S. Bureau of Reclamation crossing north of town were recom mended at a hearing In the Legion Hall Monday, called by the Call fornia State Public Utilities Com mission to work out plans for lessen ing traffio hazzards Into the city. All entrances are from California State Highway No. 138. Sitting as examiner was Wilson E..Cline, San Francisco. ' " Present also - were Martin J. Lewis, PUO transport engineer, L. C.

Bill Seigler, Ed Duckett, Ross Ragland, Tulelake city coun cil; Mrs. Victoria Thaler, city clerk; Earl Ager, Tulelake prop erty owner and other interested persons. The commission recommended widening of the East-West Road entrance, correction of the eleva tion and installation of an electric-flasher-bell signal. Present eleva tion of the section is higher than allowed by law, the approach is on a curve, crosses the SP tracks and involves a narrow bridge. The commission also recom mended that the three secondary tracks on Main Street running par allel to the Main line tracks, be wired to actuate signal bells, that the number of tracks (4) be desig nated on an approach sign that will also read "Stop on Red Signal." There was no opposition to clos ing of the seldom used USBR crossing north of the city limits. Financing of the proposed changes wiU be resolved at a later hearing, to be called after the Sis kiyou County Road Commissioners have had time to prepare further data to present to the commission.

Three hours after the polls opened in Brooklyn for the second day o. balloting in the National Labor Relations Board election, a group of 15 men identified by po lice as AFL union adherents, start ed to march toward the voting place. Quickly an equal number of men described as members of the Inter national Longshoremen's Assn., in dependent, closed in and fists flew. Forty policemen on duty at the scene moved in and separated the contestants oeiore anyone was hurt. Thirty buses provided by the old longshoremen's union, which was ousted from the AFL for failure to rid Itself of corruption, arrived with dock workers 45 minutes be fore the polls opened at 6 a. m., EST. The workers brought along a brass band, but police stopped their attempt to organize a parade. Anthony (Tough Tony) Anasta 8io, an adherent of the old union, predicted that the ILA would win the election 5 to 1. "Thank you John L. Lewis from the bottom of the longshoremen's hearts for your sunoort of our or ganization," Anastasio Said. He re ferred to the promise of the United Mine Workers president to back the ousted union. An estimated G.ooo dock em ployes had between 6 a. m. and 10 p. m. (EST) Wednesday to cast tneir ballots, some 16,000 voted Tuesday, the first day of the elec tion. The result was not expected to be known until early Thursday. Weather Foils Rescue Try LONDON fffl Biting winds and driving sleet Wednesday halted ef forts by rescue teams to rench the wreck of the U.S. Navy plane which crashed atop a desolate Ice land glacier last Thursday with nine fliers aboard.

Looser, 34, was director of an amateur theater group. Deputy Coroner Shirley Brattin, who called the death an accident, said this is what must have hap pened: Looser constructed the gallows set and placed a large mirror to reflect the scene so he could make sketches and designs for costumes. He arranged a break-away slip knot in the rope as a precaution against accident. This morning, with the noose about his neck, and his sketchbook nearby, he stepped from the box on which he had been standing. The trick knot failed. Looser strangled, his toes dangling Just above the floor. Brattin said that when police lifted the body, the slip knot fell apart easily. He said the roughness oi the new rope apparently pre vented the knot from functioning as Looser had planned.

Mis ner of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads said. Trees, rocks and logs plunged down, covered the highway and went over the railroad tracks into the Santiam River.
