Hobo Jungle To Success For Debt Ridden Inventor LOS ANGIiLKS UPD - Dcbl-i ridden Klmcr Meukel, 41, the in ventor who descried his home tor a hobo juniile to escape his credi tors, was on the threshold ot pos sible fame and fortune today. An electronics firm, Polaris En gineering Company, wanted to dis cuss as soon as possible Meukel's idea for a device to prevent in flight airplane collisions. If everything works nut, the self educated inventor could receive as much as $35,000 a year in royalties for his electronics device plus a salary as consulting engineer for its development. Polaris said the government had expressed interest in spending millions on Meukel's concept for preventing aerial collisions if a working prototype could be developed.

Before he left, Meukel had tried to interest Polaris in his inven tion, a device which had sent him deep into debt to support his fam ily as he worked on it.

Crew says an ordinary foot will penetrate that dirt only half an inch. Tve seen hundreds of these footprints in the past few weeks," said Crew. He added he made the cast of a print in dirt he had bull dozed Friday in a logging opera lion in the dense, high forests above Weitchpeg, 50 miles north and a bit east of here in the Klamath River country ot North western California.

They have seen hundreds of foot prints in an area about 30 miles long stretching from the village of Willow Creek to a stream called Bluff Creek west of Somesbar. Crew says one logger followed continuous track for three-quarters ot a mire through fresh earth Bigfoot, as the Bluff Creek peo ple call the creature, apparently travels only at night. Crew said he seems fascinated by logging operations, particularly the earth moving that Crew does with h: bulldozer in hacking out new lo: ging trails. Every morning we find his foot prints in the fresh earth we'v moved the day before," Crew said Crew said Robert Titmus, a tax idermist from Redding, studied the tracks and said they were not made by any known animal. And they can t be made by a bear, as there are no claw marks, said Crew, "The foot has five stubby toes and the stride averages about 50 inches when he's walking and goes up to 10 feet when he's running." Crew said Raymond Wallace, an other employe of the Granite Log ging Co. for which Crew Works. measured the stride and found one stretch where Bigfoot apparently was chasing a deer and was lop ing along 10 feet at a stride. Crew's account supports earlier reports which have been circulat ing here this summer. Mrs. Jess Bemis of Salver said on Sept. 1!) her husband had seen (racks in the same area, and Larry Knudsen of Areata reported similar tracks along the Mad River. Two years ago reports from the same area told of logging camp equipment tumbled about, includ ing full 50-gallon drums of gaso line scattered by some unknown agency. Several years ago reports were current of similar footprints found on Ml.
