pound the boy had formulated.
His first batch of the mixture
fizzled when he touched a match
to it so Ronald added more sul
furic acid and struck it with the
screwdriver.
The explosion ripped off his
dungarees and blew out a nearby
basement window. His two
friends escaped injury.

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.

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

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.
