Power Line
Repair Work
In Progress
Storm-caused damage to power
transmission facilities is slowly be
ing repaired in this area, but there
are still some power users In the
Klamath Basin area without pow
er, sain Ruchey, district manager
for Uie California Oregon Power
Company, reported today.
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.

"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. Persecuted Poles
could use some of the unfilled
British immigration quotas, should
President Eisenhower's recommen
dations be followed."
In conclusion. Senator Neuber
ger said that during the 1954 po
litical campaign, he pointed out
that Oregon Republicans m Con
gress had supported harsh restric
tions in our immigration statutes.
"I am immensely heartened," he
said, "that the President, in his
fine message, rebuked those within
his own party who would Imperil
America's world wide reputation
as n sanctuary lor men and women
who have been oppressed in their
own lands."
