o Dissident Faction of Klamath Indian Tribe Opposed To Delay in End of Federal Control Washington (U.R) A rep resentative of a dissident faction of the Klamath Indian tribe said yesterday she was "vigorously opposed" to a delay in termina tion of federal control over the tribe. "The people I represent are opposed to any further delay in the application of this termina tion law because any such delay would be a deliberate attempt to kill the law altogether," Mrs. Wade Crawford said. Sooner the Batter "I know the majority of the Klamath Indians are against putting off this termination any longer. They want to get out from under federal control, and the sooner the better." Mrs. Crawford, who said she is one-quarter Indian, lives with her half-Indian husband on a ranch on the Klamath reserva tion in Oregon. She testified at a hearing of the Indian affairs subcommittee of the House Interior Committee. Following the three hour morn ing session Chairman James A. Haley (D-Fla.) said further hear- ill f " i ings would be required because several miles from Klamath rails ana tnat mosi 01 me, ae tailed work had fallen on him. Watters testified that he and the other current member, Eu gene Farvell. were drawing a salary of Sl.OOO a month each. "But it's a 24-hour-a-day job and I wouldn't take it on again for twice that money," he said. "I only agreed to accept it in the first place because I felt a re sponsibility to help with this problem." Jobless Compensation Increase Favored Seattle (U.R) Delegates at tending the convention of the Western Council of the Lumber & Sawmill Workers Union has gone on record in favor of a sub stantial increase in state unem ployment compensation. The council's executive secre tary, Earl Harley, said the rec ommendation is in line with President Eisenhower's proposal to make payments to the job less equal to roughly half the average weekly wage. In Washington state, Hartley said, that would be about $55 per week, compared to the max imum S35 per week now in effect. (tOP TV HOMY WINNER Ralph Story, master of cere monies on the New York TV program, "The $64,000 Challenge," holds 11-year-old stock market expert Leonard Ross of Tujunga, Calif., in his arms after the youngster became the biggest quiz show money winner in television history. Leonard, who previously won $100,000 on "The Big Surprise" by answering question on the stock market, won $64,000 on Story's program answering questions on the same subject the committee was not yet ready to go into executive session to decide the issue. Four Bills in Work Four bills have been proposed for presentation to the house to amend the termination act and provide for a delay to the end of federal control. Mrs. Crawford said her group is opposed to "any delay whatso ever." "The opposing side has argued that the Klamaths are not ready to be let out on their own," she said. "They're trying to make us out as a bunch of teepee, long hair Indians who are only in terested in getting their money and running. "That's not true and the other side knows it," she added. "The Indians out there are intelligent, educated people and are perfect ly capable of handling their own affairs." T. B. Watters, management specialist for the tribe, testified that he felt delaying termination was necessary because of the time it took to explain to the Indians their rights. He said he did not mean the Klamaths weren't "competent," but said rather it was a "matter of ex perience." No Time Set To Resume Mrs. Crawford castigated Wat ters in most of her testimony, charging that former Interior Secretary Douglas McKay ap pointed Watters to the $12,000 a year job as a "favor." She -said Watters and other members of the management specialist board "have done nothing except try to delay and ultimately kill the termination act." Haley did not say when hear ings would be resumed on the Klamath situation, but he indi cated the subcommittee was dis appointed it was not able to com plete them in the past three days. - Members of the subcommittee questioned Watters sharply on the amount of work done by the management specialist board hired by the Klamaths to help them prepare for the termina tion.

Housewives Warned On Use of Aspirin As Canning Method Omaha (U.R) Douglas Coun ty Health Director Dr. Edwin Lyman warns housewives to quit the old practice of using aspirin in canning fruits . and vegetables. Lyman said the idea of using aspirin in canning apparently stems from a belief that aspirin in a vase, of flowers gives the blooms longer life. Whether that's true or not, Lyman said, aspirin can poison if taken in large enough quan tities. And he said that aspirin, contrary to belief of some house wives, will not protect canned foods from bacteria. Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT Jack Hudson Adam, violation of basic rule. $10.

Daniel, Warning: Don't Step on Valuable Acheta Assimilis Hollywood v'U.R) The next time you encounter an Acheta Assimilis, don't yield to your natural impulse to step on it be cause it may be worth more than you. It's going price at the mo ment is as high as $5 in some cases, whereas the worth of the human body, in actual chemical value, is probably not much more than SI even in these in flationary times. Acheta Assimilis is the formal name, but to most of us it is the black field cricket an unimpos ing little hexapod destined for respectability and prominence among humans if Desmond Slat tery has anything to say about it. Slattery, who likes to think of himself as a sort of public re lations man for bug s, has plunged headlong into the high ly non-competitive business of breeding the chirping insects and selling them for pets to Americans who may not have hearths. He claims his business is already booming and that he can't meet all of his orders. To his way of thinking, pet crickets can become as much of a fad in the United States as goldfish or parakeets. He point ed out that crickets have been good luck pets in Japan for hundreds of years. Cricket Ranch When I started this business about six months ago, the whole sale pet dealer I contacted with my idea was not particularly im pressed," Slattery sadi. "He just looked at me and said, 'who the devil wants a cricket?' But when I sold and sent out 2,000 of them at Christmas, he immediately joined with me." Slattery, who has a cricket ranch in the Hollywood hills, says he's behind some 800 orders. "I've got this cricket market cornered," he boasted. Crickets generally cost from 35 to 75 cents and their tiny cages, built delicately with tooth picks, range from $1.50 to $3. But Sattery said some people are so impatient to get hold of the insects that they have of fered him as much as $5 apiece. "I sent out a lot of cricket cages when I was flooded with orders and a lot of people who got cages haven't got crickets yet," he commented. "A cricket cage isn't particularly useful without a cricket to go with it, but I didn't anticipate such a boom. At any rate, I've got a new crop coming up." Slattery pointed out the ad vantage crickets have over or dinary pets in that they are about as economical as you can get. "They don't eat very much and they aren't fussy about their diets," he said. "I feed mine the same dog food I feed my big Irish wolfhound." Thursday, February 14, 1957 MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Association of Retarded Children Lists Program James E. divorce decree.

MACARONI TO ITALY Boston i(U.R) Massachusetts firms annually manufacture some $20,000,000 worth of mac aroni products and ship them to all parts of the United States east of the Mississippi; also to Puerto Rico, Ireland and Italy. Spaghetti outsells baked beans three to one in Boston. Wine consumption in south Europe, beer in northern Eu rope, and tea in Japan and China became common among residents because of a general lack of a supply of pure water.

News About Books From the Library In observance of Brotherhood Week, Feb. 17 to 24, the Med ford Public library this week called special attention to books that will help people learn how to get along in the family circle, in the community, on the job, in our national life, and in the world at large. Books are available at the library on all phases of human relations, according to Librari an Miss Helen Webster. For younger readers there are books that will help them to understand and appreciate other children; for teen-agers there are books that will tell how to un derstand their parents, as well as how to get along with persons of their own age group; for men and women there are books that will help them to get along with their business associates, culti vate friendships, live with older adults, and understand children and adolescents. A few of the titles on family relationships that have been added to the library recently in clude: "You and Your Aging Parents," by Mrs. E. Stern; "The Golden Years," by Thomas Col lins; "Understanding Your Par ents," by Ernest Osborne; "Un derstanding Teen - Agers," by Paul Landis; "Marriage is for Two," by Francis Strain, and "Happy Marriage," by John O'Brien. Recent titles concerning the world family include: "Races and People," by Isaac Asimov, an explanation, in simple terms, of the subject of race which will change many preconceived no tions; and "The Glass House of Prejudice," ' by Dorothy Ba- ruch, a constructive description of the causes and results of prejudice. Robert Penn Warren, a white Southerner reports on a crucial problem in "Segregation: the In ner Conflict in the South," and J. C. Furnas does an immense service in the struggle against racial prejudice and stereotyped thinking in "Goodbye to Uncle Tom."
