HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls, Or. Thursday. Julv 30. 1959 PACE 7 A l TMt CAS THE UNKNOWN BLONDE By Donald J. Sebel "Pinky Kempton's story about a blonde in a plaid skirt and tight tray sweater is pretty weak." said Inspector Winters. "But unless we break it, we'll never tind the gang who tried to hold up the National City Bank yesterday." "You're convinced Kemplon is in volved?" asked Haledjian. "He's been used as a lookout before," replied the ' inspector. "About the time of the holdup, two police officers noticed him loiter ing on the corner half a block (rom the bank. "The way it figures is this, continued the inspector. "When things suddenly went wrong in the bank, the three masked bandits sprinted for their car. They didn't have time to haul in Kemplon, so they left him on the corner. "We picked him up this morning (or questioning. He says he was out walking and had stopped to Walch a blonde whom nobody else on the block remembers seeing, i "This mysterious blonde, accord ing to Kempton, was strolling on (he opposite side of the street looking over her left shoulder and primping herself in the reflection 01 the store windows. ; "When she got to the Beford Shoe Store window, she stopped and slowly did an about face Watching her window image, she adjusted her skirt lipper .' and amoothened her sweVer at the waist. She opened her purse,' but noticing Kempton staring at her hastened down the street. As she turned the corner Kempton says three masked men dashed out of the bank and into a waiting sedan. He didn't get the li cense plate number, of course." Haledjian pursed his lips thoughtfully, "Kempton's story has one slight flaw, inspector. Confront him with it, and he may break down." What was the flaw?

Sobol) Republicans, Democrats Feud Over Significance Of Hawaiian Victories WASHINGTON (AP) - Unex-, pected victories in Hawaii's voting bouyed Republican hopes today that their party may be on the comeback trail. 1 Although Democrats disputed the interpretation, the . GOP na tional chairman, Sen. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky, said the re sults point to Republican victories elsewhere in 1960. His party elect ed a governor, lieutenant gover nor, a United States senator and majority of state senators. Morton said the results in Ha waii demonstrated that hard work, significant support from labor and the voters response to good gov ernment" will put the Republicans back in business in next year's presidential and congressional elections. However, Senate Majority Lead er Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas emphasized that Democrats had taken two of the three seats at stake in Congress. These included1 one senator and the lone House member. Democrats also held on to control of the state House of Representatives. - Johnson said it was not surpris ing that the Republican appoint ive governor, William F. Qulnn, had defeated Democrat John A. Burns, who has been Hawaii's nonvoting delegate in Congress Johnson said Quinn "had plenty Frost Nips At Wagon Train LA GRANDE, Ore.

He promised a rousing welcome in Congress for Democrats Oren E. Long, elected to the "Senate, and Daniel K, Inouye, who won the House seat. Hiram L. Fong was the Repub lican elected to the Senate. He and Long will determine by draw ings later the length of the terms they will serve. Pointing out that Democrats have won every territorial elec tion ' since 1954, Republicans said the balloting demonstrated a re versal in the trend that may mark the beginning of a GOP revival in state and congressional elec tions. Senate Republican Leader Ev erett M. Dirksen of Illinois called the election a party outcome for his party. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel of Cali fornia, the assistant GOP leader said the results show "that the people of our newest state have faith in the determination of the Republican' party to serve and promote the interests of all of our people, not just segments or fac tions." Sen. Kenneth B. Keating R-NY) said the returns show the Repub licans definitely are "on the come back trail." Although the GOP lost the House seat, Rep. Richard M. Simpson R-Pa), chairman ot the Republi can Congressional Committee, said the election "shows a pow erful resurgence of political senti ment for the Republican party a trend which could well hit flood- tide by the time the I960 election Tavern May Be Suspended DORRIS Woodie Wilson, owner of the 40 Club in Dorris, relieved recently of pinball payoff charges brought by the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Department, was less for tunate in a round with the Califor nia Department of Alcoholic Bev erage.

About three-fourths of all lam ilies held some liquid assets meaning checking and savings accounts in banks, shares in sav ings and loan associations or cred it unions, and savings bonds when the survey was made ear ly this year. About 40 per cent of all tarn- ilies had liquid assets of $500 or more. About 40 per cent of all fam ilies reported an increase in in come from 1957 to 1958. while 22 per cent reported a decline.

This was more than offset by increases in other types of credit The board said that the reces sion caused more than 74 million families to lose the income of their breadwinners for at least part of the year. i 4l"-- : m lama The first oi! wells in the United States were drilled at Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859.
