Thousands of
Acres of Pacific
Forest Lands Burn
SAN FRANCISCO, VPI — Ten
firefighters were burned in Cali
fornia and one was reported miss
ing in Oregon as flames ate thru
hundreds of thousands of acres of
Pacific Coast tifnber and brush
lands Thursday.
Some 2,300 weary firefighters
stopped a 65,000 acre blaze on a
front threatening Yreka, a little
logging and farm community
some 20 miles south of the Oregon
border. However, the fire ad
vanced unchecked on at least one
other front in the Klamath Na
tional Forest.
Klamath officials said another
fire exploded out of control along
Kudder Creek, approximately 25
miles southwest of Yreka, and
roared over an estimated 10,000
acres of timber and brush by mid
night.
Two other new fires on the Kla
math boosted the smoking and
charred forest’s burned area to
well over 100,000 acres. Damage
exceeded 3Vf> million dollars.
Traffic on U.S. Highway 101, f
the main north-sourth coastal ar
tery was halted because of the
menacing flames.
William Fisher, U. S. Forest
Service information officer, said:
“It is probably one of the worst
fire situations in 30 years and
maybe longer.”
Veteran fire fighters from Ore
gon, Washington and Utah were
being flown in to bolster more j
than 6,000 men battling fires in
various parts of the state.
Another hard hit area, Hum
boldt County on the northwestern
California coast, reported much
progress in the fight to check a
rash of fires that have blackened
more than 33,100 acres of price
less redwood and fir land.

Soviet Support Assures
Approval Of Plan For
Israeli-Egyptian Border
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., UP)—
Approval of a Western plan to
tighten border restrictions along
the tense Israeli-Egyptian frontier
was virtually assured Thursday
as a Soviet source indicated Rus
sia would support it.
The Soviet attitude became
known as the 11-nation Security
Council opened debate on the
Western resolution, submitted by
the United States, Britain and
France. No opposition was ex
pected from other delegations.
British Delegate Sir Pierson
Dixon led off the debate with an
appeal to Israel and Egypt to ag
ree to erection of physical bar
riers along the Gaza line which
separate the two countries.
Chief U. S. Delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge Jr., declared the
Council could not fail to register
its concern over the breaking off
of talks about border peace mea
sures. He said, however, that “the
situation calls for immediate ef- |
forts and not past recrimination.” j
