Hid long Fourth ol July holiday
lurnnit out to uo lewi grim and
bloody Uian wu officially expected
At l)is moment n( writing Uil, only
341 people lout thrlr liven. I forget
whai the official forecast wu, but
It wu considerably turner than
148.
Let's put It this way:
You can't accurately predict a
atate of mind, and the bulk of our
traffic fatalities result from a alale
of mind. If all drivers paid strict
allention to their bualneu which
while they ar at the wheel, Is
DftlVINQ thero would be very
few fatal accident.
Sir Wliuton Churchill arrives
this morning in Southampton,
whore the Queen Elisabeth docks.
Kven before the bin Queen Rot Into
port he had used Uie ahlp-to-ahore
Phone to call cabinet meeunga in
!indon on Wednesday morning and
Thursday.
The teletype reports:
Churchill's call Indicated he
waa eager to put before the cabinet
RIGHT AWAY the details of his
talks with President Elsenhower
talks thst have spurred aome
criticism In the American congress
on Britain a stand."
At 11m dock, Churchill told the
reporters who swarmed around me
gangplank seeking; choice bits of
news as eagerly as sengulls swsrm
around the ship a iralley deck seek'
lug choice bits of food when the
cooks throw out the leavings from
a meal:
"I can tell you I am sure that
by trying our best In tha United
elates to make tood understand'
tngs and solid agreements possible
between us we have not entirely
failed, but It would be a mistake
to think everything can happen all
at once."
Cryptic talk from a man who
ran speak with remarkable clarity
and directness when he wishes
to?
It certainly Is.
Whst does It mean?
Here's what I THINK It means:
Drltaln and the tinned States are
approaching a parting of the ways
fn our dealings with communism
The British want to DEAL, SOFT
LY with the communist. They
want to make agreements with
them. They want to trade with
Russia. They want to trade with
red China.
Above all, thev want to avoid
ANY PROVOCATION that will re.
ault In bringing on a third world
war which will be almost cer
tain to begin with ATOM BOMB
INO. Before being too Impatient with
the British, loo HARSHLY CRIT
ICAL of their attitude, you'd better
get out your maps and take a look
at them. As a result of your map
study, you will be forced to the
conclusion that BRITAIN WOULD
BE THE FIRST TARGET OP THE
RUSSIAN BOMBERS.
The British are already sure of
thst.
So they are NOT going to do
anything that will turn the Russian
bombers loose. '
That Is about the long and the
short of It.
If Mint IS tho present situation,
we'd better not kid ourselves about
It. We'd better look It squarely In
the face. ,
And
If we're to get little If any help
from our allies In the final grim
pinches
We'd bettor begin to do some
Very serious thinking about con
serving our own strength If we're
going to have to fight the bnttle of
Armaggon (If then IS a bntllo of
Armageddon) alone.
Hut enough of grim talk.
Wasn't It a NICE Fourth of
July celebration? And a good ro
deo show. And a WONDERFUL
parade, And wasn't It nice of our
neighbors; to come from ao far
around to help us?
Practically the whole Stato of
Jefferson turned out, In one way
nnd another, to help make our show
an outstanding one.
Let's keep tills In mind.
It we're to be thoroughly nice
people and we're sure wo are
we must return these pleasant
courtesies! when the time comes.
And weren't Mr. and Mrs. Keith
Moon wonderful In their Bpsnlsh
costumes? And wouldn't a fiesta
In which EVERYBODY turned out
In colorful and striking Spanish
costumes and took part In the
parades and danced In the streets
and had a generally wonderful
time be ploosant affair?
After all, you know, the Stato of
Jefferson IS the farthest north
Spanish toll oa the Paclflo Coast.

Death Toll
Reported
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Final figures on accidental
deaths showed the July 4th week
end to be fsr safer and saner than
expected,
Trafllc fatalities especially were
well below Indications, Uie total
of 34B comparing with Uie fore
cast of 430 msde by Uie National
Safety Council. These totals were
for Uie 78-hour period from I p.m.
Friday until midnight Monday.
Ned H. Dearborn, president of
Uie council, said the comparaUve-
ly low trslflo toll was "spectacu
lar evidence of a trend which has
been apparent all this yesr. Every
month has shown a decrease In
trafflo deaths from Uie same
month last year.
"We are encouraged to believe
combined efforts are bringing
about better trafflo behaviour."
The council said its forecast had
been compiled In Uie same way
as In Uie past, bssed on exper
ience with other holiday tabula
tions. The all-time high mark for
a three-day uly 4ih weekend was
388 In 1053.
The tour-day toll of Ml in 60
was considered more typical, the
council aald, producing a range In
estimates of 430 to 4o which was
reduced to a final calculation of
this year of 430.
Drownings and miscellaneous ac
cidents. Including fireworks, raised
the violent death toll to 830. The
Associated Press survey llstd 189
drowned and 83 killed In miscel
laneous accidents. Four in Uie mis
cellaneous category were from fire
works. ,
Every stste except Utah re
ported at least one traffic fatality.

Fire Destroys
Ellinqson Mill
Fire department officials and In
surance adjusters were combing
Uie ruins of Uie Elllngson Lumber
Company mill, four miles south ol
Klamath Falls Monday In an effort
to find the cause of a $250,000 fire
which swept Uie plant Sunday.
Reports of incendiarism were
discounted by Robert Elllngson,
president of the lumber company.
He said he believed the fire might
have originated In three oil com
pensating switches in Uie main
building of tno mill.
Dr. George H. Adlcr. who wit
nessed Uie start of the fire from
Klamath Memorial Park Ceme
tery, said he saw five or six pil
lars of flame shoot skyward from
Uie roof of the lumber mill and
within a few minutes Uie entire
plant was enveloped In flames.
Besides we Duuaings ana ma
chinery, a large stock ot piled
lumber was destroyed. Half a dos
en boxcars on a siding at the mill
also went up In flames.'
All available fire fighting equip
ment In Klamath' County was
called Into service to battle Uie
conflagration which lasted for six
hours. Besides the Klamath Falls
Fire Department, the Stewart-Lenox.
Suburban, County and OTI de
partment fought the flames.
Hundreds of spectators were at
tracted to the scene by billowing
clouds of black smoke which could
be seen for miles. . .
A portable lumber mill at
Sprngue River also was destroyed
by fire Sunday afternoon. The mill
waa owned by Bert Taylor of
Klamath Falls. Damage was esti
mated by $10,000. The blase was
