2 The News-Review, Koseburg, Farm State Thoughts On By BERNARD BRENNER WASHINGTON (UPI) Pressure is building up on the administra tion to ease next year's drop in wheat prices despite President Kennedy's attitude that the farm ers asked for it when they voted down his price support program in a referendum. Among those urging second thoughts are a number of farm slate Democrats, including Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., as sistant Senate majority leader. Humphrey is drafting a new wheat bill and predicted in an interview before leaving for Mos cow to witness signing of the nu clear best ban that "there'll be NASA File Cabinets Hold Proof American Kids Are Imaginative CAPE CANAVERAL' (UPI)-If from the mouths of babes there al ways came words of wisdom, Cape Canaveral would be a land of giant fans, ski-ramp launching pads and ' Saturday-only ' astronauts. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a file cabinet full of proof that the minds of America's children, uncluttered by physical laws and fiscal budgets, display a genius for the imaginative. Youngsters have carried into the space age their penchent for help ing their ciders spend money. Un inhibited by worries about income tax 1040 and the like, they bom barded NASA with scores of letters monthly suggesting ways to im prove and often speed up the use of that $35 million America has committed to conquering the moon. Suggests Ramp Sometimes, the letters arc in the form of helpful suggestions, such Death Of Marilyn Remains An Enigma HOLLYWOOD (UPI) An un wanted child who became one of the world's most wanted women was found dead one year ago in her exclusive Brentwood home. And today the death of Marilyn Monroe remains in enigma. Born out of wedlock, she gained fame and fortune as the sex sym bol of America. But she never found the peace of mind she so avidly sought. And al the age of .mi, America s sex goddess was dead of an overdose of barbitu rates. Her body was found by her psychiatrist who had to smash a window to get into her locked bedroom. He found her nude body sprawled across her bed her hand grasping a telcphone. An empty medicine bottle that had contained as many as 50 Nembutal capsules three days earlier was found on a bedside table. The coroner's report said Miss Monroe had attempted suicide in the past, but had called for help. The report continued: "It is our opinion that the same pattern was repeated except for the rescue." More than 3110 persons lined the walls of the small cemetery the day her body was entombed in a mausoleum. Admirers and other close friends still stop to place flowers on her crypt. And Joe DiMaggio. former New York Yankee slugger who was her husband for nine months in 1934, still has a small spray of roses placed on the crypt three times a week. But cemetery officials said they expected no problems and very few visitors at the tomb today. Church Of God Trio Due At Camp Meet The Bev. Howard Leverett, pas lor, and Lloyd Sconce and Mrs Lavellc Bishop, lay leaders, all of inc Koseburg Church of Goii, will represent the local congregation at the annual camp meeting of the denomination to be held this week in Clackamas. The Naiarcnc camp ground will be used. Major business of the Associa tion of the Churches ol Cod in Oregon will be transacted Tuesday afternoon by pastors and lay dele gates of the 47 churches in the state, according to leverett. The Itev. William P. Eddy of Birming ham, Ala., will speak each evening and on the two Sundays of the meeting. Olhcr camp meeting activities will include daily conferences for ministers, ministers' wives, lay men, youth and a junior camp for children- Educational - Entertaining - Enlightening Bud ADM: AKTi"c AUGUST 1 4-1 8 ROSEBURG Ore. Men., Aug. 5, 1963 Solons Urge Wheat Legislation some rethinking on this question in the administration within a month." A number of legislators of both parties have introduced various bills aimed at softening the price decline despite the expressed be lief of administration farm spokesmen that Congress will not act. Opposed Administration Plan Wheat growers voted May 21 against the administration plan for mandatory production con trols with high price supports for the 1964 crop. This means that, with no new program, wheat price supports will drop from $2 a bushel this year to $1.25 next as the one from Harry B. OF Pres cotl, Ariz. "To help get your missiles off, why don't you build an overgrown ski ramp with a half-mile slant at the right end?" If Harry's suggestion is ignored and U.S. scientists continue to fire rockets in the old - fashioned straight-up manner, some atten tion might be given to the matter of all that black smoke that cov ers the pad at blast-off, says Lu ther W. of Charleston, S.C.: "Why don't you put giant fans to one side of the launching pad? Then when you shoot your mis siles off, the smoke would be blown away so you could sec what is going on." There is a suspicion, Luther, that sometimes they would just as soon not sec what is going on. Cape Canaveral has its bad days. Navy Studied Pigeons Grownups might be inclined to snicker at these youthful ideas. But the U.S. Navy once spent three years trying to figure out how to use corn-eating pigeons to steer guided missiles. The Navy learned a lot about pigeons, includ ing their inability to guide rockets. A fair numher of NASA's youth ful fans volunteer not only ideas but themselves for flights into space although, occasionally, there is a catch, as in the case of Tommy W. it Chicago: "I am interested in space and would like to become an astro naut, but it will have to bo on a Saturday, as I have to go to school during the week." Two-Car Crash Reported Sunday Hoscbiirg city police Sunday in vestigated a two - car accident which occurred at the intersection of SE Sykcs Ave. and SE Pine st. City police said the accident oc curred about 5:45 p.m. when a car driven by Norman Lee Parr, Suth crlin, failed to stop at a stop sign and was struck in the side by a vehicle driven by Terry John Reed, of Winston. There were no injuries. Vandals Active In Sutherlin A recent rash of window break age at the high school shop build ing and other buildings in Sutherlin School District is proving to be costly to tax payers. Over 50 win dows have been broken during the past three weeks, Supt. Bay Mul len reports. Bock throwing vandals have been responsible for most of the breakage. Sharpshooters with a BB gun have also been active. Maintenance personnel have been busy replacing broken window panes one day, only to have them broken out again. Police have ques tioned several youngsters in the area. If responsibility can be es tablished, some family could have a sizable window bill to pay, Mul len said. Anyone who has information that might assist in stopping the van dalism should call the Sutherlin police or the district school office. Damages to dale have been esti mated at over $200. Cow Creek Developers Set Meeting Tuesday The Cow Creek Valley Develop ment Association will meet Tues day evening, Aug. li, at 8 p.m. in the Cilendale City Hall.

DEMONSTRATIONS CERAMICS by Wilrru Wystt of Joz Ceramics CAKE DECORATING by and Norman Wil-hem of Weber's Bakery DOUGLAS Second year. Even the reduced support price will be available only to growers who- voluntarily comply with planting restrictions. A number of Republicans, head ed by ' Beps. Albert H. Quie, Minn., Robert Dole, Kan. and Don L. Short, N.D., have pro posed a program modeled on the existing plan which offers acreage-diversion payments and price supports to farmers who cut feed grain plantings. Sens. Spessard L. Holland, D Fla.; George D. Aiken, R-Vt., and others have sponsored the Amer ican Farm Bureau Federation's plan to abolish all wheat-feed grain controls, set supports at comparatively low levels and set up a voluntary program' of pay ments for non-use of acreage. Proposes Voluntary Program Sen. George D. McGovern, D S.D., recently proposed convert ing the acreage-limitation plan rejected last May 21 to a volun tary program with no cash mar keting penalties for farmers who choose to ignore it. .Humphrey's bill would be based in general on the existing program and would offer price supports above the currently scheduled 1964 level to farmers who voluntarily convert wheat acreage to other uses. The Minnesota Democrat be lieves legislation to head off the drop in prices is urgently needed before the 1964 crop of winter wheat is planted this fall. He said a sharp drop in wheat income could damage the farm credit structure and Democratic elec tion prospects in farm states. "We cannot content ourselves with doing nothing," he said. "The government has a responsi bility because the prices of farm products are directly related to the general prosperity of the na tion." Air Defense Unit Resumes Training CAMP RILEA, Ore. (UPI) - Troops of the 249th Air Defense Artillery headquartered in Port land, resumed training today fol lowing weekend passes which be gan after the annual Governor's Day Review Saturday.

Petition Form Set For Tax Referral SALEM (UPI) Form of the petitions which will be circulated to seek a vote on the tax bill passed by the recent legislature was approved by the secretary of state's office today. The action clears the way (or the printing of the petitions which Albany publisher Francyl Howard plans to have in circulation this week. Howard will have to get 23,185 valid signatures on Ihe petitions by Sept. 1. If the measure de signed to raise an additional $60 million in state revenue is to be referred to the voters for ap proval. If he gels the needed signatures, vote on the tax program would he held at a special election Oct. 15. The legislature appropriated $300,000 lo finance the special election if one is needed. To get the measure on the bal lot the needed signatures must be certified by county clerks as ac tual voters by the Sept. 1 dead line. Accident Commission Claims Hit Two Million SALEM (UPI) Oregon's Indus trial Accident Commission has paid its two millionth claim. The state's workmen's compen sation law was passed 50 years ago .Inly 1 and became effective a year later. It took 32 years for the first million claims to be paid but the increase in the state's business and industrial growth cut t h e time of the second million to 17 years. The first claim was filed in July. 131-1. just 24 hours after the law became effective. Only a lew hazardous industries were covered by the law at its outset. In July of 1922, 10.182 firms were insured and Ihe average wage per day as $1.50. There are now 39.810 firms cov ered and the average wage scale is $24 a day. Edward H.

W15 three si!t Income Figures Don't Justify Mass Poverty Has Vanished EDITOR'S NOTE: The Labor Department announced last week that U.S. employment rose in July to a record total of nearly 71 million jobs. But it out of every 1,000 persons who need jobs don't have them. And many who do have jobs barely earn enough to keep them alive. This is a report on the other side of the tracks on poverty. Poverty First of Two Dispatches By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)-The av erage American family had an income of $7,140 last year. One family out of five had an income larger than $10,000. These are spectacular figures. They thoroughly justify the cliche that Americans are living in an "affluent society," enjoying the highest living standards the world has ever known. But they do not justify the as sumptionwidely held today even among well-read people that mass poverty has virtually disap peared from this country. In the midst of olentv. millions 1 of Americans remain desperately poor, they may not ue as close to actual starvation as some of the people who live in under developed countries. But their poverty is real and grinding, and all the harder to accept because it contrasts so painfully with the prosperity that surrounds them. How many poor people are there in America? The answer depends on what income level you choose as a dividing line be tween mere deprivation and ac tual poverty. Dr. Robert J. Lampham, a Uni versity of Wisconsin economist now on the staff of President Kennedy's Comic:1, of Economic Advisers, believes It is conserva- Rail Industry Renews Attempt To End Dispute WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rail road industry representatives met with Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz today in a renewed attempt lo settle the work rules dispute through collective bargaining. Wirtz called the meeting to dis cuss his "suggestions" for a set tlement which would head off a nationwide strike now threatened for Aug. 29. Union representa tives stood by to meet with Wirt, as soon as he completed hit; talk with the Industry representatives. Intermittent meetings on the is sue were held at the Labor De partment Saturday and Sunday. A union spokesman said the ses sions were designed to "clarify" the suggestion?, advanced by Wirtz last Friday. The spokesman said the sug gestions contained the labor sec retary's ideas on the two main is sues in the dispute the necessity of a fireman aboard dicscl loco motives and the composition of the crew on switching and yard trains. The spokesman said Wirtz sug gested areas which might be the basis for renewed attempts to negotiate a settlement of these issues. Other sources cautioned. however, against hope for a quick settlement of the dispute. An industry spokesman agreed with this appraisal. The railroads have taken the position that only legislation can solve the dispute. President Ken nedy has proposed to Congress that the Interstate Commerce Commission be made the arbiter but in testimony before the Sen ate Commerce Committee, which concluded hearings last week, la bor witnesses belabored the pro posal as compulsory arbitration and argued that collective bargain ing still could save the day.

In a study published earlier this year, en titled "The Other America" (MacMillan), Michael Harrington estimates that from 4 million to 50 million Americans are "exist ing at levels beneath those neces sary for human decency." The conterence on economic progress asserts that at least 38 million persons fall into the "really poor" category. The AFL-CIO puts the figure at upwards of 42 million. Little Things Mean Lots Of Dollars For Industry WOMAN'S VIEW By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI) Little things mean a lot of dollars for the notions industry. The president of the National Notion Association predicted in February, at the industry's semi annual trade show, that the retail volume for "little things no one can do without" would reach a record $1.25 billion in 1963. Now, said Harold Rattner, the president, at the rate sales have gone so far, he may have to re vise that estimate upward. Ratt ner spoke at the opening of the association's August trade show in New York today. Sunglasses, for instance, sold at a clip 50 per cent ahead of 1962 in the first six months of 1963, he said. Sales on these dark specs alone may reach $150 million this year, he said. Buttons Booming "Button sales are at an all time high," Rattner continued, pushed upward in part by ready-to-wear's accent on double-breasted coat and suits, (more buttons on them than on sigle-breasted) and long-sleeved blouses with but toned cuffs. Closet accessories, spurred by the new see-through hanging shelf and garment bags, will exceed the 1962 volume, he said. Sale of hair ornaments is 50 per cent over last year, with headbands selling at a booming rate. Rattner said the notions boom apparently is part of a general retail sales increase. He cited a study by the national retail mer chants association showing that retailers expect the second half or 1963 to run five per cent ahead of the same period last year. Notion sales of everything from zippers to rain hats to curlers to sun specs to can openers have been climbing for the last 15 years, said Rattner. Fashion is one reason for the climb, because of the home sewing market. New home construction is an other and this affects the demand for closet accessories, storage de vices and other household no tions," he said. "Travel, (more) leisure and out door living" also have boosted sales. Notions For Everything "There are notions made for automobiles, boats, patios, ter races, for all members of the family, all parts of the house . . .," he said. What's new in notions? Well, there's a "quickie" pattern, with a minimum of pieces to make the popular shift dress. There are the nylon zipper, which takes dye with Ihe fabric; a new metal frame for a hand- Elsie Floy Kelly Elsie Floy Kelly, 62. of Rt. 4, Box 378, Roseburg, died at a local hospital Saturday morning. A resident of this community since 1921, the deceased was born Oct. 9, 1900, in Gillam County, Ore. She came here from Marion County where in 1920 she was mar ried to Dee Kelly. He preceded her in death in September of 1961. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Merle (Mona) McGinnis and Mrs. Tom (Leona) Rooke, both of Roseburg; one sister, Mrs. C. J. Butcher of Lodi.

Who are the American poor? Why are they missing the gravy train? Before joining the White House staff, Dr. Lampham conducted a lengthy study of these questions for the Joint Congressional Eco nomic Committee. He found that about one-fourth of the very poor some 8.5 mil lion persons by his present cal culationsare over 65 years of age. They are living on inade quate retirement pensions, on the charity of relatives, or on "old age assistance" checks from public welfare agencies, which during 1962 averaged just a little over $75 a month. bag so that the home seamstress can create purses to match gar ments through a hidden, curtain rod device which holds the frame to the fabric, and iron-on replace ment pockets for men s and boy s trousers.

Ford, Wife End Long Marriage DETROIT (UPI) Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford II, the first family of the auto industry and leaders of the Detroit social whirl, have separated after 23 years of marriage. Ford, 46, and his wife, the for mer Anne McDonnell, 44, of a prominent New York family, an nounced their separation Saturday through a local lawyer. There was no mention of di vorce or any financial settlement. Both Ford and Mrs. Ford are Roman Catholics. The auto mag nate, raised a Methodist, was converted by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, who also officiated at the wedding. Ford is the grandson of Henry Ford, who founded the vast auto motive empire 60 years ago. Mrs. Ford, one of 14 children, inherited a fortune from her grandfather, Thomas E. Murray, a New York utilities executive and inventor. They were married in a lavhh wedding July 13, 1940, at Mrs. Ford's family home in Southa ni ton, Long Island, N.Y. The guest list of 500 persons included some of the top names of U.S. industry and the wedding presents totaled nearly $1 million in value. The break-up had been rumored for months but Ford steadfastly refused to discuss his personal affairs. Robert H. Cox Robert H. Cox, 58, Roseburg. died Sunday at a local hospital following a prolonged illness. Cox was born Dec. 4. 1904. in Tacoma, Wash. He had lived in the Roseburg area for the past two years, moving here from Eugene to work as a construction engineer for U.S. Plywood. He was mar ried to Maude Gano in Seattle in 1932. Cox was a member of the Elks Lodge of Hoquiam, Wash. Surviving is his wife, one son, William Cox, Vancouver, Wash.; two sisters, Mrs. Howard Hodg son. Bay Bridge Island, Wash., and Mrs. Charles Wenham. Ho quiam; and two grandchildren. The body will lie in state at Wilson's Chapel of the Roses un til 9 p.m. today, then will be taken to the Coleman Mortuary, Ho quiam, for funeral services and cremation. The family has requested that those who wish make donations to the cancer fund in lieu of flowers. Donations may be left at Wilson's Chapel of the Roses. ACROSS THE STREET ...

Fieri el Belief In U.S. Another major segment of the world of poverty is populated by Negroes. Because they often are under-educated, or because they lack the skills demanded by an increasingly technological society, or simply because they happen to have dark skins, Negroes are the "last to be hired and the first to be fired" in the North as well as the South. Seven Million Negroes Dr. Lampham found about 7 million Negroes among his 34 million impoverished Americans. That's twice as many as would be expected on a purely statisti cal basis, since Negroes consti tute only 10 per cent of the U.S. population. Thus the circum stance of being born non-white doubles a person's chances of be ing poor. Aside from old age and race, the factors which loom largest in determining which families are poor arc the sex and education level of the breadwinner. Only one American family out of 10 is headed by a woman. But whether made so By deatn, di vorce or desertion constitute 24 per cent of the families living on incomes of less than $2,000 a year. A woman who is trying to sup port young children without a " husband or other male relative to earn a living is usually entitled to public welfare under the ever controversial "aid to dependent children" (ADC) program. Some ,i,L.,ki, niinn ihst famllin. Americans have lormeo an un- on ADr have it pretty soft. This may be: But the figures show that the average ADC payment currently is about $128 per month for a family of four. This comes to about $1,500 a year and is way under Lampham s "conservative cut off line for real poverty. Most Poorly Educated Any American youngster who is thinking of dropping out of school or who is merely wondering why he should work so hard to get an education should ponder another of Dr. Lampham's find ings. About two-thirds of the very poor families in the nation are headed by breadwinners who have no education beyond gram mar school. (This figure includes persons of both races and both sexes, and thus overlaps with some of the previous categories.) It is obvious, of course, that none of the factors cited by Dr. Lampham age, sex, race or ed ucational level directly cause poverty. What they do is to make it hard to get and keep a good job. he immediate cause ot pov erty in nearly every instance is the unemployment or undor-cm-ployment of the family breadwin ner. Even in a "full employment" economy, there would be some people who could not earn a de cent living. The farther a nation slips from full employment or, lo put it differently, the higher its rate of chronic unemployment the bigger become its "pockets" of poverty. That's why Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz calls unemploy ment "our No. 1 domestic prob lem." It is a problem that has been growing steadily worse In recent years. lis ramifications will be explored in another dis patch. Adventure Trip Set By T On Wednesday The last of a series of three ; "Adventure Trips" will be held by the YMCA Wednesday for youth of the area. 1 According to Wavne Schulz.
