KF Court Battle To Be Studied All was quiet on the courthouse front Monday as word was awaited from Salem on a conference be tween state board officials and members of the supreme court who are investigating law eniorcemeni In Klamath county. Neither Circuit Judge David H. Vandenberg nor District Attorney Frank Alderson, central figures in the courthouse controversy, have been asked to appear In Salem. Glenn R. Jack, Oregon City, president of the Oregon Bar, told the Herald and News, he had a conference scheduled with Chief Justice Earl Latourette of the su preme court Monday afternoon. It was reported from Salem that Justice Latourette has been study ing a report on court conditions in Klamath county submitted by Jon el Hill, his administrative assistant Hill was in Klamath Falls a week ago conferring wph Judge Vanden berg and Alderson.

All soybeans contracts jumped 10 cents, the dally limit, within a short time after the opening. They were bid at that point through to the close. Brokers said there must have been bids for about four mil lion bushels, with no offers, at thr close. With soybeans at the top, and trading , brought to a standstill, buying swung Into com. The new crop months Jumped 8 cents, the dally limit for this grain. Here. too, all the buying orders could not be satisfied. About 15 minutes before the fin ish the urgent demand swept into the oats pits.

The last American commercial ship to carry passengers to the ter , rltory will be the steamer Delani, leaving Seattle Sept, 20 and re turning Oct. 6. Termination of pas senger service will not affect cargo or mall operations, the company said in a formal announcement. "It has been clearly demon strated that It is economically un sound to maintain a passenger lleet for 12 months to operate for only a three-month tourist season," laid President D. E. Skinner. Withdrawal cf Alaska Steamship Co. from passenger service will leave the field to Canadian ships, airlines and passengers traveling over the Alaska highway. The ASC and Its predecessor companies have been carrying pas sengers for 58 years. The present company, a combination of several companies, was organized in 1908. Skinner said a single factor forced the decision "continued, constant Increases In all operating costs, far beyond the point where such costs could be matched by In creases in fares or traffic." Skinner said that despite post war passenger trafllo approximat ing the average number of passen gers carried before the war, losses have totaled $1,517,200 irom 1940 through 1953. Ycar-by-year losses were: 1949. $273,439; 1950, $147,204; 1951, $82,. 167; 1952, $593,762 and 1953 $402, 637. A report by the Alaska Develop ment Board showed that of 244,451 passengers traveling to and from Alaska In 1953, 59.7 per cent used air transportation, 26.5 per cent, highway transportation and only 13.7 per cent traveled by ship, "In an effort to continue opera tion of Ihcse ships, which Is im portant to the economy of Alaska, the company has conducted a care ful study of the problem," Skinner said. Jly Sep Dec Mar May Check Cbaroe Dismissed A complaint charging S. A. Cue vas, former Southern Pacific rail way timekeeper, with forging an endorsement on a payrolf check was dismissed In District Judge D. E. Van Vactor's court Monday on a motion of the district attor ney's office. District Attorney Frank Aider- son told the court that the state was unable to produce sufficient evidence to prove, the charge against Cuevas..' Alderson explained the alleged crime occurred In December 1952 and since then Juan Soles, a Mex ican national whose name was forged to the check for $41.86, had been picked up In a wetback roundup and deported. The district attorney also said that Gus Vlahos of the Unique Market, who cashed the check, was unable to Identify the defendant. i Cuevas, who was returned to Klamath Falls from Weavervllle, California, was ordered released from the county jail by Judge Van Vactor.

Members of the Klamath Coun ty Bar who requested the state bar to investigate the feud between District - Attorney Alderson and Judge Vandenberg said that they da not know of any action the lawyers' group could take on the court row, except to make recom mendations to the supreme court. It is expected Alderson, who brought the courthouse feud into the open by disqualifying Judge Vandenberg to try five criminal cases, will file a motion for a change of Judge In the case of Dol en Ferguson, 21-year-old construc tion worker. Ferguson was ar raigned Saturday before Judge Vandenberg on a charge of passing a bogus check. Judge Vandenberg appointed Attorney au. S. Balentine to represent Ferguson. When asked If he intended to ask for an outside judge in this case, Alderson said "no comment." Judge Vandenberg already has said that he will not try any cases in which Alderson appears as prosecutor. MJITf John D. Mc A fet vi Murfl 1. McAfee. iult for divorce. U.
