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.
Jackson County
To Gel $11247
From Boat Fees
Disbursement of over one
quarter million dollars to 36
county courts in Oregon,, in
cluding $11,247 to Jackson Coun
ty, has been authorized by the
Oregon State Marine' Board.
This is the sixth disbursement
made by the board to the coun

in January, 1960.
There are 1,956 boats regis
tered in Jackson County, ac
cording to the Marine Board's
report. There are 44,445 regis
tered in the state.
The disbursements to the
counties are based upon the
certificates of number that were
on file Oct. 1.
From the proceeds of fees
paid by boaters, the Marine
Board pays the cost of adminis
tration and the "tithe" to the
general fund, which is remitted
to the state treasurer.
The balance is then returned
to the respective county's gen
eral fund and is based upon the
number of boats registered with
the board from the county. The

is $255,558.75.

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.

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.

Stock Exchange
Head To Testify
WASHINGTON (UPI) - G.
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.

Benson's action was promptly
masted in a House speech by
Rep. Ralph R. Harding, D-Ida-
pointed Head of European Mission
A 3
ho, who also is a church mem
ber. He charged that Benson
declined to defend former Pres
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower
against a statement by Welch
that he (Eisenhower) was a
"dedicated conscious agent of
the Communist conspiracy."
Benson declined to comment
on Harding's speech. However,
Benson's son issued a slatement
which claimed that Benson had
received permission from Mc
Kay to make the Los Angeles
talk.
There was no announcement
on how long Benson would be
in his new post. Overseas ap
pointments normally are for at
least two years.
