At the hour this is written, this
seems to bo PROBLEM DAY in
the news.
Astronaut Carpenter reports that
when ho was whizzing around the
earth out there in space his candy
melted and his cookies crumbled.
The candy problem is simple
enough. Candy melts when it gets
hot, and the temperatures in car
pentcr's capsule ran as high as
105. The cookie problem is more
complicated. The cookies apparent
ly just DISINTEGRATED.
Th3 cookie problem has two of
our gigantic corporations stumped.
They admit they don't know what
caused tho crumbling. They are
awaiting f'irllier reports from the
covernment on just what happen
ed. But, they say, they stand ready
to push research on the subject to
the hilt
One of their experts, however,
makes 't plain that it will be more
a patriotic labor of lovo than any
urgo for profits. Ho adds: "Wo
don't expect food for astronauts to
become a lug volume iicm ai
least very soon."
Carnenler himself is obviously a
pragmatist. He says tho cookie
snacks were contained in
OPAQUE baa and he thinks at
least they ought to be put in a
TRANSPARENT sack "so that a
fellow -'an see the crumbs and
take steps to keep them from fall

4 The News-Review, Roseburg,
A NEWSMAN PASSES
By Charles V. Stanton
Two newspapermen with whom I had close persona!
rolntinnshin in former vears have passed away. A few
Inst, nur imod
urday Wayne Pettit died in a Salem hospital.
It was my pleasure and good fortune to know both men
somewhat intimately.
Reizenstein and I were "workinpr partners" for .1 good
many years, sharing the problems of daily publication of
The Roseburg News-Review.
But before I knew Louie, I received my "knocks"
from Pettit.
Pettit was the lone reporter for the Evening News
when, during high school vacation, I was given a job as
"printer's devil."
Roseburg then had two newspapers, The Daily Eve
ning News and The Roseburg Review. Pettit was the re
porter for the first, Reizenstein for the second.
Both papers were made up largely of "personals,"
highly inflated local copy, a few hundred words of coded
telegraph news, and a good deal of clipped material from
exchanges, plus some "boiler plate. the latter was mis
cellaneous material on metal casts of various sizes, used
to fill "holes" for which there was no local composition.
Learned The Hard Way
In those days the newspaper contained a list of the
people registered at the hotels, passengers on stages to
the coast, names of those going and coming on the sev
eral passenger trains each day.
Pettit decided he could best use his time if he wasn't
compelled to do this routine, time-consuming work. So
he made an arrangement with the boss whereby I was to
work as a reporter in the morning and move to the me
chanical department in the afternoon.
Publishers of the time didn't have a very good opin
ion of graduates of courses in journalism, then just get
ting a start. Schools of journalism were to come later.
Publishers felt the way to train a reporter was to put him
under an experienced reporter and editor and let him learn
the hard way. And I can verify that Pettit was a most
vigorous and forceful teacher and that the editorial side
of newspapering was figuratively pounded into my head.
Wayne was a reporter of the old school with a real
nose for news." Though he remained active as a report
er until he was more than 75
zest and enthusiasm for, a story. He could have accepted
many of the offers to become an editor, but to Pettit there
was no higher calling than to be a reporter.
He believed in reporting
tempts to keep him from sources of news material.
Sought By Police
I'll never forget the time
ing a statewide search for a bank robber who had taken
to the hills. Posses were following out every trail they
thought might lead to the bandit's capture. They were
trying to keep their movements
But every night Pettit had
telling the location of each postse and the progress of the
search. The sheriff mid district attorney were virtually
tearing their hair. The judge
tnrentening a grand jury investigation. Tho police were
socking high and low to capture Pettit for grilling.
What they didn't know was that Pettit was hiding out
in the basement of the building, where he was writing his
stories trom information he
gather.
As Salem correspondent
which ho served for some '10
personal popularity, was the

Pettit was the exponent of

DEAR
Abigail Van Buren
Danger Signals!
DEAR ABBY: I have a friend
named Dora. Her husband is a
wife-chaser. Red doesnt care
what he chases as long as she's
married. Ho says it is dangerous
for a married man to run around
with single girls. One of them
might take him seriously. When a
married woman takes up with a
married man, she kn-,vs it's all
in fun.
Dora is a very quiet, religious
type and has never caught onto
Red's chasing. Should we tell her?
Or should we let her find out for
herself? The wife is always the
last to know. She might be able to
straighten him out before some
woman's husband shoots him. He
is now chasing me.

Recent-'Muzzling' Hassle
Has Counterpart: Babbling
WASHINGTON (UPD-The re
cent . controversy . over . alleged
"muzzling" at the Pentagon has
a counterpart on Capuul Hill
which might be defined as "bab
bling." It involves the tendency of con-
gessional witnesses to open the
floodgates of prolixity when they
are invited, or obtain permission,
to testify at committee hearings.
The problem has become so
acute as to induce one toy com
pany to design a "witness doll."
You wind it up and it bends your
ear.
It is my theory that many wit
nesses work on space rates. That
is, they are paid to present the
views of various, groups under a
scale based on the number of
words they can get into tho print
ed record.
Be that as it may, there is no
doubt that babbling is burdensome
to tile committees. Over the
years, some of the best minds in
Congress have grappled with the
question of how to curtail it.
Several Suggestions Made
Suggestions have been made for
building trap doors under the wit
ness chairs and for installing de
vices that would automatically
signal a fire drill when testimony
exceeded a certain length.
These proposals, however, seem
inconsistent with the basic right
of a citizen to exercise his tongue,
and none has been adopted.
Now along comes Sen. Eugene

Republican Campaign Fuel:
Kennedy's Bid For Power
WASHINGTON (NEA) Re

campaign argument that the Ken

Former President Eisenhower
expressed his concern over the
trend toward extended federal gov

Washington, after conferring with
COP leaders on Capitol Hill.
Shortly thereafter Rep. Ilk-hard

"This attempted power grab is
aimed at imposing a planned econ

would end the American free en

The case supporting this argu

While talking with a group of
reporters the other day, McCar
thy noted that the Senate Finance
Committee, of which he is a
member, is preparing for hear
ings on President Kennedy's trade
program.
Past experience indicates that
the hearings will run for several
weeks. But McCarthy has devised
a plan which, if adopted, un
doubtedly would shorten them by
as much as 75 per cent.
Would Require Presence
Simply stated, it would require
each witness to sit through the
testimony of all the other wit
nesses. McCarthy figures that if wit
nesses were forced to listen to
each olher thoy would voluntarily
begin to fetter their vocal cords
out of a mutual desire for self
preservation.
Unfortunately, however, McCar
thy's plan doesn't deal with the
related problem of committee
members who question witnesses
at great length and then disap
pear. To be truly effective, if would
have to be expanded to require
that each member sit through the
questioning by all the other mem
bcrs.
You can bet that would make
a member think twice before ask

5. Requested authority to reduce
or eliminate all tariffs on farm
products not produced in quantity
in the U.S.
6. Kennedy farm programs which
would impose tighter curbs on pro
duction of wheat, feed grains and
dairy products.
7. Requested authority for Pres
ident to name his own Federal Re
serve Board chairman for four

The other 13 items on the policy
committee list include four items
which cover reorganization of 10
different government administra

Seven of these reorganization

They would have applied to Fed

In Russia: Too Many Dollars
Are Chasing Too Little Goods
NEW YORK (AP) Nikita
Khrushchev borrow" from capi
talism's classic definition of in
flation- to explain to the Russian
people what s happening lo their
cost of eating:
Too many rubles chasing too
few pounds of butter and meat.
This is what happened to the
cost of living in the United States
in the first postwar years: Too
many dollars chasing too few
goods. '
Today the inflation problems of
the United States and the Soviet
Union aren't comparable. Here
there are plenty of goods despite
the much greater rise in wages
and other income here than there.
Any inflationary threat here lies
in cost-push on prices and the
Treasury deficit's influence on the
money supply and credit.
Khrushchev explained that he
had raised wages and pensions so
much that the Russian people
have too many rubles to buy the
available butter and meat. So he
is boosting prices to discourage
buying and to give farmers more
incentive to produce.
Western economists doubt it
this is the explanation. They think
the real problem is that commu
nired agriculture doesn't produce
well, in contrast to the American
system that produces surpluses.
Westerners also Uunk tnat the
Soviet premier has withheld funds
needed to spur Russian agricul
tural production because he was
putting the lion's share of availa

E, Roseburg Resident
Objects To Wrecking Lot
To The Editoi,
I am a resident of East Rose
burg. It may come as a surprise to
some people, but there are quite a
number of us who own homes in
this area. Not many pretentious
homes, it's true. But good, clean
homes occupied by working peo
ple. I believe we work just as
hard at keeping up our homes, and
making them attractive, as do the
so-called elite of Roseburg.
Two vears ago we voted to join
just the opposite to what we had
expected.
Last week we had a bomb drop
ped in our laps.
It seems that the good City Coun
cil has issued a permit for opera
lion of an automobile wrecking
yard on Diamond Lake Boulevard,
: risht in our midst.
As I understand, there is a state
'.prohibiting the burning of car
bodies within three miles of the
city limits. Doesn't this appear
that perhaps the stale is giving a
gentle hint to help keep our cities
cleaner? But what does our City
Council do but go merrily along,
ignoring such a hint, continuing to
detract from our city's appearance
by permitting such a business to
be conducted inside Ihe city lim
its. Also, since Diamond Lake
guess what, folks; our good mayor
didn't even know where the wreck
ing yard was to be! He was under
the impression that it was about
three-fourths of a mile closer to the
city center.

week's stock market break also
is that inflation is no longer a
way of life in the United States
meaning, stock prices, like olh
er ' prices, can't go on rising for
ever.
But along with this explanation
conies a great deal of talk about
the need to halt the continuing
wage-price spiral that caused so
much trouble in the past, lest in-
flation get a new lease on life.
And the chances of halting it
aren't any too certain yet.

LET'S GO Ji
CAMPING!
4-1
As the final bell marks the end
of another school year, families
all over America are saying,
"Let's go camping!"
This year a record number of
folks will pile sleeping bags and
cooking pots in -the family car
for a vacation under canvas in
our woods and open spaces.
If you're lucky enough to find a
spot in a regular campground,
ordinary precautions with fires
will do. But thousands of fami
lies will have to set up camp in
undeveloped areas.
If vou are one of these families,
SMOK.EY asks you to follow
these rules to prevent forest
fires:
1. Locate your fireplace in a cir
cle of bare earth. Build up rocks
or dig a shallow hole to enclose
your lire.
2. Keep your lire small and
put it dead out when you leave.
3. F ill catnpstoves and lanterns
in an area cleared to bare earth.
4. Soak used charcoal with water
and bury in cool damp earth.
5. Sit down to smoke clear a
place lor hot ashes, matches,
and cigarette stubs.
Remember- only YOU can
PREVENT FOREST FIRES!
