to reorganize the Agriculture De

The plan has been under study

he has studied reaction, he Intends

Lack of manpower was an im

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.

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.
