The K. E Hercules Plant
Klamathites who have been wondering just what
processes will be carried on in the pilot plant which
the Hercules company is now readying on the former
Ewauna mill site in their town, got many of the an
swers last week.
DILL JENKINS, managing editor of the Herald and
News, quotes the Hercules plant superintendent
as revealing that no explosives will be manufactured
there.
The Klamath installation will turn out naval
stores resin and its products such as terpentine, pine
oil, etc., the superintendent said, and will also delve
into the commercial possibilities of the marketable
products from Ponderosa pine stumps. The plant will
furnish the various extracts
perimental laboratories of
plans for a full scale plant may be worked out, pro
vided there are enough stumps to warrant such in
stallation.
pOR THE present the plant will employ about 25 or
30 men in the woods and around 70 or 75 in the
mill. Of those employed, all
men.
No river pollution problem will be involved, the
superintendent explained.
will be ashes from the boiler and the soil which is
washed off the stumps
woods.
"OPERATION of the layout as briefly described by
the Hercules official will include digging the
stumps from the ground
grouped in piles of anywhere from eight to 16 tons by
use of a small tractor with
ing it.
1 he stumps will then
ing and cutting and loaded
railroad and shipped to Klamath.
Next they will be run through a hog and a thread
er, reducing them to chips of the proper size for
processing.
DUT INTO extractors and solvents pumped through
them at high temperature and pressure, the chips
will then be steamed to regain the solvent. What is
left will be burned to generate steam and power used
in the plant operation.
Treatment of the solvent by evaporation will re
cover the original ingredients, leaving the resin and
liquid elements that come from the wood.
From the three major elements of turpentine,
resin and pine oil will come more than 250 derivatives
with a market value.
TN ADDITION to the process described, it was stat-
ed that the plant will carry on experiments with
other woods native to the area.
Construction of a major, permanent plant at
Klamath (the present one is only a pilot, or experi
mental set-up) will depend on freight rates and what
success is had with the pilot effort. E.C.F.
Tax Evaders Paradise
Americans whose incomes, from the lowest to the
highest, are hedged about by so much bookkeeping
that tax dodging is both difficult and dangerous, must
view the taxpayers' situation in some European coun
tries with interest if not envy.
France and Italy, particularly, are tax ducking
heavens, according to the U. S. News and World Re
port. 1 here only the wage

ported by his employer. For
especially the more well - to -
to dodge, not to pay.

the law calls for. He isn't even required to file a new
tax return every year. The
least once in his life, then let the government know it
his income changes later. Few, naturally, comply with
the latter provision of such an easy-going statute.
jlOST ridiculous phase of the Italian system, from
an American viewpoint at least, is the collection
of income taxes by private agencies, instead of by the
government. The collectors work on commission of
five or six per cent and not infrequently find it more
convenient to accept a little gift on the side than to
press for collection of the full tax.
Tax collection in Italy is made harder by a law
which forbids banks giving out information as to how
much money a depositor may have. In addition many
businessmen keep three sets of books one for the
management, one for stockholders and one for the
tax collector.
INVITATION to fraud is equally wide open in
A France where it is estimated that the government is
losing $1 out of every $1 due in taxes.
Frenchmen bargain with tax collectors as to a
sessments. When a declared income is obviously far
out of line with the citizen's mode of life, the collector
and the balky payer sit down and argue the matter
out. Usually they arrive at a figure jnly a fraction of
the amount really owed.
Making the bookkeeping situation in France
even more complicated than in Italy, business men of
the former country often attempt to keep records in
their heads instead of on paper.
e e
THE FRENCH taxpayer has at least one thing in
common with most of his American counterparts.
Taxes are so complicated that the ordinary individual
doesn't understand how the rates are arrived at. He
cannot compute his own taxes and, anyway, he figures
they are too high. E.C.F,

"Fortunately I have a father
In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
THE news this week is full of
highlights. Here is one of
them:
T. V. Soong, brother of Mad
ame Chiang Kai-Shek has quit
the Kuominetaniz (China's Na
tionalist ruling party) rather than
come to rormosa, where his sis
ter and her husband, the general
issimo, have pledged themselves
to stay and die (die when the
communists take over the island
that is the last stand of non-communist
China.)
SOONG is one of the world's
wealthiest men. He is safe in
New York, along witli his brother-in-law.
H. H. Kung. another of
the world's wealthiest men. The
fortunes of both were MADE IN
CHINA.
If they had obeyed orders and
had gone to Formosa, they would
have gone there to die. Death is
a futile gesture. They tell them
selves they can do more for their
country by STAYING ALIVE.
Who are we to criticize? We
don't face death. Till you face the
music, you never can tell what
you might do.
gTILL
If America were dying, as Old
China is dying and our rich men,
whose fortunes have been made
in America, ran away and re
fused to come back and die with
the rest of us who were staying
Well, in that event we would
know WHY AMERICA WAS
DYING.
NOTHER highlight:
The other niclit. in Jackson
ville Fia QUADRUPLE AMPU
TEE Jimmy Wilson was married
to Dorothy Morlenson, his class
room sweetheart. After their hon
eymoon they will settle down at
Boulder, where Jimmy will enter
the law college of the University
of Colorado.
WHY is that a highlight of the
news?.
To understand that, you must
understand what a quadruple
amputee is. A quadruple amputee
is a person who has lost both
hands and both feet. Jimmy lost
his in a wartime bomber crash.
LET the teletype take it from
there:
"The twilight ceremony was a
gay affair, with no overtones of
tragedy. Jimmy walked to altar
with steady tread (on his arti
ficial feet.) . . . after both spoke
'I WILL' in firm voices. Jimmy
WITH HIS SILVERED HOOK
HAND received the ring from his
best man and deftly placed it on
the finger of his 23-ycar-old
bride . . .
"... After a brief reception,
thev headed for Canada with
Jimmy at the wheel (handling it
with his artificial hands and
pushing the pedals with his arti
ficial feet.)"
A LOT of people insist on tell
ing us the world gets stead
ily worse and worse.
I can't believe it.
There was a time, not too long
ago. at that, when if Jimmy had
lived at nil he would have lived
to he A H KG GAR ON THE
STREETS, at the worst, or at the
best to earn his meager living
selling papers on a corner, with
people buying from him instead
of some other newsie OUT OF
PITY FOR HIS PLIGHT.
Now. thanks to modern pro
gress he is the self-respecting
husband of a girl who married
him not out of pity hut because
she loved him and thought he

News
was all right and he is starting
to law school to learn to be a
lawyer and earn a self-respecting
living.
Tell that to the next pessimist
who tries to make you believe
the world is getting worse instead
of better.
ANOTHER highlight of the
news that I can't resist:
In Baltimore a couple of gam
blers got into a quarrel over a
card game. They agreed to go
home and get theri guns and
shoot it out.
The did.
The one who was killed in the
duel HAD HAD A GUN SLIP
PED TO HIM SOMEHOW THAT
WOULDN'T GO OFF.
THE trouble with gambling is
that there just doesn't seem to
be any way to make gamblers
honest.

he's a "charac

"When the pa

Howard has his reasons for
this. He explained it this way:
"To me. Marie is 'my friend
Irma.' Irma isn't a low-cut neck
line type. I hate to sec her out of
character."
That's a sin Howard was never
guilty of. At 35. he's radio's top
screwball-genius. He writes, pro
duces, and directs. He also
screams, bellows, sneers, and hol
lers louder than anybody.
And for this he makes more
money than anybody else in ra
dio except the performers.
Doesn't Have lo Play
"1 am not afraid of anybody,"
Howard said. "Let those other
boys play at being a producer. I
don't have to play. I am one.
"People who work for me have
three choices: They can do it
totally my way. absolutely my
way. or completely my way."
If this sounds conceited, okay.
But Howard's "way" has zoomed
"Irma" to the No. 4 spot on the
air and his "Luigi" to No. 16.

Expanded Program of
U.N. Technical Aid
To Be Launched Today
Lake Success, N. Y., June 12
(U.R) Representatives of some 70
nations meet today to launcn tne
United Nations' expanded pro
gram of technical aid to the
world's backward areas.
It was a moot point whether
Russia, which has boycotted all
UN organs for the past 21 weeks,
would show up. If they do. it
was a foregone conclusion they
would walk out again, protesting
the presence of the Chinese na
tionalists. The conference thus
would become the 33rd UN activ
ity boycotted by the Soviet states
since the Russians first walked
out of the security council on
January 13.
Sets Bavahior Pattern
Poland already had set the pat
tern of Soviet behavior bv notify
ing Secretary-General Trygve Lie
it would not participate in the
technical aid conclave if the Chi
nese nationalists are present. Lie
rejected a Polish demand that
he Invite the Chinese commun
ists, explaining that the general
assembly had instructed him to
summon the UN's 59 members
and those countries not members
of the UN which belong to spec
ialized agenceis participating in
the aid program.
That made a total of 74 coun
tries invited. Only Bulgaria and
Saudi Arabia formally reject
ed the bid to the conference.
Meanwhile, the trusteeship
council was scheduled to return

made there.
Barbecue Set
A barbecued beef banquet
will top off the day. Entertain
ment will include baseball, a
tug of war. horseshoes and a
vaudeville show. The event will
begin at 3 p. m. Members are in
vited to come at any time after
that hour and bring one male
guest.
Proceeds will be used for the

Chinchillas Are Good
Following Six Months
Cleveland, O. (U.R) The
Peter Zahutas thought they
were stuck when they kept their
pair of chinchillas six months
and had no little ones.
"I'm sure they're both boy
chinchillas." said Mrs. Zahutas,
and she complained to the Cleve
land Better Business Bureau.
The bureau didn't help much
but the company from which
they bought the animals at S600
apiece worried over its promise
that they would produce one or
two litters every year.
It turned out the chinchillas
just couldn't make up their
minds. After six anxious months,
mama chinchilla brought forth
two healthy youngsters, each

at its winter session in Geneva'
The plan was rejected by Israel
and ignored by Jordan, the two
powers now occupying the Holy
City. '
Alternate Plan
Israel, in rejecting interna
tionalization for the entire city
of Jerusalem, offered an alter
nate plan providing for UN
guardianship of the holy places
of three faiths. But the council
was not expected to act on it, as
its instructions, specifically limit
its action to drawing up an inter,
nationalization staute for the
whole city.
The entire issue was expected
to be thrown back to the a
bly's fall session.
The technical aid conference
was largely a formality. It wit
summoned to formalize contribu
tions by countries which already
have proffered them informally
in conferences with UN officials.
It also will ratify a previously
recommended schedule of how
the funds will be distributed for
technical assistance work by the
UN and its specialized agencies.
$20 Million Expected.
More than S20 million is ex.
pected to be pledged for the first
stage of the program, which will
parallel President Truman's "A

ject, for which congress recent- ,
ly voted S35 million. The United
States, it was understood, has in
formally pledged between $10
million and $12,500,000 for the
period ending Dec. 31. 1951.

pledged the equivalent of S1.700 -000
and France $1,200,000.
