PAGE FOUR Video Weather Forecasters Receive Abuse, Praise ' By CHARLES MERCER ' NEW YORK Wl For some In- Mn.nrohnlhl0 tPBSOn I'm SUClt- er lor weather forecasts on tele- vision. I'll cut olt a spectacular ny time lor a quick forecast of what it's going to do tomorrow. The weather never has any bearing on my activities. I've lost my rubbers and don't own an um brella and I'll have to get to the office no matter what happens. But tune I will to anybody on the screen who offers a forecast. The curious thing about It Is that In this area there is only one good TV forecaster to my way of thinking. His name Is Tex An toine. He appears only locally on the NBC-TV outlet. All TV and radio forecasters get their Information from the Weath er Bureau, of course. But Antoine Is the only one who makes me comprehend how It might rain or It might shine. He's authoritative, but not dictatorial. With an elo quent shrug he can explain how It Five Seek Child Custody SAN JOSE (UP) Five persons claimed custody of a blond, blue eyed baby boy todav while puzzled police Insisted someone produce legal proof. The child is temporarily In the home of Mrs. Lew Perry, who said her niece, Mrs. Ruth Garcia, San Diego, gave tne Daoy 10 er mn mnnth mm ftarcia told her the child was her son but that she did not want It and that sne couia have it If she wished, Mrs. Perry aid. But while Mrs. Perry made plans to adopt the child, Mrs. Jeanne Hardwick, 33, also of San Diego appeared at the Perry home Saturday night and claimed the Mlri n hers. Mr. Hardwick. on the verge of hysteria, told police she left the baby In Mrs. Garcla's care while he took a trip east. When she returned to her home she found both Mrs. Garcia and the child gone. Besides Mrs. Perry, Oarcia and Hardwick, the youngster has also been claimed by two unidentified phone callers from Ban Diego, One was a man who threatened to "kill everybody" and kidnap the child If he was not returned and the other was a woman who refused to give her name. Police advised Mrs. Hardwick to return to San Diego to produce proof that the baby Is hers. In the meantime police asked San Diego authorities to Investigate everyone connected with the puzzle, French Holdup Crash Details CAIRO (UP) Two crewmen b( the French airliner that crashed near here yesterday, killing 63 persons, agreed today that "some thing went wrong with the Instru ments" but withheld details pend ing official Inquiry. Co-pilot Robert Rolland, who was at the controls when the big DCS lammed into the desert 11 miles west of here, and mechanic Pierre LeBoennec both said' the Instru ments didn't seem to be working right during the plane's last mo ments In the air. Rollnnd denied that he was at tempting an emergency landing at the time of the crash, but he would give no other details. "An official Inquiry will be held." he said. "That's the only time I'll be answering questions."

O Newspaper SPOT ADS ore inexpensive repealed dally, ?9o ight not turn out the way he exoects at all. There are a lot of women fore casters on TV around the country, Personally I'd give all of them other assignments. Waather is a man's business. When a woman gets into It she's either too posi tive or too negative. She always makes me aware she's a woman when I only want to concentrate on the weather. A tall, slim fellow with a flair for a good phrase and a talent for drawing, Antoine was a radio an nouncer for 13 yeara before they suddenly put him on the weather beat. In the past few years he's become such an expert that he's now writing a book about you know what. r My increased Interest In weath er since the advent of a TV set is shared by many, Antoine as sured me. His mall proves it- How fundamental weather Is to the hu- man condition is shown, he be lleves, by the fact that angry let ters almost always arrive In pe rlods of depressive weather. "Depressive weather seems to have a real relationship to cardiac conditions and the schizoid per sonality," he said. He pointed out: People generally are more In terested In weather during the winter than In summer. But the time of greatest Interest Is when a hurricane Is approaching. A fore cast of rain usually leads to some silly phone calls such as, "Will it rain by 11 o clock tonight?" "Weather Just isn't and I don't think ever will be that predict able," Antoine said. "It's like standing at the edge of the At lanttc and demanding to know Just wnat wave will wet your toes. Oreaon Weather Western Orecrnn Tnrrmlltfnt heavy at times. Little change in tcmnernture.

The bond Issue would be paid in 20 years at an average rate of J40 0O0 per year with three per cent Interest. The lirst yeara pay ment would be about 164.000 it was stated. The estimated cost of the new lines and plant total $746,000. The additional S54.000 has been asked to buy rights of way and the plant site and for any engineering contingencies. Although the trunk line on the east side ends near Painter Street, City Engineer E. A. Thomas aaid that the line could be extended to the McLoughlln Heights area for future buildmg at a comparatively small cost. PETITION In further business the council heard a petition from a group of interested citizens headed by John Howard, R. E. Veatch and Murdo Morrison asking Mayor Paul Lan dry to appoint a committee to study the city manager plan. Mayor Landry Indicated he would appoint a committee of nine to study the feasibility of offering the city manager plan to the city's voters In the future. City Attorney Henry Perkins said that the city's charter would have to be changed to allow the adoption of the city manager plan. Klamath Falls is the only city In Oregon with more than 500 population which doesn't have a city manager plan, said Mayor Landry. Due to the magnitude of the Job of rewriting the city's charter (adopted in 1913) It is not expected that any recommenda tions from the committee could be expected before a year. The mayor will name the committee sometime soon, he stated. GOC Leader Visits Fort Posts FORT KLAMATH T-Sgt.
