Times, Corvallis, Oregon, Wednesday, April 8, 1964 Demonstration Victim Former OSU Student The father of Rev. Bruce Klunder said his son became interested in civil rights while attending Oregon State University, when he first decided to become a minister. Rev. Klunder, 26, was crushed to death in Cleveland, Tuesday when a bulldozer working at the site of a new high school a Negro district backed over him. Rev.

Klunder graduated from OSU in 1958 and from Yale Divinity School in 1961. While at Oregon State he was president of the Y-Round table his senior year. The victim's father, Everett Klunder, said in Baker yesterday, "The more he got into it (the ministry), the more he became interested in civil rights." Klunder said he would not try to fix the blame for, the tragedy on anything "other than just racial hate and feeling." Rev. Klunder graduated from Baker high school- in 1954. He was born July 12, 1937, in Greeley, Colo.

At Oregon State he was also active in the Westminster Foundation and was a member of the OSU marching band and the Acacia fraternity. He was married to the former Joanne Lehman of Dayton in December of 1956. His wife was an honor student and member of Mortar Board at Oregon State. Klunder received his B.A. in science here and finished with a 3.28 grade point average.

After graduating from the Yale Divinity School, Rev. Klunder was YMCA student director at Western Reserve and Case Institute a at Cleveland before taking a post as YMCA secretary for the Cleveland Student Christian Union in September, 1961. The parents and sister of the victim left today for Cleveland to attend memorial services. Rev. Klunder had willed his body to science.

The elder Klunder is an employe of the Commercial Welding Co. in Baker. His wife, Marie Rev. Klunder's stepmother is Baker County treasurer. In addition, Rev.

Klunder is survived by his wife and two children, Janice Marie, 6, and Douglas Bryan, 3. CONTINUED Showdown affirmed Supreme Court Friday, April 10." To Post Work Rules A spokesman for Wolfe said the rules would be posted on all major roadie except the Southern Railway, Florida East Coast, and the Central of Georgia. Those carriers are bargaining separately. The unions had been attempting to conduct individual negotiations with Southern Pacific and the Louisville Nashville. Restraining orders were obtained by the companies to prevent against them.

The railroads' strategy has been to block any separate talks and force the unions into nationwide bargaining. They felt that if they succeeded, the government would intervene to stop any national shutdown of the railroads even if legislation we necessary. The dispute began in November, 1959, when the railroads submited demands for sharp reductions in crew sizes and overhaul of the pay system. The unions countered with demands for increased pay and no change in makeup of crews. Proclaiming the strike against the Illinois Central 100 per cent effective, a spokesman for the four striking unions said "we're out until we get a Check Case Ousted After Trial Starts A check written on a nonexistent bank was ruled Tuesday to be not a crime under the law which the state sought prosecution.

Circuit Judge Fred McHenry dismissed a charge of obtaining money by false pretences that had been filed against Merlyn J. Couey, 35, Philomath. The jury trial had proceeded to the point of the state having rested its case when the defense asked for dismissal and won its point in the chambers. The check was written out to the "1st National Bank, Corvallis, Oregon." Because there is no such bank, Couey could not be prosecuted under the section of the law spelled out in the indictment, the judge said. Another law was available for prosecution, but because Couey had been put in jeopardy by having the trial actually started he can not be prosecuted again on the same charge, Deputy District Attorney Frank Knight said.

Phone 753-7067 $93,000 Lawsuit Follows Car Crash Two lawsuits totaling $93,000 have been filed in circuit court here as result of a traffic accident last August. One suit, asking $75,000 general damages and $2,752 special damages, was brought by Mrs. Cleo Ervin, 41, Corvallis. The other was brought by Darla Ervin, 17. She asks $15,000 general damages and $323 special damages.

Named defendant was Jerry Lee Upward, 21, Philomath. The two plaintiffs were passengers in a car driven by Nicholas L. Lutz, 20, Corvallis, on August 24, 1963. The car collided with one driven by Upward' at 23rd and Collidge Drive. The plaintiffs were hospitalized with injuries.

Also a passenger was Mary McDermott, 16, Corvallis, who is not named in the suit. Rape Charge Brings Arrest, $7500 Bail A charge of statutory rape was lodged against Robert Phillip Kelly, 20, who allegedly took two underage girls to his ment at 745 North 10th, according to police reports. Kelly heard the charge against him read in district court Monday. He was remanded to county jail, with bail set at $7,500, to await further appearance for entering a plea next Monday. Kelly was said to have picked up the two girls, both from Albany, at a local service station after 2 a.m.

last Friday and to have taken them to his apartment. CONTINUED Off The Beat Park officials agree that the pit is not well designed. The long range plan for the consolidated zoo has a modern pit, in which the bears will be on a higher plane than the viewing public and will be more exposed to fresh air and breezes. This fact alone will eliminate much of the animal smell. THE ZOO ODORS are more noticeable to 200 visitors in Avery park than at the Portland zoo or other large facilities because the animals and birds are separated only by one wire fence from the public.

As Mrs. Henderson said, "you get exactly the same animal smell at the Portland zoo when inside or to the windward side of the occupants." Avery park ZOO residents are healthy, park officials noted. The only time there has been trouble was during a virus epidemic, when several animals were lost. Robertson added that on any given day families can be observed coming to the park just to see the animals and birds, which hold a great attraction especially for children. The question is one for the public to decide.

Parks and their ir facilities are maintained for community pleasure. The yearly budget is tight and just so much can be accomplished at a time. Right now, discounting the existing zoo, officials are proud of the way Avery park looks. During the Columbus Day wind storm 250 Douglas -fir trees were destroyed. Through donation of $400, 30 by Corvallis Chapter of Rotarians, plus another $100 by the park department, plus gifts received by nurserymen, 733 special trees and 50 azalea bushes have been planted.

This amounts to some $2,065.55 worth of plantings. "Funny thing," Robertson noted, "the question most asked of me by adults as well as children after the storm struck Avery park was 'what happened to the bears, hope they are all G-T Chess Tournament Playoffs In Three Divisions Will Start Playoffs in the three divisions of the Gazette Times Benton county chess tournament will start this weekend, with nine players vying for the three trophies.
