.THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1955 ' HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE Three Turncoats Consider Filing Of Damage Claim SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-Three -ex-GI turncoats considered today I tiling a damage suit against the1 Army for Jailing them on charges they collaborated with the Commu nists while prisoners of war In .Korea. . The three men, Otho Boll. 34, of ; Hills Boio, Miss., William Cowart. 22, of Dalton, Ca., and Lewis . Griggs, 22, of Jacksonville, Tex., were released Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Ar my could not try civilians for of fenses committed in the service. The turncoats conferred yester day will: their lawyer. George T. Davis,, about their future plans "to get what's coming to us," as Cowart put It. , They planned to continue their discussion today while flying to Power Firm Plans Work Woodward Prowler Signs Confession; Drops Lawyer BOISE, Idaho W The Idaho Power Co. took steps In the face of threatened court action Wednes day to - start construction of two power dams in the Hells Canyon reach of the Snake River between Idaho and Oregon. T. E. Roach, Idaho Power pres ident, announced the signing of a contract with Morrison-Knudsen Co. of Boise to butid Brownlee and Oxbow dams, two of the Uiree dams for which the company was given a Federal Power Commis sion license Aug. 4. - Roach said construction will be gin as soon as men. materials and equipment can be moved Into the area , and both projects will be completed "in time to avert a critical power shortage in the com pany's service area of Southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon." Signing of the contract was another round of a long-term bat tle beUveen public and private power advocates over the tise of Hells Canyon, one of the nation's deepest gorges. Public power groups have ad vocated .construction of a single high federal dam in the canyon. After the FPC licensed Idaho Pow er to build three small dams, the National Hells Canyon Assn., an nounced it -would appeal to the fed eral courts before the end of No vember. The licensing followed more than a year of FPC hearings at which the public power group vigorously opposed the Idaho Power pro gram. Morrison-Knudsen testified at the hearings the three dams could be built for 133 million dollars. The power company estimates Brown lee Dam will cost 63 million and Oxbow 24 million. Both are rockfill dams. Brown lee, located eight miles north of Robinette, Ore., Is designed to be 395 feet high, one of the 15 highest in the world. Oxbow is 12 miles downstream from Brownlee, - Portland. Ore., to be the guests o! the "Wmgs of Healing" temple operated by evangelist Thomas A. Wyatt. They were to leave at 10 a.m. PST. Cowart said he and his compan ions have decided to press for three objectives. They are: 1. To seek a change in their discharge status from dis honorable to a "better category;" 2. To seek reimbursement lor back pay and allowances for time In service, plus prisoner of war bene- fits; and 3. To seek pay for the 104 days they were Jailed by the Army after they returned from China last July. , The dishonorable discharge giv en the three men while they were in China did not specify forfeiture of pay accrued while they were prisoners of war. Meanwhile, Bell's wife, Jewell, flew here yesterday from Olympia, Wash., to be with her husband. In Poi Hand, evangelist Wyatt said the" turncoats told him by telephone last night that they "wanted to devote their lives to lighting Communism and alerting the nation to its dangers." Wyall hoped the three would stay until Sunday so they might appear on his two national radio ' shows (on Mutual and ABC). He said he would discuss the three men's religious and anti Communist future with them. Wy att took an interest 'In their case when the Army first arrested them. These boys know about anti- Christiah Communism," Wyatt said. "They have experienced Red Chinese brainwashing and they know all the tricks used by the Communists to pervert our ideology."

Burke says submarine launched weapons tipped with atomic warheads, could constitute a real threat to our coastal areas, to our port cities and to our sea lanes." Burke spoke yesterday at the commissioning of the USS Forreit Sherman, a new type destroyer which he called "the U. S. Navy's latest submarine killer." He said one of the Navy's fore most challenges today comes from the submarine. "The submarine is becoming more versatile than she has ever been," he said. "Today's Subma rines are capable of laying many types of mines, landing comman dos, fueling and arming seaplanes; they are capable of launching tor pedoes and guided missiles. "Nuclear - powered submarines provide even a much greater threat for they have Increased speed and range and staying pow er. They are tougher to find and tougher to kin." Burke described the Forrest Sherman like this: "She has the very latest equip ment to detect, to pinpoint and kill the submarine. She Is more live able and she is more deadly than her World War II predecessors. 1 ' "Antisubmarine warfare is only one of the many missions that this ship Is prepared to accomplish. She is prepared to kill enemy air craft and destroy surface raiders. "She is truly the workhorse of the fleet." MRS. PETE CAUSE who spent 25 yean in Merrill and who has moved recently to a new home at 5057 Bryant Street, brought "her pride and joy;" a hand-braided, hand-sewn rug to the new house in Klamath Fajls. The rug measures IO'j by I3V feet. The all-wool materials were gathered over a three-year period from upholstering concerns and the rug took one year to complete. Three men were needed to carry it from the moving van to the living room. Mrs. Calise has shown "an eye" for color combinations in blending the materials. She uses a smaller rug in contrasting shades in the same room. A third rug has already been started. She turned down an offer of $500 for the larger rug which has been sewn with waxed linen thread. . , MINEOLA, N. Y.
