PASADENA, Calif. AP -The

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

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:

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

The Enterprise District is served
by pumps and buys water from
the Klamath Irrigation District

board are Bill Cunningham, Joe
Keller, Everett Dennis, Dean Mar
cum and Raymond Batty.

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.

dom of information, the budget
and electoral reform.
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.

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.

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. I

Repi Robert L. 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

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.
