WAose shot?' v,rs,is;,'.v?s.5-. c --mm:' t Wallace L. Lee, a Portlander who is generally reputed to be the top man in the John Birch Society In Oregon, made a speech in Bend Monday. He appeared before the Bend Kiwanis club in support of the program of the Volunteers for Con stitutional Government, of which he is state chairman. At least some of those who heard him were mightily moved by his message. Lee's siren song, at the present, Is the Liberty Amendment. By over Simplifying his issue, by leaving out gome integral facts and by shifting emphasis, he makes a great case for his proposed amendment to the V.S. Constitution. (As an example, Kfc takes two different authorized methods of amending the Constitu tion, puts them together, and comes up wVU a third, completely unauth orized and unworkable, according IS reports from his listeners. : The so-called Liberty Amend ment is a simple thing, or at least It looks simple on its surface. That's the beauty of the pitch. Here's what It says: ..... ... "Section 1. The Government of the United States shall not engage in any business, professional, commercial, fi ' nancial or Industrial enterprise except .... as specified in the Constitution. J "Sec. 2. Tho constitution or laws of any State, or the laws of tho United ,1 States shall not be subject to Uie terms of any foreign or domestic agreement . which would abrogate this amend- ment. "Sec. 3. The activities of tho United States Government which vio late the intent and purposes of this , amendment shall, within a period of three years from tho date of ratifies . tion of this amendment, be liquidated 1 and the properties and facilities nf ''. fected shall be sold. "Sec. 4. Three years after the rat ification of this amendment the six teenth article of amendments to tho Constitution of the United States shall A pair of phenomena of recent years the mobility of Americans and the growing percentage of those who own their homes has caused a boom in the business of handling sales of real estate. There are more real estate brokers and their salesmen than ever before, gross ing more money than ever before. But like any growth, the growth of the real estate business has not been without its problems. A recent speaker before a meet ing of the Central Oregon Board of Realtors touched upon some of the problems. He had prepared by ask ing a dozen or so persons to give him some of their impressions of persons and firms in the real estate business. Generally speaking, the results were not too favorable to the realtors. Too many of the per sons queried had a poor impression. ; The reasons, generally, were twofold. One came from the exten sive sales of worthless land in the West, at ridiculously high prices. Deschutes, Crook, Harney and Lake counties account for more than their share of land sales which bor der on outright fraud. Most of the abuses come as the result of activi ties of fast-moving promoters who liave moved into the area. But the distrust has rubbed off on everyone who has attempted to sell unde veloped real estate in the area. The second cause is compound ed of normal human greed plus the nature of the real estate business. ') Way .ee's sVe7 song sounds greaf until you begin to examine the facts Growth creates problems, too stand repealed and thereafter Congress shall not levy taxes on personal in comes, estates, andor gifts." Boy, this sounds great! We get the government out of business. This appeals to the man who is in busi ness and would just as soon limit competition, no matter what the source. And we eliminate the income tax. This appeals to everyone. Space does not allow a full and complete discussion of all the impli cations of the amendment. Suffice it to say, so far aa income tax is concerned, that the money will have to come from somewhere. An income tax, as a part of a comprehensive tax program, is an eminently fair way of raising a portion of the gov ernment's financial needs. Elimi nating this source of revenue will put the burden elsewhere, and eventually right back on the people who are now paying income taxes. But, getting the government out of business that's a different mat tor. To get the government out of business would require, within a period of three years, that tho gov ernment sell or give away: 1. All the national forests, which are In the business, among others, of selling timber and grazing priv ileges. 2. All lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, for the same reasons. 3. All of the federally-built and operated dams in the Columbia, the Tennessee and Missouri basins, to name a few. One could go on. But that's enough. Think what a difference such a program would make to this part of the country. Or would you like to sec a pizza parlor on top of the South Sister? Every seller, it seems, wants to sell his property for more than its worth on the market. And every buyer is looking for a "real bargain." The two find it awfully hard to get to gether. The real estate man is the go-between. And his financial stake in the matter is suclv that he can come out better by persuading the seller to lower his price than he can by spending a lot of time and effort getting the buyer to raise his bid. Add to these factors the case of getting into business a state license is relatively simple to ac quire and the cost of acquiring an inventory is surprisingly low and you can see some bad apples are bound to crop up in a barrelfull of operators. Organizations of realtors are showing increased public responsi bility. The Central Oregon group has warned buyers of possible frauds in desert land subdivisions, and its members are ready to co operate fully in working out initial problems in the state's new sub division law. As groups such as this are willing to undertake greater public social responsibilities, the public picture of the man in the real estate business will improve. They have our admiration al ready. Anyone who will willingly put himself in the middle between a fellow who wants to sell too high and a man who wishes to buy too cheap deserves a tip of the hat. Washington Merry-go-round Adenauer behind decision on multi-lateral force By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON Behind Presi dent Kennedy's decision not to press Prime Minister Macmillan for a multi-lateral striking force was the advice of Chancellor Ade nauer to delay, plus very cold water poured on the project by leaders of the British Labor party. The man who will be the next defense minister of England has assured Kennedy in very forceful terms that the Labor government, when it takes office, will not go for the MLF. George Brown, No. 2 man in the Labor party and the so-called "Shadow Minister for Defense," was in Washington most of last month telling everyone around Kennedy and finally the President himself that Great Britain, under Labor, would not want a multi lateral nuclear force; that it was too costly, too vulnerable, too im practical. Even if Macmillan ac cepted it, the Labor party would not be bound by his commitment. George Brown is charming, in telligent, and above all frank. Various of JFK's staff tried to change his mind. Finally, as he was about to see the President for a final session, McGeorge Bundy, Kennedy's defense adviser, remon strated: "Do you really mean that you and Wilson believe this?" He referred to Harold Wilson, who will be the next Labor prime minister. "Why do you think we put it down in writing?" replied Brown. "When I go in there" and he motioned to the President's door "I'm going to ask him 'do you and Lyndon Johnson really mean Uiis?' " The next British defense min ister not only gave very good rea sons why the next Labor govern ment will be opposed to arming surface vessels with nuclear wea pons but proposed some sensible alternatives. He also assured Ken nedy that Labor will be as good or a better ally than the Conserv atives. "You see we don't go around wearing the Union Jack on our waistcoats," he said. Brown proposed that all nuclear weapons be turned over to the United States, including Britain's. It is too expensive for the two allies to duplicate each other on nuclear research and stockpiling. With the money thus saved, he proposed bolstering British naval . defenses in the Far East where tho United States is weak and is having trouble in Laos. In that area, Brown proposed British f ' My -M'ckeFs Worth', j "Whan mtn differ in opinion, both sides ought equally to have the advantage of being heard by the public." Benjamin Franklin. Cecil Sly gets post on I.W.L. committee To the Editor: I was pleased to note your re cent recognition of Cecil Sly on the occasion of his announced re tirement as Superintendent of Crook County Schools. This com mendation was certainly well de served for Cecil is widely recog nized, not only for his contribution to education in general, but to conservation education in partic ular. You will be interested to learn that at the 1M3 National Izaak Walton League Convention in Cin cinnati earlier this month the newly elected National President, Mr. Burt Brickner of Ohio, asked Cecil to serve as Chairman of the League's National Conservation Education Committee. Thus, al though he is retiring, he will be continually active in this field. Sincerely, Dan P. Allen, Member National Executive Board Salem, Oregon June 25, 13 Flying is safe, but safety up to pilots To the Editor: We agree with your editorial of Juno 12 relating to records in air craft accidents. We are not aware of a single weather associated ac cident in Oregon in recent years that occurred in weather condi tions that were not forecast. Regarding the accident that was the subject of your editorial, this severe weather for flying was not only forecast but broadcast most of the day as a warning to pilots because of its unusual severity. FFA has advised us that the pilot in this case did not initiate a call to them to report his posi tion and the bad weather, but rather FAA initiated a call to the pilot requesting a position report as he was ncaring his estimated time of arrival. If FAA had not The Bulletin Friday, June 28, 1963 An Independent Newspaper Iteberf W. Chandler, Editor Jack McDermott, Adv. Manager Phil F. Brogan, Aiiociate Editor Leu W. Meyers, Ore.

Unofficially, Brown's position , gets a lot of support from the U.S. Military. Gen. Lyman Lem nitzer, commander of NATO, has sent a report to Washington that he is dead opposed to the 25 sur face ships armed with nuclear weapons he is supposed to com mand. The Russians have already dem onstrated how they can spot U.S. carriers in the Mid-Alantic. There fore a surface fleet would be even more vulnerable in the narrow waters of the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Secretary of Defense McNamara flying to Colorado Springs with British air minister Hugh Frazer last month, leaned over backward to be impartial and gave the argu ments against the MLF that it would cost the British one-half of 200,000,000 pounds, was difficult to man and vulnerable to attack. Finally the Italians, Belgians, and other NATO countries ex cept Germany don't want it. And the British, who were denied the skybolt air-to-air missile on the ground of expense, now find them selves urged to take the MLF surface fleet at even greater ex penseeven though it's unwieldy and vulnerable. That's why President Kennedy will not do any hard selling with Prime Minister Macmillan regard ing the MLF, and why this much publicized project will probably be discreetly put on the shelf, never to be revived. Kennedy delays Italian arrival DUBLIN (UPI) The travel ing White House announced today that President Kennedy will ar rive in Rome on Monday instead of Sunday to avoid any conflict with the coronation o Pope Paul VI. In releasing details of the Presi dent's visit to Italy, the White House said Kennedy will have a brief rest beside Lake Como be fore arriving in Rome for talks with Italian leaders and an au dience with the Pope. Originally Kennedy planned to reach Rome from Milan on Sun day, but Pope Paul, who was elec ted pontiff of tho Roman Catholic Church last Friday, has set his coronation for that day. July 4. .Sft-.frft-lt-.W.V.Y..-.-.Yal initiated this call we would have been faced with a search from Roseburg to Mt. Vernon. I know that you, as a participant in air searches, are aware of the prob lems of such a large scale search. It is to FAA's credit that they initiated the call and is consist ent with their present policy of attempting to be of more assist ance to the general aviation pilot. It is not my intention by this letter to attempt to define the probable cause of the John Cawrse aircraft accident. The de termination of probable cause of an accident is a function of the Civil Aeronautics Board as estab lished by Congress. The Civil Aeronautics Board will not issue a finding of probable cause until they have completed their inves tigation, which we know will bo very thorough. Flying has a good safety record. Since 1938 this safety record, so fur as fatalities is concerned, has dropped from 1,4 fatalities per million plane miles to the present level of .2 fatalities per million plane miles. I wonder what re action there would be if the mo tor vehicle safety record were improved at the same ratio. I think it would make headlines from one end of the land to the other. And yet we have too many accidents, as you know. It is in teresting that an extremely small percentage (in the nature of 5 per cent ) of aircraft accidents are associated with mechanical diffi culties. An extremely high per centage of accidents are associat ed with weather and I don't mean unforecasted weather, but rather a question of poor judg ment. This is also true of the other pilot error type of acci dents which make up almost all aircraft accidents. Flying is safe, but only as safe as the pilot makes it. I know of your interest and participation in aviation. I al ways enjoy reading your com ments. They are accurate and timely. Sincerely Robert W. Dunn Director Salem, Orecon June 25, 1963 -.l..vf.J,..1-,l It's another world Word of advice to 'teen girls By Eliubeth Chenoweth Today, a word to the teenage girls. Being one, I know it's a lot of fun to change styles and hair dos because it gets to be tiring just wearing the same old thing and looking the same old way, but there is a limit to everything. Pretty soon our dresses are go ing to become so short that we might as well be wearing shorts. A lot of girls ruin their good looks by wearing short dresses because they have ugly legs (Why someone who has ugly legs would want to show them off is beyond me.) Also, a great many shift dresses are being worn today by teenage girls. They look fine on girls with perfect figures, but a plump or thin girl can sure ruin her looks by wearing one. Another thing that looks very funny is a girl with an exquis site hair-do, wearing a pair of old cut-offs and a sloppy sweat shirt. It makes a girl look very unfenv inine and a little off balance. These are only a few small suggestions but they are impor tant. The boys will appreciate your considering them. Move to block college funds opposed by JFK WASHINGTON (UPI)-Tlie ad ministration has informed Con gress it opposed legislation now which would automatically bar federal money to educational in stitutions which practice racial discrimination. James M. Quigley, assistant secretary of the Health, Educa tion and Welfare Department (HEW) said this week the ad ministration favored the "objec tives" of bills introduced by Rep. Thomas Gill, D-Hawaii, and 52 other congressmen that would cut off funds to such institutions where racial discrimination was practiced. But he said the administration backed President Kennedy's re quest for discretionary authority to shut off such aid. Kennedy's plan also would cover all federal ly assisted programs, not just ed ucation. Rep. Dave Martin, Neb., rank ing Republican on the House Ed ucation and Labor subcommittee considering the Gill proposal, told Quigley that it seemed to him that the official was "giving us a lot of double talk." He accused the department of not doing as much as it could to eliminate racial discrimination. He said the Gill proposal would make it clear that action would have to be taken. Quigley said he could conceive of cases where it might be in the national interest not to bar funds to an institution that practiced discrimination. He cited the example of a re search center that had just scored a breakthrough on cancer and was about to discover a cure. "If I was the administrator re sponsible for making a decision," Quigley said, "I would not cut off funds." Chamber eyes tax proposal PORTLAND (UPD Two offi cials of the Portland Chamber of Commerce indicated this week the Chamber may initiate a sales tax proposal on the state's 1964 general election ballot. President Donald V. McCallum said the chamber was not satis fied with the 1963 legislature's in come tax increase bill, but will not encourage a referendum. "Instead, the Chamber is com mencing immediately to put to gether a model tax program for the state, with a strong likelihood it will propose a sales tax along with provisions for relief on in come and property taxes," he said. Richard K. Brown, chairman of the Chamber's tax committee, said he could not estimate how soon the work would be com pleted, but he hoped it would be in time to allow consideration of a initiative for 1964. Red curtain draws ridicule WASHINGTON (UPI) The State Department has ridiculed the huge red curtains hung by Communist authorities to block President Kennedy's view into East Benin. Department press officer Rich ard I. Phillips said Thursday the hanging of the curtains between piliars of the Brandenburg Gate during Kennedy's visit to West Berlin was a "shamed - face action." "For this East German puppet regime it has not been sufficient to pi up a wall so people can not pass; they must put up a cur tain so people cannot see," Phil lips said. Sagebrush. rigs - Desk cleaned Sagebrusher By I la S. Grant Bulletin Staff Writer A stay-at-home vacation has its merits. Most people work eleven and a half months of the year to support the structures and the grounds they lovingly call "home." So why not enjoy the substance of almost a year's la bors, in two short weeks? There's not a cooler spot in the county than the back-yard patio where the Sagebrusher and Friend Husband relax after the day's toil. "Mr. and Mrs." chaise longues are the goal for this summer. One, a present, is used turn-about. A shopping tour, to provide a mate, is planned. That way, there'll be no controversy. "Why don't furniture designers use this idea for indoor furniture?" Friend Husband asks. He has a thought there. Maybe the lawn furniture will move indoors, for winter. Collector's Item Numismatists, and other money fanciers, are intrigued by the $10 bill-framed and on display at the new Bend branch of Bank of Cen tral Oregon. The bill, an old Lumberman's Bank of Bend note, is printed with the bank name. It was in the 1929 series. The note was sent to John Bauer, bank manager, by a friend in the Willamette Valley, as a curio. These notes were printed by the Treasury Depart ment in the 20's. Anyone who should come across a similar note need not fear to spend it, Bauer says. The old-time paper currency is still negotiable. Cook's Corner Another antiquity was passed along recently by Mrs. Mae Ham by, Butler Road. Going through her recipe collection, she found a 1918 U.S. Food Administration bul letin, designed to conserve wheat. In World War I, Americans had limited supplies of wheat flour. The sacrifice enabled Allied sol diers fighting in France to have the familiar white bread. "Every American has a chance to help," the bulletin advised. "We must use one-half or even less of the usual amount of wheat if our soldiers are to have the bread they need." Corn meal, rolled oats, rice and buckwheat are among the grain products that were used for sub stitute flours. Also used in some areas were barley flour, potato flour, soy bean flour, kaffir, milo and fcterita meal. One of the recipes for substi tute muffins calls for three-eighth cup of buckwheat flour, and 2'i cups barley flour. The other in gredients are 1 cup liquid, 1 tbsp. fat, 2 tbsp. sirup, 1 or 2 eggs, 4 tsp. baking power and 1 tsp. salt, combined in the usual way. Yesterday's sacrifice is today's treat. Health food addicts, and persons with allergies, are finding that white wheat flour isn't ne cessarily first choice.

Would-You-Believe-lts Guests at a tea recently at the home of Mrs. Carl E. Erickson oh-ed and ah-ed over the lush blooming geraniums, around the patio and in the yard. Truth is, some of the flowers were phonies, stuck in to complete the color scheme. Betty keeps a supply of artificial blooms, to tuck in the greenery while the plants are rest ing.

And some masculine readers may have been remind ed of the slipping away of the years by the news that several companies plan to increase the price of friction tape. Masculine readers, be it noted, because friction tape was pretty much limited to a man's world. In other days, we recall, it used to be known as tire tape, possibly because it was often wrapped around punctured, tubcless bicyc le tires. Mainly, however, when one baseball had to last a boy a good part of a whole summer, the tape was wrapped around the ball after the horsehide cover had been knocked off. A baseball so adorn ed was a thing to reckon with. It thumped into the mitt like a rock, and sometimes a batter, connect ing squarely, would be jarred down to the soles of his sneakers. It's good to know the old, black, smelly tire tape has not yet been vanquished by progress in such forms as multi-colored plastics. We commend its qualities to those areas of public and business life where tape is required. Though its price be going up, it Is less costly and more serviceable than the ubiquitous red. (Wall Street Journal.) Viewpoint From an editorial In the Farmers' Alliance, Lincoln, Nebr., Feb. 15, 1890: The cranks are those who do not accept the existing order of things, and propose to change them. The existing order of things is always accepted by the majori ty, therefore the cranks are al ways in the minority. They are always progressive thinkers and always in advance of their time, and they always win. Called fa natics and fools at first, they are sometimes persecuted and abus ed. But their reforms are general ly righteous, and time, reason and argument bring men to their side. Abused and ridiculed, then tolerated, then respectfully given a hearing, then supported. This has been the gauntlet that all great reforms and reformers have run. from Galileo to John Brown, i i rvir-" .rrtiaGHiH VISIT PLANNED DUBLIN (UPI) The White House announced today that Pres ident Julius Nyerere of Tan ganyika will be the guest of President Kennedy in Washington July 15 and 16.
