NEW YORK (UPD-Gains of a
point or more in nearly a dozen
sugar stocks featured an other
wise narrowly mixed and moder
ately active stock market today.
Sizable gains in American Crys
tal, North American, South Puerto
Rico, Great Western, Holly, Cen
tral Aguirre, Amalgamated,
American and National have been
indirectly attributed to hurricane
Flora now raging over Cuban
sugar crops.
Although Cuban sugar is no

was noted that its loss is felt on
the world market and the effect
transmitted thereby to the domes
tic market.
WALL STREET CHATTER
NEW YORK (UPI) - Invest
ment advisers Brohman, Cum
mings Jt Co. expect that during
the rest of October the popular
averages will continue to show
wide day-to-day price swings on
comparatively low volume "say
between 720-750 in the Dow-Jones
industrials."
However, it adds, despite the
prospect of continued whiplashing
and milling around, "there is the
possibility that interest may
broaden into the many deserving!
issues which have gone nowhere
since last spring." As for Novem
ber the advisers believe the
market will be making new highs
then.
Martin Gilbert of Van Alstyne,
Noel & Co. says that the recent
correction does not mean that
the upward movement has
stopped. It is true that the
bears put up a rough fight," he
adds, "but their sales apparently
were well absorbed with buyers
bidding up after more."

Court Action
Seeks Tribe
Study Ruling
PORTLAND Suit lias been filed
in Multnomah County Circuit
Court seeking an interpretation
of the 1959 agreement with the
U.S. government which established
the U.S. National Bank of Port
land as the trustee for the Klam
ath Indians.
The suit stems from a decision
last month by remaining members
of the Klamath Tribe to seek a
professional study of utilization
of their multi-million - dollar
properties in Klamath Countv.
The bank maintains that it is
improper to spend tribal funds
for this study and filed the
friendly suit Friday for a deel
sion by the court on this matter
I he remamuig members of the
Klamath tribe met in Chiloquui
Sept. 20 and voted to seek the
study. Their attorney, Donald
Gormley, said in his opinion the
expenditure of trust funds for this
purpose is proper.
The Indians are seeking the
study which would furnish them
with information on their proper
ties before they vote March 3,
1964, on whether to end the trust
continue it, or make other ar
rangements.
It is estimated that the inde
pendent study will cost about $10,-
000.
The 1959 agreement also covers
Modoc Indians and the Yahooskin1
band of Snake Indians, but this
particular case does not directly
affect these tribes.

Active Suburban Fire Department
Has Grown Steadily Since
Editor's Note: This Is the first
In a series of articles this week
on the operation of local fire de
partments in connection with
Fire Prevention Week across the
nation.
The Suburban Fire Department
is responsible for protecting the
densely populated South Subur
ban area.
The department has grown with
this area, having been estab-i
lished in 1947 as the Suburban
region reached the status of a
population center.
Although Suburban firemen
cover an area of only 12 square
miles, it is one of the busiest
departments in the county. Hard
ly a day goes by that Suburban
firemen are not called to a grass
fire or a blaze in one of the
hundreds of houses they protect.
Suburban firemen are housed
in a station on Gcttlo Street. Five
paid Suburban firemen are led
by Chief Buster Gordon, who has
been chief of the department
since its formation in 1947.
He is aided by Asst. Chief Ray
LaMarshe. engineer Roger Wil
kinson and drivers Jim Lane and
Leo Kamarad. In addition to
these men, the Suburban depart
ment has on call 40 trained vol-

grass fires.
With this equipment, the Subur-!

This week, in connection with
Fire Prevention Week, Suburban
firemen are putting on programs
in schools in their area, designed
to acquaint children with fire
hazards and how to eliminate
them.
In this program, the firemen
use a display built by them in
their spare time. There are six
sections to the display, which is
electrically powered.
The first unit of the display
is the fire triangle illustrating
the three things heat, fuel and
oxygen necessary for a fire to
occur.
The second unit is a model of
a typical house wiring arrange
ment and it is used to explain
the dangers of electrical fires.
The power of gasoline is shown
by the third unit, known as the
bazooka." This is a tube
which a controlled gasoline ex
plosion is shown to the audience.
Gasoline vapor flow is shown by
the fourth section of the display.
An electric arc, known as Ja
cob's Ladder, is shown in the
fifth section.
In the last unit, the firemen
show the students that gasoline as
a liquid will not burn, but that
gasoline fumes are volatile.
Chief Gordon said that after this
week, this display and iectuie
will be offered to organizations
other than schools.

Proposed Street Vacating
Met With Strong Protest
A Klamath Falls businessman
strenuously objected Monday
night to the proposed vacating ol
a portion of Oak Street by the
city council, and said he would
probably file suit if the council-
men persist in the action.
The businessman, Don Van
Fleet, councilmen and the pro
ponent of the vacating action,
John Moehl of Modoc Lumber
Company, argued the proposal
for an hour and a half betore
the council decided to postpone
a decision.
The council did. however, va
cate a portion of Third Street for
Modoc Lumber. This was not
contested by Van Fleet, who was
accompanied by an attorney at
tlie meeting.
Councilmen said they would
study tlie situation further be
fore making a decision.
Van Fleet owns two lots near
the foot of Oak Street and adja-j
cent to Lake Ewauna. He said
he intends to develop the site
into a manufacturing plant and
that vacating Oak Street would
cut his access to the property
by one-half.
Through his attorney. Van
Fleet said machinery already at
the site is valued at more than
$40,000 and the land itself at
about $100,000.
Vacating of Oak Street, he said,
would leave Second Street as the
only access to his property. And.
he said, Second Street is con
gested with lumber and vehicles
from Modoc.
Van Fleet said he has plans for
developing a small manufactur
ing plant at the site and would
need both rail and rood transpor
tation facilities.
Council Waller Fleet suggested

Monday afternoon .when his log
ging truck overturned on a private
logging road 18 miles north of
here.
Peace Ambulance reported that
Melvin Crumpacker, 430 Washing

that vacating Oak Street would
actually improve the Second
Street access by removing Modoc
Lumber traffic from that street
and asked Van Fleet's reaction
to this suggestion.
"Our reaction, of course, is one
of horror," the attorney replied.
Moehl said his firm has plans
for the development of the sile
as an industrial park and indi
cated that several other firms
are interested in moving into the
site.
He changed his original re
quest and asked for vacating of
Oak just between Second and
Third and not clear to the lake.
Also, he asked vacating Third
from Oak to Willow streets. The
latter request was granted.
Subdivider John Glubrecht ap
peared before the council and
asked a zoning change for tlie
Loma Linda addition to allow
construction of multiple - family
residences.
He said several contractors are
interested in building six- or eight
unit apartment houses there. The
request was referred to the plan
ning commission.
The council set a hearing for
Sept. 28 on a request for a permit
by Keith O'Hair to build a new
mortuary and postponed action
on the Klamath TV-Cable fran
chise until further information is
obtained.
