Euji.ji, oat. pujsiiiMiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir KLAMATH Price Five Cent 20 Pages la The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Thought-provoking note in the news: Four men have been arrested in Los Angeles with 100 ounces of pure heroin in their possession. Arresting officers say the stuff represents a retail value of roughly ONE MILLION DOLLARS. They describe the haul as one of the largest in Southern California his tory. The four are being held in jail pending action by a federal grand jury. (Manufacture, importation and use of heroin in the U.S. are forbidden by federal law.) That is to say: An ounce of heroin is worth about $10.000 meaning by "worth" that consumers of it are willing to pay (hat much. That's pretty expensive. First What is heroin? It is a drug made from mor phine. It has an effect similar to that of morphine, but it is more poisonous and much more habit forming. At the same time, it doesn't soothe pain and bring sleep as quickly as morphine. Second Why are people willing to pay so much for it? The answer is interesting: At first, heroin EXPANDS THE EGO OF THE USER AND GIVES HIM A S E N S E OF EXAGGER ATED PERSONAL VALUE AND HAPPINESS. Later it removes pity, remorse and all sense of responsibility. It undermines the emotions and mor als of its user perhaps more than any other drug. Let's put it this way: . To its victims, heroin offers SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. They take a little shot of it and lo and behold they have a "sense of exaggerated personal value and happiness." That seems so much cheaper than WORKING for it. GOP Planning Dollar Drive A well attended meeting of Re publican Precinct committeemen and committeewomen met Thurs day night at Republican headquar ters, 1037 Main, and completed plans for the final weeks of the current campaign. Fred Rueck, Bonanza, Central Committee chairman, reported that the group plans to hold open house every Thursday night at headquarters. Plans were also completed for the "neighbor-to-neighbor" cam paign to solicit dollars for Repub licans. Rueck pointed out that the pur pose of the dollars for Republican drive was two-fold. First, it would give each individual a chance to take an active hand financially in the campaign, and second, it would give neighbors an opportunity to discuss the forthcoming election with each other. "That's why we like to term it 'neighbor-to-neighbor,' " he said He also pointed out that any per son could drop into Republican headquarters and leave his dollar for the campaign. The headquar ters will be open every afternoon Information on all the ballot measures will be available, too, he pointed out, at the headquarters jftd everyone is urged to get the Inlormation so as lo make an in formed choice on November 4.

(AP) The United States warned today President Eisenhower's proposed one-year moratorium on nuclear tests will be nullified if the So viets continue test explosions after Oct. 31. At the same time, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge declared the United States cannot agree to a complete and permanent cessation of tests until progress is made on other phases of disarmament. Lodge spoke before the U.N.'s 81-nation Political Committee as it opened a comprehensive debate on disarmament. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin immediately ac cused the United States of being unwilling to seek agreement at the coming Geneva talks on a perma nent end to nuclear weapons test ing. The talks oen Oct. 31. In a bitter attack on U.S. policy, Zorin declared Lodge's speech demonstrated that " the United States wants the cessation of tests to be the last step in a series of disarmament measures, while the world is clamoring for an imme diate end to the tests. He called Lodge's speech disappointing. Lodge expressed regret that the Soviet Union had resumed testing nuclear weapons on the eve of the Oct. 31 talks in Geneva on a permanent suspension of tests. He said Soviet Foreign Minister An drei A. Gromyko had thrown doubt on his government's willing ness to stop tests. He referred to Gromyko s state ment that the Soviet Union might match Western tests blast for blast. Lodge said the U.S. offer to sus pend tests for one year was made to facilitate the Geneva talks "and it would be regrettable indeed if the Soviet Union took steps which had the opposite effect. Louisianian Sparks Scrap BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Camille F. Gravel Jr., handsome, black-h aired Louisianian, has touched off a political scrap that may provide a clue to the Demo cratic party's attitude toward the South in 1960. An angry coalition of segrega tionists, states righters and sup porters of Gov. Earl Long voted Wednesday to fire the 43-year-old Alexandria attorney as Louisiana national committeeman. He was high in party affairs. The state charge was that Gravel betrayed the South in his open support of the national party on civil rights. Gravel, with backing of Demo cratic National Committeeman Paul Butler, insists the state group had no right to remove a national committeeman. Gravel, a Catholic lay leader in heavily Catholic Louisiana, de scribes his stand on segregation as moderate. "I feel that purely as a moral proposition segregation is wrong." he says. "But I never advocated racial integration in any shape or form." i A tough veteran of more than a decade of Louisiana politics. Gravel backed the 1957 Civil Rights Act "insofar as it protect ed the right to vote. . . . Born and reared in Alexandria, a central Louisiana city, Gravel completed high school in 1931, then went to Notre Dame four years. He attended Louisiana State University Law School two years and completed his law training at Catholic University in wasnington, D.C., holding down a job on the U.S. Capitol police force at the same time. No. 6302 He declared that the resump tion of Soviet testing had raised a question as to whether the U.S. offer still holds. "I am authorized," he added, 'to assure the United Nations on behalf of the United States gov ernment that, as President Eisen hower announced, we will with hold further testing for one year irom me date the negotiations be ginunless, of course, the Soviet Union conducts further tests be yond that date." . Plane Crash Takes Lives Of 19 Airmen PAYETTE, Idaho (AP)-An Air Force transport, apparently trying a wheels-down emergency landing crashed and burned with 19 serv icemen aboard Thursday night. All were killed. A team of Air Force investiga tors began a probe today amid speculation the twin-engine C123 may have run into a flock of geese. Witnesses said the plane ap peared to be gliding in for a land ing just before it smashed nose first into a brush-covered hillside on a ranch near this southwest Idaho community. 'There were three lights blinking and the wheels were down," said irrigation worker Norman Mead ows. "It looked like he was going to try and make a landing. Officials from Idaho's Mountain Home Air Force Base said the 19 aboard were all Air Force person nel. They said the plane was en route to McChord Field, Tacoma, Wash., from its home Pope Air Force Base, N.C. Identity of the victims was with held. Sheriff Ray Stephens said some witnesses told him they saw a flock of geese in the area at the time of the crash. Fire from the wreckage burned some five acres of brush.-. A tenant on the Nelson ranch, Claude Smith, said his wife shout ed as he was doing his evening milking that a plane had crashed. "We went right over there but couldn't get up close enough to give any help, he said. We found a piece of torn newspaper. It was dated today, from Okla homa City." Solons Scored By Ike's Kin SPOKANE. Wash. (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower's brother said Thursday night that "fuzzy think ers have pulled their welfare wool over our eyes." Edgar Eisenhower, 69-year-old Tacoma attorney, said the nation is driving down a road of social ism.. But he made it clear he felt Congress, not his brother, is re sponsible. Eisenhower was principal speaker at a Republican dinner for William Bantz, GOP candidate for the seat held by Sen. Henry Jackson (D-Wash). "We parents and grandparents may not live to see this country completely socialized although at the rate we are going, that cer tainly is a possibility," Edgar said in his first political speech since the President was nominat ed in 1952. The remedy lies in the election of courageous men to the Senate and House, he said. "EMPLOY THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED" is the slogan of the week, and Mrs. Louise E. Brown, center, is one who took it to heart. What is exceptional is that Mrs. Brown, who is blind, employed herself. She is shown test ing the switchboard of her new telephone answering service, with the assistance of Jim Sweek, left, of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. Ron Clancy, PT&T salesman, stands at right. ' Blind Woman Phone Answering Service An unusual new Klamath Falls business was launched Tuesday in the home of Mrs. Louise E. Brown, 2025 Arthur Street. It is an unusual enterprise for two reasons, first, because Brown's Telephone Answering Service, the new firm's name, is the only business in Klamath Falls devoted exclusively to telephone answering, and second, because Mrs. Brown, the proprietor, is blind. A recent graduate of the school Iron Makers Get Warning WASHINGTON (UPI)-General Motors has warned the nation's iron makers it plans to switch soon from iron to aluminum en Slues. - .. y GM engineers refused to let a specific date for the switch. But other automotive sources indicated the new light weight engines will appear in the 1960 cars. They said the aluminum motors may be used at first just in certain models or as optional equipment. Dr. Robert F. Thomson of the GM Research Laboratories told the Gray Iron Founders' Society Thursday that the iron industry should "develop new products to replace business it must in evitably lose. Another speaker. Darl F. Caris of the GM engineering staff, told the National Organization of Foundry Owners that aluminum engines would weigh up to 200 pounds less than the current iron motors. The lighter engines will require less support, lighter tires and lighter brakes, he said. Mothers Spank; Psychologists Get No Apology WASHINGTON (AP) - What ever the child psychologists say, spanking goes on. We spank and we don t apolo gize, said one of the 100 women delegates attending a conference on better living. The mothers in the group were almost unanimously in favor of spanking as a form of discipline As the cross-section of Ameri can mothers saw it, parents have to agree on the discipline to make it work and you still have to "make the punishment fit the crime." Tri-Personality Bothering Him ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP)-They just don't come any fairer than Earl B. Pugslcy, man of proper ty and building inspector for sub urban Irondequoit. Pugsley the houseowncr wants to build an addition, but Pugsley the official says he can't. The particular change he has in mind, says Pugsley to Pugsley, is not allowed by the present zoning waiver. The problem is this: Pugsley is also secretary of the Board of Ap peals. Air Force Plane Crosses Pacific SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE. III. (AP) The first Pacific crossing bv the Air Force's four-engine C133 Cargomaster was announced Thursday night by the Military Air Transport service. The turbo prop giant made the flight of 2.142 nautical miles from Travis AFB, Calif., to Hickam AFB, Hawaii, in 8 hours, 58 min utes. The Cargomaster was described as the first air carrier capable of carrying nuclear and other ad vanced weapons lo strategic desti nations csecd and efficiency. Will Operaie at San Rafael, California, which trains the blind in the use of guide dogs, Mrs. Brown worked as PBX switchboard attendant at' various times before she became blind through illness about a year ago Home again in Klamath Falls after training at San Rafael, Mrs. Brown decided to go into business for herself. A special telephone set-up de signed for use by blind individuals has been installed in her home byi Pacilic Telephone, according to Thayne W. Cole, manager here. Incoming calls on the telephone key equipment are signaled by bells as on ordinary arrangements. But instead of lights a pop-up but ton indicates the line on which the call is being made. Using this arrangement, Mrs Brown can run her fingers over the keys and quickly locate the line, throw a switch and answer the call. She takes her notes in Braille. Three-doctors are anions Mrs. Brown's first customers. However, her telephone equipment is capa ble of handling up to 22 subscribers and she Hopes to increase her cli ent list. Cole said the only similar tele phone installation of this typo is located in Salem, where another blind person has operated a suc cessful answering service for many years. 'Bama Mulls School Plan BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) A private corporation is being set up Alabama to operate private segregated schools if the state's public school system is closed be cause of racial integration threats. The announcement of the cor poration's plans brought a prompt warning trom State school supt. Austin R. Meadows: "Don't rock the boat." That such a corporation is be ing formed was announced Thurs day by attorney MacDonald Gal- lion of Montgomery, Democratic nominee for state attorney gen eral. His election in November is virtually assured because he is a candidate of the dominant Dem ocratic party. Meadows said that he does not see how it will be practicable to get teachers and lacimies needed lor private schools when we haven't been able to build enough public schools. The school superintendent also said he doesn t think it will be possible to establish tax-free pri vate schools to get around the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 deci sion outlawing segregation in pub lic schools. The 45-year-old Montgomery at torney emphasized that the cor poration is to be run by private in dividuals, and no public officials would have a voice in its opera lion. The move follows a pattern set by Democratic gubernatorial nom inee John Patterson, who has been appealing for public support of legal machinery designed to block integration.

Labor Sections Report Unemployment Dip WASHINGTON (AP) Un employment dropped by 588,000 in September, marking what the gov ernment called a significant im provement in the job situation. The joint monthly report of the Commerce and Labor Depart ments said unemployment de clined from 4.699.000 in August to 4,111,000 in September. This was about twice the usual seasonal decline between August and September. Employment also dropped, fall ing from 65,367.000 to 64.629.000 or a decline of 738,000. This is usual Army Jupiter Blown Apart Over Florida CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) A powerful Jupiter rocket was blown apart in a blazing display of missile fireworks over Cape Canaveral Thursday night. It was the third ballistic weapon in a row to explode shortly after liftoff in the past month. The Jupiter the usually reli able 1,500-mile missile which also will provide the big punch for the Army's moon rocket was delib erately destroyed after it swerved violently out of control several thousand feet high. One huge chunk crashed back on the cape with a roar; other debris splashed into the ocean nearby. No one was injured and there was no property damage re uortcd. Salvage crews searched for broken nieces of the 60-foot rocket to help Army missilemen deter mine the trouble. The Jupiter thundered aloft from billows of white flame and smoke, but appeared to sway slightly as it climbed toward snace. After 32 seconds it was blown up by the range sateiy ot ficer. There was a bright flash and an ear-splitting noise.

The duck population, chiefly pin- tails, mallard and widgeons, is near its peak, he said. The geese now numbering approximately 171,000, are steadily coming in to the areas and are nearly all white fronts and Canada:. This pre-season waterfowl cen sus was completed on Wednes day by Pilot-Biologist Ray Glahn and Management Biologist Bob Ab- ney of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. There are 174,000 more ducks and geese on the refuge areas at this time than were present last year lor the opening weekend Ekedahl said. This total represents 152,000 more ducks and 22,000 more geese, with the greatest in crease of populations on the Lower Klamath area. He estimates there are more than three million birds on the Tule Lake refuge and about two million on Lower Klamath. About 20,000 acres of public hunt ing area are open on both federal refuges managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlile Service. Ekedahl added that botulism losses, which were a problem dur ing the summer, have been over come.

About one million students quit summer jobs to return to classes this year. secretary of Commerce Weeks and Secretary of Labor Mitchell said: ' A sharp pickup among adult men in nonfarm activities was chiefly responsible for reducing the unemployed total to its lowest level for the year thus far. Hirinc was especially brisk in automobile plants and steel mills, and among producers of home appliances. In addition, mere was the usual ex pansion in school staffs." An early autumn lull in farm activity, as well as the customary September withdrawal of students from the labor market, contrib uted toward the decline in em ployment. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment fell to 7.2 per cent in September from 7.6 per cent in August. A year ago in September, when unemployment was 2,552,000 or 1,559,000 lower than September this year, the unemployed ratio was 4.5 per cent. Factory employment increased by 240,000 in September to 15,700. 000. The pickup was concentrated in the hard hit durable goods in dustries, and was the largest gain recorded for any month since the low point in May. The rise in r.uto industry em ployment resulted from an early start on production of new models. Signiticant increases also were reported by producers of radios, television sets and electronic equipment.

Over a white silk cassock with a long train was drawn a long white alb, a full-length vestment reaching to the feet. Over the alb was a red and gold dalmatic, an outer vest ment, and a red chasuble or sleeveless cloak. About his neck was the pallium, made of bands of lambs wool. On his head was a tall golden mitre. There were red gloves on his hands and red slippers on his leet. those are the robes in which he is buried, wrapped in a red silk shroud. Cardinals, other high prelates, and the entire diplomatic corps to the Vatican, representing nearly 50 countries, were present at ab solution rites in the basilica. The motor hearse carrying the pontiff had glass walls, but the coffin was covered by red silk, and the body was not visible. Along the route men, women and children stood hushed. Some wept. Priests and nuns said their rosaries as they waited and watched the hearse go by. A motorcycle escort of Italian police preceded the hearse. Ahead of it were two cars carrying church dignitaries. The Pope s body was viewed at Castel Gandolfo Thursday night by 15,000 persons. This morning thou sands more entered to pay their last respects.
