How Ioiibt hoii It been, do ynu

Here's another allocking Incident
in me newt:
A Cleveland (Ohio) woman tcle-
phoned the police yesterday that
Mic naa leu 11.400 in her old cornet
at a downtown department (tore.
"' She anlfl aha honaht a new eor.
xscl and left the old one AND FOR
GOT THE MONEY 811K HAD
HIDDEN IN IT.
Why l that allocking?
I'll tell you why.
As government geU worser and
worser and fnollshcr. and foollaher
and scrcwballcr and arrcwballer,
Yxo been losing confidence pro
gressively In the men aa practically
Bole oixratora of our governmental
machinery and have been coming
around to the Idea UiM maybe
after all the thing to do la to give
I lie heave-ho to the men and put
women Into the positions of trim!
In our government.
For one thing. I've said to my.
self, they COULDN'T do any worse
than Hie men have done. They
MIOHT do better. In the average
home, you know, the woman Is the
balancer of the budget, Maybe. If
we had enough women on the Job,
they could AND WOULD balance
the budget of the fr.leral govern,
ment of the United States.
It Is thus that my thinking has
been hopefully running.
Then comes till utterly shocking
affair In Cleveland where a woman
slashes all her loose money away
Ui an old corset (Instead of putting
It In the bank) and eventually goes
down town to buy a new one, and
puts the glamorous new one on and
tosses the old one Into the store
waste basket with no thought of
the 1400 slmolcons and goes on her
. wav.
Why, even a man couldn't da any
worse than man
So, you see, there goes the Idea
that Wfc might EASILY AND EF
FORTLESSLY get rid of all our
sAvernmcntal Ills by tho simple
process of heaving the men out and
putting women In In their places
Poofl Just nxe a riiDDer Dm loon
that has been touched by a lighted
cigarette,
I fenr there Is no easy and of
.forties way. If we want better
government, we'll have to get It
he hard way.
What is the hard way?
This Is It:
If we go about It the hard way,
we the people will have to work a
lot harder and more Intelligently
at this business of government than
we've done In the past. The way
to get good government Is to get
good leaders. If were to get tne
kind of leaders we need, we the
people will have to give real and
construct Ivo thought to the candi
dates who como before us socking
our votes, We 11 have lo dispense
with such political luxuries as pre
indien and Intolerance and petty
backbiting gossip and get right
down to the brass tacks of getting
GOOD men to do our Job of gov
erning for us.
WE'LL HAVE TO BE AS PARTI
CULAR ABOUT THE KIND OF
MEN WE'RE WILLING TO VOTE
FOR AS WET) BE ABOUT THE
KIND OF MEN WE'D BE WILL
INO TO HAVE OUR DAUGHTERS

Something like that, I'd say, Is
the hard way. I fear It's about the
ONLY way we'll get really good
government.

The government has been the
sole importer of rubber since Dec.

of the vital defense material in
order to build a stockpile and at
the same time check runaway
prices charged by overseas produc
ers. The Genera Services Adminis
tration announced that the na
tion's stockpile now has reached a
safe enough level to allow a return
to normal purchasing methods.
When the srovernment took over.
rubber - was selling in the world
market at almost 80 cents a pound.
It now is bringing around 38 cents.
Jess Larson, General Services
administrator, said the market is
being returned to private hands
"now that the conditions which im
pelled the government to act as

MUNSAN, Korea W) The Corn
munlsts Saturday accused the Unit-

sacring large numbers" of prison
ers in the U.N. prison camp on
Koje Island.
"Tne latest massacre tuny testi
fies to the brutal inhumanity with
which your side treats our person
nel captured by your side," said
Col. Tsai Chen-Wen.
The Reds had been expected to
Inject into the truce conference
the Monday riot in which 69 Ko
rean civilian internees were killed
and 142 wounded.
In an adlolnlne tent at Panmun-
Jom the Reds accepted the U.N.-
proposed monthly troop rotation
ceiling of 35,000. Previously the
Communists had insisted 30,000
men was sufficient.
CLING TO DEMAND
However, the Reds clung to their
demand that only five ports of en
try on each side be opened to in
spection by neutral teams during
an armistice. The U.N. Allies in
sist on inspection at six entry ports.
Col. Don Darrow said that after
an agreement is reached on norta
of entry "there still are quite a
number of minor items. But they
snouia not present much difficul
ty unless the Communists become
obstinate."
However, the staff officers arent
even discussing the biggest issue

troversy whether the Reds may
build and repair military airfields

Despite the Red protest ovef the

ficials of the United Nations pris

six more Korean civilian internees
had died, raising the death toll in
Monday's Communist-led riot to
7t!, including one American sol
dier. They confirmed that one U.S.
soldier died of a fractured skull
and another was injured critical
ly. The soldiers, part of a guard
were beaten by the prisoners.
Officials said the total of pris
oners injured now stood at 139.
Thirty-nine American soldiers were
treated for wounds and 40 others
suffered minor injuries.
The rioting broke out when 750
members of the "Wolfhound" Reg
iment of the 25th Division moved
into a Communist-dominated com
pound to quiet prisoners who were
hurling insults at non-Communist
prisoners in a nearby compound.
Approximately 1,500 Communist
civilian prisoners fell upon the sol
diers with clubs, iron rods, tent
stakes and flails made of barbed
wire. The soldiers fired in self
defense. Rulings May

Four Air Force men on tnree
day leaves took off from Redmond
yesterday morning at 6:12 for a
flight to Sacramento, where they
all reside.
The four-place Cessna cabin ship .
has not been positively reported
since but reports from persons
here strongly indicate the plane
flew low over Klamath Falls about
9 o'clock yesterday morning.
Several people in the South sub
urban area have reported seeing
a plane flying low in the driving
snow headed In a general south-,
east direction. And a few minutes
after the silver and green plane
was seen here a plane was heard
flying a bit south of the Chet Bar-,
ton ranch in Poe Valley,
i An air search base has been act
up at Municipal Airport here. A
McChord Field Air Rescue Team
arrived here from Tacoma this
morning. The Klamath Air Search
and Rescue Unit, under authoriza
tion of the State Board of Aero
nautics, set up the search base
last night.
RESCUE GEAR
McChord F i e 1 1 dispatched a
snow weasel here on a truck late
yesterday. The weasel is used for
rescue work in rougn terrain or
heavy snow that blocks ordinary
vehicles.
The four men aboard the miss
ing plane were all members of an
Air National Guard unit recently
reactlviated and ordered to Geiger
Field, Spokane. They were en route
home for brief visits.
The four men are: Pvt. Harley
Pallette. Cpl. Ernest Kldwell, Cpl.
Bruce Prinz (all of Sacramento)
and Cpl. James Sims, Fair Oaks.
Pallette was piloting the single
engine plane when the party took
off from Redmond yesterday morn
ing. Apparently the plane carried
no radio or its radio was not work
ing. Civil Aeronautics Authority at
the airport here said no radio
check was received from the plane.
STAYED AT REDMOND
A second chartered plane, car- -rying
five more of the Sacramento
Guardsmen, did not take off from
Redmond yesterday morning due
to mechanical trouble.
Aerial searching today was to
be concentrated first in the Stukel
mountain range.
The missing plane was sliver
with green trim and bore the num
ber NC-1689D.
Anyone who saw a km all cabin
plane answering that description
yesterday should Immediately
phone the information to either the
air search base at the airport,
phone 5580, or to the Herald and
News, 8111 or 8115.
Four KASRU planes took off

morning, and plans called for a
search to be concentrated in the
area around Tennant where a tim
ber faller reported he had heard
a plane about 9:30 a.m. yesterday
