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.

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

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.

Dorothy U. - He sits around
like a mope.
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. We need
them to clear away the hot
air
Being a . dud s.icislly isn't
the worst calamity. Dot. 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."

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.
