I n
in The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
If, for ANY reason, you're feel
ing on the glum side today, I'd like
to oiler a suggestion.
Look at the calendar.
THIS IS DECEMBER .7. '
December 7 is PEARL HARBOR
DAY.
So .
No matter how low you may be
in your mind
You'll be feeling vastly bettor
than you were at this hour 1
years ago.
Remember this:
Fourteen years ago today, we
woke ud AT PEACE.
We went to bed that night AT
WAR,
There are problems today.
There are problems always.
But, if we can find a way to
maintain PEACE WITH HONOR
all of our troubles will be com'
paratively little ones.
Speaking of trouble
Up at Wenatchee, In the .state
of Washington, a black cat named
Buttons has been having it. Four
days ago, Buttons took it into her
head to try out her claws on a
40-foot-high power pole. So she
started climbing. -
It was fun. Her claws, dug into
the soft wood of the pole, and she
went, up and up. Just like shooting
fisb. She kept at it until she got
clear to the top. Then her troubles
began.
-. She was afraid to come down!
Her trouble lasted more th,in
100 hours. Then a warm-hearted
service lineman for the electric
company came to the rescue. The
pole -Buttons was clinging to
yowling lustily, meanwhile car
ried a 110.00 volt power line. The
lineman wasn't too anxious to
come in contact with It.
So he rigged himself a lasso,
shinned up a nearby pole und
from the top of it he LASSOED
Buttons. He gave a sharp yank on
the, rope and Buttons dropped
free of the high tension wires and
fell to the ground unharmed.
So It all ended happily.
Troubles can very, very often
end happily if somebody just has
ingenuity enough to GET AROUND
THE TROUBLE.
Speaking still further of trouble,
do you remember the tale of the
frog that Jumped into a milk can
full of milk?
The frog was in a bad way.
But
It didn't give up. It started
KICKING kicking being a part
of the nature of frogs. It kept on
kicking. It wound up sitting on a
lump of butter its kicking had
churned!
The moral is obvious.
Coast Storm
Damage Told
By THE' ASSOCIATED PXESS
The coastal Pacific Northwest
added up the costs Wednesday of
a violent wind and rainstorm that
took three lives Tuesday and
caused major damage in wide
areas of Western Washington and
Oregon. '
The storm dealt its heaviest blow
at Washington's Puget Sound re-
gion. Water traffic halted, trees
and utility poles toppled and pow
er lines broke as winds with gusts
up to 68 miles an hour raked the
area. The wind damaged homes
and other buildings .and accom
panying heavy rain caused minor
flooding problems. '

winds with gusts up to 57 miles
an hour and freezing rain was re

gorge.
Storm victims were two elderly
Tacoma sports fishermen and a
Colton, Ore., . sawmill operator.

water in the high winds in the Ta
coma -Narrows. The bodies of both
men were being sought.
Orville Bradford, 50, was killed
when a 200-foot tree fell on his
track two miles north of Colton.
The high winds forced the Wash
ington State Ferries system to
suspend lis Puget Sound opera
tions for several hours, and also:
Tore a' seaplane loose from its
moorings on Lake Washington' and
blew it across the lake where it
sank:
Pulled the tanker Cahaba from
its moorage on Bainbridge Island
In the sound; '
(l?) Felled trees and utility poles in
Seattle and other cilies.

was an injection seat. It took me
IS minutes to land." '
The plane smashed into a con
crete driveway between the homes
of Benjamin Dentils III, an oil com
pany executive, and Thomas Wal
ton, a food service executive. The
explosion and flare of flame Ig
nited the houses and scattered
wreckage of the plane for 100
yards or mere.

and smoke enveloped the Dennis
home occupied at the time by Mrs.'
Dennis, the housekeeper and her
four children.. Three children were
quickly shepherded to safety. But

Police Chief
Gives Warning
Klamath Falls Police Chief Or

motorists that vehicles packed at
hooded parking' meters would be
towed away.
He said that because motorists
violated the regulation against
parking at hooded meters (meters
with bags covering them), snow
removal operations last night were
seriously hampered.
Violators would pay not only a
tine but also towing and storage
charges, he said. He added that
it would cost approximately $7.50,
depending on the amount of the
tow bill, to gel cars returned to
violators. -
He added that the crew install
ing the hoods made their rounds
about an hour ahead of lime so
that drivers already parked would
have time to move before their
cars would be towed.

LONDON Lfl Pipe-amokinr
Clement Attlee, the mild-mannered
Socialist who directed creation of
Britain's welfare state, resigned
Wednesday is leader of the Labor
Party. , ',
A three-cornered tight for the
top post in the British opposition
party appeared shaping up among
the deputy leader, Herbert Mor
rison, 61; 48-year-old Hugh Glt
tkell end Aneurln Bevan, U, fiery
Welsh leader of the party' left
wing.
NO CHANCE ,
: Bevan -was given almost no
chance, however, against Morri
son or Ositskell, both followers of
Attlee's moderate policies. Morri
son's age could count against him.
Election of successor may come
within two weeks. .
Characteristically, the 73-year-old
Attlee almost tiptoed out ef
the party leadership he hid held
for 30 years a record In modern -BrlHsh
politics.
He handed in his resignation at
closed meeting ot Labor mem
bers of Parliament which listed
less than half an hour. His col
leagues saluted him with "for he's
a jolly good fellow."
Attlee wss visibly moved. Hii
lips quivered.
Age end 111 health were respon
sible for his retirement from the
minority leadership Jri the House
of Commons. The man who served
as Britain's prime minister from
1045 to 1951 had found direction of
the party's opposition to the Con
servative government an increas
ing burden in noetit months. Let
bor's detest In the general election
may have speeded his decision. -
SLIGHT STROKE
Last summer he suffered a slight
stroke. He recovered, but found
himself more and more fatigued
as he conducted the party's parlia
mentary battles, often through all
night sittings ef the House.
It was generally assumed Attlie
would tocept in earldom arid move
up to the House of Lords. He may
become leader of the party in that
more leisurely chamber.
Attlee's retirement from labor's
top post came eight months after
his longtime political adversary
and wartime leader in the coalition
government, Sir Winston Churchill,
quit the chieftsinshtp ef the Con
servatives at the age ef so.

FRANKFURT, ' Germany.
A mysterious explosion . destroyed
a : five-story apartment house in
the center of Frankfurt at dawn
Wednesday, 'killing 36 of the 12
sleeping occupants.
- German criminal police said they
were investigating the possibility
the terrlflo blast was set off bv
a political maniac. Among the dead
was the Slovak bom architect-owner-
of the building..
Police said lesser possibilities
were that dud aerial bomb from
the war exploded under the build
ing, that gas seeped from a city
mam into the Basement, or mat a "
tenant had unlawfully tried to tap
the nearby gas main.
The apartment house, completed
two weeks sgo, had a coal-fed
steam heating system. Police first
suggested gi.i from this system
v.'as the cause of the blast, but
later minimized this.
All tenants of the building were
Germans. .
It was the worst disaster In West
Germany's vast postwar rebuilding
program.
six hours alter tne blast mat
tered the building like a block
