It la believed that Klamath county can be de pended upon to reglater ground awelta of oolnlon. For litis primary election, the to tal registration in Klamath county ' 30.103, of which 11.030 were Democrat and 9153 were Repub lican. Democratic registrations accounted (or 56 per cent of the to tal and Republican registrations lor nnlv 4A ner cent. Cordon received SI per cent ol Uio registered Republican vote In Klamath county and Neuberger only 31 per cent of the reglaleied Democratic vol. Cordon got 11 nee cent of the total registered vol in Klamath county (both Re publican nd Democrat) , no Neuberger got only 1 per cent at the total registered vote. That could be algnlllcant. Also It could be totally meaningless. We'll see what we'll tee come November and the general election.

It la strictly up to the people to decide how they want their money spent. .

KLAMATH Priea Fin Ceotolt Fagr South Korea Voting Plan Told Geneva By EDDY CILMORE OENEVA I South Korea finally agreed Saturday to elec tions throughout the divided K reen Peninsula, but laid dowi". fllllnna whlrh tha rvtmmxnl Jl? sure to reject. Jr coniercnce on Korea. Korean Foreign aJVVr .yun Q V Jr . plan Yung-Tat outllnca (or the unlllcatlon . V country and the Communist controlled north. At least two of the conditions he set forth for the all-Korean elec tions were txpccied to be bitterly opposed by the Communists. One of these was that any elec tions must be carried out under United Nations supervision and that the U. N. must certify the election results. The Communists have ruled out any U. N. role in Korean peace plans. Another Is that all Chinese Communist troops must be withdrawn (rom North Korea at least one month before the elections, but that some U. N. forces should remain In Korea un til a unllled government achieves effective control over the entire peninsula. Pyun called for an agreement thai "the integrity and Independ ence of the unllled, Independent and democratic Korea shall be guaranteed. ..." , , Another provision of the South Korean plan would assure control ol the unified country by the South Koreans. The plsn proposed that "representation In the all-Korean legislature shall be In direct pro portion to the population of the en tire Korea." The population ol South Korea at present hr about 30 million and that of Norm Korea t-snlllronoi Pyun rejected tho earlier pro posal of North Korean Foreign Minister Nam II calling for Communist-style elections to be car ried out by an all-Korean commis sion on which North and South Korea would nave equal repre sentation. "A careful perusal of the Com munist proposals reveals that while the Communists set a time limit to the withdrawal of foreign forces (rom Korea, they have carefully avoided to name a time for the elections. "This means that the Commu nists seek to perpetuate the divi sion rather than to achieve the unl llcatlon of the country, if unifica tion cannot be achieved in Com munist fashion. "It further means that the pro posed all-Korean commission will legalize the Communist Infiltration and subversive activities In the free part of the country until the whole country can be taken over legally. In short, the sc-called all Korea commission will, u accept ed, soon turn out to be an over powering brainwashing team, Tulelake Bond Issue Passed TULELAKE Willing cltUens In all precincts overwhelmingly ap proved the proposed $176,000 bond issue (or a new Joint elemen tary school building at yesterday's special school election, and gave the green light to accepting a state appropriation of 5330,000 to com plete the building.

Patterson's 17-month-old adminis tration woo a tremendous vote of confidence from Oregon' Republl can voter, but the 15-year congressional career of U. S. Rep. Homer D. Angell, Portland Repub lican, appeared ended. The turnout In Friday's primary election was light alter a quiet campaign and the votes offered little basis 'for speculation on the big senatorial contest, to come In the fall: Sen. Ouy Cordon, Repub lican, vs. Richard L. Neuberger, Democrat. Neither was opposed In the primary and each picked up about the same percentage vote of his party's total. Displaying power that surprised even his supporters, Patterson swept every county to hold better than a 3 to 1 lead over his challenger, for the Republican nomination. Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry. NOVEMBER RACE It means that Patterson win run in November against Joseph K. Carson Jr., former Portland mayor who also served on the U. S. Maritime Commission. As to New bry, It might foretell the end of his political career. He will serve Uie remaining two years of his term, and then will be Ineligible for re-election. Angell was far behind Tom Law- son McCall. 41, Portland radio news commentator, in a stunning upset. McCall, -who was adminis trative assistant for 31 months to ex -Gov. Douglas McKay; said s private poll showed five months ago Uut Angell would beat him by a 3 to 1 margin. . In the closing days of the sleepy campaign, both Newbry and Angell injected the power issue, but It didn't lo them any good.
