Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Sad news comes from the hunt ing country as the first week of the Oregon deer season nears its Price Ten Cents 16 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER S, 1I Telephone TU 4-81 U No. 6810 end. Fires both campfires and warming fires are being left LI FHUU Ml burning, instead of being extin guished before leaving, as they should be. Fences are being cut WW m at M Livestock is being wantonly am SAJtft MM killed. A patrolman on private prop erty reports that he asked a hunt er to leave the ranch. Whereupon the "hunter" thrust the muzzle of his rifle into the patrolman's mid riff and growled: "You'll have to throw me off." On another ranch, a length of fence was cut alongside a locked gate to admit a hunter's car. One farmer reports that he asked hunter not to drive through small fenced pasture containing livestock. The hunter then backed off, rammed his jeep through the wire fence and drove through the fpasture. -' And so on. Hunting is SPORT. If hunters are to be hoodlums and vandals, there is no excuse for hunting in an age when it is far cheaper to buy meal at the meat counter than to go out in the woods and shoot it. What to do about it? It is obviously impossible to hire Wardens and patrolmen enough to watch all the hunters who go into the woods. There are tens of thousands of them. Neith er the states nor the owners of private property can afford the cost that would be involved in watching every hunter, or even every hunting party. It may be the SPORTSMEN hunters will have to take the situ ation in hand if the hunting privi lege is to be preserved. How? Maybe the vandal hunter should be OSTRACIZED. If he knew that no sportsman would ever speak to him again, it might restrain him from' vandalism.

(AP) The United States and the So- viet Union were reported agreed1 today on U Thant of Burma as temporary U.N. secretary-general! but many problems remain. Informed diplomats said the1 chief of Burma's U.N. delegation Courthouse Bid Awarded The county court today award ed the bid for construction of the addition to the present courthouse to a Portland firm, James S. Hickcy Inc. on a low basic bid basis of $414,795. Highey said he will use eight local subcontractors on the work. The eight are: excavating, Don Miller; masonry, Moore and Son; roofing, either Fitzgerald or Hen ris Roofing; sheet metal, Kimes Plumbing and Heating; glass and glazing, Russell Glass Company; ceramic tile, Frank Goodman: plumbing and heating, Brown Plumbing and Heating Company. In letting the bid. Commission er Frank Ganong said, "We are real happy to see all these local subcontractors." Hickey himself said that this is a policy of his organization be cause his company averages about 60 per cent of their busi ness outside Portland. Next lowest bidder was George Moore and Associates of Portland, whose bid was only $155 higher than the successful bidder. Under Hickey's bid, the com pletion date is set for Sept. 30, 1962. although he indicated that he hoped to accomplish the work in just eight months. Trains Hit; 25 Killed HAMBURG, Germany UPI 'A speeding electric elevated train c rammed with passengers 'rammed into a parked work train loaded with a 20-ton steel girder German history. Fire department officials super vising the rescue work counted at least 25 dead among a tangled mass of human remains. At least 48 others were injured, some so seriously that surgeons performed on the spot amputa tions at the wreck scene. The bodies were so badly man gled that the dead were counted only by heads.

A U.S. spokesman said, howev er, that Ambassador Adlai . Stevenson conferred on Thursday with U Thant. It the agreement Ik affirmed, still to be worked out are the two basic questions of how the interim official is to be elected and what ritis powers will be. ' The late Dag Hammarskjold ran the executive branch of the world peace body. But the Soviets who fought to unseat the Swedish diplomat up to the very hour of his death in an African plane crash, want to surround the tem porary official with advisers. Before leaving for Washington and talks with President Kenne dy, Soviet Foreign Minister An drei A. Gromyko threw cold wa ter on a small nations' plan to name an interim secretary-gener al with five assistants in place of the Soviets controversial troi ka plan. ,, We think three is best," Gro myko reiterated to reporters. Presumably this would call for naming undersecretaries from the United States, Soviet Union and neutral nation to work in close concei t with the acting secretary general. The advisers would have no veto. If Ambassador U Thant gets the top post, this probably would result in an executive composed of a Communist and two neutrals with only one representative from the West. . Both the U.S. and Soviet dele gations denied earlier diplomatic reports that they had agreed in the main on a method of select ing the temporary secretary-general. Diplomats from the smaller na tions, who have been trying to work out a formula agreeable to both sides, had said the two big powers agreed through intermedi aries on two points but that both hinted on eventual agreement on other points of difference. No Fireworks Expected At Gromyko Meet WASHINGTON (API - Presi dent Kennedy meets Soviet For eign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko today, seeking to learn if there has been any significant change1 in the Soviet position on Berlin. But U.S. officials did not expect the session, set for late afternoon at the White House, to provide a dramatic opening for peaceful set tlement of the long-festering Ger man dispute. Kennedy is prepared to listen to any fresh instructions Gromyko may have received from Moscow and to prod the Soviet minister for further explanation of the So viet position on Berlin. . Kennedy also wasOeady to re- emphasize to Gromyko Western determination not to yield on Bcr lin rights a message Gromyko will likely relay to Soviet Premier Khrushchev when Gromyko re turns to Moscow Sunday Another matter that may come up in their conversation is the Allies Shots BERLIN (AP)-The three West ern Allies sharply protested today to the Soviets against two shooting ncidents involving Communist East German police in Berlin's French sector. British Commandant Sir Rohan Delacombe called on his Soviet counterpart, Col. Andrei I. Solov yev, to deliver the protest on be half of all three Western comman dants, an Allied spokesman an nounced. Delacombe told Solovyev that the incidents resulted from "dan gerous and irresponsible action" by the East Berlin Communist po lice. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, President Kennedy's personal representative in Berlin, this morning made an on the spot inspection of the dan gerously tense sector the Bern auerstrassc. The street, divided by the Com munist-built wall now cutting through Berlin, has been the scene of two shooting incidents in the last two days. The State Department in Wash ington has called on Soviet author ities to avoid shooting incidents on the Berlin border. Max Maron, the East German1 Communist interior minister, sent sharply worded protests to West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt and the French commandant, Gen, Jean Lacomme over the shooting He said any more sucTTincidents will be "a threat to peace." Clay had discussed the explosive situation with Brandt before the mayor flew off on a three-day vis it to New York. Today, Clay drove to Bernauer- strasse. With an aide, he walked the whole one-mile length of the street occasionally going right up to the wall erected- by the Com Care Asked Of Hunters Foresters and fire prevention organizations in the Klamath Ba sin joined today to urge huntersl to use extreme care with fire over the weekend. While a cooling trend is expected and some light showers are forecast, Wi- ncma National Forest officials pointed out that the forest fuels are extremely dry. The change in weather will bring gusty winds which will cause rapid spread of any fire that may occur. Hunters are particularly cau tioned about the use of warming fires. Avoid building fires in any material which cannot be readily extinguished. Clear an area to! bare soil around the fire spot. Completely extinguish every fire before it is left. The fire on Scott Creek which occurred Wednesday of this week demonstrated the rate at which a fire will spread under these ex tremely dry conditions. United Nations. The Soviet Union and the United States were report ed Thursday night to be in agree ment on a candidate for tempo rary U.N. secretary-general, a successor for the late Dag Ham marskjold. The candidate reported by in formed diplomats to be accepta ble by both Moscow and Washing ton is U Thant of Burma. Gromyko said Thursday he may bring up the whole subject of U.N. leadership when he calls at the While House. Kennedy plans only a single ses sion with Gromyko. The Presi dent's schedule allowed for a meeting of about two hours before he was due at a state dinner be ing given by visiting President Ferik Ibrahim Abboud of Sudan. Secretary ot State Dean Rusk will sit in at the conference. It I follows three exploratory talks Rusk held with Gromyko in New I York.

Gunshots rang out for the third time within 36 hours Thursday UAR Death Conceded By Nasser CAIRO (API President Nasser, virtually conceding the death of his United Arab Republic, says he will not oppose efforts of the revo lutionary Syrian regime to join1 the United Nations and the Arab League. In a dramatic address whose conciliatory tone astounded ob servers in Cairo, Nasser declared "there is no need for a political or diplomatic blockade of Syria because the Syrian people would suffer. Only a short time before. the Cairo press had been denounc ling the rebclj-'as imperialists. The address at first delighted the Syrian revolutionaries, and Syrian Premier Mamoun Kuzbari offered Egypt the hand of friend ship. But he took a new, skepti cal attitude this morning. A Damascus broadcast quoted Kuzbari as saying Nasser agreed not to oppose Syrian membership in the United Nations only be cause he realized it was inevita ble. Kuzbari said Syria had been promised tree elections and our only wish is that the Egyptian people would have the same op portunity." Nasser, speaking slowly and with deep emotion, said that Cairo will not recognize any Damascus government "until the free will of the Syrian people is manifested and she herself decides her path." Judge Walker III At Hospital County Judge Robert R. Walk er was taken to Klamath Valley Hospital at 2:45 p.m. Thursday with recurring hemorrhages in the nose area, according to Mrs. Walker. He is reported in satisfac tory condition. Walker became ill when he and Mrs. Walker were packing to go to Portland for this weekend's Congressional Committee hearings on national forest areas. He will be confined to the hos pital for several days, his wife said. He suffered from a similar attack two years ago. No plans have been made for another separate Rusk-Gromyko meeting. Officials stressed, how ever, that this depends entirely on Gromvko. If he wants one, the State Department is ready to go along. The objects of these sessions is to find out if the Soviets are will ing to negotiate on terms accepta- kl- In tkn Wad ' U.S. sources said Gromyko has not yet spelled out the Kremlin position sufficiently to enable the1 Western powers to decide whether fruitful East-West negotiations are possible. For one thing, the Sovi ets have not been precise on how their proposed peace treaty with Communist East Germany ould affect West Berlin rights which the West deems vital. American authorities will scan closely Khrushchev's forthcoming policy speech to the Communist pjrty congress, which opens In Moscow Oct, 17, They believe he when Red police fired warning! shots at a West Berlin policeman! and at a workman laying a ca ble who stepped across the for bidden line into the Eastern sec tor. East Berlin police also en gaged in a rock fight with jeer ing West Berliners. Mayor Willy Brandt of West Berlin asked the Western powers for authority to increase his 15,000 man police force as . tension mounted along the barricades di viding the city. The latest flareups began when a Communist policeman was woujided Wednesday night. West Berlin police said they opened fire when shots fired by Red po lice at fleeing refugees whizzed by them. East Germany sent a stiff pro test to Brandt and to French au thorities in Berlin. The shooting occurred in the French sector. The U.S. State Department held that the West Berlin police were justified in shooting back in self defense and called on the Soviet authorities to tell East Berlin po lice to avoid shooting incidents which could jeopardize peace and public order." The gun play aroused West Ber liners to the same angry mood they displayed when the Commu nists first erected their concrete and barbed wire wall in mid August to halt the escape of East ,tGermansv' ""' ."'"" Crowds surged up (o the border and began hurling rocks at East German police. The East Ger mans threw rocks back at the crowd. West Berlin police tried to herd the crowds into side streets When a Western policeman went to the wall and demanded the Communist police "stop that nonsense ot Bombarding the crowd with rocks, a Red police man fired a pistol shot into West Berlin. No one was hit.: Swede Takes Atomic Post VIENNA, Austria (AP) A Swedish nuclear scientist, Dr. Sigvard Eklund, was inaugurated as director-general of the East West International Atomic Ener gy Agency today.-The Soviet chief delegate, Vasily Emelyanov, walked out in protest after a sharply worded attack on Eklund and the Western powers. The remainder of the Soviet delegation stayed in the hall. Emelyanov, in a statement im mediately before Dr. Eklund was sworn in, declared the election would have "very negative conse quences for the agency." He added that Eklund "will not enjoy the support of the Socialist countries as IAEA director-general. He charged the election had been "railroaded by the Western majority in the agency. might shed some light in the speech on any change in -Soviet policy toward Berlin and Ger many. Channels for continued U.S. -Soviet exploratory conversations also remain open at lower levels, Among U.S. representatives who might conduct such discussions was Llewellyn Thompson, U.S. ambassador to, Moscow, who was due in Washington today for con sulfations. He will return to Mos cow by Oct. 17. " Officials were confident that the recotit exchanges of gunfire be tween East and West Berlin police would not influence the Kennedy- Gromyko cofcrcnce.

Apportion Meet Called By Boivin Senator Harry Boivin, president of the Senate, today issued a call to all representatives and sena tors from Eastern Oregon counties to attend a special meeting ar ranged for Saturday, Oct. 14, at 10 a.m. at the Pilot Butte Inn at Bend, He slated that he had contact ed all legislative members of the Eastern Oregon areas and indi cations are that almost complete representation of the area will at tend the vital session which will deal with repapportlonment plan proposed by Secretary of State Howell Appling. Following a ruling of the State Supreme Court that the reappor- ionmcnt plan adopted by the re cent Legislature did not conform to the state constitution, Appling submitted another plan which would meet the court's objections, but which, Boivin declared, would be extremely detrimental to the interests of Eastern Oregon. Under the plan, for instance, Klamath County would retain its1 state senator, but would share one of its representatives with Lake County. The most severe objec tions, however, arose in other areas of Eastern Oregon where they would lose representatives in many cases, and counties would be lumped together for represcnta Live purposes. In calling the special meeting to cope with the problem, Boivin said the session would start exam ining the situation to see what ould be done. "There is a possi bility," Boivin said, "that if this continues. Eastern Oregon is really going to suffer. Our area, he continued, "is dominated by Portland and the more thickly populated areas already. Boivin said, in nis opinion, pop ulation should be represented, but1 it Is equally Important that area should be represented also. He recalled that he represented five counties when he first went to the Legislature as a representa tive. "It is not good for the peo ple In those areas," Boivin stat- Bulletin CHILOQL'IN henneth Kchoonover, Chlloquln chief of police, died shortly before noon at his home Friday He had suf fered a heart attack early Fri day morning and died of a sec ond attack. ed, "when too big an area is in cluded per- representative. Dif ferent areas have different prob lems, and one person cannot ade quately cover them." Boivin also commented that the fcdoral plan wlu'ch would reshape the Legislature on the basis of the two houses of Congress offers some promise. He also said that Nevada and California both have legislative plans that offer better, representation than does Oregon's arrangement. ' ' If we don t get proper repre sentation, we could suffer econom ically," he commented, "both tax- wise and in other ways."' Boivin wasn t too concerned about what the reapportionment plan would do to Klamath County since it would not decrease the number of representatives, but rather would broaden one to cover Lake County also. However, he said, "Lake County would be much better off with a representative of its own."

(AP) - House Speaker Sam Rayburn, suffering from extensive cancer, looks a lit tle better today, his physicians said.
