MAIL TRIBUNE
Editorial Correspondence
San Francisco, July 23 From a newspaper standpoint San
Francisco and New York have one thing in common every 24
hours something terrible happens. And "something terrible" hap
pens, not outside the city but in it. No wonder the Hearst press in
both places prospers.
Whiskey doesn't mix with a 32-caliber revolver any better
than it does with gasoline. The other night a husky we used to
see play pro-football here, escorted a drunk out of his saloon at
the corner of Filbert and Fillmore (how is that for alliteration?)
and shoved him gently into the gutter where, being dead drunk,
he belonged. But the d.d. was not only full of whiskey but had
a "32" in his stevedore's jacket. Reclining there in a half stupor,
overflowing with canned-heat and hatred, he "bing, bing, bing"
filled his old-time friend with lead and woke up in a cell the
next morning charged with first degree murder.
a
Will he swing, or crumble up in a gas chamber?
We don't like to be cynical, but we fear the eventual outcome
will depend very largely upon how much money the family and
friends of the slayer, Jim Invernettzi, a beer-truck driver, can get
together.
If sufficient to interest a sharp criminal lawyer, our guess
would be "No."
The victim was Roy Barni, a member of the all-star team of
the University of San Francisco and later with the Washington
"Red Skins." He played defensive back last year, barely out of
his twenties, and was due soon to leave for preliminary training
at the national capital.
Because of that "32" mixed with whiskey, he leaves a wife and
one baby another expected soon with only the income from the
Fillmore saloon to sustain them.
The moral, we would say, is rather too obvious to mention.
m m m m
But that's the way it goes here in 'Frisco pardon us "Native
Sons" and in Greater Manhattan also.
Seldom does a day pass that some terrible local crime doesn't
get a banner on the front pages.
That is good for circulation and especially street sales, but to
"a barefoot boy from the country" it does at times become a bit
depressing.
Surprising and heartening Is that verdict from Knoxville, Ten
nessee, by a jury finding seven of the Tennessee "racists" guilty.
There was no doubt legally of their guilt. But we assumed it
would' be almost as difficult in Tennessee as in Mississippi to get
a white jury to follow the law instead of their racial prejudices.
We hasten to admit our error.
Tennessee is not Mississippi, Alabama, or any other state in
the "Deep South." It is a border state, and as a whole gave up
fighting the Civil War many years ago.
The "Solid South" is still fighting it, and as the Southern Sen
ators have shown, will continue to fight against the U. S. Consti
tution, as long as they live as far as giving equal rights politically
to the Negro is concerned. As one of them remarked "We just
WON T do it."
Our guess is they won't, so far as affairs within their states are
concerned. At least, if they get what, as of now, seems likely, a
jury trial in equity cases. For in the Solid South there is still no
evidence that where the rights of the Negro are violated by
whites, any white jury will convict. All the phoney dramatics and
double-talk aside, the. "rebel South" is back where it started from
one hundred years ago, in the era of "Nullification" the only
difference is it is fighting now for White Supremacy instead of
slavery and with political weapons, instead of real ones.
What has San Francisco got that no other city in the country
has got? The answer is easy CLIMATE. Only one hundred miles
away they are frying eggs on the sidewalk, while here, as this is
written, the residents on the sidewalks find furs for the "gals"
and topcoats for the men exceedingly welcome. Small wonder this
is a popular convention city, particularly in the summer, for it
adds up to a cool and stimulating sea voyage without any mal-de-mere.
R.W.R.
The Crater Lake Murders
We are indebted to some alert member of the staff
of the Klamath Falls Herald and 'News, who has a
long memory, for the reminder that it was five years
ago that the so-called Crater Lake murders occurred.
That newspaper printed the following review of
the crime, one of the most notorious of the relatively
few committed in this area, and still unsolved.
No clues, no suspects, no activity. That at the moment
sums up the trail that began five years ago amid the trees
of Crater Lake when searchers stumbled on the bodies of
two General Motors executives, brutally murdered by
person or persons unknown.
It was five years ago last Saturday that the two men
were reported missing. Their automobile, with one door
open, and the keys in the ignition was found on the high
way at the scenic site of Annie Creek canyon.
The two men, A. M. Jones and C. P. Culhane. had been
visiting friends in Klamath Falls. They had decided upon a
week end fishing trip to Union Creek. The two men had
gone on ahead, and two Klamath Falls men, followed them
about an hour later.
The two Klamath Falls men came upon the empty car,
and after waiting some time to see if the men would return
to the car, they sounded the alarm. It was thought the men
might have fallen over the canyon edge at that point. The
canyon was thoroughly searched, and it wasn't until Mon
day that searchers discovered the bodies of the two men
about a quarter mile back in the brush, away from the road
and the canyon. I
That was five years ago, and today, the murders remain
the major unsolved crime of the area.
Reviewing some of the facts of the murders: Both men
had been cruelly gagged with an undershirt, and their own
neckties. They had been in a sitting position, apparently,
when they were shot in the head by a small .32 caliber
automatic.
Jones had suffered a skull fracture and a groin injury
an autopsy disclosed.
When found, both men still had their wallets, but they
were empty. Both men were known to have been wearing
wrist watches, but these were missing. Both men's shoes
had been removed, and Culhane's shoes have not been found
to this day. Jones' shoes were found just a short distance
from the bodies.
Single shell cases of .32 caliber automatic bullets were
found beside both Culhane and Jones' bodies.
And that's all that is known about the case.
These objects have not been found despite intensive
search of the area, and constant check with pawnbrokers,
jewelers and gun handlers.
But the case is not closed, it never will be.
Anytime there is a crime report involving a .32 auto
matic revolver, the sheriff's office, here, as well as the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, check out the story to try
to determine whether the individual involved might have
been near Crater Lake at the time of the murder in 1952.
The wrist watches, the shoes, the gun ... all are trace
able, but to date they have not been found.
It's entirely possible that all the items, the watches, the
shoes and the gun are all in one bundle lying in the brush
or in the water somewhere between Klamath Falls and the
Crater Lake scene.
Someday the case will be solved, they almost always
are. Someday it will be known exactly what happened, and
how and by whom.
But today, five years later, the trail appears to be ice
cold, but certainly not neglected or forgotten. Some
day ...

Today and

DOUBTS ON DISARMAMENT
Talking about "disarmament"
on Monday, Mr. Dulles showed
how very difficult it will be to
reach a signili-
cant agree-
ment. To be
sure, he said
at the end of
his speech that
we must as
sume that
since an agree
ment is neces
sary, it is pos-
Walter Llppmaan SIDie, ana trial
we must make it possible. But,
one who reads the complicated
arguments of the speech itself
must, it seems to me, ask him'
self whether the problem may
not be insoluble on the lines
where the London Conference is
now working.
For, reduced to Its elements,
are we not saying that since we
cannot trust the Russians, we
must have an agreement with
them which gives us and them
not only the right but the fa
cilities to know all about our
two military establishments. Dis
trusting each other, we are to
disclose to one another what
weapons and what soldiers each
has, where they are at every
moment, what is going on in the
military arsenals, particularly
in those doing the top secret
wont. '
Since we distrust each other
we are to make a treaty which
would abolish military secrecy
more completely than it is abol
ished in our dealings with our
closest allies. All that the intelli
gence services have been trying
to do against the most formid
able counter-espionage services.
inspectors are to be authorized
to do under an international
treaty. From profound distrust
we are to jump to full disclosure.
It will be extraordinary if it
happens, that we shall sign and
ratify a treaty to solve the prob
lem of mutual distrust by ar
ranging for the complete dis
closure to those whom we dis
trust the whole military situa
tion. a
TS it conceivable that the great
military powers of the world
will allow themselves to be pho
tographed continually from the
sky, and will allow their air-
fieds, their ports, their arsenals,
their factories to be inspected
continually on the ground un
less by some miracle they have
already come to trust one an
other? Thorough inspection re
quires a high degree of confi
dence, good faith, and good will.
Although it is being put forward
as the remedy for distrust, it in
fact assumes that distrust has
evaporated.
Does this mean that any agree
ment to regulate armaments is
unlikely? I would say that not
much is to be expected of any
agreement that is complicated, of
any agreement requiring elabor
ate understanding on details,
and a highly trained and diversi
fied personnel to administer it.
There is logic in our policy, as
Secretary Dulles described it on
Monday. But it is the logic of
technical specialists in a closed
room, and not the logic of states
men in the real world. It is all
too fine-spun, too technical, too
subtle, too intricate for the work
ing relationships . of the Soviet
Union and ourselves.
Our agreements will have, I
should think, to be simple and
obvious. If they are not, they
will be enormously difficult to
translate into a treaty, and still
more difficult to carry out in
practice.
a
A SIMPLE and obvious agree
ment in the field of arma
ments would not be addressed
to the quality and the quantity
of weapons. It would be ad
dressed to the geographical de
ployment of military forces. The
best example we have of such an
agreement is the treaty to evacu
ate Austria. This treaty did not
require inspections. Nor did it
pose the question of how to de
tect bad faith. Once the occupy
ing powers agreed to withdraw
CW!AG'.

Lippmann
from Austria, it was known to
all whether the agreement was
being carried out. The Austrian
people were all the inspectors
that were needed.
In my view, this is the type
of agreement which holds the
greatest promise first, that
it will be carried out, and second,
that it will promote peace.
Since it deals with the deploy
ment of forces outside the na
tional territory of the great pow
ers, it deals with something that
is visible and obvious. Disarma
ment, on the other hand, re
quires agreements which reach
into the heart of the national
territory of the great powers,
indeed into the inner citadels of
their national defense.
It is fair to ask ourselves
whether in seeking this type of
agreement, we are taking the
right line.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Interesting financial note:
The American Bankers Associ
ation reports today that school
children had 177. MILLION
DOLLARS on deposit in school
savings accounts at the end of
the current school year.
That represents an increase of
12'4 per cent over the previous
year. The number of children
taking part in the plan showed
an increase of 14 per cent.
w
iy is that so important?
Let's put it this way:
Our country's population is in
creasing switfly. The statistic
ians, basing their estimates on
the birth rate over the past dec
ade and a half, tell us that in
another decade expansion of our
population will become EXPLO
SIVE.
What that means is this:
If jobs are to be found for
everybody, expansion of our in
dustrial economy must keep
pace with expansion of our pop
ulation. There must be vast
numbers of new dwellings for
our people to live in. There must
be new schools for them to go
to school in. There must be new
factories for them to work in
if we are to produce the vastly
larger quantities of foods that
will be required by our expand
ed population.
If all that is to come about, vast
sums of new capital will be
required. New capital is created
by the SAVINGS OF THE PEO
PLE. If sufficient new capital
is to be provided to meet the
needs of our expanding econ
omy, our people must be taught
to save. .
The best time to teach them is
while they are young. Along
that line, let's quote Alexander
Pope, who says in his Moral Es
says: " 'Tis education forms the
common mind:
"Just as the twig is bent the
tree's inclined."
The house interior committee
formally killed the federal
Hell's Canyon dam project by
a vote of 16 to 14.
The action, anticipated for the
past three weeks, came after
spsonsors of the highly contro
versial public power proposal
made brief speeches defending
it. One of its defenders called
it "the only legitimate develop
ment of the people's resources in
Hell's Canyon."
Fourteen Republicans and
two Southern Democrats cast
the negative votes that spelled
final defeat for the project.

ques t i o n ex

Rocer w. Babson Therefore, let
me this week answer five ques
tions on this subject.
REGARDING EMPTY STORES
QUESTION 1. Why do we find
empty stores on our business
streets? ANSWER: Because more
money is going out of the com
munity than is coming into it.
This can be corrected only by
the citizens producing more and
selling more than they are buy
ing. As soon as the community
produces more than jt consumes,
every store is rented.
REASONS FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT
QUESTION 2. Why are good
people out of work at times?
ANSWER: Because 'these people
have not been trained to pro
duce or render more than one
service. Perhaps too many young
people have been trained for
white-collar jobs. Perhaps there
are too many business offices
and not enough factories, serv
ices, farms, or fisheries. Per
haps those who are now em
ployed do not take an interest
in their work; hence, they will
in another direction.
Our feeling has been that if
the people of the Columbia
Basin want the power that is
provided by the water of the
Snake river as it passes through
Hell's Canyon developed by the
federal government, rather than
private concerns, that is their
affair.
We have presumed that not
much of the power of the Col
umbia river and its tributaries
will get down our way. Besides,
we have our own great rivers,
which we are developing to pro
vide our own power.
B
ut
Down this way we do find in
teresting a statement made by
William Hard in the current
Reader's Digest. He says:
'At present rates of taxation.
the Idaho Power company
which is building private dams
in Hell's Canyon will pay 500
million dollars in federal and
state taxes during the course of
its licenses. The federal dam, is
being owned by the government,
would never pay any taxes at
an."
sion to denounce the 75-year-old
Bey, declare his throne no longer
existent, and name Bourguiba
president of the Tunisian repub
lic.
It was indicated that Bour
guiba planned to make himself
the "strong man" of northwest
Africa.
Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben
Youssef of neighboring Morocco,
which also obtained its inde
pendence from France, was dis
pleased. He figured Bourguiba
might give Moroccans an idea.
Inability of the Western Allies
and Soviet Russia to agree on
the essential "first step" bogged
down the Lbndon disarmament
negotiations.
The Allies, led by the United
States, want to start off with an
agreement under which the test
ing of nuclear weapons would be
South. He shocked his colleagues
with an unqualified warning that
blood would flow in any such
process, that concentration
camps would have to come to
hold the overflow from southern
jails.
Administration Begins Retreat
The senator said he thought
President Eisenhower did not
know all that was in his own
civil rights bill. Subsequent
news conferences indicated Rus
sell was correct. At that point
in the first week of July, the
administration began a strategic
retreat on civil rights.
In the matter of three weeks
since Russell spoke, the retreat
has become a disorderly rout.
The pending legislation, as now
amended, more properly could
be called a Russell bill for what
is not in it than an administra
tion bill for what it still contains,
The administration moved fast
to check the Senate trend against
the bill, although not fast
enough. Sen. William F. Know-
land (R-Calif.) was leader of the
Republican-Democratic coalition
which sought Senate approval
of the bill, which already bad

employers. Sometimes I feel
that graduates who cannot get
jobs should be, re turned to the
schools and be properly trained
If we buy a washer, or a vacuum
cleaner, or a TV set and it "does
not make good," we can return
it until it is satisfactory. We
should be able to do this with
unsatisfactory high school grad
uates!
REASON FOR TIGHT MONEY
QUESTION 3. Why is it now
difficult to borrow money from
local banks? ANSWER: Because
too many citizens are sending
money to New York to be put
into stocks, instead of investing
it at home. This might have
been a wise thing to do in the
1930's when stocks were selling
so low; but it is not the thing
to do today. For those buying
stocks now there is more risk
of a loss than for a profit. If we
would keep the money at home.
the banks would have plenty to
loan.
WHAT ABOUT
SHOPPING CENTERS?
QUESTION 4. Is your com
munity being hurt by a new
shopping center? ANSWER:
There is no use of merchants
griping, or complaining, about
new shopping centers. Price-cutting
on the part of local retail
ers will not solve the problem.
Free parking is the greatest at
traction of shopping centers. The
best way to compete with them,
therefore, is for local towns and
cities to supply more free park
ing closer to their retail stores.
I would not attempt to operate
a retail store unleis it was close
to a free parking lot. Also, the
more competition a community
has from a shopping center, the
more that community must pro
duce from its factories, farms,
services, or fisheries.
WHAT ABOUT TAXES?
QUESTION 5. Why are local
taxes so high? ANSWER: First
let me say that the taxes of most
communities have not gone up
any more than have wages or
commodities. Most town and
city governments are doing the
best they can to keep taxes
down; but they cannot buck the
tide of population and the de
m a n d for conveniences. As
young people move into a com
munity and have children, usual
ly only the father is a producer.
Children are an asset to the
community, if they will remain
in the community as workers
and producers after graduation.
Otherwise, the community has
been put to great expense to
educate them and has received
little in return. Cities to which
these young people go for work
after graduation or the young
people themselves will some
day be compelled to send money
back to the city which educated
them.

suspended for a trial period. But
they insist that simultaneously
there must be an agreement to
stop production of materials for
nuclear weapons after a speci
fied date.
Russia insists that the first
step must be simply to suspend
tests for a long period, without
any halt in production.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles said in a national television-radio
report to the nation
that the Allies require convinc
ing proof from Russia that it is
serious in its professed desire
for disarmament. Until then,
Dulles said, the United States
will continue production and
testing of nuclear weapons.
Soviet Premier Nikolai A.
Bulganin, in a letter to British
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
lan, accused the Allies of stall

Bulganin said, to suspend weap-
ons tests unconditionally. i
