Said Coos Bay City Manager J. Walter Barham: I am naturally quite pleased by the progressive action taken by the people of Coos Bay.

Empire and Coos Bay have always cooperated on their mutual problems but this action Will make all of their problems mutual. Together, we will be able to concentrate our combined resources and efforts on the progressive and orderly dec'-opment of the Bay Area. Managers To Meet Edwvd English (Empire city manager) and myself plan to meet in the next few days and work out in detail the integration and administration of the various departments' within our combined areas. English also found the size and margin of the Coos Bay vote a source of gratification. It indicates to me that the people of Coos Bay have extended a warm welcome to the people of Empire to become a part of the larger city.

There are many details which will need to be worked out and the task will require much hard work but the job can be done and done well with the cooperation of the people and the employes of both cities 'Playful7 Act Starts Fight Pengahma intercepted a boat off the guerrilla coast early today and captured four heavily armed Indonesians in what was regarded at first as another landing attempt.
