WALL STREET
NEW YORK AP) The stock
market mounted a vigorous late
rally today and closed higher de
spite some profit taking. Trading
was heavy. The ticker tape was
late.
Gains of fractions to about 2
points prevailed among key
stocks. A good assortment of los
ers was sprinkled throughout the
list.
The market seemed to get a
"second wind" after a period of
rest from Monday's turbulence.
Automotive stocks, however, were
up from the start, apparently on
prospects of record January out
put now that the flow of steel
seems certain.
General Electric and Westing
house Electric advanced about 2
apiece. Chrysler rose more than
a point. General Motors, Ford and
American Motors were about a
point higher.

Local Cafe
Notes Theft
Of S500
Approximately $500 was taken by
a thief Monday from an unlocked
drawer in the Night Hawk Cafe,
629 South Sixth Street, city police
learned.
Police believe a customer may
be responsible. The money, in $5.
$10 and $20 bills, was stored in a
desk near the rear of the cafe
where restroonis are located.
The theft was reported at 2:26
p.m. by Mrs. Verle Eggleston.
She said the money was' taken
sometime between then and 10:30
a.m. Monday.
Officers said a customer on his
way to or from the restrooms
could easily have scooped up the
cash while restaurant personnel
were busy.
Two youths suspected of anoth
er theft were taken into temporary
custody by city police early Tues
day morning.
Officers said one of the suspects
admitted taking a .25 caliber pistol
from Tucker's East Side Grocery,
921 East Main Street, Monday
morning.
A store clerk told officers the
youths picked up a package of
cookies and brought them to the
counter to buy. While she rang
up the sale, one of the youths
apparently reached behind a gun
counter and took the pistol.
The clerk said she failed to miss
the gun until another customer en
tered the store and wanted to
look at guns. The youths were just
leaving then, she said.
A clerk in another store in down
town Klamath Falls reported to
police that a youth asking about the
price of .25 ammunition, furnished
her a pistol's serial number and
admitted having gotten the gun at
Tucker's Store. He also gave his
name, she said.
Subsequent investigation led po
lice to the suspects' quarters. Of
ficers brought the youths to head
quarters for questioning. One, 17
years of age, told officers he threw
the pistol away near his quarters.
He admitted having stolen the
gun, they said. Officers recovered
the pistol.
The other, Harold Morris Rob
ertson, 18, said he was not aware
of the theft until the pair was out
side Tucker's Store and prepar
ing to leave. His companion sub
stantiated his story.
Police filed a petition against
the younger of the pair Mon
day morning. He was released to
Air Force police pending action in
juvenile court. Robertson also was
released to Air Force police
A third theft was reported by
John Pederson, superintendent of
the Klamath Gospel Mission, 823
Walnut Avenue.. Pederson said
someone stole an electric hand
saw and an electric drill from the
mission's basement Sunday night
or Monday morning. Each tool
was worth about $50, he said.
City police also would like to hear
from the person who found a pay
envelope containing $90 in cash
reported lost Monday in the vicin
ity of Eighth and Main streets by
Walter Henry, an employe of the
Pelican Cafe and Wing.
Henry said the envelope was in
his back pocket and apparently
slipped out when he reached for
his billfold.

To Select
New Officers
"Senior citizens" interested in
forming a "Golden Age Club" for
Klamath County are invited to
come to the Municipal Swimming
Pool building Wednesday from 2 to
4 p.m. to elect officers, name the
organization and plot a course of
action.
City Park and Recreation Di
rector George Price said he ex
pects a large turnout, judging
from response to two previous
organizational meetings.
The first meeting, conducted in
mid-December, attracted more than
40 interested persons. A subsequent
meeting drew more than 60. More
would have come, Price believed,
except for the holiday season.
Plans so far include an arts and
crafts program to be planned by
the membership and administered
by the Park and Recreation De
partment. The program should
start soon, Price said.
He said he and his staff wilH
arrange to provide arts and crafts
instructors for about any project
the membership votes to institute.
The program, like club admission,
will be free of charge, but ma
terials probably will have to be
purchased by members.
The club will meet socially each
Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m.
and for business discussion each
Friday at the same time, Price
said.
That was decided at a meeting
last Wednesday during which guests
were served refreshments and
shown slide photographs of the re
cent Roseburg disaster by City
Fire Chief Roy Rowe.
The club is open to any Klam
ath County resident 50 years of
age or over. It is designed to pro
vide recreation for the retired or
those nearing retirement age.

Trial Enters
Second Day
The repetitious process of ques
tioning prospective jurors resumed
in circuit court today as the first
degree murder trial of Leonard
Marvin Lugo entered its second
day.
Attorneys on botli sides had run
through a list of 22 jury panel
members and had accepted only
six by the time Circuit Judge Da
vid R. Vandenbcrg resumed the
trial. The court had excused seven
persons from jury duty and the de
fense struck its fourth person this
morning.
District Attorney Arthur Beddoe
announced that the panel as seat
ed when today's session began was
acceptable to the slate, but Do
fense Attorney Joseph O. Stearns
excused another member, and the
questioning was resumed.
In a murder trial, the state is
entitled to six excuses and the de
fense 12.
Selection of a jury was expect
ed to take much of today's session

The argument reportedly

Credit Group
Buys Stock
The Klamath ProductJon Credit
Association and 29 other associ
ations in Idaho, Montana, Oregon
and Washington, now own 24.5 per
cent of the capital stock in the
Federal Intermediate Credit Bank
of Spokane, Don W. Krider, sec
retary-treasurer of the local assoc
iation, announced this week.
Krider said the slock purchase
program, initiated three years ago,
will eventually give the associations
complete ownership of the Spokane
bank the institution through
which they obtain the bulk of the
loan funds.
The Klamath association owns
$62,560 of stock in the bank, $43,
070 of which was paid for in cash
and the balance acquired through
patronage refunds out of bank earn
ings, according to Mr. Krider.
During 1959, the 30 associations
acquired $348,135 of bank capital
which, added to stock previously
obtained through purchase or pa
tronage refund, brought the asso
ciations investment to $1,792,310.
This reduced government owned
stock in the bank to $5,495,530.
Uncle Sam's Investment is reduced
as the associations increase their
stock ownership.

Power Assn. from intervening in
the state Water Resources Board's
hearing on Pacific Northwest's
application for a preliminary per
mit to build high Mountain Sheep
Dam on the Snake River.
The hearing on the permit opens
here today. The board met Mon
day to lay the groundwork for the
hearing, which is expected to last
a week or more.
George Rogers, Portland, attor
ney for PNP, said the Northwest
Public Power Assn. wants to in
tervene merely to promote its
philosophy of power development
by publicly-owned agencies.
But the board overruled him,
deciding that the public power
group could intervene.
Pacific Northwest Power is a
company owned by Portland Gen
eral Electric Co., Pacific Power
& Light Co., Washington Water
Power Co.. and Montana Power
Co.
Rogers said "Northwest Public
Power Assn. hasn't shown it has
any interest in this hearing. None
of its members would be affected,
none of them wants to build a
dam on the Snake, and none would
buy any of the power from Moun
tain Sheep. It wants to use this
board as a political sounding
board, bringing in issues com
pletely irrelevant to the proceed
ing."
John Davis, a board member,
replied that the hearing officer,
John D. Nichols, could keep ex
traneous issues out of the hear
ing. Pleas Denied

berg rejected pleas for probation

- i ""iiio involvement ot this man
1
waa paaaive uniuiuai-cllte mure
than active participation." "
District Attorney Arthur Beddoe
said Butler had a good reputation
and was a good worker, and said
he felt it was "a proper case for
the court to consider probation
However Judge Vandenborg, who
had heard the trial last week,
said, "This man went to the ware
house, opened the door, and then
goes home to bed and lets the
other fellow haul a couple of thous
and dollars worth of clothing into
his house.
