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

The grave potato crisis was
brought about by two factors, one
political, the other economic.

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

about 10 cents a pound on pnta

Demanding at least 22 cents a

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

It also provides for the selection

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

basis and placed on a uniform
furnished status.

a total of $12,500 available to cov

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

'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.

would not speculate on whether he
would try for or get the nomina
tion.
At Salem, he said that Vice

self well on his recent riot-torn
tour of South America and, be
cause of this, Nixon stands -a
better chance of gaining the Re
publican presidential nomination.
At Portland, Kennedy discussed
foreign affairs. He said that the
greatest danger to this country is
the Russian economic offensive.-
And he said there were "disturb
ing signs that we, as a nation,
may be intellectually and emotion
ally unprepared for the long test
of endurance we surely face."
