Byrd, the Vir ginia Democrat (ana newspaper publisher) used the reference as an analogy to present day Washing ton In an address to the American Newspaper Publishers Association. . Sen. Byrd wars with his fellow Democrats over the matter of waste In government. (If tax receipts under the Tru man budget for fiscal year 1953 were added to Truman taxes al ready collected, the total would be 33B billion for seven years. This Is 45 billion more than the total of all taxes collected in all United States history, from Washington through Roosevelt.) - He told the publishers that the administration is venal, in three ways: The Illegal and criminal; " the exploitation of public trust for Srlvste gain; the Inability to dis ngulsh the moral from the im moral. In speaking' of this condition he cald that when Newbold Morris ar rived ne was supposed to be the Hercules to cleanse the Augean stables at Washington, but that be could not survive the political weather. You perhaps heard a speaker at the Republican convention point out the need for sending a new Her cules to Washington to cleanse the Augean stables. The reference Is not confined to politics though. - Only this week Corky Wallet of Gasoline Alley was swamping out Chuck's cabin In the Everglades with the help of Hope and Judy. . . "It's like cleaning the Augean (tables," said he. QcumA , CHICAGO W Those Northern Democrats who marched bravely . up the hill Monday night, have now inarched right down again. On Monday they tried to tell the ' Southern Democrats where to get off and get out, if they wished. On Tuesday they pulled back. Fearing some Southern states . might bolt the party after this Chi- ' cago meeting, this group of North erners got the convention to ap- prove a resolution requiring all delegates to take a party loyalty ; pledge. And the penalty of the Southern ers who didn't sign? Out they go. Not. thrown out. They could keep their seats. But they couldn't take part in the convention. It would be as It they weren't there. If this was meant to tie the Southerners tight to the party - wagon, frighten them, or make them self-conscious, It didn't work. ' Whole batches of the Southerners aid they wouldn't sign. They said they couldn't pledge support to a party candidate or platform which hadn't yet been re vealed because the folks back ' home might not like either. This put them In the position of saying: You give us the kind of candidate and platform we want, or we don't have to play ball. Facing a party split even before the convention was over, the North- erners back-pedaled. They softened the loyalty pledge until now it has practically no meaning at all for any state which wants to bolt. President Truman is credited with telling the Northerners to back up and compromise. There's no mystery why: This Is one year the Democrats need all the votes they can get. Particularly electoral votes. .When the states rlghters pulled out of the party in IMS, they de . prtved Truman of 39 electoral votes. This year the margin of a few electoral votes may mean win or lose. ' There's no single, simple explan ation of what the South wants In , this convention or the election. Some of the strangest rumors get around and when they are false, ' as rumors oiten are. tney can cause a great deal of trouble. Q I am 66 years old and re cently had a double hernia opera. tlon. a fellow worker says he also has a hernia, but refuses to have an operation because he says that a government bulletin reveals that only' 39 out of 1000 operations on men over 40 for hernia are suc cessful. What la your comment? Reader. A I have not seen the bulletin Which is quoted, but should hazard a guess that the figures mav be reversed: 29 out of 1000 are not permanently successful. The latter would come much closer to the Uuth. In any event, the best treatment for a person .with a severe hernia Is an operation, and the chances are very good that the operation will be successful. Q Is It true that drinking heated left-over coffee Invites hardening of the arteries? Mrs. R. W. H. A There Is no reason to believe that It does. Q If a person has been working In a damn place for 10 years and gets rheumatoid arthritis, and doc tors can find no other cause, could such a person claim benefits from BILL JKNKINS Manailng Editor post office ol Klamath Falla, Or, ot Congrara, March a, 1I7 ASSOCIATED PRESS The ROUNDS ADDISON If the politicians and comto strip authors nave been brushing up on their Greek mythology they've been referring to the liflh labor oi Her cules. Hercules was the son ot Zeus, the king of the gods, and a mortal princess, Alcmene. Hera, the wile of Zeus, had it in for him. She sent two huge serpents to kill him In his cradle but the imam Hercules strangled them. She later caused him to become insane and ne burned his wife and children alive It was to atone for the sins of his Insanity that Hercules per- lormed tne 12 great laoors. The fifth labor was the cleansing or uie staDies of King Augeas oi Ells. It was a nasty job but Her cules did It in a day by turning the rivers, Alpheus and Peneus, into the stables and flushing them out clean. Then Augeas refused to pay mm, ana nercuies xuiea rum. ; That's the original dope on cleansing the Augean stables, but we have a hunch that the latter day "cleansers" got the Idea from the Greek god's namesake,. Hercule poire. Hercule Polrot is the little Bel gian with the big mustache who 60lves inexplicable crimes and mysteries for writer Agatha Christie through exercising his "little grey cells." M. Polrot's Augean Stable Case also had to do with politics; but this time it was British. "The situation is an extremely delicate one, M. Polrot." tit was Sir George Conway, the Home Secretary, sneaking.) .A faint smile flitted across Her cule Polrot's lips. He almost re olled. "It always lsl" , . . but. if you want the details of Hercule's adventure, get "The Labors of Hercules" at a news stand. If you want the labors of the original Hercules, head for the library . . . and let's hope that come November we DO get a new Hercules to cleanse our Augean stables. TJtautoxv . Until 1938 the bloc of Southern states were the controlling force In Democratic conventions. That was when a candidate couldn't be nominated unless two-thirds of the delegates approved. This was changed to a simple majority vote in 183S. That meant the South was out numbered thereafter In any con vention where the rest of the dele gates were In disagreement with the South. In this critical year 1 Southern states are in a position V regain some ot that lost power, If only for this year, because of their un stated threat to take a walk un less they get the kind of candidate and platform they want. One thing they don't want is a strong civil rights plank In the plat- form. It was a strong civil rights pianc 4n lms wmcn lea tne states rights movement and cost ' Tru man those 39 electoral votes. Actually, the Southerners can hardly have any fear a Democratic administration could carry out civil rights legislation promised in a platform. The Southerners ' In Congress can block it. The Southern politicians know tnis, one souinern editor at tne con vention said, but have made civil rights such an issue back home they don't want to return to their own voters from a convention which approved a tough Civil rights plank. ) So there is this social conflict between the Southerners and those Northern Democrats who are given various laoeis, uae "new ueaiers, Fair Dealers' and "Liberals." But the Southerners, following a conservative pattern, as is shown in tneir votes many times in con' gress with the most conservative elements of the Republican party, are in conflict with those labeled Northerners In other fields. Those are only some of the fac tors involved in this North-South dispute. Undoubtedly there Is the personal element, too, among those Southerners who have had personal jeuas witn Truman. the compensation board? Reader A This is a question for Solo mon. It would have to be ruled by the compensation board and since the cause of Rheumatoid arthirlts Is not known, it will be a difficult question for them to decide. Q What signs are most likely to develop irom chronic poisoning with caffeine? A Probably the most common symptoms of chronic caffeine pois oning consist of nervousness, irri tability, slight digestive distur bances and difficulty In going to sleep or restlessness while asleep, Q My kidney has dropped three inches and has a kink In the tube. Is there any herb tea that will strengthen it? E.J.T. A I should not recommend herb tea. In severe cases of this sort, it may be necessary to perform an operation, but a specialist should be consulted as to what is best to do. Q Since I stopped nuralnar mv baby three years ago, one breast has been painful, Could It be pos sible that there's still milk In that breast after three years? A it is possible, though If there were milk still present, it could probably be expressed from the nlnple. Some other cause for the painful breast is more likely.

LIVINGSTONE' ' CHICAOO ( The Democratic Party pledged Itself Thursday to "sound progressive development" ot the nation's land and water re sources, and their protection from "destructive monopoly and exploi- taaon." In their 1952 platform, approved by the national convention Ul the early morning nours, Democrats fashioned a Western policy plank board enough to cover Just about every phase oi western interest. In general, they promised to fol low along Uie pain charted early ui the New Deal lor more public power.' multi-purpose reclamation projects, conservation and devel opment of natural resources and federal encouragement ot mineral exploration. incorDOrating most of the YeC' ommendattons of the Western States Conference, comprising the 11 Western States. Hawaii and Alaska, the 1952 platform favors: 1. Construction of power trans mission lines for distribution of electricity from hydro power sources. 2. "Fair, non - discriminatory" freight rales to encourage econo mic development of the West. 3. Government encouragement of exnloratlon and stockpiling of min erals and fuels, and continued re search on syntnetlc fuels. 4. Continue river basin develop ment under regional authorities. 5.

' Missing from the Democratic platform, although Included by the Republicans, was any statement lavoraig return to uie states of title to the tidal lands and their rich mineral resources. Shortly before congress adlourned. President Truman ve toed a bill passed by Congress for return of tne uoeianas to wie states. The platform approved eariy Thursday by the Democrats their answer, to tne nepuDucan pwuurm adopted two weeks earlier placed special emphasis on water and power, the West's two major con cerns. . It called for development oi iana and water resources for flocti con trol, navigation. Irrigation, power, drainage, soil conservation and creation of "new, small family sized farms" with immediate ac tion In critical areas. The platform favored accelera tion of all such projects, including the construction of power trans mission lines to consuming centers "for wider and equitable distribu tion of electric energy at the low est cost to the consumer." Preference for government agencies and REA cooperatives also was favored in the distribu tion and use of public power. In their power statement, the Democrats reaffirmed the policy of the Roosevelt-Truman adminis trations in the long controversy over private versus public distri bution and use of public power. The platform drafters took a sharp dig at the GOP platform pro posal for less federal control of water and power projects and greater local operation on a self- River Group Ends Meeting SPOKANE I The' Columbia Interstate Compact Committee held . Its first formal meeting in Spokane Wednesday and heard a report by the "builder" of Grand Coulee Dam but postponed perm anent organization of the commit tee and election of officers. Temporary Chairman Jack V. Rogers of Wenatchee said the de lay in organization was caused by the failure, of Montana to send a formal representative to the five state compact meet. Montana State Engineer Fred E. Buck said "Ills state expected to have a representative on the com mittee soon. Officials, trom the Bureau of Rec lamation, Washington, . Oregon, IdahOj and Wyoming heard the former chief engineer on Orand Coulee Dam, Frank A.

A few hours before they received the miQi plutlorm dralt, conven tion delegates had heard Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) accuse GOP policy makers of proposing the "biggest steal and sell-out of the American people" In history by favoring the breaking up of re gional reclamation and power pro jects so as to be "gobbled up by the power trust." On the score of regional valley authorities and river basin devel opment,' the Democrats had this to say: "We pledge the continued full and unified regional development of the water, mineral, and other natural resources of the nation, recognizing that the progress al ready achieved under the initiative of th Democratic Party In the arid and semi-arid states of the west, as well as In the Tennessee Valley, is only sn indication of still- greater results can be accomplished-Decline with minerals and fuels, the platform pledged policies fur uicr encouraging exploration and development of additional re serves, and addlni to thu national stockpile.

Some of them come from good homes and their p.irents do not know of their conduct on these overnight trips. Over the Fourth of July weekend there was an unaccountable amount of destruction done to personal property all around the lake. Homeowners reported destruction and theft; one of the recreation buildings In a summer youth camp had all of the windows broken; a privately owned boat, had a hole chopped In the bottom and side, and numerous other damages were reported.
