Interior Asks
leasing Bids
PORTLAND (UPI I - The In
terior Department today called
for nominations for areas for
prospective oil and gas leasing in
the outer continental shelf off the
coasts of Oregon and Washington
This would be the first leasing
of offshore lands in tlie Pacific
Northwest by the Federal Govern
ment. Tlie area currently has no
production of oil and gas.
Under Secretary of the Interior
James K. Carr. chairman of the
Department's Offshore Oil Com
mittee, said plans call for com
petitive sealed bids for leases on
specific tracts to be received Oct.
1, 1964.
Prospective leasees must now
indicate offshore areas on which
they are interested in drilling for
oil and gas. Nominations must be
submitted not later than Nov. 1
Carr said, "It is our view that
a successful program for explora
tion in the offshore area will
make a substantial contribution to
employment and to economic ac
tivity in the Pacific Northwest.
Accordingly, tlie Department's
timetable for the sale has been
calculated to a f f o r d interested
parties sufficient time for
thorough seismic work in advance
of the sale date."
Oil firms have been exploring
off the Oregon coast under state
permits but no oil has been found
Auto Causes
Home Damage
A 14-year-old Klamath Falls
boy who took his mother's car
without permission lost control of
the car and smashed into a house
belonging to Mrs. Hugh O'Con
nor, 133 Grant Street, damaging
the car and house extensively.
The accident occurred Tuesday
afternoon.
The youth, Dan A. Andress, 303
Washington Street, was cited for
violation of basic rule and hav:
ing no operator's license. The boy
had just let out a couple of his
friends shortly before he turned
the corner at Grant and North
Second streets and jumped a
curb.
The youth told police he just
doesn't - remember what hap
pened after he hit the curb. Po
lice feel that the inexperienced
driver probably froze at the
wheel.
The vcliicle hit tlie back porch
of the house shearing off an 8
by 8 foot support. Andress was
not hurt in tlie crash, police in
dicated.
Girl Injured
In Car Mishap
A 17-year-old Klamath Falls
girl received cuts and bruises
when she was thrown out of a
car involved in an accident at
tlie intersection of Reclamation
Avenue and Martin Street Thurs
day allernoon.
The girl. Madeline Murray, was
thrown onto the pavement when
tlie car she was a passenger in
collided with a vehicle driven by
Robert William Johnson. 38, 1006
Alandale. The other vehicle was
operated by the girl's mother Rose
Marsango, 40, 2136 Eberlcin.
Mrs. Marsango and Johnson
both complained of pain after the
crash. The woman was cited for
failing to yield Ihc right of way
and her car received moderate
damage while the Johnson ve
hicle was damaged extensive
ly, according to police.
City police, observing that the
Marsango vehicle was without
seat belts, advised the woman
to equip her car with these salc
ty features.
staged by bandits wliose faces
were masked by women's stock
ings and who were armed w ith
crowbars, blackjacks and guns,
the insurance brokers offered
$560,000 in reward money.
Individual banks which had
shipments of cash in vary
ing amounts en route to tlie Bank
of England in London added
their own rewards to tlie insur
ance brokers' offer. Officials said
they felt Die amount of the re
ward money almost certainly
would tempt some member of
the underworld to furnish some
leads to tlie robber gang, whose
number originally was estimated
at from 20 to 30 but which may
have been smaller.
The gigantic record reward
offer was made by the firms of
Hart and Co. and Toplis and
Harding, insurance assessors.
As Scotland Yard stepped up
one of history's greatest man
hunts, some of the banks affect
ed increased their original re
ward offers.
The Midland Bank, for instance
boosted its offer from $70,000
to $140,000, as the nation's banks
began to learn just exactly what
they had lost in the wild West-
style train robbery.
The amazing success of the
bandit operation near Chedding-
ton, 40 miles north of Lon
don, was causing some new-
thinking on Britain's traditional
concept that neither policeman
nor robbers usually carry guns.
Because of severe penalties for
harming a policeman, the under
world usually commits crimes
without firearms.
At least some of the mail train
bandits carried firearms, using
them to threaten the unarmed
train crew and post office person
nel aboard. A post office spokes
man said there were no armed
guards on tlie train, a usual
practice since it has been felt
that the large force of mail sort
ers normally was enough to keep
watch.
This is contrary to American
practice, w here a minimum of at
least two armed "clerks" or
guards arc aboard every U.S.
mail train.
Storm Damage
Report Given
SALEM (UPI) A year and a
half's supply of timber for tlie en
tire Oregon-Washington forest in

Standard Oil
Anti-Trust Case
Ruled Mistrial
PORTLAND UPI ) An anti
trust case against Standard Oil
Co. of California was declared a
mistrial here Thursday after coun
sel for the plaintiff declared in tne
presence of the jury that Standard
hired a potential witness.
Clyde Perkins, 73, Vancouver,
Wash., sought more than $ti00,000
from the company in a case
brought under tlie Robinson-Pat-man
Act.
Perkins, a former petroleum
Jobber and one time executive
vice president of the Portland
Beavers of tlie Pacific Coast
League, charged that Standard
sold gasoline and oil products to
competitors of Perkins at lower
prices.
Federal Judge William G. East
granted the mistrial on the 15th
day of testimony after attorney
Roger Tilbury pursued the subject
of hiring a potential witness in the
jury's presence. The judge set a
new trial for Oct. 21.
Judge East later signed an Ol
der requiring Tilbury to appear
Wednesday and show cause why
he should be be assessed the cost
of jurors' fees and subsistence in
curred by the government during
the trial.
Perkins, who operated under tlie
brand name of Champion stations,
alleged that his business from Se
attle, to Centralia, Wash, was
taken over by another Standard
jobber.
Perkins and Tilbury said that
Standard retained a certified pub
lic accountantcy and that such ac
tion had the effect of cutting off
the plaintiff s attempt to ob
tain records needed in tlie pre
sentation of the case.
Hill Named
Emergency
Plan Chief
SALEM (UPI) - Public Utility
Commissioner Joncl C. Hill has
been appointed by Gov. Mark Hat
field to be tlie state's emergency
planning director.
The position was formerly held
by Civil Defense Director Robert
Sandstrom.
However. Sandstrom recent
ly told the Civil Defense Advisory
Council he couldn't continue to
hold the position because of added
personal duties which resulted
when his staff was cut from 18 to
three by the legislature.
In the emergency planning role.
Hill will make plans for keeping
the state's economy going and
provide adequate food and serv
ices to the people in case of nu
clear attack.
Hill said he plans to contact top
business and industrial leaders to
help him prepare the program. He
also plans to enlist the aid of
state and federal officials in Ore
gon. Plans will be based on the as
sumption tlie state will be cut off
from the rest of the nation for 90
days in case of nuclear attack but
that there will be no direct hits
in Oregon and the state's econo
mic facilities will be intact.
He said rationing plans will be
included.
Hill said some of the emergency
planning had been done while the
function was under civil defense
direction but that much additional
work was needed.
On a national level emergency
planning has also been separated
from civil defense.

Jury Finds Huitt Innocent
Robert L. Huitt. Agency, has
been acquitted of the assault with
a dangerous weapon of Howard
Wise, a 28-year-old itinerant, who
was wounded in the leg with a
bullet fired from a .25-35 cal
iber rifle after he became a tar-
let for the accused following a
drinking bout at Huitt's residence
Feb. 28.
The jury of eight men and four
women deliberated four hours and
22 minutes before it returned a
unanimous verdict of not guilty to
Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg, 10 p.m., last night.
The case went to the jury about
3:30 p.m. yesterday, following
the closing statements of the de
fense attorney and Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Bob Thomas, mark
ing the end of the trial which
started Tuesday.
In a surprise move early yes
terday, the defense opened and
ended its case with the testimony
of one witness the defendant,
Robert Huitt.
The story of the shooting inci
dent as told to the jury by Huitt
yesterday was at considerable
variance with a statement he had
made to the district attorney's of
fice in March and the version re
lated by Wise during the trial.
Huitt s first story was that he
had observed Wise peering into
the house through a window. Be
lieving Wise was a prowler,
Huitt said in his statement that
he fired four shots at the man
as he retreated from the house.
The last bullet struck him in the
leg.
During the trial. Wise told the
jury that he became a target for
Huitt after he angered him by
moving too slowly in producing a
bottle of liquor from another part
of the house.
Testimony from both men es
tablished that the victim had
been a guest in the Huitt house at
the time of the shooting.

The latest version of the inci
dent Huitt told the jury yesterday
was that fear for his six-month-old
daughter precipitated the
shooting that has confined Wise
to a Medford hospital since that
time.
Huitt related that during the
night of the shooting he was
awakened by a strange noise and
looked up to observe Ihe form of a
man standing over his daughter.
Huitt said he reached for his ri
fle and fired twice at the figure
who dashed toward one end of
the. house. As Wise passed a
couch, Huitt fired two more shots,
with the last bullet clipping his
target on the leg.
In his closing statement, Thom
as argued that Huitt had con
cocted the more recent story
when he learned that the stale
could prove that Wise had been
a guest in his house at the time of
the shooting.
