CALLISON Senate Sets Anti-Crime Study Areas WASHINGTON (UP!) - Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark., says that Tampa, Fla., Buffalo. N.Y.. and Boston are next on the list in Senate investigators' city - by- city scrutiny of syndicated crime. McClellan described as "shock ing" statistics presented Friday to his Senate investigations sub committee. Chicago Police Supt. 0. W. Wilson said gangland ex ecutioners in his area enjoyed odds of 300 to 1 that they would not be arrested and convicted. He told the subcommittee that of the 976 gangland-type murders in the Chicago area since 1919, only two have been cleared from police records by the arrest and conviction of the killers. Wilson, a former professor of criminology, offered this scholar ly definition of a crime syndi cate: . . .the combination of a number of persons who resort to criminal means in order to estab lish a monopoly in a financially profitable activity whether le gitimate or illegitimate." Capt. William J. Duffy, head of the Chicago police department's intelligence division, quoted the attorney general's division on or ganized crime to characterize the organization. KLAMATH COUNTY CM AMUR Of COMMI1CI Comments regarding the cham ber's annual meeting, held last Wednesday evening, indicate that this was probably the best such meeting staged by the chamber in several years. Of the many factors which con-i tribute to the success of such a meeting the caliber of the prin cipal speaker bears the most weight. In Stary Gangc, the wide ly traveled, optimistic champion of Americanism from Visalia, Calif., the chamber was fortunage to have a speaker of the very highest caliber. His ready and supple wit, cou pled with a down-to-earth sense of humor and a keen apprecia tion of the true values of life made it apparent within the first few minutes of his talk that he is indeed one of the 10 top platform speakers in the country today. One comment heard numerous! times during the last few days was to the effect that Gange, who spoke without the use of script or notes for 45 1 minutes, didn't carry on for another hour. It would be difficult, as a speak er, to earn higher praise than that. Reorganization of the cham ber's committees under the long range "7 by '70" program de scribed in the annual report, will take place during the next Bird Count.

Presi dent James F. Stilwell, along with the other officers and board members, hope to have the pro gram ready to roll by the first week in November, when the new board holds its first policy and planning session. Prior to that time, the board will meet to establish and ap prove a budget for the new fiscal year; directors will receive their assignments under the "7 by '70" program, and chairmen and per sonnel for the various working committees will be selected. The Okanogan-Cariboo Trail (Highway 97) Association, with the chamber is affiliated, held most successful 31st Annual Convention in Reno last Sunday and Monday, following an enjoy able, informal rally in Klamath Falls on Oct. 5.

Most noteworthy among them was one pledging association support for the desig nation of the highway and its ex tension south into Mexico as Pan-Am West An International Highway." Other significant res olutions affecting the entire length of the highway, call for OCTA action to expedite the sur facing of the Alaskan Highway north from Dawson Creek, B.C. to Alaska, and for redoubled ef fort in the various geographical districts through which the high way courses to stimulate interest in and travel on Highway 97. Cuba Says 496 Killed By Storm MIAMI (UPD-The Fidal Cas tro government, which refused American Red Cross aid as hyp ocritical, Saturday said Hurri- cane Flora killed at least 496 per sons on the island and "the toll is mounting." A government broadcast from Bayamo, monitored here, said that death reports are building as communications are re - estab lished with the hurricane - torn eastern half of the island. The broadcast said 319 bodies were found in an area near the Sierra Maestra Mountains Fri day and 177 more were found Saturday. Hundreds of persons are atoo the toofs of houses surrounded by floodwatcrs in the area," the broadcast said. It said 10 helicop ters were on the way to the area to give emergency aid. "The region looks completely devastated, and it is presumed that the destruction there is ter rible," tlie broadcast said. The radio report was sent to Capt. Jorge Risquet, Castro's mil itary aide in Oriente. It also said 50,000 bags of sugar were de stroyed in three mills in Oriente Province. Hurricane Flora, which killed 4.000 in an erratic trip across the Caribbean, pounded Cuba for four days without letup. Most of Flora's victims, however, were on the island of Haiti. The Cuban Red Cross, acting on orders from Premier Castro. refused emergency help offered by the American Red Cross say ing it was a hypocritical gesture "by a country that is trying to destroy us with economic block ades and other measures." Weeping Villagers Begin Identifying Italian Dam Victims BELLUNO, Italy (UPI) - Hun dreds of weeping villagers Satur day filed slowly past 200 coffins in a corn field in hopes of identi fying relatives killed in Wednes day night's Piave River Valley dam disaster. The twisted and mangled bodies of men, women and children were brought to a makeshift cemetery for burial, They were encased in cellophane bags and placed in pine coffins. Relatives anxiously lifted the lids in a search for their loved ones. Funeral services for the victims will be held Sunday at 11:30 a m in the cathedral of Belluno, with the Mass officiated by the bishop of Belluno and Fcltre, Msgr. Gio- acchino Moccin. Among the mourners will be Italian Presi dent Antonio Segnl. The mountain village of Lon- garone, which was wiped off the map by the fury of the devastat ing flood, was blocked off by Ital ian troops and police because of the threat of disease. So far, an estimated 1.900 bodies have been found. The final death toll is expected to run between 3,000 and 4,000. Large segments of the once beautiful Dolomite Mountain val ley were being sprayed with chemicals, and lime was spread on the carcasses of animals to prevent the spread of disease. Thousands of curiosity seekers and tourist were turned back at police barracks. Because of the threatened epi demic, the U.S. Army sent its helicopter crews, who have spent many long hours on mercy mis sions and body recovery details. back to their base in Verona for the night.' The Army said its men are to return in the morning for further duties in helping to transport food and medical supplies to isolated mountain villages in the area but that the men would eat C-rations for safety. Italian Senator Eugenio Artom said lie does not believe that the village of Longarone and the seven others destroyed by the flood ever will be rebuilt because there is no one to help rebuild them. The village of Erto above the dam was evacuated at noon Sat urday because there was a dan ger of new landslides. Italian ar my trucks transported the 400 villagers to other communities nearby. Meanwhile, a political storm was brewing over the landslide which caused tlie Vajont high dam to overflow and drown the valley. Four years ago the Com munist complained in the party newspaper unita that It was 'a wrong location to build the dam. Movie Star Is Married FORT LAUDERDALE, La. ( UPI ) June Allyson, husky-voiced screen star famous for roles as the naive girl, next door, married fashion barber Glenn Maxwell in quiel, simple ceremony here Saturday. Miss Allyson, 39-year-old widow of Dick Powell, and the handsome Maxwell were wed in the Mediter ranean - style home of Broward County Judge Boyd H. Anderson. A crowd of about 100 well-wishers surrounded the home during the 10-minule ceremony. Miss Allyson, wearing a black chantung jumper with a white turtlcneck blouse and a white whalebone beret, blushed and smilingly answered "yes. I do." to the silver-haired judge s questions. After the ceremony, the couple dashed to a limousine and roared away under police escort as the crowd called good luck, Junie. The couple decided on the civil ceremony when an Episcopal min ister said the marriage would re quire special permission of the church because Maxwell is divorcee. Maxwell, 31-year-old owner of two exclusive men's hairstyling shops in Newport Beach, Calif. met the actress three years before Powell's death.
