school children turned into
nightmare of horror late Tues
day when a runaway car with a
dead man at the wheel roared
through the rear of the marchers
and plowed into spectators.

and wearing spook and goblin cos
tumes, were tossed into the air,
Older adults and youths were
knocked down "like a bunch of
tenpins."
Two elderly women were killed.
Twenty-three others, including 18
children, were injured.
Ironically, a t o w n fire engine
scheduled to follow the marchers
and protect them from traffic was
called out on a run as the pa
rade started.
Police identified the dead ai
Otto Erickson, 76, driver of the
13-year-old car which caused the
tragedy: Mrs. Harry Laird, 60,
Coon Rapids, Minn., and Mrs,
Georgia Dowdell, 79, Anoka.
Erickson was dead of an apparent
heart attack seconds before the
accident Mrs. Laird died at the
scene and Mrs. Dowdell died a
short time later in a hospital.
. Two children and an adult were
in critical condition.
The accident was all the more
tragic In that the annual pag
eant In this self-proclaimed "Hal
loween capital of the world" was

No Decision
On Primitive

MCCALL, Idaho (AP) - Rep
Gracie Pfost, D-Idaho, chairman
of a House public lands subcom
mil tee conducting hearings on
Senate-approved wilderness logis
lation, said her group will make
no decision until after the first of.

At the windup of a two day
hearing here Tuesday, Mrs. Pfost
said all views will bo consdered
and that no decision will be made
until after Jan. 31 when a reportl
is due from the Outdoor Recrea
tion Resources Review Commis
sion. She said she is one of four
congressmen on that commission.
The Senate passed a bill 78-8
last summer which sets aside wil
derness areas. Mrs. Pfost said the
House subcommittee is getting
public sentiment on that bill but
has other proposed measures, too.
Many opponents have said it
would be premature to enact
wilderness legislation until the
Outdoor Recreation Resources
Review Commission makes its
And Mrs. Pfost said tio auih
legislation would go through the
House until that report is made.
Mrs. Pfost and Rep. Arnold
Olsen, D-Mont., heard the testi
mony here Tuesday and Monday
and had another session scheduled
Wednesday in Montrose, Colo.
Olsen said major questions to
be answered revolve around how
much and how fast public domain
land should be converted to pri
vate ownership and whether mul
tiple-use leads eventually to pri
vate ownership and thus single
use.

You have pointed out, and cor

You seldom say anything, how

of cleanliness. They are sick, too.
My mother was one. She would
never shake hands with anyone
because she was afraid of
"germs." Her home was antisep

ant twice a day.
These clinical perfectionists use
such techniques to bolster their
egos. They try to be so flawless
that no one can find fault with

Headon Crash
Kills Two Men
BAKER (AP) The drivers of
two vehicles were killed Tuesday
evening in a headon collision on
Slate Highway 7 about five miles
southeast of Baker.
The victims were John Givens,
about 40, Baker and Airman l.C.
Ira L. Francis, 24, stationed with
the 821st Air Force Radar squad
ron at Baker.
State police said Givens' two
brothers, Roy, 44, and Rex were
hospitalized with injuries suffered
in the accident.
The accident brought Oregon's
1901 traffic toll to 416 the
highest ever recorded by this
date. The October toll was 48, in
the Associated Press tabulation.

in Oregon to attempt to set up In
accordance with the law an agri
cultural zoning district. The coun
ty planning commission has rec
ommended the county court set
up the district.
Emmet Rogers who resides
near West Salem, said in a
strongly-worded lotter to the coun
ty court at Dallas that the new
law shifts some of the burden of
property tax payments from one
class owners of large tracts of
land i to smaller owners and
residential and business proper
ties.
He said this contributes to a
"shrinking state tax base." He
said the law was full of inequali
ties, was vague and indefinite and
possibly unconstitutional.
After a series of public hear
ings last August the Polk court
planned to hold a final hearing
next month before taking action,
The proposed district covers only
a small part of Polk County.
