Suburban Fire Department re ported the first call on the de structive blaze was at 9:01 a.m. and on arrival they found t h e home completely enveloped in flames. Equipment from the City Fire Department, the County and OTI responded in a mutual aid call, but there was nothing that could be done to save any part of the home. Firemen kept the fire from spreading to nearby homes. The rainy conditions of the night assisted in keeping the fire localized. There was a wind blow ing and had the area been dry. firemen speculate, flames might have ravaged a number of homes in the area. ' By FRANK JENKINS Mishmash in the news: Did you read the story the other day about the fellow back East who fed false information into a computer in the employment of fice of tlie concern for which he worked in order to get himself a better job than his qualifications entitled him to? Wirra! Wirra! What a world we're living in. We can't even trust the robots any more. I suppose you've read or heard of the Plainc des Jarrcs, which bobs up so often in the news of the weird fighting in Laos, over on the other side of the world where Americans are fighting in a war in w hich they have little or no direct interest. The term is French. That area of the world, as you will remem ber, was once a part of French Indo China. It means the Plain of Jars, or the Plain of Pots. How did it gel its name? No one knows. H is a fairly wide. Hat plain, and at one point it is covered with huge stone jars, as tall as a man's shoulders. More than 100 of these stone pots arc located near one of the stra tegic air fields in Laos. Who chiseleJ them out and why? It's a mystery. They have been there some 20 centuries. Countless wars have surged around them most of these wars, probably, as meaningless as the present war in Laos. It's a Strang" world. It always has been a strange world.

No one was home at the time the fire was discovered. The Espersens left at 7 a.m. Saturday to visit a daughter in Corvallis. They were finally reached at Corvallis just before noon Saturday and informed of the loss. Dr. Espcrsen could give no estimate of the value of the house and furnishings. Little was known about t h e status of insurance on the home, but the loss of the structure it self has been unofficially esti mated at in excess of $30,000. A dog was rescued from a pen adjoining the house, and two family cats had been left with friends. Fire Chief Geno Cheller of the city department commented that little could be done by the time firemen arrived. Other neighbor hood observers stated that the fire just appeared to explode.

Core Group Named To Study Downtown A 12-man Core Committee head ed by Bob Beach of Beach's Jew lelcrs. was named Friday to work in conjunction with the planning office on the downtown commer cial area studv. The committeemen, all mem bers of the Klamalh Falls Down lown Merchant's Association, are Frank Bogatay, Rill G a n t e r, lwrence Slater, Dick Hicks, Rod Hell, Al Hattan, Dick Iteeder. Curt Lion. Marty Franz and State Senator Harry Boivin. This group will represent an ex pression of grass roots ideas re- arding the changes the business men feel are needed in the don- town area. Ken Blackman, plan-: ning consultant, said his office! has already received 43 state ments of support from the 7 members of the Merchants' Asso ciation. I 1 he association's board of direc-1 tors voted to siintnrt the com mercial area study and the plan was approved by the city council. The majority of Klamath Falls businessmen are convinced that something must be done to im prove the downtown area to keep it the center of business in the area.

Indications were that the blaze began somewhere about the mid dle of the house as the two ends of the house were the last por tions of the structure to be de stroyed. . All departments had to employ pumpers on lite blaze and while this would have hampered opera tions, firemen speculate, had there been an opportunity to save the house, in this case, the water was adequate to protect the im mediate area surrounding the home and prevent the blaze from spreading. Firemen remained on the scene to prevent any spread of the flames, but all that remained by 10 a.m. was charred wreckage and the skeleton framework of two brick fireplaces.

The Dominicans believe they could seize tlie Haitian capital within three hours after beginning an invasion across the border they share w ith Haiti on the Car ibbean island of Hispanioia. Sohrejcts and medium bombers of the modern Dominican air force could reach Port au Prince from the border in 10 minutes Dominican officials said. Bosch served notice Friday to a fact-finding committee of the Or eanization ot American states OAS i that he would use his coun try's superior armed might if he felt it would avert the "blood bath" with which Duvalier has threatened his political enemies.

They feared the death toll would rise when daylight permitted res cue workers to make a thorough search of the charred wreckage. 'Die plane crashed Friday night. A spokesman for Cruzeiro do sul Airlines, operator of tlie twin-engined Convair, said only 5 of the 49 persons aboard the plane were known to have survived. Many of these were reported badly burned. The spokesman said that 32 bod ies were recovered before morn ing, but that a dozen persons still were unaccounted for. Earlier esti. mates of the dead ranged any where from 41 to 49. It was not known if the Convair carried any Americans. One of its twin engines appacrntly conked out shortly after it took off for Rio de Janeiro at about 5:45 p.m. EST. Officials said the pilot apparent ly had made up his mind to re turn to Sao Paulo Airport and try for an emergency landing when disaster struck.

He feels that the gerrymander plan recently proposed by the county school board is a far bet ter solution than the single d s- trict plan. "The tax burden on the rural people would be much too great under the single district plan. There has to be a more equitable solution than that." Bold said. Louis Randall, a Iirella ranch, er. has been working on the Klamath County Citizens Commit tee for several months and feels he has become familiar with county - wide school problems and some of the solutions proposed. Randall has two children in wife, Myler, and is to be named in honor of the donor, Sllani said.

The Convair sliced into power lines on tlie way down, plunging the suburban men into darkness for a time except for Ihe glare from tlie flaming wreckage.

Randall said lie favors t h e metro-county plan or the gerry mander plan, but is against the single district plan because of the tax burden on the rural peo ple and the fact that "equalizing the curriculum would seem im probable."

Mark O. Hatfield to request tlie im mediate resignation of the com missioners serving on the Ore-, gon State Game Commission. Clif ford E. Million!, president of the council, told the Herald and News Saturday. Milhorn said the resolution was! sent to the governor Thursday because the game commission had (ailed to tHke steps which would reduce tlie , deer . hunting season to 14 clnvi, prnhmit antler- less hunts, and limit the taking o( bucks to those with forked horns or greater. The council, an organization of sportsmen representing six East ern Oregon counties, was organ ized last fall to protest the deci mation of the interstate deer herd due to what it believed to be "in efficient game management prac tices of the State Game Commis on." Reduction of tlie deer herds has been due largely to the permitting Vacancies it would be unfair to unnecessar ily burden the rural people with heavy taxes, , he said. Randall indic.fjrd he would be ill favor of some krl of equaliza tion under tlie metro-county plan "It would he unfair to put too heavy a tax burden on any see mcnl of the community whether it be city, rural or suburban," he said.

' The resolution states In part, . . . for several years the Ore gon State Game Commission has progressively liberalized the kill ing of does and fawns, both as to numbers and length of hunting seasons; that such policies have brought the deer herds to the versa of destruction, and that bie game management has been serving "special interests which desire to destroy the deer." Scores of citizens have petitioned the governor and tlie legislature to take corrective action but ac cording to available evidence "the commission is wrongfully de termined to continue the policies which have so badly depleted the deer herds," the resolution states. ft says further that the commis sion is wrongfully determined to continue managing the deer herds in accordance with the ' wislies of prlvato Interests." Milhorn disclosed that the reso lution was prepared by delegates of the six counties represented in the council, during a meeting in Bend, April 27. Also during the session, the di rectors of the council voted that Milhorn should continue as presi dent of the order, it was said. Eugene Man Dies In Crash PORTLAND lUPD-John Wes ley Morgan, 22.
