Grange Blasts
Bad Condition
Of West Road
Mail Deadline To Hold Firm
Kdilnr'i N'nlr: The following is
a copy of a letter senf recently
to the Oregon Stale Highway De
partment by the Fort Klamath
Grange. f
Several weeks ago. Kort Klam
ath Grange sent you a, resolution
asking that in the interest of safe
ty the timber road between Crane I
Creek and Three Mile. West Side
Klamath Lake Highway be wid
ened. We had replies from the highway
department and the Forest Service i
saying preliminary examinations,
were being made, and all were in
accord that a danger potential ex
isted. The Forest Service person
nel were definitely in favor of pro
claiming an emergency sale of the
hazardous trees standing close to
the road bed.
Observing no action taken we
made inquiry and have been in
formed the highway department
now objects to going ahead with
the proposed widening. In all fair
ness to the traveling public, Fort
Klamath Grange strongly urges
you to reconsider. There have been
several accidents and numerous
near-accidents on the West Side
Highway since our former com
munication and the logging season
has only begun.
We have been told the objection
of the highway department is the
lack of funds to buy powder for the
removal of stumps. Classed as an
emergency sale, the proviso could
be included that the purchaser of
the timber would be responsible
for the removal of the stumps. In
this way there would be little or
no cost to the highway depart
ment. Let us not wait until there is a
fatal accident or extensive proper
ty loss before taking needed ac
tion. Cecil M. Brown, Secy.,

manager, sought a contempt of
court citation against his es
stranged wife, Virginia, also 33,
after she gave the girl a haircut.

the letter of the law, a spokesman
said, and this means letters

A DANGEROUS HIGHWAY SITUATION in Klamath County has been
pointed out fo authorities by the members and officers of the Fort Klamath
Grange regarding the Westside road. In a letter sent to the Oregon State
Highway Department and subsequently published as a letter to the
editor in the Herald and News (July 9) the grange points out that the
current conditions on the Westside Road present a menace to normal
travel; a menace, they point out, which will tend to increase as the
pressure of logging traffic increases. In order to clarify the situation
the Herald and News sent staff photographer Ott Ellis to the scene. The
above pictures point out a few of the danger spots along the scenic but
dusty route. As will be noticed in the upper left hand picture the road is
just barely wide enough for a truck and car to clear safely when meeting.
The truck pictured was pulled off the road as far as possible while the
driver repaired a flat tire. Normally the truck would not be this far out,
nor is this spot one of the narrower ones along the road. The upper right
hand picture presents an example of potential curve danger in which trees
closely border the road, preventing any successful turnout in case of a
wide-swinging car or truck. The lower left picture presents another dan
ger spot in the form of sharp curves occurring on the ridges, thus obviat
ing chances for a view of oncoming traffic. At certain times of the year
the dust in these areas is thick enough to almost completely obscure the
drivers' vision. The lower right hand picture shows a comparatively wide
spot in the road at one of the many culverts and points up the generally
narrow nature of the road. In the public interest a reprint of the grange
letter is carried with this picture story. See story at right.
Thor Missile
Bursts Apart
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
A Thor intermediate range bal
listic missile burst apart with a
violent roar high in the sky early
Saturday shortly after launching.
The missile streaked aloft at
1:40 a.m. but a minute and 10
spconds later it exploded into two
pieces with a brilliant flash of
orange flame.
The two sections plunged into
the ocean about five miles from
the launching site streaming trails
of flame and smoke.
The cause of the explosion was
, not known immediately.
It was the 17th Thor fired in a
stepped-up program aimed at de
veloping the missile for opera
tional capabilities by December.
The missile reportedly was
launched toward an impact area
1.5(10 miles out in the Atlantic.
The Air Force said in a brief
ennouncement that a malfunction
occurred 70 seconds after the
launching, causing the missile to
break up.
"The reason for the breakup
rannot be determined until data
has been evaluated," officials
said.
The breakup was witnessed by
12 congressmen here on a tour of
the missile test center.
The takeoff and initial vertical
climb appeared to be' normal be
fore the blast came.
One of the flaming sections
tumbled earthward soon after the
explosion. The second continued
on as a tiny dot in the sky for
. several seconds before il too lipped
toward the sea.
The previous three Thor flights
apparently were successful.
The last mishap occurred April
lfi when a Thor blew up shortly
after blasting from its launching
pad.
The missile, which is competing
with the Army Jupiter for IRBM
supremacy, is expected to be as
signed to Royal Air Force units in
England by December.
The Thor, developed by Douglas
Aircraft Co., will provide the ini
tial push for the Air Force's three
stage moon rocket which report
edly will he launched next month.
Meanwhile, the Air Force an
nounced it had called off its three
day search for a Thor-Able rocket
nose cone housing Wickie the
mouse.
The mouse was shot fi.OflO miles
through space and back to earth
inside the .advanced nose cone of
the mighty two-stage rocket
Wednesday.
The nose cone splashed into the
ocean near the coast of Africa

Reuther Says
Auto Dealers
Will Submit
DENVER (UPD-Uniled Auto
Workers president Walter Reuther
said here Friday the stalemate
between his union and the nation's
big three automohile manufactur
ers will be resolved in favor of
labor.
He hinted, however, that the
U.A.W.V may strike rather than
work without a contract much
longer.
He asserted:
"As soon as the corporations arc
willing to sit down in good faith
and meet their responsihililes at
the bargaining table, the United
Auto Workers will bargain fairly.
"But if management continues
its present attitude. I cannot sav
how long we will continue with
out a contract."
Reuther said management at
first said no to pensions, vaca
tions "everything, we ever asked
for." "And they always changed
their minds. They will change
meir minas again.
The conlroversial labor official
was in Denver for a meeting of
the executive committee of the
AFL-CIO's Industrial Union De
partment.
The committee denounced Col
orado's proposed Right-to - Work
law. the Smith Bill, the Eisen
hower Administration's attitude
toward recession, and the attitude
of the auto industry at the bar
gaining table.
The Smith Bill would nrevenl
the Supreme Court from rilling
wnere state laws are involved. The
labor leaders said the measure
would "destroy the slate-federal
relationship and undermine the
Supreme Court's power."
