Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, OCTOBER 23. MSB HERALD ANT) NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE 7 A The ??? Baffles Sheriffs Office By. TOM STIMMEL "The Thing" baffling, bewilder-l ins . and blinkins appeared in Sheriff Red Britton's mail this Wck. He doesn't know what to do with It. exactly, because he doesn't know what it is, exactly. And that's the point. Exactly. Seems Dr. Joseph Beeman, a pathologist in Boise, Idaho, sent "The Thing" to Britton soliciting advice. Beeman called it his "electronic wonder" and asked what uses Red and his staff would suggest for it. The "electronic wonder," as Beeman calls it, or "The Thing," as the sheriff's office calls it, is a little gray plastic box, just so big by so big, completely sealed, with two little lights slicking out in front. The lights blink continually. VThey never stop. And that's the thing, or electron ic wonder. Since Dr. Beeman wanted to know what use could be made of it "has it helped in law enforce ment?" was the way he put it, Red and the bovs put it to the test. "I put it on a big flat rock while deer hunting," the sheriff wrote the inventor, "and waited. Along came a big buck who thought he saw a lat doe making eyes at him. The buck stopped, flopped forward, stopped again, looked very close, and I let him have it." Deputy Fred Calfce found it more of an enemy than a friend. "I put it on the night stand, and the wife came in from a late card party, saw that thing winking at her and tore through a Thermo pane window," Calfee insisted. "It cost the insurance company $25." "The Thing" has benefited crim i n a 1 detection tremendously, claimed Del Summers, who put it to a more practical lest. "I put a prisoner in a dark room and put The Thing in a corner," he said. "I made him stay there for an hour looking at those Hashes. 1 come back in an hour and he was ready to confess anything even things he and I never heard of." And so it goes. Or so Britton. Calfce, Summers, Dale Mattoon and the other boys around the of fice say it goes. "The Thing" may prove lo he a flop as a solution to criminal minds, but it certainly is a stimu lant for 'creative minds. And a very successful practical Joke. "BAFFLING" is one way to describe this little gray box that arrived in the sheriff's office. That's the effect it has had on Deputies Fred Calfee, left, and Del Summers and the rest of the staff, for that matter. Anti-Red Novel Wins Prize For Russian-Born Author Yreka Employs Another Clerk YREKA The employing of xtra clerk to assist Yrcka's City ?Ierk Alton Taylor was authorized during the brief session of the Yreka city council Thursday eve ning, October IB. Mayor Jim Cummings pointed iul the need for an extra clerk was evident with the increased paperwork on the city police and the city clerk's office. City Clerk 'Taylor has two assistants, but with the addilion of a third clerk, the office will be able to operate more efficiently and will allow city poltce officers more free time for patrol duties. Also during the session a notice of approval from the county boun dary commission was received for the proposed annexation of new areas to the south and west of Yreka. This, with the approval of voters, will approximately double the present r.rea of the city. STOCKHOLM (AP)-Roris Pas ternak, the Russian poet and au thor of the anti-Communist novel "Doctor Zhivago," today was awarded the 1!I58 Nobel Prize in Literature. The award was the most dra matic in years. The 68-ycar-old author still lives just outside Mos cow. The Soviet government has not permitted publication in Rus sia of his monumental novel about what communism has done to freedom and tried to prevent its publication abroad. The award, worlh $41,420, was certain to be interpreted by many as a slap in the face for the So viet government. There was specu lation lhat the Soviet authorities would not allow Pasternak to re ceive his prize, or would take re prisals against him. Known as the greatest living poet writing in the Russian lan guage. Pasternak despaired of publishing creative writing of his own under Slalin and for years devoted himself lo translations of such foreign classics as Goelhe and Shakespeare. "Doclor Zhivago" upon which he had been working quietly for 10 years was completed in 1!I5I during the de-Stalinization period o( comparative trecdom tor writ ers. But to make certain it was published, he sent it abroad by a Iriend. The monumental novel first an pcared in Italy in Italian last year and was published in the United Stales last monlh. The 700-page book has for its hero uin Andrcycvich Zhivago, a wealthy doctor and writer who tells, through literary bits he left behind, of the tragedy of Russia in this century. It obviously expresses Pastor- nak's reaction to the Russian Revolution. Critics have hailed its sweeping breadth and placed it in the tradi tion of Tolstoy's "War and Peace." The award was made by the lfi members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters from funds provided in the will of the late Al fred Nobel, inventor of dynamite The citation said it was given for Pasternak s important achieve ment both in contemporary lyri cal poetry and in the field of the great Russian epic tradition. In an obvious attempt to fore stall Soviet criticism, Dr. Anders Ocslcrling, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said the author's writing is "high above political party frontiers." Oth er members of the academy said they viewed Doctor Zhivago one of the great philosophical nov els of our time.
