0.W 0RS.LI8JUJII eiS?AP0t SECTION SSiSf'0 cctani tit oosr la The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS In Washington, the congress of the United States is assembling to make a lot ol new laws. All over the nation, in this odd-numbered year, state legislatures are meet ing to grind out batches ot new laws. ????????? Well, from time to time, of course, we need new laws to meet rew situations. We can't say no new laws should be passed. That would mean stagnation. ' But, at thU season, this thought is apt to occur to a lot of us: The BIG thing we need is thought ful, intelligent, efficient enforce ment of the laws we have along with constant scrutiny of them to make sure they were genuinely needed when they were passed end that they haven't since got OUT OF DATE. Maybe if we had FEWER laws we'd RESPECT them more. One of the really big stories of the past few days is that of the little girl in Las Vegas (age 3) who was critically burned over SO per cent ot her body when the cigarette lighter she was playing with set fire to her clothes. As her case was diagnosed, only the B negative blood of someone w ho had been burned over at least iO per cent of the body could help her. Such blood, the doctors hope, contains anti-bodies that will help little Julia pull through. The appeal for donation of such blood went out over the nation by air, by print and by word of mouth. Ten persons, meeting the specifications, responded. They volunteered instantly. They were flown to Las Vegas yesterday, so that each could donate a pint of blood of the kind that was needed. As this is written, little Julia v Isn't yet out of the woods, so we don't know whether or not the story will have a happy ending. But, at this point, we can quote one of the donors Bill Nolle, of Cherry Valley, California. He put H this way: "It's very seldom that a person passing through this world gets a chance to do something as worthy s this." The others, each with his tale of suffering surrounding the his tory of his own burns, gave sum lar motives for making the trip. Weather Klamath Falls aad vicinity Cloudy tonight and Wednesday.

Harry Boivin emerged as the president of the Sonata when the votes were officially cast to open Monday's first session. Af ter Boivin's election was assured, San. Alfred Corbett. who had also sought the post moved to make his selection unanimous. Boivin is shown here accepting the Senate gavel from Sen. Walter Pearson. While the 1961 battle for the post was intense, it does not have the damaging effects of the 1957 fight when more than 250 votes ware taken before the Senate had a president. Senator Boivin is rated as one of the capitol's most astute politicians and regarded as a man who gets the job done.

NEW YORK (AP) A special task force proposed to President-elect John F. Kennedy today a broad ex pansion of Social Security, public assistance, unemploy ment compensation and medical education. The report, drawn up at Kennedy's request, is designed to give the new administration some high priority guidelines. , Among the proposals was a recommendation for the immediate passage by Congress of the controversial health insurance plan for the aged tied to Social Security. Benefits would be started read. pling Jr. said he would not pay the expenses that probably will be ordered by the legislature if it appears that the plan violates the state constitution. Such refusal would throw it into the courts. Klamath County Representa tives George Flitcraft and Car rol Howe have both voiced op position to the expense bill. Appling emphasized, however, that he does think the lawmak ers should get enough compensa tion to pay all of their expenses. The Senate passed and sent to the House yesterday a resolution providing maximum expenses for each member of $75 a month dur ing sessions, and $150 a .month when not in session. Approval in Die house is certain, since both parties have approved the idea in caucus. j Mm" 7? .,nn NEW YORK (AP)-The United maximum legislative pay at fiO0 , , . . . , ..".jj. u.ii u'States is supplying Guatemala a year after enactment the program. of Vientiane Receiving First Arms VIENTIANE, Laos (AP)-Four armed observation planes and an unspecified number of helicopters ' disabled receiving Social Security ibe reimbursed for their out-of-i pocket expenses."

(AP)-Mis. souri Pacific passenger trains hit two automobiles in separate acci dents in Missouri Monday, killing 12 persons. There were no survivors, in either car. Both trains were trav eling 75 miles an hour when the crashes occurred. They were two young mothers-sisters-in-law .and three pre school children of each. Four persons died in the acci An autopsy was held today in an effort to learn how and when the pretty blue - eyed, brown- haired Washington State Univer sity coed was slain. Police speculated that death came only a few hours after her boy friend, Larry Ralph Peyton, 19, a Portland State College stu dent, was knifed to death on a lover's lane near Portland's For est Park early the morning of Nov. 27. The girl, whose home was Port Townsend, Wash., was abducted from the car in which young Pey ton's body was found. There was evidence that he had fought strongly before a smashing blow on the head and 23 knife wounds killed him.

Highway workers discovered the body Monday as one of them look ed down a sloping embankment on Sunset Highway 37 miles west of Portland. The body lodged against small saplings that kept it from tumbling into a deep ravine. One shoe was gone. Her ski sweater and a bit of cloth, perhaps from her blouse, lay up the slope a few feet. If her abductors had headed di rectly toward the coast after kill ing Peyton, they would have trav eled on Sunset Highway and would have driven on the side on which her body was found. Soon after the discovery there were reports from people who said they had seen, at various times, a car pause near the spot. Multnomah County Sheriff's Capt. Gordon Auborn, in charge of the search from the outset, said today there were no fresh clues evident at the scene. "Finding the body has elimin ated lots of reports that she had been seen, Auborn said, "but nothing concrete was found at the scene. Still, he said, he remained hone' ful that the killers he believes there were at least two will be found. At Port Townsend, the slain girl's parents were said to be praying for the killers.

If surface evidence is found, the answers may be available today, said a spokesman for the coro ner's office. But if microscopic examination of tissue is neces sary, days or weeks may elapse. One of the men at the scene Monday said it was difficult to say, from a cursory check, wheth er Miss Allan had been stabbed, shot, or killed some other way. Since Peyton was stabbed it was supposed a knife might have been the murder weapon. However, the young couple's assailants had a gun for (here was a bullet hole in the windshield of Peyton's car. The car was nosed into an em bankment on the lonely road where it was found the day after the two had gone for a drive. Miss Allan and Peyton had met in the summer at Crater Lake National Park and had formed a warm friendship. While home from school for the Thanksgiving holiday, she came to Portland to visit him and his family. On Saturday evening. Nov. 26, they went for a drive.

' That's what Mrs. T. S. Calen der said and she looked as if she meant it, as she and her husband caressed their stolen toy poddlc after ransoming him for $500. Callcnder, a Greensboro, N.C., flooring contractor, stroked the 9-inch-tall dog with a fatherly hand. "People who don't own and love animals would think y,e were ri diculous," he said. "But when you don't have any children, well, the home comes to revolve around your pets." Itsy couldn t talk, of course, but his wagging tail and licking! tongue were busy signaling happi ness over the reunion Monday. The 8-pound, 3-year-old toy sil ver poodle was stolen Saturday night from the vacationing Calen ders' automobile while the couple was in a restaurant. The thief broke n window to get at the dog. Sunday an unidentified tele phone caller contacted Callcnder through a sister in St. Petersburg, Mrs. E. C. Jones, and directed (he Greensboro couple to bring $500 to a beach rendezvous. Thev were then to leave and return in 15 minutes for their pet. We found him dry, warm and well," Callender said. Mrs. Callcnder said they plan to leave for home late this week "but we would not have gone it Itsy had not been recovered." Police were not optimistic about the New York Times reported to day. A dispatch by Paul P. Kennedy from Retahuleu, near the south' west coast of Guatemala, said the United States also helped finance the construction of a nearby air field where intensive daily air training is going on. Guatemalan authorities from President Miguel Ydigoras Fuen- tes on down insist (hat (he mili tary effort is designed to meet an assault, expected almost any day, from Cuba," said the dispatch. "Opponents of the Ydigoras ad ministration have insisted that the preparations are for an offensive against Cuba and that it is being planned and directed, and to a great extent being paid for, by the United States." Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa charged in the U.N. Security Council last week that training camps for "mercenaries" for use against Cuba were operating in Guatemala and elsewhere. He complained that the United States was planning an invasion of Cuba at almost any hour. ' At a news conference Connecti cut Gov. Abraham A. Ribicoff, secretary-designate of the Health, Education and Welfare Depart ment, emphasized that the pro gram proposed in the report should properly be termed a health program for the aged, rath er than a medical program. "It has nothing to do with doctor's bills, so that is a misnomer," Rib icoff said. He said doctors' bills ordinarily account for only 25 per cent of health cost. Cohen, at the same news con ference, said the task force rec ommendations closely follow the terms of a bill introduced last year in the Senate by Kennedy and Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, D- N.M., but he said that the task force recommended broadening the coverage to include in the pro posed health care, men 65 and lion persons, an increase of five million over (he coverage of the Kennedy-Anderson bill.

Writer Dies WASHINGTON (AP) - The While House Conference on Aging today gets down to the business of sifting recommendations that eventually will be turned over to President-elect John F. Kennedy and to Congress. As the conference broke into many small work groups, a fierce war of words over medical care of older people hung in the air. The battle started Monday.
