The latest petition Issue to come round la the protest lodged by the Multnomah Kennel Club, of which Mr. Murray Kemp happens to be nresidcnt. over the petition to outlaw, betting on the outcome of horse and dog races in the state nf Oreeon. Mr, Kemp, and his associates take the viewpoint that betting on the ponies and pooches is not the major issue at stake. They prefer to think that the measure would be a boomerang that would bring about a complete revision of gamb ling in the state, place Oregon in jeopardy from the gamblers and turn our quiet, peace-loving, home- tvpe state into a second wevaaa with its Reno and its Las Vegas. You, as a potential signer and as a voter of the state will have the - right to make up your own mind about the bill. But it wouldn't hurt to do a little thinking about It. Here, In brief, is what Kemp contends: The proposed amend ment would not prohibit the bet ting on races, but at the same time, would not authorize them. In other words, if the proposed amend ment were to go into effect It would tend to pull the teeth of the anti lottery law. That could happen through var ious means. If the law doesn't auth .orize pari-mutuel betting but at the same time doesn't prohibit it then state autorities could well look the ether way and ignore the situation. , This could, conceivably, open the door for every other form of gamb ling. Under the control of the cor porations and racketeers, because they are the only ones who could afford the financial risk in such an unstable position. It seems to me that the matter , Is a minor one as far as the good of the state is concerned. Having , aeen the authorities turn their backs on the "outlawed" slot ma chines for many years I admit the possibility of it happening again with betting at the tracks. But - pari-mutuel is only a small part of the over-all gambling picture in the state. If the people want to abolish gambling entirely why not ask for adequate laws? Why set. , tie for cutting- of a single tentacle of the ogre of gambling? It might also be well to remem ber that the state raked in some W35.799.92 from the racing- reve- e 1N ONE EAR AND OUT THE TYPEWRITER, listening to Clem ens Heusch, the other Bowdoln Uni versity exchange student, whose home is . tn West Germany:- (Re marks of Anthony Cornwell.' from England, were reported here yes terday., The young men are tour ing the country this summer, and spoke at service clubs here last week.) ' r In west Germany (Heusch said) all kids go to public elementary schools from age six to 19. then into apprenticeship or business. At age 10 all take a general examina tion. The few highest ones get to (to to an 8-year high school. A di ploma from the high school is Anqell Backs Townsend Plan LONG BEACH. Calif., MV-Rep. Homer Angell (R-Ore), a supporter ih we xownsena uja Age rension plan, charged in a speech last week that social security reserve funds are being spent unnecessarily and wastefully by the government. Angell said in the talk, prepared for delivery at the national Town send Club convention here, that the U. S. has collected nearly SO uuiiun uuuars in social security payments and that only a small fraction of the amount has been rfltlirnnri In anmiHIa, He said that as the population grows oiaer and more persons be come entitled to the benefits, funds to replace the already spent re serves will have to be made up by new taxes. Adoption of the Townsend Plan would correct the sltuatioh, he said. . r Administration Oks Home Bill WASHINGTON W) Spokesmen lor the administration and for private home builders endorsed Monday a Senate-passed bill de signed to spur home construction in defense and disaster areas. Their testimony was given to the House Banking Committee, which hopes to clear the leglsla lion for final congressional action before Congress quits for the po litical conventlont next month. The bill would allow the Federal National Mortgage Association to purchase an additional 800 mil lion dollars worth of mortgages on defense and disaster area housing, in addition to the two billion al ready bought.

That was a com bination of $536.87.10 . from the dogs and 2flB,9J5.83 from the horse races. That monev went to supuort such tilings as the Klamath Basin Roundup ($5000 per year for the past five years).' the Pacific Inter national show ($35,000) and keep ing the financial pot boiling for thirtv six county fairs. The last figure available at the moment for Klamath county ran somewhat over $2500. If these programs are to be kept uo and you jerk over half million dollars in revenue away from the various agencies the only forseeable answer wouia be to take the monies out of the general fund. And replace the defi cit by boosting; state taxes again. It is hardly fair to condemn gambling as evil and wicked and then cry wnen tne money proviaea by the great, wicked organization Is withdrawn from puonc use. On the whole I think it might be safely said that the whole proU- position of gambling in Oregon has been carried to the borders of the ridiculous. We are like the Deople who want to have our cake and eat it too. A feat which has yet to be successfully performed. Over the oast century countless lawi have been passed to protect the people from themselves. And none of them have worked, mats obvious. If they had we wouldn't have initiative measures use mis one. That sort of makes the whole thing smack of weakness. I very much doubt that any state body can legislate gambling out of ex istence. II mat were iriea we would have to outlaw betting on elections. And why not? why Is H more wicked to bet on a dog being fleeter of foot than his rivals than it is to bet on a candidate being trickier than his opponents? Gambling, as an act. is the thought behind the action not the ultimate destination of your wasted dollar. TO be really effective any anti- gambling law will have to be not only comprehensive but will have to be enforced. Maybe it's about time the peoole of the state really got Into the bat tle and decided which thev want ed! Let s either legalize gambling and take a good, healthy cut in the form of taxes to help pay our debt-ridden treasury's way, or let's put the clamps on the whole state and knock every form of gambling in the head. And if we adoot the latter law let's triple our police forces and try and prevent people from pitch ing pennies at a crack in a back alley somewhere. equivalent to a little less than your B. A. These are all day schools they're standardized and are oper ated by the state. All young folks have schooling, but the percentage that get to high school and university doesn't com pare at all with your country. My English friend commented on Politics. Let me tell you a little about our German politics which are very hard to understand. East Oermany, of course, is com pletely dominated by Communism. This condition is held only through action of the secret police. Ten years ago it was Black; today it is Red. That's about the only differ ence between the Nazi and the Communist. West Germany Is democratic. The principles are the same but the conditions are very diflerent from yours. You have a very wonderful two party system. There is very little ideological difference between the two. There is a very great differ ence between our political parties. It is a very stiff, rigid system. A Oerman belongs to a political party because of a deep conviction in the ideology of his party. You often vote for candidates of the other party because you think they are the best men. This never happens in my homeland. At home, all foreign and econom ic policies are set by the federal government; all cultural questions are handled by the "states." Our country is a federal republic, like yours, but with us It is neces sary to have a strong man as the head. Adenauer is a strong leader, and that Is needed. If we were as completely dem ocratic in action, like the French then we would have an upset in the government every few months too. Germans are not used to de mocracy. The majority of our people think that international political and pen. nomlc integration is the salvation of the West. The difficulty in achieving this comes from France. not West Germany. . My father's Rotary Club at home was the first one to be reestablished after the war. If all countries would have programs like that, then we would indeed have salvation.

The classes are conducted by qual- lifled American Red Cross Instruc tors and Life Savers. At the com pletion of the course those able to pass the Red Cross tests will re ceive their cards. The Red Cross nationally has set up the following classifications of swimmers: BEGINNER SWIMMER Must pass certain preliminary tests and be able to jump and dive in, and swim 15 yards and without touching, turn and swim IS yards making a total of 30 yards. It usually takes a non-floater from 1 to 10 lessons to over come his fear of tne water, ano water, ana begin learning how to propel him- self in the water. In 6 to 8 les sons a few have been able to pass the Beginner's test. It all depends on how quickly thev master the skills taught them, and how much real practice they get between lessons. INTERMEDIATE SWIMMER Must be able to master the leg kicks and arm strokes for the crawl, side stroke, breast stroke, elementary back and racing back stroke, and be able to swim them from 50 to 100 yards. They must also swim five minutes without resting. Children and adults who pass this test should be able to take care of themselves tn water. SWIMMERS TEST In order to pass this test the individual must be able to swim in good form the five basic strokes, surface dive, treat water, etc. This test is a prerequisite for Junior and Senior Live Saving. They mus! also be able to swim a quarter of a mile. JUNIOR AND SENIOR LIFESAVTNG For those who have passed the swimmer a test. Juniors are irom 12 to 15 years. Seniors from 16 vears un. As far as we know, in the Red Cross Office, we have no one hold ing the Advanced swimmer's card. There are several who think they are ready to take the test. In order to take the test tne individual musi swim the following strokes in good form: Elementary Back Stroke 50 yards Breast Stroke 100 yards Inverted Breast Stroke 50 yards Side Stroke 100 yards Overarm Side Stroke 100 yards Trudger 100 yards Back Crawl 100 yards Crawl 100 yards Truder Crawl 100 yards Surface dive and swim 10 yards under water. In addition to the listed strokes above, the individual must have oassed either Junior or Senior Life Saving, and must swim continuous ly for 30 minutes using one or more stvles of swimming. A champion swimmer spends many hours a day practicing ! We are looking forward to the time when we will have some ad vanced swimmers in Klamath County. Wn do none vou win laxe o- vantage of these swimming classes. Mrs. ueorge Myers Water Safety Chairman Jap Editors Study Attack TOKYO OB Japanese news editors took a grave 'view of the massive Allied bombing Monday of Sulho power project in Korea Japan's boldest engineering tri umph and one of the world's larg est hydroelectric developments. Churo Nlshlmura, Asiatic newt editor of the big Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri, expressed belief "the U.N. has played a trump card and perhaps risked an all-out war with Communist China." "The Allial bombing of Suiho will probably slow further the progress of the deadlocked armistice talks," said Keizo Nozue, vice chief of the foreign news section of the news paper Asahl, one of Japan's Influ ential national dallies. "We understand General Mac Arthur did not bomb the dam In the early days of the war because It might bring Chinese Communists intervention. To bomb It now is a very Important step." Japanese editors generally ex pressed belief the bombing was a "political" rather than a strictly military assault. WURLITZER A magnificent plane. Many levaly styles ant) finishes to choose from. LOUIS R. MANN dial LOS ALAMOS. N. M. i There is no cemetery here In the birthplace of the a,tom bomb. That fact Is a clue to the big gest defect of living In a government-built community that is Ideal in many ways. As one of the 13.800 workers in this heart center 'of America's atomic weapon research put it: "People come, people go. But nobody really feels It Is home. Very few expect to die here, and I guess that is why there isn't any cemetery." Los Alamos Is perhaps the most unusual community in the nation. When It was conceived In 1943 it' was thought It would never row bevond a population of 700. Now It Is a small cltv of nearly 13.000 scientists and technicians, sprawling over several mesas In an Isolated. 86.000-acre. closelv- gunrded reservation In the Jemez ,.,., f Nonhpm Krv Mn. jc0 It Is still growing rnpldlv. and work Is under way on a new $120,000,000 laboratory. The chief Industry of this strange city is to develop better Instru ments ior wiaesprer.i atomic death, yet bv most yardsticks of sociology it is a dream city. There are no slums here. There Is no unemployment. The city has a fine school svstem. It has won derful recreation facilities. Includ ing a baseball field, swimming pool. Ice skating rink, ski lift, and Its own small symphonv orchestra. Unlike most other cities through out the land. It has no major park ing problem. The crime rate 4s unbelievably low. The intelligence level of Its citizens is perhaps the highest achieved bv anv citv In history. At least 280 have earned PH. D. degrees. There are more than 80 social and professional organizations. There are It organized church groups. The hapnv shouts of children and the barking of dogs ring across the neat, well-tended lawns all day long. "We are famous for babies, dogs and bombs In that order." one Atomic Energy Commission em ploye said. "This Is a wonderful place to raise children, and we have one of the highest birth rates in the country. "About 15 per cent of the popu lation Is under five years of age. The average age here Is 25 Solon Raps Poor Liquor WASHINOTON Wl Rep. Chelf, House spokesman for one of Ken tucky's major bourbon producing districts, took a crack Monday at the distilling Industry's cheap pro ducewhiskey blended with grain alcohol. "Its stomach flush." snorted the Democratic lawmaker. "It's noth ing but an ulcer agitator." The outburst came as a House judiciary subcommittee, headed by Chfflf, heard a government expert testify that the whisky industry is putting out more blended than straight whisky. Rep. Keating (R-NY) said he was unfamiliar with the products and wanted to know what blended whisky is. "I'll tell you," said cneif. "Tney aren't blended whiskey at all. They are blended alcohols. You mix raw grain alcohol with a little wnisxy and sometimes you don't even get a color. "You have to add carmel or prune juice to it to get the color of whiskey. I guarantee you mere Isn't a moonshiner In Kentucky who can't outmix and outblenl that stuff. It's a fraud on the Am erican public.

There are onlv about 410 persons here over 60." Why. then. Isn't Los Alamos a perfect place to live? It Is be cause the lamilies here feel thev dwell In a guarded fishbowl? "No. not anv more.'' one em ploye said. "The people have learned to live with secrecy, and it is no longer the shadow over them that it was a few years ago. "As a matter of fnct. those who live here now are about eouallv divided over whether they like or aisiike it. There Is a shortage of housing, and families have to wan their turn to move Into the dis trict which has the best homes." This district is known locally as Snob Hill" bv those who don't live there. A major source of discontent is that nobody here can own his own home In Los Alamos. He can onlv rent It from the government. Many workers leave because of this. They want to settle down In a place where they can own their own house. "The scientific people come here for a few vears to get prestige." one man summed it uo. "Then they leave to take better obm Industry or university teaching. Thev seem to prefer teaching." An American doesn't want to die In a town where he can't ever buv a bomesite. Los Alamos will be here for a long, long lime. It Is vital to the nation. But It will never be a Teal city until the people who work here have a feeling of ownership and community interest until thev can buy a home and a graveyard plot. Until this happens If It ever does Los Alamos will remain onlv a government collection of brilliant intellectuals In transit, .heir minds here, their hearts elsewhere.

PACKARD ABC' WA8HINOTON The Korean War la two years old Wednesday. No one any more In a responsible position la offering a quick solution for ending it. Nor la anyona pre dicting the outcome. The Invasion of South Korea by the North Korean Communists be gan like a atone dropped In a quiet pool, Tho ripples are atlll widening. And Russia, which watched like a fnt fox, may have outfoxod itself. And maybe not. For a year the Korean War has been less than full-scale, although men have died dally. In Nils year no gratia giouna oftensives twin cs nave peeked away, holding positions, while their truce teams talked ot an armistice. No armistice Is In sight. For the past three months In this year of the epic talkathon, the conversa tions have stalled on one Isauot Exchange of prisoners. Yet neither side seems anxious to stop talking. Neither wants responsibility for what follows the end of talking: Start of big war again. In this nast vear the American Air Force has worked steadily be hind the enemy lines to prevent a build-up. But the Chinese have managed to build. They are ere dlted now with behig stronger than before tho talks began.

Crushing China couldn't be done without far more men and sup plies than the Allies ' have been willing to put Into Korea, since they need them for defense against Russia in Europe, In case Russia attacks there. So Russia has the Allies Guess ing, and has had from the begin ning ot the Korean shooting. But the shooting started far more than the Russians probably baigauiod for. If the North Korean Communists got away with the attaok on South Korea, while the United Nations sat dumbly by, all Asia would have been discouraged from resisting. But Korea was a starting point for the U.S. and U.N. The arms program began in ear nest. Bo did the Atlantic Pact. So did the rearming of Europe, the Idea of a European Army, the end of the war with Germany and I he decision to let Oernmny Join the European Army. Japan was allowed full sover eignty again, with freedom to re arm, while the U. 8. was allowed to use Japan as a military base. The U. B. poured money and sup piles Into the war against Commun ism In Indochina. In short, two years ago Russia faced a oomplelly divided and helpless Europe, and a defenseless Asia. Europe still Is far from ready for a war with Russia but It has made progress In two years. The cost of Korea to the U. B. has been high: 110,000 American casualties and perhaps 10 billion dollars In supplies. The cost of the was has been higher to Korea, both North and South: Devastation and a million casualties. It has cost the Chinese perhaps a million cas ualties, too. Few are suggesting the V. 8 pull out of Kurea. so we seem stuck with the war, hoping It won't get worse. If we coukl read the minds of the Chinese and Rus sians, they may feel the tame way.

Twenty - two residents of the street petitioned the court to ditch along the street, each offering to provide his own 12-Inch concrete or cast Iron pipe to construct driveways across the ditch. The county stipulated tnat it would do the ditching but would assume no future responsibility.
