Carter. The new phase involved motions by the 68 defendants in the $100 million fraud suit. The suit itself involves the trustees and heirs- grandchildren and great grand children ol cattle baron Henry Miller. Friday motions asked that, the case either be dismissed or there be a change of venue to the north ern division of the southern fed eral district court. The northern division sits in Fresno. Attorneys for the defendants ar gued that the land in question 45 square miles lies within the area of the Fresno court and there fore it is a local case and out of the jurisdiction of the San Fran cisco court. The attorneys included James D. Adams and Rodney K. Potter. De fendants include several large banking and oil companies. t- It " W AN ATOM EXPERT, Dr. Gerald Wendt, will address heuKlamath Falls Knife and Fork Club next Thursday at 6:45 p.m. in the Willard Hotel.

The dispatches said Putli led her men into Dati Wednesday be cause she suspected its inhabit ants had given information about ber to the police. Putli was described as riding at the head of the band, mounted side saddle on a horse and carry ing a rifle. She reportedly ordered her gang to tie 19 villagers to trees and then shoot them. Five were still alive, but in serious condition, when police ar rived. Robber gangs in Indian are called Dacoits. It took hundreds of police operating as a small army to flush Mansingh out of the central Indian wilds. His crimes reportedly ran into hundreds of murders, kidnapings and lootings. rums record was small time compared to that, before the Wednesday raid. But she was al ready sufficiently notorious to be the subject of legends, in the countryside. One story is that she some times carries her small baby in one arm and her rifle in the other as she rides at the head of her band. There also is a story that she ten in love with the bandit chief. Mansingh, learned the tricks of the Dacoit trade and then took over his gang when police killed him.

HERALD AND NEWS. Modern Freeways Prove Safest Method Of Travel By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM Wl The highway en gineers didn't decide to build free ways just because they are faster. A major reason is that they are safer. , The Oregon Highway Commis sion recently received a report from the federal Bureau of Public Roads which summarizes an in vestigation made in 19 states. It shows that on freeways, such as the R. H. Baldock Freeway be tween Portland and Salem, the traffic death rate is 2.8 per 100 million miles. On expressways, where access is only partly controlled and there are crossings at grade, the rate soars to 9.6, making this the most dangerous type of construction as far as fatalities are concernea. The rate on the old two-lane con vention highways is 8.0. There are , 174 injuries per 100 million miles on freeways, 240 on Court Upholds Murder Term SAN FRANCISCO (UP) The State Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of Charles E. Cole for the murder of Mrs. Helen Roberts in Vallejo in November, 1954. Cole's conviction previously had been reversed by the state Dis trict Court of Appeals on grounds that the testimony of a patholo gist, who had performed an autop sy on Mrs. Roberts, was inadmiss able. The state appealed the deci sion. Cole was sentenced to life im prisonment for shooting the 50-year-old woman with whom he had been living. Her body was found later near a road in Sutter County. The pathologist testified that he believed it impossible for the wound which killed Mrs. Roberts to have been self-inflicted. In affirming Cole's conviction, the Supreme Court said Friday that a conclusion that doctor's tes timony was inadmissable would amount to holding that the jur orsalthough inexperienced with gun shot wounds in suicides "could not have derived assist ance from a doctor who was an exnert on those matters and had personally examined the body and performed tne autopsy as a spec ialist on cause of death." DATE SET PORTLAND Wl Portland's Rose Festival will be held June 12-16 next year, me sponsoring association reported Friday. Leith Abbott, president of the Rose Festival Assn., said no de cision has yet been made on enter tainment for the stadium shows. CALHOUN'S KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON expressways or partly-controlled access roads, and 408 on other highways. NO EXPRESSWAYS Oregon won't have any express way construction. It will be all freeways from here on out. Another study shows the same results for freeways and express ways inside metropolitan areas. If the Baldock Freeway is to be a pattern, the speed limit on Ore gon s new freeways will be 70 miles an hour. This will apply on uoutes 99 and 30. Access to highways is limited by purchasing the access rights from abutting property owners. The Highway Commission can change present highways into freeways as long, as there aren't more than 10 business establish ments per mile. The commission will ask the Legislature to remove that restriction. It's usually too expensive, how ever, to pay for access rights on existing roads. So the commission generally builds over entirely new routes. In 1947, the Highway Commis sion asked the Legislature for per mission to change existing high ways into freeways. The Legis lature aid, but put that 10 or more restriction in. That's when the commission first decided to build the freeway be tween fortland and Salem. It couldn't possibly have changed Pacific Highway East into a free way with that restriction in the law. There was a big legislative fight over that law in 1947. with the motel owners vigorously op posing it. There will be another one in 1957. The commission says it needs to have the restriction removed in order to comply with federal regulations that will apply to re construction ot U. S. 99 and 30. Some parts of those present routes will have to be made into free ways. RESTRICTION The commission adds that if the Legislature doesn't take action, then the federal government will come in and do the Job. However, the commission isn't just asking for unlimited rights to restrict access on those two routes. It wants to do it over the whole highway system. The commission reports that nearly everybody thinks the Bal dock Freeway is wonderful, but there are some complaints. r or instance, one state official complains that the commission is falling to put the mileage on high way direction signs. A sign points to Portland, for instance, but doesn't sav how far it is. The commission answers that It can't put the mileage on the signs until the construction program is completed. With new construction oroiccts constantly shortening dis tances, (he commission would be constantly changing the mileage figures, too. BiGELOW Ran usicerno .
