Mnnlhly Total 253 124 Season Total 3966 3361 Streamflow Decline Seen Streamflow in Klamath Basin will be below average this sum mer unless marked increases oc cur in the mountain snow pack, according to a report released to day by W. T. Frost, Snow Survey Supervisor for U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service and Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station. Ground water contributions, par ticularly in the Upper Klamath Lake Basin, will offset this con dition to some extent in that area. Reservoired water supplies are much above normal. Present snow cover is 21 per cent of normal and 16 per cent of Jast year. Only five per cent of the normal winter snow pack has accumulated whereas usually 38 per cent is on the ground by January l. Upper Klamath Lake and Clear Lake are two-thirds full, while Gerber is almost one-half full The three reservoirs are -142 per cent of the 1938-52 normal. Mountain soils are moderately wetted. Inflow into Upper Klamath Lake continues above normal with an October through December flow of 134 per cent normal. The state-wide outlook for Ore gon's 1959 water supply, as of this early winter date, is not good. However, reservoired water sup plies are excellent with most res ervoirs holding well above, aver age amounts. The mountain snow- pack averages a new record low according to current snow surveys. The next report on snow sur veys and water supply conditions will be issued on February 8, 19d9 Police Docket Roundup Told Three thefts of identically the same nature wheels and tires stolen from pickup trucks were reported by city police today. Adrian Perrault, 516 Division Street, said a tire and wheel were stolon from his pickup parked in front of his house Monday night; Fran Durbin, a block away at 605 Division Street, said a wheel and tire were stolen from his pickup in his garage, and L. F. Lusk, 711 Mitchell Street, reported a similar theft Monday night. lhree accidents also were re ported, one involving the police paddy wagon and the other two rcar-endcrs. The paddy wagon, police said, tried to avoid a car which was sliding into it on an icy street and grazed against a telephone pole at Oak and Spring streets at 2:15 p.m. Sunday. An aulo firm pickup driven by Troy May Kile, 1736 Etna Street, had stopped to permit a car ahead to make a left turn in the 2500 block of South Sixth Street and was struck in the rear by a car driven 'by Vernon L. Durant, Route 2. Last night a police car stopped on Main between Eighth and Ninth to permit a car to leave a parking place. Paul Robertson, 601 Ala meda, stopped behind the patrol car, but Daniel Paul Andrews, 20, an OTI student, couldn't stop behind Robertson. No citations were issued from cither accident. Other reports: Bob Rutter reported' that a stained glass window in the base ment of the Zion Lutheran Church, Eleventh and Pine streets, was broken: and Buster Clawson, 2021 Homedale Road, said a 25-35 rifle was stolen from his home.

Calif. (UPD A Superior Court judge Tuesday set Feb. 16 (or the trial of Mrs. El izabeth Duncan following the 54- year-old woman's plea of innocent and innocent by reason of insan ity to plotting the murder of her pregnant daughter-in-law. The Santa Barbara matron wore a tan coat over her prison denims as she said "not guilty" when Judge Charles Blackstock asked for her plea. Her attorney. S. Ward Sullivan. then added the plea of innocent by reason of 'nsamty which brought an immediate rumble of protest from the some 250 spec tators seated in the courtroom. Undersheriff Volney Cummins said an unidentified woman swung at the defendant with her purse he escorted the handcuffed woman through the courthouse corridor jammed with about 500 persons. Sullivan asked for a change of venue, stating he did not feel his client would receive a fair trial because of statements allegedly made by Ventura District Attor ney Roy Guslafson. Martin's Heart Sickness Not Kind Physician Treats By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPD-Joe Mar tin laid aside the cane he had used since last summer when he suffered a blood clot in his leg. He marched jauntily into his par ty's caucus armed with a two- page testimonial from Dr. Paul Dudley White, the heart special ist. Dr. White pronounced him re covered and in the peak of condi tion. When Martin left the closed- door session in the House cham ber two hours later, Dr. White's letter lay crumpled in his pocket. Joe made his slow way, limping through Statuary Hall and back to his office. He was tired. He was 74. The sickness he felt in his heart was not the kind Dr. White treats. After 20 years as House Rcpub lican leader or speaker, during years fat for his party and some that were painfully thin, Joe Mar tin had been turned out to pas Funerals BARNETT Funeral services for Edward D.

Officials Can't Explain Reasons For PT&T Blast ROSEVILLE, Calif. (UPI)-Fire officials were at a loss today to explain what caused a mysterious explosion that shattered a Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Com pany repeater station, interrupting transcontinental communications for an hour. The blast took place Tuesday at 11:45 a.m. p.s.t. It shot the roof of the repeater building 100 (cet into the air. The roof landed on the roof of the Fred Whitehead home nearby. The Whitehead family of four was rating lunch at the time. None of them was injured. . The entire building, constructed of insulated rock wall and brick was scattered hundreds of feet. Windows and light fixtures nearby homes were shattered by the force of the blast. The explo sion was heard for miles.

Snrlal llftur I I 1 p.m. Dinner 1 p.m. rtmr Fnllnwlnr Mrmhrri tnd Invllrd riUMla Gustafson objected to the mo tion and argued that his office had not received a 24-hour notifi cation as required by law. But Judge Blackstock disregarded the objection and denied permission to transier the trial sue without prej udice. . Because of the innocent by rea son of insanity plea, Mrs. Dun can will undergo a psychiatric ex amination before the trial. Mrs. Duncan was indicted along with Augstine Baidonado, 25, and Luis Moya, 22, by the Ventura Grand Jury in the slaying of Mrs. Olga Kupczyk Duncan, 30, an at tractive Canada-born nurse. The two men have confessed strangling and beating Olga Dun can and leaving her body in a shallow grave in a ravine near East Casitas Pass. They said the mother-in-law had promised them $6,000 if they would murder the wife of her son, attorney Frank Duncan, 29. Mrs. Duncan, however, denied having any part in the slaying and said the two were blackmail ing her. ture. Tears he wasn't willing to shed welled up in his eyes. Sure, his old friends gave him a standing ovation. They offered him a new, hollow title. They shook his hand and wished him good luck. They said and it was true, almost to a man they loved him still. But they voted, 74 to 70, to re place him as party leadtr with Charlie Halleck, his rival. "They did what is done for all dead men, Joe told reporters af flicted with unaccustomed lumps in their throats. They sent flow ers. Joe's friends had told him to disregard the revolt that had been brewing among younger Republi cans since Nov. 4, when the GOP was reduced to 153 House mem bers against 283 for . the Demo crats. Even at the end they were in sisting Halleck was licked. But on the ballot, with every man voting n secret, some of Martin s friends let him down. To most observers it had seemed unthinkable that more votes would be cast against than for the name of Joe Martin. It was a name known lo millions. Martin's unruly black hair, his beedle brow and fierce grin, his stocky figure, were capitol land marks. To many Americans, who watched or heard Martin's heavy handed use of the gavel at five consecutive Republican national conventions, Martin had come to symbolize the Old Guard of the GOP. That, no doubt, was part of his downfall. There also was the in escapable fact that Joe's birth days were beginning to show. The blood clot, cured or not, was men tioned by some. Even his closest friends said that Martin had slipped since the lean GOP year of 1939 when newsmen voted him the ablest man in the House. Joe never had been much of a speaker. But some members late ly had said the bloopers and tongue-twisters for which his speeches were famous were get ting more chuckles than votes. Once, as speaker during a Re publican Congress, Martin recog nized "the gentleman from Hal leck, Mr. Indiana." With the same Charlie Halleck. as chairman of an escort committee, in mind Martin on another occasion intro duced Syngman Rhee as "presi dent of Indiana India I mean Korea." Joe always joined in the laugh ter. Tuesday, there seemed noth ing to laugh about. more than an hour to hundreds of California newspapers and ra dio stations. Also disrupted were stock mar ket quotations from New York and leased teleprinter circuits of sev eral major business firms. Some Air force communications lines were also disrupted. Radio Station KNBC in San Francisco reported us network tie line was out for more than two hours. Officials of the PT&T and Rose- ville firemen were unable to ex plain the cause of the blast. They said there was no gas in the build ing and only automatic equipment designed to step up the power of communications circuits was m side it. The PT&T said the equipment suffered only minor damage. By nightfall, the damage had been repaired and a temporary shack was erected to shelter the machinery.

Young once had been brought to trial on the charges assault and robbery while armed. But a jury reported on November 25, after two days of trial and seven hours of deliberation, that it could not decide whether- Young was a willing, scheming accomplice of Marshall Stevens in the $544 rob bery of the Low Cost Market in the Town and Country Shopping Center. At the lime of the trial, Richard C. Beesley, Young's court-appoint- ea attorney, maintained inai "Young was used by a man more clever than himself ... it was by ill fortune that he was mixed up in the thing." Beesley's contention was sup ported by Stevens, a veteran criminal who pleaded guilty to an armed robbery charge and was sentenced to life in the state peni tent iarv. District Attorney Arthur A. Bed doe, on whose motion the charge against Young was dismissed, said the motion for dismissal was made after "further investigation indi cated Young was an unwilling, unwitt ng accomplice. Thus the 38-year-old defendant was released Tuesday from the county jail where he had been held since July.

Red Bluff Sale Slated More than 1.200 head of cattle will be offered buyers at the Red Bluff Auction Yard, branch of the cooperative Valley Livestock Mar keting Association at its first sale scheduled for Tuesday, January 13. according to Ellington Peek, branch manager of the new mod ern plant. Peek said that he, Don Bailev, auctioneer and Vic Woolery, as sistant branch manager, were con tacting cattlemen throughout all of Northern California and were finding many producers interested in getting cattle into the first sale to be held at the new market. The new branch manager stated that construction would be suf ficiently completed by January 13 so that this many head of cat tle can be handled in concrete floored pens. He added that all the alley ways are concreted and that gates will be hydraulic as an aid to rapid operation. The sale ring, he said would hold a car load of cattle. Of the 369 seats in the sale pavilion, 150 are padded in a so- called buyers section. The entire facility, he added, which will have pens for 2,000 cattle and 2,000 sheep and hogs would be the most modern in upper California and the second largest in the state. Peek said that the plant had been largely financed by livestock producers operating in all North ern California counties and that much help in securing funds for its construction had been given by active committees in each.
