CHAMBER
OMMENTS
by GEORGE T. 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.

able, informal rally in Klamath

among them was one pledging

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.
