Willis Tompkins, near Sand Creek, said illegal hunters have been running deer with hounds and firing near his cattle. Dorothy Fuller of Stukel Mount a.n Road said people have been spotlighting rabbits and shooting around her cattle. Police are investigating both reports. j Ex-Officer Quizzing Set On Answers WASHINGTON (LPH House investigators today called former Navy Secretary Dan Kimball to quiz him on why 25 officials of the Aerojet General Coro. gave identically worded answers to a congressional questionnaire. Kimball is president of the Cat- iiornia firm, which did more than 162 million dollars worth of de fense work for the government last year. The executives involved are all retired high-ranking military of ficers and former government of ficials. They gave identical replies of more than 40 words to two key questions on the form. Kimball also was to be ques tioned about a "small, of! the rec ord party" which he and other defense industrialists planned but never gave for Lt. Gen. Bernard G. Schriever, Air Force research and development chief. Officials of the Martin Co., Bal timore, testified Thursday they had helped plan the event. They also said military men were flown to an exclusive country club in the Bahamas for weekend parties. The House armed forces sub committee, headed by Rep. F. Edward Hebcrt (D-La.), is inves tigating the hiring of retired mil itary officers by defense con tractors. Several weeks ago, the subcom mittee sent questionnaires to hun dreds of former officers and civil ian government officials now em ployed by defense companies. The replies from workers at Aerojet came back in two bound volumes. Twenty six employes of the lirm gave the same answer to two questions. Godfrey Tells Future Plans HONOLULU (UPD- A philo sophical and suntanned Arthur Godfrey said today his future plans would- depend upon the suc cess of his "comeback" TV show. The famed redhead,' who leaves here today for San Francisco, told United Press International all the Hawaiian shots for the new show had been completed. The show opens in September on CBS-TV. "This trip has been the best tonic in the world," he said. "I hate to leave, but we have some work to do at the farm in Virginia before the show will be ready for filming at the CBS studios." Stretched out on the lanai of the Kona Inn, Godfrey strummed borrowed ukelele and talked about his health. 'I feel very well," he said, meas uring his words carefully. "You know these things." he continued. taping his chest, "make you realize that you're not here for ever. Life on this planet is not as permanent as it seems." Yreka Lawyer Accepts Post YREKA Floyd Merrill, Yreka attorney, announced today he has accepted' an appointment in the district attorney's office in River side County. He and his wife, Marie, and daughter, Anita, will leave late this month for River side, where he will assume his new duties.

Bay City Leads New York In Suicides, Alcoholics By WARD CANNEL SAX FRANCISCO t.NEA) lp these cynical times when a re demption center is a place to swap trading stamps for toasters, it is invigorating to repair to San Fran cisco's holy air of civic pride. Why. they employ a whole staff here just to tally suicides. "We are practically tops in this field with 25 per 100.000 people." a vivacious statistician told me. "That's 18 higher than New York." It is also 15 higher than the rest of the nation, but that doesn't count. In fact, nothing seems to SCOUT NEWS WEED WEED Boy Scouts from Weed are packing their camping gear for a campout at Lake Britton near Burney, August 28-29, and will take a "hobo" ride to the lake for the overnight stay. The local scouts will join other scouts from southern Siskiyou and board railroad flat cars at the McCloud River Railroad Depot Friday morning at 8 o'clock Au gust 28, for the trip to the "round up funoree." The campout has been planned by the Shasta Silver Tip District scouters to end the summer program of "Fun Round up" and to interest new boys in the scouting program. Each scout attending may invite a prospec tive member to the campout. Fathers are especially encouraged to attend and participate with their sons in this special outing. Scouts are to bring tents and sleeping bags and other necessary camping gear, swim suits and fish ing poles, if desired. Patrols will be responsible for their own meals for Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast and lunch. Each boy is to take a sack lunch for Friday noon. A doctor will give each scout and guest a checkup before board ing the train. One requirement is a permit slip with parents' signa ture to authorize swimming dur ing the two-day roundup. The slips are available from local scout masters. Transportation for the return trip will be furnished by parents of the scouts and scheduled time of departure from Lake Britton is set between 3 and S o'clock Sat urday afternoon. Local scout leaders are plan ning transportation to McCloud rriday morning, and other ar rangement details for the Weed scouts. FINANCE CAMPAIGN WEED The Boy Scout finance campaign will open in Weed Sep tember 10, and, with the other com munities in the Southern Siskiyou Districts, will coincide -with the Northern District drive the first part of next month. Yreka will open its campaign September 15. Henry Reents, Weed, and Bob Carlson, Yreka. are the finance chairmen for the two districts. Siskiyou County's "fair share" of the 548,000 council budget is $11,000. Of the money raised last year in this county, 93 per cent re mained to help the 1,175 scouts here. The rest was used for the scout camp at Lake of the Woods and for materials needed in the districts. Local "organizations use Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting and Ex ploring to fit the needs of the community and are assisted by the local scout council. The coun cil promotes, supervises, and ad ministers the educational and rec reational program of the Boy Scouts of America for character development, citizenship training and physical fitness. The Crater Lake Council re ceivcs its operating funds only from United Funds and independ eni scoui campaigns. Bovs oav their own way in local scout units or by approved money-earning projects. The national organization receives its funds mainly through individual registration lees. Money from the campaign will be used in organizing new scout units, maintaining the old: oper- ating and maintaining Camp Mc Loughlm for Boy Scouts and Ex plorers; training adult and boy leaders; promoting camporees: field meets, circuses, rallies and other special activities. Assistance with Board of Re view and Courts of Honor; pro viding program literature and helps:' operating a "service sta tion" for adequate local records and supplies of badges, literature etc: and employing four profes sional men. one of whom lives in and is assigned to our county to correlate and guide the work and training of more than 1.500 adult volunteer leaders. VALLEY PUmP AND EQUIPMENT COMPANY , COMPLETE PUMPING SERVICE ALL MAKES REPAIRED Call TU 4-977 217S So. 6th St. count in San Francisco unless it is bigger, higher, cleaner, broad er or more than New York. In this competition, San Fran cisco also leads New York 'and most of the country) m climate, alcoholism, weather and violent crimes. "There is an interesting correla tion between violence and weath er," Dr. Frederick Boyes ex plained. He is the city's chief of the Adult Guidance Center the old-fashioned kind of redemption center. More suicides occur in Decem ber and October our most beauti ful months. They seldom happen on bad. foggy, gloomy, rainy days. It leads to an interesting speculation: "People who feel depressed and inadequate seem to be equalized by bad weather that depresses al most everyone. The beautiful days we have in San Francisco, howev er, make the contrast much more noticeable." Now, it is a very difficult thing to change the suicide rate, even if you wanted to. Most of these folks, Dr. Boyes says, have lost their identities in the trance state of our society and will not ask for help. But the city is taking great steps to hold the line on other violence Mayor George Christopher assured me that his Operation S (for Saturation of dangerous areas with police) is doing wonders. The plan calls for on-the-spot quest ioning of people who are on the streets at late or unusual hours without any visible or lawful busi ness. UI course no plan is perfect, as any San Franciscan will admit. And so 80 per cent of the vagran cy cases about 1,800 per year- are dismissed as unfounded. This leaves 1,800 people with criminal records each year," said Ernest Besig, executive director of San Francisco's Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. There is only one thing to call it: lawless enforcement of the law. And I don't see any evidence that the violence in the city has dimin ished. 'In fact, we have complained about the police beating people in streets. But we are told from offi cial quarters that it did not hap pen. I saw it happen once and was later told by officials that it did not happen." Well, it is not surprising. As Dr Boyes puts it: "A society is like a plastic bag of water. Push it here and it has to expand there. There are an aw ful lot of pressures pushing it." Especially in San Francisco, the sociologists say. To begin with, the prices. Take men's furnishings, for example: a mattress ticking jacket costs 512.50; a suede poncho, $15; white leather slacks, $85; a combination fish knife and linoleum cutter, $4.95. There is also the exorbitant im age of the city: land of promise; last frontier; new start; Shangri- La. Most of the people who do come for help," Dr. Boyes said "have lived here for 20 years and have been troubled for half that time." By simple arithmetic it appears that 10 years is the average toler ance for Paradise. Plea Of Guilty Given In Case WEED James Benda, 21, Yreka waived jury trial slated in the Weed Justice Court Wednesday and entered a plea of guilty. He was sentenced by Judge Kenneth T. Stone to pay a fine of $105. Benda was charged by Califor nia Highway Patrol with driving the wrong side of the road and having faulty brakes.

Club Ponders Swim Pool MONTAGUE Interested resi dents discussed Montague's pro posed swimming pool project at the meeting of the Shasta Valley Community Club Tuesday. General agreement was that Montague needs a swimming pool, but because of a lack of definite cost figures, the club delayed tak ing action until more detailed in formation is on hand. Bob Akin, chairman of the swim ming pool committee, stated he had contacted a Medford firm, re questing data, but had not yet re ceived a reply. Mrs. Betty Cooley announced she had written to Sacramento request ing information relative to setting up a recreation district, but had not received the information at the time of the meeting. Site for the proposed pool is the old Montague Grammar School, in cluding a full city block in grounds. Future plans are to refurbish the old school building for a recrea tion hall. Charge Names Former Star LOS ANGELES (UPD Scotty Beckett. 29, trouble-plagued for mer child star of "Our Gang" movies and other films, was ar rested early today on suspicion of possessing narcotics. Beckett, now a car salesman. had four benzedrine tablets in his coat pocket, according to the ar resting officer, CD. Kilgo. Beck ett's companion, Brian Van Win kle, 20, also was arrested on the same charge when officers found what looked like hypodermic nee dle marks in his arm. Kilgo said Beckett was driving his car erratically down the street. The officer said he stopped the car to see if the driver had been drinking. Both men were booked on the felony charge. They both insisted they were innocent. Beckett hasn't been able to find acting jobs in recent years and has had a number of run-ins with police. Beckett was arrested Feb. 11, 1957, on suspicion of taking dan gerous drugs across the U.S. Mexico border, and last Sept. 20 he was rushed to Central Receiv ing Hospital in a coma which doc tors said apparently was caused by narcotics or sleeping pills. He was fined $250 and sentenced to 30 days in county jail May 20 for drunk driving and driving with a revoked license.

Officer Confiscates Poems Degrading Bay Area Police SAN FRANCISCO (AP) "What do they think a police officer is. robot?" demanded policeman William C, Bigarani, who wears badge No. 67 and patrols San Francisco's North Beach area. He referred to sandaled and goateed poets Bob Kaufman and Bill Margolis and their poems which had been pasted in the window of a gathering place for beatniks. Bigarani stomped in about 2 a.m. Wednesday and ripped down two poems. One, by Kaufman, ran: "One day Adolph Hitler had nothing to do All the Jews were burned, the artists all destroyed Adolph Hitler was very bored. even with Eva. So he moved to San Francisco, became an ordi nary policeman, devoted himself to stamping out beatniks." The one by Margolis referred to police "with their numbered hypocrisies huge and sixty-seven iBigarani s badge number) on their faces marks of the beast." Indignant Bigarani declared: 'These poems if you could call mem tnat vuitied not only me but the entire police department and that's why I confiscated them."

Airman Sues Railroad Firm SAN FRANCISCO (AP) An airman who conceded he was tres passing sued the Southern Pacific Railroad Thursday for $200,000 for loss of a leg under a freight car in a Reno, Nev. freight yard. Airman 2.C. Nathaniel Wood ruff, 22. now at Travis Air Force Base, filed the suit in U.S. District Court. He- said he fell asleep under a box car and his leg was run over when the car was switched.

"This looks like a clear viola tion of freedom of speech," said Al Bendich of the American Civil Liberties Union, who attended the conference. Attorney Lawrence Speiser ad vised the free spirits to plaster the North Beach area with their poetry. They fanned out to do that. Ihey met resistance at one beatnik spot.

' Bigarani viewed the pasted poe try glumly but said he would take no further action without instruc tions from his superior, Capt Charles Borland, Borland backed Bigarani. "A police officer has a duty to con fiscate material offensive to the public," Borland asserted. "If nothing is done (about the poems in the window) we will have to take legal action to abate that place as a public nuisance." Speiser retorted, "If nothing is done about officer Bigarani we will have to take legal action The poems were still up today.

EVERYONE WELCOME Candlestick Work Slowed By Strike SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - Strik. ing teamsters promised today there would be no further inter ference with movement of supplies for the Giants' new Candlestick Park and other vital city projects. A pledge to end wildcat picket ing came on the eve of a mass meeting of Teamsters Local 85 in Civic Auditorium aimed at cool ing the rebellion of rank and file members. Meanwhile, San Francisco and San Mateo economies increasing ly felt the squeeze of the 8-day-old strike by about 5,000 truck drivers. An undetermined number of workers in affected industries was being laid off. Henry Montano, a picket cap tain and spokesman for rank and file members, announced the green light for shipments of con crete seat-support slabs for the Giants' stadium. Steel for the San Francisco Hall of Justice, Civic Center underground garage, and other big projects also will be per mitted to go through, he said. Montano said business firms not affected by the strike and on an "exempt" list will be given clear ance to move their trucks without interference. He said pickets will not stop trucks hauling food, perishables, flowers, government goods or oth er vital commodities. The union member said rank and filers will insist at Saturday's meeting that Local 85 leaders ne gotiate a one-year contract with the trucking employers. The union had been offered $10 weekly raises each year under a proposed three-year contract. Har old Lopez, business manager of Local 85,' recommended accept ance, but the men shouted it down. Unauthorized picketing washalt- ed Thursday when Local 85 busi ness agent Phil Dindia, backed by police officials, showed copies of a court injunction to pickets at the Bay Bridge truck deck exit. Kenneth Peddicord, 20, a Los Gatos truck driver, was arrested Thursday when he allegedly waved a gun at five teamsters after a minor collision between his truck and their car.
