'1 :, star-1- FJ " Cross your lingers. - Hold your hat. It just could be that the algae problem in Upper Klamath Lake is on the way to being solved. That, of course, it of less interest r on this side of the mountains than -on the Klamath side. But in itself it is an interesting story. As explained by Ken McLeod, ; who has had a lot to do with tie research involved, it might come ; about luce this: By re-establishing the biological ; balance (the balance of nature) . that was disturbed when the al ; gae got out of control in the first . place. That happened in tms way .' In UDDer Klamath Lake, the al- ; gae (algae are simple plants that . grow in ponds, rivers, oceans ana ; even in the soil) found i water environment that was ideal. The ; water of the lake was enriched ' with nitrogen and phosphates com ' ing from the rich soil through , which the laJte'i tnouiary streams flow. '. The result was an algae popula ' tion exnloaion. The algae multi- ' Dlied fantastically, converting this ' once clear and lovely lake into , what has seemed to be threaten ing to become mush of green water plants. ; It was a tragedy. ' What to do about it? Most of the investigators who ' looked the problem over favored the poison idea which was natural ; because biological control of algae ' had not been observed in other ; parts of the country- - So poisoning the algae was tried, ,' as one poisons chickweed and oth- er weeds in a lawn. It reduced the ; algae population somewhat, . but not enough to clear up the waters ;of the lake. Besides, it soon be came obvioua that poisoning would be prohibitively expensive. ; For quite a while, the problem of algae control remained dor taent but the algae DIDN'T. They kept on multiplying. The lake be came increasingly messy. It be gan to look like Klamath Lake might never again be a clear and sparkling lake. Then " One of the scientists at the Uni versity of California called atten tion to a paper written by scien tists in Japan who were interested .in GROWING algae-for fertiliser for rice paddles. Japan Is chroni cally short of fertillier, and can't afford to import it in sufficient quantities because large importa tions would upset Japan's balance .of international payments. The Japanese tried growing al gae. They found they could grow it in large quantities. But Just as they got going good they were stymied by the fact that their al gae cultures were often destroyed -by swarms of wator fleas, or daph 'nin. Because of the regularity with ? which the daphnla destroyed the algae, the Japanese moro or loss .abandoned their algne fertillier project. But out of it came the Idea lot biological control of algae In Klamath Lake, the Klamath river .and lakes In northern California whose scenic beauty and recrea tional possibilities are being se verely damaged by the algae cx- plosion. '. This piece Is getting rather long for this column, which tries to be .brief. So the story of what has -been happening In Klamath Lake in the way of algae reduction will be told In a later Installment.

Frl., July 13. 1961 GOVERNMENT By Charles thp news wire irives us, I believe, a sample emanates from some oi our iniiuenuai yuiiutai reu. The news item said, in part: Kefauver, who oppose tr administration plan fer partial ownership In any satellite aald: "ATT claims It ha spent $45 million ef Its own money en Tolstar. The public should keep In mind that ATT stockholder are risking nothing. Whether success or failure, Telstar will h lulrf far bv the taxpayers and domestic telephone users." Certainly they'll pay for it? And why not? Is there anything wrong1 with that? And why shouldn't the federal government cooperate? It is spending billions in "do-gooder" activities all over the world. It is pouring huge sums down the rat hole in foreign countries allegedly to make friends and improve health, social and economic stanaarcis. nas aireciea puu lic money into grants, aids, benefits, parity payments, sur pluses, etc., at home. Why should it now balk at taking part in one of the most promising sciemiric aeveiopmenw of our age? Should it refuse because it might help a busi ness owned by millions of American citizens? Is "busi ness" such a naughty word that it is to be avoided? Shouldn't the government be helping its own citizens along with thnsa of foreicrn countries? ' British Policy The British Government has long had a policy of di rect partnership with business. It holds stock in banks. It is a part owner in a worldwide news service. It has a working interest in railroads and airlines. These, for the most part, are private industries in which the govern ment supplies part of the capital investment while sharing in the earnings. Our own government, it effectively utilize this system private industry, as it is doing. Certainly the users of communications equipment will pay. And again I ask, what Headers and advertisers newspaper. If we didn t receive enough from publication of this newspaper to pay our expenses and make a little profit we'd soon be out of business. We try to give a product worth what it costs. The purchaser pays for top of that, for the grocer's business rent, light, heat, pow er, insurance, taxes, and all the rest. That s the policy upon which our country was built. Tho customer pays. And, to get more customers, the merchant tries to keep his expenses down so he can do more business. The greater the volume of his business the lower his prices. If our communications can be made cheaper by a chain of satellites; if our communications can be made surer, thus adding to safety; if we are provided with a new de vice that will aid us in time of emergency, the slight amount to be charged users of communication equipment to achieve these results will be a most welcome cost. It will be regained many times in the future. Guilt By Implication , Not only will the users of communications equipment find their slight costs repaid many times over, but we'll receive untold benefits m live tne world, we 11 have an opportunity to see and hear ac tivities as they happen. That not only could add to our entertainment and our education but it could be a sub stantial protection in time of emergency. Sen. Kefauver in his statement is resorting, it seems to me, to the current policy of guilt by implication. For example he and his committee created quite a furor directed toward the drug Industry. He sought to make the people of this country believe our druggists are a bunch of crooks because the price of some drugs is high. But he quieted fast when brought face-to-face with the fact that millions upon millions of dollars are being spent in research and testing and that the drugs resulting from this research have added so many years to man's expected life span that the politicians are worried about how to pro vide for the old folks nnd, at the same time, furnish jobs for the younger ones. That's only one example of the "guilt by implication" tactics being used by some of our publicity-seeking politi cians. It's a great pity, in my opinion, that so manv people without stopping to think things through, will fall' for this fuzzy line, simply because it comes from a person high up in the government. DEAR Abigail She "Nose" DEAH ABBY: There Is a lady In our neighborhood whom we have nicknamed "The Inspector" bo cause she makes a habit of in specting everybody's trash. She ac tually goes around to the back yards and pokes Into trash cans to see what she can learn about the neighbors. She is not hard up and never takes anything she is just nosy.

WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Re publicans have another angry ruckus on their hands because former president Eisenhower seems to be pulling the rug from under the Republican Congres sional leadership. This took place at an all Re publican conference of party lead ers on June 30 at Eisenhower's Gettysburg farm. Ike was first up to speak. He said that he had been doing- some reading lately and identifi'd his reading matter as a periodical named Advance. Advance is published five times a year in Cambridge, Mass., by a group of young men led by pub lisher Bruce K. Chapman. The magazine describes itself as a journal of political thought. Magasine Praised Eisenhower told the Republi cans that Advance had the right ideas.' Ike said it was possible that publisher Chapman was among the assembled party lead ers. Sure enough, Chapman was and he stood up. Ike said every body should subscribe to Chap man's magazine. He : proposed that the Republican approach Chapman during the conference and get on the mailing list. It is reported that House. Mi nority Leader Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind.) required restraint by calmer counsel when Eisenhower endorsed Advance. Halleck was angry because the latest issue (March) of Advance contains a free-swinging attack on Halleck and other Congressional Repub lican leaders, notably Senate Mi nority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IU.) and Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) The March issue of Advance was devoted to "the Republicans on Capitol HiU." The magazine described the' House Republican leadership as reluctant, lazy or nostue in matters of responsibil ity to the well-being of the nation and the Republican Party. It at tributed to several of Hallcck's Republican colleagues the state ment that: Halleck hasn't read a serious book in 10 years and is suspicious of those who have. Halleck Lambasted "Republicans of all views," the magazine related, "feel they are being less led (by Halleck) than presided over; that the only at tempt at hammering anything out comes not in policy nut in the strategy of obstruction." The young editors of Advance discovered Goldwater to be a bumbling chairman of the Senate Republican campaign committee. Brace Biossat The Elusive Ladder Rung Some very plausible arguments were run up In 1960 to the effect that being a leading governor in this country was no longer a step on the way to the presidency. But In 1962 the arguments seem less impressive. Two years ago the Democrats found not only their presidential nominees but virtually all his prin cipal rivals In the United States Senate. The Republicans took a vice president who had come from the Senate and elevated him to run for the presidency. In explanation of this phenom enon, political scholars and observ ers said the great shift of empha sis to foreign affairs made such choices inevitable. These men from the Senate were experienced in the big world and national issues of the day and were constantly in the national limelight. By contrast, with the exception of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, whose name already was fa mous for other reasons, the top govornors in the nation seemed bogged down in a tangle of lesser issues. Not only did these lesser mat ters largely bar them from attend ing to the bigger national prob lems, but in many cases they dam aged governors' "linages." State tax and revenue difficulties par ticularly east a dark tone over their efforts. Being governor had begun to look like a thankless task. Today it is hardly proper to say that a top governorship Is once moro a rosy spot. Governors meet ing in their annual conference at Hershcy, Pa., talked steadily of their money troubles, of federal encroachments, of the many mat ters involved in the booming growth that affects so many areas. Yet, despite this continuous fo-1 cus on their perplexities, the sov emors In 1062 appear to be a more cheerful lot. And those who lace the electorate this fall have, in nu merous instances, campaign rivals who evidently look without despair on the prospect of occupying a gov ernor's chair. Moreover, the governorship seems once again a potential step plngstone to the White House. On the Democratic side. President Kennedy of course has the 1964 nomination locked up. But among Republicans, all but one of the ma jor contenders are In the governor ship field. Admittedly, the possible entries are still a little shaky. Only Rock- George Romney in Michigan. Wil liam Scranton in Pennsylvania, Richard M. Nixon In California Perhaps all the 1960 arguments are basicallv valid, and lSttffU it (Diust a temporary exception to a sol id trend. But possibly there is no trend. It may be that the real de terminants are Uie personalities land attribute of the contenders The Props GOP Leaders They called him disqualified for that- chairmanship, adding that "Goldwater's liabilities in his campaign c o m m i t tee position seem to us overwhelming." Dirksen and Halleck are reg ular Republican television spokes men on what has come to be known as "The Ev and Charley Show." Advance rated the show as valued for little more than com ic relief and as evidence of Re publican Intellectual pauperism. A fair question: Did Ike actual ly read the magazine or did he succumb to a snow job by John L. Loeb Jr. of New York, a finan cial backer of Advance? Oregon Tax Commission Reports Gain In Income SALEM (UPI) The Oregon Tax Commission said today it collect ed $112.8 million in the fiscal year which ended June 30, an increase of $6.5 million, or 6.1 per cent, over the previous year. This was less than half of the expected percentage gain given to the 1961 legislature, mat percent age was 13.8 for the first half of the biennium, or first fiscal year. Instead of $112.8 million, first year collections were expected to be about $120 million. Of the eight taxes the commis sion administers, five of them ex ceeded collections last year per sonal income, corporation excise, electric cooperative, private car company, and rural telephone ex change. Receipts from the other three amusement device and forest products. The commission's major source is the personal income tax. Re Editorial RELIC FROM THE PAST Pocittllo Idaho State Journal A weekend meeting of the U.S. Socialist party, in Washington seems today like one of the most futile political exercises imaginable. . There was a time in this century when such leading Socialist voices as Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas were loudly heard.. Today the party's leaders are emphatic unknowns. The Socialists never did cut a heavy figure at the polls. Their high est recorded presidential vote was for Debs in 1920, a tally of 918,000 at a time when the total vote approached 27 million. ; ' In 1932, at the pit of the Great Depression, when drastic measures are believed to have made their strongest appeal to voters, Thomas corraled 885,000 votes for the presidency. Four years later, with Franklin D. Roosevelt riding high, Thomas' vote total plunged to a mere 187,000. In 1962, the party is viewed more as a curiosity than anything else. What does this signify for socialism as a political doctrine? The answer depends in part on one's definition of socialism. The classic definition specifies public ownership nationalization of a country's means of production, There exist varying degrees of this now in Britain, Scandinavia, France, Germany and other West European lands. One also finds con siderable reliance on this system In India and some others among the newer Independents. For many decades, Socialist platforms here and abroad also have called consistently for a wide range of short-run "welfare objectives." European countries long since have adopted many of these. Republicans in the United States often contend that the welfare pro grams of the Democratic New Deal Fair Deal and New Frontier constitute socialism or the road to it. Democrats naturally deny It, but tried and true Socialists themselves have claimed for years that Roosevelt "stole their program." Presumably the debate will rage on, especially in America, over whether socialism is a fitting label exists here and in many other nations. Meantime, perhaps the most interesting development is the fact in Western Europe, scene of long-established welfarism and some nationalization, popular taste for the wane. The socialist parties have stopped talking of new nationalization. Leading observers of Europe call the doctrine largely "irrelevant" in this time of spectacular economic Welfarism still runs strong here and abroad. But the doctrinaire so cialists, even while asserting theft of their short-run plans, always have seen these as just a step along the way. In 19G2 few signs can be found that prospering free people have any wish to take further big strides down that road. COST OF ADVERTISING National Association of Manufacturers Advertising is a frequent whipping-boy of some politicians, who have put some laws on the books restricting its use, and who are always urging more. Part of the argument runs that billions of dollars each year are spent on advertising, that this is waste, and that the poor consumer must pay for it. The advertising media long have contended that, on the contrary, advertising brings prices down by creating a mass market and pub licizing comparative prices. Now we have a report of how the inability of a business to ad vertise actually increases costs. One of the fastest-growing financial businesses Is mutual funds. Small Investors buy shares in these funds, which then buy stocks In a wide selection of companies thus providing professional judgment and at the same time spreading the risk. But the Security and Exchange Commission places strict regula tion on mutual funds advertising. About all they can say in an ad is their names and addresses, and that they have literature available. This harv brings the customers in hoards. So the funds have to hire salesmen to go out and find customers who are anxious to make such investments. If they ttJuld only ad vertise fully, the customers would come to the funds. Sending sales in is expensive, while advertising is cheap. Dudley F. Cates, executive vice president of Waddell ; Reed, a distributor of mutual fund shares, told this story to the Wall Street Club in New York. 'Ojs it occurred to our critics (those who complain of the high service charges) that. , . the one way to bring down Qe cost of distribution and enable us to tell our story to the public is to aftw us to develop prospects through intelligent, Informative advertising?" Mr. fates asked. O The answer is, a! coursiPnot. Advertising makes too good a whipping-boy. O " o V o Mem Analysis: Franco's Nomination Of Successor Significant Move In Spain Politics By PHIL NEWSON UPI Foreign News Analyst Francisco Franco's nomination of his successor and the makeup of the Spanish cabinet have been described as the most significant political move to occur in Spam smce Franco s rise to power nearly 25 years ago. in this case tne extravagant phraseology probably is justified. In one strike Franco eliminated the question "after Franco, ceipts totaled $90.4 million, a pickup of $6 million, or 7.1 per cent, over last year. The breakdown in collections for the 1961-62 fiscal year, compared to the previous year's collections, in parenthesis: Personal income tax $90,474,795 ($84,472,667). Corporation excise $21,284,480 ($20,737,430). Corporation Income $181,441 ($192,853). Amusement device $174,609 ($181,545). Electric cooperatives $147,195 ($139,944). A & B forest lands $485,433 ($484,427). Class C forest lands $15,033 ($35,020). Class D forest lands $7,861 (None). Private car company $19,281 ($19,199). Rural telephone exchange $80,130 ($75,035). Comment distribution and exchange. for the mixed condition which socialist doctrine appears sharply on upsurge. what?" and - at the same time eliminated a potentially danger ous split within his' own govern ment. It was a victory for those "liberals" inside the regime who overcame years of lethargy and complacency to push through Spain's stabilization program in 1959 and who now seek Spain's Association with the European Common Market. The new lineup still further re duces the influences of old -, line Falangists, Spain's only legal party, who feared the changes in evitable through close association with a liberal Europe. Toward Reunion As it has moved cautiously but steadily toward a reunion with the Western family of nations, Spain has become a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. It is not a member of NATO, but, through its agreement with the United States, provides in valuable air and naval bases for Western defense. Mid-1959 found Spain almost at the end of its financial rope. Its "oreign exchange was down to less than $60 million. Then it devalued the peseta, restricted credits, went after a balanced budget and laid on new taxes. The result was a howl of pro test that the engineers of the new economic look had plunged Spain into her most serious economic crisis in 20 years. It split the cabinet. But its advocates held on, and today Spain's reserves total more than $1 billion. Liberal Victory Chief among the opponents were the ministers of labor, in- Reader Opinions Oregon 'Deadeyes' Seek Convention To The Editor: If you'd like to think back for just a second; the 96th Infantry Di vision those temendous "dead eyes" as they were so aptly nick named because of their valiant per formance in the bloody battles of the Philippines and Okinawa will mark its 20th anniversary from the date of activation on August 20th. This mighty division, composed of men from ail over the United States but predominantly the Mid dle West, was activated at Camp Adair, Oregon, and experienced a number of months of intense train ing at the Camp Adair site and ex tensive maneuvers in Central Ore gon. Yes, these twenty years have scooted by and many have forgot ten; however, quite a large num ber of the former members of the 96th Division have joined together and formed a fraternal organiza tion which they call the 96th In fantry Division Association. They have met for the past several years in reunion during the month of July in large midwestern cities. As a former Deadcye and a mem ber of this association, I attended last year's conclave in Detroit, Michigan. Oh! what an exciting ex perience it was to be reunited with buddies I'd not seen through these many years! I had such a good time in Detroit that I'm eagerly ; making preparations to attend this year's convention in Dallas, Tex as. July 26. 27 and 28. I would deem it a privilege to extend an invitation to any for mer Deadeyes who are interested . in being associated with old bud-; dies to join this association, and, if possible, to attend this gala re' union in Texas this month. It should be stated here that there is a vigorous movement afoot to sell Portland, Oregon, as a con vention site for this division reun ion in 1963. I would urge all who are interest ed to contact the Correspondence Secretary, Richard Klassen, Route 5, Kankakee, Illinois. Fellows, the next reunion can be held in Portland. Oregon in 1963. How about helping me put this across? Keith A. Burbidge 248 Draper Drive, NE Salem. Oregon. i SUNDAY SERVICES At Our New Location CORN PR OF NBWTON CREEK RD. & VI N 6 ST.

They departed in the recent shakeup and have been replaced by "Europeans," those who favor increased liberalization of eco nomic policies and entry into the common market. Taking over as Franco's desig nated successor is Gen. Agustin Munoz Grandes, a friend of the United States. As vice premier he is expected to ease the way in negotiations for a renewal of U.S. bases agreements this fall. Free elections is a requirement for entry into the Ei ropean Com mon Market and this could pro vide a bar to Spain. It also could provide a lever for political evolution. Church Of God Camp Draws Roseburg Youth Eleven members of the youth fellowship of the First Church of God in Roseburg will represent the senior high youth group of the church at Camp Whitebranch in the McKenzie River from July 15 to 21. The camp is owned and operated by the Church of God in Oregon and is attended by youth from all parts of the state. On their return from camp, the local participants will share highlights of their ex periences at a youth group camp fire meeting at the church July 22. Theme for the camp session will be "Brighter Horizons Through Christ." A series of conferences and discussions will develop the theme. Camp facilities include lodge-type accommodations, swim ming pool, chapel and dining hall. Tom Smith, student personnel director from Warner Pacific Col lege in Portland will be camp di rector. The Rev. Ray Tuttle of Eu gene will be featured speaker at nightly services. The Rev. Howard Leverett of the Roseburg church will serve as a counselor.
