Wl A tele gram was sent late Saturday to President Elsenhower In Washing ton advising him that "petitions which appear to quality" his name to be placed on the ballot, March . 13, in New Hampshire s prefer ence primary have been tiled. The message was sent to the White House by Harry E. Jack son, deputy secretary of state ot Girl Admits Bomb Threats ROSEBURa Wl Authorities fald Saturduy a 17-year-old girl honor student has admitted she waged a 25-day campaign of bomb threat to the high school here. Investigators, who started on the case when the first threat was re ceived Dec. 29, called her a "mlxed-up kid." She was led with her parents pending psychiatric treatment. Principal Harry Jacoby emptied the high rchool after the first threat, bv telephone. Nothing hap pened. The next day he got a penned note, threatening a bomb- in ir. More threatening notes and telephone calls followed In ensuing -days. Jacoby said he received 13 notes and calls. Nearly all came about 810 a.m. A check of the handwriting on the threatening notes with tlio.se of the school's 1,300 students led to solution of tho case. The girl, whose name was not disclosed, confessed when shown the evi dence against her. Her parents were shocked. The girl was well regarded by the fac ulty, hnd almost perfect grades and had missed only 1'2 days of school since she was 10. Senate Slates Vet Hearing WASHINGTON (m The Senate Investigations subcommittee will launch hearings Tuesday on charg - eg that the Veterans Administra tion has had to spend millions to send war veterans to four Communist-owned private schools. Chairman McClellan (DiAjk) de clined to name the schools or dis close their location In advance. They reportedly are located In Pennsylvania and New York State. McClellan emphasized that under existing federal law, the VA ap parently has no right to withhold payment to the schools, even if 11 should find that Communists run them. Au objective of the lnnulry. he said, Is to determine whether new legislation is needed. In a statement Saturday McClel Ian said the hearings will start behind closed aoara to quiz "ap proximately eight witnesses con cerning four such schools." He said the subcommittee already has voted to proceed with nubile hear ings jaier, out lie announced no date. He said the hearings will show how the schools profited from a payment of tuition and other bene fits provided by the OI bill. A preliminary Inquiry by the subcommittee staff Indicates that these four schools alone have re ceived over three million dollars from the United States government for veterans' tuition since 1945," he said. New Hampshire after he accepted petitions filed by Maurice Grant, Manchester automobile dealer. Earlier Jackson had ruled one of two petitions filed by Grant was Invalid because It lacked the neces sary SO valid signatures. Grant then filed a new petition with 56 signatures which were ruled valid. A second petition with 76 signa tures was ruled valid earlier by Jackson. In order to enter a person's name as a candidate the petition, must have 50 valid signatures from each of the state's two con- giesslonal districts. The President's name will appear on uie oaiiot at tne first In the nation primary unless he signifies his desire to withdraw his name within 10 days. Should the President permit his name to remain on the ballot, It nugni oe construed as Indicating Eisenhower's willingness to seek a second term. The White House indicated earll er tills week a statement would be issued if the president's name was officially listed. A reliable source told the Associated Press the White House would approve of keeping the President's name on the ballot. Gov. Lane Dwinell, leader ot the fcisennower camp in this state said earlier he would file petitions for Eisenhower Monday morning. Dwinell said he will go through with the filing plans although It will not be necessary In view of Grant's action. Grant told newsmen he would support Sen. Bridges (H-NH) as a favorite son candidate If the Presi dent docs not run. Bridges told reporters In Wash ington Friday he will fight any Huempt to -corner" New Hamp shire's OOP delegation icr any other candidate than Elsenhower. The Senator, chairman of the Senate OOP policy committee, said If persons close to Ihe White House attempt to name b slate In the March 13 primary lii New Hampshire, he may file ois own name as a delegate candidate. Aside from the President, there are no other entries on the pref erential side of the ballot which provides a check of a candidate's popularity. A pledged delegate must obtain consent of the candidate and the designation is binding as long as me canaiaate a name stavs before the convention. On the other hand, a favorable delegate needs no consent and is not bound to vote for the man he selected. A slate favorable to Ike swept to victory In the 1952 New Hampshire primary although Els- enhower. then In Europe, did not mane Known his attitude toward the nomination plans of his supporters.

Holdover direc tors are Lee Holllday, Klamath Falls, president: E. M. Hammond, Morrill; A. R. Campbell and E. A. Geary, both of Klamalh Falls. Robertson told- farmers not to wait for proposed farm legislation to change the 1956 picture. "Legal machinery cannot be put into motion to help farmers' pre dicament this year. The only solu tion is to cut down on costs and operate on a budget system of planned farming," Robertson explained. He said, "This is the time for sound planning practices, not big ideas." The Spokane credit offlcal com mented that the day of the small farmer is rapidly drawing to a close, and he warned that the farm picture indicates a five per cent drop in farm Income this year. Robertson attributed farmers' present "predicament to changes over the pa,st 20 years mechaniza tion of farm work, use of electric ity, chemicals and new varieties of seed and fertilizers which have increased crop totals. "Where farmers used to operate on a trade basis, farms are now run on a cash basis, and the change has affected farmers more than they realize," Robertson comment ed. He traced the development since 1940 of the "price squeeze" tne difference between prices of farmers' commodities and cost of consumer articles. Lee Holllday.

Farmers, stockmen and their wives from Klamath, Lake, Modoc and Siskiyou counties attended the day long meeting. Miracle Flight Ends In Death NEW VORK '.fl A hurried flight in search of a miracle and life ended In death Saturday for a little boy from New Mexico. Time ran out before the quest was done. Although the government, a fast, modern. airplane and various hu man agencies did all they could to hasten the journey of faith, 6-year-old Luis Dealva, sick with leuke mia, died on the way. His parents had put their last, desperate hope for him in a mirac ulous cure in the waters of Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine in France It Just wasn't soon enough. " spld the father, Wllli.im E. Dealva. "We had thought that if we made this pilgrimage, that he might re ceive a gift some help or that we would be better able to accept wnat must oe. When the rush "mercy flight" reached here from Albuquerque, the boy's condition had worsened. While awaiting resumption of the trip, he was taken to Bellevue Hos pital for emergency core. There, his grief-stricken parents stood by while a doctor examined him and pronounced him dead. Before the trip started, little Luis had been hovering near death. For a year and a half, the cancer-1 ous leukemia had ravaged his blood. His father, a technician in radio logical physics at Los Alamos, said he decided "only Friday" to make the trip. . The State Department and Sen. Anderson (D-NM) helped arrange for quick passports and visas. Accompanied by his parents and a nurse Luis left Albuquerque on a nans world Airline plane Fri day night.

FLORENCE, Ore. 11 Three Indian tribes threaten to seek seats in the United Nations as a sover eign people, if the federal govern ment continues to ignore them. Their attorney, James Green, a Justice of peace here, said the tribes the confederated -tribes of the Siuslaw, Lower Umpqua and Coos Bay have never been com pensated for their lands and are getting Impatient. The treaty the tribes signed on Aug. 11, 1855. was never ratified by the U.S. Senate, he said and so the Indians claim they never gave up their sovereignty. They own a strip of Oregon coast which includes the cities of Florence, Reedsport and Coos Bay, he says. "We claim these tribes are free people and not subject to federal laws," Green declared. "The Uni ted States recognized their sover eignty In the 1855 treaty with them. Since the treaty was never ratmed. no rights of sovereignty were surrendered and no convey ance of land took place. It won't take 15 minutes to settle this if the government lives up to Its ob ligation." About 100 million dollars will do it. Otherwise,' he said, "We Intend to apply for seats in the United Nations as sovereigns." i rick Air Force Base would be the launching point for "project van guard" came as no surprise.
