Stan Buckingham Featured In Collier's Story On Homesteaders In Tulelake By OTTO ELLIS Of interest to readers throughout the Klamath Basin Is a lengthy article appearing In the Collier's magazine lor Jan. 22. The article headed "Sodbusting Fays Off,' written by Robert De Ftoos tells the story ot K. S. (Stan) Buckingham, ex-seryiceman who in 1947 homesteaded 103 acres east of Tulelake. Interesting parts of tne story dis closes that a little over seven years ago Buckingham, just out of the service, was working for a sugar beet seed outfit in Salem. He des perately wanted a farm, but he knew that on his $225 a month sal ary his, chances of buying ' one were pretty slim. Reading In the papers where the Bureau of Reclamation was about ready to give away 86 home steads ranging from 60 to 141 acres each, depending on the quality of the land, and that veterans would have preference if they could meet the requirements at least 90 days In the armed forces: $2,000 in as sets, some farming experience and naoits or Honesty, temperance.

Rivaf Unions Still In New York, Huge Port May Be Shut Down In Row NEW YORK UV-Threats by rival unions today confronted the huge Port of New York with the possi bility of a complete shutdown until one or the other union is driven from the waterfront. Police details along the docks were strengthened to be ready for trouble. . i ' The seething harbor situation was0brought a degree nearer the boiling point yesterday with the an nouncement by the AFL Interna tional Longshoremen's Assn. that it would close the port if its rival, the old ILA, now independent, strikes. Posing the threat, APL-ILA Ex ecutive Director Ace M. Keeney indicated his union was ready to seal the port, in such an event, until the ILA is forever driven from the docks. Keeney said the AFL-ILA "will lead the longshoremen in action that will end only when the gang ster rule of this port is completely and utterly destroyed." The old ILA, which has threat ened an all-out dock strike if the National Labor Relations Board acts against it in a bargaining election between it and the AFI ILA, was kicked out of the AFL for Square Dance January 16 Is Item On March Of Dimes Campaign In Klamath Area Swing your partner and get in the swing of the 1854 March of Dimes! - As a special event of this year's drive, a Square Dance is being planned for Jan. 16 at the Armory.

Present at the meeting will be the Do-Si-Do executive committee and representatives of the local March of Dimes Committee.

One dime out of every dollar re ceived In the nationwide March of Dimes Campaign, which runs through Jan. 31, will be used to fi nance a hopeful new anlt-polio vac cine, W. A. Huggins, Klamath Coun ty chairman of the fund raising drive, pointed out today. Huggins said the vaccine wltt be given to about 1,250,000 youngsters all over the nation this year.

A lead of 1,492 votes is held by the old ILA in the election which was held Just before Christmas. However, 4,397 challenged naiiois are still under examination; and the outcome is in doubt. In addi tion, the AFL-ILA has petitioned the NLRB to invalidate the elec tion and hold a new one on the ground of coercion and Intimida tion by the ILA. Yesterday the ILA filed Its own complaint with the NLRB, charg ing unfair labor practices against Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and AFL President George Meany. The ILA accused them of con spiring to interfere with last month's bargaining election among the New York longshoremen. Dew ey and Meany already have made the same accusation against the ILA. Dewey's office in Albany com mented, "The governor never re sponds to charges made by rack eteers." Meany, interviewed last night by Ed Murrow on a CBS television program, said " the ILA charge puts me In distinguished com- Danv," Another watenront development yesterday saw the ILA and its Brooklyn leader, Anthony (Tough Tony) Anastasia, acquitted In fed eral court in Brooklyn ol lau Hartley law contempt charges.

The article by De Roos goes on to say that Buckingham was lucky, his name was the ninth picked from the pickle jar and he was awarded his homestead. Shortly thereafter he married Eileen Percy, his sweetheart while working in Salem, and the two moved to their new homeslte, which had no buildings, no fences, and the land was covered by e heavy stand of stubble. Following seven years of hard work, Joys and disappointments, the Buckingham's now own anoth er homestead of 72 acres which they bought from a neighbor in 1949; plenty of machinery to farm both places, a modern home, good roads and last but not least two wonderful children, Janet, 5, and Keith, 4. , Planes Rip Rebel Force Near Seno HANOI, Indochina Ifl French Union forces with massive air sup port have launched a counterat tack from Seno In an effort to dis organize Communist-led Vietminh troops regrouping for another at tack on that central Indochinese strongpolnt, a French army spokes man said Saturday.

There was no estimate of the strength of the new forces. The new thrust came on the heels of a proposal from Thailand that Laos and Cambodia, members of the French Union, join In the cre ation of a new anti-Communist bloc. While the French appeared somewhat annoyed 'at the propos- al, new Communist pressure to ward the Thailand border was bound to arouse more nervousness' in Bangkok. Kinney In On Airlift Deal A Klamath Falls army man, Lt. Col. George W. Kinney, command er of the 483rd Troop Carrier, Wg. Packet Pats Sq. of C-119 Flying Box cars took part in a gigantic airlift program to an Isolated spot in Korea! according to repent word from Tokyo. ; Kinney is the son of Mrs. Nell Kinney, Klamath Falls and Oliver Kinney, Sprague River, His wife Is the former Helen Moore.

Since 1951, planes from the 315th Air Div. have been making weekly flights over the lofty peak In "Acn lng Back Mission," so termed by the Air Force because of the enor mous savings In back-breaking toil for men on the ground. Flights are still being made. When the control tower was being built, all supplies and equip ment were carried on foot up the steep precipice.

Intermittent attempts to carry supplies up the mountain resulted in injuries from falls on steep slopes, so the drops have been continued. Tuna Clipper Racks 'em Up SAN DIEGO, Calif, tfl Using a radar-like device for locating schools of tuna, an Amerioan clip per landed 55 tons of fish in one day off the coast of Peru, it ra dioed Its firm here. The Westgate California Tuna Packing Co., said Its clipper Sun ray filled its hold to capacity of more than 200 tons In nine weeks. Some clippers require several months to land that much fish. The Sunray made the first com mercial use of a device developed in Minneapolis that beams high frequency sound waves under wa ter in any direction from the ves sel. A school of fish reflects the waves, enabling the boat to track them down. The Sunray reported it worked the same area with a ship not equipped with the fish finder. The Sunray caught 11 tons, the other ship three. At present prices the value of the Sunray's 55-ton one day catch is $20,000. Hill Threat Gains ASTORIA M Astoria's sliding hillside has threatened three more homes, raising the total number of families evacuated to 26. It was learned Friday that help may be on the way to the stricken site. Rep. Walter Nortolad of Ore gon has requested that the neigh borhood be declared a disaster area. That would permit the vic tims of the rain-caused slide to obtain low interest government loans with which to repair their damaged homes. The Small Business Administra tion (SBA) reported it will send a representative from its Portland office to investigate the possibility, of declaring the hillside a disaster area. Some of the home owners, whose houses were not yet crumpled by the slide, were attempting to have their houses moved. Meanwhile rain runoff and high tides which flooded the community of Nehalem to the south were re ported receding. One-way traffic was passing around a slide which had - blocked the Coast Highway near Brighton earlier this week.
