Newspaper Page Text6-1-59 la Th- Day's lews 'U Of 'ORESd'S' LIB2AST ' EUSSJtE, CM. -H By FRANK JENKINS Sign of the times: The Wall Street Journal reports that reprinted dime novels of the 1880's are going like hot cakes at 65 CENTS! That's INFLATION for you. Back in their heyday, these paper-back thrillers were contra band. They were smuggled from hand to hand like marijuana in these more modern days. In a generation nourished on Louisa May Alcotfs Little Men, Little Women, Rose in Bloom, Eight Cous ins, etc., and Horatio Alger's Strug gling Upward and Other Works with Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe permitted in certain households, but generally frowned on because it dealt with low characters such as outlaws these dime novels were strong meat. Much too strong, it was felt, for adolescent literary stomachs. When they were read (which was oftener than was generally known among parents and guar dians) they were read out in the haymow. Ah, me! How times have changed. In these days, I'd say, the fact that people are cheerfully plank ing down 85 cents for these dime novels of yesteryear and ACTU ALLY READING THEM in prefer-1 ence to a lot of the trash avail able on the paper-back racks is a distinctly GOOD sign. It indicates, perhaps, that our literary tastes are IMPROVING. Speaking of inflation You've noted undoubtedly, if you're at all interested in such things, that the Federal Reserve Board (generally referred to in the jargon of the security markets as "the Fed") has raised margin requirements for stock purchases from 70 per cent to 90 per cent. That is to say: If you want to purchase slocks, you must now put up 90 per cent of the purchase price in cash. For some months past, it had been necessary to put up only 70 per cent in cash. Prior to that time, for quite a long period, stocks could be bought with a cash payment of only 50 . , per cent of the purchase price. What's "the Fed" up to? The answer is rather simple. IT'S PUTTING ITS FOOT ON THE BRAKE. Everyone who drives a car, I suppose, has felt the temptation, on topping a hill and seeing a long, straight, downhill road ahead to LET 'ER ROLL. It's fun. And- As long as the road stays straight and only gently sloping it's quite OK. But If beyond what seems to be a gentle curve there comes a series of SHARP curves, with perhaps a cliff on one side, the pleasant whoosh down the gentle decline may have fatal consequences. It would have been better to put on the brake sooner. "The Fed" is seeking to put on the brake in time. AEC Detonates New Test Shot ATOMIC TEST SITE, Nev.

He sits on the end of the dock from which Hal Furman Two Klamath Hunters Still By LAMAR HOOVER No trace of the two hunting companions of James Cline Hal Furman, 45, and his son, Hal Jr., 18 had yet been found Thursday morning. Cline's body was sighted about 10 a.m. Wednesday, 18 hours after the three men set off from the Furmans" dock to cross a chop py Upper Klamath Lake for an hour's deer hunting on the western JAMES CLINE shore. Their swamped boat, to which the 25 horsepower outboard was still attached, was found early Wednesday, between Buck Island and Eagle Point, somewhat south of the area in which Cline's body was later found. Slate police were maintaining their patrol boat on the lake Thurs day morning, and the Klamath Air Search and Rescue Unit, which had two planes flying over the lake on Wednesday, sent a plane over the area early in the day. Meanwhile, Sheriff J. M. Britton was conducting dragging opera tions in the area in which the boat was found. The immediate area around the vessel was dragged Wednesday af ternoon, and it was planned that the Thursday morning operation would cover the water between there and Buck Island. Britton re ports that the operation is being iTmiliH yij , win iw iiMw.,iiii, iiimiini mw conducted from M. O. Rayl's launch, a much larger vessel than that belonging to the sheriff's of fice. Rayl was one of many private citizens who had volunteered to help in the search. Sergeant Bruce Lattin of the state police said that all such offers were appreciated, and that anyone able to patrol the 'shore of the lake, in a boat or on foot, would be making a contribution. Cline. 44. recently came to Klam ath Falls, where he purchased Monroe s Moorage. Jp is survived by the widow, Maxine. Before the discovery of Cline s body was announced, a Herald and News reporter who arrived at the east shore dock near the Hirman home, brought back the following report. The little group of women at the end of the dock paid scant atten tion to the newspapermen who made their way along the long walk of water-bleached planks, that led from the east shore, through the reeds and the green foliage, to where they stood. Victims Flee Flood Scene BROWNSVILLE, Tex. (AP) The flooding Rio Grande teamed up with heavy downpours to chase thousands from theit homes on both sides of the border river. More rains upstream on the Mexican side threatened even higher waler. Heavy releases of water were made from Falcon Reservoir, about 150 miles upstream, because the flood pool was full and more water was headed downstream. The releases combined with down pours and inflows from Mexico to spread flooding and misery from the huge reservoir to the Gulf. At Lisa. Tex., heavy rains of up to 5 inches flooded streets and houses, closed schools and sent some 120 persons to temporary shelters. The Mexican city of Carmago was deserted except for police and army officials. The entire popula tion, estimated at more than 5,000, sought higher ground when the Rio San Juan backed into streets and houses. Penitas and Ahram, two small American villages south of Mis sion, were ordered evacuated as a precaution. No loss of life was reported. Plane Crash Kills Motorist BABYLON. N. Y. (AP)-A mili tary transport plane with seven men aboard crash landed on a busy highway Wednesday night, smashing into three cars during a wild skid - and fatally injuring a motorist. The twin-engine C123 ran out of gas and swooped down on the four-lane Southern State Parkway. Skidding hundreds of feet, it ripped through an underpass and struck three cars before stopping in flames. Harold J. Schneider of West Islip, N. Y., one of the motorists, died of head injuries shortly after the accident. Three Air Force personnel and two women motorists suffered mi nor injuries. The crash backed up traffic lor miles on the parkway, in Suffolk County on Long Island. INVASION LEADER FREED KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) Pakistan's two-man revolutionary govsrnment today freed Chaud hary GkuteHi Akhas, leader of the attempted imanoi of Indian Rattan iatm by m unarmed and his son embarked Tuesday afternoon, looking toward the point in Upper Klamath Lake where their swamped boat was found. Photo by Kettler Mrs. Furman, wife and mother of the missing pair, stood the farthest out and gazed toward that saddleback on the opposite shore. Clutched to her waist was her youngest daughter. The saddleback, located on the Rock Creek Ranch, was on a line with the dock and the red speck, faintly visible out in the lake, that was the prow of the sunken boat. It was Mrs. Furman s sister, Mrs. Dorothy Jones of Merrill, who came up to answer questions. She said that her sister's family had been in Klamath Falls three or four years, having previously lived in the Willow Ranch - New Pine Creek area. Her brother-in-law worked for the Klamath Lumber and Box Company, and they had just moved out to the east shore of the lake in April, having earlier lived on Lakeport Boulevard. "He loved it out here, Mrs. Jones said. "He told everybody this was just the spot he'd been looking for all his life. Hal Jr. was the only son, but there were three daughters. The eldest, married, lives in Redding; Kay, 14, and Sherie, 9, live here. Mrs. Jones said that her brother- in-law had a brother who had just moved to Medford from Portland, and whose address they did not yet have. "His name is Glen," she said, after inquiring of her sister. He also has a brother, Everett, in Placerville, California." Then a small cabin cruiser driv en by Kay came up to the dock; we got aboard and headed across the water toward the red spot so the photographer could get a pic ture. No other human activity was visible at surface level as we "T.' T, J . knew that on the distant shore, Mrs. Furman's brother, Gilbert Andrews, was making his way along the water's edge, looking for some sign of the missing men.

Li!rTgttil Missing Others, whom we did not see. were also looking, for by this time the body ot Jim Cline had been found, floating in the water just off the west shore, opposite Buck Island some distance north of us George E. Knab of Klamath Falls found the body, which though we didn't know it had already been brought to the Klamath Yacht Club dock by W. Wayne Martin and James R. Jones, two other local men. The lake was calm, ruffled only by the waterlowl and the wake of our little boat, which churned thick and green with com;: loss liits of algae, like tiny pine needles It hadn't been that smooth the night before, Ben Morrison neighbor of Furman's, was telling us. "It was very rough until 6 or 6:30," Morrison said. "It had calmed down a bit by 7, when I started looking for the missing boat, and by midnight the calm was perfect. Morrison, who has the only phone near the Furmans', had been the first one alerted by Mrs. Furman the night before. The missing men. when leaving about 4, had told her they would hunt until sun down; then start home. Already, at 6:30, she was at Morrison's place, phoning Mrs. Cline to ask if they had returned directly to the moorage. By 7, Morrison and Kay had begun the search, while Mrs. Furman lighted a bonfire near the dock. At 8:30, Morrison brought the boat back in, so he could siphon gas from his pickup truck to keep it going, and mount a heavy search light to replace the flash they had been using. Other difficulties encountered during the six and a night included a bad electrical con nection. Both had singed fingers Wednesday morning from holding the wires in contact. The photo taken, wc. returned to the dock to hear the first rumors of the discovery of Cline's body. Though this proved to be true, the Furmans' own waiting was by no means over. This waiting was becoming more hopeless by the hour, and Mrs. Furman recalled the hours yester day evening when she had been full of hope. Early in Ihe night, she had seen a tiny lighl, far out, in the direc tion where the boat was found lat er on. "Then I saw it again," Mrs. Furman said, "and I think 1 saw it twice more. "But I'm not sure it was really a light those last two times. It may have been the stars, or only my imagination I wanted lo sec it so much." - New Vaccines Aid To Colds WASHINGTON (AP) Special vaccines made Irom your own germs may prevent your common cold from getting complicated Sucking antibiotic lozenges may nave the same effect.

T he bureau s newest calcula tions place the 1970 total popula tion of Oregon, Washington and Idaho at from 6.403.000 to 6.798,000 persons. I his compares with an climated population on July 1, 1955, Of 4.904.000. Growth of the pacific Northwest area, the bureau s ngurcs snow, is expected to continue at a faster rate than that for the United States generally. In 1970, the bu reau expects the U.S. population to range from I95.438,(iuu to 2ua, 346.000 persons, an approximate 22 per cent gain over 1955 s esti mated 164,303.000.

The projections are based various assumptions involving population migration, fertility and mortality. Utilizing past population trends in part, the projections do not take into consideration mailers of local knowledge of prospective developments which may have major impact on population Based on a cliecK oi us memons of projection wilh known popula tion growth of the past, the bureau said it believed its projections, on the average, are likely to be more accurate for 1960 than for later vears. Similarly, it saia, projec tions for larger states are likely to be more accurate than those tor smaller slates. Each of the calculations, how ever, is believed to represent a reasonable possibility in the eyes of the bureau. In a state-by-state breakdown, the bureau projects Washington's population to a range of from 3.409.000 lo 3,594.000 persons by t970. Oregon's 1970 range was cal culated at from 2,294.000 to 2.433,- 000 and Idaho s from 700,000 to 771.000 persons. The bureau's July 1955 estimate credited Washington wilh 2,607,000 populalion.

It was a resounding victory for De Gaulle in a showdown with his former supporters in this North African territory. The big Forum Square where right-wingers had called a protest demonstration was empty at the appointed hour. It was ringed with troops and firetrucks. The strike and demonstration were hastily called off after lead ers of the badly split public safety committee had held a showdown conference with De Gaulle's rep resentative, Gen. Raoul Salan, the top military and civilian com mander here. The committee, deflated by the abrupt withdrawal on De Gaulle's orders of its military members. Degan to disintegrate. Twenty-four of its original 64 founders resigned rather than risk a head - on collision with De Gaulle.

Thir teen voted against them. The committee's top Moslem members, Cherif Sid Cara and Azcm Ouali, the new copresidents, and El Madoui, a vice president, called CjR the committee to cancel its plans. The move followed a meeting in Paris between a De Gaulle aide and Ouali and Madoui who had been sent from Algiers to try to persuade the French leader to change his position. The main holdout was Pierre la Gaillarde, a former paratrooper lieutenant who claims support from right-wing Algiers students. The committee then issued a communique calling off the strike.
