Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday, February 2, 1961 I'.C. Eor Her Piarf i. v. In Child Mutter Governor Hails Boeing's Interest SALEM (API The Senate State and Federal Affairs Com mittee voted unanimously Wed nesday for a resolution ordering the state Public Welfare Commis sion to adopt a plan for statewide use of surplus food immediately. But the resolution has no teeth in it. It doesn't have the force of law. The Public Welfare Commission already has said it doesn't have any funds to put the program into effect. It taid it is the responsi bility of the state Department of Finance and Administration to provide surplus foods directly tc those counties which ask for them. As yet, no county has. qGov. Mark 0. Hatfield took the commission to task for not using surplus food for welfare cases and those whose incomes are small ill the present period of i high unemployment. Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, D- Portland, author of the resolu tion, said, "This points up thi need for the governor's reorgani zation plan. We have been getting alibis and buck passing, so we now can't pinpoint the responsi bility on anybody. If we had the reorganization plan in effect. then we could blame the gov ernor." The Public Welfare Commission now is expected to come back with a request fo,' funds to put the policy in effect. BAKERSFIELD (UPI) - Preg lElnt Dixie Elaine Lindscv. 23.

Mark Hat field's charges against the state Public Welfare Commission will begin with a public hearing here! at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. This annorneement was made Wednesday by Reps. Norman Howard, chairman of the House State and Federal Affairs Com mittee, and Grace Peck, chair man of the House Public Health and Welfare Committee. The two committees were asked by House Speaker Robert B. Dun can to investigate the governor's charges. He has accused the commission of being incompetent in financial administration, and with failure to follow his orders for a statewide surplus food and work relief program. Howard and Mrs. Peck, both Portland Democrats, said the wit nesses at the hearing would in clude members of the commis sion, members of the legislative interim committee on welfare, Welfare Administrator Jeanne Jewett, and Gov. Hatfield or his representative. They said that the general pub lie could testily, but only after individuals first get permission from the committee.

McCarty, service division manager for the Oregon Department of Vet-1 erans fltiairs. said loaay. Application for the exemption, which amounts to $7,500 of the true cash value of the property, must. be filed with the county assessor on or betore April 1 of each year, McCarty said. He cautioned applicants not to wait until the last day, however, because April 1 fulls on a Saturday this year and the law makes no provision for extending the deadline. Per sons entitled to the exemption include: 1. War veterans w ith disabilities of 40 per cent or more as certi fied by the Veterans Administra tion or the Armed Forces, re gardless of the amount of thcii income. Unremarried widows of war veterans, regardless of income Pensioned widows of Spanish American war veterans Ret an extra $500 exemption. 3. Spanish-American war veter ans, regardless of disability or in. come. Veterans whose 40 per cent dis abilities are certified by a private physician and the countv health officer, rather than by the VA or the Armed fortes, are also en titled, but in these cases they must not have received more than (2,500 total gross income in the past year. Further information is available from county assessors, county service ofliccrs. or the Depart ment of Veterans' Affairs in Salem or Portland. Gophers On Increase In County Pocket gophers now on the in crease in Klamatn county are found in practically every part of Oregon, but are most numer ous and destructive in the culti vated valleys of the state. Of the various species of pocket gophers in Oregon, the one known as tho mountain species occurs most frequently in Klamath Coun ty. These gophers attain a length of from seven to nine inches and have heavy shoulders and slout forelegs armed with strong claws used for digging. Large powerful gnawing teeth are also used for digging. On each side of the head is a fur-lined pouch that opens. externally, instead of into the mouth, ns in the case of the squir rel. Colors van- from brownish: yellow to dark brown. Pocket gophers are especially fond of alfalfa fields and may spend tht-ir entire life there, lit erally honey-combing the field with their burrows. Much of the alfalfa may be ruined .and difficulty in controlling irrigation water is of ten encountered. The loose mounds of earth thrown up by the gophers add to the depredations of these pests but these may be used to mark the course of the tunnets when control measures are under taken. Food consists mainly of rools, nlfalfa and clover roots probably being the most desirable to the gopher, however, they do feed on other roots, including vegetables as well as other crop plants. wnere only a small area is infested persistent use of a few special gopher traps will 'usually give the desired results. On large areas, trapping is too slow and ex pensive and poisoning is the bet ter method. Fresh carrots make an excellent bait when cut into pieces Vt" x i" x 2'-.", and dusted with strychnine alkaloid at the rate of one level teaspoon of strychnine to each quart of fresh cut bait. Cairot pieces may be put into a paper sack, or a can having a tight lid (a two-pound coffee can is good) and shaken and turned until the poison is evenly distributed over all the pieces. The bait is then inserted into the runways by means of a probe, such as a sharpened wood stick. An excellent probe can be made of a piece of fc iron rod shaped like a cane, and having a rounded point. Probe between the mounds until a tunnel is located and insert a piece of bait, which being smaller than the probe hole should drop well into the burrow. Burrows eight to 12 inches in depth are the best to bait since these are more likely to be main runways and used most frcquenl ly by the gophers. One or two pieces of bait is sufficient per hole. Baits should be placed 10 to 12 feet apart, two or three baits are usually enough for eachi series of mounds if main runways I are baited. 14 witnesses before the jury Tues day including Lindsey who was inside the closed chambers for about an hour. Lindsey was sentenced last Fri day to death for the kidnap sex- slaying of Rose Marie. He was taken from jail this morning un der escort of Chief Criminal Dep uty Sheriff Loren G. Fote for transfer to San Quentin Prison. Although Lindsey confessed to choking and raping the girl, he accused his wife of inflicting a fatal beating with a lug wrench. Rose Marie's head was nearly crushed from 19 blows. Mrs. Lindsey has claimed that Lindsey forced her from their auto after the kidnaping. She said Lindsey drove into a lonely field where he assaulted the girl whose body was discovered five days later following the couple's arrest near Livermore. Nelson said he was "convinced Mrs. Lindsey was present and did the beating." Washington Man Is Found Guilty PORTLAND (AP) Ernest "Duke" Arnold, 33, of Dalicsporl Wash., was convicted of .threei narcotics counts Tuesday by a U.S. District Court jury. Police said Arnold has been ar rested and charged man' times before with narcotics violation. but never before was convicted of the charges. He was convicted Tuesday of sale, possession and transportation of heroin. Arnold was one of 13 men in dicted in December by a federal grand jury here. Two others of the 13 have been convicted. Sentence was deferred pending a pre-sentence investigation. New federal laws make a minir:um five-year prison term mandatory lor narcotics convictions. dickering for use of the vast tract Northeastern Oregon. There were reports that Boeing would build on the site facilities for manufacture of rocket propellant. Hatfield said the lease applica tion resulted from negotiations between the company and the state. He said that Boeing cannot predict the extent of its activities at the Boardman site. "Nevertheless," Hatfield said, "I believe we a r e fully justi fied in calling this the most sig nificant industrial development in many years." Hatfield said he could give no figure on the development, but said it could run into millions of dollars. He said that the lease would be for 80 years and provide for the use of the site for industrial, re search and development purposes Annual rental of $60,000 adjusted to 10-year intervals to reflect in flationary factors will be paid for the land, he said. Hatfield said the impact on the Oregon economy will be felt in new wealth and payrolls, in ex pansion of trade and service in dustries, in new income for local and state governments. Perhaps the most important thing, he said, is that Oregon now is solidly in the space age with a prime aerospace technology in dustry. Boeing's occupancy of the site and the start of the rental pay ments will begin when the state completes acquisition by moving the Navys practice bombing range to Northern Lake County, he said. Boeing will assume costs of mov ing, he said. Hatfield said it was hoped that the transfer will be completed well in advance of an initial dead line of Dec. 20, 1961, specified in the lease application. Hatfield included in his confer-l 100,000-acrei remote and largo location. 'The company believes that; testing bieger and more powerful power plants of different types is! a key requirement lor progress in the aerospace field," a Boeind release said. Such activities would involve high energy rocket fuels or even nuclear engines. Boeing said while it had no spe cific plans, for immediate use of the site it felt it would be ad vantageous to have the site avail able. "Current Boeing aero-space di vision activity includes major re sponsibilities in the Air Force's Bomarc, Minutcman and Dyna Soar programs. Although it is not a manufacturer of rocket engines, it has sought work in booster as sembly and booster- stages for very high thrust space vehicles. Boeing said its interest in the Boardman area stemmed from its accessibility. It is on the Colum bia River and is served by a near by highway and a main rail line. The Columbia River in the area accommodates large barge traffic. Hatfield said the state goal was a company in the forefront of space exploration programs and activity, and he added that in Boe ing the slate nas a icnam urn- nently qualified. Hatfield said tne state agency that handles the lease presum ably the Land Board would pay the taxes on the new land. He said Boeing would pay the taxes on improvements on the property. The state now gets 8 cents an acre lor leasee, came lanas in Lake County and the $60,000 rev enue at Boardman would be con siderably more than this, he said. The Boiirdnian Bombing Range is a 96,000-acre tract, but Hatfield said the addiUonal 4.000 acres was added by the state. He said private land holdings were ac quired to insure the river-froni area for the property. Straub Critical Of Durno Vote SALEM (AP)-State Sen. Rob ert Straub, D-Eugene, today said U. S. Rep. Edwin R. Durno, R- Ore., voted against Oregon's best interests in opposing an increase in the size of the House Rules Committee. Straub, the Oregon Democratic Party chairman, said Durno voted against the interests not only ol the nation but of the Southwest Oregon area he represents. I am shocked that Rep. Durno would join -hands with the reac- lionary Southern Democrats in an attempt to thwart President Ken nedy's dynamic legislative pro gram," Straub said. The proposal to increase the number of persons on the com mittee was approved by five votes: 217-212. Laborers Win 35-Cent Hike PORTLAND (AP) The Asso ciated General Contractors and tho T.ahnrprs Union said todav they have agreed on a new tlirce year contract covering some 5,000 union members employed by 200 AGC member firms in Oregon and Southwestern Washington. These firms are working on highway, utility and heavy con struction projects with a total val ue of about 65 million dollars. . The contract, effective Jan,;l, provides for a 15-cent hourly wage increase this year and a 10-cent increase for each of the next two years. It also provides for -the elimination of the transportation reimbursement. A. H. Harding, AGC manager, . said the details of the agreement are now being distributed to mem ber firms of the AGC.
