Millard Irwin, owner of the
warehouse, valued the building it

were driven to safety.
Herbert said one of his men
yelled there was a fire in the Ir
win part of the building.
"A second later we were sur
rounded by smrtke," he said. "We
could hardly see. We had to feel
our way out of the office. Mean
while, the ceiling was coming
down in bits and pieces. I never
saw anything happen so fast. We
lelt everything behind, even our
coats. We were lucky to get out
alive.

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.

WASHINGTON lPi It can be

about atomic physics. Some red

that lesson the tnrd way. j

In 1952, Brookhaven scientists
came out with an important atom -

at least 70 million dollars in the
construction of a powerful atom-

Here's the rub:
Christofilos had invented the

Green said Christofilos later
visited Brookhaven, told him of;

Green promptly telephoned

"They got his letter out cf the

Green said, the big atom-smasher

been started months eanlier than
it was.
