At Ilii annual convention In Be utile. Klwnnh Internallnnal writes Into Its recordii a hard-lulling reoo lulion culling upon Kovemment to Klve out ALL the news AS AND WHEN IT HAI'I'KNS. The resolution demands that the ntOHT of freedom ol Information be continued aa a lundumenlnl rlaht ol all the people. It auva: "Some public nltlclul feel they re not accountable In the public, particularly In handling ol Inlornia llon of non-lelene departments; that Kiev may conduct the bind ran ol their ntflces In secret; that they may real or Impound public reoordn; that thev may divulge onlv auch Information ai thev think U good for the peoplo lo know."

But when the administration wants us to believe that because of the wisdom and genius with which our affairs arc being han dled In Washington nobody has anything to fear II only Uie same crowd Is kept in power, then the news thai is peddled to us turns rosy and hopeful.

Sweden , (At Traditionally neutral Sweden, Irate over the shooting down ol a Swedish plane by Soviet Jet fight ers, beclod up Her already strong defenses against Russia Thursduy but was expected to still fight shy of participation In suoh Western al liances aa the Atlantic Pact. The Swedish government already has ordered a step-up In air at tack alertness throughout the country and Instructed Its Air I' in cc and navy to snoot nacg u fired on by Soviet planes. Neigh boring Denmark also told Its air men to return lire If attacked. Swedish Foreign Minister Oeale Unilon, cut short his Italian vaca tion alter the Incident snd was due here by air from Rome. Uut political observers expressed doubt that Unden's return would result In any change In Sweden's long-held policy ol "freedom from nlllnnces." She has been a neutral In European wars lor more than 100 years. The Swedes previously turned down membership In the Atlantic Pact. REJECTION Sweden flatly rejected Wednes day night a Russian protest that the m isled Cstallna flying boat, blasted Iroin the air Monday over the Baltic Sea with seven men n board, had Down over Soviet ter ritory and started the shooting. The Swedish reply declsred thsl the only two Swedish planes oper ating Ui the area at the time were two rescue flying bos Us. both un armed and therefore Incapable ol hooting at anybody. A "thorough Investlgstlon" hsd established that both stayed over International watera and that tile downed plane never Hew closer than 15 miles from Soviet territory, the note added. Russis claims her territorial waters extend 13 miles bevond her shore. Both Cstnllnss were sesrvhlng lor a third Swedish plsne missing since last Frldsy with eight men aboard and also leered lo have lallen victim to Russlsn guns. Tule Farmers May Pay Costs TULELAKE All growers of po tatoes and onions In this area may have to underwrite the cost of Im porting Mexican nationals aa farm help this harvest season. Tulelake Growers Association Pres.' Ed Ducket armounoed today Uie association cannot aland the coat of bringing In the help this year, and has called a special meeting for Friday at ( p.m. not ol aasoclstlon members alone, but of all growera In this district. The Mexicans, he aald, formed a nucleus of a labor force last sea son and at the ssme time held the price scale steady. In order to get them back Uie Crowera Association wants rash Insurance to under write the expense this season, Ducketl asserted. The association wont seek hous ing unless the growers Indicate they are willing to undertake Uie expense, he said. It's not a sub scription drive but a serious situ ation because a dark labor picture has been painted for the coming season. Duckett said a majority of the growera must show they will sup port the Mexican plan before the association will back It. Last year 26 Mexicans worked here during the harvest season, but cost the association $30,000 In bonding, service, housing and food. An estimated 36 Mexicans would be needed here this year to sup plement the dwindling labor supply.

' jr i aj av Group Shapes Plans For Municipal Pool By HALE SCARBROUGH A few-lentaUve steps toward get ting Klamath Falls' municipal swimming pool built were taken Wednesday night at the first meet ing of a committee set up to plan and oversee the ItsO.ooo Job.

Cecil Adams, Mrs. Howard Barn hlsel, -Don Kenyon and Darrell Miller. The technical group will consist of Architects Howard Pcrrln and Murdo Morrison, Contractor Larry Watktns and John Merryman, the latter a heating engineer. Finances will be handled by other members of the large com mittee, wiui proiessionai neip. USE STUDY But for the moment still another committee has the work to do. That is a "statistics" group com posed of Recreation Director Bob Bonney, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Barn- hlsel and Watkins. The group Is to come up with estimates ol how much Uie contemplated pool will be used and by whom, what per centages of the users will want deep water or shallow, plus some Idea of a master plan for eventual use of all the 3.25-acre site where the pool Is to be built. That committee Is to get Its data together within a week. The pool is to be built on the city-owned hot water site between Main and tne canal, diagonally across from Hillside Hospital. A property tax levy to raise jtlSO.OOO In seven years was approved by Klamath Falls voters May 16. Memoers oi tne swimming nnoi committee feel that some, maybe a considerable amount, ol the work can be done yet this year, and that probably the earliest the pool can be ready for use will be July But a lot of planning has to be done before any ground Is broken.

Queen Candidates Gay Despite Sain ' By. WALLACE MYERS An unexpected storm cloud yes terday failed to put the damper on a Yacht Club date for tho Roundup aueen candidates. The eight queen finalists, last year's queen, Margy Brown, and two Saddle Club escorts, Mrs. I Joyce xiyacr miu mia, bun rau- Qaughey, were guests of trie cluo. with Mrs. Howard Pernell. wile oi the commodore, playing hostess. The guests, arriving at the Yacht Club shortly after noon, immedi ately boarded the Pernell 's sleek Dying Child Gets Chance Baby Cbarlene Radsplnner. born without a bile duct, is to be taken to Stanford Lane Hospital at San Francisco sometime in the next few days in a last straw effort to save her life. However, the chances are verv slim. The child's trouble now is reported to have grown into cirrhosis ol tne liver. Charlene Is not quite 14 montm. old, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Kadspinner, 3104 Bisoee. The Eagles Lodge and neighbors of the Radsplnner family have created a fund to raise money for medical expenses during the child's Illness and to pay Uie expenses of the family in taking the child to San Francisco. FUNDS This morning Frank Reynolds. Eagles president, said the lodge had S106 collected, and that his office the Triple-A office In Uie Willard Hotel lobby will accept other contributions to the lund. Other nersons volunteering to take neighborhood donations to uie fund are Mrs. Virgil reeoier, aiu Blsbee; Mrs. Joe Casey, loiia Aus tin: Mrs. Ray Williams, H3b wiara. and Mrs. Harry LeHigh, 333S Bris tol. Reynolds said other lodges and organizations would be asked to help, -and that a strict accounting of Uie money would be made. He said the family Is desperately in need of help and has had to go far Into debt for medical treatment for little Charlene in the few months of the baby'a life. Tile girl's trouble was learned last October, when an operation disclosed the birth deformity. But for a while she appeared to be almost normal, except for a yellow ish cast to her complexion. She was examined once by physicians at the San Francisco Hospital. Charlene gained weight more or less normally for several months, but In recent weeks ner siomacn nas become very bloated until early this week a quantity of fluid was drained off. ' SPECIALIST , Doctors here suggested that she be taken as soon as possible to Uie San Francisco hospital where a physician has had more experience with this particular type ol case, which Is something of a rarity. - Almost no hope or survival lor many more weeks Is held out to the parents. The baby Is the namesake of another little Klamath Falls girl who died very young Charllne Dover, who died or cancer last summer shortly after her third birthday,.

As Uie Saturday night Queen's Ball draws nearer the eight queen candidates continue to show little nervousness. At 11 p.m., Saturday evening, one of Uie eight girls is to become queen of this year's Roundup. All have proven their horsemanship and all appear fit ting for a Roundup queen's laurels. But if the girls themselves are up set by the possible queen choice, they don't show Us.... they're having a great Ume. US Loses Less Than Figured WASHINGTON I The govern ment's going to wind up Its year two to three billion dollars better off than it expected. But it still will be deep in Uie red. Government experts, speaking privately, said Thursday- the de ficitthe amount by which the government overspends Its income is likely to be less than 6 V4 bil lion when Uie fiscal year ends June 30. It could be as low as 5 1-3 billion. President Truman, In his budget message last January, figured the government would go In the hole by $8,200,000,000. The President estimated total spending would Jump 59 per cent above last year due to a huge ex pansion in rearming Uie U. S. and friendly foreign countries. But the military expansion hasn't taken place on that scale. Officials now say spending will fall at least 3 ',i billion, and pos sibly more than four billion, below Truman's $70,900,000,000 spending estimate. . Whatever ltt effect on Western defenses, this dropoff will much more than comnensate for a - de cline In tax revenues below the expected -total. - - Taxes are up as who doesn't know? but thev look like fnllintr some Hi billion dollars short of the $62,700,000-000 Truman budget ed. - On the spending side, slower-than-expected military deliveries are likely to continue and to keep outlays for the year beginning July 1 below the $85,400,000,000 level aimed at by the President. Con gress may trim that further by cutting appropriations. 10.000 CHECKS SALEM Ml Ten thousand bonus checks were mailed out Wednesday, about half the output that had been expected on the first day of mailing, W.

I Automatic Wage Boost Due Many WASHINGTON m The govern ment's latest cost - of - living baro meter moved ur Thursday under pressure of rising food and rent costs to within a tiny fraction of the record high reached last Jan uary. The living-cost index, measuring prices of food, clothing, shelter and a host of other things climbed during the month ending May IS lAvo-tenths of one per cent to 189 per cent of the 1935-39 average. That Is 4.1 per cent over the mark of 18 months ago when price and wage controls took effect. The peak figure last January was 189.1. RAIL WORKERS A million and a quarter rail workers will get an automatic two cent hourly wage boost as a result of the latest increase in living costs. Their work contract ties wages to the cost - of - living index and adjustments are made each three months. Another 100.000 wage earners m textiles, aircraft and oil refining industries also get at least a one cent boost. Leading the over-all living - cost rise was a boost of four tenths of one ner cent in rent across the country. The price of food at the grocery store moved up three tenths of one per cent. OPS CfclLI-VOS Although prices on most items have climbed. Office of Price Stabilization officials announced Wednesday ceilings would be sus pended this week end on bottled wbisxev and wine, inev nave oeen selling for months below ceiling levels - The two-cent wage boost for the nation's railroad workers goes Into effect July 1. The same railworkera three months ago lost a cenan hour when the Bureau of Labor Statistics cost - of - living- index dropped between January and February. Since April. 1951. the railworkers have accumulated a toal cost - of - living wage boost of 13 cents an hour. No Successor For Carter District Judge M. A. (Nick) Carter Wednesday afternoon sent his letter of resignation irom tne bench to Gov. Douglas McKay and so far there has been no recom mendation of the County court lor a successor. Carter's resignation Is effective July i. On that day. he said, he will open a collection agency business at 411 Main, tne Lanary nuuaing. Since the Judgeship is a state Job, it will be the duty of Gov. McKay to appoint a successor. However, the County Court would oe expected to maxe a recom mendation to the Governor, com missioner Ed Gowen said no rec ommendation has been made. Carter announced several days ago he might resign, citing what he termed a disproportionate sal ary paid for the district judgeship nere compared to tne pay tor similar offices in other counties in Oregon. His salary was set by the 1951 Legislature when the court was created at $4,500 a year. Several other courts In Oregon doing less business Uian the local court, carry a ss.-iou a year salary. Carter has been District Judge since last Aug. 1, when the court was created, and was Linkville Justice of the Peoce for several months prior to that, having been appointed by Gov. McKay upon Uie death oi justice oi ine reace J. a. Mahoney in January 1951. He Is unopposed for re-election to the job in November, but said he intended to withdraw from tne ballot if election laws permit.
