He hasn't been able to do his good deed all day!" Youngster Goes Berserk TOLEDO (AP) A 15-year-old boy got thrown out of a movie house here Sunday night. The Lincoln County sheriff's office said he then went berserk and left two business establish-1 ments and a log truck weighing station in wreckage. They said the youth first broke into the - Toledo Tire Shop, broke every window in the building, broke up a desk, destroyed many of the firm's records, dumped several cans of paint over the interior, and bashed in all the windows and lights of a truck in an adjacent lot. Deputies said the boy then used a saw horse to batter in all the windows of a nearby scale house, then moved to the studios of radio station KTDO, where all the outside windows were broken. The youth was bundled Into juvenile detention quarters. RANGE READY BULL SALE THURSDAY, JANUARY 26. 1:00 P.M. Klamath County Fairgrounds 32 Horned Hereford's, II Felltd Hereford!

Phono TO 4-1151 Kennedys Appointees To Face Careful Scrutinizing By Senators WASHINGTON (AP) Senate hearings on President-elect John F. Kennedy s Cabinet appoint ments will start Wednesday. First to come under the Senates ad vise and consent" procedure will be Douglas Dillon. Kennedy's choice for secretary of the TreaS' ury. It was learned Sunday night that the Seriate Finance Commit tee, headed by Sen. Harry F, Byrd, D-Va , has set Wednesday morning for a hearing on Dillon, one of two Republicans selected by Kennedy for the Cabinet. The appointments cannot be sent officially to the Senate until after Jan. 20 when Kennedy takes office. But to speed things up there's no rule against holding the. necessary hearings earlier. Sen. Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., the new majority leader, over the weekend predicted speedy Senate confirmation of Kennedy s Cabi net choices. But he said he ex pects some of them to be quizzed at length. Indications are that the presi dent-elect's brother, . Robert F. Kennedy, will get the closest look as attorney general-designate. It is the first time a president has named his brother to a Cabinet position. Robert Kennedy's age, 35, also has brought some mutter ings from senators about his ex-: perience for the job as head of the Justice Department. Sen. Everett M. Dirksen, R-Ill Senate GOP leader, has promised detailed questioning of Robert Kennedy. The Senate very rarely rejects a president's choice for a Cabinet post, but it has been done. Two leaders of a move to make it easier to halt a Senate filibuster hope to get action by the middle of the week. They are Sens. Thomas H. Kuchel, R-Calif., and Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn, Kuchel and Humphrey want the rule to be changed so that a fili buster can be stopped by the vote of 51 senators, a bare majority. At present it takes two-thirds of senators present and voting, and Southern Senators are against any change. Kuchel and Humphrey want a test vote by midweek on the right of a member to move the previ ous question" a parliamentary procedure that would cut off de bate and force a vote. The Housn has used this rule for a long time, but the Senate has not for many years. Vice President Richard M. Nixon has held that it is proper in some circumstances. But Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., last week contended that it would require a two-thirds ma jority of those voting to "move the previous question." If that contention h upheld, Kuchel and Humphrey would get nowhere on that tack.

The highlight of this Christmas Count was the discovery of a flock of 250 rusty blackbirds, the first Klamath Basin report for this species which are casual visitors from the Canadian provinces. Another visitor from the same Canadian region which may reach me Klamath .Basin this winter is the snowy owl but so far the Nature Society has not received any report of this interesting species reaching this area.

Tlic Nature Society conducts five bird checks each year on the avaian fauna of the Klamath Basin.

Bird watching in the Klam ath Basin is not a new activity for 1961 marks the totith year for bird watching in this area, started by Dr. John Strong New berry who was present in the Klamath Basin in 1855, and pub lished the first list of birds in law. Senate Majority Leader Mans field Monday proposed that the government pay $1 million for television and radio time for each major political party in president tial campaigns. He made that suggestion in offering 'a series of measures to streamline election procedures. Among his proposals were abolish ment of the Electoral College, moving presidential inaugurations up to Dec. 1, cutting the length of campaigns, and federal aid to encourage presidential primaries. As to his radio-TV idea, Mans field said campaign costs have reached "enormous levels." Ho added, "I do not think it serves the national interests when the expenses for those who campaign to serve all the people must be financed by a relative handful of people and organizations which make large contributions directly or indirectly." The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Eman uel Celler, D-N.Y., proposed Sun day the creation of 63 new federal judgeships. Celler said "all the evidence clearly demonstrates the need for these additional judges." The pro posal would add some coveted political plums to Kennedy's patronage bundle. Federal judge ships pay a minimum of $22,500 year and have full-pay retire ment benefits. Appearing on a Sunday tele vision program NBC-Meet the Press Dirksen and Rep. Charles A. Halleck, the House Republican leader, said they would not oppose the Kennedy administration's leg islative program on any blanket basis, but would decide major issues on their merits as they see them. "DENNIS THE MENACE" 'No Crime To Be Small,' But Size May Cause Strike England 'He wanted to know if we put mot water " COLO WATER IN TH BIPO OATH." Tax Department Office To Provide Filing Aid PETERBOROUGH. (AP) Pint-sized Spencer Howden may lose hit first job and' cause a strike because at 16 he is only 4 feet J and weighs 87 pounds. A factory surgeon has ruled him too .small for industrial employment. But 5,000 workers at the Per kins diesel plant are rallying to defend him. Spencer left school at Christ mas and passed the apprentice examination at Perkins with fly ing colors. When he reported for work last Monday he was fitted with a spe cial pair of overalls and given a box to stand on so he could reach his lathe. His fellow workers nick named him "King Size," Then came the medical exam ination, and word spread around the factory that "King Size" had been fired, "The men didn't like it," said union organizer Ron Waterston. "They were ready to strike on the spot." "Now the boy has been sus pended for a week with full pay while we negotiate on his future. This is a case of championing the underdog," he said. Explained a management spokesman: "The medical examination ) compulsory. Spencer was found to be unfit for this kind of work and the law requires that he should leave.
