Tuesday morning in Circuit Court No. 2, Judge Donald A. W. Piper set 10 a.m., July B as the Cotton Plan Given Okay WASHINGTON (UPIi-The Ad ministration has approved a do mestic subsidy program for the cotton industry which would elimi nate the two-price cotton system in mid-1964. The Agriculture .Department joined the cotton industry in ap proving a two-stage compromise program to help domestic mills against foreign manufactures. At the same time, Assistant Ag riculture Secretary Charles S. Murphy injected some new price support proposals which could hamper passage of any cotton leg islation. Chairman Harold Cooley, D N.C., of the House Agriculture Committee, said he would consid er a number of recommendations forwarded by Murphy before in troducing any bill. Cooley, who released Murphy's comments on his proposed bill, in dicated that there was no total agreement within the industry on the department's proposals. "I am hopeful that we soon may develop very substantial agree ment among the various elements in the cotton industry," he said, "so that we may deal effectively with the problem by passing the essential legislation." time for the trial of Zelma Joan Othiho, 42, indicted for the gun slaying of Mrs. Florine Baker Huitt, 26, at the home of a mu tual friend last March 19. Mrs. Ochiho was indicted on the murder charge Monday, a few days in excess of three months since she was acquitted by a Klamath Countv Circuit Court jury of the first degree murder of her boy friend, Bruce Miller, 38, an ex-pugilist. A jury of eight women and four men voted 10-2 for acquital by reason of self defense. Mrs. Huitt, the victim in the most recent slaying, had been in the same room with. Mrs. Ochiho when the latter discharged the bullet from the .308 caliber rifle which killed Miller. Mrs. Huitt testified at the murder trial that she had been looking out of a win dow at the time of the shooting and did not observe the incident which took Miller's life. Mrs. Ochiho is a Klamath Indian, as was Mrs. Huitt. Less than two months following the murder trial, Mrs. Othiho slew Mrs. Huitt with the same weapon she used to kill Miller. At the time of the shooting, po liro hplinvnt that iealousv over ntis Washineton. Negro vho testified during the trial Involv ing Miller's death, was the mo tive which incited Mrs. Ochiho to slay her cousin, Mrs. Huitt. Police records establish that the victim was sitting next to Washington in the living room at 61R Commercial Street when Mrs. Ochiho, carrying the alleged murder weapon, opened the front door of the dwelling and stepped inside the house. Washington told police he ob served Mrs. Ochiho point the ri fle at the victim and discharge it. The bullet struck Mrs. Huitt in the thigh and she died of the wound several hours later at the Klamath Valley Hospital. Mrs. Ochiho later consulted-her attorney and then surrendered to police. .

HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Wednesday, May 1, 1963 PAGE 11 A Pistol-Packing Bogeymen Preserve Haitian Presidency For Duvalier ;!j By PHIL NEWSOM L'PI Foreign News Analyst President Francois Duvalier of Haiti is a physician-turncd-dicta- tor who keeps himself in office! with the aid of a pistol-packingl force called "tonton macoute, Translated from the Creole, tonton macoute means bogey men" and it is a fair description of the bully boys who swagger in blue jeans and sports shirts and who reportedly are adept at all forms of persuasion from "volun tary" contributions for Duvalier's personal projects to torture for his enemies. Altogether, they total about 10.000 as compared to Haiti's reg ular army of 5,000, a force which Duvalier systematically has stripped of its best officers since he took office on Oct. 22, 1937. Duvalier currently is observing "month of gratefulness" foi a bit of political sleight nf hand which he executed two years ago and by which be declared him self re-elected for a new six-year iM"wssiweiiii tcrm two years before his old term was to have expired. Two Weeks to Go The old term would have ex pired this May 15. Mounting violence In Port Au Prince, Haiti s capital, has ac- 'companied the approach of that Idate. An outfit calling Itself the Unit ed Revolutionary Forces has an nounced that on May 15 it will' carry out a "dry cleaning" oper ation against the "tyrant-voodoo- ist" Duvalier. Haiti has charged the Dominican Republic of plotting against Du valier which failed but led to the deaths of a chauffeur and two bodyguards watching over Du valier's children. The U.S. embassy officially has warned some 1,500 Americans to store up food and water and stay off downtown streets. And Haiti and the Dominican Republic came close to armed blows. The Haitian government has pressed a hate campaign against both the Dominican Republic and the United States and has threat ened that any uprising against Duvalier would produce a "Him alaya of corpses. U.S. aid to Haiti since 1946 has amounted to around $100 million and the most to show for it is a small dam, some road repair and progress in eliminating the tropi cal yaws. While cutting off aid, the Un't- ed States until this week contin ued a 55-man Marine training mission in Port Au Prince, partly on the theory that some of the hest and most responsible men in Haiti were in its armed forces. The V. S. remains In a dilem ma in Haiti. But there also Is the belief that eventually Duvalier must fall. The direction of that fall would determine the U. S. position intervention if Commu nist, support if there seems a chance for a new democratic rule. Alligator Farm Sold For Lien MESA, Ariz. (UPD - In the market for 217 alligators?
