Back info the woodwork Students smoking more but enjoying it less . , . especially at grade time Are high school students smok ing more and studying less? Or is it the average to marginal student who does most of the smoking anyway? We'd like to know the answers to these questions. They are prompt ed by the survey submitted to the American Medical Association's clin ical meeting this week In Portland. The survey, conducted by a Selah, Washington doctor, showed that high school students who smoke do not make as high grades as those who don't. This is the same type of survey as those made In recent years about automobiles. These . showed that students with cars didn't do as well in school as those who did not have cars. In the auto survey it was proven that cars took too much of the student's time that he might have used for normal study. The result was obvious: poor grades. The cigarette study showed that not only did students who smoked get lower grades but that they were more apt to drop out of school and participated in fewer activities. The doctor didn't say it, but he Implied that smoking is the cause of all the trouble. This is like saying to a youngster, "Don't smoke boy, because those cigarettes are a drug. They'll slow you down and cause you to sit around tossing the bull with your fellow smokers when you should be studying." Perhaps this is right. Certainly Wind shear Heavy, high-flying jet aircraft are, we were told when they first were placed in commercial service, much safer than smaller aircraft because t hey can "fly above the weather." And for much of the time this is true. But the jets have found at least one new problem, up above the weather. This is what is called "wind shear." It is unpredictable turbu lence, at' very high altitudes L'0,000 feet and above. It is caused by freak ish vertical updrafts and downdrafts, sometimes very close together and sometimes very strong. It creates a sort of tug-of-war. It is believed to be the cause of the accident which tore an engine off a DC-S over Texas early in November. It is held respon sible for the crash over Florida dur ing a thunderstorm early this year. The Federal Aviation Agency, Civil Aeronautics Hoard, airlines operating jets, and aircraft manufac turers are aware of the rare but potentially dangerous problem. They also are agreed it Is in the process of being licked. The cure Is two-fold airline pilots are being told not to slow down too much when they encounter turbulence, and they have been ad vised to use a different technique to overcome the effects of vertical turbulence. Pilots entering a turbulent area normally " ill slow down to a certain speed. In the case of these unex pected downdrafts and updrafts. there is nothing healthy about smoking for persons of any age. But we would suspect that there are other factors to consider. The most important factor might not be valid today. It was valid 20 years or so ago when sophistication wasn't so. important in the American way of life. Twenty years ago, students smoked of course. But one had to look hard to find any of the top students, either scholastically or in the area of student activities, who smoked. It just wasn't the thing to do. In those days, the students who smoked were the average to poor students. They did a lot of other things the better students didn't do and didn't have time for. We would like to see the doctor go a bit further in his study. For example, what are the IQ's of the smokers? How do they relate to the non smokers? What was the class room performance of the smokers prior to the time they started smok ing? Was there a noticeable drop in grades after smoking was started? Is there a definite cause and rela tionship effect here that should be publicized? In the meantime, it is evident that the smokers the doctor inter viewed don't all fall into the average or lower percentiles of the class. Not with 41 per cent of the junior boys in one high school pulling on fags. however, the permitted penetration speed may be too low. The jets are first caught in a violent updraft re ducing airspeed even further and putting the planes in danger of stalling. A jet, with its swept-back wings, has a tendency to stall at higher speeds than conventional planes. If a stall is feared during the updraft, the natural tendency of a pilot is to push the nose down and gain air speed. At this moment, the updraft changes to a downdraft and the air speed becomes so great as to create control problems. Higher turbulence penetration speeds will lessen the chances of stalling in the updraft. Pilots are being told to try to keep the nose level at such times. It may be more bumpy, but in the long run will be far less hazardous. Quotable quotes I am the only President you have. If you would have me fail, then you fail, for the country fails.

Turkey's link with Afaturk oteps down By Phil Newsom UPI Staff Writer The marble ruins of ancient cities along Turkey's coastline, the remains of a Roman aque duct, Istanbul's winding narrow streets and its covered bazaar are symbols of Turkey's past. Modern dress, the alphabet and a western-style parliamen tary system are the outward symbols of an evolving modern Turkey started on its way more than 40 years ago by Kemal Ataturk. Yet just as Turkey, astride the Dardanelles and the Bos porous, lies both in Europe and Asia, so its social structure stands astride both ancient and modern times. More than half its population Is illiterate. Ero sion is eating away the topsoil of its farmlands and unem ployed peasants are flocking to mushrooming cities. Despite $4 billion in aid, Tur key still is unable to carry it self. Constant Tension And between the peasants, resentful that Uiey now must pay taxes to help Turkey help hersell, and students and young officers impatient at the slow pace of Turkey's revolution, there is generated a tension which leads to a perpetual state of crisis or near crisis. The problem is not one of en croaching communism but one strictly made-in-Turkey. From the regime of the de posed and later executed Pre mier Adnan Menderes, Turkey inherited galloping inflation and the headaches left by pall-mell but unplanned industrialization. Two attempted military coups failed but political unrest has continued to mount. Finally, in last month's local elections the opposition Justice party emerged the chief winner and this week Premier Ismet Inonu, Turkey's 79-year-old link with Ataturk, stepped down. Blast! Tax Program The Justice party widely is regarded as the heir to the out lawed Democratic party which was led by Menderes and tra ditionally favored the Turkish farmers from whom it drew its chief support. Reflecting the farmer's rising discontent, the Justice party centered its fire on the new taxes necessary to . pay for Turkey's ambitious five year development program. Since Inonu opposes a coali tion with the Justice party which also is regarded with suspicion by the Turksih mili tary, Turkey now seems des tined for an extended period of political uncertainty at a par ticularly unfortunate time. Turkey's development pro gram still is in its first year and is at a critical stage. The first year has been de voted to road construction, communications, harbor facili ties, schools and clinics. They were necessary but were not immediate income producers. To pay for them taxes were raised and must be raised again if an ambitious program to invest more than another billion dollars in t h e Turkish economy in 1964 is to be realized. Included are plans to in crease oil production, the man ufacture of a new oil pipeline and plants to manufacture fer tilizer, plastics and synthetic rubber. Turkey needs an annual in crease of 7 per cent in her pross national product if she is to keep ahead of an annual population growth of 4.5 per cent. Political unrest makes achievement of the goal uncer tain at best. Mv Nickel's "Worth.

Dec. 3. 1963 Capital llcpbrt : What were Senator Morse's motives in his fast declaration of Senate independence? By A. Robert Smith Bulletin Staff Writer WASHINGTON - Sen. Wayne Morse lost no time declaring his independence after President Lyndon B. Johnson assumed of fice. Was this simply the custom ary ritual of the Senate gadfly for propagating the legend that he fiercely withstands all pres sures and yields not even to the president of the United States in voting his conscience? Or was it a premature decla ration of hostilities by the Ore gon liberal senator who habit ually tangled with Johnson when the Texan was running the Senate in much too conservative fashion to suit Wayne Morse? Only the coming months will tell. But the proposed Soviet wheat deal provided an opportu nity for Morse to flare up with indignation aimed at the White House before Johnson was in office a week. It occurred when the Senate killed a bill by Sen. Karl Mundt, R-S.D., which was designed to prevent the Export-Import bank from guaranteeing credits ex tended to the Soviets by Amer ican grain dealers who sell wheat to Russia. The late Pres ident Kennedy opposed the Mundt bill, and so did Johnson because Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon concluded that U.S. commercial banks aren't prepared to grant such credits and that "without Export - Im port Bank guarantees, it is very doubtful that the sales can be made." Morse had testified for the Mundt bill before the Senate Banking Committee. The com mittee voted 8 to 7 against the bill, with Sen. Maurine Neu berger among those who oppos ed it. When the Senate voted to kill it, 57 to 35, Morse was ab sent; but the Congressional Record the next day recorded him as paired against the Mundt bill. Washington newspapers inter preted the vote as a senatorial declaration of support for the new president. But Morse didn't want anyone to suspect he had changed his mind or yielded to White House requests to vote against a bill he had been for. So he rose in high indignation the next day to say: "I did not cast my vote on the basis of instructions that came to me from the White House, for in my opinion the president was dead wrong in the position he took on the Mundt bill. I do not sit in the Senate as a senator of the pres ident of the United States. I sit in the Senate as a senator of the people of the state of Ore gon and it is to them that I owe my trust of following where the facts lead. I owe them and not the president the duty of voting in the Senate in ac cordance with what I think the best public interest is in connec tion with any issue and not in accordance with the wish of the president if I consider him to be wrong on any issue." Morse prefaced this by telling the Senate that one of the presi dent's assistants had telephoned him to say the president "would like to have me vote against the Mundt bill." Morse said he replied to the White House aide that he should tell the president that the Oregon senator "would vote for the Mundt bill because in my judgment it was in the public interest." "This is a matter of judg ment," observed Morse. "I am sure it will not be the last time that I will find myself in dis agreement with the president of the United States on the merits of some issue." Morse explained his position on the bill by predicting that the Soviets may welch on the deal, refusing to pay the agreed costs in full. Morse said "our experience with Russian leaders is perfectly clear." "I can hear them. They may say that they have found that the wheat is wormy. Or they have found it dirty. Or they have found this and that wrong with the wheat but they have found some excuse for welching on their purchase," he added. "I see no reason why taxpay ers' money for the Export-Import Bank should be set up as a subsidy-guarantee to the grain dealers of the U.S.., assuring them that they can trade with out loss because the taxpayers will guarantee their payments." It - Washington MeiTy-gb j rmiiid , Gen. Walker was planning speech to coincide with one by Mr. Kennedy before church group By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON John F. Kennedy was scheduled to speak this week in Philadelphia before the National Council of Churches. Simultaneously Gen. Edwin A. Walker, severely rep rimanded by the Army under Kennedy, was scheduled to speak against both Kennedy and the National Council of Church es. . The coincidence of the two speeches was no accident. Gen. Walker's speech, later cancel ed, was deliberately planned by the so-called Rev. Carl Mcln tire as part of the hate cam paign which he and other ex tremists have waged against the late President and which had made it increasingly diffi cult for Kennedy to put his pro gram through Congress. It may also have contributed to the at mosphere of hate and suspicion in Dallas. Aligned with Rev. Mclntire and Gen. Walker have been such other individuals and or ganizations as Dan Smoot of Dallas. Rev. Billy James Hargis of Tulsa, and the National In dignation Committee whose leader, Frank McGehee. insult ed Adlai Stevenson in Dallas. The National Council of Churches before which Presi dent Kennedy was scheduled to speak includes all the leading Protestant churches of the Uni ted States and stands for the Kennedy policy of better under standing with the rest of the world. Five Catholic observers are attending the Philadelphia conference. The council also ad vocates coexistence, technical assistance to the underdevelop ed countries, collective bargain ing in labor relations, reduction of armament by international agreement, and the propagation of Christian responsibility in Africa. The contrast between t h e council which sponsored Kenne dy and the organization which planned to attack Kennedy is vivid in the extreme. Rev. Mclntire was defrocked by the Presbyterian Church and thereafter he set up the so-called "American Council of Chris tian Churches." a name which has confused many people. Mclntire. through either his sermons or his literature, has charged that "The Catholic Church is the harlot cliutv.h and bride of the anti-Christ": that the National Council of Church es is "Apostate. Communist, and Modernist." "The strongest ally of Russia"; that Brother hood Week sponsored by the .National Conference of Chris tians and Jews is "a gross per version of Christian teachings." Mclntire has questioned the loyalty of John Foster Dulles. claims that the United Nations is bankrupt morally, and has joined Sen. Barry Goldwater in advocating the abolition of the income tax. His weekly publication. "The Christian Beacon," described Roman Catholicism as " the great enemy of freedom and liberty that the world has had to face today. . .one would be much better off in a Communist society than in the Roman Catholic fascist set-up." Radio Network of Hate But most of all, Rev. Mcln tire and his stable of propagan dists have been against Kenne dy's policy of coexistence. The Mclntire literature and radio broadcasts made it appear that the late President was about to sell out the United States to Moscow. Most interesting fact about propagandist Mclntire is the manner in which he gets priv ileges from the same federal government which he attacks. First is his weekly magazine, The Christian Beacon, which gets second class mailing priv ileges and can mail its copies at the rate of 1.6 cents per pound. Second, Mclntire conducts his services largely over the air ways owned by all the people under a fairly recent FCC de cree urging more controversy and discussion on radio and TV. In theory this is an excellent decree. But in practice it has been taken advantage of by some of the hate groups; while the church organizations and civic groups which preach bet ter understanding have not shown the same energy in com bating these broadcasts. Mclntire's radio program is called "The 20th Century Re formation Broadcast" and be gan in 1958 from a single sta tion in Chester, Pa.. WVCH. It built rapidly, which in itself show the tendency of some Am ericans to fall for suspicion and hate. In May of 1962, Mclntire announced, "God has given us 305 stations." He appealed for more money to support them, and said his ambition was to get 600 stations. Call For Help On Nov. 21, 1963. just as he was organizing his rally against Kennedy and the National Coun cil of Churches in Philadelphia, Mclntire sent out another ap peal for funds. "My dear friend." he wrote, "we are in serious financial dif ficulties. For the last three weeks, for some unexplained reason, our receipts have fallen way down: in fact, almost in half. The November envelopes, for some reason, have not come in as usual. It is very serious. We are trying to catch up and now we have come to the limit. "We are going to have to start dropping stations and this will be a severe blow to us, coming just at the time when the President is to be in Phil adelphia. "Unless I have some real re sponse to this letter, stations are going to stop carrying the program. We. are at 533 and we must not start going down. "Thanksgiving meant so much to these early Pilgrims. I am thankful for all that God has done for us through these months through the broadcast. I believe that God will hear the prayer which accompanies this letter. He knows. 'In God we trust.' May he richly bless you, my friend. Gratefully, Carl Mc lntire." A network of 533 radio sta tions is a lot to carry a broad cast every day which preaches distrust in the President of the United States, plus attacks on other churches. Attempt due on contract CHICAGO (UPI)-A special committee representing thou sands of trucking companies across the country today was authorized to "attempt to nego tiate" a national contract agreement with the Teamsters Union.

Hoffa. ..-srrr.ynr -jsixsa a ; Lawmakers took; economy moves voted on Oct. 15 By Zan Stark UPI Stiff Writer -r SALEM (UPI) The special session of the legislature enact ed the economy moves demand ed by the voters' Oct. 15 tax referendum. The result could be a $40 mil lion fiscal hangover. That may be the amount -of new revenue needed during the 1965-67 biennium just to mainr tain the austerity level of state services now in effect. v J Even if you eliminate all cap ital construction for state insti tutions and higher education that has been planned for, or postponed to the next biennium, revenues may be ?20 million,' short of what will be needed. By junking capital construe-, lion, chopping basic school aid and trimming general fund agency budgets, the legislature during the special session en dorsed the governor's program to slice the state's $404 million general fund -budget to -about $360 million. Lawmakers also had to dip into next biennium's income for an additional $12 million to keep the reduced budget in the black.. The $12 million, added to $8 million of one-shot revenues ap proved during the regular, ses-"1 sion, means' that, through book-; keeping changes, $20. million of income that normally would have been collected during the 1965-67 biennium has been moved ahead to help ease the bite this" biennium. This "rob Peter to pay Paul" move simply means the state's income will be $20 million short next biennium. Legislative Fiscal Officer Ken neth Bragg estimated the state's revenues next biennium may be about $370 million. He estimated a $411 million general fund budget would be needed just to maintain cut-back services. This means the 1965 legisla ture will start off more than $40 million short of what it needs to help keep the state's books in the black. Bragg is quick to point out there are many variables that could change this picture. Fed eral income tax cuts could in crease the state's tax revenues. Further delay of building pro-, jects could -ease. spending, jfc, quirements. .-. But the inescapable fact -re-, mains that normal increases m population at state institutions, schools, colleges and universi ties will demand more spending. Lawmakers will be spending much of their time between now . and the next legislative session trying to find an answer.; It seems there may be no way to avoid having to raise additional revenue.'.
