Reed Boosts Child Agencies Nelson Reed, public -relatione chairman .. of the United Fund "camoaftYn 'commltteeV e"Tt ev e s there Is' definite need for child care agencies such e's those helped through the fund, even in America, the land of plenty. Reed said, "Lots of people right here in Klamath county can tea you that we really need ell those child welfare agencies. Ask our Circuit Judge, our county welfare worker or our Juvenile officer if you don't believe us. "Here are some facts-not Just mistaken notions to prove that we have a need for such Insti tutions even in this fortunate coun ty of ours:' "In the past three years 224 children from Klamath County have had 35,690 days caro by the various agencies supportea by the United Fund-Red Cross campaign I "The small amount of money that these agencies receive from the united campaign would not be gin to take care of these Doys and girls if we had to operate a home for them locally. Maybe you are fortunate and none of your children or your friends' children needed such help. But 224 children in Klamath county in three years have not been so fortunate. Won t vou helo by giving to the UF- Red Cross campaign generously?" arrest of the kidnapers here and the recovery of half of the 8600,000 ransom, indicated, however, the key witness, Lt. Louis 8houlders, may again postpone his appear ance. It was Shoulders acting on a tip from taxi driver John Hager, who arrested Carl Austin Hall and Mrs. Bonnie Brown Heady, the con fessed kldnap-klllers of 6-year-old Bobby Oreenlease, and recovered about 8293,000 of the ransom. Hager was questioned for six hours by the panel yesterday. O'Connell said he talked to Shoulders yesterday and found h 1 m "still emotionally upset." Shoulders' physician told news men the officer suffered a nervous condition after overworking him self on the case. The physician. Dr. Charles M. Bauman, said he believed Shoul ders should not be questioned at this time because of fiis health. O'Connell also said the inquiry might move to Kansas City to question Mrs, Sandra June O'Day, "if the FBI will let us talk to her." Mrs. O'Day, held as a mater ial witness, has admitted staying with Hall in a St. Louis County mo tel the night before his arrest Oct. 6. Tne police inquiry here was or dered Sunday after published re ports that FBI agents were inves tigating possible discrepancies in the police reports in their search for the missing 8300,000 ransom. Hager told newsmen before tes tifying yesterday that he had been "hounded so much by this thing that my wife has become a nerv ous wreck." He added: "All this because I decided to tip off Lt, Shoulders, It's gotten so I wish I had never called the po lice. And you can bet your bottom dollar I won't call them again on anything." Hager also reaffirmed to news men that it was he who registered for Hall at the Town House apartment-hotel where Hall later was nabbed on Hager's tip that he was armed and on a spending spree. Mrs. Jean Fletcher, on duty at the hotel desk at the time, has said it was neither Hall nor Hager who registered for the room. She was a witness yesterday. . Other witnesses yesterday in cluded Patrolman Elmer Dolan, who accompanied Shoulders in I Hall's arrest. Both have - said Shoulders left the station ln his private car after Hall was booked. Shoulders did not mention his absence in his written report Mrs. Heady and Hall are held ln Kansas City on federal kidnaping charges. . Yesterday a lawyer, Harold Hull of MaryvUUv Mq . conferred-with Mrs. Heady but said later he had not decided whether he would rep resent her. He indicated that if he took the case he would attempt to get a federal court order for Mrs. Heady to undergo a psychiatric examination before her trial. Hall has not .had counsel. SHOOTING HOURS October 22 OPEN CLOSE 5:57 A.M. 5:15 P.M. following; a Mr. Rudolph, next man unknown, then Nelson Rounseval, unknown, but may be a Motschenbacher, Barney Chambers of Gun Store fame, Frank Sargent, Jack Hunsaker, a chap named Davenport, Joe Smith and Ed Propst.

City Council has delayed signing the necessary resolution, claiming that it wanted to act ln coopera tion with the County Court, which has jurisdiction over the majority COURT UNCERTAIN "County Court will probably get around to discussing the housing problem this afternoon." This statement was given the Herald and News by Judge U. E. Reeder Wednesday morn ning. The judge said that al though Commissioner Jerry Ra nus had said some weeks ago that the Court would probably sign the necessary resolution If no satisfaction wa obtained from Sen. Guy Cordon on the possibility of an extension, that was just one man's word and the Court would have to discuss the problem before action waa taken. City Council will not get to the matter until their next meet ing Nov. 2, according to Mayor Paul Landry. ' . of the units. The County Court has not-acted, indicating it wanted to wait for an answer from Sen. Guy Cordon on the possibility of an extension. THREE ALTERNATIVES According to the letter from Charles E. Slusser, commissioner of the Public Housing Administra tion, forwarded to Doyle Edwards from Cordon's office, the basio leg islation governing the operation and disposition of these projects, which are classified as temporary housing, provides three alternate methods of disposition as lonows: 1. Relinquishment to an eligible local body under certain condi tions. 2. on-site sale If the local' govern ing body determines, by resolution, that the housing - is suuaoie ior long-term use either with or with out physical requirements. - 3. Removal from the site ln the event disposition is not accom plished pursuant to either 1 or S above. "These projects are not presently sKbtetfr'te-' eji-rapplteation Jotre linquiShment," the letter r states. City Council withdrew its applica tion last spring, slusser's letter In dicates that Judge U. E. Reeder showed in his letter that he is aware of the provision permit ting an on-site Bale of the housing upon adoption of the resolution by the local body that the housing is suitable for long-term use. ; 'DELAY OF INEVITABLE' The second letter, an answer to frBm Patrick J. Klrby. 2680 Eberlein, written to President El senhower and referred to M. Car ter McFarland, director of the Operations Analysis Staff, Housing and Home finance nivuvj Washington, D.C., supports Slus ser's statements and adds that "postponement of the eviction no tice merely means a delay of the Inevitable as our disposition func tions are mandatory." "However," McFarland continues, "WR shall make every effort to minimize hardships to tenants in occupancy." McFarland says that office finds that usually, after normal apprehension, there la an orderly rehousing of affected ten ants with few cases that require special attention because of hardship.
