A New Town Piaffed
Out in the now-lonely and isolated sagebrush lands
of northern Lake county a new Oregon town has been
flatted.
! It is to bear the name Buick, and it is being founded
by old-time residents of Silver Lake and now of Klamath
Falls, Mr. and Mrs. K. O. Buick. The townsite stakes
are at the branching of the roads to a town of other
years, Lake, and the Table Mountain area.
It takes vision to found a town in a region of van
ished towns. Old timers will recall them : Fremont, where
a cheese factory flourished some 45 years ago; Wastina,
snith of Fort Rock, and, among others, Sink and Cliff.
! And, not forgotten by the earlier residents of the
drea are Fleetwood, marked by a direction sign until
Only a few years ago, and that "town" of euphemistic
name, Loma Vista.
! Arrow was another of the Lake county communities
of early days, when there was a surge of homesteaders
into the basins where two score of cabins could be seen
from a single vantage point.
In the shadow of old hills not far from Fort Rock
was the post office of Connley. Far to the northeast was
the community of Rolyat the name Taylor spelled
backwards.
Certainly not all of these were bustling towns in
(heir day, but they were community centers, most of
them post offices. Their names appear on old maps.
' Of all the towns of the homesteading era, Fort Rock
remains. First of all towns in northern Lake county was
Silver Lake, and in 1955 it is still the busy town of the
basin.
New town platting activity is due to plans for the
reclamation of the northern Lake county valleys through
water pumped with REA power from LaPine.
'. There may be some question as to the need of a third
town in the area that will soon have power and light
find water. Southern Jefferson county found its estab
lished towns, Madras, Culver and Metolius, sufficient to
pare for the needs of a 50,000-acr segregation.
: Furthermore, distances are not what they wore in
the homesteading era, when teams plodded slowly be
tween ranch homes and post offices. Buick at the eastern
apex of a 35-mile triangle, may find itself too close to
its neighbors, in this age of automobiles.

Faure May Take
Confidence Vole
PARIS (UP) Premier Edgar
Faure may stake the life of his
young government for the first
time on a vote of confidence tonight
or Wednesday on his economic pol
icies, informed sources said today.
His government was threatened
not only by France's curcially
tangled financial and economic
problems but also by a new flare-
up of the Saar dispute with Ger
many that could yet wreck French
ratification of the Paris arms
pacts.
The assembly today resumed its
debate on wage ruises for the po
litically powerful civil servants.
Faure discussed this issue with his
cabinet Monday night and may test
the government strength on It.
Faure got his first setback last
Friday when the Finance Commit
tee rejected his proposed raise on
grounds it was not enough. Faure
has not indicated whether he be
lieves calling a confidence vote on
the matter would put the measure
through.
Informed sources said he would
rather not use the confidence vote
which would put continuation of
his government at stake. A vole
of confidence on economic policies
toppled Faure in 19T2.
But most French politicians pre
dicted that the next two weeks will
determine whether the Faure coali
tion lives on or comes apart at the
seams under the impact of press
ing foreign and domestic issues.

Price-Fixing in Gas
Congress is studying legislation designed to put the
natural gas industry in the samo position as its compe
tition. The Supreme Court, by a 5-8 decision some time
ago, held that natural gas delivered to an interstate pipe
line company is in interstate commerce before it enters
the pipelines and therefore is subject to rate regulation
iby the Federal Power Commission.
! There are various ramifications of this one, but one
Ithing seems clear.
If, just because gas is finally distributed to the con
sumer under monopoly conditions, gas is to bo regulated
at the field, then coal should be regulated at the mine.
.For a great deal of the coal removed from the ground
lin this country goes into the steam generation of electric
Ipower. This would seem to make the position of the two
'fuels analagous.

WASHINGTON INKA) It was a
dramatic session of the House of
Representatives when President
Eisenhower sent up his special
Dear Joe" letter to Republican
leader Martin of Massachusetts,
appealing for passage of the ad
ministration's foreign trade pro
gram. Representative Martin
spoke on it. and Speaker Sam Ray
burn of Texas whipped his Demo
crat inlo line to obtain passage.
But just after the Presidents
letter had been read, Rep. Cleve
land M. Bailey (D., V. Va.) ob
tained the floor.
"It was nice to listen to the very
excellent reading by the minority
leader of the letter from our Presi
dent," commented Bailey. "B u t
he cannot be too much concerned
about this matter because the
news ticker just now carried the
information that he had gone out
to the Burning Tree Club to play
golf. While my Democratic friends
are pleading and bleeding for
him, he is playing golf."
'.Those Stubborn Gooney Birds
l Those famous gooney birds of Midway Island are
apparently not as looney as they have been portrayed, a
-pair of Fish and Wildlife Service biologists have diseov-
cred.
The gooneys may be stubborn, and hard to change
lin their ways, but they're not so dumb, the biologists say
I The experts made a study of the gooneys (black-
footed and Laysan albatrosses) at the request of the Mil
itary Air Transport Service. Seems some of the pilots
-who stop at Midway had been worrying.
- They thought the birds perched on plane wings mid
"even rode the wings while the planes were in flight. Some
I of the boys thought the birds would crash through I lie
"windshields of airborne planes.
I The biologists snitl these things aren't true.
- The birds will, however, "set" on light bulbs instead
-of eggs.
" Trying to scare the gooneys away from the landing
and takeoff patterns of planes was a difficult job. the
Z scientists said. (There have been cases where the birds
I have flown into planes and ruined propellers, flaps or
-wing segments so it's easy to see why the flyers would
like to have them scared away.)
- To their bafflement, the gooneys paid little ntton-
- tion to such distractions as flares, smoke from a burning
' tire, noise caused by the firing of bazookas, mortars,
'. rifle, or the racket of plane operations. They .staved
right on their nests.

defense secrets were actually in

When the investigation of the
Spanish Air Bases came be
fore the committee, the two secre
taries demanded closed hearings.
Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D., La.l
chairman of the investigating sub
committee wanted to know why.
They said their statements con
tained classified material. Repre
sentative Hebert asked them to
show him what in their statements
was secret. Secretary Talbott's
testimony was found to contain
nothing secret. Secretary Thomas
took three sentences out of a 16
page statement. Then the hearing
was opened up to press and public.
Subsequently, the Hebert sub
committee passed a rule that
its hearings would be open unless
witnesses showed 2-I hours in ad
vance, that they nan national de
fense material to present, or that
unwarranted injury would be

Present indications are that the
new Republican public works pro

talked about in his economic re
port as a cushion against unem

direct U.S. government appropria

Instead, indirect methods of fi

now planned for the highway pro

construction.
