HKRALD AMI NKU'S, Klamath Kails. Or. PAGE 9 A Quarantine Station Requested SACRAMENTO (UPD The California Board of Agriculture has urged Congress to provide1 funds to build and maintain an animal quarantine station to serve the Pacific area. In a resolution adopted Mon day, the board said that althoughl the federal government hat an animal quarantine station at Clif ton, N. J., serving the Atlantic area, there are "no satisfactory federal quarantine facilities" on the West Coast. State Agriculture Department officials said that a "far greater number of animals have been im ponea into California by ocean vessel and airplane during the past 18 months than arrived on the Eastern Seaboard during the past five years. Officials said that for the first 11 months of this year. 78 million pounds of foreign cold storage meat were brought into Califor nia. They said over 76 million pounds originated in New Zealand and Australia. In addition, officials said, dur ing the past two years large shipments of livestock from New Zealand and Australia arrived iu California. Arthur G. Boyd, assistant di rector of agriculture, said that these shipments have brought about "new problems" in quaran tine and disease control. "Among these problems," Boyd said, "has been the finding that, after release from federal quaran tine, many sheep from Australia were found infected with foot rot and sheath rot. This placed the responsibility on the state of Cali fornia to prevent the movement of these sheep into other areas for feeding." Crews Sent To OK Plane WASHINGTON (UPD The Air Force sent two maintenance crews and a spare engine with President Eisenhower's luxurious jetliner to assure safe, smooth flights on his 23,000-mile good will tour. Two military C-130 "Hercules" turbo-prop cargo planes carrying the eight-man crews and the 6,-700-pound engine flew ahead of the President's craft. The C-130's "leap-frogged" each other so that one was on the ground waiting for Eisenhower's plane at each stop. When the President's VC-137A a special version of the civil ian Boeing 707 transport touch ed down in Asia, Africa and Eu rope, one of the maintenance crews went to work immediately servicing his plane. In some cases this was a hurry up job. For instance, the Chief Executive spent only five hours in Kabul, Afghanistan, and sched uled only a 5,4 hour stop in Morocco. Boy. , 9, Saved Woman, 82 SOUTH SAN GABRIEL, Calif. (UPD An 82-ycar-old woman saved a 9-ycar-old boy from being trampled Monday by a frightened horse. Mrs. Irma Manchester grabbed the dangling reins of the rearing horse and held on, preventing it from stamping on Charles Root Jr. The boy had been riding the horse and was thrown off when it was frightened by an auto.

Seemingly to the surprise of some unionists, industry negotia tors bowed quickly Monday to the demand of United Steelworkers President David J. McDonald for company . by - company negotia tions. This scrambled the bargaining picture. McDonald apparently hoped that by bringing the respon sible executives of every big and little steel firm into direct talks, he could crack the industry front which has held almost completely solid for eight months against the union's wage and benefits de mands. There was no immediate sign, however, that any of the smaller companies were ready to offer their local union leaders any more than the industry's top negotiating team has offered McDonald. Chessman Execution Set Feb. 19 By DONALD L. NEFF LOS ANGELES (UPD The wheels of justice turn slowly but inevitably, moving closer each day to the extinction of Caryl Chessman's life. For the eighth time in nearly ll'i years, the notorious convict- author was sentenced to death Monday during a brief court ses- sion carried on in the impersonal tones of justice. "It appears to the court that there is an unexecuted penalty of death in this case," said Superior Judge Herbert V. Walker. There was no rancor or sympathy in his voice. He was performing only one of the numerous duties of his office. , The court now fixes Feb. V3 I960, as the date for execution," he said. There was no emotion heard from the few spectators in the courtroom, no visible excitement most of them were waiting around for other cases. To Chessman, sitting in his cell in San Quentin's death row where he has been lodged since shortly after his conviction of 17 felonies May, 1948, the news had been ex pected. Thank you, he said simply when a guard told him the date. The ruggedly handsome Chess man, now 38, was busy preparing new appeals. Such appeals in the past have forestalled his other ex ecution dates, although none has yet earned him his hope of getting a new trial. The eighth execution date was set because the U. S. Supreme Court recently turned down his latest appeal. A jury found Chessman guilty in the spring of 1948 of being the "red light bandit." His conviction included two counts of kidnaping for purposes of robbing and sexually ravaging two young women, capital crimes in California. STRIPPED OF COSTUMES BRAWLEY, Calif. (UPD- Nightclub stripper Ann La Mont 24, told sheriff's deputies today she expected doing her act would be "kind of inconvenient" for a while. She said her costumes were stolen from her dressing room. Storm Windows ... Will Pay For Themselves!

TU 4-4321 Each company has its own con tract with the union, even though the bargaining up to now has been on an industry-wide basis. The continuing deadlock made it almost certain President Eisen hower, returning to the capital to night after his 11 nation peace mission, won't get the homecom ing present he requested when he left a signed and sealed steel agreement. Federal Mediation Director Jo seph F. Finnegan scheduled morn ing and afternoon meetings today between top union officials and fie industry's negotiating team. They met Monday for the first time in 10 days, but reported no progress. Finnegan said there probably will be more sessions as the week advances perhaps even next Sun day, w hile the dozens of home town negotiations are going on. On Sunday, representatives of the "Big 11" steel companies will hold separate meetings in Wash ington with their own union bar gaining committees, inese com panies arc the original dozen firms making up the Steel Industry Co ordinating Committee, less Kaiser Steel which pulled out and made a separate contract. Also next Sunday, but in many cities and mill towns, the other 82 firms which are parties to the dis pute will meet with their local union officials. On Monday, Eisenhower's fact finding panel headed by Dr George R. Taylor moves back in to the picture. It has called the parties into a public hearing here to discuss the situation and to ob tain the companies' "last offers on which the workers will vote next month under provisions of the Taft-Hartley law. Both wages and working condi tions are at issue. The companies have contended the wage increas es demanded by the union would spur inflation. The union, in turn, has rejected company demands for a freer hand in changing work rules to increase efficiency. The workers averaged $3.11 an hour when the strike started last July. An AFL-CIO official challenged Monday what he called "shame less scare propaganda and adver tising" by the steel industry that lower paid foreign workers would "do their U.S. counterparts out of jobs." The industry has contended that higher U. S. steel prices open the way for cheaper steel imports, and tend to cut foreign sales of the U.S. product. Albert Whitehouse, director of the AFL-CIO's Industrial Union Department, said Commerce De partment reports indicate that U.S. steel exports should increase from their 1958-59 recession lows once the effects of the strike are eliminated. He called that "an eloquent an swer to steel industry propagan da." Deputy Leaves For Prisoner Deputy Sheriff Delbert Summers left for South St. Paul, Minne sota, Sunday to return a prisoner wanted here on a bad check charge. Summers was to return James A. Wilson, who was accused of ob taming money and property by false pretenses involving an $8 check. Wilson was secretly indicted by the October grand jury. Sheriff Red Britlon said Sum mers' trip would require from eight to 10 days. For that Last Minute Gift Suggestion . . .

The Indian people have a right to be angry over Chinese incur sions across the nation's borders Nehru told the upper house of Parliament, but they would he better off translating their anger into building industrial and mili tary strength and national mo rale. The prime minister said inter national disputes such as the one India and China are engaged in now may be settled only through diplomacy or war but any Sino Indian conflict would be "an in definite war because we will nev er give in and they will never give in." Nehru Monday rejected Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai's sugges tion that the two men meet Sat urday to discuss the border dis pute. The suggestion came in a letter from Chou Dec. 18. The Indian prime minister said today that although the Chinese note reiterated past charges In dia considered untenable, it still contained "certainly a strong de sire to meet and discuss." "I welcome it," Nehru added When the time is suitable I will avail myself of the opportunity" of meeting with Chou.

She'll Really Love A PEARL NECKLACE From BEACHS JEWELERS In The Village Court 834 Main f ll Population Of Earth Will By BERNARD GAVZER AP Newsfcatures Writer Population explosion. These are the key words in an explosive political debate. To demographers the speci alists who make statistical stud ies of population the words de scribe simply a rapid and drama tic increase in the number of peo ple. There is no debate about the fact that there are now more peo ple than ever and that this num ber presently increasing at the rate of 90.000 a day will con tinue rising, barring transcenden tal catastrophe. This population explosion is il lustrated in the accompanying map. It is based on figures from Plagued By Kleptomania, Sergeant Admits Thefts OAKLAND, Calif. (UPD-Police smiled politely when Air Force M. Sgt. Harold L. Townsend said he had stolen an estimated $12,000 in merchandise from major de partment stores from here to Sac ramento. But he was so persistent, offi cers finally sent inspector Eric Gustavson to Townsend's home in Vacaville. An hour later Gustavson made a hurried call to headquarters: Reds Approve Pic's Theme HOLLYWOOD (UPD -Gregory Peck, who just returned from a Moscow trip, says Russians feel the same as Americans do about a motion picture showing atomic destruction of the world. There was no essential dif ference in their reactions to 'On The Beach' when it premiered there, Peck said. The picture shows the end of the world as the result of an atomic war. Peck travelled to Moscow for the. Dec. .17 premiere of the film in which he co-stars with Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire and Tony Perkins. 'The Russians I talked to said it was a serious film, that it was good it was made," he said. 'One Russian motion picture di rector told me, 'this counteracts some of the feeling I've had that Hollywood is only interested in films that have to do with gang sterism, violence and sex. We re spect it.' "The most surprising thing, and most gratifying, is that they did not quarrel with the message in the film." Peck said. They accepted it in the spirit in which it was made and didn't feel it was aimed at them any more than anybody else." ARCHBISHOP ARRIVES ISTANBUL, Turkey (UPD - Francis Cardinal Spellman, Ro man Catholic archbishop of New York, arrived Monday on his an nual Christmas visit to U. S. troops stationed abroad.

Inc., a private organization in Washington which provides popu lation facts and interpretations of those facts in relation to world problems. The I960 world population is es timated at 2. 920.000.000. Predic tions are that by 1973, this figure will reach 3.8BO.0OO.0OO and by the year 2.0O0, zoom to 6.280.0O0.OOO more than double the 1960 figure. There is growing concern that the population growth will outpace the earth's capacity to produce food. Population Reference Burtau di rector Robert C. Cook has warned : "Unless some acceptable way is found to curb the too-rapid popula- "Send another truck. Mine's not big enough." Gustavson had found 466 sepa rate items in Townsend's home including electric organs, chicken incubators, lamps, hi-fi sets, elec tric belt massagers, whirlpool bath pumps, movie cameras, tools, guns, clocks, typewriters, air con ditioners, vacuum cleaners, and swimming pool filters. A pickup truck, panel truck and finally a ten-toot trailer were needed to cart the merchandise back to the various stores from which it originated. Townsend, 42, married and the father of three children, said he had acquired the loot during the past 12 months. He said he used neither skill nor subterfuge in his shoplifting sprees. "It was easy. There was noth ing to it. Some of the items took a little effort to carry, but I had my station wagon outside." Townsend, who rccentiy was honored by a full dress parade at Travis Air Force Base for out standing work as a flight engi neer, said he often devoted an en tire day to shoplifting. I'm glad I got caught." he said. "I knew something terrible was wrong with me. But I couldn't stop stealing." His downfall came when he tried the same trick twice. On Dec. 12, Townsend phoned a store and asked a clerk to wrap up a 30-cahbcr rifle and place it by the cash register. He said he was in a hurry and would pick up the rifle in a few minutes. The store agreed and Townsend added an other item to his collection Last Friday he tried the same thing on another store. The store. alerted by the first victim, called police. When Townsend came to collect the merchandise, officers allowed him to walk out of the store, then arrested him on a charge of petty larceny. Mrs. Townsend told police her husband said he had good friends in each of the victimized stores and couldn't afford not to buy be cause of the "terrific discounts."

Overpopulation, Cook says could in the long run be as de structive to modern industrial so ciety as nuclear war. There are two opposing views about this problem: 1. The ultimate end of a grow ing world population can only be poverty, misery and destruction of mankind. 2. Science will show the world a way to feed, clothe, employ and take care of its inhabitants. The role of science is an im portant one because its ad vances in the field of preven tive medicine and drugs has contributed to the problem. For example, this is what happened in Ceylon as a result of a DDT ma laria control program, which be gan in 1947: In three years the mortality rate dropped 38 per cent, from 20 3 per l.ooo to 12.6. The 1943 population of 6,500.000 now has grown to more than 8,- 400.01)0. Ultimately, the approach to the problem of overpopulation leads to the question of birth control. And it is around this very ques tion with the pressures of wide ly divergent religious, social and political viewpoints that such furor has been raised. Here's the background to today's debate: Early this year, a U.N. Popula tion Commission took note of the rapid population growth 'and ex pressed concern over the social and economic consequences. Last July, the Draper Committee on Foreign Aid recommended to President Eisenhower that the U.S. help countries which ask for assistance "in formulatine programs designed to deal with the problem of rapid population growth." The Protestant World Council ot Churches, as well as other groups, has proposed that population growth be slowed through mass birth control measures. Late in November, the Roman Catholic bishops of the United States de nounced what they called a "sys tematic and concerted" campaign in lavor of birth control. The bishons said that "in a chronic condition where we have more people than food, the logical answer would be. not to decrease the number of people, but to in crease the supply of food." They added that Catholics will not "sup port any public assistance, cither at home or abroad, to promote ar tificial birth nreventinn." The bishops' statement brought reply from the Rioht Rev. James A. Pike. Protestant Enis copal bishon of California anrf cnairman of the C erevmen's Ma tional Advisory Committee of the 1'lanned Parenthood Federation of America. He said this stand bv the Cath olic Church would "condemn . . , millions of people ... to star vation, bondaze. miserv and rlns. pair."

The outstanding political figure in this catesory is Sen. John F. Kennedy, Massachusetts Demo crat, who is seeking the Demo cratic nomination for president. Asked what he would do if elect ed president and the question came before him in the form of legisla tion or a recommendation, Ken nedy replied "I would base my de termination as to whether I should approve such a law on my per sonal judgment as president as to what would he In the interest of the United Slates. If it becomes a law of the land, I would up hold it as the law of the land." He also said it would be a "mis take" for the U.S. to advocate birth control in other counties. President Eisenhower, before departing on a journey which will take him to some lands where population growth is considered rapid, told a news conference that birth control is not a proper field of action for the U.S. government.
