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."

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.

ALEXAXDHtA. Va. 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

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.

Red Bomber Group Gains
Strength, RAF Review Says
LONDON (AP) The Soviet
equivalent of the American Stra
tegic Air Command soon will be
capable of mounting a major of
fensive wi'b nuclear weapons of
all types, Britain's Royal Air
Force Flying Review said today.
The semiofficial magazine said
the Soviet bombing force still is
smaller than SAC "but is being
increased in strength and potency
and is likely to provide the back
bone of Russia's offensive power."
New Families
Arrive Here
Fifty-two new families arrived
in Klamath Falls to live last
month, the chamber of commerce
reports.
Composing them are 105 adults
and 82 children. Twenty-three of
the families came here from other
Oregon communities while the oth
ers came from such states as Cali
fornia, Washington, Missouri, etc.
Since the first of this year, 199
families have moved to Klamath
Falls to take up residence, the
chamber reports.
It notes, too, that business is
good in this city, judging by re
ported bank debits (checks drawn
against accounts.)
Last month the debits totaled
$24,009,121 versus $23,265,153 in
April, 1957, the chamber said. Re
porting banks are in the Klamath
Falls metropolitan area.
For the first four months this
year, a sharp rise in bank debits
was recorded with a jump from
$89,929,201 in the 1957 period to
$113,491,368 for the 1958 period.
First four months' postal receipts
jumped from 1957's $88,787 to $96,
365. Parking meter revenues re
mained about the same: $17,398
in the first four 1957 months com
pared to $17,861 in the 1958 pe
riod. Building permits within the city
limits took a sharp decrease in
valuation from $1,008,370 in the '57
four-month period to $531,689 in
the '58 period.

Workers Okay
Pay Slash
EAST ST. LOUIS, 111. (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.

Solon Says Odds
On Alaska Even
SA FRANCISCO (UPD Sen.
William F. 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.

balanced domestic supplies. This
imbalance, he said, exerted

FORT WORTH (API Strategic
Air Command is taking new steps
to Insure that Atlas intercontinen

instantly upon an attack warning,
without lone preliminary count
downs and delays that have
marked test launchings at Cape

This was reported to the Avia

"Additional steps are now be

enemy threat that is, quicker re
action, dispersal and toughening."
He said SAC was planning to
build "protective facilities to in

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

sufficient destruction of the Soviet
