Said True
WASHINGTON Wl House In
ventlgutors received a sworn state
ment Thursday from Federsl
Judge George H. -Moore that Uie
Justice Department Interlered with
a grand Jury Investigation of tax
scandals at St. Louis last year.
Moore quoted Uie late Drake
Watson, the U.S. attorney at the
time, as saying Ellis N. Slack,
Uirn a Justice Department tax at
torney, "wanted" the partlnl re
port the grand Jury returned.
That report gave the tnx col
lectur's olllce a clean bill of health
and has since been termed a
"whitewash" by one of Uie Jurors.
Black Is now noting assistant at-tbiney-genernl
In charge of Uie
tnx division.
In the witness chair before the
House Judiciary subcommittee in
vestigating tho Justice Depart
ment, Black had Just denied vig
orously that he was in any way
responsible for the pnrtlal report.
Ho declared;
"I wish to emphatically state that
the Idea of a parlinl report wns
not mine and that I hnd nothing
to do with Its drafting or Its con
tents," Black had denied In advance, too,
that he ever told Watson ha
"wanted" the partial report.
After the partial report was re
turned, Moore ordered the grand
Jury to make a further -Investigation.
In the end It returned a num
ber of Indictments. James P. Fin
negnn, St. Louis tsx collector Knd
close friend of President Truman,
was Indicted snd convicted of mis
conduct In office.

Pool Finance
May Be Eased
TTie problem ol llnanclng con
struction of a municipal swimming
pool nere In Klamath Falls may
hsve been eased somewhat bv an
opinion ot Cltv Attorney Henrv Per
kins that money can legally be bor
rowed from other city funds which
aren't being used.
Cllv voters okaved a tax lew lo
pay lor a swimming pool last May,
but Uie 1160.000 the lax levy Is
expected to raise won't come In
In a lump sum. Instead. It will be
seven years before the full amount
oi tne lax reaches Uie city treas
ury. If the pool la to be built anv
time soon, the builder undoubtedly
will want his money as he goes
along, so Uie problem Is lo some
how raise- the money In advance
against the expected tax levy in
come. The vote last Mav was for a tnx
levy, not for a bond Issue, so Uie
monev can't be raised bv bond Is
sue. Bsnka won't loan on the whole
seven-veers' lew Income at once,
out win loan only on a snort-time
basis, one year's proceeds at a
Ume.
At a meeting of the swimming
pool committee last night. Perkins
gave his opinion that borrowing
from existing cltv funds would be
legal. If the swim pool levy In
come is earmarked to oav back
the borrowings and If the divisions,
oi tne city government controlling
uie ouut-up funds agree.
There is enough monev Idle in a
couple of funds to build Uie swim
ming pool. If such borrowing is
permitted. A mausoleum fund con
tains some $63,000, and another
M.O00 earmarked for use on Vet
eran's Memorial Park currently is
Invested In bonds and drawing in
terest. Those two amounts Dlus the an
ticipated receipt of some 522.958
from the swimming pool lew when
property taxes are paid this fall,
and around to, 000 already on hand
In a swimming pool fund would be
enough to finance construction of
the pool.

Election Cost
By HALE SCARBROUGII
County Clerk Charlie DcLnp hns
begun Uie tremendous job of get
ting rendy for the Nov. 4 general
election.
The voting will cost Klnmnth
Comity anywhere from $12,000 to
$15,000, the figure based on past
election expenses, or probably
around $1 a vote cast.
The county will have about 21.000
registered voters but also esti
mated on- pnst election experience
only about 12.000 or so of them
will take the trouble to vote, A
turnout of 16,000 ev n at a general
election would be exceptional.
However, an official bnliot must
be provided for every registered
voter, and a sample ballot also, In
case ho wants to study one before
the election. At least half as many
snmple ballots must be printed as
official ballots.
Thercforo, with Klnmnth County
having some 21,000 registered
voters, the county will have lo

Local Market
News To Start
A livestock market reporting
service is to get underway here
next week lor a mne-momn trial
period, reporting prices paid week
ly on various beef grades at the
local livestock auction.
The auction is held weekly at the
Klamath Livestock Commission
yards.
Extension Agricultural econo
mist Marion Thomas, Oregon State
College, explained the report setup
to a gauiering ol larm, livestock
and financial representatives last
night In tne county agents .office.
Funds have been made avail
able, Thomas said, for the trial
reporting period which Is planned
to put out a market report much
like Uie one which has been pub
lished for Uie Ontario auction for
some time.
The report will be carried In
The Herald and News following
the Wednesday auction, and is to
be broadcast over KFLW.
John Landers. OSC animal hus
bandry department, who Just com
pleted a session as Judge for the
Rotary Junior Livestock Show here,
will work up the weekly report.
After a trial period, plans may be
made to Incorporate the reporting
service within the local organiza
tion.
Ed Cole, OSC livestock market
reporting service, said an em
phasis has been placed on uniform
grading ot cattle throughout the
country, ln that way, he said, a
price on a local "good or ' cnoice'
grade animal can be compared to
the same grades elsewhere, know
ing those grades are as closely as
possible the same.
Eventually the market reporting
mav develop into a Basin-wide, all-
crop reporting service, covering all
diversities crops in uie nasin area.
There has been talk for some
Ume of potato, barley and alstke
clover market reporting here. IndL
cations were last night that would
be the next step in a reporting
service here, perhaps with an of
fice or full-time reporter working
here.
A try-out potato-market report
was recenUy made for several
weeks at Ontario, reporting Idaho
and Washington potato prices and
shipments. Several of those reports
were published In The Herald and

The livestock reports are to be
mailed weekly to nil persons re

payer sometimes does some dream
ing, led off with the suggestion that
it may be advisable someday to
run the schools Uie year around,
possibly six days a week and even
with staggered morning and after
noon sessions In order to make Uie
school plant handle more pupils
without too much additional capital
investment.
Still dreaming, he suggested that
the time may come when instead
of adapting the system of promo
tion from grade to grade to Uie
slowest we may find it advisable
to permit those capable of doing so
to progress as rapidly as possible,
thus shortening their schooling per
lod and providing for a still further
accelerated output of pupils from
the existing physical school plant.
He spoke of the avid curiosity
of all children up to school age,
and asserted that too often this in
herent thirst for knowledge is killed
when they enter school. Education
al dreaming, he said, must-include
the hope that gaining knowledge
can be kept as fascinating through
all the school years as it is in the
case of the curious pre-school child
that is constantly questioning its
parents as to the why and the how
of life.
He also said it is not too fantastic
to hope that Uie schools can learn
to teach "straighter" thinking
that is, logical thinking from known
