He said that the break In the transmission line from the Pit Rlv tr to Alturas and Lakeview was repaired at about 6:12 p.m. Tues day. Alturas and Lakeview had been receivina nower via an alter nate line from Klamath Falls, but this line went out at New Pine Creek between Lakeview and Al luraL'. This break, he said, left all cus tomers in Alturas, as well as all other customers from Hackamore, site of the first break, to New Pine Creek without power for sev tral hours. Meanwhile, high winds and ice broke several spans of wire and knocked down five poles on the line serving the Timber Mountain area This break, which occurred at about 8 p.m., will not be re paired until this evening at the earliest, Ritchcy said. Ritcticy said that Copco had been overly optimistic in Its damage re ports on a tap line from the trans mission line from Klamath Falls to Chiloquln. This tap line, serv ing about 40-50 customers In the Williamson River - Agency Lake area, was originally reported to have had five poles knocked down, but repair crews 'discovered 15 poles were down. With luck, the line should be re paired this evening, he said. Serv ice went out on it at about 9:20 a.m. Tuesday, when It and the en tire Chlloquin line went out. Serv ice on the main Chlloquin line was restored at 10:44 a.m. Tuesday. nitciiey said that the outages here were part of a system-wide problem caused by the storm and that many other areas, especially in the Rogue River Valley and the Yreka area, were having much worse problems. Meanwhile, power in Chemult, serviced by the Mid State Electric Cooperative of LaPine. failed some lime Tuesday morning, and has not yet been restored. A spokes man for the cooperative said that crews hoped to have the line re paired by this evening. Other areas served by the co operative are having trouble, and the full 27-man crew are out re pairing lines. Although some local distribution lines were out, power in La fine and crescent was, on the whole, uninterrupted, the spokesman said. Bus Boycott Sets Roundup MONTGOMERY, Ala.

"I also want to commend the President for his specific sugges tion that quota numbers that are - tion law admit about 12 times as many persons from Britain as from Poland. "In England." he added, "there Is freedom. Its people do not need a haven in America. Thus the British quota Is far from used. But in Poland, under communist trvanny, some people must emi- grate to America, if they hope to survive. The Polish quota Is far over subscribed.
