OREGON I 5 . - -..; -Vv? fcr f I' ;" "1 "I I , RAINFALL FLOODED THE STREETS of Klamath Falls Thursday morning after the heavy rain storm which hit the Basin, and most of the Northwest, this week.

Syria Doubts UN Action UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. i Diplomats expressed doubt today that Syria could gel the Security Cornell to meet her demands that Israel be ousted from tne U.N. and penalized heavily lor the Dec. 11 Galilee attack. The usual resolution of censure and appeal for negotiations ap peared a more likely result. Chief Syrian Delegate Ahmed Shukairy placed a seven-point res olution before the council last night after insisting the time had come for punitive measures to check what he called further Israeli "aggression" against Arab states. Observers pointed out, however, that Syria does not belong to the council and the 11-nation body can act on a resolution only on a mem ber's request. Informed sources said Shukairy had asked the Russians to sponsor his proposal, but that the Soviet' would agree only to urge council consideration. Tills aroused speculation the Rus sians, who have leveled tne strong est criticism of the latest Israel Attacks yet heard from a council member, might come up with a resolution of their own The Western Big Three are ex- tiected to bring in the resolution : expressing cet.ure and . appealing for negotiations. . After listening to more than an " hour of charges and counter charges from both Syria and Israel Council President Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand called an indefin ite adjournment and voiced hope the two countries would keep the peace, at least during Christmas week. By the time It meets again probably after Jan. 1, the council will have had time to study claims from the two sides 'as well as the report from the U.N. Palestine truce chief. MaJ. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, warning that further Is raeli reprisals could touch off a full-scale war. Burns' report blamed Israel for violation of the Israeli-Syrian armi stice. It said 56 Syrians and six Israelis perished in Israel s Dec. II raid on Syrian posts along the northeast shore of the Sea of Galilee.

Hearing Postponed On Navy Bid For Nevada Land Grab LAKE VIEW The hearing on the application of the U.S. Navy to withdraw upwards of two mil lion acres of public domain in northwestern Nevada for a mili tary reservation has been post poned, according to Forrest Coop er, Lakeview. He is attorney for property owners in the area and also attorney for five counties in Nevada and California which claim their economy would be adversely affected by creation of such an exclusive military reservation. More than 100 objections to the proposed plan were filed, stated Cooper. Cooper returned this week from ICC Scores Rate Rules WASHINGTON m The Inter state Commerce Commission (ICC) said Friday it "seriously questions the prudence" of pro posed curtailments of its powers to regulate rates in the transporta tion field. In its first public comment on tne report of President Elscnhow- er's Cabinet Committee on Trans portation,- released by the White House last April, the ICC assert ed: "Rcoort to the laws of the jungle with competition in full play will not produce the desired transpor tat ion system." In general, the Cabinet Commit tee recommended less ICC regula tion oi rates and more ICC iegu lation of segments of the transpor tation picture not now subject to its supervision among them barge movements of bulk commodities private motor freight carriers, and contract freight truckers. The committee lisled as its No 1 objective "Increased reliance on competitive forces of transporta tion in rate making." Among other things, the ICC would be permitted to fix only maximum ana minimum rates. rather than piecise rates, and its present powers to delav their ef fectiveness would be curbed sharp ly, ine report, was welcomed bv railroad interests, and sharply criticized by truckers and others THEFTS ADMITTED CAMDEN.

An hour later one oi - tne men brought the spanking clean car to her nearby home. He took the trouble to sweep up some broken glass m her driveway. But when she offered him SI. Ml plus a quarter tip, he refused to take the money. "Why?" she asked. - "Well, ma'am," he said, "we're all Marines, Just back from Korea. Were on our - way home to In dianapolis; which we hivm'l seen since 1949. We're staying with friends up the . street- during our layover.
