4 B THuUSDAY, NOVbMBt.lt 29. 1962 MLLU'OHD MAIL 'IHIBUNtJ, MtUKOilU, OlItGON Recent Act May Provide Benefits Mine Claimants Portland T h e bureau of land management's Portland Land office has announced that the recent J o h n i o n Church act may provide new benefits for a large number of mining claimants. Stanley D. Lester, manager of the Portland Land office, said that under the new law, resident holders of unpatent ed mining claims may be per mitted to purchase an interest in as much as five acres of the land they occupy, if the claim is invalidated or relin quished under the mining laws. Lester indicated that the in terest to be conveyed may be as much as full title or may in some cases be less, such as a lease or term permit. Baied on Fair Value "In any event," he said, "the purchase rice will be based on the fair market value of the interest conveyed." He added that in the western states there are probably as many as 20,000 cases on public lands where the occupants hold valuable improvements on invalid min ing claims. Lester said that i.i order to qualify, the claimant must be owner on Oct. 23, 1962, of valuable improvements on the claim, which must also be a principal place of residence for him. He and his predeces sors must have possessed it for seven years prior to July 23, 1962. Casual or inermittent use, such as for a hunting cabin or for week end occupancy do not count. Nor does the act apply to renters or squatters, or to people whose claims were obviously not made in good faith. Regulations for carrying out the act are being pre pared by the department of the interior. Additional infor mation may be obtained from the land office, bureau of lund management, 710 NE Holla day St., Portland 12. Car Designers Appreciate Finer Arts, Director Says Use of Foreign Ships Gets Backing Washinston-OT-Scn. Mau rine B. Neubcrgcr (D-Orc.) and Rep. Julia Butler Hansen (D-Wash.) Tuesday supported an application by the Georgia-Pacific Co. to ship Pacific Northwest lumber to Puerto Rico aboard foreign vessels. The Democratic legislators filed statements with the Fed eral Maritime administration urging approval of the re quest to help the hard-pressed West Coast lumber Industry meet Canadian competition. A hearing was opened on whether to suspend laws which limit trade between U.S. ports to American-flag vessels. Both Mrs. Neuberger and Mrs. Hansen said that open ing the trade to low-cost for eign vessels would help Pacific-Georgia a lumber mills re cover part of the market lost entirely to British Columbia producers. By ROBERT JRVIN UPI Automotive Editor Detroit-UIPti-"You'll notice the man said, 'That there's not one picture or model of a car in my office." That was unusual because the comment came from El wood Engel, vice president and director of styling at Chrysler Corp. "People probably expect to see cars when they come in here," Engel acknowledged, "But I am trying to show that we appreciate the finer arts." Engel, a tall, lean man of 43 with thinning hair, col lects oriental art. An old re ligious statue from Thialand is prominently displayed be hind his desk. As he showed a visitor a 2,400-year-old Etruscan cup, Engel noted that automotive stylists are "very creative people" and while designing a car is a mechanical chore stylists "are interested in oth er forms of art." Art Show For example, each year the company puts on a private art show with the stipulation that everything displayed will be non-automotive. The men who design the new cars display sculptures and paint ings they have done in their spare time. "Because they are creative people," Engel said, "I give them freedom and don't harp on them every day. When they stay in a certain studio for a couple of years they get the feel of what the Dodge or Plymouth should look like next year, what should come next." Engel said the stylists could design a refrigerator or a toaster as well as a car. He should know, because he worked on jujt such items.

Edmund U. - I'm no good at that light chatter. , . Dorothy U. - Ed is a smart fellow but you'd never know it unless you could follow him around for a few weeks. On a visit or at a party he's Mr. Sphinx himself. Every one tries to come up wun some interesting remarks, but Ed's like one of those Indian Chiefs, only instead of saying "ugh" he squeezes out a "Hmmm." He's not so talkative at any time, I admit, but why docs he freeze completely in a cir cle of people? Edmund U. - I can't keep up with those easy-gab guys. I admire them and I sit around with Dotty, hoping some of that smoothness will rub off on me. But tver since I was a kid, my tongue play ed tricks on me, so I learned to shut up. It was safer. I don't think people mind it as much as Dotty says. They need a good listener in every crowd, and that's nie. This way they all get a chance to talk. And I don't make a fool of myself. Ths Council - Ed reminds us of the fellow, on the spot to make a speech at a retire nient dinner who said, "I'd rather Miy nothing and have you think I'm a nitwit, than open my month and leave no doubt ot it." Some people just dnn'l have the gilt of gab, and It's a Rood thing, too. Their Rifts often lie in the deep-think and deep-feel and steep-work departments. where they can't daizlc their way out with blinding palav er. They Include tl e "strong silent" types whose "ugh" or "hmmm" can make more sense than a spellbinder's hour-long harangue.

But J Ed can be aided to feel more jat ease by il ) placing him ' among people of like back 1 ground and interests with j whom he speaks the "same'' , language; (2.1 by politeness i I and appreciation lor the little j he doer say: and t3.) by gird ! ing him with a few easy stock comments which are always isafc and right i For instance, viewing some- j one's new furniture, Ed. you j can't go wrong saying, "This Is what 1 call a real living 1 room." Or. to the proud par ents of a newborn. "That's a baby." Rather than risk let ting gremlins hobble his tongue, Ed can be ready with noncommittal comments be fore he's on the spot. At an art show, f" example, he won't go wru " commenting. "Hmmm, deconitive." Other satisfying and harmless words would be "dynamic" or "vital." Sometimes a lied-up tongue brings laughs, as when the lady in the candy store want ed fig paste and called to the salesman, "Pig-Faced!" But usually it designates a thoughtful person who has learned that banter isn't his forte. Ed will never have the loose lips that sink ships, but for Dot's sake and to share more of himself with their friends, he might try to be less tight lipped. Each utter ance needn't be meaty. Trans lated, all it need add up to is the two most important words in any land: "Me, friend." Morse To Address Teacher Conference Salem (UPli Sen. W a y n e Morse (D-Ore.) will address an annua! foreign language teachers conference here Sat urday, the Oregon Education department said today. The conference is expected to draw about 200 persons, including teachers from vari ous Oregon high schools Seventy-five per cent of the world's prune crop and from 90 to 95 per cent of America's prune crop Is grown in Cali fornia, the Sanla C'lHra Valley being the largest produced in the world. 1941 when he started a four ycar stint of top-secret map making for the Army corps of engineers. After the war, he joined George Walker in an industrial design business in Detroit and worked on products for the home as well as cars. He followed Walker to Ford Motor Co. and last year took over as chief of Chrys ler's styling studios. Because the industry works two to three years ahead on its new models. Engel made only lim ited changes on the 1963s which were just introduced. It's generally regarded that Engel changed some of the grilles, side trim and tail sections on the new models. He regards the new cars as "more competitive" - meaning they have less of the Italian flavor that characterized the Chrysler products in the past. For 1984, Engel said, "We arc making some darn good changes. I'm very delighted with them." These cars are already designed and tooling orders presumably have been let. So today Engel is concern ing himself for the 1965 models. And, he adds. "It's a diffi cult job to anticipate what people will like in two or three years. We invent a new look and when the cars come out we hope people will like them." But Eng.:l coles that there arc things over which a styl ist has no control. "The econ omy of the country can change people's minds about big car. A lot ot other things can happen from the time we start on a cir until il gels in the showroom. It's big gamble all the way through," he says. The secret, according to Engel, "is designing cars so they are clean-cut and simple, so the majority of people will like them. Simplicity is one of the most important tilings; just get a basic theme, refine il and let it go; anything more and you're in trouble." Old Theater Can Boast Many Claims to Fame By EHWIN GIMMELSBERGER Grein. Austria-flJPli-The old est "Siadttheatcr" (city thea ter) in the German-speaking world is located In this small town on the Danube in Upper Austria. But its antiquity is only part of the little show place's claim to fame. The theater, opened in 1791, is on the second and top floor of the town's an cient courthouse, whose foun dations were laid in 1468. In its 171 years of existence, the theater has changed only in custom;, not in appearance. Heatd Bricks Seldom used for perform ances now, the theater in its heyday seated about 200 per sons, of whom the more pros perous bought lifetime scats. This gave rise to the term "spcrrsitz" (locked scat) as the patron could bar it with a chain and padlock if he wasn't planning to attend the next show. The audience brought its own heating equipment bricki which were heated in a kitchen below the theater and placed on the floor in front of the patron so he could keep his feet warm. The town jail, adjacent to the theater, is located in such a way that an inmate can watch a performance from his cell. The jail is rarely In habited now but in the old days the more numerous in mates created a problem. To keep them from disturbing performances by heckling - a common occurrence the thea ter management .ould order up a meal for them to break the monotony of jail fare. One of the most unique ar rangements in the small thea ter was the placement of the powder room. This was lo cated to the side of the audi torium ant screened off only partially by a curtain, so the good citizens of Grein could watch the' performance under any circumstances. Famous Visitor Legend hrs it that, the Stadttheater's most famous visitor was the Emperor Na poleon, who is said here to have watched a performance in 1809. A new courthouse is sched uled for completion next year, when the building hous ing the theater will become a city art museum. But the town fathers say the curtain still will rise for an occasion al play.

Cost of Living Declines Slightly Washington (UPIU The cost of living declined one tenth of 1 per cent during October, the first decrease since December, 1961, the Department of Labor reported Wednesday, Another slight decline is an ticipated in the November in dex, according to Arnold E. Chase, director of the price division of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The decline, however, is not expected to set a trend. The October drop probably would not have occurred at all, Chase said, if the index had not risen six tenths of 1 per cent in September. That hike was attributed to the national farmers organization's with holding of livestock from the market. The strike was over by October and lower meat prices brought the index down. The index for October stood at 106 per cent of the 1957-59 average. Despite the slight de cline, it was 1.3 per cent high er than a year earlier, mostly because of steady increases in food and services.
