SPOOKS Every so often those little pests which always hang around in a newspaper plant or print shop decide to gang up on the crew and mess something up just to make life miserable for the editor. They're well known in other businesses too, and 1 hey always go by the same name Gremlins. They're always around pulling dirty little tricks on us like spelling names wrong, changing the prices in ads or pulling out important classi fied ads when the printer's back is turned. We try to keep an eye out for them, but last week we must have turned our back for rjuite a while from the way they messed up a couple of our stories. One or two of them must be Republicans, or at least rabid private power advocates, because they pulled Ihe names of Ed Collison and his crew of i f dent of that club this vear is Buyrl Cooley, vice president, : Lvnn Hnhhs.

It's a good thing we didn't have any story last week about Wayne Morse's stand on Hell's Canyon dam, it probably would have turned out to have been a dandy by the time they got through with it.
