Senator Gore Gives Report On Red Plans For A-Plants WASHINGTON Ml Sen. Core (D-Tenn) said today the Russians told him they had started con atruction on two atomic power plants larger than anything the United Slates even has "in the talking stage." Gore, who returned yesterday from a European trip including five days in the Soviet Union, said he was not permitted to see either plant. But he added in an interview that he knew no reason to doubt the Russian claims. He said he was more determined than ever to push for strong U.S. moves to win the international atomic pow er race. The Russian experls told him one of the plants would generate 420,000 kilowatts of electricity and the other plant 400.000, Gore re ported. The completion date for both was set as l0. "We don't even have a 100,000 Itilowatt plant in prospect before 1061, he commented. "And any thing bigger than 200,000 kilowatts isn t even in the talking stage over here. The senator, who serves on the Senate - House Atomic Energy Committee, sponsored a bill last year for a 400-million-dollar pro gram of government construction of reactors. 11 passed the Senate but was beaten in the House with strong opposition from the Eisen hower administration. Gore contends such a program is essential because it is not economically feasible for private utilities to pour large sums into such wgrk now. The Russian atomic experts impressed him as "skilled, com petent, suave and maybe a mite confident," Gore said. He said his Impression was the nation has "what we would call a strict wartime regimentation of the economy. Printed Pattern II Actress Loses Child Fight LOS ANGELES 11 Actress Ma rie Wilson, her cheeks wet with tears, reluctantly gave up her ba by to the child's natural mother. The unwed mother, pretty Linda Leabow, a 21-year-old UCLA coed, took a long look at her daughter yesterday and said softly: "Ah, baby I love you." Miss Wilson and her husband, television producer Rob Fallon. turned over 3Vi-monlh-old Chris tine at a doctor's office shortly after they decided not to fight to retain custody of the child. The Fallons and Miss Leabow did not meet. The physician. Dr. Gilbert Jorgensen. took the baby from Miss Wilson's arms in one oom, then placed her in the arms of Miss Leabow, waiting in an ad joining room. Earlier, the Fallons issued a statement saying that they be lieved "further airing of this inci dent in court would only make a legal football out of an innocent baby and cause further grief to everyone concerned." They had been caring for the little girl planning to adopt her since short ly after her birth. Tho mother had agreed before Ihe child was born to give the Fal lons custody, but she later changed her mind and said she would fight any adoption attempt. After Christine had been turned over to her mother, Miss Wilson and Fallon returned to their Holly wood Hills home and to their pre viously adopted son, Gregsnn, 2. "We still want more children," Fallon said. 9053 EASYTOSEW Teens!

Vote Held For School Study Group The school boards and school committees of Klamath County had little difficulty electing a nine- member school reorganization study group which will view the schools and submit proposals rel ative to any recommended reor ganizational plans. Elected as members of the nine- person committee were Ray Gar rison, south suburban area, Klamath Falls: Ed Robinson, Klamath Falls; Wyatt Padgett, Klamath Falls; Scott Warren, Al- goma: Ed Stasny, Malin; Orin Sample, Gilchrist; Dave Camp bell, Bly; John Kerns, Keno and Elmer Lemlcr of Merrill. Elected as alternates for the committee were Paul Fairclo, Hen ley, first alternate: Louis Randall, Bonanza, second alternate: Nelson Reed, Klamath Falls, third alter nate; Letha Murphy, Klamath Falls, fourth alternate and Homer Clark, Keno, fifth alternate. All members of both the com mittee and the alternate group are now required to submit written acceptances to the posts. County Superintendent of Schools Carrol Howe, acting as secretary for the group, praised the school board members for hav ing elected a committee which is representative of the entire coun ty. He added that the reorganiza tional topic is not one to become apprehensive about, inasmuch as it will probably affect Klamath county to little or no extent. Howe pointed out that the reor ganizational bill approved by the last session of the Oregon Legis lature was designed to reduce the number of school districts in coun ties where there are numerous smaller units, and that the action was not meant to alter the pro grams in counties such as Klam ath where there are now only three well consolidated school districts. He added that he has talked with other school superintendents within the state, and it is the general opinion of the superinten dents that the county unit coun ties (those with a minimum num ber of school districts) should be exempt from provisions of the school reorganizational law. In addition to Klamath County, otner county unit counties are Hood River, Lincoln, Crook and Josephine. Howe said an attempt will be made to have the county unit counties exempt from provis ions of the law at the next Leg islature, and that the matter will be presented at the forthcoming special session if the opportunity presents itself.

A short time following that the firemen extinguished a fire which had originated in the Cozy Hotel rest room. The Cozy Hotel fire was on September 29 and Chief Rowe said his investigation indi cated that Hurley had been at the hotel a short time prior to the blaze outbreak. Rowe said Hurley became a No. 1 suspect on October 7 when the firemen were called to extinguish an office fire at the Klamath Val ley Hospital where Hurley was employed as a laboratory techni cian. Rowe said the blaze had been started by pouring acitone on the floor, one of the desks, and a filing cabinet. Wo were lucky on that one," Rowe said, "had we been a mo ment later the fire would have been moving out of control and our function would have been to move people out of the hospital rather than fight the fire. A short time following the Octo ber 7 fire. Howe intensified his investigation, and three days ago representatives of the state police arson squad were called into the case. Assisting Howe in the in vestigation were the city police, state police, and Captain Tucker and Lieutenant Beers of the state arson, squad. Rowe said Hurley never ad mitted being implicated in the fires, but at one point during the investigation he said. 1 could have done it but if I did I was blacked out at the time." Sheriff Britton recalled that Hur ley had insisted that he be able to write his wife a letter when being booked in the jail Thursday night. "I told him the lights were out at the jail, that it was 11 o'clock, and that I would make ar rangements for him to write the letter early Friday morning," Brit ton said. Hurley apparently agreed with the suggestion and went to his cell without further requests. Britlon said investigation indi cates that the man may have on two occasions been confined in Arizona mental institutions prior to coming to Klamath Falls. District Attorney Richard C. Beesley added that an autopsy will be performed on Hurley short ly to determine if he was a suicide. Beesley said that there is no doubt but that Hurley did take his own uie, but we must always confirm our suspicions. were polled by the chairman of the meeting, and their names en tered into the record as being in lavor or opposes to the plan. Mayor Lawrence Slater pointed out tnat tne Park Board was favor of the bypass, and that they were me ones primarily con cerned with any possible damage to veterans Memorial Park. Af ter the California Avenue bypass is esiaonsnea, Slater said the lots will be worth more. Unless we do something to give relief to the downtown area, many stores wiH move out." Slater pointed out, "Main Street pays a very good share of the taxes." He said, "We have no choice in the matter." Robinson concluded saying, "There has been no conclusive evidence that property values would not be depreciated. We're outnumbered, but I don't feel bad ly that we have come here to fight for what we believe is right." Williams terminated the hear ing, saying, "We'll send the trans cript of today's hearing to the State Highway Commission who will determine if they want to go ahead, then this will be subject to the approval of the Federal Bu reau of Public Roads. If they ap prove, construction will start about the Iirst of the year with completion in about two years You will be proud of it."

The planes are to be withdrawn rrom the project at West Palm Beach, Fla., by Nov. 15. The project was started about 18 months ago in an effort to im prove hurricane forecasting, and to determine whether the storms could be directed away from pop ulated areas. The Defense Department said it had agreed to provide three planes from July 1-Oct. 31 for the 1956 and 1957 hurricane seasons, but that it had extended the date to Nov. 15. The Pentagon comments came after the Palm Beach Times re ported it had learned the planes were being stripped of intricate scientific equipment used in storm research.

HI - The so-caHcd tight money market hasn't made itself felt on Ne vada's legal gambling tables. In fact, gambling house win nings during April, May and June, as reported to the Slate Tax Com mission, indicate that somebody has more money than ever to spend. Nevada casinos won 35 million dollars in those three months. That's 5'a million more than they won in the same period last year and only 4 million less than they took in during the record winning season of July August-Septembcr 1956. Summer figures for 1957 arc expected to set a new record. State officials are at a loss to explain the ever-increasing gam bling business. You seldom hear of major in dividual losses any more. The last oig one was s.tu,iwo lost by a man the night a plush hotel opened in Las Vegas last spring. In the late 40s. single losses up to $350,000 were not intrequent. "I guess there are iust more $5 and $10 players who lose their money quick and go on their way, said one top gambling official. Las Vegas accounted for about 60 per cent of the increased gam- oung lane. Keno showed only a nau-miiiion-ciouar increase com pared with the 3'4 million jump in Las Vegas. Pravda Tells War Danger MOSCOW. Wl Pravda He. dared Friday "the extremely grave situation" in Syria could lead to world war. The Communist Party news paper repeated Soviet charees that the United States' is urging Turkey to attack Syria and added: "U.S. armed forces stand ready to push themselves into the armed conflict they are preparing. Amer ican imperialists and Turkish ex tremists ... are playing a dan gerous game. Pravda said the Western press, particularly that in the United states, is trying to lull public opinion wun reports the situation in Syria is returning to normal, in order to launch a surprise at- tacK. The Pravda article followed charges by Soviet Foreign Min ister Andrei Gromyko in the United Nations. Gromyko asserted tne turkish general staff, aided by U.S. military advisers, planned an invasion of Syria immediately after the Turkish elections Oct. 27. Gromyko's charge and his warn ing that the Soviet Union stood ready to suppress such aggression with its armed forces was pub lished for the first time in the Soviet press Friday. He made the statement Wednesday.
