TUESDAY, AUGUST 5. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE NINE Greeks Wait Truce Answer NICOSIA. Cyprus AP) The Creek underground EOKA waited today to see whether Turkish Cyp Xiols and British officials would :accept its offer to halt violence on this strife-ridden Mediterrane an island. ; Col. Georce Grivas, EOKA lead er, announced in leaflets that he iad ordered attacks on Britons end Turks stopped in an effort to end communal violence which has cost more than 100 lives since June 7. Five persons died yester day. But Grivas warned: "If provo cations by British and Turks con tinue in any way ... 1 shall be free to order immediate opera tions against both of them." Turkish Cypriot leader Fazil Kutchuk welcomed Grivas' state ment and said Turks would "have no reason to take any action for self-defense" if EOKA attacks slop. There was no official comment from the British. It was the third cease-fire in two years proclaimed by Grivas, who has led the Greek under ground's guerrilla war to unite Cyprus with Greece. I he previous two truces were scrupulously ob served. The Greek Cypriots contend that the Turkish minority broke the last truce and started com munal violence to support their stand that the two communities cannot live together. The Turks demand that the island be parti tioned if the British pull out. i-.V Equalization Board Plan Protested By Legislators FRED W.

Winton said. Ihe Board of Equalization has said it will assess the PG&E for the Tri Dam project on the Stanis laus River in Tuolumne and Cala veras counties.

Mrs. Pucket, 57, a determined. Texas-born property owner who says she can pot a rattlesnake at 30 yards, stood guard over her home in the route chosen by the state for a high-speed road. ror nearly a week now, she has stood or sat in front of the house, grimacing at the steady approach of heavy earth-moving equipment gouging out the freeway roadbed But she hasn t been idle.

Study Asked By Senator WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) said today Brazilian demonstrations against Secretary of State Dulles add new importance to a forthcoming Sen ate inquiry into U.S. -Latin Amer ican relations. Morse, chairman of a Latin- American subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, said the incident at Rio dc Janeiro shows the need lor a thorough study of all the forces at play in U.S.-Latin American relations. However, both Morse and Sen George D. Aiken (R-Vt), another subcommittee member, cautioned against exaggerating the signifi cance of the jeering and whistling by Brazilian students that greeted Dulles on his arrival for talks with President Juscelino Kubitschek Aiken, expressing belief the stu dent demonstrators "do not rep resent the country or the govern ment," said: "Jeering and whis tling by students is a popular pas time, even in our own country Also there has been a economic slump in Latin America and the students are impatient, especially those who don t know where jobs are coming from and they have lo blame somebody. rents for $70 a month, simply isn t enough. She wants at least $12,500 or another house which she can rent for the same amount of money. Mrs. Pucket was joined Mori day by her 23-year-old son, Ross, who set up a cot and joined his mother, newsmen and spectators in staring at the road crews. Meanwhile, hack at the State Division of Highways, the top kick, attorney George Hadley, prepared a writ of assistance for signature by Superior Judge Clyde C. Triplett. When signed, sheriffs deputies will be asked to go on over to Mrs. Pucket s and take possession of her little old house, regardless of her telescopic 30-30 rifle. There didn t figure to be showdown that would even come close to the "OK Corral." After all," Mrs. Pucket said "my husband was a police offi cer. However, she added that if they lake her away, her son will hold he house and if officers take him away, friends will take over the job. The jauhouse figures to get a little crowded. effect a lease on the Tri Dam property, and thus the company has a taxable interest in the proj ect. PG&E argues that since it neither owns, operates for main tains the project, but merely buys power, it has no taxable interest in Tri Dam. A PG&E spokesman said the assessment would total between $200,000 and $250,000 a year. The company buys about two million dollars worth ol pow er a year. PG&E attorney Malcolm H Furbush said taxation of the Tri Dam project and others like it would cause the cost of water to soar so high if the projects can be built at all that not only will water development in California be jeopardized but a painful blow- struck at the states farmers and their continually growing de mands for water." Sen. James A. Cobey (D-Mer- ced), representing the Merced Ir- igation District, told the board his district has earned 40 per cent of its total income since 1925 from he sale of power, and that the in come is needed for improvements and new projects. The result, he said, has been a lower price for irrigation water to farmers. Sen. Richard H. Dowlwig (R Redwood City' said the new tax could have "far reaching effects on all the people of the state. The tax would become part of the utilities' rate base and would re quest in higher rates, he said. P. J. Mmasian, attorney lor tne Oroville-Wyardotte Irrigation Dis trict, was one of seven irrigation district representatives who spoke against the tax. All said power revenue is essential to irrigation projects. Mmasian asked if tne Board al so proposed lo tax irrigators, say ing: "1 the PG&E has a possessory interest in these projects then so docs every irrigator who buys water.
