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

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

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

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

covered and in the peak of condi

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

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

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

Rob Charges
Dismissed
Armed robbery charges against
Willie Young, accused of partici
pating in a daring supermarket
holdup last July, were dismissed
in circuit court Tuesday.
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.
Please use names of committee
members in your county if desired.
