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."

Whence came the reindeer? That

The trio passed under the sha

where they met King Herod and,
unwittingly, touched off the slaugh

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

The basis of this addition to
the Nativity story lies in Mat

for his cruwn as king of the Jews
ordered Hie death of every child

years before tlte wise men ar

The wise men disappear from

It is said that they went

they were baptized hy the Apostle

were martyred together for their

some students when somebody
grabbed him by the neck, pushed
him out of the way.
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

he challenged the student to hit
him. Seutter admitted that he
threw the first blow in the fracas.
In his statement to the juvenile

told Seutter after the fight that
he wouldn't sign a complaint
against the student, but would get

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

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.

Man Injured
In Mishap
A Klamath Falls man was
caught by the arm in a machine
at the Klamath Pumice Tile plant,
1640 Owens Street, for about an
hour before a passerby heard his
shouts for help Wednesday after
noon.
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.

tember of 1957, but that it was sub
sequently turned down by the CAB
on the grounds that such a route
would require excessive federal
subsidy.
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
