Legislators From Medford Praised By House Speaker Salem Speaker of -.the House Edward A. Geary, Klam ath Falls, today complimented the accomplishments of - Med ford's two state representatives, E. H. Mann, and E. A. Littrell, in the 115-day session that wound up at Salem last week. -. Littrell, a freshman, turned in what Geary considered a "first-rate job" as vice-chairman of the House Highways commit tee. T?he Jackson county auto parts wholesaler also served on the Commerce and Utilities and Labor and Industries commit tees, and Geary noted that the two water resources bills which originated in Commerce and Ut ilities "will undoubtedly prove to be the most valuable long range legislation undertaken, at Salem this year." Mann Praised "As chairman of the House Elections and Reapportionment committee, Ed Mann . was con fronted with an unprecedented number of proposals to alter our election laws," Geary said. "He (Mann) was instrumental in the promotion of such legisla tion as that providing for easier election recounts, signing of pollbooks and an interim com mittee to study Oregon's corrupt practices act." Mann, Geary added,, also was a "very diligent worker" on the House floor and as a member of the Forestry and Mining and Medical Affairs committee. Baldock Speaks On Road Program Washington (U.R) R. H. Baldock, Oregon's state highway engineer, said yesterday it would take 14 years to build a new inter-state highway system under the proposed Democratic sub stitute for President Eisenhow er's 10-year-hlghway program. Projected over a -4 0-year per iod, Baldock said the administra tion plan would provide $31, 000,000,000 and the Democratic substitute $24,000,000,000 in fed eral funds for the interstate sys tem and the regular federal - aid highways. He told the House Public Works Committee "it would be impossible" under either plan to complete construction of the regular federal - aid highways in 10 ' years without unreasonable boosts in state road building revenues. "But, if we can build the na tion's most important system of highways, the interstate system, within 10 years," he said, "it would appear possibls to do at least the main portion of the other job within 20 years." Klamath Indians Seek Hunt Rights Portland (U.R) Representa tives of the Klamath Indian tribe asked a Federal Court here yes terday to enjoin state authori ties from imposing Oregon hunt ing and trapping regulations on the reservation. Hunting - and fishing rights were granted the Klamaths and Modocs by an 1864 treaty with the U. S. and the court has been asked to decree that a 1953 law of Congress will not take away those rights. The Klamath complaint was similar to one filed in March by the Umatilla! Indians who claimed their 1855 treaty rights superseded the 1953 law. Nine individuals brought the complaint on behalf of 1,800 Klamaths. The complaint named the Oregon attorney general, state police superintendent and members of the game commis sion as defendants. As We Live ly ELIZABETH HU3LOCK, PH.D. Exaggeration Isn't The Same As Lying Exaggeration and lying are not exactly the same, though there is much the same intent back of both. . (Q) "I was brought up to be a xespecior of the. truth. As chil dren, if we told a lie. we had our mouths washed out with strong kitchen soap. My parents both looked upon lying as one of the greatest sins. Strange as it may seem, I married a liar. To be fair to him. he does not actually lie because there is always some truth to what he says. But he exaggerates every thing so outrageously that it really amounts to lying. When I tell him be knows that it Is not true, he always looks sheepish and backs down. How can I break him of this habit?" (A) Yoyr husband is not actu ally lvine. in the strictest sense of the word. He is merely "em broidering" or exaggerat i n g the truth to gain more at tention than he would get if he stuck to the facts. Never ac cuse him of "lying" if you Dt. Herlock want to break him of the habit of exaggerating: You would offend him and lead him to believe that you have little con fidence in him. You might also make him wonder if you loved and trusted him. instead, treat him as you would a child who exaggerates. In other words, call his bluff. When he says something that is obviously highly exaggerated, show surprise and ask him how it could be thus and so. This will make him aware of the fact that his exaggerations are beyond belief. Be careful not to be critical in your attitude when you ask him for further information. It would be better to feign sincere curiosity and interest, and then let him try to explain to you why things are as he said they were. He has doubtless become so used to exaggerating that he is Thursday.

Smith, 76, won a di vorce Wednesday when he testi fied that every time he beat his wife at cards, she gave him a tongue-lashing . and threw the deck in his face.

Price Regulation For Gas Opposed , Washington (U.R) The Chamber of Commerce of the United States told Congress to day that federal regulation of natural gaa prices will "set a dangerous precedent." A chamber spokesman, H. B. Fell, president of Simpson-Fell Oil Co., Ardmore, Okla., said "If the prices of fuels are to be regulated by the federal govern ment, then the prices of other commodities entering' into inter state commerce might likewise be regulated." Fell, in testimony before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce, said federal regula tion will divert gas to intrastate uses, discourage exploration of new gas sources and interfere with state conservation meas ures.. The result, he said, would be higher nrices to consumers. ; He testified in favor of a bill exempting producers of natural gas from federal regulation.
