City Council Absorbed With Routine Problems Routine matters absorbed tin attention of the city council at its regular Monday night meeting in ci'y hall. .Mayor Lawrenee Slater extend ed compliments to the members of the Council-Manager plan for an excellent job of explaining the proposal to the people, resulting in their overwhelming acceptance He indicated that the council would begin accepting applications for the post of city manager, but that it might be several months before someone was selected for the task. The mayor also complimented Venezuelan Crisis Eases CARACAS. Venezuela ifi Ven ezuela's political crisis appeared easing today as the ruling junta was restored to full strength. The regime renewed its pledge to hold free elections. New friction arose, however, as Venezuela's major political par ties complained that they had been given no part in revamping the junta. They demanded that the junta be enlarged to include representatives of the political factions. The Communists bugled warn ings that a military coup might develop. Adm. Wolfgang Larrazabal. jun ta chief, swore in two new civilian members last night to bring the five-man ruling group back to strength. Finance Minister Arturo Sosa and Junta Secretary Edgar Sanabria were named to replace civilians Eugenio Mendoza and Bias Lamberti. Hector Sanlaella, Venezuelan ambassador to Wash ington, was nameq junta secre tory. Larrazabal also promised to lead the nation to a democracy based on the will of the people, and said an election law will be promulgated May 23. Rumors circulated that several military men had been arrested to avert any move against the junta which took power alter the January revolt toppled dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez. The unexpected resignations of Mendoza and Lamberti Sunday had left the junta manned by three military men only and touched off the crisis. The reason for the sudden res ignations was not clear. Mendoza said economic differences had been developing for some time. For one thing, he favored revision of certain clauses in a trade treaty with the United States that would permit greater development of some agricultural products in Venezuela. Spud Brings Woe To Paris Bv EDDY GILMORF. PARIS t The lowlv potato was the root of big trouble in Paris Tuesday. To some Parisians it loomed more important than the political crisis. "The situation is terrible," said Madame Grandjean. "It could mean revolution. Mme. Grandjean cleans offices for a living and cooks potatoes for her family when she can find the spuds. "My niece has her confirmation on Thursday." she wailed. "11 can I possibly entertain relatives and friends when I can find no potatoes in Paris?" The headline in the left wine newspaper Liberation was pitched in the same shrill note of protest "Potatoes and The Defense of Lib erty, it said. The grave potato crisis was brought about by two factors, one political, the other economic. For obvious reasons few, if any. new potatoes are arriving from slnfe-lorn North African farms. For less obvious but .just as real reasons the French farmer at home is boycotting the Paris market. Early this spring the govern ment slapped a price ceiling of about 10 cents a pound on pnta toes, a staple of Ihe French diet Demanding at least 22 cents a pound for his pommcs de terre. Ihe farmer is refusing lo haul his new crop to the markets of Paris "II s awful." said Mme. Grand lean. "AI the only places where potatoes are being sold this Torn inc. there are long lines of house- wivrs. 'With no potatoes what is going to happen to t ranee? Misses Moth, Maces Mate SOUTH AM BOY. X J. if - Mrs Roman Fernecz tried to bag a moth with a hammer.

The woman ex plained that she had tried to swat the moth but had connected in stead with her husband's linger. rernecz was reied and treat ed lor Ihe bruised finger at a hos pital Ihe moth is still at large. NOCTURNAL CHATTING Three girls, age 14 to 16. spent Friday m;ht in the city jail as the result of nocturnal chatting with some of their tt lends con (Hied to the juvenile home. Mrs Georgia Johnson. superintendent of the home, called police when she heard the girls giggling a they were talking with flien.l I'mough a window. The three sir',. were released with a warninj on Saturday morning. HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON airport manager Harold Jones and his many assistants for the very successful air show the city en loved over the past weekend. In other business, Fred Robin son, 1160 Crescent Avenue, ap peared before the council and exhibited a picture album which had been prepared by the Fence The Canal Committee of which he is chairman. The exhibit shows a number of pictures of the A Canal at various stages of use during the year. Robinson indicated that the al bum would he included with an earlier brochure which contained facsimiles of Herald and News editions in which the drownings in the A Canal were listed. Both of these items were to be sent to Congressman Al Ullman for his use in an attempt to get the Con gress to appropriate $5,000 to de fray the cost of a survey of the canal lo determine the cost of lencing or covering. The council pledged its con tinned cooperation to the project. Permission was granted to the American Legion Auxiliary to sell veteran mane poppies on the down town streets of Klamath Falls on Friday and Saturday, May 23 and 24. A request to pave North Eighth Street from Ml. Whitney to Up ham was received in a petition signed by 12 property owners of the area. The city engineer was instructed lo prepare preliminary estimates on the cost of the project. Approval was also granted to waive the 36 foot street require ment on two projects, the Hawthorne-Van Ness and the Manza nita Street paving. In both cases, the streets are deadend streets, and it was the council's opinion that 28 foot streets would be suf ficient for the traffic. Councilman Walter Fleet, chair man of the police commission, was granted permission to advertise for bids for police uniforms. His committee was also authorized to proceed with the hiring of three women as meter maids to pa trol the city's parking meters. Fleet indicated it m i g h t he August before the "meter maid" plan would be activated. Residents of six areas will un doubtedly have to go without fire hydrants for some time, it was indicated by the council following receipt of a letter from the Ore gon Water Corporation which slated it would cost approximately $14,000 to install the six hydrants. They would have been located at Ihe following corners: Hanks and Scott, Hanks and Bly. Hanks and Front, Addison and Modoc, Divi sion and J streets, and in the vi cinity of 2621 Front Street. The council felt the estimates were prohibitive in nature, and in structed the city attorney, Henry Perkins, to examine the franchise with the company and determine the extent of responsibility that resls with the company for such projects as hydrants. Councilman Oliver Spiker re oorted to the council that he had been conducting an investigation recently to determine the source of a particularly offensive odor which has invaded the downtown area of the city in recent davs. He indicated that it may be emanating from the Modoc Lum ber Company where they were probably dipping pine in chemicals before stacking it. In departmental reports, build ing inspector Vern Schortgen re ported that the total of building permits issued in the month of April amounted to $353,750. Fire Chief Roy Rowe reported ?0 fire alarms were turned in dur ing April, none false. Property loss totaled $2,908.01 of which 2,759.01 was covered by insur ance. No deaths or injuries were reported during April. And it's exciting to know that this Chrysler averaged 21.02 miles per gallon to top all other cars in this year's Mobilgas Economy Run!

However, the increase in the Citv's bllHtrel hat boon (Tlnca IUnn offset by a substantial increase in revenues expected by the city during the coming year. Among the increased revenues will be an additional $11,000 to be received from franchise taxes. Other expected increases include: Dog licenses $1,500: special per mits $500, aloholic beverage rev enues ss.uuu ana sewer and street openings $125.

And what a satisfying feeling it is to know salary schedule closer to that paid for policemen in cities of com parable size elsewhere in Oregon. It also provides for the selection of two lieutenants, one for oper ations and one for services as recommended in the report. Other increases were necessary in the budgeted amounts for automobiles, auto maintenance and repair, and gas and oil costs since the police cars are now operating on an around the clock basis. The increase in the fire depart ment reflected in a blanket raise for every member of the depart ment of approximately $25 per month. The department also was taken off the uniform allowance basis and placed on a uniform furnished status. The general administrative budget carried an item of $5,000 as a contingency for a city man ager in the event the electors decided to make the switch. This will be added to an emergency fund of $7,500 which would make a total of $12,500 available to cov er emergencies during the coming fiscal year, and also to provide money for the salary of a city manager. Final ligures show that the total amount to be levied in property taxes for 1958-59 will amount to S458.762 as against a total of $459, 965 levied last year. This will result in an approxi mate decrease in property taxes of $1,202. The city budget committee con sists of the mayor, five council men and a civilian group of six others. In addition to the mayor and councilmen, serving on the budg et board were Ed Bell, who chair manned the committee; Robert Thompson, former mayor; Adolph zamsky, Oscar bhive, Les Offield and Kasper Moty. Date for a public hearing on the budget will be set by the council in the near future. Cat Like Elvis, 'All Shook Up1 It just goes to show that black cats "ain't got no" gratefulness. Monday afternoon State Patrol men Larry Bergman and Ronald Johnson were flagged down on Altamont Drive by a motorist who appeared to be in real trouble. The man, Keith Wyman of 2210 Home dale Road, explained to the officers that a black cat was caught in his fan belt and yiat he would need some help to remove it. Bergman and Johnson assumed their veterinarian complexes, freed the "shook up" cat from the grip of the fan belt, and began con gratulating themselves on a job well done. The cat obviously had a little different thinking on the matter. He bit Bergman on the finger. made a claw pass at Johnson and Wyman, and ran off apparently uninjured.
