Defendant Takes Stand
In Cattle Rustling Trial
The cattle rustling trial of Eldon
R. 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. Wilson, a rancher with
whom he is jointly accused of

76 Tasters
Smack Lips
In Vine Test
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -What
happens when 76 wine tast
ers get together? 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.'
Dr. Marsh,; asked ;why-. he par
ticipates, -shrugged -and replied r '
"Darned if I know, I just like
it. 1 , - r. r:.-.rv: .. t
Dr.- Maynard -Amerine, " chair-

Kt.VIS DKMKS MARRIAGE
NEW YORK UPH-P(c. 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,"

Bill-Writing
Pace To Slow
By PAUL W. 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.
While the presiding officers of
both houses, have! been congratu
lating.; themseiws' on- the;rapid
progress of this LegisfatureT there
still is a good chance that it might
De a long, . long session
It is true that the committees
are getting to work earlier than
usual. 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's budget rec
ommendations, which he promis
es in a week or, 10 days. -
The 'Huse'. Taxatlibr vCommittee
expects to act of) ex-SoV: ' Robert
D. Holmes' . tax- program in ;the
next week or)lt)';days.. .The. hiain
feature of this program, designed
to. provide 13.5 million dollars of
revenue to sustain Holmes 299-
million dollar budget, is to elim
inate installment paying of per
sonal income taxes.
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.
As to the second biescst prob
lemboosting the size of the un
employment-, trust, uod-r-the Sen
ate Labor and Jndustrles Com
mittee will introduce next' week
the bills to carry out the propos
als of the Advisory Council f to
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission.
These recommendations call for
higher payroll taxes on employ.
ers, coverage of employers with
only one employe, tightening up
on qualifications for benefits, and
replacing the three-member com
mission with a single director.
This subject will bring about a
clash between employers and la
bor. , Employers do not want the
higher taxes, and they propose
that disqualifications for' benefits
be made evert tougher than pro
posed ty the Advisory Council
Labor approves 1 the advisory
council plan but it also wants to
abolish the one-week waiting pe
riod for- benefits.'

its occupation troops from East

"I am not particularly optimis
tic about Russia's making any
agreements in this field. But it is
time we made the Soviets take
the responsibility for failing to
agree instead of just saying 'no'
everytime they propose some
thing."
Fulbright emphasized he would
not support a withdrawal of U.S.
troops unless there was an ac
ceptable agreement on Berlin.

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.

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

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

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.

A Long Time
the first time tn 10 yean. 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. Former missionary service in
Guatemala and Puerto Rico finds
them trained in Spanish.
Yoder hopes to take back a one-
man saw mill of which he has
read. This could be transported to
the logs in the jungle since logs
are too heavy to carry out, but
lumber could be. Fortunately, he
has had experience in carpenter
ing. He s really learned how t
stretch the cement, he declared,
because of the terrific cost of se
curing it by air. Adobe blocks, lat
er stuccoed, provide good build
ings.
Completing the family circle il
lively, eager David, nearly five,
who is a native of Puerto Rico and
adopted by the Yoders. His moth
er will teach him a correspond
ence course at home. Like any
normal 5-year-old, David found all
the chores at Century Ranch a
great deal of fun, from having his
Uncle John show him how to steer
the tractor to helping his cousin
Wanda feed the bummer lambs.
