KERNS 734 So. 6th Klamath Falls, Ort, Cook Poisons Employers To Get Fired ALENCOX, France (I PD - Ar- lette Paris couldn't stand the quiet of country living but she was too devoted to her aged em ployers to resign as cook. Arlcttc took up the job of cook ing for Count Chevrel do Frilcuse 80, and his wile. Elizabeth. 73, soon after completing psychiatric-treatment. She thought working and living in tne counts huge but quiet country house would be just the thing for her nerves. But the very silence of the house began to get her. She thought of .quitting, she told police, but her employers doted on her and she was lond of them. Maybe if she would do something they didn't like, she thought, they would fire her. The solution dawned on her last Saturday while she was cooking a pot of the soup her employers liked so much. Spoil it, she said to herself, and she will be away from the eerie atmosphere. She found three bags rat poison and a weed killer. The weed killer, she said, appeared to be the least harmful so she dumped some in the soup. "I just wanted to make it taste bad," she said. "I just wanted to make them discharge me." Shortly after dinner Saturday night the Count's son stopped by to see his parents. He found his father dead, his mother writhing in agony. She died shortly alter. Arlette was returned today to psychiatric treatment. People Of Missouri Town Would Like Mew School Bill STELLA. Mo.

Crow dor, an inactive Army base nine miles away, the Army said it would be glad to rent the Stella school board a throe- story brick officers club. The charge, of course, would be nominal. Labor Boosts Race Equality MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (API- Organized labor today stepped up a drive to promote racial equality among workers. ArL-CIO leaders broadened a campaign to drop union member ship color restrictions after accus ing a government anti-discrimina tion committee headed by Vice President Richard M. Nixon with being too soft on employers. Nixon is chairman of President Eisenhower's Government Con tracts Committee assigned to en force standard clauses in all gov ernment contracts. Meany's comments had political overtones because many AFL-CIO leaders say Nixon has won sup port among the federation's l'i million Negroes by strong public pronouncements against racial bias. Meany, himself a member of the Nixon group, advocated tougher government policing of the con tract requirements to the point of canceling the contracts of vio lating employers. Federation leaders arranged a new racial equality compliance system of assigning members of the Federation Executive Council, composed of top union leaders, to work on segregation problems as they arise.

Retail Clerks Union - Local 265 AFL - CO Three months later the Army .-ert a bill for $1,5."0 and said the rental for a year would be $ti.'J00. This was hardly nominal for a chool district struggling to raise $155,000 for a new building. The school board didn't pay the $1,550 and it hasn't gotten any duns from the Army since it ap pealed to Sen. Stuart Symington D-Mol, Rep. Charles Brown D- Moi and Dewey Short, long-time Hepublican congressman who be came an assistant secretary of the Army after Brown dcteated him in 11156. The Missourians in Congress introduced bills to excuse Stella Irom paying the rental. Brown's version passed the House. This was the bill that Majority Leader Johnson trotted out Monday for the purpose of grafting on civil rights amendments. Is this all right with Stella? ' "We are only concerned with the matter of the rent money which the Army says we owe," said Don Parsons, superintendent of schools. There are no Negro pupils in the Stella school district and Stel la was too preoccupied with its building emergency to think much about civil rights and the U.S. Senate until Monday. It was preoccupied Monday, too. It was the first day for 337 pupils, grades six through twelve, in the brand new Stella school, Company Says Phones Doubled The number of telephones served by eight Klamath and Lake Coun ty exchanges nearly doubled dur ing the last decade.
