When Sharpe got to Murphy, a I rescue party was organized. It : bucked its way through a new" : snow fall to reach Mrs. Sharpe : and bring her to Murphy. No trace was found of Delford.

I don't know what's hap J pened." 5 ! U.S. Urged To Quit UN WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Daughters of the American Revo lution, after a brief but emotional debate, Wednesday urged the .

President Kennedy s foreign and domestic programs. . Two votes were recorded against a resolution opposing rati fication of'a test ban treaty or any other measure that would lead to U.S. disarmament. The delegates unanimously opposed foreign aid, "managed news," a domestic Peace Corps, U.S. participation in an Atlantic community, and ;, "payment of international black mail and failure to enforce the ; Monroe Doctrine" against Com jmunist Cuba, Warner Bros, is proud to present all the heart and happiness of the great PAGE S-A HKRALD AND ) V " 0' 7 AIRMEN SPEAK FOR SQUADRONS The Kingsley Field Airmen's Council, among the most active groups at the airfield, meets regularly to discuss problems pertaining to the base service club and is comprised of, first row, left to right, A.I.C.

Commissioner John Amacher, Roseburg, charged "they wanted to carry the ball or they wanted out." Rollin Bowles, Portland, Game Commission Chairman, said "we got the brushoff." The subcommittee wanted to know why about $200,000 from salmon and steelhead tag sales had not been equally divided be tween the two agencies. 'The money was supposed to be fairly well divided." Sen. Wal ter Leth, R-Salem, commented. "I feel the game commission hasn't lived up to legislative in tent," Rep. Stafford Hansel), R Hermiston,. added. The Fish Commission has re ceived only $20,000 of the tag rev enue, instead of half the funds, he said. Hansell said he would give the situation "another look."

Bailey added that the develop ment of the watershed was of es pecial interest to the Pacific Power and Light Company, since the project, if successful, would enable the lirm to have water lat er in the year, when it is needed most. i George Proctor, chairman of llie Agriculture Committee, remarked that money to finance the proj ect after the study is completed would be contributed equally by irrigation, power, fisheries and reclamation interests. Proctor said lurther that the program would provide flood control lor parts of the Basin and increase the area available for fishing and bird hunting. Emphasizing sports men's interests, Proctor comment ed that the U.S. Fish and Wild life Service has asked for a "firm" water supply for T u 1 e Lake, although it has yet to be determined whether the water should come from Klamath Lake, he added.

BPA Payout Explained WASHINGTON (UPI I Interim Secretary Stewart Udall an nounced payout procedures beng used in most other major river basins will be applied to the Columba River power system. Udall said repayment for the Columba River system by Bonne ville Power Administration here after will be computed on a "con solidated system basis." This, he said, means that when a federal power installation has paid for itself, the dam will con tinue as a working partner con tributing financial support to all other elements in the system, in cluding those irrigation invest ments chargeable to power reve nues. For example, Bonneville Dam is expected to repay its investment by li)94 after which it will contin ue to support financially the con solidated system. Under the pres ent method Bonneville Power Ad- minstration computes repayment on each dam individually over a 30-year period. Udall said .it was estimated the revised payout schedule would re duce BPA's repayment obligations by $7 million to $9 millon annual ly. "However," he said, "these re ductions in annual payout require ments do not reduce the total ob ligators." Doors Open 6:45 AT REGULAR ADMISSION PRltES! Broadway play M.-l h N'tR'.'IN L'ROV Fjj Railey later took a parting shot at House BlU 1233. which would establish a Department of Natural Resources. Bailey stated that his committee opposed passage ol the bill since it would set up an other bureau in a government al ready administered by "too many bureaus." George Callison, reporting for the Local and Slate Affairs Com mittee, added that the bill would remove t'ontrol of our natural resources from interested conser vation groups and place it into the hands of an indiscernible bu reau. The bill has been revised so often since it was originally in troduced before the legislature that it has swelled to 154 pages. The chamber decided to with hold discussion of the bill until it comes out of committee and nu merous amendments, could be studied. The other measure brought be fpre the chamber was House Bill 1825, which would require that a 10 per cent, tax be charged for ho tel and motel accommodations of less than one month's duration. Callison's recommendation, on behalf of the Local and State Af fairs Committee, that the pro posed bill be opposed was ap proved by the chamber. The principal objection to the tax was that it was discriminating and would hinder efforts to develop tourism in the state. Keith Cobo, director of the Tourist and Contention Commit tee, reported earlier to the Local and State Affairs Committee that in those states where a similar law was in force, the local com munities received part of the rev enue collected from the tax. If the bill were passed, Oregon "Klamath Fails Folks my latest terrifying motion picture so much that The Birds is being held over a few more days!" 1 would be the only state in which all of the tax revenue would go to the slate government. On one of three other mat ters. Brooks Dickerman, co-director of the Industrial Development Committee, reported that Harold Rose, vice president of Hayden Xewport Industries, would arrive here from Florida in May to seek a potential site for an industrial here from Florida in May to seek a potential site for an industrial plant to process tree stumps. The firm, with main offices in New York City and its central plant in Florida, was the only bidder on two million tons of pine tree stumps in the Des chutes, Winema and Fremont na tional forests. The company bid $2.27 per tun and agreed to con struct a plant somewhere in the Bend-Klamath Falls region which would employ about 100 persons to process -chemical extracts from the stumps. Dickerman said that the east ern firm indicated interest in the acquisition of the former Johns Manville plant, near Chiloquin. now owned by the Boise-Cascade Company of Idaho. The interest shown in the area by the chemical company spurred the Industrial Development Com mittee to take stock of the as sets of Klamath Falls as applied to industry, Dickerman said. If this city is to attract large new businesses it must have in dustrial sites available, he added. A survey team composed of mem bers of his committee has locat ed suitable property east of Wash burn Way and is in the process to determining the value of that land, Dickerman said further. The chamber will not purchase the property, but seeks to "tie it up" like 3 ; VvHt it! hi so it would be available to indus try, he concluded. On another subject, Dickerman said that Al Lynch would repre sent the National Development Committee on the newly or ganized nutn Employment Com mittee, which was established through the local office of t h e State Department of Employment to assist students seeking work during summer. A final report came from Deb Addison, chairman of the Roari and Highways Committee, who related that two major bonding programs, weer in the legislative mill which, if passed, would fi nance a large highway project in the Portland Mt. Hood area and the construction of a bridge across the Willamette River. , Addison stated that he had con sulted legislator Carrol Howe and found him optimistic that the bills would be voted down in com mittee. The Chamber of Commerce went on record in January as op pqsing the financing of highway construction through bonding pro grams. The matter was brought', out at that time when the Oregon Coast Association was lobbying for a one-cent gas tax on gaso line to finance bonds for the con struction of a highway in t h e western part of the state. Establishing a tax levy explicit ly to finance construction of roads in counties represented by the Oregon Coast Association would be unfair, because counties out side of the association would also be contributing to the project, Ad dison had said. Revenues from such taxes should be beneficial to all of the counties and not a select few, it was explained.
