AP -The secret of how California Institute of Technology pranksters tricked University of Washington students into spelling out "Caltech '. for nationwide TV audience at the last Rose Bowl came was laid bare Thursday. The current Issue of Caltech magazine, Engineering and Sd encc, carries a story by Lance Tavlor. class of 1962, which out lines the almost incredible prcpa ration and ingenuity required. The article blames 14 unidenti fied residents of Lloyd House at Caltech. most in the class of 1962 This would seem to absolve Taylor, because his residence is Page House. According to the article, this was the sequence of events: Committee Will Study District Tax, Water Use A committee of five water us. crs, representative ol llie wide area served by the Enterprise Ir rigation District, was named at a meeting Wednesday night to con duct a study of the district's wa ter tax and operational practices Named were Harvey Martin Bert Bagett. L. W. Hutchinson Alex Smith and Harold Bunch. The meeting, held in the Twyla Ferguson School, was chair manned by Merlin W. Bleak. Upon completion of the study, a general meeting for all water users under the district wUl be called to permit water users to air views on services rendered and costs of water delivery. There are approximately 2.000 patrons of the district within tlic South Suburban area embracing nearly 3,000 acres. The land uv eludes ranches and single lots in the thickly populated district ad. iaccnt to the city of Klamath Falls. The Enterprise District is served by pumps and buys water from the Klamath Irrigation District It was formed in 1918 at a lime when much of the land now sub. divided was in farms. Present directors of the water board are Bill Cunningham, Joe Keller, Everett Dennis, Dean Mar cum and Raymond Batty. Recommend $596,000 For Roads The Klamath County Roads Ad visory Committee Wednesday night recommended a 596,ooo roads improvement program for the county in 1961. The committee met to review the program submitted by Coun. ty Engineer Jack Kalinoski. The county court is expected to give final approval to the program within the next two weeks. The biggest single expenditure, proposed is for $110,000 for the grading of 11 miles of the Clover Creek Road. This will provide link between Die Dead Indian Road and the Green Springs High way. The road win oc rocx sur faced in 1962. A project of interest to Klam ath Falls residents is the grading and rock surfacing of a link of the East Side Bypass to connect Shasta Way and South Sixth Street. Grading of portions of the Ccr- bcr and Hildebrand roads in the Bonanza district are the largest county projects in that area. A step in a new route to Ash land and Medford is also pro. posed. A $55,000 allocation is rec ommended for base construction and paving of the Dead Indian Road from Rainbow Creek to the Jackson County line. Francis "Van Landrum is chairman of the Roads Advisory Committee. Members are Alvin Chcyne, J. W. Koms Jr., Fred Markwardt of Chiloquin and Don ald Hummell. Sleeping Bags Taken At Base State police were informed Wed nesday of a theft early last week of five khaki colored "mummy" type sleeping bags from a store room al Kingslcy Field. The bags were the property of the 827th Radar Squadron and were valued at $50 each. Air police are also investigating. Another Uieft was reported by Jim Watkins, 1603 Ivory Street, who said he has had four 15-inch wheels, two tires and 55 gallons of fuel oil stolen from his prop erty within the past three weeks. Leave Today Far Funeral Mr. and Mrs. Georgo S. Boyd, 1527 Kane Street, left by air Thursday for Rockville. Md., to attend funeral services for a son-in-law, Dorsey Clark. Mr. Clark, 44, died Jan. 26. Mrs. Clark was the former Iva Boyd of Klamath Falls. The funeral will be Monday, Jan. 30. . Before Christmas the fiendish 14 called Rose Bowl officials and learned that Washington's card section would arrive Dec. 29 and stay in a dormitory at Long Beach State College. One of the 14, posing as a re porter, interviewed the director of Washington's card section and found out just how the section worked. Each of the 2,232 students in the section gets his own stack of col ored cards, as well as an instruc tion sheet telling him what card to hold up at a certain signal Some hold up dark cards, some hold up light cards, and if they do it right they spell out words, The "reporter also found out the director planned to eat dinner in about an hour. At that time a Tcchman picked a lock and swiped an instruction sheet. A nearby printer obligingly ran oil 2,300 duplicates for $30. The next day the T e c h m a n picked the lock again and stole the master plans large sheets of graph paper colored the way the stunts were to appear. Back' to Lloyd House went the Tcchmen, to spread 2,232 substi tute instruction sheets over tables and floors. They painstakingly stamped corrections in demon stralions 10, It and 12. Ten hours later they left for Long Beach, replaced the master plans and substituted the altered instruction sheets for the original stack. The result was that during Rose Bowl half-time the unsuspecting Washingtonians spelled out "Cal tech" instead of "Washington," then spelled "Huskies" backwards and finally came up with a pic ture of the Caltech Beaver in stead of their canine mascot. Pranks are a tradition at Cal tech, where students have been known to move a car off the street, lake it apart and reassem ble it inside a large closet. Noth ing so far, however, has oqualed the Rose Bowl hoax. DR. ERIC FRYKENBERG World Traveler To Speak Here Dr. Eric Frykenberg, world traveler, will speak al the Bible Baptist Church, 2244 Wiard Street, Thursday and Friday, Jan. 26-27, at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday,.

Kennedy, while cautiously opti mistic about an era of better re lations with Russia, sidestepped the question of a summit confer ence and declined to commit him self to a meeting with Khrushchev if the Soviet leader returns to the United Nations in New York this spring. ' The President said "it would be more appropriate to wait until we had s'ome indication whether Mr. Khrushchev is planning to come to the United Nations." Kennedy said the release of the two RB47 fliers was negotiated by U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn E. Thompson in "friendly" talks with Khrushchev and other Soviet of ficials. The President said the conversations took place in an "atmosphere of civility." The President-said the Soviet Union, in the talks with Thomp son, still contended that it knew nothing of 11 airmen still unac counted for from the 17-man crew of a C130 shot down in September 1958 over Soviet Armenia. The Russians returned the bodies of six other crew members. Kennedy said Thompson did not discuss with the Russians the case of Capt. Francis Gary Powers be cause it was "in a different cate gory." Powers is serving a 10-year sentence in Russia for espion age. The crash of his U2 deep in the heart of Russia last May 1 led to the collapse of the Paris sum mit conference. Former President Eisenhower took the blame and suspended all such flights a ban Kennedy has promised to con tinue. On other international subjects, he said: CUBA: "We have no plan at present to resume diplomatic re lations with Cuba" because the revolution there has been "seized by aliens for their purposes." The United States welcomes national movements in Latin America but! concerned when they "are seized by external forces and di rected not to improving the wel fare of the people involved but towards imposing an ideology which is alien to this hemi sphere." CONGO: The United States will "increase substantially" its food shipments to relieve famine in the turbulent area and also will step up the flow of hospital supplies. NUCLEAR TEST BANK The United States has asked that ne gotiations with Britain and Rus sia, scheduled to resume Feb. 7, be postponed until late in March to give Kennedy's administration time to "prepare a clear Ameri can position." , CHINA: He is "not anxious to offer food" to famine-stricken China "if it is regarded merely as a propaganda effort by the United Stales." Anyway, China is still exporting rice and has given no sign that aid from the United States would be welcomed. LAOS: Tne United Males is using its influence" to try to fos ter the establishment of an "in dependent country, peaceful coun try." There has been no Soviet reply to a British proposal to re-establish a three-nation control commission to try to end the civil war there. GOLD AND DOLLAR GAP: He plans to send Congress recommen dations on how to meet the deficit in U.S. international balances but docs not believe that exchange restrictions will be needed.

C, Aug. 27, 1782. for Constitution Revision Plans Shaping In Salem By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM (API Plans for revi sion of Oregon's 102-year-old Con stitution began to take shape in the Oregon Legislature today. Legislative leaders agreed thai a commission snouiu - siuoy we question for two years, and then bring its conclusions to the 1963 legislature. They agreed it is too big a job to try to draft a Con stitution at this session. At the November election, the voters authorized the legislature to draft a new Constitution. If the 1963 legislature does that, then the proposed Constitution would have to go to the people. Sen. Walter J. Pearson, chair man of the Senate State and Fed eral Affairs Committee and Sen ate President in 1959, said he and Sen. Jean Lewis are drafting a resolution to set up (he commis sion. Botn are Portland Demo crats. Their resolution would let the commission draft a new Constitu tion, or amend the present one, caving this decision to the com mission. The commission would consist of three senators, three repre-i sentatives, three members of the state Bar, four ex-governors, and four public members. Pearson said there should be strong emphasis against permit ting special interest groups from being represented. House Speaker Robert B. Dun can, D-Medtord, said tne pumic should get more representation on the commission than present office holders. He added that "it looks like Sen. Pearson and I aren't very far apart." Most legislators agree that the Constitution has been patched up so many times that an entirely new one is needed. Gov. Mark O. Hatfield and his predecessor, Robert D. Holmes, had advocated that a constitution al convention be held. But the legislature would not buy that, agreeing to keep that power for itself. The people agreed with the legislature. Pearson and Sen. Boyd Over- hulse. D-Madras, tossed a bomb shell in the form of a bill to re duce the 6-cent a gallon state gas oline tax to five cents. "The Highway Commission gets enough federal aid to build the roads we need, and we should re duce its revenues so that it can take another long look to see if all of these new roads are neces sary," Pearson said. The commission said it would not ask for a gasoline tax increase this time. But it certainly will op pose the move to reduce it.

Elfstrom, R-Sa-lem, introduced his bill to use $10 million of the surplus to pay off state bonds. The effect would be to trim Hatfield's $259 million budget by that amount. The measure, supported by a majority of the House Reinbli cans, is strongly opposed by the governor. Sen. Andrew J. Naterlin, D Newport, sponsored a bill to in crease the number of members of the state Board of Health from nine to 10. The additional mem ber would be an optometrist. Two reorganization bills, pre pared by the Legislative Interim Committee on Natural Resources, were introduced in the Senate. One would set up a Water Re sources Department, including the functions of the Hydroelectric Commission, state engineer and Rogue River Coordination Board. The other would establish a De partment of Outdoor Recreation that would take over the duties of the state Marine Board and Columbia Gorge Commission. Purse Grab Try Fails.
