Shafer will be resumed in cir cuit court Monday with high ex-, pectations of reaching the jury that day. Shafer, 35-year-old Fort Klam ath stock handler and ranch hand. testified in his own defense through most of Friday afternoon s ses sion. He was the 15th witness for the defense in the involved trial. Shafer testified that he had worked for a year-and-a-half for Paul R.

Why, they try to get mto the spirit of the thing. The tasters, 75 men and a wom an, were tested Friday as poten tial judges for the State Fair Twenty will be selected. They began at 9:30 a.m. by iden tifying varieties of white table wine. Eight hours later they were still straight-legged and clear-eyed as they evaluated the relative qualities of five brandies. Do tasters ever overdo it? Dr. George L. Marsh, of the De partment of Food Technology at the University of California, has been a wine judge since 1935. "I've never seen a taster drunk at the job," he said, "but wait until the testing is over. When we relax?. anything; can. happen,-". The- Ipne.womanis.venford Plainfield of Alameda, was shocked at the thought. "Everyone- is my family has been a wine drinker all my life and I've never scon any of them drunk. Actually, Ihe tasters never swal low the wine when working. The Masters came from all over the state to match palates. Dr: Salvatore Lucia, head of the Department of Preventative Medicine-at the University of Califor nia, said "It's all a matter of taste.) Just like with girls. Some like blondes, some like redheads.'

Elvis Presley Friday denied he was con sidering marriage to his teen-age German girl friend. "I wouldn't marry any one anywhere." the rock 'n roll singer said; Presley told radio station WHHM here via transatlantic phone from Germany that "there's -nothing to it but a lot of publicity." from Chiloquin rancher Loreru G. VanderKamp.. Under direct examination by De fense Attorney Glenn D. Ramirez, Shafer described roundup opera tions while looking for stray cat tle belonging to Wilson and Wil son's sister, Myra Dick. He said the search had taken him and Wil son to the Klamath Marsh, but under Ramirez questioning, Sha fer made these statements: Ramirez "Did you ever lake or carry away a white-faced cow be longing to Lorenz G. VanderKamp with Ihe V-K connected (brand) on it?" Shafer "No." Ramirez "Between April 18 and May 12, 1958. did you ever come in contact with a white-faced cow with the V-K connected?" Shafer "No." Ramirez "Have you ever claimed to own a cow with the V-K brand on It?" Shafer "No." Ramirez "Do you know where you were on April 16. 1958?" At this Ramirez led Shafer, with the help of the defendant's notes, through a detailed accounting of Shafer's activities each day from April 18 through May 14. These included trips, to Portland and Rainier, Oregon, and a week of plowing farmland near Modoc Point. Shafer said he suggested pastur ing Wilson's cattle on the Rainier ranch of his sister, Mrs. Vivian Burns, because the pasture was good for the cattle and his sister could use income from the ven ture. He said he and Wilson took 13 head of cattle, eight cows and five calves, in two trucks to Rain ier about June 13. j. It . was , from . the Burns ranch that- ' state -' livestock inspectors seized 13' head ' of -cattle and re moved nine to Klamath County on charges they had been stolen. District Attorney Arthur A. Bed doe wrought from Shafer the ad mission that Mrs. Burns had not been paid for accommodating the cattle in her feed lot and had brought a lien against four cattle to pay for her services. ''She didn't have to get a lien on them," Shafer objected. Did you ever pay her? Bed- doe demanded. . "No,"' Shafer replied. At the conclusion of the direct examination by' Ramirez, Shafer said he had heard Beddoe remark in a courthouse hall, after the first trial of Shafer- and Wilson had . been .! declared- a ' mistrial, "Well, you don't need to feel, so smart. We'll get you one way or another." Beddoe reminded Shafer that the circuit court charge the defend ants faced at that time had been dismissed only because the moth- ering-up process which the state used to show ownership had been ruled unacceptable. 1 Upon Shafer s intimation that several cases against him and Wil son had been dismissed, Beddoe virtually thundered that only the mistrial -- naa Deen dismissed in tcircjjit . court for : the reasons he He said one of three charges ll-Lunc. riUmicctwt m district court hecause rancher Milton Sessler had refused ' to acknowledge ownership ol a cow named m the case. And who was the complaining witness?" Beddoe insisted, "Milton Sessler," Shafer said. The present trial resulted .; from one of those two charges, and more trials are scheduled. Prior to Shafer's testimony, the 14th defense witness was Boyd Jackson Jr. of Klamath Agency, a siock tender. . Jackson explained agency pro cedures for rounding up stray cat tle and provided the jury with in teresting asides on experiences he hnft known .in hit inh . - Kamlres persuaded Jackson to draw. his impression of the brand on the black, white-faced cow upon which the case is centered. Jack son hesitated, but complied. Beddoe launched into the draw ing in an attempt to prove its dissimilarity with the SM Bar brand, which Jackson said the blotched mark "could" represent. After criticism of his art, Jack son reaffirmed that he wasn t much of an artist. 'You don't actually know too much about that brand, do you?" beddoe asked. "I know one thing, Mr. Beddoe.' Jackson parried. "I know I made a mistake' trying to draw it," . Qjx The .

HARVEY JR. SALEM (API-Threatened with deluge of bills, the Oregon Legislature will begin next Thurs days put a damper on bill intro duction. After that day the 25th day of the Session bills cannot be intro duced in the House without per mission of its Rules Committee. But House members have- a big loophole in- (hat the Rules- Com mittee always permits - introduc tion of bills after that date if the sponsors asked - the Legislative Counsel , to -draft them; before the deadline. The Senate has a similar rule that applies after the 35th day. Both rules have existed for a long time!. Already, 523 bills have been in troduced, compared with 407 at the j same time two years ago. The1 total number of bills consid ered by the 1957 Legislature was 1.336, largest number in history There is no reason to doubt that this; record will be equalled or exceeded.

But it is also true that a great many problems lie ahead. This week, the Legislature got rid of one by appropriating funds for the Centennial. So far, only 10 bills have been passed by both houses. The Joint Ways and Means Committee already is sending some of the appropriation bills to the floor. But it is waiting to hear Gov.

Hatfield said he will recom mend a budget larger than that. So he will have to come up with some ideas for additional reve nue.- And that might put him at odds with the Democrats, who control both houses.

Would Take For Kin To 'Catch Up' By HELEN PARKS FORT ROCK It would take a long time for Mrs. John Pettus of the Christmas Lake area, and her sister.

' It was a happy family gather- ning in Salem this past Christmas when they were all togetner lor Salary Scale For Teachers Not Changed Maintenance of the existing scale for Klamath Falls teachers' salaries in 1959-60 was voted at Friday night's joint meeting of the budget committees of School Dis trict 1 and School District 2. The resolution, which is only of an "advisory" nature to the two budget committees, which take ac tion separately, was proposed "re luctantly" by Dr. James Noel, a member of the District 1 (high school) board. Dr. Noel explained that the in crement in teachers' salaries al ready called for under the exist ing scale, plus expenses required to meet an anticipated enrollment increase of 175, plus the increase of staff necessary to strengthen the school s programs in . bnglish. languages and science, are ex pected to necessitate an increase in the district's budget of $36,000 for 1959-60. To this, he said, must be added $10,000 to meet new so cial security and requirement ob ligations. "All of these increases," Dr. Noel said, "do not include any physical improvements. At the opening of the meeting, Chairman ' J. C. Renie had de clared "dead for lack of a mo tion" the proposed salary struc ture for 1959-60 submitted for rep resentatives of the Classroom Teachers on January-19. This was followed by some discussion of possible solutions embodying some of the teachers' requests, particu larly institution of a $200 incre ment for each year's experience during the first four years, rath er than $100. It was Dr. Noel s motion that ended this part of the discussion. Quick-Trigger Atom Devices Hinted By AEC WASHINGTON (AP) - The Atomic Energy Commission hint ed Saturday it is developing quick-er-on-the-trigger weapons that ap parently need extra safety tests. In its 25th semiannual report to Congress, the AEC indirectly re ported it still is stressing research and development on such objec tives as "smaller, immediately that is, ready within minutes and more rugged weapons, for use in more advanced weapons sys tems." . It also reported it still is trying to develop nuclear weapons of greatly reduced radioactive fall out in a variety of sizes. Presumably referring chiefly to the "ready-within-minutes" type of weapon, the AEC said that dur ing last fall's tests at the Nevada Proving Grounds: "Eighteen safety tests were con ducted...to determine whether pro jected weapons would be nuclear ly safe for handling and storage." Nuclcarly safe" means safe from the possibility of a nuclear explosion, as distinguished from a detonation of conventional explo sives which also are contained in some types of nuclear weapons. The report does not say how the tests came out. The AEC said a year ago that "the possibility of an accidental nuclear explosion while transport ing or storing nuclear weapons is so remote as to be negligible." But the wording of the current report about safety tests appeared to indicate that newly envisioned weapons have special sensitivities requiring intensive safety testing. Up until six months ago at least, weapon design and safety require ments have resulted in only par tial assembly of weapons. The es sential triggering devices needed to set off the fission of fusion re action have been left out of the assembly until the time ap proached for the use of the weapon.

And the visit here recently found the Yoders en route to Salem from speaking engagements in Idaho. Missionaries home on furlough spend most of their time reporting to the churches and encouraging them to support overseas missions in a sacrificial way. Telling of their family life as well as their work gives the family a better picture of the years between visits, too. Whether it is an account ol finding poisonous bushmastcr snakes in the bathroom or the description of slides depicting ad vances made in the mission church, interest is high. Yoder has been serving as dis trict superintendent of the Pilgrim Holiness Church's mission work in British Guiana. First Georgetown, then at Paramakotoi, they spent four years there. Mrs. Yoder was in charge of the government-supported school, with 120 pupils in in the eight grades. There are around 400 people in and near the town of Paramakatoi, reached only by air. Children begin school at five years and classes include sewing, Indian craus (which the govern ment encourages preserving), Bi ble study and farming. The lat ter provides a means of raising vegetables for the school, sinca the noon meal is served to the children and for some is the only meal of the day. After eight years of mission work, Mrs. Yoder pointed out that the people there are very well civilized and highly developed. "They are eager to learn, they sing beautifully and have a won derful sense of humor," she stated. Before missionaries came the men wore nothing, the women had aprons made of beadwork. Now they wear used suits, dresses and work clothing provided by church es in America. No attempt is mads . to supply them with shoes in this manner but some clothing items are for sale in their store. To earn the worn, but good clothing supplied them, the Indian people carry the missionaries' supplies the 12 miles from the landing strip to their town. Single motored planes may land a 45 minute hike away. While in the U.S., Yoder is tak ing pilot training to enable them to have transportation when they return. Their work then will he further in the interior, in Brazil. They, as yet, don't even have an address for their new location as these Indians are still primitive no tools, no houses, no written language. The first trips to this area will be by boat, before an airstrip is cleared. They will be situated on the upper reaches of the Rio Bran co River, a tributary of the great Amazon. Sign language will be the early means of communication, until the native dialects are learned. The Yoders, however, don't feel that it will be too much of a problem since the official language of Bra zil is Portuguese, similar to Span ish.
