Victory Said Repudiation
tional Chairman William E. Millcrl
said today that Republican Donald
Clausen's election victory in Cali
fornia was "a sharp repudiation
of tlie policies of the Kennedy ad.
ministration."
In a special election held Tues
day. Clausen defeated Democrat
William Grader for the House scat
.from California's 1st District.
. Miller said in a statement: "De
i-pile the full supiwrt of the Prcsi
dent and the personal appearances
made by Interior Secretary Udall,
the Democratic candidate lost all
six of the district's counties, run
ning behind Clausen by about 14,
(Kid votes, according to the latest
reports.
"Clausen lias achieved a stun
ning comeback which is iurther
proof that .Republican fortunes are
definitely on the upgrade. The im
portance and significance of the
California victory can not be over
estimated." Rep. Bob Wilson, Calif., chair
man of the Republican Congres
sional Committee, called Clausen
victory "the first evidences of a
taxpayer revolt against the waste
of the New Frontier."
"The people of the country arc
becoming more and more fed up
every day with the big spenders
who care little about where tax
dollars come from or how they
are spent," Wilson said.
'The election by a substantial
majority of a Republican in Cal
ifornia s 1st District over one of
the prospective big spenders is the
first evidences of u taxpayer re
volt against the waste of the New
Frontier."
ncls, namely the principal and su
perintendent. Muldoon slated,
"This has been presented previ
ously through Riggers, principal
of the Eighth Street School, about
a month alter school opened.
Marshall McCunniff, school ad
ministrator, slated that he didn't
recall any such presentation. The
board went on to stale that they
would only hear a discussion of
the Eighth Street schedule after
the teachers had met with Mc-
Cunilf. If the problem is not re
solved lliere, the hoard will hold
a hearing on the subject, but they
will only hold the hearing it a!
least a majority of the teachers
appear at that time. The board
at first staled all the teachers!
would have to be present and
then modified that to a majority.
Muldoon slated he requested a
review of the schedule as "there
is an overload of work on the
teachers, which means they havj
nine periods a day with no breaks
, each teacher teaches seven
periods of the same subject plus
two extras.
Ira Buttcrficld, a resident of
the Deinorma School District, ap
peared before the board to re
quest a reconsideration by the
board concerning their recent rul
ing on acceptance of students
from the Deinorma District into
the Alturas School. Board chair
man, Robert Brooks, staled, "At
this point the board doesn't feel in
a position to reconsider.
The board stated at a recent
meeting that they would no longer
accept students from the Dei
norma School District to the Al
turas School. Fourteen students
are now enrolled from the Dei
norma District. The board accept
ed them for the current year but
stated they would not accept them
next year. The Deinorma District
maintains its own one room
school which now has eight stu
dents. The board has suggested
that fi the Deinorma parents
wan their students in the Alturas
District, they should vote to join
the Alturas tax district.
Butlerlield staled lhat he didn't
feel a vote in the district would
carry even though a group of
parents did want their students!
in the Alturas School. The Del
norma School District tax is 50
cents and the Alturas, $1.35.
MeCuniff, Alturas Elementary
School administrator, reported the
cafeteria is now operating at a
small margin of profit for the
(irst time.

Former Inmate Relates Atrocities
Against Anti-Communist Prisoners
MIAMI, Fla. LTD An Ameri
can w ho spent 39 months in Cuban
jails said today "atrocities that
would make your hair stand on
end" are being carried out against
anti-Castro prisoners who resist
Communist brainwashing.
The former prisoner, John Mar
lino, 59, came here to testify be
fore a special meeting of the
Inier-Amencan Commission on
Human Rights w hich is f inding
up a three-day investigation on
Cuban prison conditions. He de
nounced the State Department In
reporters, saying it had "failed to
help" the 23 Americans still in
Cuban jails.
Is there any reason for James
B. Donovan to pay millions ot
dollars to Castro for the Bay of
Pigs invaders without specilically
including the Americans in the
deal?" Martino asked. Ihese
Americans have become the for
gollen men in the ransom nego
tiations." Martino said one of the worst
Castro atrocities look place April
23, 1962, in La Cabana Prison
when more than l.iiOO inmates
rioted jn protest against attempts
lo force them to attend Commu
nist indoctrination classes.
"Guards rounded up the 200
ringleaders and forced them to
run a gantlet with 40 guards on
each side who viciously beat them
with bayonets, rifle buts and
chains and threw them into an
oudoor pit without ay medical
attention," Martino said, adding
that one of the ringleaders, a one
legged man, subsequently was
shot.
Martino was arrested July 23,
1959. 20 minutes alter he arrived
in Havana to do business for an
electronical engineering firm. He
said he never learned why he as
arrested and the U.S. Embassy
"only gave me promises of help
but nothing else." tlie embassy
later was closed.
Bonds Sold
For Bridge
SALEM (LTD The State
Highway Commission today sold
$12 million in bonds to finance
construction of the superstructure
of the Astoria bridge.
The bonds were sold at a net
inlerest rate of 2.9885 per cent to
Bank of America, and Frist Bos
ton Corp. and Associates.
Total interest cost of the bonds
sold today will be $6,276,025. the
commission said.
' Contracts for construction of the
bridge wiperslrcture are sched
uled lo be let during March. The
niperslructme Is estimated to cost
$10 million.
An M ft million contract fur con
flruclion ol the 32 bridge piers
was let last June.
Alter construction ol the super
structure, bids will be lrt for ap
proaches on both sides of the span
and other pro loots which will com

China's Atom
Drive Slowed
LONDON (LTD Red China's
progress toward becoming a nu
clear power has been considera
bly slowed down by Hie withdraw
al of all Soviet help, authoritative
tourers said today.
Until tiio ideological conflict de
veloped between the two giants o(
communism, Russia was aiding
Communist China in nuclear re
search for peaceful if not mili
tary uihws.
Now, even this small assistance
has stopped.
All Soviet-supplied nuclear reac
tors have remained, however, and
it is largely, if not exclusively
wilh Uieir help, that Red China
apparently has been producing
sullicicnt uranium to dale to work
up somo nuclear device neaiing
Hie experimental Mage.
Rut authoritative Niurces here
a;ree with L'.S. experts that it
will he some time yot before Red
China has an "operational" nucle
ar bomb, and many moie years
Moie site can muster the vehi
cle tn deliver the deterrent.
These conclusions are based on
lalest available inhumation to
reach here through the llambon
Curtain.
Hie analysis of available Infor
mation to dale suggests, the
snuu-cs said, that Red China has
boon working (or a long lime on
the nuclear problem and rant in-
lies to do so.
If nt whether Peking Is hurrying
the Issue as a fust rale priority
is a mailer for conjecture. Some
cei'ts doultf it.

Christmas Bird Count Notes 119 Species In Klamath Basin Area
By KKX .Mcl.KOl)
A total of 119 species of birds
were noted by members and
friends of the .Nature Society dur
ing the lata 10-day Christmas
oDscrving period held from Dec.
19 to Jan. 1. This was -the 15th
..nnual study made by the Nature
.Society covering winter bird life
in the Klamath Basin. Dec. 29
was the one day taken for a
Christmas census when every
bird seen in the area is count
ed and recorded by species. This
one day record tallied 21,233 birds
in tw species. Twenty six people
devoted their time to make this
study possible.
This bird watching study con
ducted by the Nature Society takes
in a cross-section of the Klamath
Basin from Crater Lake to the
Modoc Lava Beds and covers an
area around 300 square miles in
extent.
The outstanding character of
this year's study was the fact
that birds were lower in num
ber than in any previous study
made during the past live years,
however, the 119 species of birds
recorded during the study eriod
is the second best record of the
past five years, exceeded only by
the 1959 study w hich brought in a
tolal of 136 species.
As usual a study of (his nature
generally discovers some inter
esting species of bird life that has
not been reported by past studies
and this year two new species
were added (o the Klarhath Ba
sin check list. The first of these
was the European Widgeon, a
straggler from the northern part
ot the Old World. The reporting
of this species has been expected
tor some time in this area since:
this species has been reported a
number of times on the Christmas
bird count taken at Portland.
The second bird discovered dur
ing the study was much more ex
citing to the bird watchers, an
Old World sandpiper commonly
known as The Ruff. The breeding
ground of this bird extends from
(ireat Britain across Northern
Europe and thins out in Asia. 11
winters in India and reaches.
Ceylon, even South Africa. The
one specimen seen on Lower
Klamath Lake was possibly al
stray from Siberia, it was in the
company of a flock of Long-billed
Dowitcher.
In this year's study the Amer
ican widgeon was first in total
numbers counted, 3.901 or 18 per
cent of the Christmas tally. The
second most noted bird in the
Klamath Basin is Hie starling,
3.5(Ki or 17 per cent of the
Christmas tally. Tlie Coot takes
third place with 2,720 individuals
and making up 13 per cent of the
tally. The Brewer's Blackbird took
fourth place with 1,623 counted
and makes eight per cent of the
tally. The fifth place lell to the
ring-bill gull with 1.542 individuals
or seven per cent of the tally. It
is interesting tn note that no other
bird reached the 1.00O mark in
the tally.
The follow ing list gives the spe
cies and numbers of birds count
ed on the 1!B Christmas Bird
Count of Dec. 29. Birds not tal
lied on tlie one day census but
seen during the 10 day observing1
period arc given in tlie list and
marked bv the letter "X."
The Klamath - Tule Lake area
was rcrled by Ed O'Neill, Hugh
O'Neill, Guy McCaskic, Paul De
Benedicts and Edwin Willis.

student James H. Meredith Tues
day left the University of Missis
sippi, possibly for good, with stu
dentE and newsmen literally push
ing him off tlie campus in a
broken-down auto.
Meredith, 29, departed in an
atmosphere of boisterousness but
there was none of the bloody vio
lence that marked his admission
four months ago.
Tlie Korean War veteran was
delayed in his departure when his
car would not start. Ho called sev
eral service station attendants to
recharge the battery. The car still
would not start when he was ready
to leave and he had to he pushed
off by students and a few news
men. He refused to say whether he
would return.
Meredith drove to 'Memphis,
Tenn., 80 miles north of here, aft
er taking his last semester exami
nation, and then drove on to Jack
son, Miss., wliere he moved into
his newly rented apartment. An
attorney at Memphis, A.W. Willis,
said Meredith would have nothing
to say about his future plans until
Jan. 28, the official end of the
current semester.
Meredith is reported in serious
academic difficulty ot the univer
sity. Ife skipped a mathematics
examination Monday, presumably
failing it by default.
About 40students gathered
around Meredith's car as he pre
pared to leave, taunting him with
shouts of "There's the nigger."
They were dispersed by campus
police. later, a caravan of 30 cars
followed Meredith off the campus
and out of town until he reached
an interstate highway leading lo
Memphis.
Meredith entered the campus in
a caravan of federal marshals last
Sept. 30, touching off rioting which
laimed two lives and injured
scores of other persons. More than
.10.000 troops were rushed to this
area to restore and preserve or

remains at Oxford.
