Robert B. Taylor, state" lire mar shal. Members of City Council re ceived copies of the report at their Monday n'giu mseilng. In the re port Gault said: "Lask of both manpower and ad ditional equipment during the ear ly stages of the operatiou undoubt edly had some bearing on the final outcome. Dense clouds of billowing smoke prevented effective opera tions on the roof area oi the one story building and the attic area became heavily involved. "It is only fair to point out that age, type oi construction, the num ber of occupancies and the accom panying number of partitions exist ing within the buildinss and the common attic over the one-story section together with the thickness of roof covering were all factors which handicapped fire fighting forces and made the task of check ing the spread a particularly dif ficult one," the report f-;aid, and continued, "However, it is quite ap parent that lack of manpower from the .time of the arrival of .he in'itia, company and continuing through the greater part of operations was an equally important contributing factor to the final outcome." The problem, according to the deputy, is one of acquiring added manpower and developing a plan whereby they can be assembled and dispatched with a minimum waste of time. He advocared emer gency alarms sirens, radio, tele phoneto notify paid and call per sonnel. Gault also pointed out that on lookers at the fire at times became overzealous In their eagerness to assist in operating hose lines and on occasions proved to hamper rather than help operations. Fire Chief Boy Rowe, comment in? on the report, said that he did not feel lack of manpower, was the biggest hindrance that particular night. Rowe did point out, how ever, that the Oregon usurance Rating Bureau has said that three stations and 27 men on duty are needed for a town of this size, fin stead, Klamath Falls has one cen tral station and nine men on duty.

Kidnap Pair To Kansas City KANSAS CITY Wl The confessed kidnaper-killers of Bobby Green- lease today were returned under heavy guard to Kansas City, where the abduction of the 6-year-old boy took place just days ago. ' Drug addict Carl Austin Hall and- -nis sromarr-n'lend,- Mrs; Bonnie Brown Heady, were brought here from St. Louis. They had been held in bt. Louis since their arrest a week ago.

They quoted him as saying he hoped the Greenlease family "gets back all the money." GOP Seems Safe In Senate WASHINGTON m Republicans seem certain to retain control of the Senate despite the appointment of Democratic Mayor Thomas A Burke of Cleveland to succeed the late Republican Sen. Robert A Taft. In announcing Monday the choice of Burke for the vacant Taft post Democratic Gov. Frank Lausche said in a statement at Columbus he anticipates the appointee "will take no action upsetting the pres ent organization of the Senate." This would mean Republicans would retain control of committee chairmanships and other legisla tive machinery. When Burke takes the oath, there will be in the Senate 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans and one Independ ent, Sen. Morse of Oregon. But Democrats have given no sign they will attempt to seize control. Although Morse bolted the GOP in last year's campaign, he has said he would not vote with the Democrats In the organization of the Senate in January. With Morse siding with the Re publicans, the line-up would be 48 48. In case of a tie, Vice President Nixon could vote and tip the bal ance to the Republicans. However, Lausche's appointment of Burke will create a problem for the Republicans In passing out Sen ate committee assignments. Committees are normally divid ed in the same ratio as the Senate itself, and thus far no formula has been found by which the GOP would be assured of continued committee majorities.

BULLETIN WASHINGTON Wl Yugoslav Foreign Minister Koca Popovic said Tuesday after an hour-long talk wii Secretary of State Dul les that his government will "re sist with all means" an American-British decision to give part or disputed Trieste to Italy. UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. UP) Russia demanded Tuesday that the U.N. Security Council tr again tu set up an international administra tion for the Free Territory of Trieste. Chief Soviet Delegate Andrei Y. Vishinsky called on the council ti jump Into the explosive Trieste question "forthwith." He submitted a resolution for ac tion by the 11-nation council which would: 1. Appoint Col. Hermai.n Fluck iger of Switzerland as governor ot the disputed region at the head o' the Adriatic Sea, 2. Set up a provisional counci' to help him govern the. area. 3. Establish the complete - Inde pendence of a Free Territory of Tlieste including belli Yugoslav-occupied Zone B and Zone A which has been controlled by Brit ish and American troops within three months after the appoint ment of a governor. The council rejected a similar Russian resolution May 10, 1949. Russia has already accused the 'United States and Britain of a "grave violation" of the Italian peace treaty by their decision to turn over administration of their occupation zone of Trieste to the Italians. The Italian peace treaty called for a solution similar to that pro posed Tuesday by Russia, but the Cold War has prevented im plementation. The Anglo - American decision roused the wrath of President Titj of Yugoslavia who notified the U.N. Monday that such a shift over constituted a threat to inter national peace. He also asked for a conference with Britain, the United States an Italy to try to work out an agreed solution. Anti-West Violence Increases in Tiroland By ALEX SINGLETON BELGRADE, Yugoslavia W); Anti-Western Violence - increased Tuesday as angry Yugoslavia awaited Western reaction to Presi dent Tito's threats and notes de signed to halt the transfer of north ern Trieste to Italy, With Washington showing no signs of backing down from the British-American decisions to pull out of Zone A of the strategio ter ritory, the mood of the tense Yugo slavs again grew . ugly. Demonstrators beat up an Amer ican student and a Yugoi-lav whi dropped into the Belgrade office of the U. S. Information Service. Huge slogans spelling "Entrance of Traitors" were scrawled on sidewalks outside the U81S olfici. and The British reading room in the main part of the city. A reinforced ring of Yugoslav militia men surrounded both build ings as mass street demonstrations continued. French Ambassador Philippe Boudet Was Called into rnnferenna Tuesday with Deputy Foreign Min- jolci- lies ueoier, giving rise to' speculation France might be sought as an intermediary to pre vent the feud between Italy .and Yugoslavia from developing into bloodshed.
