(AP) The United States forest service is contemplating closing to the public that tiny spot of the ei ski you na tional forest In which the rare rock rhododendron grows. Assistant Super visor h. L: Colvlll said todsy. The rhododendron Is the '"kalmlop sls lcachlai.a" and Is namM for Mrs J. R. Leach of Portland, who dis covered It for the world on June 14, 1930, at Gold Basin. The total area In which the plant grows In the na tional forest and apparently nowhere else In the world Is 1200 acres, all! In a six mile radius. Although the section In the big craggles Is 36 miles from OranU Past, Mr. and Mrs. Leach and Mr. Colvlll had to make a four-day trip via Gold Beach the past week-end to Inspect the plant, which has blossoms of rich carmine thickly covering shrubs less than a foot high. The rock rhododendron Is a 'throw back" from plants which grew dur ing the Tertiary period of geologic history. According to a paper prepared by Dr. Alfred Reahder, Harvard uni versity botanist. But the public. Mr Colvlll reported. Is rapidly extermin ating the plants by uprooting them. Rose Princess Pies PORTLAND, June 34.

Boitoa, Uui economic system, the chances are that the risk to tha government wilt not be great. Such, In essence. Is the Gourrlch hypothesis. To Illustrate It, he as sumes that the national Income In 1938 will be (50,000,000,000. made up, In part, of 20,000,000 tons of steel, 3.500,000 automobiles, and 1,000, 000,000 worth of building materials. HeAurther assumes that the objec tive Is to raise the national Income from 950,000.000,000 to 975,000,000,000. And that brings him to his central presumption that. If steel, motors and building material production rises, the whole economy will follow after. Therefore, he suggests that. raise the national Income by 925, 000,000,000, It Is only necessary to underwrite a 60 per cent Increase In production In the three key Indus tries. He admits that the effort would be experimental, but main tains that enough steel, motors and building materials prosperity would communicate Itself to the economy to make the experiment surely worth while. Man About Manhattan By OK) ROB TICK KB Nor does Dr. Gourrlch limit him self to theory. His theory Is Imple mented with a plan for a govern ment corporation to underwrite pro duction, with 9200,000,000 of pre ferred stock and 50 per cent of the common stock subscribed by the treasury. He suggests that the re maining 50 per cent of the common stock could be taken up by the steel -masters, motor manufacturers and building materials men, to be paid for with a sort of tax of 25 per cent of their profits on the additional goods turned out. Elaborate figuring convinces Dr. Gourrlch that the sum of 92,000,- 000,000 would be amply sufficient to underwrite 60 per cent Increases In production in his three key Indus tries. According to Dr.-Gourrlch, to show that the government could not lose, he declares that .even if na tional Income were swelled by a mere 910,000,000,000, and If the gov ernment had to take up Its entire liability In new goods, It would still make enough In taxes and save enough In relief to come out even There Is no space here to discuss the details of Dr. Gourrlch '9 plan, or Its validity. The Important thing about the Gourrlch plan Is that It represents a new approach to the economic: problem an approach. which discards the New Deal credo that the government can do It alone, and turns to the existing Industrial mechanism as the only hope. If Dr. Gourrlch were alone among New Deal economists, his new approach might be a mere literary curiosity, but, as it happens, he Is not alone. NEW YORK. I always wanted to bt a drummer boy but not any more I found out from Charlie Carroll Al Donahue' drummer boy, The first man n the band to ar rive and the last to leave la the drummer. If he has all the In strumenti he must have to be a good drummer It takes a ten-ton truck to move him. And hla In stru mental over head would make a violinist with a brace of Strads look like' a penny pinching piker. One of the dustiest Jokes around a band Is for the boys to gather around and watch the drummer t up or "break down" and wise-crack "Aren't you sorry you didn't study the flute?" I was not alone In that business of wanting to be a drummer boy, though. With some. It has developed into something more than a boyhood ambition. The Duke of Windsor, for example. In his Prince of Wales dayj. he never could resist the temptation to step Into the band and beat off a tattoo. Bill Leeds, the tin plate millionaire, Is another who likes am ateur drumming and Harold Lloyd, who has rat-a -tatted In some of the best orchestras In Hollywood and Jackie Cooper and Prank Veloz, who (Yolanda tells me) often misses dance step when they glide by the drum stand. Charlie Carroll says being pushed out of the drummer's seat by drum- omanlacs Is Just another thing that a fellow has to put up with. But diplomat that he Is, though only 21 years old, Charlie adds hastily that he's not troubled that way by guest at the Rockefeller's Rainbow Room where Donahue la now playing. Charlie was the youngest of the big-time band drummer boys until Dove Tough came along with Benny Goodman. Dave's only 10. Charlie has three other distinctions (1) The boys all call him "Buttercup," (2) He's a Flatbush, Long Island, boy who made good, and (3) He's 5-feet-10 and weighs only 110 pounds. He has everything In his layout but kettle drums and he's taking lessons on them now from Bill Glad stone, the boom-boomer In the Radio City Music Hall orchestra. He prac tices two hours a day and, I thought all you had to do was hit those things. Charlie practices on rubber pads so he won't distrub the neigh bors. I know a piccolo player I wish would practice the same way.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS LOTD LOW, sheriff of Klamath -i county, la interested in a placer mine In the Klamath river canyon near Happy Camp, north of Yreka He exhibited to this writer the other day the latest clean-up from the sluices. The clean-up Is worth about $5400 at present gold prices, a expressed In paper dollars. 4 TP HE gold was contained In two alkaseltzer bottle one filled to the top with small nuggets, about the size of the head of a large pin and the other about half full of larger nugget, including one weigh ing $24. In addition, there was a lump of amalgam (that probably Isn't the correct mining word) obtained oy puddling the material In the bottom of the sluice with mercury, which has an affinity for gold, and then vaporizing the mercury with heat. THE clean-up, representing about A 70 hours of operation, la worth as already stated, about $0400. That Is a lot of money, and one jumps to the conclusion that a good placet mine Is a bonanza. That, of course, isn't necessarily true. A mine la an Industrial opera tion, and operating cost haa to be charged against Income, as In any other business. This particular mine uses up-to- date and costly machinery and has considerable payroll. UITE a group, of course, gathered around this exhibit of nuggets washed from the earth, and when questioned afterward each member of the group confessed to an Itching of the lingers and an odd, prickling sensation along the splnet Why does the sight of raw gold af fect us like that? for It DOES so affect most people. elf one of these instruments the doctors use had been attached to the arm of each person gazing at Lloyd' a bottles of gold, it would have regis tered a considerable Increase in blood pressure. THERE'S something primitive and elemental about raw gold. Per haps, unconsciously, we associate with the sight of it all the blood that has been spilled for gold since the world began. 4 Twenty-nine nations were on the allied side in the World war.
