PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2B, 1958, Jersey Man Shoots Self In Front Of Officer, Girl GUTTENBERG, N.J, AP -For 20 minutes Arthur Eisen, 45, tat looking into the muzzle of the rifle he was holding while his daughter and a policeman tried to talk him out of committing sui cide. Then he pulled the trigger. He died instantly. Patrolman Daniel Dandorf told this story: One of Eisen's teen-age daugh ters, Audrey, ran into police head quarters and cried that her father had a rifle and might hurt some one. Dandorf rushed to the home and found Eisen's family downstairs. Eisen was in his second-floor flat alone. When Dandorf reached the sec ond floor he heard Eisen shout through the door, "The first cop that comes in here I'll kill him." Dandorf started talking fast. It did no good. "If you open that door I'll kill you," was the only reply he got. lie went downstairs and told the family to stay put. Another of Eisen's daughters, Evelyn, disregarded the order, dodged past him and ran upstairs. Dandorf followed her into the apartment and found her in the bedroom, pleading with her fa ther. He was sitting on the bed, a 22-caliber rifle between his knees. Dandorf started talking again. "I talked to him about 20 min utes," he said later. "I had just about talked him into giving up the idea. Suddenly he put his head down on the muzzle of the rifle and pulled the trigger. He died in stantly. Eisen leaves his widow, three daughters and a son. Police faid Eisen had family troubles, and had suffered recur ring headaches. Former Red Army Officer Turkeys With U.S. Family SEATTLE fAP) - 'There's no political significance to the eating of turkey," said ex-Soviet Army lieutenant Uriy N. Sokolov Thurs day as he wished Americans a happy Thanksgiving holiday. A few hours later, he sat at the table with Dr. Richard Nelson, a Seattle dentist, and his family and ate turkey. Sokolov, 35. was sent here for a year from the Moscow Architec tural Institute as an exchange Undent at the University of Wash ington. Thursday morning he told a news conference nervously and in halting English: "I wish holiday greetings for American people. Happiness. Good health. Goodbye. Thank you." And with that he attempted to terminate the interview. But re porters persisted. Vadim 0. Pahn, a lecturer at the University of Washington, was drafted as inter preter. The good-looking Russian was more affable as he spoke in his native tongue. According to Pahn, this is how Sokolov answered the reporters: "He accepts with pleasure the Invitation for Thanksgiving dinner with a typical American family. In Russia he does not eat turkey, but will do so here because there Openi Sat. I Sun. at 11:45 DOORS CPEN 6I3D P. M. " MGM A JOSEPH Finos Production DORIS . RICHARD DAY WIDMARK J COitorrwtg GIG YOUNG GIA SCALA In CINIMASCOPS is no political significance to eat' ing turkey." And he answered only one ques tion of political significance. "He hit the hand that fed him,' said Sokolov about Boris Paster nak, the Russian writer whose novel "Doctor Zhivago" recently won him a Nobel prize. The statement came after a re porter said there was a wide spread feeling that Pasternak was denied the freedom to criticize the Soviet regime and rejected the Nobel prize under government pressure. The Russian added he was sure the American government would not allow publication of a book critical of the government and the Constitution. The questioning ended and So kolov went to the "politically in significant" dinner, after which Mrs. Nelson had this to say: "He didn't cat as much as some of the rest of us, but there was nothing left on his plate." Fire Hydrants Save Dinners NEW YORK (AP)-The use of fire hydrants saved hundreds' of turkey dinners when a six-incn water main burst in Brooklyn, leaving 1,800 homes without wa ter. The main break came about 1 p.m., when housewives were readying the holiday meal. With turkeys to be basted and veget ables to be boiled, they were in a panic. Along came the City Water De partment, stationing a man at each fire hydrant in the area. Along came the housewives, pitch ers in hand, to stock up on water. Coyo, Family Get Together WASHINGTON (AP)-The fam ily of Rep. Coya Knutson (D-Minn) got together for Thanksgiving din ner, but neither she nor her hus band Andy would say whether they had settled their differ ences. The dinner, at which they were joined by their adopted son Terry, 18. came a day after Knutson had withdrawn a $200,000 suit charg ing slander and alienation of his wife's affections. Asked the meaning of the get together, Knutson told newsmen that since it was a family dinner, there would be no comment. Mrs. Knutson agreed. Knutson publicly urged his wife last summer to quit politics and return to their Minnesota home. She refused and won renomina tion to a third term in the House, but was beaten in the November election. The following day, Knutson 'filed suit against William Kjeldahl, Mrs. Knutson's executive secre tary. Kjeldahl denied the charges on which it was based, and Knut son. in withdrawing the action, said, "It was not my idea in the first place." He said it was prompted by others who wanted his wife defeated. 'DENNIS THE MENACE" YOU COME RIGHT UP HERE AND 6&T IN THIS BED! THE DOCTOR IS WAITING! Possibilities Held Good For Passing Work Laws WASHINGTON (AP) - Chances the coming Congress will pass new labor legislation are good, Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore) said Thursday in an interview. Mrs. Green predicted the so called "right-to-work" section of the Taft-Hartley Law will be re pealed and possibly the Si an hour minimum waee will be ex tended to more workers, includ ing retail clerks. The AFL-CIO already an nounced it would seek repeal of the "right - to-work" section of the Taft-Hartley Law, which per mits states to prohibit compulsory union shop agreements. She said the union case was strengthened by the defeat of "right-to-work" measures in five states in the recent elections. The Portland congresswoman said she plans to introduce legisla tion similar to the Kennedy-Ives measure, whih the Senate passed 88-1 and the House rejected 198 190. The bill was aimed to euro the misuse of union funds and safeguard election and other rights of members. Screaming Japan Youths Mob Their Next Empress TOKYO (AP) - Thousands of screaming, crying bobbysoxers broke through police lines today to mob the cart carrying the young woman who has been nom inated from their ranks to be come Japan's next empress. Miss Michiko Shoda and her parents were going to visit Crown Prince Akihito. The prince and Michiko were alone for an hour on their second visit together since their engagement was an nouncefl Thursday. Michiko, beautiful daughter of a wealthy flour mill owner, is the first commoner in the 26-century history of the Japanese imperial family to become the prospective empress, bhe and AKUiito, Both 24 years old, will be married next spring or autumn. The couple met on a tennis court 15 months ago and saw each other only rarely. Akihito, barred by court etiquette from dating anyone, pushed his suit by telephone. After the Imperial Household Council announced the engagement, they saw each other briefly at the palace. Michiko and her parents called on Akihito today at his mansion, separate bachelor quarters away from the palace. DOORS OPEN 6:30 P.M. -- ENDS --SATURDAY They stayed for 70 minutes. As sociates said Akihito's tutors sug gested to the Shodas that "we old folk leave the young couple alone and let them talk," giving Akihito and Michiko an hour together. The visit began just as most Japanese schools were closing for the day, freeing thousands of girls from 8 to 18. lhcy swarmed around the mansion chanting: "Our future empress . . . Slioda- san, Shoda-san (Honorable Shoda)." -' The mob scene far surpassed any caused here by movie stars or rock 'n' roll singers. Veteran reporters said they could not re call a similar scene in Tokyo, al though visits of Emperor Hirohito to remote provincial towns have occasionally produced similar excitement. The demonstration exemplified the new close relationship be tween Japanese and their royal family, which was held in distant uwe before democratization moves hy American occupation forces' alter World War II. Akihito's en gagement to a commoner culminated the process of bring ing the trown close to the man in the street and the screaming bobbysoxers.

Richard L. Neuberger. (D-Ore). Neuberger said, however, he would provide the support only if assured by competent wildlife authorities that fish-passage faci lities will be adequate and effective.. The state's junior senator said he opposed the Pelton project of PGE because of what he called an adverse effect on migratory fish, then added: "However. I was overruled on this,' and damage already has been done to the Deschutes as a source of fish life. It thus stands to reason." he said, "that our state now should obtain the jobs and kilowatts from Round Butte Dam, if it can be built without compounding earlier harm to the fisheries-of the Des chutes watershed. "Once a river has been block, aded, it is logical that every pos., sible ounce of energy shmiM k. ' harnessed.
