WASHINGTON UPI The Justice Department said today it had asked for additional informa tion on the consolidation of United Press and International News Service into United Press International. The request, the department said, was made to top officials of the two news organizations who conferred Monday afternoon and Monday night with antitrust chief Victor R. Hansen and his top aides. It was indicated that the depart ment may state its position on the consolidation within the next few days. Officials emphasized that no conclusions have been reached at this time. Sen. Estes Kefauvor (D-Tcnn.) told the Senate today he had urged the Justice Department to "seri ously consider" seeking a prelim inary injunction against the con solidation, which was announced last Saturday. He said the seriousness of this merger cannot be overestimated." Prior to this merger, there were three news services in the United States." he said. "The As sociated Press is a cooperative newsgathering organization limited exclusively to its own membership which offers none of its services to sale to anyone other than members. "Heretofore. U.P. and I.N.S competitively offered their serv ices to smaller newspapers and radio stations all over the coun try. In effect, these small news papers and radio stations have had the benefit of competitive rates to choose from. Unless voted into membership by A.P., these small radio stations and newspapers now face an absolute monopolist in se curing news services. Kefauver also said that "an im mediate disaster has apparently fallen on some 400 I.N.S. employes who, I understand, have already received notice of severance. He cited a news dispatch that said the Justice Department was considering seeking a preliminary injunction. He said he had com mended Assistant Attorney Gener al Hansen, chief of the Antitrust Division, for promptness "as well as the report that he is seriously considering the application for a temporary injunction." "However. . .1 am afraid that this action by the Department of Justice is even now too late." he told the Senate. "I say this be cause there is presented in this merger a perfect example of the scrambling of assets which, even though litigation proves successful may for all practical purposes prove impossible to unscramble. Kefauver said he thought the Potluck Held By Sorority Kappa Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, meeting May 23 for the last regular meeting until fall, enioved the annual potluck supper at the liiimo ol Mrs. lsahelle Brixner Lakeshoro Drive followed by ap pointment of committees for the coming year, and a program.

Had there been such a require ment in the law." he said. "U.P. and I.N.S. could not have con summated this merger without giving notice to -the Federal Trade Commission and the Department or justice. 'Had this been done, quite ob viously, either one of these agen cies could have been afforded the opportunity of studying the pro posal and if it were believed that Section 7 of the Clayton Act would be violated, a preliminary injunc tion might have been applied for in the federal district courts. 'In this manner irreparable harm could have been avoided by precluding the scrambling of the assets and cessation of certain op erations, as well as the discharge of valuable employes." Kefauver said he would "certain ly support the questioning of this merger. There is presented here a sim ple question of arithmetic," he said. "Prior to the merger there were two news services offering service generally to the small newspapers and radio stations throughout the United States. To day, there is only one. This is not a tendency toward monopoly; This is monopoly. Air Route Said Needed Klamath Falls Airport Manager Harold Jones said Tuesday he will strongly encourage nearby cities to support Klamath Falls, stand that air service between here and Reno is essential. Whether or not the CAB will allow West Coast Airlines to oper ate between here and Reno is still to be decided. Oral hearings arc tentatively slated late next month or early July in Washington, D.C. Also to be decided are additional proposed runs to Salem and Boise Jones said he has received a time extension from the CAB to allow neighboring cities to slate their position in letters to the agency. He will try to get letters fav oring Ihe Reno flights from Mer rill, Lynn, Tulelakc, Malm. Dor- ris. Grants Pass. Mcdlord and Ashland. Also sought, said R. Frank Tuck er, chamber of commerce man ager arc letters from busi nessmen on Iheir own letterhead stationery. A personal representative from Klamath Falls will be sent to Washington.

Pictured above are Mr. and Mrs. Monk, and. their children Susan, Betty Sue, Mary Ann, and Robert. With them is' Sheriff . Britton, holding map. By JIM PHILLIPS The rain was cascading down in near solid walls when a des titute family of six came up to the door of the county jail last Friday night and knocked. Inside, Sheriff Murray (Red) Britton wondered who in the world would have such urgent business as to be out in the peak of the storm. Opening the door, he saw first a young man and woman, both drenched. The woman held an in fant in her arms, trying her best to shield it from the rain. In front of them were three tots, all looking up expectantly, their hair plastered flat to their heads with water. "We need a place to stay to night very badly," Joseph .D. Monk, 32, told the sheriff. Britton got the family Inside, made them as comfortable as he could, and heard this story: Mr. and Mrs. Monk she's 29 and their four children, Robert, 8, Mary Ann, 6, Betty Sue, S, and Susan. 11 months, left their home in Sioux City, Iowa, this month bound for Grants Pass. ' At Boulder, Colorado, the Monk auto broke down and there was no money to fix it. There was no alternative but to try to hitchhike on to Grants Pass, where Monk expects to find work.

Monk, a veteran, contacted the VFW Club, waa told to see Sher iff Britton at the jail. He saw the right man. ' "What do we have to eat around here for these folks?" Britton asked the jail chef. Well, there just happened to be some good-tasting stew left from the evening meal and the Monk family sat down apd had a hearty supper. Meanwhile, Britton arranged for the Monk children to watch one of the jail's controversial TV sets as they ate. "I never saw any kids enjoy television more than they did," Britton said. After dinner, the sheriff escort ed the Monk family to the new third floor quarters of the jail and into a 16-bunk cell. Clean mattress covers and blankets were brought out and the Monks were quickly into a deep slumber. Next morning, after a substan tial breakfast in the jail, the Monks were put in touch with Major H. Anderson of the local Salvation Army. The major arranged for bus tickets for them all to Grants Pass. He also dug up $5 cash. In thanking Sheriff Britton and Major Anderson, the Monks said they hardly expected to ever find such kindness at such a sorely needed time.
