Bv the wsy.'who knowa. just off hand. Uie origin of the term Fourth lSsUM? . ,, , 11 Is supposed to have been llrat used by Uie great IngHsh states men, Edmund Burkt. In the course ol a speech In Iho house of com mona. h pointed lo the reporters' gallery and aatd; "Yonder alia the Fourth Estate, mora Important than all the others." That leads to another quia dues Hon; What (In Burke's day) were the other three estates? They wero Uie three claaaea ol people thai made up Uie States Genera! of Franco the clergy, or the Flral Estate the nobility, or the Second Estate, and the com mon people, or the Third Estate. The Btatea-Oeneral waa France's flral (quite rudimentary) parlia ment. It waa formed In 1303 and lasted until Iho French Revolution In 1189. , It lldn't meet at regular times. It wis called bv the king in Umes of "emergency," when he wanted advice, or MONEY, or moral sup port. Recalling- the charaoter of the kings of France of that day. I Imagine thev called the Slates-qcn-eral Into session only when uiey needed an alibi. I'm beginning to suspect that II congress met ONLY on the call ol the President it would be used In ' about the same manner today. ) S, What Burke really meant when j he referred so flatteringly in the ' house of commons to Uie Fourth Estate waa thla: By telling the people what la go ing on and why, the press enables the people to OUARD THEIR LIB F.RT1E8 against encroachment bv the demagogues, the aelf-seckers and Uie ambitious and unscrupu lous leaders who reach constantly for more and more POWER. Knowledge of that fact la what taused our Founding Fathers to guarantee freedom of the press in our constitution. Letting tho people know is the high and sacred funo llon of the press In a democracy. Anv newsoaner that consciously poisons the news It Rives to the people Is recreant to its trust and befouls the confidence reposed in Ihe press by Burke when he termed It "the Fourth Estate more Im portant than all the others." OLCC Holds' Hearings Here An examiner for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has concluded two hearings on law in fraction charges against local OLGO licensees. A hearing on a charge of Illegal lain Of liquor against tho Elks Lodge was conducted yesterday, did another on a similar charge igalnst the Town Club was held loday, both at the Courthouse.

State Game Commission Reveals Hunting Rules Highlights In Uie tentative 1963 hunting regulations set last week end bv the Game Commission in clude a Sept. 37 to Oct. 17 buck deer season followed by a three day hunter's choice deer season for hunters with unused tags, a Nov. 1 to 30 general elk season, and a pheasant season opening Oct, 34 and ending Nov, 3, In Western Oregon and ending Nov. u, in eastern urcgon. The hunter's choice season for one deer of either sex Is aimed at cropping deer from agricultural srcaH and problem rangca where a browse shortage threatens heavy winter losses. Tho dales are Ocl. 18, 18. and 30. In Western Oregon the hunter's choice season would be outside national forest exterior boundaries and within one mile of established cultivated agricultural lands, Uius offering protection to non-problem deer on the higher ranges. With the exception of Hood Riv er valley and White River valley (Wasco 'County), the hunter's choice area In Eastern Oregon lies cast of The Dnllcs-Callfornla high way north to Redmond and east of the Jefferson, Wasco, and Gil liam County lines. Tho greater part ol Central and Southeastern Oregon are Included in the elthcr box area, but Malheur County south of highway 20; all of Umatil la National Forest; portions of Ochoco, Wnllown, Whitman, and Deschutes National Forests; Ihe Newberry Crater area near Bend; and the High Desert between Mllll can and Wagontlre Mountain are excluded from tho proposed hunt er's cholco season, One special deer season of 300 permits would be held In tho New bridge area of Bakor County, A total of 1200 permits would be available for antelope hunters In the snmo three areas opened lost year. The special hunts allowing an extra door or an antelope would bo on n drawing basis. Hunters who received tags last year for an nntelopo or an extra door will not be eligible to have their name in cluded in this year's drawing. i jwall aisled Price Five Cents 20 Pages Shortage Of Labor Faces Tule Farms By RUTH KING TULELAKE Ail Intensive enm pulllii lo alublllae the labor and wage picture In Uie Tuleluke area for the coining potato harvest Is to be waged between July 18 and 30 by tho Tulclake Orowers As sociation. Ed Duckett, Association presi dent, aald today thai prospects for one of Uie most critical harvest labor ahortages since World War II face Uasln farmers, and a so lution to the problem is being aought Uirough cooperation of all potato mid onion producers. It is nropoaed Uiat all growera be asked lo underwrite the cost of Importing 336 Mexican Nationals at an estlmuled cost of 130,000. The fund will be raised by a pledge of 13 per acre on both crops. ESCROW Money is to be held in escrow In the Bunk of America until enough contracts are signed to guarantee the contract lor Uie 336 single men. In event the amount la not raised the checks will be returned lo Uie growers. The association recently turned thumbs down on the rexnslblllty of underwriting the program this year. Cost to the organisation of last year'a importation of. labor waa 818,000, a prohibitive amount since only 40 per cent of Ihe total crop acreage In the Tulelake area Is represented in the association. LOST HOUSING The association lost most of the worker housing accommodations this year when the U.S. Bureau of prisons took over me major pan of the old Internment camp. Only six barracks buildings and one mess hull were allocated to the asaociaiion. Mo housing accommodations are available for families, a source of harvest help thai has been sails- actory in past years. Housing would be needed for 200 families to provide adequate help. Duckell aald It la Impossible to relv on while single men la re main hare and that the only solu tion apparently is uupuriauuu m Mexican labor. Contracts of NaUonala are writ ten on a 120 day basis and since uie harvest nere does not require that length of time, the associa tion works through a slate agricul tural agency, A pinch Is already being felt In Uie labor situation according to a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation who complained that men being sent to uie Tulclake area by Uie bureau are be ng hired at higher wages by Tulelake farm ers. II Is also rumored that there Is a prospect of using top security federal prisoners to alleviate the labor shortage . DEATHS TOTAL IbS MANILA ln The number of persons killed this year in clashes between Huks and civilians or troops rose to 766 with eight new deaths Thursday, A special elk season In the Troy area (Wallowa County) and a late November season in Umatilla County near Walla Walla would be held on a free permit basis, Uie hunter using his regular elk tag. Two hundred free permits allow ing one elk of either sex would be Issued for Uiese hunts. Eastern Oregon bull elk boundar ies for the general elk season would be nearly identical to those specified last year, and in elther sex elk area the season would be extended to December 31 along the west side of Baker Valley. Archers wbuld have the same archery areas for elk and deer as offerod last year plus a deer archery season on the Hart moun tain antelope refuge. - There would be no liberal pheas ant bag and limit for Malheur County where census work by game agents has shown a decline In the pheasant population. The Eastern Oregon Dheasant baa? would be three cocks per day and in during me enure season, and the Western Oregon pheasant bag two cooks oer dav and not over four during the entire season. The popular teenage pneasant Hunt on the Wilson Wildlife Management area near Corvnllls would be re peated. Mountain quail would be hunted for Uie first lime in years and would be included In the regular quail bag, quail season coinciding; witii mig pneasHiiii aensou. Another Hungarlon partridge hunt would be opened-in North eastern Oregon, and sage hen would be hunted In Malheur, Har ney, and cart of Lake County on aaies corresponding with the ante lope hunt In that area. The blue and ruffed grouse season In West ern Oregon would fnll during deer season. Trancing regulations will bn slm. liar to last year's with : another beaver season and. a reduction In cost of beaver tags from 83 to 1. public snooting grounds, sun regu lations, and tagging regulations would oa uie same.

And the hottest test pilot, lanky Bill Bridgcman. says zooming at that speed is "no different than flying 760 miles per hour." The real kick comes, Bridgeman said in an exclusive Interview last night, when the rocket - propelled humminsDira runs out ol power si a record altitude of 79,494 feet and swoops -down 16 miles lor a dead- stick landing on Uie desert.

Eisenhower packed some knock about clothes and his fishing gear for a week's vacation starting Thursday at a rocky mountain ranch. The Republican presidential nom inee originally had planned to set out Wednesday for the secluded spot about 70 miles west ol nere near Fraser, Colo. He delayed his departure 24 hours so he and Mrs. Elsenhower could be on hand lor a jo-minwe stop-over of a plone carrying their son, MaJ. John D. Eisenhower, to Seattle. The major will leave there later this week for duty in Korea. The general's only companion during a week of trout fishing at Fraser will be his long-time friend Aksel Nielsen. Denver insurance man' who owns the ranch. Mrs. Elsenhower will remain at the home of her mother. Mrs. John S. Doud, who lives in Denver. Eisenhower's political staff, head quartered at the Brown Palace hotel, also will remain in Denver. A five-car caravan of newsmen will accompany the general to the Nielsen ranch and remain unm evening. They won't stay on there because of lack ol accommodations. Chamber Drive Shows Growth Twenty-six luncheon setups were ordered yesterdav for a report meeting in the Klamath Chamber of Commerce's membership drive and 43 workers showed up. That pretty well illustrates the enthus iasm that has fired the campaign since. It was scheduled several weeks ago and actually got under way Monday. - The membership teams, striving to approximately double the cham ber's strength, yesterday checked in with 48 members and reported 61 present members had increased ineir membership fee. Prime reason for the member ship drive is 'to make the cham ber program to b o 1 s t e r existing the Basin" under a full head of steam, "Build the Basin" is a new cham ber program to bolster exstlng Klamath County business and draw new mdustry here.

In all, Bridgeman made six rock et flights lost summer after the Skyrocket was launched at 36,000 teet irom a B-29 mother ship. tacn time, ine ao-vear-oid Doug las test pilot said, the needle-nosed 40 -foot ship rammed smoothly through the sonic barrier which is reached at about 600 mUes an hour at 35.000 feet and above. In gressurised suit and cockpit, rldgeman says he was "not, es pecially conscious of speed: " - "You notice the high speed only when you make a mistake," the ex-Navy bomber pilot said. "Then she really jumps and gets hard to control. Generally, though, there's too much blue sky and so many things to do that, the speed isn't nouceaoie. " The record speed was made In level flight after Uie Skyrocket had reached the apex of her climb. It was measured by instruments in the plane and radar ground read ings carefully checked by the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. The moment that sends "your guts into your shoes," Bridgeman declares, comes when the last of the four rockets used by Uie plane loses its thrust. "Then you have to bend 'er over fast, level off and start gliding for home." ins Arizona Farm MERRILL One hundred and fifty-one acres of seeded and culti vated land three miles south of Yuma, Aris., is the plum plucked from a capsule in a recent home stead drawing by Bill Waldrlp, Merrill.

There has been no visible effort on either side to reach a settle ment In Uie economy - strangling strike since Monday when negotia tions arranged by Presidential As sistant John R, Steelman ended In deadlock. A maze of rumors sprang up around Uie country about possible secret settlement of the strike Uiat has idled more than a million and one half workers, but Murray brushed them all aside with: "They are without foundation," - "Uiat simply isn't so." TRADE JOURNAL Iron Age magazine, trade Jour nal, said Murray's rejection of Uie industry's compromise offer at the last peace talks did not meet with approval oi his union lieutenants. But union- officials said Iron Age's report Is without foundation. The Issue of a union shop, which would require all workers to join the union, or some modified form of it appeared, to be Uie big stum bling block in the path of a setUe- meni. Murray wants compulsory mem bership, but the Industry is hold ing out for union membership on a voluntary oasis oniy. Murray has called the steelwork ers 170 - man wage policy com mittee to meet in Pittsburgh Mon day. That committee makes all major union decisions. STRIKE REPORT Murray said he will report on the strike and ask the group to map a course of future action. Meanwhile the longest strike in steel history drifts along in lis seventh week. It is costing the nation about 40 million dollars a day in - lost wages and steel production' alone. In addition to the idle steelwork ers there are nearly a million breadwinners on furlough from In dustries that depend on steel lor raw material. The best available estimates by observers are that steel workers have lost something like 37 mil lion dollars a day in wages since the strike started June 3. Workers in allied industries have lost an estimated 35 million dollars a day In wages. Steel tonnage lost through the strike is valued at 81.650,000,000. President Has Better Night WASHINGTON Wl President Truman spent a "very good night" at the Army's Walter Reed Hos pital, aides said Thursday. They reported that Truman ex pects to get back to the White House by Saturday. The 68-year-old President en tered the hospital Wednesday, marking the first time he was hos pitalized since he took office more than seven years ago. He is undergoing a series of tests as a result of a mUd virus infection with which he was afflicted Sunday. Joseph Short, Uie Presidents press secretary, said Truman is seeping ousy going over ine greai number of bills passed in the clos ing days of Congress and still requiring his signature, He has about 50 bills to go. Mrs. Trumsn came home by train Thursday from Indepen dence, Mo. She drove directly to the hospi tal, where her husband occupies the Presidential suite. The first lady, who had spent 10 days in Independence with her ail ing mother declined to discuss the President's health, but allowed photographs to be taken. She was dressed in a black suit and a white hat. No appointments were set up for the President. This seems to rule out any possibility that he will confer with Thomas J. Gavin of Kansas City, Uie man who will cast Truman's ballot at the Demo cratic National Convention next week. Short said he sees no prospect of any personal get-together between Truman ana uavin. Short said that Truman's physi cian. Maj. Gen. Wallace H. Gra ham, expects the President's tem perature "may go up a teeny little bit" again Thursday afternoon, as it has been doing since Sunday. Truman had no fever Thursday morning. ' And. Short added: "The President expects to be back in the White House by Satur day.' , Short emphasized again that the President went to the hospital, not because of his illness, but to facili tate running the medical tests Dr. Graham wanted to make.
