Firemen succeeded In prevent' ing the flames from spreading to a housing, project only 300 yards cast of the warehouse. Donald J.

MELBA'S SALON of BEAUTY Ph. 4-5330 llUIIIUIIUIUIWm Street Plan Draws Veto Members of the Klamath Coun ty Court have been advised by the State Highway Commission that the portion of Washburn Way from Eberlein Street to the A Ca nal cannot be improved with funds available for federal aid secondary projects. The commission pointed out that (he Washburn Way portion in ques tion is within the city limits, and that federal aid funds cannot be expended on projects within ur ban limits. The possibility of improving the road and installing a bridge across the A Canal at the north end of Washburn Way had originally been proposed by Francis Landrum, chairman of the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce Roads and Highways Committee. It was explained that the bridge and road improvement would make a favorable juncture with Alameda Street as the east side by-pass, and would at the same lime provide better access to the Ponderosa School.

It is known as the strong focusing principle" and stands to save Ihe United States at least 70 million dollars in the construction of a powerful atom- smashing machine. Here's the rub: Christofilos had invented the same thing and a year earlier. Green said Christofilos later visited Brookhaven, told him of; his invention and mentioned he had written to the California sci- enlists. Green promptly telephoned Berkeley. "They got his letter out cf the files." Green said, "and their faces were red." If they had read the letter, Green said, the big atom-smasher project at Brookhaven might have been started months eanlier than it was.
