NEW YORK (UPI I Winslow,

looks like the 75W0 area in

til there has been a good deal
of prior backing and filling at

It says that "perhaps there has
been too much short term opti
mism around. It now looks as if
the bulls might have to rest while
the validity of their position is
tested. Words and optimism alone
cannot improve a stock s price.
Bache & Co. says that in view
of the poor performance of many
issues during the recent rise "it
appears a period of consolidation
is necessary to strongmen tne ov

lieves that market dins which

Pistol Whipping Incident
Described During Trial
John D. Whittington, a 24-yoar-
old Toppenish, Wash., mechanic
today told a Circuit Court jury
that he was savagely pistol
whipped, beaten and kicked by
two men last Aug. 11.
Whittington spoke as testimony
began in the trial of Donald Huitt
Switlik, 23, charged with assault
with a deadly weapon. Switlik and
the other man, Louis Harvey Gib
bons, 31, were indicted for the
beating, but the latter is being
tried separately next month.
Whittington told the jury of sev
en women and five men that he
was hitchhiking from Louisiana to
Washington when a car picked
him up just north of Klamath
Falls.
He said Switlik was driving the
car and Gibbons was silting in
the rear seat. He said there were
two other men in the car, one in
front and one in back.
Whittington told the jurors that
Gibbons pointed a gun in his
back after they had driven north
a short distance and threatened
him with it. He said the men
were drinking wine.
At one ixiint, he said, they
stopped at a tavern to buy more
wine. ,'
He said Gibbons struck him
three times on the neck and head
with the gun while they were
driving north on Highway 97 and
Switlik turned from 97 onto a
road leading to Agency Lake.
"Gibbons wanted to shoot me
right there," Whittington said.
This was after the car had been
stopped. !
Instead, the witness added,
Switlik talked Gibbons into beat
ing him up. He said Gibbons hit
him with his fist.
He said ho fell to the ground,
but Switlik told Gibbons: "He's
faking."
He said Switlik then kicked him
in the ribs and he blacked out
Whittington was later found by a
passing motorist and taken to
Klamath Valley Hospital for treat
ment. Defense attorney Richard Smith
questioned Whittington sharply on
details of the beating, but the man
stuck to his story.
Next witness was Jerry Carl
son, a Klamath Union High School
student. 11c told jurors he saw
Whittington picked up by a beige
Thunderbird while the man was
hitchhiking north of Klamath
Falls. The youth was working in

Such drastic reductions would

"It will be necessary literally

health service in addition." he
said.
Th 14 per cent cutback will

A blue light blinked today on a
big board in the lobby of the Com

the word that the U. S. popula
tion had jumped to 190 million.
The occasion saw cheers, ap
plause, and even some tears.
The new total registered on the
"census clock," a string of color
ed lights on a U. S. map.
Each bulb blinks every seven
and one half seconds to mark a
new birth. Tlie total is recorded
on a speedometer type dial lo
cated on top of the board.
The new census figure marked
a 20 million increase in popula
tion since April 12, I960. The
total is expected to hit the 200
million mark sometime in 1967.
Actur'iy, the 190 million mark
was reached at 10: S) a.m. but the
"clock" was stopped until Com
merce Secretary Luther H. Hodg
es arrived for the ceremony.
Photographers persuaded Hodg

arms during the ceremony an
event which inspired the tears.
The youngsters were Ginny

brother, Douglas. They are
the children of Mr. and Mrs

Southern Oregon Realty & Insurance
est Protective Association and the
U.S. Forest Service this morning
were apprehensively watching
conditions.
Thursday was described as hav
ing the highest fire danger so far
this season and more of the
same conditions were forecast for
the weekend with the added haz
ard of lightning.
KFPA fire lookouts reported
humidity as low as 18 per cent
and fuel (timber) moisture as low
as five per cent. In addition.
there have been gusts of wind up
to 30 miles per hour and steady
breezes of 20-25 m.p.h. Tempera
tures have been in the 80's.
KFPA Supervisor George War
dell reported that the number of
permits issued to hunters indi
cates a big turnout for the open
ing of deer seaspn. The hunters'
presence also adds to the dan
ger because of campfires and
smoking.
The U.S. Forest Service at Wi
nema National Forest said there
is a 50 per cent chance of "dry
lightning" tonight. A spokesman
for the Forest Service called it
the "worst forecast we've re

aided by Oregon Technical Insti
