coap Baiting Programs Halted After Birds Found Dead Soviets Send New Bid For Summit Talk To Ike TULELAKE All distribution of poison grain for mouse control in Modoc and Siskiyou counties has been temporarily halted as a result of the death of over 500 waterfowl which recently occurred in the Tulelake Basin. U.S. Fish and Wildlife authorities and agricultural representatives . met in Tulelake Thursday to study the problem and strive for a satis factory solution. The sudden death of the birds has been tentatively . traced to the aerial application of oat groats which were poisoned with 1080 Saturday morning. Ex perts point out that since fall over 60 tons of poison grain have been distributed over 15,000 acres with no significant - waterfowl losses. The program In Modoc and Sis kiyou counties has been carried out in accordance with the best available information supplied by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. la The- 'Day's News By FRANK JENKINS This tangled modern world note: The Los Angeles city bureau of public assistance is asking for MORE employees to handle the growing numbers of unemployed workers who are seeking relief, That is to say: As- private jobs are lost because of the much-talked-about recession the slack is taken up by the new public employees needed to take care of those who have lost their private jobs. That must be one of these new fangled built-in-gadgets to prevent another depression that we hear so much about. This frazzled-nerves modern life note: A Chicago man obeyed an im pulse the other day to kick a lady in the shins. During the melee that followed, he bit a policeman, then he bit another policeman and after that he tore the sleeve from the uniform of a third cop. It tied up traffic in the crowded Loop dis trict tor 15 minutes. ' The excited disturber of the peace (he weighed 265 pounds) was finally run down and taken into custody by a posse of police and volunteers. When questioned, HE HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR HIS BEHAVIOR! Hmmmmmm. Haven't you felt exactly that same impulse at times? It's worse now than it used to be. In the olden golden days we went out on the back porch and kicked the cat. In these modern days there's no back porch to kick the cat off of. Fantastic,, world of J.. tomorrow Lieutenant General Clarence Ir Vine tells an Electronic Association meeting in Washington the Air Force is considering a space sta tion built to operate more than 20,000 miles above the earth. He says such a station could hover over any part of the world and adds that some scientists es timate three such stations could keep the entire earth under con stant surveillance. The heck of it: If we can do that, the Russians can do it and 20,000 miles is aw fully high- up to wage a battle. If someone fell off the edge of the darned thing, he'd . get badly bruised in the fall, A final thought: Back in the early 30's we were living in what the professionals called a "mature" economy. We had done everything there was to do. We had seen everything there was to see. We had gone every where there was to go. We had thought everything there was to think. The birth rate was shrink ing and the population was. falling, The result was a hair-curling de pression that lasted until we were yanked out of it by a war in 1941 Now we face a new world. We talk as glibly about interplanetary travel as we used to talk about going over into the next county to visit Aunt Jane. We look forward casually to running our ships and our planes and our trains and our cars with nuclear power. Every where we look, there is something NEW to be seen. Everywhere we turn, there is something NEW to be done. How can there be a hair-curling depression in a world like that? Police Officials To Check On Marie's Kidnap Siory LOS ANGELES (UP)- Invest! giitors of the Los Angeles Police Department were scheduled to fly to Cincinnati today to talk with Marie (The Body) McDonald about charges that her kidnaping in 1957 was engineered by her husband, wealthy shoeman Harry Karl. The blonde actress made the charges against Karl Wednesday after the manufacturer revealed here he had asked Miss McDonald for a divorce. The two officers, Chief Investi gators Julian R. Blodgett and Det. Lt. Herman Zander, planned to meet with the district attorney of Cincinnati and then talk with the actress. Karl termed lis estranged wife's charges "absurd and ridic ulous." "It's absurd and ridiculous and I think it's in bad taste to get publicity through this method." Karl said. "I feel sorry for Marie She Deeds i great deal of help." Theories entertained regarding the recent bird deaths by the experts indicate an explanation might be found to lie in the fact that natural foods are extremely scarce at this time. In the poison operation which took place Saturday 60 acres in the Panhandle area were baited with 600 pounds of poison grain while another 28 acres were baited with 280 pounds of yellow dyed groats. The dead birds be gan to be noticed the next day and an aerial survey revealed even greater numbers. Poisoning operations were voluntarily brought to an immediate halt by the agriculturalists in the two counties. Nearly 20 representatives from both Oregon and California gath ered at the Tulelake Refuge Head quarters to discuss the situation and to attempt to work out a pro gram for continuing the mouse baiting with maximum safety. In view of the recent develop ments, Klamath County Agent Charley Henderson said the bait ing program would be continued as planned in this county. He pointed out that there have been no indi cations that bird life is being af fected by the zinc phosphide poi soning program in Klamath Coun ty. However, he said, should subsequent developments indicate otherwise we would subject our program to additional study and possible modifications. Jobless Fund Hits 'Bottom' SALEM OP The state unem ployment compensation trust fund dropped this week below the $31, 500,000 "floor," thus assuring a big increase in employers' payroll taxes next month. This means that all employers will pay 2.7 per cent of their pay rolls. This rate will be double the current average rate, and up to nine times what it was in some cases last year. Last year the payroll tax rate ranged from .3 to 2.7 per cent but the bottom rate since January 1 has been .6 per cent. The trust fund has been falling rapidly under the impact of heavy unemployment since early last fall. The commission estimated there were 73,600 jobless persons on March 1, or 1,400 fewer than the winter peak a month earlier. The commission paid out $5,811.- 681 in benefits during February, That was. the second largest monthly total on record, being ex ceeded only by the $6,884,704 total for the previous month. Nine thousand persons have ex hausted their current benefits They cannot draw any more until after July 1. ... . .'. r. " .

EASIER TO READ TOKYO (UP) One of the big gest complaints of foreigners here is the Japanese bureaucracy. But one government office is going out of its way to make things easier for foreigners the Income Tax Bureau is sending out its forms in English. A spokesman for the shoeman said he had "gone to the desert for a couple of days. District Attorney William Mc Kesson said he had asked the Hamilton County, Ohio, officials to hold a conference with the actress. "Her press statements indicate Uiat both she and Karl committed perjury before the Los Angeles I County Grand Jury," McKesson said. "This matter cannot be ignored. "Also she charges him with con spiracy to commit kidnaping, an other felony." Miss McDonald was kidnaped from her home Jan. 4, 1957, by two men and left about 24 hours later in the desert near lndio, Calif. Karl and the actress have been in constant marital difficulty since their marriage about U years ago. They reconciled the last time in July of last year and then parted in December. Price Five Cents 24 Page US Experts Search For To Mystery Of Missing BULLETIN CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla IB The mea who built Explorer II and Hi associated high speed rockets said Thursday the satel lite probably failed to orbit. This means that the Intended companion of Explorer I plunged earthward some time after at taining orbital altitude of 200 or more miles above the earth. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. OP Moonwatch teams geared them selves today for a sky search for the Army's newly launched and mysteriously missing satellite Ex plorer II. At the same time the conviction grew that the six-inch metal cyl inder, 80 inches long and weighing about 32 pounds, never achieved an orbit. Officials of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency and of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which built the high speed upper stages were unavailable for comment. Wernher von Braun, German-born head of the Army space program, left for HuntsviUe, Ala., before reporters could ' question him about the launching. Experts said that failure of the final stage to fire on cue would have meant that the satellite, even though it was at orbital altitude of 200 or more miles, would achieve a velocity of only about three miles a second as against the five miles a second needed to maintain an orbit 10,800 miles an hour instead of 18,000. This in turn could mean that the satellite would tumble into the South Atlantic, or into Africa or the Indian Ocean beyond. The cylinder would have trav eled less than halfway around the world before tumbling down through the atmosphere. Army sources said that if the Six Feared Down In Sea KODIAK. Alaska OP A char tered airplane carrying six - per sons vanished over the misty Gulf of Alaska east of here Wednes day and was presumed to 'have crashed into the sea. The twin-engined Aero Com mander, piloted by Sig Staveland from Cape Cherikof to Anchorage; disappeared after Staveland radi oed that both engines had quit. At the time of last radio con tact. Staveland gave his position as 23 miles east-northeast of Ko diak, in the vicinity of Marmot Island. The Civil Aeronautics Adminis tration at Anchorage said three of those with Staveland were Dale Roetman and George Stiles, em ployes of the Alaska Aggregate Corp.: and Henry P. Herlyn, a Phillips Petroleum Corp. geologist. All were from the Anchorage area. At Bartlesville, Okla., A. A. Ben nett of Phillips' foreign depart ment said Bert Poling, general manager and vice president of Alaska Aggregate, was one of the passengers. The plane was. under charter to Philips. The CAA said Staveland radioed after leaving Cape Cherikof that one engine had failed. The CAA directed him to land at Kodiak, but he radioed before reaching here that the second engine had cut out. The CAA last made contact with him at 11 a.m. Six Coast Guard and Navy boats started an immediate search. A Civil Air Patrol plane participated in the search until nightfall. Strike Enters Second Day NEW YORK OP The strike of more than 105,000 garment work ers entered Its second day today, with a union official saying the walkout is 100 per cent effective. Signaling their first major strike in 25 years, members of the In ternational Ladies Garment Work ers Union left their jobs yester day in nine Eastern states. Julius Hochman, general man ager of the union's Dress Joint Board, said not only was the strike call 100 per cent effective, but that dressmakers in 50 non union shops also joined the strike There are some 25,000 workers .in such related fields as belt-making, embroidery and garment trucking. The dispute over wages and con tract enforcement affects about 72 per cent of the nation's dress pro duction in New York state, Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Mas sachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Is land, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland. The union struck for a 15 per cent wage raise and a 35-hour work week for piecework dress makers who make up 80 per cent of the strikers. The employ ers offered 5 per cent and over time after 374 hours. Present wages average $2.10 an hour here. but are 50 to 75 cents an hour lower in sorpe other areas. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, final satellite stage failed to fire properly and no orbit was achieved, the missile's speed would have been insufficient to cause it to burn up from atmos pheric friction on the descent. They said it might break apart from the stresses of such a fall, however, and return to earth in shattered pieces. In Washington last night Dr. Richard Porter, chairman of the earth satellite panel of the U. S. National Committee for the Inter national Geophysical Year, told newsmen there was "some indi cation that the satellite is .not functioning normally." Porter said there had been indi cations from the Minitrack radio tracking station here and at one other point that the fourth" stage did not function. "There is other Information. however, that it probably did and tnat the difficulty is more prob- my in the radio- transmission Air Base Commander dies Additional Housing Need Lt. Col. Raymond A. Thornton, Kingsley Field commander, told the second forum meeting of the chamber of commerce in the Wi- nema Hotel Wednesday that the local oase will not be fully activat ed unless there are an additional 300 housing units for a full com plement of Air Force personnel. To a packed banquet room,, the colonel pointed out that even with the construction of the 290 units of Title VIII Capehart Housing, the additional units are needed., He said that despite the fact that the Air Force has spent 17 million dollars to plug the defense Lt. Col. Raymond Thornton gap between San Francisco and Portland, Kingsley Field, and oth ers like it, will never be fully operational unless something is done. He said that one solution would be to have the community house the additional personnel. Placing the problem squarely in the lap of the community, the Kingsley Field commander said, "If something is not done by the community of Klamath Falls, it could mean limited operational ac tivity at this important air defense base." To emphasize the importance of O o f si-' ""'l'l'i Si " y ' BECOMING NEW CITIZENS were fhete seven perioni who took the oath of allegiance in the Klamath County Circuit Courtroom Wednesday morning, M.irch 5. Mary DeLap, extreme right, was in charge of arranging a special program. New citizens, left to right, seated, Wally Liska Jansien, Dairy; Cathryn Mary Johnton, Malin; Laura Louise Near ing, 434 North Sixth Street; back row, Patrick McSweeney, 4028 Summers Lane; Martin Prestenien Nygard, 2222 Orchard; Joan Helga Bingham, 809 Mitchell, and Maria Angela Carver, 4639 'i South Sixth Street. They were sworn in by Circuit Judge David R, Van denberg. Representatives from the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and Cub Scouts led the group in a flag salute, and words of welcome were extended by Mrs. H. A. Nittchelm, DAR; Irene Pofeet, American Legion Auxiliary; Berniee Malme, VFW Auxil iary; Violet Koehn, League of Women Voters, and Tbelma Litienberger, Moose Lodge, THURSDAY. MARCH 6. 19S8 equipment," Porter added At Pasadena, Calif., Dr. Wil liam Pickering, head of JPL, said there was every indication that the satellite was not functioning properly and that there was a probability that it was not in or bit. Pickering said it probably wduld take several days to interpret technical data sufficiently to find out what had happened. In Cambridge, Mass., the Smith sonian Astrophysical Observatory said it was alerting Moonwatch teams to be on the lookout for Explorer II even though it had not been determined whether it was in orbit If in an orbit, the satellite would not be visible in the United States until next week, the observatory said At Iowa City, Iowa, Dr. James Van Alien, who directed construc tion of decoding equipment in the satellite, said there were three additional housing, the colonel pointed out tnat upon ac tivation of Kingsley Field, the Air Force will spend approximately $500,000 per month or six million dollars per year. "This amount does not include the money that the Air Force will spend for goods and service in the construction and maintenance of the base," he said. He also said that when the figure of six mil lion dollars is divided by the 30. 000 inhabitants of the Basin, it amounts to $204 per capita per year. As you can see, this addi tional income will certainly affect the community. In other action, the colonel spoke on the merits of the recent Ralph J. Cordiner report. This report ad vocates a merit pay system for military, personnel and provides for the attraction of ' intelligent men, provides incentives to match the effort or contribution of the in dividual, places more emphasis on technical skills and less on time in service and is flexible enough to keep pace with changing times, the colonel believes. He stated that the Russian air man receives double pay for being stationed in remote areas or some times triple pay if he is with a unit that has performed meritori ous service in combat. However, regardless of technical skills, the U.S. airman, whether he is cook or mechanic, receives the same pay. In his summation, Thornton said that if the Cordiner plan is adopted by the services, it will provide increased air power at less cost to the taxpayer. He noted that because trained technical men are leaving the service, an incentive for them to stay will cost less be cause of the price to train new men for the job. SOVIETS PROVIDE PLANE MOSCOW (UP)- The Soviet government today provided a twin-engined Ilyushin transport plane for three Americans who are in Russia to observe the March IB elections. The Ameri cans, who arrived Wednesday from the United States, will use the plane to visit other Soviet cit ies before the elections. The ob servers are guests of the govern ment in exchange for three Rus sians who observed the 1956 U.S. elections. No. 4038 Answer Satellite possible reasons why the second satellite had not been located. Van Allen said the satellite might not have achieved an orbit, might have gone into a different orbit than was expected, or might have sustained failure of its radio. Information from the rocket in dicated that, exactly as planned, the Jupiter-C: Bored up through the sky for two and a half minutes to an alti tude of about 50 miles, at which point its rocketdyne engine gulped the last of its secret, powerful new hydyne iuel. Coasted on upward for four min utes to an altitude of about 200 miles, and then tilted over to the horizontal. Jolted forward with terrific ac celeration for six seconds, as the 11 rockets of its second stage fired up and as the spent Redstone fell away into the ocean about 500 miles off the Florida coast. Shot away to new velocities, for six seconds, as the three rockets of the third stage fired. It was at this point that the ft nal stage, a single rocket mated with the satellite capsule into an 80-inch tube, was to have ignited and pushed the rocket to orbital speed. And this, said some persons who claimed to know, was where Ex plorer II failed. Porter said an effort would be made to start one of the two ra dios aboard the missing satellite. He said that triggering radio beams would be aimed at the ap proximate orbit area planned for the satellite. , If the satellite is anywhere around and the radio equipment is undamaged, lt should be pos sible to induce the radio to start sending signals, he added, Row Erupts At Hearing WASHINGTON OP Lyman C. Conger, counsel to the Kohler Co., told the Senate Rackets Commit tee Thursday he had been cursed in its hearing room by Emil Mazey, secretary-treasurer of the United Auto Workers Union. ' 1 Conger's angry protest set off a round of heated shouting. At one point Chairman McClel lan (D-Ark) threatened UAW Atty. Joseph L. Rauh with expulsion from the room. McCIellan told all concerned he would seek contempt of Congress prosecution if he finds anyone threatened Conger or oth er witnesses. Rauh told the committee the ex change between Conger and Ma zey had occurred in the hearing room Wednesday night. He said Conger had told Mazey he "had spies following Mr. Mazey." McCIellan finally told all con cerned: . "You folks who want to have a quarrel and cuss each other out, get out of here." Conger told the committee Wednesday the company hired private detectives "to get infor mation about violence" which has marked the 47-month-old UAW strike against the Wirconsin bath room fixtures firm. The commit tee is investigating the strike. Conger told the committee Thursday that shortly after the hearing recessed late Wednesday Mazey "approached me In a threatening manner and unloosed against me such foul language I would not repeat it here unless in structed by the committee to do so. Telephone TU 4-8111 WASHINGTON OP Soviet Pre mier Bulganin sent President Ei senhower a new message Thurs day. It reportedly dealt with ne gotiations for a summit conference and Eisenhower's bid to leading ttussian citizens to visit this coun try. The message was delivered to Secretary of State Dulles by Am bassador Mikhail Menshikov. Dul les asked Menshikov to return to the State Department four hours later and get a U.S. note to Mos cow on Russia's proposal for a pre-summit foreign ministers' meeting. . The U.S note is expected to welcome Russia's agreement last week to hold a meeting of foreign ministers but to reject as totally unacceptable Soviet terms for such a meeting. The United States par ticularly objects to an advance commitment to hold a summit conference. It also finds unac ceptable Russia's insistence that the foreign ministers should be limited to talking about mechan ical arrangements. Menshikov went to the State De partment with Bulganin's message immediately before- making a speech at the National Press club. Lincoln White, department press officer, said Menshikov gave Dul les two documents in the course of their seven-minute meeting. Freeze Hits Oregon Points By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Temperatures dipped below freezing in most of Oregon early Thursday, and some growers ex pressed fear the cold snap might hurt early-blooming fruit trees. The only immediate report of damage came from Lane County, where horticultural agent Lyman Tinker said some peach, plum and pear orchards were nit severely by the freeze. Tinker said that in some areas the frezee had wiped out the crop. He added, however, Uiat there was nn Immediate comprehensive re port of damage. Mild February weather forced many trees and plants to maturity earlier than usual and left them open to frost damage, he said, The low Thursday morning in Eugene was 27 degrees. In the Medford area, another prime fruit producing area, the temperature dropped to 30 degrees early Thursday. The lowest temperature report ed early Thursday was 16 degrees at Redmond. Terrmeratures in the high 20s were reported at most Willamette Valley points. A new storm front Is expected to move wo the state early rrl day. bringing rain showers to the western part of the state and scat tered snow to Eastern Oregon. The Friday morning lows will range from 28-36 m Western Ore gon, and from 15-28 in the re mainder of the state, the bureau Thornton Files For Congress SALEM OP Attv. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton announced Thursday he will run for the Democratic nomination for Congress - in the First District. Thornton seeks the post held by Rep. Walter Norblad, Stayton. the only Republican in Oregon's six member congressional delegation. In the primary, he will oppose Don Matheny, Brooks farmer who is making his second try. Norblad is opposed by former state Sen. Philip S. Hitchcock, Oswego. Tliornton said he would "work for legislation aimed at easlne un employment and counteracting the current slump In lumber prices, farm incomes and business in gen eral In Oregon." Thornton, formerly a Tillamook lawyer, served in the 1951 state House of Representatives. He has been attorney general since 1953. He is the first Democratic attor ney general in the state's history. He was an Army intelligence officer in World War II. He now is a reserve lieutenant colonel. He was born in Portland 48 years ago, was graduated from Stanford University, and studied law at the University of Oregon and George Washington University. American Envoy Promises No Intervention In Hassle JAKARTA OP U.S. Ambassa dor Howard P. Jones declared Thursday his government "h a s no intention whatsoever of inter vention in the internal affairs of Indonesia." The American diplomat arrived with a personal message from President Eisenhower for Presi dent Sukarno. Jones Is taking up the post recently vacated by John M. Allison. The Indonesian government re cently advised the United States not to meddle in Indonesian af fairs. This came after press state ments by Secretary of State Dulles which appeared critical of Sukar no's regime. A statement by Vice Adm. Wal lace Beaklcy, 7th Fleet command er, that he would like to see a stable government in Indonesia added fuel to the fire. Jones, former head of the Amer ican Aid Mission in Jakarta and a friend of many Indonesians In high office, was counted on to Menshikov himself had told re porters he brought in a reply to Eisenhower s Feb. 15 letter to Bul ganin, which the Soviets have not published for their own people. ine Eisenhower letter suggest ed that leading Soviet citizeni come to the United States and see firsthand what this country is like. Menshikov said in an interview few days ago that he thought the more high level visits there were the better. His words indi cated possible Bulganin accept ance of Eisenhower's proposal. Meanwhile, it was learned the United States has notified Russia that the Western powers intend to ask for a meeting of the United Nations disarmament commission this month. . , N. Korean Reds Down USAF Plane OSAN, Korea OP Communist batteries shot down an American Sabrejet near the Korean truce line Thursday and the pilot re portedly parachuted "just over the Communist side of the line. Meanwhile the North Koreans re leased two American pilots and 24 other from a south Korean air liner hijacked 18 days ago. The first brief Air ' Force an nouncement on the jet fighter did not say whether the pilot who bailed out was seen to hit the ground safely. . A second F85 accompanying the downed Sabre returned to its base. The pilot reported he "saw the lead aircraft get hit and crash, and then momentarily saw a para chute with the (first) pilot float ing toward the ground just over the Communist side of the line." The two Sabres were on a low- level simulated ground support mission about 65 miles northeast of Seoul.- Under standing orders they are forbidden to fly over the 2tt-mlle-wide demilitarized zone that stretches across the peninsu la separating North from South Korea. The Air Force announcement did not make clear whether the-' pilot came down over the Com munist half of the zone or in North Korea. The Air Force withheld' the names of both pilots and began an investigation together with the U.N. Command. , - ; . Planes from the crashed Sabre s base at Osan, where Americans first battled the Communists In the Korean -War, searched the southern fringes of the zone from aloft Thursday but failed to ipot the lost flier. : An Air Force official said it was doubtful the search, would contin ue Friday .because "it's just too close to the line." The 28 returnees, who also in cluded a West German business man, his wife and 22 South Ko reans, were turned over at t h e Panmunjom truce - headquarters after Allied representatives gave the Communists receipts for them. The release was delayed several hours by a South Korean refusal to sign the release receipts. The South Korean said he felt the phrase that the release was "au thorized by the People's Republic of Korea," North Korea's official name, constituted a recognition, of the Red regime. Representatives of the U.S. Em bassy and the West German lega tion signed for their nationals without any objection. The 26 were taken by , bva , to the U.N. base camp in the neu tral zone for a medical checkup.

"We place high value on con tinuing good relations between our two countries," Jones said. In Hong Kong, a roving spokes man for the rebels said they are seeking bomber planes with which to retaliate for Indonesian a i r force bombing of rebel centers in Sumatra and North Celebes. "We've got plenty of other arms but need planes," Des Alwt said, hinting these might come from Japan. He said the rebels partic ularly want some B25s.
