I 10 ln's uisinct Attorney rtrtnur Beddoe remarked in rebuttal ar- ; gument that such was the reaction of any guilty person, and added that "we're too busy with crimi nal cases in this county to frame anyone. Both Beesley and co-defense At. torncy P. K. Puckett made a point discovery 01 a package of purported marijuana in Carswell's pocket occurred in the city po lice station, although Carswell pre viously had emptied his pockets in his car at the time of his ar rest. "They had already arrested him for possession of narcotics," Bees ley said. ''I submit that having ar rested him for possession of mari juana, it was darned convenient that they did find some Ihc sec ond lime." Beddoe inlerproled this as an implication police officers slipped the package into Carswell's pocket, and said Hie implication was ab surd, lie emphasized that t h e package was found in a corner of the pockel. The wrapping papers, which Beddoe said were auto re pair receipts in Carswell's name, were passed among jurors, over delense objections. Beesley argued that laboratory tests were inconclusive; Beddoe said they were conclusive. The de fense asked where was Finnegan, the state's key witness who was I,,. . , ' . ... . . California, and why were Air Force personnel not called to ex plain. Beddoe said the defense could have called these men it self, and could have conducted its own laboratory tests, too, if these would have helped the defense case. Both Puckett and Beesley ob jected several times to Beddoe's final arguments "going way be yond rebuttal." At the close Bees ley moved for a mistrial on grounds that (1) the argument was completely outside thej Junction. The motion for mistrial, and the objections, were overruled. Agent Lauds Photo Aids Klamath County Extension Agent J. D. Vertrees told delegates to the twelfth annual California Weed Conference Wednesday in Sacra mento that color photography well done and expertly presented is an important tool in weed control edu cation. "Most research, extension, and commercial people in weed control work are asked often to give talks and demonstrations on weed con trol by farm groups and sales and research organizations," said Ver trees. "Color photography of weeds helps in weed control education. "Fuzzy, scratched or off-color slides do more harm in a talk than no slides at all," he added.

No injuries were re ported in either accident, but all four cars involved were towed away. State police said a car driven by Bertha Frances Childcrs, 63, 3014 Altamont Drive, went out of con trol at Ihe north end of the by pass and spun around several times before striking broadside a car driven by Belson James Benn, 54, North Hills Trailer Court. The Childcrs car continued to spin out of control until it plunged down a 15-foot embankment. It did not turn over. The front end of Ihe Childcrs car and the left side of the Benn enr were damaged considerably. The accident oc curred about 8:40 a.m. Tuesday. Ten minutes earlier a car driven by Clarence Wallor Abbott, Sanla Monica, California, went out of control on Route 39 about four miles north of Merrill. It ran into a car driven by Dr. Frank Trout man of Merrill, whose passenger was Mrs. Troutman. Library Drive Figures Given Klamath County's contribution lo the proposed building of the Eisen hower Library at Abilene has reached the 30 per cent mark and A. M. Collier, appointed local chairman for the fund drive, hopes to have the full amount of $800 by February 1. The library, to be built by the people of the United States and administered by the U. S. govern ment, will contain, when complet ed, documents of President Eisen hower's presidency years, his mili tary career and the private pa pers of the late Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in addition to a vast collection of materials col lected by other public figures. Dr. Wayne C. Grover, head of the Federal Government Archives Division, says the documents to be housed in the Eisenhower Li brary are considered by historians1 to be "the most important single body of historical material of its kind in the world." Diaries ol World War II veter ans will also have a special place in the building. j Part of the 13-acre site for the Eisenhower Center which will in clude the library was once a po tato patch, tended by Ike and his brothers. The $2 million two-story library building will match the style of the Eisenhower Museum across' the acreage site but will have four times as much room, 53,000 square feet.

Ranchhand Mother Informs Court Pale, fragile Ethel Myrtle Rursiki said in court today her ranch hand living companion Ihrealened her baby's lite as he beat it; against the floor and threatened I her life if she interfered. Mrs. Bursik. just turned 21. said; William Olen Gairson heat Ihe baby against the floor until it bled from Ihe mouth, tried to slop bleeding with a towel, and began beating it again. Testimony from Ihe shy, solemn mother was taken in the district court preliminary hearing for Gair .'on. 40-year-old cattle feeder charged with first degree murder in the death of Gary Lee Bursik, Mrs. Bursik's youngest son. Judge D. E. Van Vactor or dered Bursik held to the grand jury at the close of the hearing, without bond. At the same time, the judge scheduled for next Tuesday Gair son's trials on charges of cruelty to two babies, Gary Lee Bursik and his 3-year-old half-brother who survives, Billie Joe (Jody) Breed ing. Mrs. Bursik was brought from the county jail for today's hear ing in a well-filled district court room. She was dressed in an im maculately pressed blue suit, and she sat beside a jail matron her hands folded over a handker chiefuntil her time came to tes tify. She answered questions bright ly, almost proudly. Both Mrs. Bursik and Gairson are serving six-month terms for lewd cohabitation. District Attorney Arthur Beddoe asked her to describe events of last December 17 when Gairson returned for lunch in their home on the UI Ranch near Bonanza. "Bill picked up the baby and was playing with it for a while," she said. "He opened its motilh to see if it had more teeth, and it accidentally bit him or something. "He started swearing." "And what happened then?" Beddoe asked. "It happened so fast he either dropped the baby or threw the baby down. He had Ihe baby by the shoulders, hitting it against the door. Ho kept saying, 'I'll kill you! I'll kill you!' " Mrs. Bursik was uncertain of how long Gairson had beaten the baby as she was uncertain of all times and dales asked of her. She said Ihe beating lasted "quite a while." The baby started bleeding at the mouth, she said, and Gairson asked for a towel. He tried to stop the bleeding. "Then he began beating the baby again," she said. Beddoe asked whelher she at tempted to stop Gairson. She said she had asked him to stop, then tried to make him stop. He threat ened her. "What did he say?" Beddoe asked. Mrs. Bursik enunciated slowly, AUTOMATIC WASHER? Big Value ... at a low cost . . .
