FRIDAY, MAY 30. 1958 HERALD AXD NEWS KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PACE 7 A Lawyer Says Crane Erred HOLLYWOOD (UPD- Restau rateur Steven Crane, ex-husband of film star Lana Turner,, has been accused of giving false in formation 'o a coroner's jury at the time it was investigating the fatal stabbing of Johnny Stom panato. An affidavit filed by Attorney William J. Pollack Thursday claimed that Crane was in error as to what time he was called to the actress' home after their 14-year-old daughter, Cheryl Crane, stabbed Stompanato hast April 14. The document is in opposition to a motion by Crane to dismiss himself as a defendant in a $750, 000 suit brought as a result of the death of the underworld lothario. Cheryl and Miss Turner also were named in the action. Pollack recalled that Dr. John 6. McDonald testified at the cor oner's inquest that he was called to the Turner residence in nearby Beverly Hills at "approximately 9:50 p.m." Crane said he was called by his daughter at "around 9 o'clock." mLr i t i " "f A Leaf Is Many Things LONG BEACH. Calif. (AP)-A leaf can be many things. . . . To Eve. it was a- new dress the world's first. To Percy J. Powell it was a needle, aimed at the seat of the city government. Powell sent the City Council a letter to the effect that since the city owns the trees planted down the sides of the streets, It must also own the leaves from the trees. And he was tired of raking them. He added a suggestion that "one of your honorable body might need to rid himself of a few un necessary pounds" and would like to rake some leaves himself. That did it. The fat was on the fire. Councilman Gerald Desmond protested that he and his col leagues were already underpaid and had no intention of adding manual labor to their duties. Councilman . Pat Ahcrn com plained "We've been having trou ble with leaves ever since the first fig leaf." Councilman Charles Garrison reached way back into English hunting law to point out that own ership lies where the stag falls not where it was shot. At last report no action had been taken and the leaf had com pleted another metamorphosis:, from leaf, to dress, to needle- to hot potato.

AP Oil company otticials say leaerai price fixing consmrary indict ments against their tirms are 'preposterous . . . ridiculous v . wholly unwarranted." Denials came from most of the 29 oil lirms indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury on a charge of conspiring to' fix prices ot crude oil and auto gasoline in a 13-slate area The one-count in dictment, which named companies but no individuals, capped an in instigation that began in March 1947. A number of firms declined comment. Many of the nation s biggest oil companies were among the w charged, with violating section i of the Sherman antitrust law. Conviction could bring a maxi mum penalty of a $50,000 fine. Crude oil prices were boosted generally by 35 cents a barrel in January 1H57. Later, the retail price of gasoline' was increased generally by 1 cent a gallon. Several months earlier, Egyp tian seizure of the Suez Canal had caused an oil shortage in Western Europe. And shortly before the domestic price increases, then fttty. Gen. Herbert Brownell au thorized American oil lirms to take cooperative action In supply ing needed oil to Europe. However, Asst. Atty. Oen. ic- n( pnilijps Petroleum Co., said he tor R. Hansen, head or the J"s-'felt the indictment was wholly un tice Department's Antitrust Dm-, t Adams said he is con- sion, told a House committee this ,., ,, it .vin u. sho.vn the cnnrae exchange information to make agreements on prices. The indictment charged that. beginning in liloli end continuing through January r.157, the defend ant lirms encased in an unlaw ful combination and conspiracy to raise, fix, and stabilize prices of crude oil ' throughout the affected market The affected market was des cribed as all of Ihe United Stales except California. Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and Arizona. The indictment said the compa nies' alleged action led to in creased crude oil and gasoline prices throughout the affected market, suppression of competi tion among the defendant firms, and restraint of interstate trade. Robert G. Dunlop, president of Sun Oil Co., said he had not seen the indictment, but that "from what 1 have been told, this seems to me a preposterous shotgun in dictment." Dunlop said his firm will fight this unlair ana truthful charge . . . with every means at our disposal. L. E. McColh, president o Continental Oil Co.. called the in dictment "ridiculous and illogi cal." He said Continental Oil is ready to prove in court "our com plete innocence ol these charges. K. S.

(AP) a' voluntary pay cu voted by pro duction workers has resulted in cancellation of plans for indefinite shutdown of the American Zinc Co. plant at nearby Monsanto. The plant's 350 workers had re ceived layolf notices, company of ficials said, because of lower de mand for' high-grade zinc used mainly for parts casting in the hard-hit auto manufacturing in dustry. The production workers, mem bers of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union, last night voted to accept a cut of 10 cents an hour in their production bonus. The bonus has averaged 28 cents an hour. The company said the action will effect payroll savings of about $5,000 a munth. This will permit the plant to switch to production of lower grade zinc, which still is in demand. SISKIYOtI COUNTY BIRTH 8 SILVA Born to Mr. and Mrs. Lcroy J. Sllva. Mount Shasta.

Knowland believes the Alaska Statehood Bill has an even chance of passing in the Senate. Knowland. Republican candidate for governor, arrived Thursday to wind up his campaign and to vote next Tuesday "I'm for statehood for both Ha waii and Alaska and we hope to get assurances from the Demo cratic leadership that they will bring up the Hawaii bill also." he said. The house approved the Alaska bill on Wednesday. He said there may be a move "to tie the Hawaii bill onto the Alaskan measure." "It would be better to have sep arate bills because of the threal of a Democratic filibuster against Hawaii," he said. The Soviet SAC is known as the Dal'naia Aviatsiia or DA. The Flying Review said DA Is weak in long-range heavy bomb ers and aerial refueling tankers but every .effort is being mode to overcome these shortcomings. Next year may see parity reached with the Strategic Air Command," the article said. DA "is one of the Kremlin's top priority weapons despite Nikita Khrushchev s widely publicized boast that Russian ballistic mis sile progress has rendered the manned bomber obsolete," the Review asserted. "Paralleling the Soviet Union's immense missile program are sev eral manned bomber programs and there is much evidence to in dicate the Kremlin planners have no intention of placing all their nuclear eggs in the ICBM basket for at least a decade ahead. The magazine, which is pub lished with the cooperation of Britain's '.ir Ministry, claimed DA attack techniques now are be lieved to have attained a high standard closely comparable with those of aAC. The Flying Review said DA's strength' is reliably estiniated at some 1,500 medium and heavy bombers. It predicted a gradual increase in numerical strength, It said there are between 30 and 40 DA basesi mostly in central Europe anJ so widely dispersed as to make simultaneous attack by SAC impossible. "Any offensive action by DA forces is likely to comprise simul taneous sotics against U. S. Stra tegic Air Command bases and in dustrial targets in North America, the strikes being sufficiently nu merous to saturate the enemy ra dar chain and split the opposing interceptor forcer," the Flying Review said. my Harpolc.

"Additional steps are now be ing taken to insure that this capa bility will continue to match the enemy threat that is, quicker re action, dispersal and toughening." He said SAC was planning to build "protective facilities to in crease survivability." and indi cated these will be launching sites that are Tjuried or submerged or out of reach of enemy. He added that the missile force will be "sufficiently large .and adequately equipped so that when measured against Soviet surprise attack, its retaliation will insure sufficient destruction of the Soviet bloc to preclude his decision, to launch."
