State Forced Into Business ; PORTLAND (AP) - The Stat of Washington does not want to get into the power business but may be forced by circumstances, director Earl Coe of that state's Department of Conservation and Development said Friday, - Coe told the Bonneville Power Administration Regional Advisory Council a shortage of firm power needed by new Industries may push tlie state into the electrical game. Washington is considering a plan to obtain electrical power In connection with the operation of the atomic reactor at Hanford. The U.S. House of Representa tives refused to appropriate funds for such a project, which would have used the heat generated by the reactor to power steam plants producing electricity. Coe said the state might raise about half the estimated $92 mil lion cost via bond issues but still would need Congressional author ity and appropriations. QUARTER HOUSE 813 E.

Phone Wire - - Damage Low Contrary to the hue and crv of malicious conduct on the part of nunters in Oregon this year, Paci fic Northwest Bell reports that so far in 1961 gunshot damage to telephone wires, cables and other equipment is at a record low. 'Four years ago we had more than 150 separate cases of sun- shot damage in the state," said Klamath Falls manager, A. B. Dickerman. Since then the damage has been decreasing yearly, until there have been only about a dozen cases in 1961. And most of these came before hunting season began. "We believe that most hunters are aware that shooting a wire or cable can be more serious than the inconvenience to users or the company's expense in repairing it. The real danger is that emergency calls for fire, an ambulance, the doctor or a policeman won't get through. Not to mention the vital national defense communications that travel via (ho long distance lines," said Dickerman. Nurses Install New President PORTLAND (AT) Barbara J.

In Klamath County, this source ot revenue lurnisnes aoout i per cent of the total highway depart ment revenue. The apportionment of 19 per cent motor vehicle fund li cense plate and driver's license sale receipts, and related fund items. This source of revenue fur nishes about 45 per cent of total county highway receipts Gas tax r e c e i p t s amount to about two per cent of the total A "revolving trust fund" that brings the remaining 11 per cent. Most of this revenue comes trom contract work, or special services performed by the highway depart ment for other agencies of gov ernment within the county. Kalinoski explained that the county court has the power to levy five mills for highway department Staqed Car Crash tied To Barnard PORTLAND (AP) A govern ment testified Friday that George; James Barnard, one of ten defendants in a mail fraud trial, was connected with a staged auto mobile accident in Portland.

Walker, the con troversial former commander of the 24th Infantry Division, Is headed for a staff, job in (' Pa cific command. The Asmy in a terse ani .njnce- mcnt Friday said that Walker would go to Hawaii next month to become assistant chief of staff for operations, .plans and training in the Pacific command. Walker was officially admon ished by the Army in June. He was relieved of command of the 24th Division in Germany in April and returned to the United States recently to await reassignment. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara told the Senate armed services committee in September that Walker was admonished for two reasons: 1. Conducting an indoctrination program that included inflam matory and derogatory state ments" about former public offi cials, including former President Harry S. Truman. 2.

TU 2 5536 the objective of the court and the department Is to waive the levy and depend on sources of revmiue other than property tax es. The engineer called attention to some of the activities of the de partment. Klamath County road improve ments in the past year have amounted to approximately tfiOO.- 000. Included were about 20 miles of paving, and the taking over of 28 additional miles of un- paved and unimproved roads in the county system. In addition. four miles of existing paved high way were improved under the program. In addition to the maintenance and construction work performed on county highways, the depart ment also engages in contract work for other agencies in the c o u n ty, including the various cities, the engineer explained. Klamath County public road sys tem embraces some 1,600 miles. Of this total, about 800 are in the county road system, and 800 are known as public roads. While the county is not required to maintain the latter group of roads, they do lie within the jurisdiction of the county, Kalinoski explained. He added that a "county road" is one that is under the jurisdiction of the county court for administra tive and operation purposes. The highway department pro vides services for other county agencies, such as the county parks system, the planning com mission, and the welfare depart ment, he said. , Internally, the department em ploys 90 persons on a steady basis, and that number increases to 104- 105 during the peak employment in summer months. Of a total budget of $1,156,000 this year, about $450,000 goes into Durchase of supplies, locally, he said. In recent months, effort is being made to get the highway depart ment out of politics entirely, Kal inoski said. This attempt is being directed through the activities of the Roads Advisory Committee, a group of five interested citizens of the county. They include Don Hummel. Fritz Markwardt, Fran cis Landrum, Jim Kerns Jr., and Al Cheyne, The advisory group has devised "formula of eligibility" to deter mine minimum requirements that must be met before any road or piece of road is admitted to the county highway system. This de vice has removed consideration of roads on a "convenience" basis, or pressure basis, and put admit tance strictly on a public need basis, he explained. Kalinoski said that the depart ment is operated strictly under a cost accounting system that is a model" in the state. The sys tem will be explained fully at a meeting of the Association of Ore gon Counties in November. Lapine Gets REA Loan By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Jealous Husband o Upsets Young Wife By ANN LANDERS Dear Ann Landers: I'm 17, have been married 14 months and have a small baby. My husband is 19 and he doesn't act anything like he did when we were dating. I can't believe he's the same guy. He's so jealous of me I feel like a prisoner. When he's home he insists on answering the tele phone. If it's a wrong number he accuses me of having a boy friend. Last night he went through my picture album and tore up ev ery picture he could find of me with someone else. Some were group pictures of kids I went to school with. After that display of rotten temper I decided I wasn't going to take any more of his hate- fulness. I phoned my father and asked him to come for me and the baby. I want to get a di voice and start over, what is your advice? DELTA GIRL Dear Girl: Start what over another hideous mess? Here you are at 17, married to a hot-tempered adolescent, the mother of a child, and at ready eyeing the divorce court as the big magic which will solve all your problems. It won't. It would only free you to make another horrible mistake. You need time to grow up and so does that active volcano who calls himself a husband. My advice Is to stay apart for few weeks then see a marriage counselor or a clergyman togeth. er for advice on how to make a success of your marriage. Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I run a small store. We've been in business almost 10 years and have done well. We are open four evenings a week and the hours are wearing, but we have an excellent inventory, a healthy bank account and a wonderful trade. The trouble is we are both dead tired because we've never had a vacation.

What good is success if ft makes a prisoner of you? If Aroie refuses tell him you're go ing alone and that you'll send him' postcards. Then do it. Dear Ann Landers: Our sister has always been a strong indi vidualist. She has ridiculed con ventionality all of her life and has brought up her daughters the same way. Please understand that we are not sitting in judgment. All we want' is advice on a pressing problem. This sister's oldest daughter (now 18) is pregnant with her second out-of-wedlock child in two years. There is no father in sight. The mother has invited us to a baby shower next week. She said "Lydia is her sixth month and she needs clothing for the baby." Our husbands say a baby show er under these conditions is a mockery and we should not go. What do you say? SISTERS Dear Sisters: A baby shower is designed to honor a girl who is anticipating a happy event. In this case I see nothing to celebrate nor anyone to be hon ored. Send a gift of clothing for the baby but stay home.
