MASQUERADE PLANNED For the fint time since 1925 the Klamath Falls Elks
are planning a masquerade party to be held in the lodge hall tor members only on
Oct. 28. Here Bill Evans, left, chairman of the dance committee, discusses with
Helen Smith, Julie Ann Dalton and Beverly Evans the decoration task for the big

Fallout Shelter Simple Task
Blast Protection More Difficult
Jt is relatively simple to build
adequate shelters to provide pro
tection from fallout radiation. But
it;;is very difficult to design a
shelter to resist blast effects. v
This was reported at the Uni
versity of Oregon by George F.
Andrews, associate professor of
architecture, after he returned
from an eight-week course in shel
ter planning at Pennsylvania State
University.
lie was one of 18 architects and
civil engineers who participated in
the course under a contract with
the U.S. Office of CivU and De
fense Mobilization. In November
he will go to the University of
Washington for two weeks to in
struct a group of architects and
engineers who will be making a
national shelter survey.
The survey will reveal what
shelter ureas are now available
to-, give protection against fallout
radiation. Andrews said it B
hoped that areas for 60 million
people might be found.
Fallout radiation should not be
confused with radiation from a
nearby nuclear blast, or the im
mediate blast effects, he said.
M explained that while some
fallout shelters might provide
sajiis blast protection, in general
thfcre Is no effective way to build
bl&st shelters for an appreciable
part of the population.

more protection from anti-missile
programs than investing in a large
blast shelter program, he con
tinued.
"For blast effects, there is such
a short warning time that many
people would not be able to reach
a blast shelter in time. But when
radiation increases from nuclear
bombing, it is possible to give
adequate warning time."
Chief problem in designing a
blast shelter is designing an ade
quate door, he said. But for a
correctly designed fallout shelter,
a door is not even necessary.
For those who might be consid
ering building a shelter at their
home, he advised that the aver
age person would be wise to con
sider only a fallout shelter.
He said it was the hope of the

A pet peeve of residents of Ore

It seems that a great number
of non Oregonians believe the
state's name should be pronounced
Ore-uh-GON with the accent on
the last syllable, rather than the
correct way ORE-uh-gun.
But when It comes to pronounc

some of the lesser known place

Navigators
Call Strike
NEW YORK (AP)-Navigators

strike today in a dispute with the
company over manning of over
seas flights but colled it off again
after the dificulty was cleared
up.
A Transport Workers Union
spokesman described the difficulty
as an attempt to break an agree
ment made earlier this week. A
company spokesman said it was a
simple misunderstanding.
The union is protesting test
flights involving semiautomatic
devices which, Hie union contends,
would replace 66 navigators on
overseas flights.
Earlier this week a presidential
emergency board was appointed
to study the dispute. This proce
dure normally bars a strike for 30
days.
A strike set for midnight Oct. A
was called off at Die last minute
after appointment of the board.

Race Trctt
PORTLAND (AP) The future
of Portland Mradews race track
is in deubt, its life threatened by
Oregen's state betting tax, David
K. Funk told the Oregon Racing
Commission Friday.
Funk, the principal stockholder
in the Meadows, a horse track
located in North Portland, said
the operation lost $100,000 this
season and has not paid stock
dividends in 15 years.
An effort by track operators to
get a tax reduction on pari-
mutuel betting failed in the last
legislature. Funk said that might
have been the death blow.
In a statement presented to the
commission Funk suggested that
if Gov. Mark O. Hatfield should
call a special session to set a
spring vote on daylight saving
time such a session has been
proposed that it also take up the
problem of how much to tax pari
mutuel betting.
Failing that, he said, the out
look was for one of these things:
No racing season in 1962 or lim
ited racing of perhaps two days
a week during the time dog racing
is held at nights on the dog track
east of Portland. They now have
separate dates. The third possibil
ity, he said, is breakup of the
212-acre (rant intoindustnal sites.
The Multnomah County Fau
nas shown some interest in a deal
for the Meadows as a new fair
grounds site, but Funk said there
has been no offer that he could
recommend to the stockholders
Funk said Seattle gets the best
horses because it pays bigger
purses. It can afford to do that,
he said, because the Washington
tax is less burdensome. Oregon
charges 5 per cent of the gross
wagers, increasing to 7 per cent
as the total goes up.
He said greyhound track inter
ests lobbied against the horse
track efforts in the legislature to
get the tax cut to 3 per cent. And
he warned that county fairs, which
get shares of the state's revenue
from racing taxes, would lose
money as a result.
Youth Held
In Murder
WHEATON, 111. (AP)-A mur
der indictment but not the death
penalty will be sought by the
state against Steven Schloneger,
13, the freckled, curly-haired boy
who has admitted the sex slaying
of his young neighbor, Yvonne
Elliott, 7.
State's Atty. William J. Bauer
said Friday that Schloneger will
be arraigned in Circuit Court
Monday on a charge of murder.
Bauer said he will present the
case to the grand jury when it
convenes later this month.
'We are dealing with a 13-year-
old boy," said Bauer, in announc
ing that he will make no effort to
obtain the death penalty. "Steven
is cither a vicious criminal or a
very sick kid," Bauer said. "In
any case, he is not fit to be a
member of society at this time."
The Schloneger boy is being
held In Du Page County Jail, tem
porarily charged with dclin
quency.
Officials Friday transcribed the
boy's account of how Yvonne was
slain Wednesday night while on
an errand for her father in near
by Elmhurst, a wester suburb of
Chicago.
"I just did it for a thrill. I
heard you could get a thrill from
it." the boy was quoted by Her
bert Merles, chief deputy sheriff.
Merles said that young Schlone
ger admitted he had lured the
girl into a vacant lot, stripped her
and bound her, then pushed her
face in a puddle when she cried
out against being sexually mo

Rotary Show
Brings Note
To Klamath
Klamath Falls is known in many
places throughout the world for
its Rotary sponsored Junior Live
stock Show, according to Loren
Palmerton, governor of district
511 Rotary International.
Palmerton talked to the Klam
ath Falls Rotary Club Friday, re
porting on his visits to the district
governors assembly at Lake Plac
id, N.Y., and to the meeting of
Rotary International in Tokyo.
He stressed the importance of
friendship and understanding
among the peoples of the world, as
fostered by Rotary Clubs through
out the free world.
He said that Rotary still is ac

tries other than their own for a
year of study, he reported. The
foundation is financed by gifts
from individual Rotarians.

of the club who also attended the
Tokyo convention, was chairman
of the day.

party and government leadership
the announcement said.
Kiss, a former foreign minister
and party secretary, took over the
post of secretary of the council
from Istvan Christof.

Court judge.
FOR MEN
AND WOMEN
It all started with a jw.
Or so the story goes. It was
a warm Sunday evening in Octo
ber, 1871. Mrs. O'Leary, a kindly
widow who occasionally took in
boarders, had gone to the barn for
evening milking chores.
When the bovine, whose name
is lost to antiquity, kicked over
the oil lamp, the dry straw on
the bam floor went up like tissue
paper in a hurricane.
The fire didn't seem particu
larly threatening or uncontrolla
ble. But it was.
Thirty hours later, 2,100 acres of
Chicago were a blackened, smol
dering waste. Over 200 persons
had perished before the creeping
wall of flame was stopped, 100,-
000 were homeless and 17,500
buildings were in ruins.
Knight Mum
Over Nixon
LOS ANGELES (UPI (-Former
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight regards
as pretty much of a closed issue
his verbal contest with former
Vice President Richard M. Nixon.
Knight indicated Friday he was
ready to start preparing his 1962
organization for the gubernatorial
primary in which he will oppose
Nixon.
The former governor said he
felt a contest would stimulate the
Republican party in California
despite whatever qualms GOP
leaders now have. r
"Republicans in the past usual
ly have run in the primary with
out opposition," Knight said, "just
as Nixon has in the state. Earl
Warren was unopposed, and so
was I the one time I ran lor
governor. Some Republicans are
inclined to shun the primary in
stead of regarding it as part of
our democratic procedure."
Earlier, Knight claimed Nixon
had an emissary offer him any
job in the state not to run for
governor. Nixon and the asserted
emissary denied Knight's charge.
Knight declined to comment on
Nixon party claim it was the
former governor who first tried
to get Nixon out of the contest
by offering to head Nixon's dele
gation in the 1964 national con
vention for president.
He said he also regarded this
issue closed.
Prison Finds
Small Arsenal
SAN QUENTIN (UPI)-A small
arsenal of weapons has been dis
covered in the lower yard of San
Quentin prison.
Prison officials said Friday that
the arsenal included honed table
knives, hatchets, lengths of pipe
several feet long, and 24 shille-laugh-type
bats made from table
and desk legs. The weapons were
found in various parts of the yard.
The discovery followed a brawl
in the lower yard last week, in
which a prisoner was killed by
multiple blows on the head.
Associate warden Dale Frady
said he thought the weapons were
not hidden for a break, but rather
in case of another free-for-all.
Frady said a certain amount of
tension exists at the prison. He
pointed out that San Quentin, with
a rated capacity of 2.700 inmates,
is currently holding 4.844.
He said a "Molotov cocktail"
was hurled into a cell earlier this
week, burning the lone occupant
on the arm. .
