It says that personal income of tne nation's citizens in June rose to a "seasonally adjusted" annual rate $440.4 billion which means that if Americans go on earning all through the current year at the rate they earned in June uie total income of the whole 180-odd millions of us will total up to nearly half a trillion dollars. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? But wait a minute. ' That's what we'll all earn in 1962 if we go on earning throughout the year at the rate we earned in June, it nas nothing to oo wun what we OWE. And Our old Uncle, who runs our busi ness for us, owes a total of 300 billion dollars. That's another way of saying that if our national debt was paid off at one time it would take a little better than two -. thirds of EVERYBODY'S Income for 1962 to pay the bill. , It's still another way' of saying that if you were as deeply in debt as is your old Uncle, your IOU's would equal about two-thirds of your annual income. Which is another way of saying that if your outstanding IOU's equalled two-thirds of your total In come, you'd be in a bad way. Uncle, of course, Is better ' off than you would be. He can reach into your pocket and everybody else's pocket and take what he needs to pay off his IOU's. And Besldes If worse comes to worst, Uncle can start the printing presses and print whatever amount of money he needs to pay his debt. If you and I tried that, we'd wind up in Aicalrai or some otn- er equally unpleasant place of resi dence. Uncle has a lot of worries, He owes a lot of short term notes. He can't pay them off In cash because in only six of tne past a years has the old spendthrift tak en in more cash than he has spent. That moans that every year he has to go around to his creditors swapping new notes for his old ones. On lop of that, Uncle now has to pungle up about NINE AND A HALF BILLION DOLLARS IN IN TEREST on his debt. In 1940, it cost the old gentle man only $9,063,032,204 to run his whole shebang (meaning the gov ernment of the United States of America.) Now It costs him more for INTEREST ALONE than his whole operating expense amount ed to only 22 years ago. If our old Uncle were a private citizen, it isn't improbable that some of his nieces and nephews would be asking that he bo de clared incompetent and a guardian appointed, The Almanac By United Press International Today is Friday, Aug. 3, the 215th day of 1962 with 150 to fol low.

Tne report, However, requires a great (leal of detailed preparation.

The population of the 11 western states is exnected to from 27 to 40 million in another 20 years, the report says. Most of the population will be concentrated in urban cen ters. That will cause a steadily increasing demand for outdoor recreation facilities. The 40-mi e stretch of coast Bay, proposed for a national ed for recreation, it is stated, but the area also has con siderable industrial and business opportunities.

It was my conjecture that they play a game called "Detroit Chess," the object of which is to see how many cars each truck can "capture" on a long hill or curve. Since then, I have received a steady stream of complimentary letters from truck drivers, the wives of truck drivers, the em ployers of truck drivers, and other interested parties. Modesty forbids extensive quo tation but a typical salutation was one that read "you are a sick man and to me you really stink." Received Comments . What I regard as the most thought-provoking comment came from a California truck driver, apparently a veteran of freeway traffic. (A veteran of freeway traffic is anyone who is still alive after the first mile.) Now that we know what games the truck drivers play," he wrote, "please inform us as to 'the type and name of the game that the tourists and other absent-minded automobile drivers play; such as yourself on cross-country trips." He went on to suggest 'hat if I didn't have a better title in mind, the game could possibly be called "Freeway Roulette." To begin with, he continued, the tourist or commuter receives a certain number of points "for pulling out on a high speed free way in front of a truck." Then, he said, the points in crease In accordance "with his ability to maintain a below nor mal speed for the next live miles." Can Double Tally Making a sudden turn in front of a truck without giving a sig nal adds still more points to the score. Or the tourist can double his tally by stopping "dead still in front of a truck moving at 60 miles per hour." Fma lv. bonus points are given for driving along behind a truck at night with your bright head lights on. At the end of the day, the tour ists get together at a motel and add up their points, tne winner being awarded a copy of "Fun on the Highway," autographed by Duncan Hines. It seems to me that mv cor respondent has done a splendid job of defining the rules for Peter Edson Pupils In Demo School Give Profs A Hard Time WASHINGTON - (NEA)-Fifty new Democratic congressional can didates from 20 states who came to Washington for a three-day school on campaign issues shot some barbed questions at Kennedy administration officials assigned to lecture them on what the political score is. They were questions which the candidates themselves arc being asked by voters in their home states and districts, based on charged made by their GOP opponents. The Republicans had one of these campaign schools in Washington a few weeks ago. but it was a secret session. Reporters were admitted to the Democratic classes, except for the workshop sessions, so a lit tle light can be shed on them. Sharpest questions on tax cut pos sibilities, government spending and the national debt increase were put to Dr. Walter W. Heller, chair man of the President's Council of Economic advisers, and his theor ies were smoked out. ' Heller came prepared with a nine-page statement of economic in dicators to show that things aren't as bad as some people are saying. On the other hand, he admitted that retail sales have declined, inventory accumulations are off, personal income advanced only a third as much in May June as in March April ami that unemploy ment had leveled off at 5.3 per cent instead of dropping "It is not clear yet." said Heller, "" "v"' ,,' , H'M-ill uui, n 1IM.-.9IIIK "" . v j economic advance or wlielher mey slRllal furtlwl" slowdown. lhrn came wllal lic"0T callen " : n-n -l,nl nil, , tllnne An Villi haVO? ."" nciier answered uiui wcy 1 nnl u,t '"f'''on Ihoy would not i let prices move up as some peopc were advocating.

Baker Project Oregon Victory, Solon Believes WASHINGTON - (UPlj-Rep. ' Al Ullman, D-Ore., said Thursday he was gratified by House approval of the upper division of the Baker reclamation project but expressed regret that some western Repub licans did , not support the meas ure. The house voted 200: to 182 for a bill introduced by -. Ullman to authorize the $6 - million project on the Powder River near Baker, Ore. 'This, is a great victory for Ore gon's future growth and develop ment," Ullman said.. But he added that it was a "tragic commentary" that, the narrow margin of victory came "on a straight party vote against a virtually solid bloc of Republi can opposition." "How can we in the Pacific Northwest afford such narrow political maneuvering when our very future is at stake in this fundamental issue of water devel opment?" he asked. A breakdown , of the voting showed that 184 Democrats were joined by 16 Republicans in sup porting the project. The opposition found 41 Democrats joining 141 Republicans. ' However. Ullman's comments were directed chiefly at a split among Oregon and Washington state Republicans. Rep. Edwin R. Durno opposed the project while his Oregon Re publican colleague, Rep. Walter Norblad, voted for it. Washington Republicans split with Reps. Jack Westland and Thomas M. Pclly opposed and Reps. Walt Horan, Catherine May and Thor Tollcfson supporting the Baker project. Two California Republicans, Reps. John Baldwin and Charles S. Gubser, also voted for the proj ect. Western Democrats voted for the project. Beyond that, he wouldn't go fur ther than his boss, President Ken nedy, who had a tax reform pro gram before Congress and was con sidering a tax cut effective next Jan. 1. Heller did throw a little more light on his own theories about taxes, however. "There is an in creasing conviction that the pres ent burden of taxes is a drain on the economy," he declared. "We have a tax system now that would produce an S8-billion surplus if we had full employment. This is too high," he said. Later Heller was asked. "What factors not now present would war rant a tax cut sooner than Jan. 1?" Again he refused to put his boss out on the end of a limb, saying only that "If the President moves in the direction of immediacy of need, he will make the announce mcnt himself."

" News Analysis: Many Stumbling Blocks In Path Of Britian's Entry Into ECM By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Nowi Analyst BRUSSELS Here in - Belgi um's ancient capital, a handful of men are engaged in negotiations fateful to the entire western world and with a heavy penalty the price of failure. The negotiations concern Bri tain's entry into the six nation European Common Market. If these negotiations succeed, then the common market, now an economic community of '170 mil lion people, may swell to 300 mil lion and become' an economic bloc more powerful than any now in the world. . Failure could mean the fall of Prime Minister Harold Macmil laji's - government in Britain . and severely shake the. hard-won uni tynow existing within the Six France, West .'Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. ' Throat of Failure' . Time -is running out and in the way are many stumbling blocks. The greatest chance for suc cess lies in the knowledge of the consequences of failure. At odds are Britain's determin ation to protect the members of the British commonwealth, and the Six's equal determination that Former Roseburg Resident Due Honors At Capital Wildlife Meet By CHARLES V. STANTON Carl D. Shoemaker, former resident of Roseburg, is to receive national honors at a dinner and reception in Wash ington, D.C., Aug. 7. The program will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the launching of the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration project. Shoemaker was one of the originators of this project and, as executive secretary of the National Wildlife Association, was one of the conserva tion leaders who helped direct the required legislation through Congress. Specially inscribed scrolls are to be awarded Sen. A. Willis Robert son of Virginia, Dr. Ira N. Gab rielson, noted conservationist and president of the Wildlife Manage ment Institute, and Shoemaker. Wildlife Research They are three of the principal living originators of the Pittman Robertson legislation. The- meas ure directs that receipts1 from an 11 per cent federal excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition be apportioned to the states for wild life research, game restoration, land acquisition, and habitat de velopment. Since the program started July 1, 1938, a total of $220, 000,000 has been apportioned to the stales and territories, making pos sible the purchase and develop ment of 2,373,754 acres of land and research resulting in 4,750 scienti fic publications on wildlife. Success of the Pittman-Robertson legislation, imposing an excise tax on firearms, led to adoption of a companion act, the DingeTt Johnson measure which places a tax on angling equipment. When Congress considered a few years ago a measure to repeal these two taxes, sports groups objected so vigorously that both acts were left in operation. Shoemaker, who helped in the origination and passage of these measures, is a brother of Dr. B. R. Shoemaker of Roseburg. He came to the area from Ohio, where he had previously prac ticed law.

VJ if Britain joins the Common Market she must do so with full acceptance of all the political and economic conditions to which the Six already are bound. Agriculture is the stumbling block at the moment, but others equally difficult lie ahead. Pressing the British is the knowledge that in September they must make a progress report to the prime ministers of the com monwealth. Effect On Macmillan Should they be unable to report agreement on protection of com monwealth goods, then opinion throughout the commonwealth and at home as well, easily could crystalize ' into hard opposition that could result in failure and the fall of the Macmillan govern ment, either now or in elections next year.

DON OAKLEY Sunrise In Puerto Rico Hearty congratulations are coins out to the people of Puerto Rico on the 10th anniversary of the is land's association with the United States as a commonwealth. Puerto Rico s democratically chosen status is not that of an in dependent nation, not yet a state but something unique. It has been, both economically and politically, uigmy successuu experiment. Twenty years ago, the island was an American scandal. That is, it would have been had more people been aware of conditions there. At the lime, it seemed to be drifting aimlessly in the hack- , waters of administrative neglect. After World War II. thousands of Puerto Ricans streamed to America, particularly New York, in search of a better life. Puerto Ricans are American citizens and subject to military service, but do not pay federal taxes and cannot vole for president unless they move to the mainland. Today, people the world over' know the story of the common wealth's rapid rise in living stand- " ards from an average $121 per canita a year in 1942 to $622 in 1962. . '.' Much of the credit goes to Gov. Luis Munoz Marin, who has held office as governor continuously since 1948. He has spurred the new housing, schools, industries and improved sanitation that are remaking the island. The job is far from over, of course, and many still emigrate tn the mainland, for $622 a year still classifies the land as underdevel oped in American terms. But Puerto Rico has already become a bigger market for American goods than Argentina and Brizil combined. . More important, it has become an impressive example to the mil lions of Latin Americans still ; struggling under the- twin burdens of poverty and tyranny. In fact, Puerto Rico has sent "foreign aid" in the form of eco nomic experts to the Dominican Republic to assist in the strength ening of the tender young demo cracy there. Governor Munoz. with the agree ment of President Kennedy, has indicated he would like to hold a plebiscite soon to fix Puerto Rico's status permanently. "Enemies and misguided friends of the United States and Puerto Rico," said the governor, "have' charged that the commonwealth was not the free choice of the people of Puerto Rioo acting in their soverign capacity, but was merely a different kind of colonial arrangement to which they con sented." The outcome of a plebiscite would be overwhelmingly for con tinuance of the commonwealth and would effectively kill such charges. In Puerto Rico, the term "com-; monwealth" is rendered as "esta do libre asociado" free associ ated state. It is a fitting title. D THE BIBLE Q Q SPEAKS TO YOU Station Sundoys KYES 9:45 950 K.C. A.
