COUP 0 0? 0RSS0JI LIBRARY In The- Day's lews By FFANK JENKINS At i news conference In New York the other day Albert Cole, U.S. housing administrator, told the reporters there is highly encouraging evidence that a MA JOR upturn in home building is under way. He said the home building fig ures for May are a new all-time high for applications and he re affirmed his belief that there will be close to 1,100,000 new housing starts this year. That's for the country as a vhole. According to the statistical de partment of Equitable Savings and Loan Association, The Pacific Northwest is doing all right in the way of home building. The report says that in May the dollar value of all dwelling permits issued by the area's 64 largest cities was up 17 per cent from the total for May of last year. It adds that May was the fifth consecutive month during vhich the dwelling permit total climbed above the 1957 levels. In compari son with last year, the residen tial dollar volume was up 11 per cent in January, 21 per cent in February, 14 per cent in March and 14 per cent in April. That is to say: The Pacific Northwest, whose chief industry is the manufacture of building materials, HAS CON FIDENCE IN THE FUTURE OF ITS OWN LEADING INDUSTRY and is investing heavily in new Homes. That brings up a rather inter esting point. Home building was one of the first industries to begin to slack off. As a result, the Pacific North west (along with Far Northern California) was about the first area in the nation to feel the be ginning of the recession. The present upswing in home building gives us good reason to believe that this area, which be cause of shrinking markets for building materials particularly the materials, entering into home building led the nation into the recession, will lead the nation OUT of the recession. That brings up an interesting tuDiect. The belief is rather general that lumber (along with all building materials made from trees) rose more startlingly in price than oth er materials entering into con (fraction. According to the Nation al Lumber Manufacturers Asso ciation, that isn't true. During the last decade, a report recently issued by the lumber as sociation lays, steel on the whole sale level jumped 5 Mi times as much as lumber, clay products nearly three times as much and cement 2'i times as much. In the decade ending with 1957, wholesale lumber cost increase was 23.2 per cent. For structural steel, it was 127.8 per cent. Small Change In Weather By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The nation's weather pattern of the past several days showed only minor changes today, with more showers and possible storms in many areas. Tornadic winds and severe thun derstorms struck sections of Kan sas and Oklahoma during the night but no casualties were re ported. Tornadic winds hammered the Arkansas City area, south of Wichita. Kan., near the Okla noma border, and also In the Salina, Kan., area. The thunderstorms rumbled across sections from southern Wyoming and Colorado through Kansas. Oklahoma and into Mis souri. Heaviest rains were report ed in eastern parts of Kansas and Oklahoma, ranging from 1 to 2 inches. Hail and strong winds were reported in many areas. Flood warnings were posted in some parts of east central Kansas. Tempers Flare At House Probe Of Securities Group WASHINGTON (AP) Tempers flared at a House hearing Wednes day when former Securities and Exchange commission chairman J. Sinclair Armstrong called it outrageous for anyone to suggest the SEC could be influenced. Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark), chair man of the House subcommittee checking regulatory agencies, dis missed Armstrong from the wit ness table with a loud bang of the gavel. Armstrong, now an assistant secretary of the Navy, declared "I've been outraged" at allegations that SEC people "could possibly be influenced by anybody." Harris said he wanted to hear the rest of Armstrong's statement but had to go to another commit tee heating. Armstrong was called back to the stand an hour later, but Harris didn't show up until the end of the morning-long hear ing. In the meantime, the congress men got a bit more information about a White House contact with the SEC prompted by Sherman Adams in a case involving Boston industrialist Bernard Goldfine. Adams, President Eisenhower's top aide, has acknowledged ac eeptlng expensive favors from Goldfine but denied seeking pref erential treatment of his friend hv federal agencies. Adams has acknowledged too that he had Gerald D. Morgan, Swedish Ship Rams Tanker In NY Harbor NEW YORK (AP)-A Swedish freighter rammed an oil tanker in the East River today, flinging sheets of blazing gasoline into the air and setting fire to Manhattan Bridge far above. The tanker sank. At least four of its crewmen were missing. Sailors plunged into the water and swam past flaming oil slicks. screaming for help to horror- stricken watchers on shore. Crew men on rescue boats, swarming from all over New York Harbor, dragged most of them to safety, The crash filled -the teeming East River with gasoline from the sunken tanker. An urgent warning was issued against smoking in the area. Amog the places in danger was the Brooklyn Navy Yard. A photographer for the New York Journal-American, William Finn, 52, collapsed and died of a heart attack while covering the disaster. Incomplete reports said 39 per sons were hospitalized with injur ies. Many others escaped injury, leaping onto a fireboat that dar ingly maneuvered alongside the flaming wreckage. Individual acts of heroism ac counted for other rescues. The collision occurred about 12:25 a.m. at about midstream Manhattan Bridge, more than 130 feet above, connects lower Man hattan with Brooklyn. It carries subway lines as well as an auto roadway. ' "I heard a muffled explosion' said James Watson, 41, who works nearby. "I saw a mass of flames that looked about half a mile high and 100 yards wide. "I could hear men in the water, being swept upstream, yelling for help. The flames were also blown north with the wind and tide and appeared lo stretch about half a mile along the river. "I could see the superstruc ture of the freighter on fire and the side of the freighter blistered The men aboard were yelling Help, help. The tanker, the 531-ton Empress Bay. owned by the petroleum Tanker Corp., sank after breaking away from the freighter. For a time, the two ships were locked together in a flaming grip, the prow of the freighter cutting into the hull of the tanker to form a "T." The other ship, the Nebraska, was burned and battered but able to make port under her own pow er. A 5.200-tonner, she is owned by the Swedish transatlantic line, Expert Sees Pay Boosts ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) One of the nation's top Social Security experts today predicted Congress will raise Social Security pay ments for 11 million people by 10 per cent this year. Dr. Wilbur J. Cohen, frequent consultant to congressmen on So cial Security legislation and a University of Michigan professor, made the prediction in an inter view. Cohen returned here from Wash ington a few days ago where he attended the hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee which is considering Social Securi ty changes. Secretary of Welfare Eolsom last week told the committee at its opening meeting the Eisenhow er administration opposed major changes in Social Security this year. But he hinted the adminis tration wouldn't object to a cost of living increase in payments, if Congress saw fit to make one. Cohen also predicted Congress would raise the amount of wages on which employes, employers and self-employed persons must pay tax from $4,200 to $4,800 a year and would make dependents of disabled Social Security recipients eligible for payments.

They sold the weapon for $28, special counsel to the President talk with SEC general counsel ihomas G. Meeker on Feb. 18, 1956, about an SEC court action against Goldfine's East Boston Co for not filing required financial reports. Adams said he asked no action and didn t pass any in or mation to Goldfine. Subcommittee investigator Jo seph T. Conlon testified he inter viewed Meeker and that Meeker was hazy about statements made at the White House confer ence with Morgan. "Mr. Meeker took with him hi brief case but he did not recall what documents or memoranda were taken," Conlon reported. The SEC has a rule against dis closure of confidential informal!) outside the agency. After Harris sent Armstrong from the witness chair, it was taken over by Baldwin Bane, for mer head of SEC's corporate fi nance division.

A line of cars eight miles long at times backed up as United Auto Workers Union . members paraded before the plant, which produces Army Jupiter and Red stone missiles. A bottle was tossed into one car and some motorists entering the plant were poked by pickets reach ing through car windows. Macomb County Sheriff Harlev Ensign had 40 men on duty and called for additional help in un snarling the traffic pileup. Some 20 officers from nearby commu nities responded.

Young KF Lad, 2, Takes Early A.M. Ride On Truck The world outside a garden gate has lots of possibilities for thrill ing a not-quite-2-year-old. There are wide streets without too much traffic in the early morning, dew on the grass to dampen the soles of a yellow sleeper and garbage trucks to ride in. Tuesday morning, early, almost before the sun was up, young Paul Brown who lives with his mother Mrs. Patty N. Brown and an older brother, John, at 931 Washington doffed his crib blankets to take a stroll. It was not yet getting-up time for other members of his family. The deep, dark mystery is how he unfastened the door and the latch on the gate. Perhaps there was a pixie in the corner. Drivers of a Klamath Disposal garbage truck, Bert Coker and Russell Burke, found the toddler expiring the empty street and took him aboard, his blonde hair was tousiad from his night's nap, but what does hair out of place mean to a blue-eyed boy. He rode in content until the truckers rearhJ. the Eleventh Street Gro cery where they knocked upon the door, and there, the young adven turer lound a friend. Mrs. Violet Jophn o knew him. Young Paul protested when his new found frlend went on to other business, greeted his startled moth sir with nonchalance after she had been awakened by the telephone bell and dashed to the store to claim her ion. j KLAMATH FALI.S, OREGON, Meeting Of Oregon Fire Chiefs Terminates Today This is the last day of the An nual Joint Conference of the Ore gon Fire Chiefs Association, the Oregon Rural Fire Protection Dis tricts Association and the Oregon Volunteer Firemens Association.

(AP) An Army Redstone ballistic mis sile has completed another appar ently highly successful trip through space. The huge Redstone, capable of striking a target more than 500 miles away with extreme accura cy, blasted away in a fiery show of power last night. The shoot brought the 63-foot Chrysler rocket a step closer to becoming the first ballistic mis sile lo be deployed in the field with combat troops. The Redstone may be activated with artillery units in a month or two. The Redstone also may be the first rocket to carry man into space and return him safely to earth. Dr. Herbert York, chief scien tist for the Advanced Research Projects Agency, announced re cently that proposals have been made to use the Redstone for a manned space flight. The trip probably would last about six minutes, York said. The plans still are in the bare prelim inary stages, however. The Redstone provides the Iirst- stage launching vehicle for Ex plorer satellites. FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Fair through Thurs day, l-ow Wednesday night 42- 50; high Thursday about 80.

About 150 Soviet policemen kept fhe crowd under control. One screaming Russian hurled a stone through an open window but there was no damage. U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson told reporters he planned no protest because "under our system of government we do not object lo peaceful assembly and demonstrations." The crowd included some youths in Red Army uniforms. The Rus sians converged on the building almost simultaneously from three directions in what clearly was a well-planned demonstration. The embassy had prepared for Russian retaliation against dem onstrations by Hungarian refugees last weekend at the Soviet U.N, offices in New York. Embassy windows were boarded, the first floor had been evacuated and Russian employes had been given the day off. Several men standing in two big trucks led the first group of dem onstrators that reached the em bassy, at Sadovoya Circle in down town Moscow. They shouted occa sional orders. Placards carried by the shouting demonstrators read "down with provocateurs and Yanks go home in English and Russian.

Lebanon (AP) Heavy firing broke out in Lebanon l?te Wednesday shortly after the! government announced it had asked for an armed U.N. emer gency force to seal off the fron tier. President Camille Chamoun said he expected a big rebel push against his pro-Western govern ment at any hour, but it was too soon to say whether this was it. The heaviest firing was heard in Ghandak Ghamik, on the out skirts of the Basta section of Bei rut where rebel forces under for mer Premier Saeb Salam are en trenched inside barricades. Shooting broke out in the post office area at about the same lime and firing erupted and bombs were exploded in Ashrafiah, the Christian quarter in the eastern part of the capital. Machine suns, mortar fire, dy- namite bombs and small arms AT&T Told To Cut Rates WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal' Communications Commis sion Wednesday ordered American Telephone & Telegraph Co. to cut its rales for private telephone line service by about 15 per cent. The order becomes effective in 60 days. The commission announcement said that on the basis of AT & T's 1955 traffic volume which was used in the FCC study the or dered adjustment would reduce Ihe company s revenues by $5,700, 000 a year. However, officials told newsmen that use of private lines has greatly expanded during the last three years so that the net rev enue reduction based on today's business would be substantially larger than the figure used in the commission notice. FCC said an analysis of AT&T's own figures showed it is earning "at least" 10.S per cent on its in vestment In private line telephone facilities and that the commis sion feels that this is excessive." The reduction is designed to bring the return rate down to 7. Der cent. Privately leased leiepnone cir cuits are widely used by govern ment agencies, stockbrokers, large industries, banks, and others in terested in maintaining continuous communication between distant points. - The order does not affect fhe telephone service used by the gen. oral public, or telegraph services maintained by AT&T, or wire cir cuits supplied to TV and radio stations for program transmission. State Bill Meets Snag WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate! opponents of statehood for Alaska came up' Wednesday with a let ter from an Alaska editor saying the territory can't afford state status. Sen. A. Willis Robertson (D-Va) named the editor as Emery F. Tobin of Ketchikan and read his letter into the record as the Sen ate approached the stage of pre liminary voting on the statehood bill.

McWilliams. 47-year-old catskinner who bludgeoned to death a rival for his csiranged wife's alfections, plead guilty to second degree murder today in circuit court. Judge David R. Vandenbcrg sentenced McWilliams to life in the state penitentiary for killing Charles Robinson, 32, alter a drinking party in the murderer's Pine Ridge home last Saturday afternoon. Arresting officers said McWil liams used fists, feet and finally a shotgun stock and barrel to viciously beat his victim about the head, causing death. A few moments before, the two men had been playing pok er with McWilliams' wife Pat ricia, 32. who had filed for divorce nssertedly to marry the younger man. She had moved out of Mc Williams' home and was living close to Robinson at the small community of Mowich. The pair drove to McWilliams place Sat urday and a poker and drinking narty ensued, authorities reported An argument apparently over Ihe woman, broke out between the men, followed by a light which proceeded out of the hjue and into the front yard, wtere Rob inson was found dead by arrest ing officers. McWilliams was first charged with Iirst degree murder. It was plater reduced to second. fire could be heard as the rebels and security forces exchanged fire. The fighting bioke a long day of unusual calm in Beirut. The rebels had called a truca during the visit here of U.N. Sec retary General Dag Hammar- skjold, here to try to bring peace o tne irounicd little Mideast na tion. The shooting broke out short ly after he left by plane for New YorK. Even as firing broke out rebel leader Salam told this reporter mat tne reoeis would resist any increase in U.N. forces in Leb anon. He said he spoke for all rebel leaders. Salam said that even if the num ber of U.N. personnel be as little as 500 and unarmed, the rebels would consider this as a change in U.N. policy. If the number of United No tions forces should be increased we will consider this an interna tional intervention and aggression, and we will resent it as we would esent any aggression." Salam said. Salam was' commenting on a statement by Premier Sami Slh that he had asked for a U.N. force to seal off completely Lebanon'i frontiers" with the Syrian prov ince of President Nasser's United Arab Republic. The request was handed to Hammarskjold shortly before his departure. The government also charged that its forces were shelled from Syrian soil. The observers now number ing less than 100 were assigned by the U.N. Security Council to look into Lebanese charges of U.A.R. aid for rebels who have been trying since May 10 to over throw Chamoun's pro-We stern government. Military experts esti mate it would take 5.000 men to seal the 150-mile mountainous frontier with Syria. Authoritative reports from Trip oli in the north, one of the areas where Chamoun said rebels are concentrated, said rebel forces there led by Rashid Karami had issued an ultimatum to govern ment troops demanding surrend er of the American Presbyterian Hospital. All Americans there were evacuated some time ago. one of tne most powerful lead ers of the rebels flatly barred U.N. observers from territory he controls. JIIUI Tf Willi. ' Recovering YREKA - Harry Meek, a well known insurance man in this area, was released from Siskiyou Coun ty General Hospital on Tuesday afternoon where he had received treatment for a flesh wound from a .22 caliber pistol slug. The (hot was fired, according to Yreka City Police, by a neighbor, James C. saber. Officers said Meek was shot in the hip while he was in the yard of a neighbor, George Solus, about 11:15 p.m. on Sunday. Meek told the officers he had just returned Solus' lawn sprinkler which he had used earlier in the day and was looking for his Siamese cat which had not returned home. Baber. an employe of the Yreka office of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company who had moved into the neighborhood in August of last year, told police he saw a man in the yard of the Solus residence and in the dark ness did not recognize him. Baber said he thought the man "was looking in the window" of the Solus home, so he got his gun and fired toward the figure he saw. Police Indicated today that they could discover no ill feeling among the neighbors and are inclined to ward the theory that Baber, who is at liberty under $1,000 bail, act ed to protect the Solus family from being molested by what he thought was a "prowler." The defendant originally was to have appeared in district court Friday to tell Judge D. E. Van Vactor if he desired a pre liminary hearing. This morning, however, he waived the preliminary hearing. forty live minutes later in cir cuit court he first waived the right to a court-appointed attor ney, then Ihe right to a grand .'iiry investigation ol his case. He told Judge Vandenberg he waived these rights "freely and voluntarily," and had not been threatened nor promised any re ward.

"Your honor, may I be sen tenced now?" the red-headed clean-cut defendant asked. Before granting Ihe request. Judge Vandenberg said he could give only one sentence anyway "not one day more or one day less than life in prison." The stocky McWilliams took the sentence without emotion and was escorted out of Ihe courtroom by Sherilf J. M. Britrbn and Deputy Alvie Ynunghlood. Prisoners sentenced to life are customarily eligible (or parole con sideration after seven year' time with good behavior. . O
