The state, represented by Dis trict Attorney Arthur A. Beddoe, rested its case at 10:45 a.m. Rich ard C. Beeslcy, Lambert's court appointed attorney, rested the de- lense case immediately afterward without calling witnesses. Dial arguments followed, and the case was expected to reach nine-man, three-woman i u r v snoruy auer noon. Lambert, 49, was accused of selling six heifers belonging to his employers to Joe Vigil last June a ana pocketine aDnroximate v J550 from the sale. Stale evidence showed that Lambert had provided vik'i wun a 0111 ot sale. The cattle subsequently were sold at a livestock auction in Klamath Falls. State witnesses included Ben Gerrwick, a California rancher who owns the Kirk Ranch .near Klamath Marsh; James C. Miller Jr., the ranch manager; Vigil, and Everett Malone, a state livestock inspector. The Tuesday session was inter rupted briefly while the jurors ex amined five cattle parked in a truck behind the courthouse. Ma lone climbed into the back of the truck to shuffle the cattle into po sition so jurors, looking from the ground, could see identifying marks Malone said he had made on the heifers' ears. In his final arguments, Beddoe read from a statement Lambert had made shortly after his ar rest. 'I realize I was wrong in do ing this," Beddoe quoted the state ment, "but I owed some bills and wanted to pay them." Beddoe described the crime as despicable, and he told the jury: mere is aDsoiutely no doubt in my mind about the guilt of this man. I'm sure there is no doubt in yours. Beesley asked the jury to "scru tinize very carefully" several as pects of the testimony. These, he said, included Gerrwick's power of attorney agreement with Miller, which was admitted as evidence; the fact that the livestock were sold openly, "not behind a barn or some place:" the fact that the heifers were sold at auction "for very little more than Lambert had sold them;" and "Lambert's au thority." Gerrwick said he had none, Beesley told the jurors, "but Gerr wick didn't hire Lambert Miller did." Jurors hearing the case were Carol McCulley and Arnold G. Scott of Malin; Cassie Ware of Gilchrist; Ora F. Blay of Cres cent: and Angelo Dovcn, Karl F. Dehlinger; James Young, Homer D. Clark, Howard K. Brown, Leon ard Johnson, Edna M. Bliss and William G.

Demos Deny Anti-Hatfield Campaign SALEM (AP) - Sen. Walter J Pearson (D-Portland), who will be president ot the Oregon state Senate, said today that the Demo crats aren't plotting to keep Gov. elect Mark Hatfield from becom ing governor. But Pearson made it clear that the Senate will not permit Hat field to be inaugurated until he has a clear title to the office. The inauguration is scheduled for next Monday, the day the Legislature opens. Hatfield, on that day, expects to go to the slate Supreme Court in support of his contention that he does not have to resign as secretary of state before becom ing governor. If he resigns first then Gov. Robert D. Holmes could name Hatfield's successor. Pearson said the Senate would rely upon Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton's opinion that Hatfield has to resign. "The Senate," Pearson said, "certainly won't attend any inau gural session until all the legal difficulties are cleared up. Charges lhat the Democrats are plotting to keep Hatfield from becoming governor are fantastic and untrue. We just want to make sure that he has a clear title to the office before he becomes gov ernor. 1 Oregon Weather By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 24 hours to 4:30 a.m. Tuesday Max. Mln. Prep.

Office Phone 2-32:w IiiOl S fllh 'nun Impressions Told By Retired 'Expert' By DAVE COHEN A "retired expert," with a pixie sense of humor, described his impressions upon his first vis it to America from England some 12 years ago to the Klamath Knife! and Fork Club Monday evening in the Pine Grove Room of the Wil lard Hotel, John Petlley, now a resident of Southern California, became a re tired expert when he ceased to travel at the expense of His Majesty's Navy after the world war. He explained that anyone who has ever been to a country is an expert, no matter how short the duration of stay. He said that he had become an expert on Ma laya with a one-year stay; Hong Kong, one week and many others of equally short sojourns. But Pettley, in his own term and in the theme of his talk, was "still at large." To the speaker, this means viewing things with an open mind, and though he lives here and would not like to go back to his homeland, he is still discovering America. With tongue In cheek, and giv ing the illusion of a small boy discovering Utopia, replete with candy, ice cream and lollypops, Pettley landed in the U.S., osten sibly on a mission for J. Arthur Rank, British film mogul. He suddenly realized that the stories he had- heard from the lips of GIs during the war, about America having the biggest this or the largest that, were not exag gerations. Pettley s train ride across the wide and broad expanse of the states was complete with his first encounter with a bubble gum chewing little girl who sat next to him; finding that the states are not really united on all things as illustrated by the jaunt through Kansas. The Wheat State was dry, the Britisher discovered while in the lounge car, because his highball School Road (Continued from Page 1) Rowe reported 353 fire alarms dur ing 1958, eight false. This was only one alarm short of the record high of 354 in 1954. The city department laid 45,750 feet of three-quarter inch hose, al most nine miles. Over a million and a half dollars of property was risked in fires with but $38,911 loss, and of this figure, $33,551 was covered by insurance. There' were 90 fires in dwellings 29 in motor vehicles, 27 in hotels and apartments and 16 in office and bank buildings, others listed as miscellaneous. Fires listed as havine been caused by matches and careless smokers totaled 131. Other causes 47 from defective wiring and 33 irom overheated stoves, oi fur naces. His report listed two deaths. Dr and Mrs. Ray Oldenburg, when their home on Pacific Terrace burned. He also cited two injuries, second degree burns on neck suf fered by fireman Dewey Mitchell on May 28, and first degree burns ro lace and arms by Ray Tidwell 35, on June 20 at the city-owned uem stadium. Oliver Spiker was reelected as president of the council, while Rosie Keller was named city re corder ana Mrs. Donna Oden, as sistant recorder. Remy G. Stein submitted his resignation from the city boxing commission, ana Mayor Slater an nounced he would name a replace ment later. SPECIAL!

He arrived al the California In stitute of Technology and discov ered that the "workmen" in jeans. T-shirts and saddle shoes were really students, which is quite the reverse of the staid British stu dent garb of tie and suit. Sports provided some consterna tion for the visitor. Having diffi culty with the English language, he turned to the newspapers for some aid. What he discovered is a head line that he still carries about with him on his tours. It says, Cards Drub Cubs Gain On Idle Bums." Pettley said that in England, bums are usually called tramps and that over there they, too, were idle. He appended that Webster was no help and to further con found matters, Webster states that to club means to cudgel. Above the headline was a picture, he said, depicting men with weapons in their hands, and he pictured some sort of massacre taking place. Shortly thereafter, something called the World Series took place and the Briton said that his feel ings were hurt because England was not included. After he had been here a short time, Pettley was asked to ad dress the Optimists Club. Not knowing what the function of the club was, he asked an American colleague, who explained that op timists are people who believe that Britain will pay back their lend-lease. He explained that his recollec tion of history is fuzzy and that his memory ' of English history stops someplace around 1776. He recalls vaguely that about that time the Boston Tea Party took place. He said that since the Englishman looks upon his tea with such reverence, that when the colonists threw it into the har bor, it was no wonder a war be gan. In a sober mood, Pettley said that to discover a country, you must discover the people, and quoting from an English writer. he pointed out that while there are some differences in the vo cabulary, words such as freedom, love, faith and comradeship mean the same. Pettley was introduced by John Howard. The club announced that the next program will be held on February 25 and will feature Tom and Betty Tucker, mind readers. Ross Ragland, club president, said that the organization has been given an additional speaker. Gene Conklin, who will discuss "The Hu man Side of The World."
