Hew Platoon
PORTLAND The local Marine
Corps recruiting office today an
nounced plans for formation of the
5th Oregon Beaver Platoon to en
list In Portland on January 11, 1958.
The four predecessors to this pla
toon have been tremendous suc
cesses. The reason behind the suc
cess of the idea lies in the fact
that hometown buddies thus get to
go through their Initial training as
an identifiable unit. This gives the
men an easier psychological ad
justment to their new life.
The platoon will consist of ap
proximately 75 men to be enlisted
from Oregon, Southern Washington
and Northern California. The men
'may enlist for a period of either
three or four years.
Applications for the platoon are
now being taken by the local Unit
ed States Marine Corps recruiter
located at, the Klamath County
Court House in Klamath Palls. Ap
plications have to be made early
so It is suggested that interested
young men between the ages of
17 and 29 should make further In
quiries now.

York plane, 12 passengers and five
crew members, were killed and
charred beyond recognition bv
gasoline-fed flames that seared the
199-yard bulldozing path of the
stricken aircraft.
There was also body on the
plane, identified as that of C. D.
jnriu. an eastern Airlines ac
counting employe. It was being
snipped to Washington for burial.
Passengers were en route to Wash
ington, New York and Boston.
None aboard the plane was from
the Far West.
The plane was coming into the
Jacksonville airport for a routine
instrument landing. Cause of the
crash was unexplained.
John Ingle, local manager, said
that one of many rumors and re
ports that "undoubtedly will be
checked" came from an uniden
tified airlines pilot who said the
sound of jet planes was heard in
the vicinity just before the crash.
The Jacksonville control tower
said it had no contact with any
other planes at the time.
The four-engine plane was on
air coach service and an airlines
official in Miami said this just
happened to be a slack pie-Christmas
week for northbound flights.
Any other week the plane probab
ly would have carried up to 60
passengers.
The airliner crashed In a wood
ed area, clipped off treeiops at the
25-foot level, then bored 68 yards
through the trees and hit the
ground.
The hurtling wreckage plowed
26 yards and clipped off an oak
tree, .skidded another 65 yards
where the tail was sheared off and
plowed on for an additional 15
yards where the main part of the
fuselage came to a halt.

A reciprocity agreement over,
the Interstate travel of trucks was I
reached between 10 of the 11 Wcs'.-j
trn slates at a recent meeting ln
Denver, Colorado, of the Council i
of State Go.ernments of these j
states. I
E. A. Geary, speaker of the Orc-
Son House of Representatives, and
a delegate to the meeting, gave
a repcrt on this agreement Tues
day In the chamber of commerce
offices to Klamath County Cham
ber of Commerce officials and
members of Uie Klamath County
Court.
The pro-rating of all truck lees
between the slates, based on an
nual use (such as license fees) Is
provided in the agreement. This
pro-rnting would be on the basis
of mileage traveled by trucks in
the separate states.
Commercial firms, or individuals,
with three or more trucks In oper
ation, would be rpquired to regis
ter the number of trucks in each
state comparable to the number
of miles which they travel in the
separate states. That portion of
their license fees would be paid,
on the basis of mileage, to the
various slates In which they oper
ate. The plan Is, in effect, merely
a sharing of their license lees be
tween the states according to the
use of their roads.
This agreement will go Into ef
fect when the authorized signing
officers of each of the 10 states
signs with all the other states. It
was not reported which one of the
11 Western states declined to ac
cept tbe plan.
nils sharing of fixed license fees
in no way atfects the weighl-mlle
tax structure (such as Oregon has)
of the various states. These weight
mile taxes, and other similar tonnage-mile
taxes, used by the states
will still be In effect, Geary said.
In further explaining the fixed
license fee plan it was announced
that in reporting their mileage in
each state any fraction of one half
or over would be considered as
one truck.
It also Is expected after the
plan does go Into effect that each
state will issue a certificate to the
trucker showing that he has filed
his mileage In each state. This
will preclude the designation of any
one truck of a fleet as the only
one that can be used In that par
ticuiar state.
Geary said that this and similar
agreements on trucks that the 11
Western stales have made in the
past emphasizes the cooperative
spirit that guides these stales. He
pointed out that some Eastern
states have been at loggerheads
over their interestate truck travel
with unnecessary problems thus
raised for the truckers as a result

that the Council of State Govern
ments of these Western states
hopes to work out reciprocity agree
ments on the highway use (or
weight-mile) taxes. This agreement
would standardise the truck high
way use plans' of all the Westei
states.
A central clearing office for col
lection and disbursement of the
highway taxes for all the states
concerned also would be set up
under this plan, Oeary said. I
The council of State Govern
ments also studied reciprocity
plans for mental and penal Institu
tions and for school exchanges
among their many other discussions
at the Denver meeting, Geary said.
The council meets several times
each year in various parts of the
West.

This one has moved a lot of folks to change their buying habits.
For this strapping sweep of car is a Btiick Spkual solid Buick
through and through, and sedan-big for six adults.
Yet the dollar difference between this beauty and the well
known smaller cars can be sifted down to a pocketful of pennies.
(Actually, this Buick costs less than some models of those very
same cars as the price we show here proves.)
But the difference in brawn and breadth and fun and thrill
that's the clincher for the move to Buick . . .
Because here, folks find, is so much more sheer automobile for
the money big-car power, big-car ride, big-car performance
and big-car room at a small-car price.
It comes from new, record-high power from a big new 322-cubic-inch
V8 engine, the same basic engine that powers the
cotIier Buicks.
It comes from a new Buick ride backboned by Buick heft,
sinewed by stout steel, leveled by all-coil springing, cushioned
by triple-oil-volume shock absorbers.
It comes from a new and advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflowf
2 door, 6-passonger Buick Spccial Sedan, Model 48, illustrated. Any stole and
local taxes, additional. Prices may vary slightly In adjoining communities. A
wide variety ol exlra-cosl equipmont and accessories available at your option.
thai brings you brilliant new getaway response and bigger
gas mileage in your normal driving range plus sizzling new
full-power safety-surge when you floor the pedal and switch
the pitch.
And it comes, of course, from Buick size and solidity and steadi
ness and all dressed tip in Buick's new sweep-ahead style.
So why not come in and try one on for size?
Drop in this week and borrow a key. What happens from that
point on is pure thrill aided and abetted by low prices that
make this the best buy yet.
I.Viru; Ar(;nrcrt Variable filth Dynaflow i.t the only Dynaflow Btikk builds
today. It is standard on Roadtruisler, Super and Century optional at modest
extra cost on the Special.
