Lakeshore Home Razed
Fire of undetermined origin
completely destroyed the home
of Dr. and Mrs. R. Wayne Es
pciscii, 2021 Lakeshore Drive,
Saturday morning.
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. '

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.

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. There is a present fear that
several large stores w ill move out
" the "r '" '"" simp-
and that one minute it wasn't
there, and the next the buildin;
was wreathed in flames like a
torch.
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.

SAO PAULA, Brazil (UPII-At
least 32 persons died when a
crippled Brazilian airliner trying
to return to Sao Paulo on one en
gine crashed into a suburb and
burst into flames, officials said
Saturday.
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

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

Game Group Asks
For Resignations
The Oregon Fish and Game'
Council has petitioned Gov. Mark
O. Hatfield to request tlie im

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

charged. '
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.
