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

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.

Si
posed of the City Council, the
Recreation Committee and several
citizens selected for technical
knowledge. v
Mayor Bob Thompson was
chosen permanent chairman of the
swimming pool group, with Charles
(Buisl Larkln vice chairman, and
the executive group of the whole
committee Is to be composed of
Larkln, Mrs. Mae Myers, Dr. F.
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.
EXPERT ADVICE
The committee also apparently
feels that some outside, expert
technical advice will be needed,

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

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

summer shortly after her third
birthday,.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
