IIKRAI.I) AND NEWS, Klututh Fall. Orrjon
BY JOE CARAHER
A phone call came in the other day from Doug
Puekett of Keno. Doug had one of those "Ain't Nature
Grand" items he thought our good readers should
know about.
"There's a Christmas tree out here the likes of
which I've never seen," Doug reported. He said, in
fact, that 22 trees were growing out of one stock and
that the whole confounded thing was completely dec
orated and on display at the Whoa Tavern.
Travellers happening into the vicinity, who want
to view this phenomenon, better pull hard on the reins
and yell "whoa" at the Whoa.
If you'd like to see a different Christmas tree
closer to home, there's a beauty in the middle of the
swimming pool at the Union Manor apartments, one
of the artistic things Dorothea Nolan has done in con
nection with the Yule, 1963. Strangers, especially
those who may have had a few snorts before arriving
and who want to get a real close look at the tree:
Beware! There's water in the pool and it's colder than
the bathtub on Saturday night.
Newcomers are usually asked if they like Klam
ath Falls and in our case the answer, naturally, is
"We sure do!"
You get to thinking about what it is you like
about the area. It could be summed up something as
follows:
The "buzy-ness" of Main Street, which gives the
impression the city's larger than it really is, and the
hustle of C of C Mgr. George Callison.
The number of well-kept parks and the fact the
citizens are farsighted enough to have a good rec
reation director, Gary Woodring.
The hot springs which heat people's homes, cer
tainly a unique arrangement. Steam coming out of the
ground reminds you of Yellowstone Park. And it makes
you wonder why, after all these years, Klamath
doesn't have a spa and attract people to these springs
from all over the West. There are several places with
the same kind of hot water that do Sol Due in North
west Washington, Harrison Hot Springs in British Co
lumbia and Hot Springs, Montana:
A newcomer is impressed with all the sunshine
but not unhappy about the present wet spell as the
latter makes the fairways greener and the trees taller
and those mountain lakes more blue. Besides rain here
makes snow at higher elevations providing lots of fun
for skiers at places like Chemult. Shortage of snow at
Willamette Pass has made it real tough for operators
of same, several of w h o m are schoolteachers who
dropped $10,000 apiece into the venture and so far, so
an informant confides, they have realized no profit. So
a little snow would be great for these folks.
A newcomer is impressed with a lot of good things
about Klamath like the friendliness of the people, the
beauty of the city's churches, the quality of its restau
rants and many, many of its homes. The airport and
the terminal building are terrific. The highway to and
from the airport is not so hot. You get a poor image of
the city en route into town from there. Too many run
down shacks. v
You're impressed with the view of the city from
the living room vantage point at the "Juck" Juckeland
home, the exciting new Oregon Tech campus and the
fact the city is near a lake. You are surprised some ef
fort hasn't been made to beautify the part of the lake
closest to town; things like eliminating or sawing off
pilings that stick out of the water, and landscaping the
shoreline.
A newcomer is not impressed with the long list of
persons whose names appear in the paper for being
drunks or vagrants or for shooting someone else. These
items give the community a bad image but then the
newspaper only reports the news. It doesn't make it.
A newcomer is impressed with the quality of
schools, the teachers and the administration of them
but not with the rhubarb that has been so continuous
with respect to consolidation and boundaries.
A newcomer is taken by the sounds of the city, the
our "beeps" of the train as it takes off for the Siski
yous or northward toward the sprawling Winema Na
tional Forest: the screech of the F-101's as they whistle
overhead on a mission designed to save our skins in
the event of hostile attack certainly no small burden
for the commanding officer, veteran airman Col. Edwin
J. Witienburger. You're not too nutty about the blast
of the train's air horn or the piercing scream of the
jets if the noise occurs at night. But then these are
sounds of commerce and industry; the defense of our
nation. Probably the counteractor is to give up coffee
before retiring, taking a bromide or a solid rap on the
head.

Foreign Aid Program
Faces 1964 Overhaul
WASHINGTON' (IIPI) - The
multi-billion-dollar foreign aid
program, a cornerstone of Unit
ed States diplomacy since short
ly after World War II. may be
in for a massive overhaul in
19M.
The difficulties that President
Johnson and his predecessor the
late President Kennedy encount
ered this year in steering the
program through a frequently
hostile Congress prompted the
latest scrutiny of the often crit
icized aid program.
The House and the Senate
slashed Kennedy's $4.5 billion
aid request to S3 billion after
a long and bitter debate which
still has not ended. Even the
usually friendly Senate Foreign
Relations Committee urged a
wholesale reappraisal of the
program.
The Senate meets Monday
and is expected to pass the biil
appropriating the money for the
present fiscal year, already al
most half over.
President Johnson's new com
mittee to review the aims and
operations of the program held
its first full-dress session Fri
day. The eight-man study group,
under the chairmanship of Un-
dersccretary of Slate George
Rail, is charged with seeking
ways to streamline administra
tion of the program and "all
possible means to achieve econ
omies and efficiencies."
Juhnson, in announcing for
mation of the study group
Thursday, instructed it to con
duct an "intensive review" of
the controversial aid program,
w ith particular emphasis on pos
sible economics.
Officials said the President
wanted the review to give his
administration a basis for pro
ducing a foreign aid program
next year whicK can be justi
fied more effectively to the Congress.
Contempt Of
Filed Against
NEW YORK (L'PIi - Con
troversial Congressman Adam
Clayton Powell. D-N.Y., w a s
held in contempt of court Fri
day for failure to heed a legal
summons in connection with a
$211,500 libel judgment against
him.
The Harlem Democrat was
ordered to pay the full amount
Gunmen Rob
Bend Home
BEND lUPIi Two men re
portedly broke into a home at
Sisters at gunpoint early Satur
day and then fled with two com
panions in a stolen car after one
of them raped a 17-year-old girl.
Bend city police later arrest
ed four youths from the Seattle
area and charged them with
larceny of an auto and cany
ing concealed weapons. Taken
into custody were Orland Ray
Summers. 24; Jerry Harvego,
IB; Dennis Frederick Marchet
ti, IB. and Hal Rucker, 15.
Police said they found three
revolvers and a rifle in the car
and another pistol in Summers'
waistband.
The car reportedly w-is taken
at gunpoint from the home of
Mr. and Mis. Jess Gray at Sis
ters. Slate police indicated more
serious charges might he filed
against at least one of the men
early this week.
Sisters City Marshal Fred
Painter said the men also look
J17.50 from the house. He spec
ulated that robbery was the or
iginal motive for the break-in.
A car reported stolen in Wash
ington was found nearby.
Court Charge
Rep. Powell
or to appear in court here on
Jan. for a determination of
whether he could pay any
amount of the settlement. The
latter probably would entail a
complete study of Powell's fi
nancial status.
However, his lawyers said the
congressman would appeal the
decision. Powell was at his res
idence in Puerto Rico.
Powell stepped Into the libel
suit during a television inter
view in 10. He was in the
midst of a campaign against
gambling and alleged police
corruption in Harlem. During
the interview he labeled Mrs.
Esther James, a fifi-year-old
Harlem widow, as a "bag worn- !
an (grail collector) for the po
lice department."
Mrs. James sued and won (he
judgment earlier this year.
However, attempts to collect
the money failed and Powell did
not answer a court summons in
September. He contended
through his lawyers that it was
illegally served.
One subpoena had been
lacked to the door of his apart
ment in Manhattan and a sec
ond had been mailod to him.
State Supreme Court Justice
Arthur Markewich ruled Friday
that the subpoena had been
served according to due
process. However, he said
Powell could purge himself of
contempt by paying the total
judgment or appearing in court
for examination.
Bet Nets
50 Grand
MIAMI (UPD A casually
dressed mystery man walked
out of Tropical Park Friday
with his pockets stuffed with
$30,678.61) in cold cash the
biggest twin double payoff in
Florida on a $2 bet.
The man, who would identify
himself only to (he Internal Rev
enue Service men at (he big
payoff window, was the only
one of about .10.001) who picked
the winner of the fifth, sixth,
eighth and ninth races.
The winning horses were 13
I, 40-1, 2-1. and 3-1 shots and
the odds of hitting the big one
were fantastic.
Climb Ends
In 2 Deaths
EVERETT, Wash. (UPD A
rescue party resumed efforts
Saturday to bring out the bodies
of a Seattle man and his 12-year-old
son who died on the slopes
of Ml. Index early Friday
morning of cold and exhaustion.
Dangerous terrain and light
conditions forced a halt to the
attempt Friday night to recov
er the bodies of Horace Gates,
41, and his son, Frank.
A second son. Louis, 13, was
found unconscious about- 50
yards from the remains of a
fire apparently built to keep the
group warm.
Gates was found dead with an
arm around Frank. A third son.
William, lfi, hiked down the
mountain during the night to
alert authorities of the trouble
at the 3,000-foot level of the 5.-M9-foot
peak. He was treated
for exposure at a Monroe,
Wash., hospital and sent home.
