TV 6 A THURSDAY. AUGUST 22. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORLGON Pohce Ready' As labor lay Week Eno Hears Delay Possible on Tax Revision Bill MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Seaside, Ore. - (UPD - "If they- come we'll be ready for them." . . Those are the words of Ken Healy, Seaside's new police chief and a veteran of 30 years' experience with state police. Healy's "they" does not mean the thousands who flock to the beaches for summer's last holiday - the Labor Day week end Aug. 30-Sept. 2. It means the young people who might cause trouble, as was the case last year when Seaside grabbed headlines in a way it didn't like - as the scene of rioting broken up by club-swinging police. State police and National Guardsmen were called to this coastal resort town last Labor Day week end when rioting went on for seven hours on Saturday night. Windows were smashed, rocks and beer bottles hurled, street signs uprooted and fire hoses cut. The local jail was overcrowd ed. Police broke up a group of young people on Sunday by use of force. 1 A D3Cf SfUmi ji mi HUGE STURGEON - Boatswain's mate 3c Ray Hauptman displays the dinner he just caught for his mates aboard the attack transport USS Tulare. Hauptman, of Barstow, Calif., was idly fishing off his ship, which is in San Francisco for repairs at China Basin, when the huge sturgeon hit his bait. After almost an hour's struggle, he brought in the 220-pound fish-on 30-pounds test line. Hauptman weighs 150 pounds. The sturgeon measured 7 feet 7 inchehs.

Do you pay for Johnnie s act? Most likely Or suppose you want a loaf of bread for dinner and ask a friend to take your car and get it. On the way to the store, suppose he runs down old Mrs. Higgenbotham. Are you responsible? Again, most like ly, at least in part. Why is this? Didn't you tell everybody to be most careful? In both cases, you got some one to act for you. Under the King Warns of Race Riot in Birmingham Chicago - (Wll - The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said Wednesday there may be "a terrible race riot" in Birming ham, Ala,, unless persons re sponsible for recent bombings are brought to justice. "There have been 48 bomb ings since 1946 and nothing has happened to bring any one before the bar of justice," King said at a news confer ence before a scheduled speech to the National Insur ance association, an organ ization of Negro insurance men. The home of attorney Ar thur Shores was bombed in Birmingham Tuesday night, bringing 2,000 angry, rock hurling Negroes to the scene Shore, a long time court bat tier in Alabama integration cases, guided the admission of two Negroes to the Unl versity of Alabama. "Unless thia bombing is solved it will encourage mob' iters and other to continue the same kind of acts," King said. "I would say that in the ' very near future there could be a terrible race riot in Bir mingham. The thing that concerns me a great deal is that Birming ham has become the center of the greatest history of un solved bombings in the Unit ed States." law, what he did, you did. You were responsible for what he did since he was your "agent." Why does the law make you, as principal, responsible for your agent s acts? Must Trust Agent Well, agents do most of the world's business. And for our affairs to go forward, people must trust your agent as if you yourself acted. "Third parties" - other people doing business with you or your agent-have a right to expect you to stand behind his word. Suppose your agent docs what you told him to do, or even suppose you let third parties think ho is your agent when he is not. Then you may well have to make good on any deal he makes in your name. He is either your agent or your "ostensible agent." This is all the same when it comes to paying the bills, or repairing the damage. Agents For Each Other In most ways partners are agents for each other. What one does can bind the others. One day you and your partner may decide not to buy any thing for more than $100 un less you both sign the con tract.

The trou ble finally stopped after riot ers were herded to the beach area and danced the twist. Some 125 arrests were made. There were verbal threats that "we'll be back." An air of tenseness prevailed during the M?morbi '"'ay and Fourth of July week ends this year. But nothing serious happened. City officials don't expect anything serious to happen over the upcoming holiday either, but they are prepared. Tough new ordinances, which forbid even sleeping on the beach, have been adopted. Heavier penalties are provid ed. There is a larger police force. And, officials say, there have been more arrests here this summer for minors in possession of alcohol than ever before. Slate Has Emergency Plan State authorities are ready, too. H. G. Maison, superin tendent of state police, said there are "no special plans and points out his force can not go into a municipality ex cept on order of the governor. He says trouble is not antici pated but adds "we are not unmindful of the possibility, and we do have emergency plans for all situations." A spokesman for the Ore gon Liquor Control commis sion in Portland said more in spectors wo"" he here to help local law enforcement person nel. The ordinance on rioting says, in part, that . . . any use of force or violence, if accompanied by power of execution by three or more persons, acting together and without authority of law, con stitutes a riot." Beach Sleeping Illegal Another section says no hotel or motel owner shall permit occupancy for lodging purposes of any room by more occupants than there are beds available. And, city law now says it is unlawful for any persons to use any vehicle or trailer for lodging or sleeping purposes on the streets or the beach, or to sleep on the beach. Penalties have been in creased to a maximum of 180 days in jail or a fine of $500, or both. Mayor Pysher said officials have been pleased with the co operation of business people to the new ordinances. Again, officials point out they don't expect a recurrence of last year. But it happened once, and they are ready now. Get the best cooler! y CREAM (jffj Washington - IUPI) - Final action by the House Ways and Means committee on the tax cut and revision bill may be delayed until after Labor Day, congressional sources said today. The committee is expect ed to meet Monday to consid er newly drafted language for a section, tentatively ap proved earlier, imposing high er taxes on heirs of big estates. Informants said there would be no vote on the bill itself that day, and the time table for final action proba bly would be pushed back until after the holiday. The committee last Friday completed all major policy decisions on the bill, one of President Kennedy's top pri ority legislative programs. As tentatively drafted, it would slash individual and corporate income taxes a net $11 bil lion over two years. The panel still must vote on the language of a final draft. DEER VS.

Union Pacific Asks $21,695 Judgment Portland -(UPD- The Union Pacific Railroad Co. has ask ed a judgment of $21,695 from the Vale Irrigation District on grounds that seepage from a canal has harmed the rail road's bed and impaired its performance. In addition, the railroad asked the court to restrain the district from allowing wa ter to seep from the canal above the railroad's branch line at Little Valley, between Vale and Harper. The railroad complained it has had to relocate its tracks. THURSDAY, AUGUST 22. 1963 Norwegians Descendants of Once Fierce Roaming Vikings A 7 By ANNE MARIE PEDERSEN United Press International Oslo -(UPD- Norway is the home of tall, fair-haired and blue-eyed descendants of the fierce Vikings who roamed the seas in search of adven ture and the spoils of war. Today, the Norwegian peo ple are peaceful. But for two centuries, from 850 a.d. to 1050 a.d. the Vikings terror ized France and the British Isles. Norway makes up the west ern part of the Scandinavian peninsula. To the east lies Sweden. To the north is Den mark, where Norway has a common border with both the Finns and the Russians. Also to the north lies the Arctic Sea. The Atlantic Ocean lies to the west, and the North Sea and Denmark are to the south. Because of the Gulf stream, which flows alongside the jagged, 1,646 - mile western coast of Norway, it is possible to grow potatoes north of the polar circle, where about one third of Norway lies and where the mean temperature during the year is about 35.6 degrees fahrenheit. Norway is 1,091 miles long and has an area of 200,704,- 559 square miles. It is about the same size as the state of Montana. It has a population of 3.6 million persons in 20 counties, with a population density of 11 persons per square kilometer. The United States has 19 persons per square kilometer, Sweden has 17, Denmark 106, Britain 215 and Belgium 300. About two - thirds of the Norwegian people live in rural districts. In the capital of Oslo, there are 480,000 in habitants, but only 48 per cent of these were born here. Norway lays claim to the northernmost city in . the 2 Eg world - which was destroyed by the Germans during World War II and was completely re built, was first settled in 1787. The island group of Spltz bergen, which is near the North Pole, is also part of Norway. About 3,000 Nor wegians work in the coal mines there, where the Soviet Union also has mines. At its widest point, Nor way measures 273 miles arid only four miles at its nar rowest point, near the city of Narvik in the north. Sea-Faring People Norwegians always have been a sea-faring people.

Prices Effective Thru Sundey, August 25 way has the third largest, mer chant marine fleet in the world, topped only by the United States and Britain. Oslo has one of the largest harbors in Europe. Every day an average of 10 foreign ships and 65 Norwegian vessels ar rive here. In 1961, 27,500 ships loaded 4.2 million tons of goods and about 360,000 persons left Oslo by ship for other ports. From the earliest days, fish ing has been one of the main stays of the country. Norway ranks sixth in fishing behind Japan, Peru, China, the Soviet Union and the United States. Norwegians have been the pioneers in whaling, but the Japanese and the Russians have taken the lead In recent years. As whaling expeditions become less and less success ful, Norwegian whaling com panies turned more to carry ing oil. The working population ac cording to the last census, in 1960 was 1.4 million. Of these, 320,000 were women. About 24 women out of 100 work in Norway, which has the lowest number of married women working in Europe. Industry Claims Most About 35 per cent of the workers are found in indus try, while 20 per cent live off agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. In northern Norway, there are 20,000 Laps. Only 1,400 of these Nomads who move with their reindeer flocks. Much is now being done to try to preserve their language and culture. There are two official lan guages in Norway. One is in fluenced by Danish and Ger man and is the one used most extensively. The other is a Playing With Matches Causes Eight Fires Salem -IUPI)- Children play ing with matches have caused eight fires during the past month, state forestry of flcials here reported today.

All were small, and controlled. mixture of dialects and its sup- puriers try 10 Dreatne Hie Into "good old" Norwegian words. During the last 10 vaan. suburbs have - sprung ud around Oslo. Today, the ma. jority of the capital's almost nan mutton residents live in the suburbs and pay about 40 per cent of the nation's in come taxes. The old face of Oslo is changing rapidly, with tall, modern office buildings scrap ing the skies. Public transpor tation is mainly by bus or tram (streetcar). A subway is under construction and is ex pected to be in use by 1965. As of Jan. 1, 1963, there were 83,400 automobiles in Oslo. The average for the en tire country is a car for every eight persons. Norway does not manufacture automobiles. Heavy Timbers Said Safer From Fires Chicago-OIPD-Heavy timber buildings are safer from fire damage than structures built with so-called "noncombust ible" materials, reports the National Lumber Manufac turers association. Temperatures inside a burning building can reach 1,700 degrees, often within 10 minutes. But wood beams char to a depth of only one and a half inches after a full hour of that temperature, the organization says, and char ring is usually not sufficient to cause collapse.

If you are a typical non-working wife, you consider these things and non-things necessities today: a car, a baby sitter a TV set, a vacation trip, a dress for a special occasion.' treats for the kids. If you are this married woman spending money that you yourself do not earn, you consider these things and non-things luxuries: a maid, a string of pearls, a hi-fi set, a second car liquor. Assuming you are this non-worklne wife, vmi nslr vmi husband for "his tacit and often exolicit every expenditure." Some of you even ask vnnr h..hj whether it's okay to have your hair done. You do, though, try to build up a private nestcec which you can spend as you wish, for anri nn vn...i j .... likely you conceal the existence of this kitty from your hus band. You create the secret funrl h . un luxury foods or saving little amounts out of your week-to. week household allowance. While you don't work at a Job. vou acrent th. working woman in today's society and approve of her "if uci imiiiiv uuus noi sutler. The fascinating argument about who controls the -family purse in the United States in this affluent (80s) decade of the 20th century goes on and on and the latest to add sense and nonsense to it is a Chicago organisa tion, Social Research, inc.. which has just completed the third in a series of studies on "Women and the Dol lar" for the Public Relations Board. The research firm starts out with the weary statistic that women spend 85 per cent of the family income and then proceeds to demolish It with percentages indicating that while "the American husband may have made the family purse more accessible to his wife, his finger is still on the string." This slippery 85 per cent figure always has been suspect. I started demolishing it myself years ago, and any additional evidence is a contribution to the subject of woman's financial role in America. Social Research's sample covers a small number of women mostly in their 30s livine in the Chlcaao area and spending incomes above the national average. Its unaings arc persuasive, though, and you'll find it fun to see how you fit into the suggested pattern - so here goes. Item: The major financial hunger of the non-working married woman is furniture, while the major male craving is a new car. At all income levels, wives consider this male craving "silly" and a "waste of money." The "wants of women are often in complete opposition to the wants of hus bands." Item: Family discussion of expenditures, even under $25, is the rule in this woman's household and an overwhelming majority consult their husbands on any purchase of $50 or more. Although "women proudly tell us 'I control all the money,' clearly what they mean is they channel it with the understanding and approval of their husbands." Item: A full SI per cent oi married non-working women consider themselves "sensible" money managers, but at the same time their comments about spending (women in every class said "I love to spend money") indicate that, "If 'saving' was a virtue a generation ago, it has clearly lost ground to the national self-indulgence of the 'sensible' woman." Itemi In the lowest income bracket covered by this sur vey - under $6,000 - the big financial worries are paying off the mortgages and unexpected medical expenses - the same worries our folks had generations ago. Older women fret about the possibility of illness. Itemi Not one woman interviewed put a "maid" in the category of a necessity and only 17 per cent voted house hold help as "desirable." On the other hand, 84 per cent voted a baby sitter either necessary or desirable, under lining the fact that, while they are willing to manage the household by themselves, they Insist on time away from the children. Is this "you" or a reasonable facsimile thereof? It well may be, but I'll confess it certainly isn't "me." About the only pattern I fit is that "I love to spend money" too. I 99 'I.
