Herrera Convicted Of Burglary Eight women and four men de liberated six hours Tuesday, then returned a verdict convicting Ysmacl C. (Smiley) Herrera of burglary. Herrera, 19-year-old Klamath Falls youth, had been accused of breaking into the home of Albert E. Crank, 2130 Vine Street, the night of Sept. 15 with the intent of committing assault and battery. Ten of the 12 jurors agreed on the guilty verdict which was an nounced at 11:30 p.m. by foreman Paul W. Duffy of Klamath Falls. The trial lasted only two days. Herrera admitted breaking into the house but said the reason was to get evidence to use against his ex-wife, Delores Marie Tracy, 20. Herrera said he wanted to have their divorce decree modified so that he could have the right to see their two small daughters. Miss Tracy testified that she was in the house with Crank when Herrera came in with a 17-year-old youth. She said she didn't allow Herrera to see the children because "he always causes trou ble." Judge David R. Vandcnberg will sentence Herrera Friday morning Man Caught With Food A transient from Texas was arrested by city police early Sat urday morning for being in pos session of some food that had been reported stolen from the Dog House Drive-In, 1515 South Sixth Street. A bakery truck driver, Louis Borgelli, making his morning rounds, told police a window had been broken at the drive-in. Po lice checked and found the place had been entered by someone who stole a red plastic tray, some chicken, cheese, hamburger, ham and hamburger buns. Police went to a nearby "hobo jungle" where they found T. W. Woods, 29, of Texas, with the food on the plastic tray. Woods said he had bought and paid for the food. He was booked at the city jail on a charge of being in pos session of stolen property. Missing Cars Reported Here Two cars were reported miss- ing Monday to city police, one of them thought to be stolen. Gerald D. Case, 4226 Lakoport Boulevard, told police his 1951 grey Ford sedan with Oregon license number 9A-3197 bad been stolen Monday night from the vicinity of 1500 Gary Street. Virginia Pellcticr, 4826 South Sixth Street, said she loaned her car to an 18-year-old girl Monday night in Tulelake and it wasn't returned. The car was a 1950 tan Ford. East Side Appliance Co., 132 South Scvenlh Street, reported the Uiclt ot a red hand truck from the back of a pickup truck over the weekend.

More than 300 persons heard Aly Wassil address the Klamath Knife and Fork Club, largest crowd in the club's history. Wassil, one of a dying breed of professional philosophers, is a be- turbancd Pakistanian, and bears the distinction of once having been mistaken for Jesus Christ by a small child aboard an airplane. Wassil asked that his audience try to establish a relationship with him, not as East to West, but as 'one human being to another." He quoted at length from the Hindu philosopher Shankara and from the teachings and works of the "western" Bible. Wassil's line of reasoning teach es that since modern-day civiliza tion began in what we today term the Middle East, Rudyard Kip ling's famous quote, which holds that East is East and West is West and never the twain shull meet," is a falsehood. Similarity between the two cul tures, East and West, Wassil says, begins with their religions. The world's three great faiths, Juda ism, Christianity and Islam, all were born in this small geograph ic corner of the world. He said the entire area in which the great sagas of the Judeo-Christian Old Testament and the' Islam Koran took place is about the s'ize "of your own state of Oregon." Historically, Wassil said, there have been periods of understand ing and exchange between the two cultures, along with other periods, such as the Crusades, where each culture considered its "holy" duty to wipe the other from the face of the earth. Rut Wassil believes the philoso- Lions Auxiliary Starts Drive Collecting has started for the annual Klamath Falls Lions Club Auxiliary rummage sale slated for Oct. 26-27, according to Mrs. C. W. Davis, chairman. Proceeds from the sale will ben efit the auxiliary's eye program in Klamath rails, she announced. Club members will provide stor age space and pickup service for larger donated items. The sale is scheduled for Clyde's Towing Service.

He said that "belief in one God. common to all three religions, was the greatest theory in all history, Wassil termed Islam "the daugh ter of Christianity the same as Christianity is the daughter of Ju daism. The similarities between the two exist, he said, primarily from a psychological and historical point of view. All three religions are tied together on their concepts of God, their insistence on the mor al and ethical life and their insist ence on prayer, he said. Wdssil emphasized that, certain ly, differences do exist between the three great religions, but said the whole impact of human re lations depends upon differences in, philosophies and beliefs." He said the great military and economic alliances in today's world were "a poor basis upon which to build a lasting relation ship." "Human relations," he said, "cannot be based on anything that can be manufactured or on any thing that any government can do. It must be an indefinable something that goes much deeper than that. Later, he termed this '"indefinable something," a spirit ual link between peoples. Wassil pointed out that religion and philosophy must go hand in hand, for either without the oth er produces confusion and pre vents communication between peo ple. Speaking of the study of philoso phies, Wassil said, "If you're go ing to find out about one of them. you must go to someone who real ly believes it." He said observing how religions are practiced by the masses is to no avail, "that does not show how it should be taught, just how it is being practiced." He said that philosophy differed from politics in this respect, "politics is a ques tion of counting heads, but cul tures must be studied from some one who really believes it." "Yogis," Wassil said, "believe that man is a noble creature with in himself and should cultivate himself and not just follow dog matic instruction." Wassil expressed great faith in America, saying that Americans have a child-like receptivity to new ideas. 'Every child," he said in con clusion, "comes into the world with the message that God has not yet despaired of man."

While here he spoke at Klamath Union High School and Oregon Technical In stitute, and conferred with forest service officials and others. Ullman referred to the Housing Bill as "the most compreliensive housing legislation in the history of the country." He predicted that we will feel its effect the next building season." This new construction will have a direct effect on the price of lumber, and will be of great benefit to Oregon's economy." Referring to other actions of Congress, Ullman stated, "We en acted more major legislation for the Kennedy Administration than has been enacted for any new president in history." It has also been a good year for the Second Congressional Dis trict," Ullman said, "with major new projects being carried for ward in all parts of the district." Leadership Course Set A Dale Carnegie leadership course will be held in the Klam ath Falls area with demonstration set for Thursday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. in the Camas Room at the Winema.

The four-hour meeting was held in the Pelican Cafe in Mamath Falls. Professors Harry K. Finney and Roy A. Young, who studied algae for five years, reported on their findings. They said algae kills fish, can cause botulism and has an unpleasant odor. They said nat ural water conditions are diffi cult to reproduce in the laboratory. Oregon Stale University facili ties were offered to the commis sion, which decided to meet with experts in the algae field and ar rive at an approach to the prob lem. It was also decHed that a long-term study was bet.er than a crash program. Commission members are Ken neth N. Phillips, federali repre sentative; Lewis A.

Malone Reservoir and the Link River. Kuiper said the Iron Gate Reservoir will be helpful in algae study. "We must approach the problem with caution," Kuiper warned. "Some fast solutions such as cop per sulphate would kill the algae but would also kill everything else." He said the states of Ore gon and California would work with the compact commission to develop a lasting solution. He add ed that this might take several years. Unusual conditions and occur rences in the area delay a per manent solution. Kuiper said. He labeled the Klamath River a backward stream. Most rivers originate in the mountains and flow to tne ocean, ruiper sain, but the Klamath River originates in flat lands, flows into the moun tains and then to the ocean. Up per Klamath Lake also acted un usually this year, he continued, because the algae content was low and died much earlier than is normal. FOR MEN AND WOMEN TU 4-3101 Taylor, Associate Sponsor
