PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON TUESDAY, NOV. 1, 194f IIST Signs Compromise Farm Bill; Mum About Defeated Brannan Idea WA8HINOTON. Nor. 1 Wv-Th compromise (arm bill of tht gist miiH became Iht U of tht Und today for at least ont production President Truman put nil slgneture on the measure late yesterday. R thereby teased th so-called Aisen law of th republicans' Oth wilim Into th wastebesset brforc It had a chanr to 10 Into effect. But th new meaaure which permit continuation of farm price upooru at or near wartime lercls -was not necessarily assured of a long lift span. To th surprise of aom political and farm circle, th preaidrnt made no statement In connection With th alcning. Peraom In the quarter had ex pected him to uc th occasion to ay tn effect that th new law U bitter than th OOP measure, but that h (tin wanted he so-called Brannan plan. Those cloa to Secretary of Api culture Brannan said they felt sure Truman Is as much In faror of th Brannan proposal as ever. Th president has gtiren It warm en dorsement on sereral occasions. "If there has been any chance In the White House attitude, we haven't been Informed these offi cials said. "We feel certain that we would hare been told If there were. 8UU Dissatisfied A "no chance" attitude would mean that Truman is still intent on making th Brannan plan a major issue in next year's congres sional campaigns for both the farm and consumer rote. Th new law is not too far from price support recommendations of th Brannan proposal. It would per mit price supports more nearly in nn with the Brannan proposal than would th Aiken law. The big point of difference is the way th various measures would handle surpluses of perishable prod ucts, chiefly meats, dairy and poul try products, fruits and vegetables. Tn Brannan plan would allow prices of these products to seek their natural levels. If prices fell below a pre-determlned "fair level for producers, the latter would get government payments making up th difference. Th new law like the Aiken . measure does not permit this. In stead tt requires the government to maintain prices at support levels by removing surpluses from the market by means of government purchase or loans to producers. Trie Break' Both Truman and his secretary of agriculture have said th Bran nan plan would give consumers a "price break' on surpluses which ' they cannot get under the present ' method. Brannan aides said they expect ' th new law like the one It sup plants to provide "silent" argu ments for the Brannan plan next year. - . They exDlained that the new lavr Is expected to result in aocumula- tion of hundreds of millions of dol lars worth of agricultural surpluses In government hands. The government already is fore- Local Group Attends Camp Fire Meeting Seven representatives of the Klamath Falls council of Camo Fire Girls attended the national confer ence of Camp Fire Olrls held in roruana last week.

Congressmen To Survey Graze Problem LAKEVIEW A subcommittee of th house committee on public lands will hold a hearing In AKuraa com mencing November g In connection with th proposal of the forest serv ice to cut grating permits on th Modoc national forest on the r'dt between the Ooos last and Sur prise valleys, according (o an nouncement of Rep.

All of th permit In question hsve heretofore been cut approximately SO per cent In past years. Protest According to the protest filed by the stockmen, the Modoc forest Is the No. 1 producer of grass in the entire sut of California, and I currently selling more grass thsn timber: yet th forest service does not have a rang improvement pro gram under way tn the county nor does tt have plans for the sres from which stock is to be excluded. Th stockmen contend thst a "do noth ing policy in an area where there hat been upwards of 110 ono per year available for range Improve ments a fieure the stockmen will match if the facta require is. a in- best answer to the proposed cuts. The stockmen have currently been circulating in Modoc county enlarged photos of th s.s.uw rsnge improvement program car ried on by the Fremont national forest tn Lake county, the past four rears with funds supplied by both the federal government and the per mittees.

One iorai nousewue was met at the door last night by a graduated trio lined up on the step. In a courteous but hurried vole the oldest said "I m sorry but w don't hav time lo ak for trick or treat, we're in an awful hurry. Blie i pointing to a tiny tot of threet has to go to the potty." So the woman Invited them In where she offered not only th hospitality of the house but ren dered maid service to the small damsel In distress. Seems Ilk Ihry stsrt them off early these days. JJ.OW thst Klamath Falls seems to b going ahead with civic work and progress is on every hand, why not do something about our horse and buggy traffic? Main street travel, by car, is probably as slow ment as th Fremont forest If the Modoc executives cared to us lu Th stockmen hav offered a re ward lo anyone who can duplicate the Oregon pictures on the Califor nla side of the line in Modoc county.

Whn you enter on end of Main and at tempt to mak It through any time during fairly heavy trafflo you ci rep and crawl, Jerk and Jar, start and stop until by Iht Unit you reach your destination you aren't In any fit than to do anything. It seems obvious that a simple remedy Is at least In sight to al leviate this situation. Why not ian the Intersections for right hand turns and straight through trafllc? About half th driver com lo an Intersection with a right hand turn ir mind. But. Instead of getting over In th right hand Ian or aid ol th street they split th traffic lanes, then swing across th half Ian to th right In making a turn. Cars behind his urban road hog art tied up until the or make it's ungainly swing and clears th street. Stop and go lights are aet at It second Intervals. Th walk and wait signal use up the first seven sec onds of this lime lesvlng only about eight seconds for a car to turn. It Uses a driver nearly that to nego tiate a full turn. Result: on car get through the lights In tarh 11 second period. That Is not always true, of course. Msny times traffic la smooth and speedy. But It Is th times you don't hit it right that makes you mad. If even th last M feet of each block were to be mark ed with yellow lines for lanes, so that drivers wanting to mak a right hand turn would be in th proper spot and thus clear th street for through travel It would teem that would aav a lot lit Cm for (vtryuu runrernrd.
