Radio Net
Pact Awarded
A mobile radio network for use
of the county sheriff and road de
partments should be in opera
tion about mid-April.
The county court yesterday
awarded a $26,994 contract to Mo
torola for the transistorized system
to include a base station, three
control stations, five remote units
19 mobile units, three portable
units, plus installation and acccs
sories.
Cost to the county will be $13.-
189: the state will pay $308. and
half the cost, or $13,497, will be
paid by the federal government on
condition the network may be used
for civil defense purposes.
The contract is subject to con
firmation by Motorola and approv
al by federal civil defense author
ities. The court awarded its contract
after bids by both Motorola and
General Electric were examined
in detail by Joe Searles, Klam
ath County Civil Defense director.
General Electric had bid $23,829,
or $3,000 under Motorola.
Searles' evaluation, the court
said, found Motorola met bid speci
fications but General Electric omit
ted required items. General Elec
tric did not meet specifications for
transistorized portable equipment
crystal stability, power output,
portable equipment modulation, or
technical specifications for one
band.
The Motorola mobile unit, the
court said, will require no more
power than an auto dome light
at Portsmouth, Virginia, Camp
White and San Diego. She was
married in Westfield to Gene Mc
Curley, who survives. McCurley
was the agricultural representative
for the First National Bank in
Medford until 1958 when he was
transferred to Klamath Falls where
he holds the same position with
the First National Bank. Mrs. Mc-
Curley was a member of Peace
Memorial Presbyterian Church
Oregon Nurses Association, Cen
tral Point Grange and Pomona

during 1960, depending upon cer
tain factors of sale combinations.
Howard Hopkins, timber man
agement officer for the Rogue Riv
er National Forest, .Medford, rep
resenting Carroll Brown, forest su
pervisor, explained the revisions
of the sustained yield allowable
cut of the West Klamath Working
Circle of the Rogue.
AT THE START of calendar
year 1959, the working circle had
an annual sustained cut of 14 MM
board feet, he .stated. The new in
ventory had been completed. How
ever, it was evident that the cut
should have been somewhat great
er than the 14 MM and an interim
cut of 24 MM was established
by J. Herbert Stone, regional for
ester for the Pacific Northwest
This figure is being further re
vised as more detailed informa
tion is obtained from the inventory
and, starting July 1 of this year,
the sustained yield cut will be in
creased to 40 MM board feet an
nually, Hopkins said.
Hopkins introduced Darroll
Frewing, Klamath district ranger,
who asked Doug Shaw of his staff
to present detailed sales plans.
Shaw stated that the forest plans
to sell 71 MM board feet during
the current calendar year. This
sales program, in excess of the
annual allowable cut of 40 MM
is made possible by past under
cuts and insufficient timber vol
ume already sold and under con
tract to be cut. Of this 71 MM, 13
MM board feet was a carryover
from the second half of 1959 cal
endar year sales program which
had been delayed.
The new sales program, includes
58 MM feet of timber in addition
lo this past 13 MM carryover that
will be sold during the current
year. The areas involved are west
of Klamath Lake and to the Cas
cade divide, he explained.
Ross Youngblood of Medford
district manager., Bureau of Land
Management, summarized the bu
reau's sales program in the area
ributary to the Klamath Basin
and explained recent revisions in
that area's declared annual allow
able cuts.
Prior to April, 1959, the area
had a declared annual allowable
cut of 13 MM board feet. At that
ime, the BLM speeded up its re-
inventory and allowable cut cal
culations on this area at the re
quest of local industry and govern
ment officials. The result was an
increase of the annual allowable
cut to 23 MM board feet.
THROUGH ADMINISTRATIVE
decision, an additional 6 MM board
feet were programmed for sale for
the calendar years 1959 and 1960
after it was explained to industry
and government in the basin that
this accelerated cut during the two
years would have to be followed by
reduced cuts to balance the aver
age annual cut to the declared al
lowable cut figures over the five
year period. Therefore, during the
calendar years 1961 through 1963,
the area can expect a reduced cut
to approximately 19 MM board
feet annually, Youngblood said
This sales program was estab
lished to help the basin insofar
as possible during the reservation
termination, according to Young-
Wood.
The Bureau of Land Manage
ment will sell during the calendar
year 1960 29 MM board feet of
timber in the Greensprings Keno
areas.
The Lakeview office of the Bu
reau of Land Management expects
to sell 2 MM board feet during the
current calendar year and con
tinue its aggressive policy to com
plete the forest inventory in or
dcr to have the best available in
formation upon which to base fu
ture allowable cuts and timber
sale plans, according to "Bud'
urgess, district manager at Lake
view.
"Although this timber is geo
graphically tributary to the Klam
ath Basin, it is readily accessible,
also, to operators in other areas,'
McCracken pointed out in sum
marizing the information. "T h e
Klamath Basin cannot possibly ex
pect to get the entire volume list
ed for its own operation."
McCracken thanked the govern
ment officials for their attendance
and detailed information. Local op
erators also expressed their ap
preciation at being able to get the
complete picture of timber sup
ply. .Many expressed the wish that
a meeting of this type might be
held annually.
Before the meeting closed, the
problem came up of timber hauling
over the Diamond Lake Highway
which is closed to commercial log-
hauling. This road, built primarily
(or recreation access, presently
does not have either the subsur
face or the surface construction
necessary to allow commercial
loads of logs to be transported
over It.
This is a major problem to the
Klamath. Basin, it was pointed out,
insofar as assuring the basin its
proper share of the timber vol-!
umes being sold now and in the
future within the Diamond Lake
ranger district of the Umpqua Na
lional Forest.
C Of C Hears
Loan Program
By TOM STIM.MEL
The Lord helps those who help
themselves. So does Page Lamor-
eaux, a uuuornia Dusinessman
who has his own ideas about for
eign aid, and acts accordingly.
An impressed chamber of com
merce audience last night found
much to favor Lamoreaux's meth
ods over the government's foreign
aid handouts.
PAGE LAMOREAUX sells cars
in Napa, California, operates a
ranch in Klamath County, and
travels the world looking for alert
young men he can start in busi
ness for themselves. He uses
loans, not gifts.
"These people don't want big
gobs of money," Lamorcaux told
169 persons at the chamber's an
nual meeting in the Willard Ho
tel. "They want a little bit of
money, and know-how."
With little bits of money, $3,000
to $5,000 or sometimes $10,000,
Lamorcaux and his associates
have started or enlarged small
businesses in the Communist
clouded half of the world. He and
his friends have helped a goathair
coat maker in Lebanon, a spring
coil manufacturer in Turkey,
retail furniture seller in Greece,
a steel chair fabricator in India
an ice cream bar maker in Thai
land.
The relationship is strictly busi
nessbut business with a magnan
imous heart. Lamoreaux's "little
bits of money" create a 50-50 part
nership with the foreign manufac
turer. When the manufacturer is
able to repay the loan, the busi
ness belongs to him. Lamoreaux
International, as the organization
is called, uses the money some
where else.
WHY DOES HE and his assoc
iates do this?
Since World War II, he said, 23
new nations gained independence
Each of these nations chose some
democratic form of government;
none went Communist. But these
nations have problems.
"People in one-third of the world
are hungry. In one-fourth of the
world, people earn less than $50
a year, and have a life expectancy
of 36 years.
"This is the problem. It is not
Quemoy, not Matsu, not Berlin
The world is in a state of rising
expectation, Lamoreaux said,
To help this expectation become
fact, the U.S. has poured into for
eign countries 70 billion dollars
since 1946. "It's your money," said
Lamoreaux, ,a fiftyish man who
looks like a college football coach,
as he leaned over the rostrum
and pointed a finger at his intent
listeners. "But I have news for
you. We didn't buy very much
with that. People out there don't
line you very well.
We didn't buy much, he said, be
cause we didn't send any instruc
tions with our money and our aid

Star Witness
Was Afraid
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - An ex-
convict hired to kill a surgeon's
wife today testified he was afraid
defendant Dr. R. Bernard Finch
would try to kill him if he ever
got the opportunity.
Star prosecution witness John
(Slick Jack) Cody, under cross-
examination by defense attorney
Grant Cooper, detailed a conver
sation with the socialite doctor at
the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas.
Cody has testified he was hired
by Finch, 42, and his pretty red-
haired girl friend, Carole Tregoff,
23, to shoot Mrs. Barbara Finch
and eliminate the third person in
a love triangle.
The witness said he met Finch
in the hotel after making one trip
to Los Angeles and failing to car
ry out his death mission.
The doctor tried to persuade
him to return and carry out the
murder, Cody said, but he count
ered by offering "fatherly advice"
that they abandon the plan.
Cody said he asked Finch if It
was worth it to murder his wife
if he really loved Carole. The ad
mitted master liar said he coun
seled the surgeon to go away and
start life anew with Carole with
out killing his wife.
