(UPI) Deterrence to War Reason Cited for Operation of Base "Deterrence to war" is the "fundamental reason" why mon ey is being spent to maintain and operate Kingsley Air Force Base near Klamath Falls, Col. Edwin J. Witzenberger, inform ed Medford Kiwanis club mem bers Wednesday. Cnl. Wit7fnherppr. rnmmanrler of the base, addressed the noon luncheon of Kiwanis at Rogue Valley Country Club. His talk was in connection with Air Force Days observance here to day and Saturday. If deterrence does fail, the Air Force officer said, it will be small bases such as Kingsley that the nation will depend on for defense. "So we try to keep ourselves as well trained as we can," he added. Witzenberger reported 1 ,655 military personnel stationed at Kiingsley Field with 161 civil service people employed. He in dicated a monthly payroll of $1.25 million, meaning about $14.8 million per year. Saying that he was no expert on de termining the impact of the Air Force installation on this area, the colonel estimated that 75 to 80 per cent of the payroll is spent in Klamath Falls. The commander reported $1, 607,000 budgeted for purchase and procurement this fiscal year with another $485,000 earmarked for military construction, opera tion and maintenance. This means, he said, about $16.9 mil lion per year total monetary expenditure for the base. "I can t say how much impact this has on the Medford area," he remarked. There are 23 F101 aircraft as signed to the base, the officer reported. He told Kiwanians that it takes just four minutes to get to Medford and six min utes to fly from Klamath Falls to the coast. "Radar coverage here is ex cellent," Witzenberger said. "We have very fine ground en vironment along the Pacific Coast from an air defense stand point." Witzenberger stated that his base feels it has a proud heri tage. He told Kiwanians that the base was named for an Oregon ian, Lt. David Kingsley, B-24 navigator on the Ploesti oil field raid over Rumania in World War II. Kingsley gave his parachute to a gunner and went down with the plane. The Air Force man said that he is "very pleased with com munity relationships that we have in the Klamath Falls area." He commented also that most of the people in his organ ization are "just topnotch." Greg Gill and Jack Roper, transfers, and Dr. A. L. Clay and Richard Travis were new members inducted into the Ki wanis Club Wednesday. Dr. L. Paul Walker, member of the club and Pacific Northwest Dis trict chairman for Kiwanis edu cation, conducted the ceremony.

Uniform Season For Crabs Set Up PORTLAND (UPD-The Ore gon Fish Commission has set a uniform crab fishing season on the coast of Dec. 1 to Aug. 1. The commission also set per sonal use limit of crabs at 12 per day or 24 per week. It also decided to make it il legal to remove backs from crabs before they are landed. Present regulations prohibiting crabbing in triangular areas at entrances to Alsea and Nehalem bays were left unchanged. Daily limits for razor and bay clams also were unchanged ex cept that a possession limit of two daily and limits in any sev en consecutive days was set. A regulation making it illegal to use mechanically - powered and hydraulic equipment for digging claims in inter - tidal areas was adopted. But the commission decided to allow use of such equipment for com mercial digging in sub-t i d a 1 areas by special permit only. nfl4vnn I ii r win m n . . . . ,ii -,4 This we change. This we don't. l963V0LHIWftGN Ot .KC.tM, IRC. Now you con see lor yourself where we make most of Our changes. Woy down deep. Every port you con see (and every pari you can't see) hos been changed again and again od again. But we never chonge the Volkswagen without o reason. And the only reason is to moke it even better. When we do moke a chonge, we try to moke the new port fit older models, too. So you'll find that mony VW parts ore Interchangeable from one year to the next. Which is why it's actuary easier to get parts for a VW thon (or mony domestic cars. And why VW service is as good as it isj The some principle holds good for the beetle shape. We mode the rear window bigger one year so you could see other people better. We made the toil lights bigger lost year so other people could see you better. But nothing drastic. Any Volkswogen hood still fits any VW ever mode. So does any fender. And, in case you hadn't noticed, every VW still looks like every other VW. Which may turn out to be the nicest mmg of all about the cor. It doesn't go in one year and out the other.

Keith Funston, head of the New York Stock Exchange, was among the witnesses scheduled for the ninth day of the Senate Finance Committee's public hearing on President Kennedy's $11 billion tax cut bill. Sen. William Proxmire, D- Wis., loosed another broadside at the measure today. He said the bill, passed by the House Sept. 25 and stalled in the com mittee ever since, contained few reforms and included "at least four new loopholes which previously did not exist. This is pathetic record of tax reform." Organized labor and the American Farm Bureau Feder ation clashed Thursday in tes timony on the measure. Andrew J. Biemiller, legisla tive expert for the AFL-CIO, urged approval of the tax cut to release funds to "help cre ate badly needed jobs." Farm Bureau President Charles B. Shuman sharply criticized the bill as a "siren song which seems to say, 'we can spend without taxing; we can solve without effort'." Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, III., said Thursday he had "real doubts" the bill would pass the present session of Congress. Ritchie Directing Play at Alt.
