Reserve, iney re ime potato grow

.Potatoes is politics.
Our potato representatives. Scott
Warren and Louis Lyon, went oack
to Washington armed with potato
marketing nisiory, costs ol proauc
ing spuds and other pertinent data,
and on the basis of it asked for a
fair pitch,
what happened? The 39 cent pen
alty (the denial of the historic
open market 19c. premium for Ba
sin spuds plus the arbitrary 20 cent
r.remium to Idaho) has had another
20 cents added to it. So now the
penalty on Basin growers is 59
cents per hundred.
What they should have done is
thrown away all their data on po
tatoes and substituted affidavits
that Klamath County favored Harry
S. Truman over Thomas E. Dewey
by vote of 7620 to 6953 on the first
Tuesday of November in 1948.
If THAT wouldn't call for a "dts--aster
adjustment" I ?don't know
what wouldl "'is.' -: .,
Of course, this colyum will have
to confess to just as stupid a blun
der. After the Klamath Basin Potato
Festival last fall we "took in" the
Deschutes-Central Oregon potato
section as the North Suburban
Area of the Klamath Basin.

NEW YORK IX) What is a Jun
ior Executive?
You hear more and more about
this character. But he seems to me
a pretty mysterious and will-o'-the-wisp
fellow, and I am not sure he
really exists at all.
I am beginning to think he is
just a figment of somebody's
imagination.
No one can tell me for sure what
Junior Executive really is, be
cause nobody ever seems to have
met one in the flesh.
Go up to anyone you know who
works in an office for a living and
ask, "are you a Junior Execu
tive?" He may flush with embarrassed
pleasure or turn upon you in cold
anger, but he is certain to answer,
"who, me? of course hot."
Everybody has heard of Junior
Executives, but nobody will admit
he is one. That's why I don't think
there really are any.
Opinion varies as to just what
a Junior Executive is. Some people
think of him as a fine clean modest
alert young man who has climbed
the first rung of the ladder of suc
cess. Others see him as merely a
J'oung stuffed shirt, a petty officer
tyrant who tries to get ahead by
aping the real executives.
That's part of the mystery of the
Junior , Executive he's anything
you want to believe he is: a would
be boss In rompers, or industry's
new type Horatio Alger.
And nobody seems to know for
sure Just what his job is except
to sit around and wait for the Sen
ior Executive to drop dead.
The clearest picture of these new
toy tycoons of the business world
is given in the magazine ads.
You see two fine old Senior
Executives discussing a busy young
man seated at a desk in the back
ground. ! One says, "I've got Bill there in
mind for a top management Job.
He came to me and suggested,
'let's switch to using Blotto type
. writer ribbons.' Well, I did as he
suggested, and that's why our bus
iness tripled last month. Keep your
eye on Bill."
This romantic vision of the Jun
ior Executive as a bright young
man with simple, but overwhelm
ingly successful ideas is becoming
more and more popular.

Even motor car models are now

about two thousand words and was
accompanied by a note saying that

It seems that the wish to blast

never taken further than that. I'd

Frank Tucker, the Chamber of
Commerce man, said we missed
the deeo significance behind the
city's move to get in the adver

ters.
Frank said a lot of Deople have
deplored the need for cluttering up
the town with ad gadgets on the
meters, but that that's not the im
portant thing.
The fact that the federal govern
ment not only has skimmed off all
the tax money cream but has taken
most of the milk too leaving a
municipality in the position of hav
ing to scramble in a marble game
to meet operating costs is some
thing to think about.

legend will someday become a re
ality. Sooner or later there will be
created an actual live Junior Exec
utive. And I predict he will meet disas
ter by trying to live un to the rosy
legend. It will happen like this:
He will marry an expensive Jun
ior Executive wife, make a $5,000
Junior Executive bank loan, and
with it buy a Junior Executive suit
and put up the down payments on
a Junior Executive type house and
a Junior Executive model car. .
Unable to live on a Junior Exec
utive salary, he will go up to the
boss and say, "why don't we switch
to Blotto typewriter ribbons? It'll
triple business."
Well, the boss will switch to
Blotto typewriter ribbons and in
three weeks the firm will be bank
rupt, because nobody really can
read letters written with Blotto
typewriter ribbons.
The Junior Executive will be
tossed out of his swivel chair, and
he will lose his wife, his home and
his car, and be forced to pawn
his suit.
That's the danger of being a real
life Junior Executive. One lousy
idea and you're just the man in
the street again.
Army Cuts
Mac's Staff
NEW YORK IB An aide to
Gen. Douglas MacArthur says the
former Far Eastern commander
has been forced to cut five mem
bers from his eight-man personal
staff. The Army, says the reduction
is routine.
MacArthur's aide. Col. Laurence
E. Bunker, said Friday nlRht that
orders from Army Secretary Frank
Pace Jr. came through Feb. 12 di
recting that the five be transferred
within 60 days.
Bunker added that, in addition
to the five, the resignation last
month of Lt. Col. Anthony Story,
the general's former pilot, also was
forced.
In Washington, the Army said
the staff reductions hod been made
in line with treatment accorded to
other five-star generals who like
MacArthur were not assigned to
any specific duly.
. MacArthur had no comment on
the matter, but Bunker told news
men In New York that his chief
did not agree to the reduction al
though he obeyed the order.

The stockpiling of vital strategic
materials as a aeiense precaution
is an accepted part of this coun
try's program of nreoarednrss
Now government officials are work
ing on a new plan that seems to
have at least equal merit: the
building of a reserve of tools,
presses, special furnaces and other
heavy industrial equipment.
unoer me plan, a live-member
commission with about $3 billion
to spend over a four-year period
would shop around to accumulate
this stockpile of critical machine
tools. The equipment purchased
would be stored in warehouses
not Installed In plants. It would be
protected against rust and other
deterioration.
According to the Wall Street
Journal, which first disclosed the
plan, matters would, not end there.
The buying commission would con
stantly review its inventory, weed
ing out ODsoieie tools ana buying
new ones more adapted to the
latest weapons.
There are two big arguments for
the program. The most Important
is that a tool stockDile. added to
already existing or projected indus
trial facilities, would give the Unit
ed States about 80 percent of the
equipment it would need to fight
an all-out war.
TOOLS '
Should war come, only 20 percent
of the nation's equipment needs
would have to be supplied by last
minute ordering. These would be
mostly the tools that are subject
to lots of changes to fit specifica
tions of particular weapons.
rnus industry could concentrate
on these emergency Jobs rather
than turning out large' numbers of
the standard tools which are inev
itably required in great volume
when war production bits full scale.
The bottlenecks which plague a na
tion converting to war would be
reduced to a minimum.
There s a very close relation be
tween availability of machine tools
and top production, of course. And
it takes a good while to reach
production peaks after the tools
are in hand.
Heart Association Aid Makes
A Better Life
By WADE JONES
Medical authorities estimate that
about 10 million people in the Unit
ed States have some form of heart
disease. Illnesses of the heart and
circulation are our leading cause
oi aeatn.
Such obvious facts certainly are
enough to establish the enormity
of the purely medical aspects of the
disease. Less oovious ana mucn
less understood, however, are the
social aspect.
What place is the cardiac to
have in society? Can he hold a
job? Can he earn a living?
Doctors say that people with
heart disease are generally better
off working than worrying, provid
ing the work ls not beyond their
physical capacities.
In fact, according to latest infor
mation, a suitable Job may actual
ly improve the cardiac's condition
not make it worse.
The cardiac has his limitations,
of course. He can't do heavy work,
he can't move fast for extended
periods of time, and he shouldn't
climb steps unless he can do so
slowly and without carrying a
heavy load.
But these limitations are some
times misunderstood. For Instance,
some believe that workmen's com
pensation rates go up when car
diacs are hired.
According to the American Heart
Association the rates do not in
crease when the condition of the
handicapped worker is known, be
cause he can then be placed in a
suitable Job.
At least one extensive survey
has shown that cardiacs In 50 dif
ferent industries more than held
their own in competition with un-
handicapped workers doing the
same jobs.
With most other results about
even, the survey showed the car
diacs actually produced 2.4 per cent
more than the unimpaired workers.
Apparently they produce moro to
prove their worth In industry.
All tne facts are not in on tne
case of tne cardiacs. More must
be known about the energy required
to do certain tasks and run cer

In World War II. the nation's
war output reached Its highest lev
el one year after the peine In ma
chine tool output. This time the
machine tool makers expect to hit
the top this summer. Actual pro
duction isn't figured to attain the
maximum until at least nine
months later.
With assurances that full produc
tion could be rapidly attained, the
aeiense establishment would not
need to keep so large a number of
tanks, planes and guns on had in
case of war. They would not have
to figure on a long lag before new
war equipment would be available.
DOUBLE VALUE
This has a double value. It
means we would not be so saddled
with so much equipment that might
prove obsolete by the time actual
combat began. And It means that
a safe minimum defense could be
had at much lower cost to the tax
payer. For tools and other facil
ities would not be as expensive as
a big backlog of tnnks. planes and
guns. When war came, we would
get brand-new equipment fast.
The second argument for the
plan is that it would go far to
ward solving the basic problem of
the machine tool industry. As now
operated, it is a feast or famine
proposition. It booms in times of
military preparedness, and lan
guishes in normal peacetime.
If the industry is to be "healthy"
and its health would seem to be
crucial to the future of any nation
dependent for safety on today's
costly and complex weapons, then
it must have more stability. And
the steady accumulation of a tool
stockpile is a sensible means of
providing that steadiness.
' The admitted risk of loss through
obsolescence of tools in the stock
pile appears relatively minor when
set against the huge advantages tn
safety and economy which the pro
gram promises. The plan merits
the fullest study by Congress and
all others Interested in giving
America security without causing
lasting harm to its economic foun
dations. for Cardiacs
tain machines. Better tests must
be developed to determine the in
dividual's ability to work.
Behind the efforts to determine
these tilings is the American Heart
Association. The goal of its an
nual national campaign being held
this month is $8 million.
In addition to your dollars you
can make n valuable contribution
by making an attempt to under
stand the many problems presented
by heart disease.
Such a contribution on your part
can make "New Hope for Hearts"
more than just a fund campaign
slogan.

on
Canasta
"In one of our regular afternoon
games," writes a New York cor
respondent, "one of the players
put down an Initial meld consist
lug of K-K-K-2 and 4-4-3. She then
discurded, whereupon everybody
pointed out that her meld counted
only 80 points instead of tho 90
points that she actually needed.
"The next pluycr asked: Do you
hove another deuce In your hand?'
The meldcr looked at her hand and
said: 'Maybe I have a deuce and
maybe I don't.' She then picked up
the curds that she had melded and
announced that she had made an
insufficient meld.
"The penalty was Unit she or her
partner would have to meld 100
points (instead of only 90) as an
initial meld in that hand.
"This caused quite a fuss. It was
clear thut she did actually have
another deuce in her hand, so that
she could have made her meld suf
ficient by adding that deuce to the
kings or to the fours.
"She claimed she had the right
to pick up the cards instead ol
making the meld sufficient. The op
ponents claimed that she was sup
posed to make the meld sufficient
if she possibly could.
"Who is right?"
The lady was perfectly within her
rights in picking up the cards. The
laws very cleurly slate that a play
er in this situation "mav correct
the Irregularity by melding addi
tional cards from his hand" or
"may return to his hond tho cards
put down In error."
When this law was written, we
very carefully used the word
"may" rather than - the word
"must. We wanted to allow a
choice In this situation.
It is quite true that Ihe offender
sometimes gains an advantage by
putting down an insufficient meld
and then picking up the cards. Her
partner kows Just what to save
for use later on. But sometimes
the Insufficient meld puts the of
fender at a great disadvantage.
The penalty of having to meld an
additional 10 points may be a se
vere handicap.
The laws commission assumed
that honest players would very sel
dom make this kind of mistake
certainly nover deliberately. The
purpose of the law, therefore. Is to
correct the error without undue
severity. Hence the offender Is al
lowed to choose freely whether or
not to make the meld sufficient.
"What method of scorlne do vou
use in a Canasta tournament or in
a progressive game?" several cor
respondents have asked.
The best method I know of Is to
start each round with a score of
1400 for both sides. In this wav.
both sides start with a required
count of 50 points. As the round
gees on. howevtr, they go un to
u ana izu points very rapidly.
A round usually lasts a set time.
rather than a set number of hands.
When time Is culled, everybody
gets one more chance to play, and
then the hand Is scored even
though perhaps nobody has melded
out.
At the end of each round, the
.icore of each side Is counted In
the usual way. Then the score of
the lowerpalr is substractcd from
the score of the winning pair. The
winners take the difference as a
plus; and the losers take the dif
ference as a minus.
For example, suppose the Smith
have 4500 and the Browns have
3890 at the end of a round. The
difference between the two scores
is 610 points. The Smiths write
plus 810 for their score; the Brown
write down minus 610 points.
I At the end of the evening (or
laltcrnoon) the score for all the
rounds is added up. You add up
all the plus scores and subtract
the total of all the minus scores.
The pulr with the largest net toal
is the winner.
It's a good idea to limit the
score during any one round. You
can't win more than 2500 points
no matter what the actual differ
ence happens to be. The losers
carry forward, the actual differ
ence ns a minus, the tho winners
get only 2500 points.
For example, suppose the Smiths
have 4500 points, and the Browns
have only 1600 points. Tho true
difference is 2000 points. The
