Q O PACE 4 B HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday, March 17, lflfiO Census Crew Straw Bosses Begin Rounds WASHINGTON (AP) - Ten thousand census screw leaders make the rounds of 80.000 house holds today to cct advance perience fur the lO&Pnational head count. The census straw bosses ar ranged to visit homos picked at random (rom Maine to Hawaii bacn slop called tor going through all the motions of taking a census, which doesn't begin of (icially until April 1. Actually, the crew chiefs were doing more than go through mo tions. Their reports will become part of the official tally and house holds visited today won't be count ed again. However, to keep all data ac curate as of April 1, a specia form was being left at each house hold so any births or deaths dur ing the rest of the month may be reported later by mail. The test was expected to count about 260,000 residents since the average household has three to four members. However, official: were uncertain whether all would be tallied by nightfall. With much of the Midwest shaking off the cf lects ot a major snowstorm, crew leaders in some cities were ex pected to delay their trial run for a day or two. The April census will involv visits to 55 million households by 160,000 enumerators who will lake orders from the crew leaders About 180 million residents will be counted at that time. Two Brothers Appear Before Court Two landowners appeared before the county court Wednesday to clarify a joint City-Counly Planning commission recommendation on land zoning near the North En trance. , The visitors, Bob and Dan O'Con nor, questioned a planning com mission statement regarding land in the vicinity of the new OTI Site, which the O'Connors olfered the school. Bob O'Connor said he thought a planning commission statement in dicatcd no commercial use of the land whatsoever. He recommend ed zoning for light commercial uses such as a shopping center In the future. County Commissioner Frank Ga- nong said it was his understand ing the planning commission pro posed "an interim zone to give immediate protection to the area, subject to permanent zoning later." "We're looking toward a long range master plan." O'Connor said, "maybe 10 or 15 or even 40 years. If the area docs develop and that's where the growth will be lt will develop along a master plan." He said the land involved in a master plan would include a two mile strip of 1.500 acres, from the city limits north to Shady Pine. Ganong said he didn't think the planning commission proposed any immediate action "that would do this anything but good." Judge Bob Walker suggested the O'Connors talk with Dave DcVoe. city planner, to see what planning commission thoughts arc. "He has the maps, and can give you the whole picture," Walker said. Police Speed Up Efforts In Attempt To Solve Case A GIFT of $743 was presented to Winston Purvine, OTI di rector, for addition to the Farm Bureau loan fund Monday by Mrs. R. W.

OTI is applying for the aid. The farm bureau fund will have become the first at OTI to qualify lor federal matching funds, if the request is granted.

The women, wives of promi nent Chicago business executives, were found by , a search party Wednesday on the floor of a cave iff a towering sandstone canyon in rolling Starved Hock State Park, 100 miles' southwest of Chicago.

They were not missed until Wednesday when Murphy tele phoned the lodge to check up.

The bloodied tree limb was picked up about six feet from the mouth of the cave in St. Louis Canyon, a box canyon with sheer walls reaching to 150 feet. "This could have been used to kill them," Assl.
