Just about the time the police officer is the busiest, he finds the reporter on the job demanding all the answers. No matter how rushed he may be, the officer must take time to give the reporter the material he needs for his "yarn." In the mean time, the photographer is busy shooting pictures and the, officer must be sure that the photographer doesn't tranyp around where he will destroy clues, or include in his pictures something that, for purposes of investigation, shouldot be published. ' S All members of The News-Review staff are uivfler instruc tions to cooperate with the police in every way possible while still reporting the news. Yet t arje aware that the demands from the press must irritate ''peace officers at times. ' ' Despite any irritation, however, 3Pi News-Review enjoys exceptionally fine cooperation ffom all police agencies and individual peace officers in this area. This condition is especially appreciated as xe read in trade magazines of some less favorable relations' elsewhere. One of our magazines tells how in an eastern city four newspaper cameranyn' were roughed-up by the police and their equipment mashed when they attempted to make a .picture' of -Ml automobile impounded in connection with a ' hit-rii 'case. ' '' : t- Other instances have been reported in which newsmen and photographers have suffered bodily assault from police officers, x As we read of these cases we can be doubly appreciative of the courtesy and cooperation received from local officers. We realize, too, that reporters and cameramen are not always deserving. The reporter and press cameraman are generally recognized to have certain rights which cannot be extended to the general public. They usually are passed through fire lines, permitted to inspect scenes of wrecks and disasters, allowed to risk their own lives in areas from which the public has been evacuated because of storm, fire, disaster, etc. But, upon occasion, newsmen will be found who abuse their privilege and show no appreciation for courte sies normally granted them by peace officers. On the other hand, police newsmen full access to the news, either in words or pictures. Reporting police and crime news frequently raises prob lems for the' newspaper. The average newspaper insists upon publishing all the news to which the public is entitled. Yet, at times, to publish all cers in the apprehension of a criminal. The newspaper in such cases must decide whether certain information shall be withheld temporarily to give officers opportunity to capture the criminal or to publish all details . and perhaps give the criminal a chance to escape. These cases demand the utmost confidence between peace officers and newsmen, and it is here that our local officers have best demonstrated their cooperation with The News "Review. Our reporters on numerous occasions have been trusted with secret information, have been given progress reports, publication of which would seriously complicate criminal investigation,, and have, in general been kept abreast of information available to police. The News-Review, in turn, has endeavored to give its readers all the informa tion possible without interfering with the processes of law and order, and when no reason existed for further with holding of important details, has given the public the full story. This, we believe, is the ideal situation. It can exist only when newsmen and peace officers are in full cooperation. As we' read of friction between the press and police in 'some other communities, we are extremely grateful for the many courtesies, aid and trust from the police and court officers of our own area. Dike Planned To Protect Klamath Area Wildlife WASHINGTON UP) The Fish and Wildlife service proposes to reconstruct dikes to protect the lower Klamath national wildlife refuge In Northern California. Albert M. Day, director of the service, has asked the House Ap propriations subcommittee han dling the Interln. department bud pet to grant $150,000 for the work. Day said that the refuge be comes a deatn trap for thousands of ducks and geese because It is located on a reclamation project Unidentified Sub Prowls Near KODIAK, Alaska W) A cloak of of f lcla secrecy shrouds reports that an unidentified submarine was sighted Snday lurking with In half mile of one of the navy's far northern bases.

All were Interviewed by high ranking naval officers and said later they had been Instructed to divulge no-details. Admiral F. D.

"Reconstruction of the dikes will not only go lar toward curing this recurrent trouble," Day said, "hut will vastly Improve the man agement of this highly Important refuge."

Out S Wilfred Brown of Hollywood and Camas Valley very kindly took time out from writing the news for that program that "fiz zes" in order to send a most in teresting letter to this column answering the query about the Sunnydale School and Tin Pot. The schoolhouse mentioned In Oregon Pioneers by Rollein Dick- erson was at that time known as the Tin Pot school, later Sunny dale. The district has been for several years consolidated with Drain, but the building is still there and, Mr. Brown thinks, used now as a Grange hall. I was delighted to hear how Tin Pot came by it's name! - "The curious name of Tin Pot," says Mr. Brown, "by which that pleasant little valley was known for fifty years and more after It was first settled, Is reported to have resulted from an Incident that occurred during the first surveying of the lines of the do nation claims. "The cook of the surveyors' camp, so the story goes, was much pestered by g stray dog which swiped everything it could grab in the way of 'vlttles.' The The exasperated cook finally tied a worn tin pot to the poor crea Hal Boyle Says: Hypnotism Is Best Solution To Your Marital Problems By Hal Boyle NEW YORK im Have you hypnotized your wife or hus band? Why Not? This is the best solution of ev erybody's marital problems yet dreamed up. A New York professor recently indicated that problems of this nature can be solved by the mumbo-jumbo of hypnotism. He didn't say it quite like that. But he did say that he could hyp notize a gent, snap him out of it and yet still have the guy come back by post-hypnotic suggestion at 3 o'clock the following after noon to pet a big black dog that wasn't there. I say that this opens the - an swer to all the problems of th western world, which are largely male versus female rather than American against Russian. (The Russians must have as much trouble getting along with their wives as we do.) Going To Learn Personally, fellows, regardless of what you do. I am either going to learn to hypnotize my wife or hire a man to do It for me. How can a guy afford not to? You take the average wife. What does she give you but a lot of common sense and "love's old sweet yelp?"' She has n o real appreciation of the myster ies of life that makes existence worth enduring for the male. Her life is ruled by a crass sense of man's injustice, which Is the mixed product of ladv lonliness. lady insufficiency, and lady pro priety. For all this she blames her husband. A wife not only Insists on being boss, but she demands that she not be alone. This is the fatal foolishness that all dictators ger caught with: They never realize that power Is a solitary enter prise that nobody is going to admire them merely for their muscle. It also Is needless to point out that wives are the soft Instru ments of power In our civiliza tion. Why remark again upon of Sight, Out of By Viahnstt S. Martin ture's tail, and, it is said, the dog ran yelping the full, length of the valley with the pot banging along behind it. 'The surveyors," continues Mr. Brown, "lacking more imaglna tion, named the valley Tin Pot, The old settlers were quite out raged when the local schoolboard, which included, some 'newcomers,' decided that Tin Pot lacked aes thetic qualities, and named the school the 'Sunnydala school,' about 50 years ago. They even had a sign painted saying it was the . Sunnydale school . gradually the name came to be accepted. ' . - t "Just to the north of Tin Pot is another small valley which was called Hardacrabbls, apparently from the difficulties the early settlers had In getting in and out of it In muddy weather and possibly In earning a living .as well. The father of H. H. Davis, author of 'Honey In the Horn,' once taught Hardscrabble school, Davis himself was born at Yon- calls . . Hardscrabble is now called Eureka, although the stream which flows out of the valley and runs Into Elk creek Is still called Hardscrabble creek. Thanks very much, Wilfred Brown! the female fist In the velvet glove? We all have felt it. Our only possible defense i s hypnotism. Personally, I have no desire to fork out $15 to a hypnotist who will mesmerize my wife into calling at my library In mid afternoon to pat a non-existent daschund. Let's be realistic, even if It costs $25. If I can hire a mumbo Jumbo artist who will get her to pat me lovingly on the cheek on the morning after the night be fore under the mistaken impres sion that I am a misunderstood Saint Bernard. . . . well? Bow wow! The only danger I can see it that this terrible weapon of hyp notism may fall into w 1 f e 1 y hands. Looking at it that way, boys, our secrets are gone. Our favor ite bartenders will sell us help lessly down the river at the snap of female fingers. Our little white lies will stand out like five o' clock shadow at 10 p.m. or like John Dllllnger at an FBI chow der party. Believe me, friends, hypnotism should never become the poof woman's radar. But it can be man's best friend if he doesn't dog it. WEEDS HELP ART LOS ANGELES OF Weeds are a nuisance to most folks. But to Mrs. Caroline Martin they are the -a materials of art. Mrs. Martin strips the buds and blos soms from weeds in her back yard and vacant lots and fashions them Into miniature floral ar rangements. Most of her miniatures are un der six Inches high. The smallest is a bouquet tucked into a bed which serves as a vase. She uses such odd objects as .22 caliber cartridges, buttons and pill box covers r- bases and sunpotts. Head of the Los Anceles Garden Club's miniature section, Mrs. Aiaitln nas won two first prizes fop her work at the International Flower show. Mind In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) They are like the salesman whose strongest argument Is that HE WILL MAKE AN . AWFULLY NICE COMMISSION FOR HIM SELF if he can only talk the cus tomer into buying the merchan dise. Any expert on salesmanship will tell you that is wrong. The customer doesn't care a hoot what it will do for the salesman. The customer is solely interested is what the merchandise that is under consideration will do for HIM. If we are going to keep free enterprise In the country, we're going to have . to. convince the kind of people who HAVE THE MOST VOTES that free enter prise will be better for them than the creeping socialism we seem to be headed for. If that isn't done, free enter prise is a dead duck. HERE'S an interesting dispatch from China: "Nan Han-Chen, a member of the COMMUNIST People's bank of Nanking, recently told a group of officials that North China farmers are paying at least 20 percent of their TOTAL PRO DUCTION in taxes. "He added that it takes the taxes of 30 farmers merely to feed and clothe one soldier, ex clusive of ammunition." . THE dispatch Is Interesting, I'd say, because It Indicates that in China the commies are going to have quite a Job In convincing the Chinese farmers that COM- MUNISM IS GOOD FOR THEM. Under the circumstances de. scribed In this dispatch, it looks like In China the communists are for communism because it Is GOOD FOR THEM. I wouldn't blame the Chinese farmer If h were skeptical of the communist arguments. a a ANYWAY, if we're going to keep free enterprise over here, we've got to make It perfectly clear that free enterprise is better for ALL THE PEOPLE anri not Just better for business people.

LEMAY " WASHINGTON (JP) Secretary - of . Agriculture Brannan has sounded a warning that the nation's entire economy is being en dangered by a 2,000,000,00-a-year' drop In farmers' purchasing power. In terms of 1947 dollars, farm families have been losing pur chasing power at that rate for two years, Brannan told a House committee. ' t "It could drop another S2.000.. 000,000 In 1950, or another 15 per cent, if farm prices aren't Im proved," he said, adding: - . I cannot conceive of a grow ing economy durlne a period when agriculture Is going through an economic wringer. We must guard against that Brannan's statement was re leased by the house appropriat ions committee. He made it as he appeared before a subcom mittee to argue lor his depart ment's appropriation for the next year. He put in a plug for the "Bran nan plan" to set uo a system of direct government subsidies for tne producers of many farm pro ducts. ' There he met Immediate nnnn. sition, with some subcommittee members arguing that the cost of such a program might run as high as $30,000,000 a year. Under Brannan's plan many farm commodities would be al lowed to sell at what the markets would pay, with the government supplementing farmers' income by production payments or sub sidies. Subcommittee chairman Whit- ten (D-Miss) argued that the iarmer snouia get his income in the market place. Instead of from a subsidy. Subsidies Not Favored The present farm program Is designed to support market pri ces through government loans and purchases intended to re move price depressing surpluses from the markets. Several committeemen told Brannan they want to strengthen the present program instead of shifting to subsidies. Farm price supports have cost the treasury only $1,000,000,000 in 10 years, he saia. Brannan testified that "while farm income has come down more than 20 per cent since 1947, the personal incomes of non-farm people have gone up 10 per cent. Then he gave some details. "How well are farmers doing? They are still making more than twice as much money as before the war. But everybody else seems to be doing as well or better and, actually, farmers have been making less every year for the past few years. "Last year they had less than four-fifths as much as in 1947. Next year they may have only two-thirds as much as in 1947. "Since 1947, gross farm cash income has fallen more than $2,000,000,000, and cash expenses have gone 'up by more than $1,000,000,000." , Mutt Heed Warning Signs ' Although the trends have not Impressed all the citizens.
