Thursday, Dec 24. 1959 Teacher Admits Challenge In KUHS Post-Game Battle Further investigation of a teacher-student tight at Kt'IlS on Fri day, December 18, revealed that Hoy A. Tidwell, the teacher, ad mitted to Principal Willard McKin ny by telephone that he had chal lenged the student, Jerry Seutter, 17, to fiyht. McKinny told Juvenile Officer Ray Howard that Tidwell called him alter the fight and said he challenged Seutter because he thought that it would belittle Seut ter in front of his friends and would make Seutter shut up. In a statement issued this morn ing, Seutter said he was not aware that it was a teacher when he made a threat, saying, "Get your hands off me or I'll hit you in the tcelh." Sculler said he was watching a In The- Day's km (Continued from Page 1) get its start? It is generally at tributed to Thomas Nasi and his famous drawing "Sanla Claus and His Works," which appeared as a Christmas picture in Harper's Weekly in 18K6. Whence came the reindeer? That legend is supposed to have origi nated among Scandinavian settlors in America. Cartoonist Nast includ ed the reindeer, the pack of loys and the stockings hung at the fire place in his picture. That brings us down to Christ mas Eve of the year 1!)59 which, oddly enough, is a Christmas Kve with about as little SHOOTING WAR throughout the world as man kind has seen in many a century.

The trio passed under the sha dow of the mountains of Kurdis tan and down the Fertile Cres cent through Damas to Jerusalem, where they met King Herod and, unwittingly, touched off the slaugh ter of the. innocents, HOW LONG DID the journey take? Again Matthew is silent on the hard facts. But tradition has set the time at about two years, during which travelers' sup plies were miraculously replen ished. The basis of this addition to the Nativity story lies in Mat thew's report that Herod, fearing for his cruwn as king of the Jews ordered Hie death of every child In Bethlehem 2 years of age and Under. Herod must have been told the star had appeared some two years before tlte wise men ar rived in Jerusalem. The wise men disappear from the Gospel after the Nativity, but tradition has followed, them tor the remainder of their lives. It is said that they went India where, many years later, they were baptized hy the Apostle Thomas, became India's first bish ops of the Christian Church and were martyred together for their faith.

The student said he issued I he i. threat, then looked around, saw that it was Tidwell and let him through. According to Seutter, Tidwell broke up the fight and then re turned and asked him if he want ed to make good his threat. Seutter stated that he declined, saying he was sorry. "Tidwell then started saying 'all mouth, no guts' to me about seven times, and 1 told him four or five times that 1 didn't want to fight. Finally, 1 had enough and I said 'Id's go,' " Seutter said. He reported that Tidwell then took him by the arm about 50 feet lo the back of the school where he challenged the student to hit him. Seutter admitted that he threw the first blow in the fracas. In his statement to the juvenile ollicer, Tidwell reported that he told Seutter after the fight that he wouldn't sign a complaint against the student, but would get him .some time some way or an other. Tidwell said that following the fight he went to his car parked on MonClaire Street where he staunched the flow of blood from his nose. He toid officer Howard that he saw Arnold Gralapp, school superintendent, approaching and he started Ins car and drove away from the scene, going lo the Amer ican Legion Club where he works as a bartender in his off-hours.

Auto Skids On Slick Ice A small foreign car skidded on ice and plunged into an irriga tion canal near Worden early to day, state police reported. Police said occupants of the USVV Heads Into Court; Asks4-Ce.it Hourly Boost PITTSBURGH (AP)-The Unit ed Sleelworkers Union went into court today with a claim its mem bers in the basic steel industry are entitled to a four-cent hourly cost-of-living pay increase. Union attorneys filed a petition in U.S. District Court asking that the pay increment become effec tive Jan.. 1. At the same time the union re quested that benefits under any new contract finally negotiated be made retroactive to Nov. 7. That's when 500,000 sleelworkers ended a 116-day strike and returned to work under a Taft Hartley Act injunction. The 80-day injunction, issued by U.S. District Court Judge Herbert Employe Files Damage Suit A former employe of Your Store has brought suit in circuit court seeking $3,000 damages as a result of a fall in the store two years ago.

Refreshments will be served. and Jim Hope. f V f- j . & JiW "'IS P. Sorg, specified that work was to be resumed "under the terms and conditions of all agreements in effect last June 30." The old contracts with steel companies contained provisions for a cost-of-living pay adjustment Jan. 1 based on the Labor De partment's consumer price index for November. The union contended that the cost-of-living clauses remain ir effect during the injunction peri od, and steelvvorkcrs should get a four - cent raise based on the higher price index. Judge John L, Miller signed an order setting a hearing fot Jan. 4 at 10 a.m. before Judge Sorg. The steel industry has disputed the union contentions about cost of-living and retroactivity. When Judge Herbert P. Sorg issued the Taft-Hartley injunction here last October, he reserved decision on both these matters. Union and industry negotiators met with federal mediators in Washington Wednesday in a con tinuation of attempts to reach agreement on a new contract. Mediators reported no progress and recessed the talks to Sunday when company-by-company talks are slated to get under way throughout the nation. Federal officials briefed Presi dent Eisenhower Wednesday on steel developments during his 19 day goodwill overseas tour. The White House made no an nouncement whether the President plans any further action to break the steel stalemate. The 80-day Taft-Hartley period expires Jan. 26. If no new con tract is agreed upon by that time, the union would be free to strike again. Under the Taft-Hartley Act, the National Labor Relations Board is required to conduct a secret vote among union members on man agement's latest proposal. The re sults of the balloting are merely advisory and do not mean man datory acceptance of manage ment's proposal. The NLRB said it will conduct the vote on Jan. 11-13. Industry calculates its last offer would give workers 30 cents an hour more in wages and fringe benefits over tiiree years. I'SW President David J. Mc Donald said the union's own se cret ballot among some of Its members indicates the workers will vote heavily to reject the in dustry olfcr. i Judge Sorg ruled Wednesday night that workers will not have to work Christmas Day at U S Steel's Irvin works near Pitts burgh. The company had sched uled 6(10 men for work Christmas, but USW Local 2227 appealed to court on grounds the schedule vio lated the Taft-Hartley injunction, The union said no production work had been done at Ihe plant the past nine years on ChriHinas day. Before the strike, sleelwork ers averaged W 11 an hour. Morse Vin Predicted By Hatfield SALEM (API Republican Gov. Mark Hatlield Wednesday pre dicted Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) will win Oregon's Democratic presidential primary next May 20. Hatfield indicated Morse would have the advantage because of a new law which places the names of all nationally recognized can didates on the ballot. Hatfield reasoned Morse would have the "mathematical assist ance of as many as four other presidential possibilities on the ballot with him." Morse, whose name probably will be put on the ballot by pe tition, said Tuesday he would wage an active campaign. He said he prefers not to be entered, but candidates entered by peti tion cannot withdraw. The name of Adlai Stevenson also will be put on the ballot by petition. Under the new law, Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. is or dered to enter the names of all nationally recognized candidates Those candidates can withdraw if they swear they aren't candidates and do not expect to be. Hatfield, who played a big part in passage of the new law, said its purpose is "to give the rank and file the privilege of putting on the ballot any favorite candi date." But Appling said he will ask the Legislature to amend the law, so candidates entered by petition might withdraw. It takes only 1.000 names to place a candi date's name on the presidential ballot. Appling said the primary "has just lost its significance" by the entry of Morse. The ballot should not include favorite sons, he add ed. "The real purpose of our pri mary law is being thwarted," he said. a series ol infirmities, Including chest congestion, the immediate cause of his death. On learning of Halifax' death, Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd hailed Mm as a man who "as viceroy of India, as foreign sec retary and finally as ambassador to Washington . . , adorned these Ii I ices with integrity, idealism ana anility. It was in the post that Lloyd now holds, that of foreign secre tary, that Lord Halifax, an aris tocrat whose natural reserve was sometimes misinterpreted as snobism, saw his darkest hour. In 1038 Halifax .succeeded Anthony Eden as top man in the foreign office after Eden re signed, protesting the appease ment policies of the late Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. As foreign secretary, Halifax admittedly helped forward disas trous policy of appeasing Hitler and Mussolini, but he always maintained a reputation for im peccable integrity. When Chamberlain knew he could no longer stay in office, Halifax was one of two men he called in as a possible successor. The other was Winston Churchill. It was May 10, 1940, the day Nazi panzer divisions ripped through France, Holland, and Bel gium. Chamberlain told, the two men before him he was going to recommend that one of them succeed him.

Ralph A. Russell, 69, 3215 Alta- mont Drive, was freed by firemen who had to dismantle the hopper of a brick molding machine. Rus sell had held off pressure from a paddle wheel which trapped him by thrusting a crowbar into the machinery. He said he was getting too weak to exert much pressure on the bar when rescuers arrived. He was taken by city police to Klamath Valley Hospital. No bones were broken in Russell's hand, but lacerations were painful, he said. Russell rested at home Thursday morning. Russell, a partner in the tile company, said he was through making bricks for the day and had a little repair job to do. He said he forgot to turn off a limit switch that starts the machinery automat ically when parts of the machine are moved. He tried to move the machinery by hand and it started up. The paddle wheel which forces mud into a mold caught his hand. "DENNIS' THE MENACE" Airline Plea Gets Support The plea of West Coast Airlines for permission to provide air transportation from Klamath Falls to Reno for the period January 5, I960 through April 4, received a boost recently from Earl W. Sny der, director of the Oregon State Board of Aeronautics. Snyder wrote the Civil Aero nautics Board that this application is responsive to the needs of citi zens living in southwest Oregon, and urged that it be given favor able consideration.

Snyder wrote, "Tho amount of subsidy required for a given route is a moot point until an oppor tunity is granted to actually dem onstrate the economic factors for that route. In this instance, it would appear that the CAB in approving WCA's application would afford without cost to the government an opportunity to at tain valuable data relating to the Klamath Falls-Reno route extension."
