Ex-Mayor Flynn
Tells Klamath Folk
Of Manager Plan
Diamond L. Flynn, former
mayor of Medf ord and now pres
ident of the League of Oregon
Cities, spoke in favor of the city
manager plan of government
recently at a meeting of some 50
interested people in Klamath
Falls, according to the Klamath
Falls Herald and News.
Flynn was mayor of Medford
at the time the plan was adopt
ed by a vote of the people here.
He pointed out that there are
now 1,273 cities in the United
States which are under city
managers, and that of Oregon
cities with more than 10,000
population, only Portland and
Klamath Falls do not have city
managers.
Flynn emphasized the great
savings in unified city purchas
ing which have resulted from
the plan, and he said its greatest
asset is the increased efficiency
of city government.
He cautioned that the man
ager should be kept completely
out of politics, and that the posi
tion should be appointive rather
than elective. In this way there
is no danger of the manager be
coming "a dictator,'.' since he
must answer to the mayor and
council, Flynn pointed out.
Flynn's appearance at Klam
ath was sponsore dby the Klam
ath County Republican club,
which held a reorganizational
meeting following the talk.

Over West Europe on Summer Vacations
By UNITED PRESS
The greatest horde of overseas
tourists in history more than
half a million Americans will
swarm over Western Europe
from now until October.
They are charter members of
a revolution in vacationing.
It is an uprising which is tak
ing tens of thousands every sum
mer from the jammed U.S.
highways and sending them by
plane and ship across the Atlan
tic. They will spend as little as
$360 or as much as $2290 just to
get there and back.
They will find that Italy has
supplanted France as the Amer
ican tourist's favorite country.

than $2,500,000 for military con
struction in Oregon for the fiscal
year starting July l.
Most of the money is for Air
Force installations at Klamath
Falls and Portland.
A sum of $1,991,000 was ask

Naval station in Astoria.
Missing OSC Book
Located in Maine
Corvallis (U.R) A book
missing for 32 years from the

book when they noted the OSC

Librarians at OSC, who had
long given the book up for lost,
were willing to fosget the fine.

Polio Foundation
Short $11,000,000
New York (U.R) The Na
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis announced today that
it is $11,000,000 short of its 1955
goal "to carry on the unfinished
fight against polio."
"Polio is not yet defeated,'
President Basil O'Connor said
"The most optimistic estimates
of vaccination prospects before
the summer indicate there will
be many polio cases this year.
"The National Foundation will
offer aid to those who contract
the disease, as it has in the past,
Furthermore there are at least
70,000 patients still suffering the
after-effects of polio for whom
the National Foundation must
provide."
Blimp Base Use Urged
For Storage of Grain '

sider their money well used and
look forward to going again
lneir numbers go up every
year.
In 1953 some 376,000 Amer
icans vacationed in Europe. Last
year it was around 450,000. This
year's total is estimated at a rec
ord 560,000.
The Reasons
Why are Americans in such
growing numbers going abroad?
There are many answers but
the biggest one unquestionably
is the airplane. It has made it
possible for a man with only two
or three weeks' vacation to span
the ocean swiftly enough to see
something of the .old world.
Last year some 290,826 per
sons went by plane from the
United States to Europe and the
Mediterranean countries. The
total carried by the major steam
ship lines was 325,358. This
year it should be closer to a toss-
up
Second big factor is continu
ing American prosperity and
the discovery that Europe is a
pretty good bargain as a vaca
tion land. Except in fancier ho
tels and restaurants, prices are
well below those in the United
States and the food usually
better,
The American Express Com
pany estimates that a person go
ing to Europe for at least a
month can get by on $25 to $35
a day. That includes the cost of
transportation there and back.
That, of course, is a minimum
figure and allows for few frills.
Gold Hill PTA
Hears Plans for
School Buildings
Gold Hill Gold Hill Parent-
Teacher association met April 14
at 2 p. m. in the school gymnas
ium. The program was put on by
the music department of the
first, second and third grades
under direction of Mrs. Marie
Brannock, second grade teacher.
Following the program the
business meeting was conducted
by the president, Mrs. Fred Les
ter. H. P. Jewett, superintendent
of school district 6, gave a talk
on the new school which is be
ing planned. He announced that
a special $350,000 bond election
will be called for April 28 at
both Central Point junior high
and in the gymnasium of the
Gold Hill grade school from 2
to 8 p. m.
The $350,000 bond will be for
construction . of two schools, a
four-room primary unit at Gold
Hill and a 12-room primary unit
at Central Point.
Schools Crowded
Reason for the building of
these schools is the over-crowded
conditions which exist and to re
move the first and second grades
from the sub-standard rooms
which they now occupy. It is
hoped that the Gold Hill building
will be completed by fall and
that the two first and two second
grades can both be moved into
the new building.
Keeney and Edson, architects
in Medford have done prelimin
ary planning to determine and
estimate the amount of money
needed. The building will, be so
designed so that new rooms can
be added when needed.'
Mrs. Ralph Hixon, in-coming
president, will attend the state
convention this month at Port
land and will make her report
at the May meeting. Mrs. Viola
Tolman Blue presented the
school an animal picture to be
given to the room which has the
highest room count for the
month, therefore giving each
room a chance to have the pic
ture.
Robert Sage talked on legis
lative measures. Refreshments
were served by the seventh grade
room mothers, Mrs. Alva Wil
liamson, Mrs. Robert Clement
and Mrs. Ernest Cooper.

Measures
Salem U.R) The House has
passed a bill clarifying the
state's criminal code, giving ap
proval to a bill repealing the
statute that now makes persons
sentenced to life imprisonment
"civilly dead." The proposed law
would , deprive felons of their
civil rights while imprisoned,
but would provide for their res
toration after their release. Per
sons sentenced to life imprison
ment have no legal existence
even after they are paroled.
Another bill corrected an er
ror in a 1947 law recently de
clared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court. The faulty law
had provided greater penalties
for assaulting with intent to
commit a crime than for com
mission of the crime itself. The
bill would, for example, provide
the same penalty for smashing a
nose as for attempting to smash
it.
Six bills went to committees
after suspension of house rules
to speed the session. Instead of
the usual one-day delay between
first and second readings of the
measures, they were passed im
mediately to committees for ac
tion. Salem '(U.R) The Senate has
passed a resolution calling for
continuation of . the study and
negotiation of a Columbia river
compact.

measures, taxes or fees imposed
upon utilities, such as electric
and gas, telegraph and telephone
and bus, streetcar and taxicab
companies.
Salem (U.R) Oregon legis
lators in the House have ap
proved a measure that would
give them an advance on their
second year salaries and ease the
financial burdens of 100-day-plus
sessions.
The state pays its lawmakers
$600 per year, with the full first
year salary paid shortly after
the legislative session begins in
the odd-numbered year. Under
present law, they do not get
their second year's pay until the
following year.
The bill introduced by Rep. F.
H. Dammasch (R-Portland) would
provide for payment of a $300
advance on the second year's
pay within a week after the close
of the session. The balance would
be paid in July of the 'even
numbered year.
The bill now goes to the Sen
ate. Salem U.R) A bill restor

votes.
