CO?. K?.A?SK SBC I ION GKN.aSF-MI WJC'JZfcBiS UV. la The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Mishmash in (he news: The little town of Dodgeville, In Wisconsin, has a mysterious ben efactor. He sends money anony mously through the mail to vari ous persons, many of them aged, who in his opinion have a REAL NEED FOR MONEY. .'. How does he pick his bencfici aries? Nobody knows. Tlie money just arrives in a plain envelope, which carries the local postmark. The amounts vary from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. The word is getting out, and Editor John Miller of the Dodge ville Chronicle says he is get ting letters from all over the country asking how the writers! can get on the list. They ask him to pass on their names and addresses to the mysterious fai ry." Editor Miller says he wishes he knew the address, and adds that if he did he'd make a try for some of the money on his own account. It's turning out to be a weird business, the Dodgeville editor says. Some people are using the method to MAKE DONATIONS TO. CHARITABLE CAUSES WITHOUT GETTING ON A MAILING LIST. - Which is to say: These people sincerely want to help good causes, but they don't want the word to get out fearing that they will be swamped with requests for money from all over the country. Many Dodgeville people. Editor Miller reports, are being asked to pay old debts either long for gotten, or NEVER INCURRED. In other words, racketeers are Retting into the game, hoping that people silly enough to be giving money away would be silly enough to fall for the al leged debt racket. Then there's the case of Kiki, the missing poodle down in the Bay Area. Kiki had been left by her owner, a 45-year-old blonde divorcee, in the car. When her, mistress came back there was no Kiki. The shock sent Kiki's owner into a tizzy, and she wound up in a psychiatric hospital con fused, disturbed and unsure ol just about everything except that she missed her dog. Her sad case got into the news papers which, as everybody knows, are public benefactors, ever anxious to help those in distress and also (especially in our big metropolitan citiesi ever anxious for a good story that when played under big head lines will sell a lot of papers. As a result, Kiki was found and restored to her owner, whose doc tors agree that the return of her dog "may help her greatly to regain her grip on reality." . In conclusion At a meeting in Portland the other day, 1 sat next to a dis tinguished citizen of Oregon who has retired to Southern California. 1 asked him how all was going in his new location. He replied, in substance: "Well, when I left, to come back up here for a few days our neighborhood was in something of an uproar. Our next door neigh bor was having troubles of her own. Her nog was off its teed and was acting in a strange man ner. "So she was having her psy chiatrist in every other day to see what might be done to bring tlie dog back its normal sell. What a world!

IUPH Carlos Sosa Rodriguez of Vene zuela, new president of the U.N General Assembly, said today he hoped the 18th U.N. session would provide a harmonious atmosphere for further cold war agreements Sosa noted that the recent Mos cow treaty banning nuclear tests in the air, m outer space and un der water had its beginnings in the assembly's political commit tee. He said perhaps further steps toward including under ground tests will be made at this U.N. session. In regard to the role the United Nations can play in any East- West detente, Sosa said the world parliament provides'a forum for world public opinion on such cru cial issues as nuclear tests. I expect the future to be the same as the past in that respect," he told his first news conference! since being elected Tuesday. The assembly, whose opening meeting Tuesday was marred by an anti-Castro demonstration, got' down to the business of its new session today. The 21-nation steer ing committee was examining the! 82 items proposed for the agenda lo see which of the standing1 committees would take each item for preliminary debate. Sosa told newsmen this morn ing that the financial crisis is a top item before the assembly. He said the organization cannot carry on its functions if members do not provide sufficient funds. In answer to a question, he said application of article 19 of the charter will not come up at least until after Dec. 31. This ar ticle states that a member will lose its vote if it falls two ycarsl behind in payment of its assess ments. Article 19 is of major import ance to diplomats here because Russia, which has refused to pay! Congo assessments, will become liable to the article's pro-J visions on Jan. 1. Sosa began his term Tuesday 19,469 Join Voter Ranks Registered voters in Klamath!

The total was some 1,100 less than the 20.569 voters who had registered for the general election in November, 1962. The number of registered vot ers has not yet been broken down into political parties, but this should be accomplished sometime within the next few days, the clerk s office reported.

Indonesia UPI -i A howling mob of 10.000 rioters, protesting tlie formation of the new nation of Malaysia, sacked and burned the British Embassy today. The embassv staff fled In safety under polite protection. Some em bassy employes were injured in the rioting. The rioters staged their attack in retaliation lor a demonstra tion against the Indonesian Em bassy in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur Tuesday. Indonesian authorities made no attempt to put out the fire in the embassy. State Of Preparedness In Kuala Lumpur. Malaysian Prime Minister Tengku Rahman announced today that his govern ment has decided to put the new nation into a "stale of prepared- ness" because of the increasing tension.

But there were three Instances of disharmony on the first day. Albania demanded that Nation alist China be expelled from the U. N. and Communist China ad mitted in its place. Indonesia ob jected to the presence of Malay sia. And Cuban exiles in battle dress leaped from the public gal lery, dashing into the delegates' section with shouts of "Long live free Cuba." No real dispute was expected on the demands hy Albania, Communist China's European sat ellite. The United States, confi dent the move would be defeated! in a direct vote in the assembly as easily as last year when it went down 56-42, planned no ob jection to putting the issue on the agenda. U.S. Sends Flying Lab Into Space CAPE CANAVERAL (UPII- The United States today success fully fired a 1,100-pound "flying laboratory" on an up-and-down flight into space in the first of a six-shot peek at the shape of things to come in manned space. The delta-winged ASSET rode into the sky at 2:59 a.m. PDT. atop a modified Thor rocket. Six minutes later, the Air Force said, the unique little craft shaped like a slightly rotund ar rowhead, 'was on protectory on a planned course taking it 40 miles lino space ana more man 1.000 mile over the Atlantic Ocean in a test of durability Recovery ships were poised downrange to retrieve it and its load of instruments after it had glided to a watery landing. The Air Force said radar in formation indicated the ASSET vehicle landed in its target area, 1.100 miles east-southeast of the Cape, on schedule 20 minutes aft er blastoff. Another source said tlie shot was "right in the center of the target." But three hours later recovery ships still were searching for the vehicle, equipped with a balloon to keep it afloat. The Air Force said none of the vessels had picked up beacon signals that were supposed to announce a normal landing.

Pick Out Targets The British were singled out for attack because they have strong ly backed the new nation, which is a federation of Singapore, Ma laya and two British territories on the island of Borneo, part of which is shared by Indonesia. The new federation is opposed by In donesia and the Philippines, with both of whom Malaysia severed diplomatic relations Tuesday. The (ires started by today mob burned out the inside of rnosi of the embassy building and de stroyed eight embassy cars. Tlie blazes burned into the late alter noon.

(4-- - SHEEP FOR SCOUTS Members of the Klamath Basin Sheep Producers Association are donating feeder lambs to the Modoc Area Council of the Boy Scouts. The lambs will be fattened and then sold, with the profits going into the council's funds. This is the first time this has been done locally. The lambs, some of which ere shown here, are heing fed at the Bryant Williams ranch near Spring National llraed For Eomhina Victims WASHINGTON (UPH-A group of Republican and Democratic senators have appealed for a na tionwide day of mourning and protest for the four children killed in the Birmingham, Ala., church bombing. Senate Democratic Whip Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota led the group in asking President Kennedy to proclaim next Sunday as a day of national mourning for the young girls killed last Sunday. At the same time, sponsors of the Aug. 28 civil rights march on Washington made plans for silent protest marches in scores of cities throughout the nation, perhaps on Sunday, with a possible assembly by one group near the White House. Humphrey lashed out at South ern business and protessional leaders who he said have encour aged racial violence for economic prolit. His was tlie first of a tor rent of Senate speeches on the Birmingham bombing. Southerner Sharps Blame On the other side of the Capitol a freshman congressman from At lanta, Ga., said Southern moder ates, including himself, must share the blame for the bombing 'We have stood by, leaving the field to reckless and violent; men," said Rep.

Humphrey concentrated his fire Solon Urges No Changes WASHINGTON (UPI1 Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., told the Senate today it is "unnecessary and undesirable" to add to the test ban treay resolution special assurance that future amendments must have Senate approval. He said a compromise plan to add such assurance as a preamble to tlie nuclear treaty resolution of ratification "adds nothing" even though it would "avoid the em barrassing predicament of going back to all the other signees with a re-statement of our own coHsti- tuion. The compromise was drawn up to meet objections ol Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., a pouertul Senate voice. Both Morse and Sen. George D Aiken. R-Vt., previously an nounced backers of the treaty called for "overwhelming" ratifi cation of the pact barring all but underground tests. Lake.

"Strong Words" "And so-for profit, for money -the whirlwind of racial hatred and violence has been encouraged not permitted but encouraged, invited yes, incited. 'Those are strong words," Humphrey said. "I feel them strongly." Specifically,. Humphrey criti cized those who. he said, keep Negroes uneducated and un trained to hold down wages in the South, those who fight the growth of labor unions by "setting white worker against Negro," those who1 make political careers out of "Negro-baiting," and those who play up Negro crime in news papers. The Minnesota Democrat said tlie blame for the Southern racial situation must be shared by Northern leaders who "have at the very least acquiesced Hi the policies of racial degradation and humiliation. Telephone VI tr A Final Rites For Girls He,dTocfay By United Press International Funeral services for three of the four Negro girls killed in church bombing Sunday at Birm ingham, Ala., were to be held to day with Negro leader Martin Luther King Jr. delivering the main eulogy. The other victim, Carol Robert son, 14, was buried Tuesday in a tearful ceremony attended by more than 1,500 persons. At least 25 white ministers and priests and a white city councilman were present. ( Their deaths have not been in vain, said the Rev. John H. Cross, pastor of the bombed 16th Street Baptist Church. "May we not seek revenge by perpetrating evil but may we seek to find the God she sought!" Authorities said after the fu neral that murder charges had been tiled against two lli-ycar-old white boys in the fatal shooting of a Negro youth following the bombing. Police in Sclma, Ala., Tuesday arrested at least 12 Negroes dur ing an antisegregation demonstra tion in the tightly segregated city. Nine of the group were charged with marching without a permit and three were charged with dis orderly conduct. About 200 Negro children marched from their school to a church in a protest against seg regation at Williamston, N. C. Police said the march was so or derly that "we hardly considered it a demonstration." 28 Mexicans Killed California Crash UPP - A freight train akeshift bus Tuesday, kill farm work the converted vehicle The California Highway Patrol uaid 22 of the victims were killed outright and six died later while being treated at hospitals In Sa linas, 10 miles to tlie north.

Kennedy made his commitment in a letter to Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark.. of the House Ways1 & Means Committee, which has recommended the cut. Kennedy praised Mills' call or rejection of the spending route and said flatly, I subscribe to it. Mills read the letter to the Gulf Coast Plagued By Flooding BEAUMONT, Tex. (UPl) Decaying Hurricane Cindy, now degraded to a tropical storm, triggered downpours of more than 15 incites of rain along the Hood- itricken Texas-Louisiana Coast Tuesday night and today. Hundreds o persons were forced from their homes. Rescue workers in boats and Army trucks! helped residents to shelter. Flooding wasn t the only prob lem posed by the cloudbursts.

Schools were closed In the Beaumont-Porti Arthur areas. ' The civil defense in Port Ar thur said some persons woke up today with water lapping at their beds. They quicwy called lor neip. Boats were being pressed into service in areas the trucks could not ford. Some observers said the flood-; ng in the Port Arthur-Beaumont; area was worse than that caused by Hurricane Carla in 1961. Cindy was not a killer hurricane like! Carla, which killed at least 17 persons. No deaths or injuries have been reported. More than 15 inches of rain fell at both Beaumont and Port Ar thur. Cindy was moving on a north- northwestward course about five miles an hour today. The storm was located north of Houston. Skunk 'Blows' Into Theater EAST GREENWICH. H.I..

The braccros. Mexican national ists working under arrangements between the U.S. and Mexican governments, had finished their work in a celery field just eight minutes before. The freight engine, pulling 71 open-lop cars of sugar beets, ploughed broadside into the con verted truck, which was fitted with an aluminum canopy and parallel benches for use as a bus by the farm laborers. "Bodies just llew all over tlie place," said Tony Vasquoz, 29, a field supervisor who witnessed the tragedy Irom a nearby let tuce field. The train traveled a mile be fore engineer It. E.

To Tax Cut House Rules Committee and asked, "what further assurance do we need?" That the tax cut ill be accompanied by strict avoidance of government pro grams useful only for the dollars they pour into tlie national econ omy. Mills, seeking Rules Committee clearance for House debate on the bill starting next Tuesday, sought to demolish arguments of oppo nents that it is folly to cut taxes while the government runs in the red. Cites "Strailjacket" : He said his best judgment is that the best way to get govern ment income up, and to shoot for balanced federal budget, is to remove the "strailjacket" which he said present - high war-time taxes impose on business. Mills recalled that in his state ment Monday he had said the choice now is whether to spur the economy by cutting taxes or fur ther boosting government spend- ing. Kennedy was expected to am plify this assurance in a national- televised and broadcast ad dress at 4 p.m. PDT today. He also was expected to argue, as Mills did in his Rules Committee testimony today, that the best way to bring the budget into balance is to spur economic growth by culling burdensome taxes. But It appeared that his appeal was doomed to failure beforehand as far as the House' 5 GOP mem bership is concerned. House Republicans have been ' called to a conference, scheduled at mid-alternoon, to adopt a party position ol opposition to the pas sage, expected next week, of the 'tax-cutting bill in its present iorm. , The rank-and-file, by a top- heavy margin, were expected to endorse the recommendations of their leaders that Republicans vote against the bill unless it is , revamped to include tlie deficit spending curbs. May Ask "Equal Time" House Republican Leader Charles A. Hatleck of Indiana told the GOP Policy Committee Tues day that Republican leaders may ask the nation's television end radio networks for "equal time" to answer Kennedy, depending upon what the President says. In advance of the GOP confer ence, tlie House Rules Committee arranged to begin public hear ings on a request by Democratic leaders that the bill be scheduled for floor action under a procedure limiting the minority party to one amendment, or substitute, bill. The present bill would provide two separate lux cuts. Income taxes on individuals and corpora- tions would be reduced by $7 bil lion on l!i4 incomes, with an ad ditional $4 billion in tax relief scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 1965. Both cuts would provide permanent relief. . -;, Cancel Second Cut The House Republican Policy Committee agreed Tuesday to recommend that Republicans sup port an amendment that would automatically cancel the second tax cut unless tho President cut , back spending this fiscal year to $97 billion and held to $98 billion the budget for the new fiscal year, to be sent to Congress in January. The budget Kennedy submitted last January estimated spending at $98.8 billion. - Tho policy committee agreed that Republicans should oppose the measure on final passage un less tlie amendment is adopted. A bloc of Southern Democrats whose votes could determine the outcome agreed at a separate strategy session Tuesday that any tax cut should be accompanied by restraints on deficit spending.
