Newspaper Page Textla The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Financial note: Government experts believe the lowering of reserve requirements for banks by the Federal Reserve Board yesterday will spur t h e na tion's "faltering" economy. The move will allow banks to loan as much as three billion dol lars. Two questions: 1. Will it help? 2. If so, how much? Personally, I think it all depends on who wants to borrow the mon ey and how much and WHAT FOR. For example: If this new expansion of credit enables you to borrow five hundred dollars to go to Las Vegas for a wiidk-end binge and you spend your week-end in the gambling places alone The Strip and lose your $500, it won't have done much to check the recession. But If you have CONFIDENCE In the future And if your confidence Is justi And if this new expansion of cred it enables you to borrow the new capital with which to expand your business and hire more people and add to the growth and development of your community and in the end MAKE SOME HONEST MONEY FOR YOURSELF Well In that event The lowering of reserve require ments by the Federal Reserve Board, thus making more loanable money available to people who know how to use additional capital profitably will be a real stimulus to our nation's economy. But NOT otherwise. If sound business people lack the CONFIDENCE to borrow the mon ey and use it wisely and construc tively and profitably this new cred it that has been made available won't help much. Let's get closer home. The Klamath country is now gen erally regarded as the brightest spot in the economy of the state of Oregon. It is one of the bright-and hopeful spots in the economy of the Pacific .Coast. , Let's look at this year. Some six or seven million dol lars are to be spent in housing con struction at Kingsley Field, in ad dition to other capital expendi tures. When Kingsley Field is ac tivated an annual PAYROLL of six and a half million dollars will be added to the economy of the Klam ath country. Early this spring, the new Johns Manville plant will go into opera tion, adding some 250 new jobs to me area s economy. Now a look at the future. After a dozen years or more of hard and constructive work the - water xesonroacsf- the' Klamath Basin have been made safe for the future. We now have more stored water than any other area between the Columbia river and Hoover Dam. Water is a PRIME industrial resource. After half a century of waiting. the power resources of the Klamath river, the No. 2 power stream of the American Pacific Coast, are now being developed. Nearly one Bonneville of power is under con struction. Another Bonneville of power remains in the river. After believing for 40 years that when the timber was cut the lum ber industry would pull up and move on and the country would be given back .to the jackrabbits and the coyotes, we have awak ened suddenly to the startling fact that we now have available for use far more merchantable timber than we had half a century ago. Because of GROWTH, it is a PER iHNENT resource. And so on. This point m closing: li we nave confidence in the future of the Klamath country the sky is the limit to our future development. If we LACK confidence, our de velopment will STOP about where it is. .." it Price Five Cento 24 Pagci 'Thrill Killer' Wins Parole SPRINGFIELD, 111. UV-Nathan Leopold, surviving member of the Loeb-Leopold thrill murder team of 1924, was granted a parole Thursday. The Illinois Parole and Pardon Board's announcement said Leo pold has been granted "a definite sentence parole. It added that "the location and occupation of subject is to be in vestigated by parole supervision immediately." That meant Leopold can get out of prison after investigation of his arrangements for a job and home. The division of parole su pervision handles the investiga tion, and there was no indication how long that would take. Leopold, 53 now, has served al most 33'i years in prison for his part in the slaying of 14-year-old Bobby Franks in May. 1924. Roger Touhy, onetime Chicago gang leader who is doing a long stretch for kidnaping and prison break-out. was also granted a pa role. His parole on the kidnaping charge makes it possible for him to be freed in August, 1939. Lconold has told the parol board he wants to work in a rural hospital operated by the Church of the Brethren at uananer, Puerto Rico. His partner in the wanton kill inn of young Franks Richard Loco was slashed to death by a fellow convict in prison in 1936. LeopoM made his latest bid for fc-eedom before the five-man board Feb.

His ton, Dave Beck Jr., a short while earlier had been fined $2,000 and his sentence deferred three years for taking $4,650 from the Teamsters. The much stiffer sentence hand ed the father followed lengthy arguments by defense attorneys pleading for leniency and the pros ecution's demand for harsher treatment. The up to 15 year sentence is mandatory under Washington law. The minimum term will be set by the State Board of Prison Terms and Paroles. Superior Judge George H. Re- velle and Prosecutor Charles O. Carroll both said they would rec ommend that Beck Sr. serve three years. Beck received the sentence with out any show of emotion. Staring out the sunlit courtroom window for a moment after the judge had finished speaking, he coughed softly and turned away. In sentencing the son an hour before, Judge Revelle had ordered Beck Jr. to pay court costs and to sever all connections with labor organizations, either as an em ploye or an officer. He said the restitution of the $4,650 should come from the 37-year-old labor leader's son's own funds. The judge told Beck Jr.: . "The factor with the greatest weight in the history of your life is that you as an adult did not understand that justice does not permit blind obedience to parents. That does make your case dif ferent than others that have come before me." The younger Beck had testified during his trial that he had turned the $4,650, derived from the sale of two union-owned Cadillacs, over to his father in the belief the money would be returned to the union. Ike May Trek To Phoenix THOMASVILLE. Ga. W Pres ident Eisenhower may visit Phoe nix, Ariz., . briefly Sunday if his wife decides to vacation in that area for a few days. Announcing this Thursday White House press secretary James C. Hagerty spoke of such a trip as still only a possibility. The President and Mrs. Eisen hower have been guests of former Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey at his plantation estate here for the last week. The press secretary said that Mrs.. Eisenhower has been want ing for some time to visit friends in Phoenix. If she decides to go, Hagerty added, the President may fly the First Lady out there bun day aboard his private plane, Col umbine II. Asked whether the First Lady is considering such a trip for health reasons, Hagerty replied: No, not at all. It has nothing to do with health at all. Ruling out more than a few hours stay in Phoenix for the President, Hagerty said E i s e n- hower has business engagements scneduled in Washington Monday morning. He has a major speech on foreign aid scheduled in the Capital Tuesday evening. Hagerty indicated that speech- seeking public support for the $3,942,100,000 foreign aid program he sent to Congress Wednesday- may be carried nationwide on ra dio and by the four principal net works. THE COUNCIL-MANAGER plan of government came in for pros and cons at this panel discussion in the Klamath County Library Wednesday afternoon, February 19. The League of Women Voters sponsored the discussion program. Shown here, left to right, are Coun cilman Walter Fleet, Sam Ritchey and Murdo Morrison', members of the Council-Manager committee and Councilman Floyd Wynne, all of whom spoke in support of the plan; moderator Floy Johnson, Mrs. Marguerite Kahl, Mrs. Pat Orminston, and Mrs. Dorothy Alward, league members who took the opposing view. Manager Plan Aired By LWV The Council-Manager form of government, which will be on the ballot for city voters on May 19, was the subject of a panel forum held yesterday in the Klamath County Library under the sponsor ship of the League of Women Vot ers. Floy Johnson of the league mod erated the discussion which was opened by Councilman Floyd Wynne who outlined the manager plan and pointed out the manager would be directly under the coun cil's, control. Councilman Walter Fleet listed some of the manager's duties, and how he would give the people more efficient government for less cost. Murdo Morrison, chairman of the citizens committee which drafted the Council-Manager plan for the city, and Sam Ritchey, a member of the committee outlined the com mittee's findings during two years' study on the project. Three league members,' Mrs, Marguerite Kahl, Mrs. Pat Ormin- stont and, Mrs. Dorothy Award, presented objections to the plan, Their objections centered about the possible cost of the city manager s salary, how much of a staff he would require, whether it might be dictatorial or not, whether it might be moving the government away from the people, and wheth er or not such a manager was needed.' The discussion period was high lighted by questions from the audi ence, and following the program a sample ballot taken indicated that all but one of the audience pres ent were in favor of the Council- Manager plan.

Reds Pushing For Summit Conference On Own Terms WASHINGTON The Soviet Union and Red China apparently are working on a concerted plan to put maximum pressure on the Western powers to hold a summit conference on Communist terms. U.S. officials found evidence of this today in the timing of two widely separated but remarkably similar actions within the past two days: 1. Communist C h i n a 's an nounced decision to withdraw troops from North Korea this year. 2. An announcement by the So viet commander in East Germany of plans to reduce the Soviet forces there by 41.000 men. In the United States view the Soviets and Red Chinese can take these actions at little cost to them selves indeed they may be neces sary for reasons unrelated to a summit conference yet make a show of relaxing tensions. Much the same thing happened before the 1955 summit confer ence, when the Soviet Union sud denly agreed to unification of Austria after years of stalling. By such means, as well as by the letters which Soviet Premier Bulganin has been writing to Pres ident Eisenhower, the Reds can hope to build up worldwide pres sure lor summit talks. They apparently hope that once the talks are started the demands for East-West agreement will be so great that the Western powers will be forced to make concessions to Soviet interests. Among other things, Bulganin has indicated the Soviet Union would like to neutralize Germany. The Soviets have also made clear they want to break down Western restraints on trade which would benefit their own industrial build up. and to get some kind of non- aggression pact which might have the long-range eflect of weakening the Western resolve to maintain costly defense systems. U.S. officials are extremely skeptical about the chances of get ting any real changes in Soviet or Red Chinese policy on issues pro pped by President Eisenhower. These include initial steps to limit armaments, control outer space for, peaceful purposes and build up the authority of the United Na tions, i Police Patrol School Area City police have intensified their surveillance of the area surround ing the Klamath Union High, School campus in an effort to preclude further outbreaks of violence in the area. Shortly after 2:30 Wednesday af ternoon the city police dispursed eight non-students who were report ed loitering around the Alameda bridge near the high school. The youths, ranging in age between 17 and 20. told investigating officers that they had no particular reason for being there , , , they were just there. They were instructed tq leave the vicinity and informed that fur ther wanton loitering in the school area could result in vagrancy ar rests. The youths were admonished but none was arrested. It was in the Alameda bridge area where a KUHS freshman was attacked Tuesday afternoon by three non-students' reportedly from the Chiloquin area. The freshman was badly pounded, a large num ber of students boiled out of the school to take part in the fracas, and the leader of the three youths who jumped on the freshman was taken into custody by county ju venile officials. The incident reportedly resulted in the scheduling of a pitched bat tle at Moore Park Tuesday eve ning. The planned melee was brok en up by city and state officers who took over at the park, arrested one 17-year-old for having a black jack in his possession, and told more than 200 students in 100 auto mobiles to leave the park and head tor their homes. The Sudanese Cabinet decided to appeal to the council. Egypt claims all territory north of the 22nd Parallel and would yield a small area south of the line. One portion of the disputed ter ritory sought by Nasser is a 6,000-square-mile desert triangle along the Red Sea. It has been run by Sudan to unify administration over the 10,000 wandering tribes men in the area who move back and forth across the parallel. The other is a finger extending north from the parallel along the Nile Valley for about 25 miles, The Egyptians claim that the people in the disputed areas have a .right to vote 'in tomorrow's plebiscite to approve the new United Arab Republic of Egypt and Syria and to elect Nasser as its president. Sudan holds parliamentary elec tions a week later. For either na tion to permit the territories to vote in the other's election might affect its claim to them. The dispute broke into the open Monday when troops were re ported moving into the areas from both sides. Sudan and Egypt de nied the troop movements, al though Egypt admitted sending in policemen to protect polling places. An Egyptian source said the plebiscite would be held tomorrow in the two areas as planned. He discounted the possibility of violence. Atlas ICBM Explodes After Firing CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. VH An Atlas Intercontinental Ballis tic Missile exploded in the sir Thursday 2 minutes. 20 seconds! after blasting off its launching pad at the test center here. The Air Force said the mighty missile blew up seconds after it ended the powered phase of its flight and went into its ballistic coasting trajectory. It blasted off the missile pad at 12:48 p.m. EST. No reason was given for the failure. The "Big A" roared' straight upward for about 30 seconds, then arched slowly over toward the east, leaving a vapor trail across the sky. Two minutes after the start of the flight, observers saw a huge ball ot fire and the Atlas could no longer be seen, " ' The Atlas was the same one the Air Force attempted to launch last Saturday. It belched fire and steam on that occasion but its en gines were cut off by the test con ductor a split second before it would have roared skyward. That one was the sixth Atlas, the Free World's only experiment al ilhm, to be. test flown. The first two were destroyed when they wavered off course soon after leaving the ground. The next two, the Air Force said, performed successfully over 600-mile ranges. The fifth one de stroyed itself four minutes after the blastoff, when it was 30 miles high over the Atlantic Ocean. No reason ever was given by the Air Force. The Atlas is designed to carry a nuclear warhead 5,000 miles at an average speed of 10,000 miles but it probably will be late this year before an effort is made to fly one the full distance. It also is being considered for possible use in the U.S. program to put bigger earth satellites into orbit. A second ICBM, the' Titan, is under construction but has not yet been tested in flight. WASHINGTON UB A House! investigating committee returned to the disputed Miami TV case Thursday with one member ex pressing concern over what he called the "backstage" manner that apparently applied to the FCC. Rep. Wolverton (RNJ), senior Republican en the committee, said a person wouldn't have, thought of appearing in federal court in the "backstage surreptitious manner that apparently applies to the FCC. i Wolverton said he thought some thing must be done so that a quasi-judicial commission would be free from the implication that it could be approached along po litical lines. A. Frank Katientine, a loser in the Miami case, was in the wit ness chair tor the second day in the committee a inquiry into al leged , pressures in the case. Katientines first day of testi mony had brought the names of Vice President Nixon and Sen. Ke- fauver (D-Tenn) into the hearings in connection with maneuvers to win the Miami TV Channel 10. Wolverton asked why there couldn t be the same atitude to ward the regulatory commissions as there Is toward the courts, Wolverton commented that the Interstate Commerce Commission had adopted a code of ethics. Wolverton read into the record a July 15, 1951 letter he said was written by Jerry W. Carter, na tional Democratic committeeman from Florida, to the FCC. He quoted the letter as saying H was "my pleasure" to recom mend Katientine and that "Kst- zentine has been a loyal Demo crat all his life" and is "entitled to aU the consideration good citizen and food Democrat is en titled to." Katientine. a stocky Miami Beach radio station owner, was loser in the four-way contest for the Channel 10 license. Chairman Harris (D-Ark) told newsmen his subcommittee hoped to finish with tne TV contest be fore calling Federal Communica tions Commissioner Richard A, Mack. - Mack Is Miami Democrat ap pointed by President Eisenhower to the commission m July 1955, Mack voted with the majority when the FCC decided 4-2 last year to give Channel 10 to Public Service Television, Inc., a subsid iary of National Airlines. An FCC examiner had recommended that Katientine. get it. Mack has termed "distortions" charges that he accepted money tne - case ' and that - he was pledged in advance to vote for Public Service. Katientine told of two visits to Mack in Washington before the unal FCC decision. Bu'. he eakt he never asked Mack to vote (or him. AH he wanted, he said, was a vote on the merits of the applica tion. He said he never tried to in fluence anybody to vote for him. Tne names of Kefauver and Nix- on were brought into the hearing tnrougn letters referred to in the testimony. In one letter, Nixon was .de scribed as the "right man" to ap proacn on behalf of Katientine. The letter, dated Oct. 13, 1955, wis written by Downey Rice, a Wash ington attorney and friend of Kati entine, to Daniel P. Sullivan, an other Katientine friend in Miami. Blast Razes Ship; 53 Die MANAMA, Bahrain W - A Brit ish freighter that put into this Persian Gulf oil port with a fire and 150 tons of explosives aboard exploded at her anchorage Wed nesday night, burned and partial ly sank. The ship's agent said 53 per sons were killed and 19 were in jured. The fire and explosion caused no damage to oil tankers nearby and did not endanger harbor in stallations. The 7.440-ton Seistan, one of the most modern ships in the British merchant fleet, was burning when she entered the Persian Gulf three days ago, en route from Liver pool with the explosives and other supplies ior the Iraqi oil lieldi. - Solons Okay Debt Increase WASHINGTON v? The Sen ate Finance Committee approved Thursday the full five billion dol lar boost in the debt ceiling asked by President Eisenhower effective until June 30, 1959. it did so after rejecting, by a vote of 10-5, a proposal by Chair man Byrd (D-Va) to limit the in crease to three billion. The committee acted on a bill passed by the House a month ago, 328-71,- to raise the amount of the debt the government can have outstanding. The increase is from 275 to 280 billion dollars. Byrd said he would not push on the Senate floor his move to hold the increase to three billion dollars. "I made my fight in the com mittee," he said. The senator said he expected the hill to come up on the floor early next week. The Treasury has been pressing for quick action because the current period is one ,n which its cash position is tight est. Byrd said "I am confident the Senate Finance Committee ap proved the increase in the debt limit only because of its belief that the administration had over estimated the income for the next year and under-estimated the spending. Heavy Rains Flood LA Area LOS ANGELES W - A hit-and- run storm dumped 2.32 inches of rain in 12 hours, swamped cars, flooded homes and streets, closed more than 100 schools and caused widespread damage here. Drying out and mopping up un der partly cloudy skies Thursday, soggy Angelenos beheld up to 24 inches of new snow visible at 3,500 feet on nearby mountains. The storm abated shortly after noon Wednesday, leaving: Damage estimated at perhaps a million dollars to a partly built 85-mlllion dollar steam generating plant of the Los Angeles Depart ment of Power. At least eight automobiles and two trucks completely submerged in 10 feet of water on the Santa Ana Freeway at Atlantic Blvd. A bridge under construction at suburban Torrance washed out, Nine Inglcwood factories closed by flood waters. At least 20 families temporarily evacuated from flooded homes in the South Bay area Manhattan Beach. Hermosa Beach, Torrance in many cases by skiffs plied over streets turned into, deep lakes. The Los Angeles River, normal ly dry or nearly so, filled with water. Office workers wading street rivers with skirts held above knees were a common sight. More than 100 employes had to leave an oil company building through back windows when eight feet of water filled the basement. Hatfield Hits Tax Program SALEM W Secretary of State Mark Hatfield. Republican candi date for governor, said Thursday that Gov. Robert D, Holmes and his finance director can't agree on how much the state budget should be in -the 'next bleonhina. Answering the Democratic gov ernor's - statement that. ''Mark doesn't understand the budget, ". Hatfield said the governor, has been talking in terms of a 310 mil lion dollar budget for the next- bi ennlum, while state. Finance Di rector John F, Richardson calls It 332 million. - Before the governor'! comment, Hatfield had said that Holmes wants a tax increase to support a bigger budget. Hatfield said the state now is spending 272 millions in the current biennium. . "If the governor thinks his fi nance director is wrong and his budget can be held to 310 mil lions," Hatfield said, "then . let him explain in what particulars they disagree, in the meantime, the public can understand that even a 310 million dollar budget represents an increase in spend ing of 40 millions in a single bien nium, and that every dollar of that must come from the pockets of the taxpayers. "The people of this state want and are entitled to relief from continuous increases in state taxes that go far beyond the nor mal growth needs of the state. "At a time when winter-unemployment is at a, peak and the economy is sagging, the prospect of a general fund budget increase of 40 to 60 million dollars shakes confidence in our present Demo cratic administration. . 214 Feared Killed In Mine CALCUTTA, India' Wl - At least 214 miners were believed dead Thursday after an explosion in India s most modern coal mini which flooded two other mines. Reports reaching here said only seven men emerged alive after the blast Wednesday night at Cht- nakurt colliery, about 200 miles northwest of Calcutta, A fire drove back rescuers. 1 The blast caught 186 night shift miners below ground. It touched off flooding of the neighboring Central Blowrah mine, where at least 20 miners were feared dead, and of the Ma -halbani mine farther west' at Jharia, - where IS miners were drowned. - The British-owned Bengal Coal Co., owners of the Chinakuri col liery, said cause of. the under ground explosion was unknown. The Chinakuri colliery is the pride of the Asansol coalfield.. It is the deepest in India with work ings 3,000 feet down. The last pit disaster in the region- occurred in August 1956, when a roof cave-in trapped 85 miners. Forty-six were rescued.

France I Sir Winston Chur chill's fever from 'pneumonia and pleurisy has dropped bat his con dition otherwise has not greatly changed, his secretary said Thurs day. i Montague' Browne, Churchill's private secretary, gave this offi cial bulletin on the 83-year-old Churchill's health: 'Sir Winston's condition is not greatly changed since yesterday. He is comfortable.' His strength Is maintained, and the fever is a lHtle lower." The bulletin was signed by Lord Moran, Churchill's personal phy sician who flew here from London Wednesday, and Dr. : David M. Roberts, his physician on the Riviera. Lord Moran gave the diagnosis of pneumonia at the base of the lung and pleurisy late Wednesday. Churchill's secretary said the former-British prime minister spent Wednesday "in good spirits;' read ing papers, talking to his family and dealing wltn correspondence. He also smoked two cigars, Browne noted. JUST ASKED THE WAT SAN LEANDRO, Calif. (UP)- Franklin E. Jarvis, . a convicted murderer who escaped from prison camp told authorities who recaptured him the reason he got as far away as he did was that he obtained directions from a San Francisco police officer. Demos, Republicans Revise Forecasts On U.S. Economy BLACK MARKET JAZZ MOSCOW (UPl-One of Rus sia's top composers. Vano Mura deli, said today that black mar keteers in Russia are doing a rush business in homemade phon ograph records of foreign jazz and "indecent" songs. In an arti cle in the newspaper "Evening Moscow," Muradeli criticized the Soviet record industry for the shortage in good classical and dance records, and said the lack is being exploited by the black marketeers. Muradeli did not mention where the jazz was re corded, but presumably It came from shortwave broadcasts. WASHINGTON OB Democrats and Republicans appeared to be retreating in opposite directions today on the politically potent is sue of when a business upturn will occur. An administration spokesman described as a "mistaken impres sion" the general interpretation that President Eisenhower, in a statement last week, predicted a business upturn in March. Meanwhile, congressional Demo crats got some private estimates that "real" unemployment may be considerably less than the gov ernments 4 '4 million figure per haps less than half that, with the remainder merely changing jobs or otherwise temporarily out of work. The advice was based on reports from Leon Keyserling, for mer Truman economic adviser. Some party leaders were cau tioning colleagues not to get out on a political limb with too much talk about a slump that might be offset rather quickly by increased government spending. Dr. Gabriel HaOce, special White House assistant for econom ic affairs, told a meeting of Stat broadcasting association presi dents that Eisenhower s statement of last Wednesday had been "mis read by some people." At that time, Elsenhower said: Every indication is that March will commence to see the start of a pickup In job opportunities. That should msrk the beginning of the end of the downturn In our economy. , . Hsuge said the President s lan guage "hardly seems to say that an upturn in the economy will come in March." He added that if improved employment for March was reported in April that "should constitute a good sign that the downturn wis ru -Jng out of steam." Adding that Sit economy is not likely to turn around on a dime, Hauge said it was his personal opinion the downturn would "slow to a stop during the second quar ter of this calendar year," SINGABILITY QUESTIONM ATLANTA (UP) -The Georgia Senate has passed a measure or dering revision of the state song to "make it more singable.' Polio Vaccine Use Explained "There still exists a misunder standing in the minds of some peo ple in Klamath County regarding the use and availability ot tax purchased Salk vncclne for the prevention of poliomyelitis," Dr. S. M. Kerron, Klamath County health officer, said today. "This misunderstanding has come partly from the fact that some counties In Oregon have been supplied with vaccine by their lo cal Polio Foundation for those per sons between the ages of 20 and 40," he added. Also causing some misunder standing is the fact that the Cali fornia Legislature appropriated several million dollars for the pur chase of vaccine for those of ages 20 to 40, the health officer indi cated. "The Klamath County Health Department has a small supply of tax-purchased vaccine remaining," Dr. Kerron said, but, we are lim ited by law to give this to pregnant women of any age and those p e r sons under 20. After our next clinic, which is set for March 20, we will be compelled to limit our adminis tration of the vaccine to second shots and booster doses." The clinic for second shots and boosters will be held on April 17 and it is expected that it will ex haust the supply of tax-purchased vaccine in this county. "There is a plentiful supply of commercial vaccine, however," Dr. Kerron said, "and persons from 20 to 40 years of age are urged to see their private physicians u avail themselves of this protec Uoa."
