HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1957 PAGE FOUR Power Plan Veto Urged WASHINGTON W - The Fed eral Power Commission was urged by the chairmen of two powerful Senate committees Tues day to turn thumbs down on the Idaho Power Co.'s plans for fi nancing construction of its Brown lee Dam on the Snake River. In a joint letter to Chairman Jerome Kuykendall of the FPC. Chairman Magnuson (D-Washl of the Interstate and Foreign com merce Committee and Chairman Murray (D-MonU of the Interior Committee said there "are seri ous doubts ... as to the economic soundness of the development Murray and Magnuson are both leaders in a Democratic move to obtain federal construction of a high dam in the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake River. The federal site would be flooded out by Brownlee and two other low- level dams planned by Idaho Pow er. The power company has asked the FPC for permission to issue 15 million dollars worth of bonds and 225,000 shares of common Block to finance Brownlee, which is about 50 per cent complete. In - their letter, Magnuson and Murray also said Idaho Power would face a financial loss by sell ing its surplus, 7.6-mill-a-kilowatt-hour power from Brownlee to the Bonneville Power Administration, which sells federal energy for 2 mills. The senators said BPA would be Idaho Power's only sur plus power customer. "Is Bonneville to purchase this power at its cost and absorb the loss . . , then sell it at the post age stamp (2 mill) rate?" the sen ators asked. "It would appear that the Idaho Power Co., in its eagerness to pre-empt the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake Hiver, now finds it self drowning in its own high cost power surplus, Magnuson and .Murray said. U.S., Egypt Situation Eyed CAIRO (UP)-The next two weeks may provide a critical turn ing point, for better or for worse, .. in relations between Egypt and 4he United States, western diplo matic sources said today. The sources, not Americans, said the United States may be able to turn the tide of its relations with all the "neutral" Arab nations do spite the latest psychological vic tory the Soviet Union scored with Sputnik II.

Talks on this arc known to be going on through U.N. Secretary General Dag Hainmarskjold. And there are strong reports Here that World Bank President Eugene Black is coming to Cairo soon to talk to President Gamal Abdel Nasser, presumably about the settlement of that issue and the future development of the canal. Agreement on canal compensa tion would clear the way for the unblocking of Egyptian govern ment funds in the united States, now about $2,600,000. Westtrn diplomatic sources be lieveJt would clear the atmosphere of some of the present bitterness and offer both sides a new chance to patch up hard feelings. Truck Driver Escapes Death PORTLAND Hi A truck driver kicked out the windshield of his burning gasoline tank truck and escaped with cut hands Tuesday. The truck overturned on the traffic interchange between S.W. Harbor Drive and tho Ross Island Bridge. Burning gasoline spread over the area, and 80 firemen and 20 pieces of equipment fought the flames. The driver, Oliver Wendell Holmes, 46, Portland, said he was driving slowly when all at once he felt the trailer lifting up over him. The trailer tipped on its side and pulled the tractor with it. Holmes said the connection be tween the two may have broken. Traffic was jammed for blocks as the truck and its 7.500 gallon gasoline cargo burned. There were explosions possibly Iroin tires on the truck and trailer. Firemen kept the flames from spreading to buildings in the area. Police Arrest Young Bombers PORTLAND W Police caught two bombers Tuesdav night. They were 13 and 14 years old. Patrolmen saw the boys run ning from a street corner in north Portland, nabbed them and went back to the corner, where they j luuiia a one-ounce Dottle lilled with black powder. Police said It would have caused property damage, but the luse failed. Potato Shipments I SEASON'S 56-57 57-51 Dally Truck Ore. 19 H Pally Rail Ore. 7 j Dally Truck Calif. H S Daily Kail C'alH.

Wednesday she was to undergo a medical examination in the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital here, another immigration re quirement. Next she plans to fly to Honolulu to join her father. Miss Young, who was born in Chungsoon, China, Nov. 6, 193C. left Hong Kong Tuesday with only 12 hours to go by local time to meet the U.S.. immigration dead line.

Mayor Of NY Reelected By Record Vote Margin NEW YORK i.fl Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner won a second term last night by 920.000 votes largest majority ever rolled up for a mayor in the history of the nation s largest city. The son of the late New Deal senator. Robert F. Wagner Sr., amassed 1.507,342 votes to 587,440 for Republican Robert K. Christen- berry, a hotel executive backed by President Eisenhower. The size of Wagner's victory Space Travel Said Restful LONDON Wi Moscow radio said today that nothing could be more restful than a junket through space. Tests have shown that human beings isolated from the pull' of gravity become accustomed to weightlessness, a broadcast to North America said. ' It added that this "provides the best form of rest for human be ings."' .Moscow radio said 16 persons took part in a series of experi ments under simulated space Might conditions. Five at first had illusory sen Rocket Crash Date Forecast SAN FRANCISCO (UP) A group of University of California scientists have calculated that the rocket orbiting with Russia's Sput nik I will crash to earth about Dec. 11. "That's an approximate date." said Dr. Leland E. Cunningham, UC astronomer. "We can be in error by as much as three or four days." , Cunningham said the prediction of the rocket's doom was the work of electronic computers at the university's Livermore radiation laboratory. The computers fed data supplied by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Laboratory at Cam bridge, Mass., and by Cunning ham. Cunningham said he and the Livermore technicians are trying to revise their prediction, "to make it more accurate." "About Dec. 11," Cunningham said, "the rocket will go into a rather steep dive all of a sud den. It's hard to say how quickly this will be." "But we believe the rocket will be pursuing a comparatively nor mal orbit one day and then three or four days later it will be down. He predicted Sputnik I will re main aloft for at least another month. Ship Okay After Storm HAMBURG, Germany The four-masted German sailing ship Passat resumed its Atlantic voy ago with all hands safe Wednes day after causing widespread alarm with distress calls Tuesday night. 1 he Passat s sister ship, the Pamir, was lost with 80 men Sept. 21 in a storm near the Azores. Only six of those aboard were saved. As the Passat turned to ride out a storm Tuesday night, 500 ; man making his first campaign miles southwest of the Spanish j for elective office, accused the ad port of Vigo, its grain cargo ministration of waste, of allowing shifted and the vessel began to 'be school system to deteriorate, list heavily. and of failing to cope with crime The captain radioed the ship's operators, Zerssen and Coll, of!

The lirm also rii. patched two rescue tugs from I vigo. i The Passat's emergency call sent the British motor vessel Rangitata hurrying to assist. But the sailing ship righted itself by flooding a ballast tank. The cargo then was secured to balance the vessel.

Cooler I luck at 7:30 and all members are weather was forecast in Virginia I asked to brum thi ir own i.-iWp and Pennsylvania. I was being studied in political cir cles for possible national impli cations. Democratic Gov. Averell Harri man was quick to say it reflected voter disillusionment with "the form of Republicanism you see in Washington under President Ei senhower and Vice President Nix on." Other Democratic leaders spoke in similar vein. The triumph raised the question -whether Democratic leaders would call upon Wagner to strive fori higher office although he has said) that "God willing" he will serve i out his four-year term as mayor. Wagner captured every one of Ihn ritv' five hnrnnohe nH ra particularly well in Manhattan's predominantly Negro Harlem sec tion. Political circles had awaited the Harlem outcome with special in terest to see whether its normal Democratic majorities would be reduced by the efforts of Demo cratic Gov. Orval Faubus of Ar kansas to block school integration in Little Rock. , The mayor's margin in Harlem was about 4 to 1, compared with Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson's edge of about 2 to 1 in the same area in the last presidential cam paign. Wagner always has run well in Harlem. He has espoused the New Deal philosophy which has wide spread Negro support, and spe cifically denounced Faubus' ac tion. The largest plurality run up pre viously in a mayoral race was 694,000 for Democrat William O'Dwyer in a three-cornered race in 1945. Wagner had the Liberal party as well as the Democratic nomi nation but could have won on the Democratic line alone. The I.iher - al line on the vntino machines! ; gave him 219,096 votes. The Democrats also scored vie- lories upstate. They wrested may oraltics from the Republicans in eight cities, and themselves lost control in three, for a net gain of five. Additionally, the Republi cans in Oswego lost City Hall to a Liberal. ' Democrats took over in Amster dam, Canandaigua, Corning. King ston, North Tonawanda. Lacka wanna, Glenns Falls and Johns town, while retaining control in Buffalo, the state's second largest city. Republicans ousted Democrats in Peekskill, Hornell and 'i'ona- wanda.

The Democrats backed the con stitutional convention proposal which most of the Republican leaders' opposed. The Democrats had hoped to win control o a con vention and among other things put through a reapportionment of legislative seats. Elected with Wagner were his two running mates, Council Pres ident Abe Stark and Comptroller Lawrence Gerosa. lhe Democrats also increased their representation on the 25-mcmber City Council from 23 to 24.

The results indicated the shots found the mark, especially in the central and southern areas where the Negro population is sub. stantial to heavy and the Negro vote small. Near complete returns gave AI mond 63.73 per cent of a vote that topped a half million, a record for Virginia in a non-presidential election. When The Associated Press ceased tabulation at 2 a. m. more than 9'4 per cent of the vote was reported. Returns from 1854 of the state's 1908 polling places showed Almond 320,266; Dalton 182,251.

Liv ingstone Dillow (R) 153,279, Republicans made their biggest push in years to try to enlarge their representation in the 100 member Virginia House of Dele gates. They came out where they went in with six. ' Dalton, with no illusions about his second challenge to the 30 year dominance of the organiza tion headed by Sen. Byrd (D Va), never claimed a victory. He hoped for a strong showing, ap proaching tne 4a per cent he rolled up against Gov. Thomas B. Stanley four years ago when the total vote was 412,000. The use of federal troops at Lit tle Rock according to the Dem ocratic leaders gave them all the clincher they needed. Almond will take office Janu ary 11, three days after the 1958 Legislature convenes for its reg ular 60 day session. The Assembly will look to Almond for possible repair work on its legal program of massive resistance, already dented by federal court decisions. This program ultimately closes any public school which is inte grated under court order. If a lo cality insists on operating its school in accord with the court order state funds for similar school sin that district would be cut off. Four Virginia localities already are under federal court orders to desegregate but the effective dates have been stayed thus far by .ap peals.
