My FRANK JKNKINK
Ai these words are written
'bout mlit-mornlng) there are ac
tual election return Irom New
Hampshire, These return. COULD
be' regarded as startling.
For example:
On the Inco of the lliture no
r reported, EISENHOWER la
LEADING TAFT NEARLY TWO
TO ONE for the Republican nom
ination. On the Democratic aide
tat ao lar reported) Kefauver and
Truman are splitting exactly oven.
. EXCITING, li It not?
Nell a minute I
All of the vote reported from
New Hampshire up to the time
thta I written come from only two
villages Watervllle Valley and
MIIIMIeld. The COMBINED popu
lation of the two la 36 persons.
IU total of the VOTES reported
la II seven for Ike, four lor Tall
and one each lor Truman and Ko
fauver. Everybody In Watervllle Valley
voted for Ike, giving him his total
of seven. EVERYBODY IN MILLS
FIELD voted for Tail, Hiving him
hla four votes. Two Democrats vot
ed In MlllMleld one for Kefauver
and one fur Trumun.
When you put It that way, It
Isn't to exciting.
Anyhow
Mld-momlng of ANY election day
In no time to make predictions or
draw conclusions. The voles are
all due to be counted TOO BOON.
It's better land safer) to wait
until the count la all In.
Willie we're waiting for the final
figures on New Hampshire, let's
fall back on an old stand-by
taxes. 1
In Washington this morning,
T.eon Xeyterllng, chairman of the
President's council of economic ad
visers, conceded that there la such
a thing a a SATURATION POINT
In taxes and further conceded that
the United Slates Is nearlng that
point.
That's Interesting because In the
past Mr. Keyaerltng has leaned to
ward the viewpoint that the more
we spend (and therefore the more
we taxi the better 11 U going to
be for everybody.
His admission came In the course
of a hearing on the Independent
otflQca bill which la a big one. In-
;olvlng a lot of spending and there
ore a lot of. taxing. Representa
tive Phillips asked: "
"Do you believe. Mr. Keyser-
ling, that there la auch a thing as
a saturation point in taxear-
KEY8ERLINO: "I very DEFI
NITELY believe so."
PHILLIPS: "Do you believe we
are APPROACHINO that point?"
KEYSERLINO: "We are cer
tainly approaching the point where
one has to be very careful about
the levying of more taxes."
PHILLIPS: "You would certain
ly think ao, air, IF YOU HAD
BEEN BACK TALKINO TO YOUR
CONSTITUENTS IN THE PAST
THREE MONTHS."
That reminds me of something
Interesting. I was talking the other
day to an able and Intelligent Pa
cific Coast congressman. The sub
ject of economy .In government
cam up. I said to him:
"Are the members of the con
gress (living In the lotus-eater'n
paradlso that la the city of Wash
ington) aware of the fact that the
attitude of the average voter to
ward government spending Is
rhanglng sharply In these days
WHEN taxes art beginning to
BITE?" .
He answered:
"Listen. With surprisingly , few
exceptions, uie members of tins
congress, Republicans and Demo-
."t.lls SIlKe, ARE CONVINCED
THAT IF THEY DON'T MAKE A
FAIRLY GOOD ECONOMY REC
ORD BETWEEN NOW AND AD
JOURNMENT NEXT SUMMER
THEY WON'T BE RE-ELECTED
NEXT FALL."
That, If true. Is Immensely 1m
porlant. II the members of the
congress, botli representatives and
aenalors, really believe that the
only way to be re-elected Is to
V u t government spending, then
CONORE88 WILL CUT OOVERN

But not until then.

Rail Strike
CLEVELAND W A federal
Judge Tuesday ordered three rail
unions to end their strike and to
keep the walkout from spreading
to otner lines.
Judge Emerlch B. Freed granted
a government suit to end Immedi
ately the strike started Sunday
morning against the New York Cen
tral lines west of Buffalo and the
St. Louis terminal line.
He scheduled a hearing for Mar.
19 on the government's request for
a permanent Injunction,
The hearing will start two dava
before the 10-duy temporary Injunc
tion granted Tuesday expires.
Unless the engineers, firemen
and conductors call off their strike,
they are liable to fines and Im
prisonment for contempt of court
"The railroads are part of our
lifeline," Judge Freed declared In
overriding union attorneys' objec
tions to the restraining order, "The
emergency Is so great, and the
crlals so apparent, that this court
must Issue a temporary restrain
ing order.
"Relunal to Issue auch an order
would endanger national security
and cause Irreparable Injury to the
united mates.
The unions' lawyers had argued
the government had not exhausted
procedures under the Railway La
bor Act (See 10). that the court
did not have Jurisdiction, and that
their members are not government
employes,

KLAMATH
lefts Plaster
However, It was hard for Moder
ator Bud Chandler at times to keep
Uie discussion from touching upon
one Inevitable question who Is to
develop the hydroelectric power
latent In the Klamath River, pri
vate enterprise or the federal gov
ernment. That'll have to be ; answered
sometime. , K. .
Members of the panel were John
Boyle, McdfortJ, Copco vice presi
dent and general manager: A. N.
Murray, Sacramento, regional Bu
reau of Reclamation planning en
gineer; ' E. L. Stephens, local
USBR torolect manager: Llovd
.Gift, Langcll Valley rancher: Tom
Horn, Tulclake wildlife Refuge
manager; Charles Strkklln, Ore
gon state engineer; ana rranx
Jenkins, Herald and News publish
er. An announcement by the Bureau
of Reclamation yesterday that the
Bureau is studying the feasibility
of public development of power
down the Klamath Rtyer canyon
served to put what apparently has
the makings oi a - private -enterprise-public
works conflict- very
much into the minds of listeners
to the program.
Copco announced several months
ago its plana lor power develop
ment along the river, and has li
cense applications pending before
the Federal Power Commission and
State Hydroelectric Commission.
The Klamath potentially Is one
of the greatest power streams on
the West Coast, and It seems that
eventually a great power develop
ment, will be Installed - between
Keno and Copco Lake.
Boyle, representing Copco on the
radio forum, declared that as far
as he could see the Bureau power
plan is the same as that of his
company, and that if the Bureau
develops hydroelectric power on
the Klamath. Copco won t. Like
wise, rejoined Murray of the Bu
reau. If Copco does It the Bureau
von't.
The same suspicion that lias
marked earlier farmer protests
against Copco's plan for further
power development the suspicion
that Copco's water right to 1,350
second leet of the river flow .13
hours a day might seriously cur
tail the supply of water available
lor further Irrigation cropped up
again. Boyle declared that all wa
ter rights would be protected if his
company gets its license to con
struct. . - .
Some of the basic facts of water
utilization brought out were:
Stephens Construction costs on
the Klamath USBR project since
1905 have come to about $14,000,000.
about half of the value of crops
grown on project land in 1951.
Murray The average yearly In
flow of water Into Upper Klamath
Lake Is. a million and a quarter
acre feet, and at present it can't
be stored entirely. The Bureau is
considering further storage sits on
the Sprague and . other streams.
Horn-'-Tule and Lower Klamath
are keys to the management of an
international resource, the Pacific
migratory waterfowl fly way . It is
the. tiny waist of an hourglass
which has the great nesting areas
of the Northwest at ine top ana
the great wintering grounds of Cal
ifornia, Mexico and South America
at the bottom.-The refuge is over
loaded. Gift Water can be used over
and over again in Irrigation as It
moves from high ground to lower
ground. On his ranch it Is used
lour times. .
Stephens The Bureau also uses
irrigation water over- and over
again, until only about one-sixth
or one-seventh of the water di
verted trom Upper Klamath Lake
can eventually find Its way back
into the Klamath River, with fur
ther enlargement of -the Lower
Klamath Refuge. About 4.25 acre
feet per acre irrigated turned into
the canal. About 2.5 to 3 acre feet
Is put onto land. i
Murray Irrigation on- the Klam
ath project now is something more
than 200,000 acres. There is in ex
cess of 500,000 acres of irrigable
land In the upper -Klamath Basin.

Supply Base
Turned Into
Fiery Hell
By SAM 8UMMERLIN
SEOUL, Korea UH American
Jet pilots turned a huge camou
flaged Red supply base into blazing
ruins Tuesday in the most Intense
attack of the Korean war with
flaming Jellied gasoline.
Flames spread over a four
square mile area of . the supply
depot.
"It looked like hell Haelf." said
some of the pilots, who flew a
total of 250 sorties In waves.
Swarms of Red jets streaked
down from Manchuria to try to pro
tect the base near 81nmak, 30 miles
northwest of the truce village,
Panmunjom. '
U.S. Sabre jet pilots shot' down
three MIGs in air battles, prob
ably destroyed another and dam
aged five.
That boosted Red planes KO'd
to 19 in two days. The Air Force
reported seven MIOs downed and
three damaged Monday. U.8.
losses, if any, are reported only
weekly..
TURN LOOSE: ;
F-80 Shooting Stars attacked the
western- supply depot, camou
flaged so it ''looked like an inno
cent farming Tillage." Pilots said
they could see it was a fake,, Then
they let loose. -" Jt
They .rjoured''33t300gallonS - of
searing napalm j e 1 1 i e a gasoline
on the area, blasted it with 300,000
pounds of explosives, and raked
it with 45.000 machine irun bullets.
They attacked through a curtain
of antiaircraft fire. The shooting
stars unloaded their bombs, roared
back to base and -came back with
new loads.
Pilots said they demolished at
least 33 Red antiaircraft positions
but lost count of the number of
installations and Red troops de
stroyed; The U.S. Fifth Air Force said
they still were attacking the flam
ing area at nightfall. The entire
Eighth Fighter-Bomber Wing aided
in the record strike. Lt. Col. Levi
R. Chase of Courtland, N. Y., said
every officer and man in the outfit
was loading or living.
Majors and colonels were on the
air strip helping load the Jets with
napalm, bombs a n d-bullets, and
refueling them lor renewea at
tacks. . ..
NOT MUCH LEFT
There isnt much of anything
left of that place," one pilot said.
: When tne jets iirst new over ine
base, they saw- "stacks of boxes
covered with straw roofs," said
Capt. Van J. Kreft of Altadena,
Clif. "They had no sides and the
supplies were plainly visible as -we
went in." - - -
'. There were many close calls as
the-F-80s pushed their -attack
throueh heavy flak.

feet on the Jet flown oy lit. William

"I was about ready to give up
when I got down to 500 feet too

was sheer will power that made
