Heading south on the Alturas
road there to one spot that always
means a stop, Thats Jim Hamil
ton's Timber Mountain Inn, Just
cross the highway from Perea.
You can spend countless hours in
the place Just looking -over Jim's
collection of antique music boxes.
He's made a hobby of gathering
In the old relics for years and
years. Not only that but he re
pairs them himself, makes ijarts
when necessary and keeps them In
good running order.
The one that particularly fascin
ates me Is the Violano Virtuoso,
made by the Mills Novelty Com
pany way back In the late 1800 s.
Jim put a sign on this one that
reads "the man who built this
machine spent twenty years per
fecting it and then went to the
Insane asylum." And after looking
at the machine you can see why.
It is a big box with a regular violin
lixed In the center. The bow Is
composed of rosined rubber rollers
which touch the string from above,
the tremolo Is supplied by a vibra
tor at the end, the tuning is done
by means of weights suspended at
the end of the instrument. It plays
ftva different melodiesayind is real
ly worth the drive down Just to
see and hear. He has two of 'em,
both made by the Mills people, one
older than the other and not quite
so fancy: (The Mills outfit switched
from music boxes to slot machines
a while ago and now that that bus
iness is on the skids are engaged
In electronics of some sort.)
If the place is quiet and there
aren't too many customers maybe
Jim will haul out his singing can
ary for you. This gadget, made
over a hundred years ago. Is com
prised of a mounted canary on a
perch Inside the cage. He turns
his head, opens his beak, flirts his
tail and sing a typical canary

thing was mechanical you might be
Since the Marshall Plan was born
in 1947, it and its. successor pro
grams have been an annual target
lor alleged congressional "econo
mizers." It is therefore nothing
new that this has happened again
in 1952.
In the current instance, the ad-
ministration asked for $7.9 billion
for foreign military and economic
aid in the year starting jiuy i
House and Senate committees re
duced this total by $1 billion, a not
unreasonable gesture In the iigni
of past experience with the pro
gram. . This was not enough to satisfy
foreign aid critics in the House,
however, and they proceeded to
hack another $726 million off the
figure, bringing It below $6.2
' billion.
Among the so -called economy
bloc on this issue axe numerous
lawmakers who make no pretense
of their distaste for any foreign aid
at all. There are others who feel
. the same but haven't the courage
to say so and thus give lip serv
ice to the program while voting to
cut it severely.
: A more important group than
cither of these is comprised of men
who seem sincerely to understand
the need for foreign aid yet still

are convinced there Is no harm in
drastic cuts.
VANDENBERG
The late Senator Vandenberg,
who labored so valiantly for the
Marshall Plan in its beginnings,
likened this approach to that of
tossing a 15-foot rope to a man
drowning 30 feet off shore.
The weakness of these sincere
economizers is that they have lit
tle but their own opinions to offer
in support of these sharp reduc
tions. They find it quite easy to
state arbitrarily that the move
"will in no way endanger the se
curity of this country." That is
pretty confident talk for men who
have so sngnt a foundation oi evi
dence to back them up.
ine Kr&uiiiuuy oi uie incii uu
scene, the men most deeply con
cerned with executing foreign aid
programs and observing their ef
fect upon our own ana our aiues
future, almost unanimously falls in
the other direction. They declare
there would indeed be danger in
too severe cuts.
Certainly few programs present
ed to Congress are immune to rea
sonable reductions. The foreign aid
bills always have been trimmed,
and probably it was rignt that the-
were. But the exercise r( prudence
is a far cry from license to slash
program to pieces.
BLINDNESS
The blunt truth is that most ol
the economizers, Including the sin
cere ones, are acting from ignor
ance, or Indifference to uncomfor
table facts. They make up their
minds to cut, and that is that.
In their powerful compulsion to
reduce this program an urge
which never seems to seize them
when flood control outlays and
other home district matters come
up they blind themselves to the
security risks. They dismiss them
bystatlng flatly that they do not
exist. But their saying It doesn't
make it so.
In most cases, the primary rule
of security is to provide a margin
of safety, to buttress your strength
with than you need, to err on Uie
"up" side. What strange argument
it is that tells ut we can do Just
tne opposite and feel perlectly sale.
wnat eltrontery there is in provin
ciai lawmakers assuring us
have nothing to fear.
There may indeed be less danger
of war than some of our experts
imagine. But the average Ameri
can wants assurance of that from
people whose guesses are Informed,
not from men who accept only the
facts which support their opinions.

Where does all that dough go?
Let us take a typical case Dorothy
Shay, the "Park Avenue Hillbillie."
Her robust songs have made her
a queen of the supper club cir
cuit, at $5,000 a week and higher.
These high-priced chanteuses,
however, are like racehorses. They
don't perform for the customers
each and every week. How many
Kentucky Derbys are there In a
year?
Last year Dorothy, who Is a good
business girl, asked her accountant
to estimate the minimum income
she would require for 1951. His
figure: $81,000.
Of this business expenses and
taxes came to $65,625. They in

in a series of articles on Klam
ath Comity's Civilian Defense
Program, its purposes and its op
eration, based on information
supplied by Margaret Santo, di
rector of publicity and educa
tion.) By MALCOLM EPLEY JR.
Among a volunteer defense army
of over 20,000,000 (Mi people scat
tered across the United States are
3.000 Klamath County citizens who
are being organized and are work
ing quietly and rapidly to ready for

However. LaClalr is the first to
point out that lots more volunteers
will be needed before his county
wide organization can be com
pleted. He's backed by a panel of ambi
tious deputy directors, each one
leading an important division.
Twelve of them have been named
so far, and In many cases work
and organization has been going on
for several months.

$3,600: traveling expenses. $12,150;

etc.
Subtracting $65,635 from $81,000.
Dorothy found she had $15,375 for
living and personal expenses.
That seems a cozy sum for a
single girl, but household costs
such as $1,200 for domestics. $1,500
for food, $1,500 for rent ate up
$5,720.
That left her $9,655. But she had
to figure Into this $600 for depend
ents and gifts. $3,560 for life In
surance premiums, $1,500 for med
ical expenses, $1,200 for personul
wardrobe and laundry, $1,265 for
miscellaneous expenses and $1,200
for non-deductible business expens
es. AIX HERS
The result, according to Dorothy,
was that she had the grand sum
of $330 left to save or do with as
she wished.
Rising prices, she feels, have
made the $81,000 estimate Inade
quate for the demands of 1953.
"How can I get by with only
$1,500 for food?' asked Dorothy, a
strong healthy girl who likes steak
once a day. "And where today can
you find a domestic who will work
for $1,200"
There Is only one answer to
sing more often.
"The least I can afford to make
in 1952 is $100,000." Dorothy said
glumly.
It takes a lot of money to make
money these days.

LaClalr said, "is going to be ready

themselves to prepare right now

"They can arise right within a

"Civil Defense Is our home and
our backyard," the chairman said,
"and It's consequently our job." He
called It a fourth arm of national
defense, and with an adequate pro
cram he felt Klamath people would
have confldance to face anything
that might come before them.

Buss Blockade
NEW YORK m The man who
broke the Soviet blockade of Berlin
with the historic airlift of 1043-49
says the West can whip another
one, if and when the Russians Im
pose It.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, former U
S. military governor of Germmy,
noted tne soviet union is -making
menacing gestures In Germany
but he does not believe they are
ready to make war.
"It Is always possible that 'hey
would push us more than we would
take, but I doubt that," he said.
"I think war will come only if the
8ovlets are ready for war. I doubt
very much that they think they
can win such a war now. if they
had wanted a war and were pre
pared for it, we would have had
it in 1947."
Clay left Germany In 1949 after
directing the airlift which dealt
tne tsoviet union a migmy psycho
logical blow. He is chairman of the
Continental Can Co. He also heads
the privately operated Crusade
for Freedom which supports Radio
Free Europe's broadcasts.
