FOR RARE PLANT IN
BIG MS AREA
GRANTS PASS, June 24. (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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

spoke on immigration. He itressed the
dangers of permitting the wrong type
of alien a foothold and forcefully
brought home the laxity of Immigra

with other nations. Stating that there
