By BILL

eeple have been killed In local
traffic accidents.
r Many of the wrecks have been
head-on collisions.
; That brings the total of dead to
nineteen for our area. And still
two and a half months left in 1952.
It fs a form of notorletv that
Klamath County could well do with

the grislv history of bloody death
on the highways of the nation.
And there is seldom any excuse
except carelessness for these leth

And yet year after year our death

It' got to stop somewhere. Some

Walter Belson, the director of
public relations for the American
Tj-ucking Associations, made a
wonderful talk to the Rotary Club
Friday.
Ht told the story of the latest
phase of the American economic
revolution; how the modern devel
opment of industry and agriculture
is interlocked with the movement
of goods by trucks; how our major
highway systems are behind the
seeds for the essential movement
of goods and people.
He made an enlightening talk
(reported elsewhere in the paper)
without getting into controversial
subjects, as he promised at the
outset.
But the sixty four dollar ques
tion, of what formula should be
used for the truckers to pay their
share of the upkeep and moderni
zation of highways, still needs to
be discussed.
There are measures on this sub
ject to be Toted on by the people
of Oregon in November. This sub
ject can stand a lot of discussion
and argument between now and
then.
It said in the paper Thursday
that the Fish and Wildlife Service

NfcW YORK ( Every time 1
meet Royal Toner, the noted sea
farmer, he says:
. "If all the offspring of two
'. oysters survived for five genera
tions, they'd make a mass as big
at the whole earth and then where
would you be?"
This always makes me so un
easy that I rush to the nearest
restaurant and swallow a half doz
en oysters raw. If these little liv
ing pearl factories think they can
gang up and crowd me out of my
world well, I can live by the law
of the fang, too.
This year, however, Toner, who
operate 6,000 acres of underwater
agriculture in Long Island Sourt
and Delaware Bay. said I could
worry about something else. The
, oyster Is no longer a threat.
"The supply of oysters has been
very slim lately much below nor-
i mat," said Toner, a big, booming
volced man who is board chair-
V man of the National Fisheries In
stitute, an organization of the na
tion's leading commercial fishing
firms.
- "It's all part of the balance ol
nature. The weather conditions at
the time of spawning have been
unfortunate for the last few sea
sons hot without a. breath of
wind."
. As he explained it, the baby
oyster is a free-swlmmlng minia
ture tadpole for a few days, then
sinks to the bottom and anchors its
tall to an old piece of shell or
rock. But If the sun is too hot and
' the ses too calm, the temperature
rises, the oxygen level of the wa
ter falls, and the little oyster

i As a result of bad weather and
, overfishing, the bivalve, far from
y being a villainous menace to man
i kind, right now is fighting hard
- for self-preservation.
: "We've only had a 6 to 7 million
bushel oyster crop the last two
years," said Toner. "Forty years
sgo Maryland alone produced that
many, and oysters were the No. 1
seafood crop.
"Now they have been passed by

acres of marshland on the west
side of Agency Lake to be added
to the 8160 acres of the present
refuge there.
The move gets the hearty com
mendation of this column U.
The IF, and it's a big one, is
if the marshland is being bought
for the purpose of providing a
public hunting ground for duck and
goose hunters.
Birds and hunters have been
steadily squeezed, year after year,
by the ever increasing agricultural
development of the country. It is
insurance ior tne tuture to bet
aside now part of the remnant of
marshland left here in the Basin.
But there's just one big reason
for providing further for the birds,
and that's to insure the future of
the recreation of hunting.
The 12'5 thousands acres would
be big enough to make a good
public hunting grounds. It would
provide one in the Oregon end of
the Basin. The ones we now have
are in California.
We'd like to know the plans of
the Fish and Wildlife 6ervice for
this property.

said. "We don't know which they

oysters aren't good to eat during
the summer months, when they
spawn.
"Actually they are better then
they taste sweeter." said Toner.
He believes the legend arose be
cause one variety of North Sea
oyster, wnen bitten into in the
spawning period "tastes like a
spoonful of sand."
But commercial growers would
just as soon have their customers
consume oysters on the shell only
during the months with an 'R' In

Tlie renewal of efforts to oblsln
a settlement ol the Iranian oil dis
pute probably ouulit to be viewed
aa heartening. But thus lar Pre
mier Mossadegh has been making
the same old noises and hopes of
real results Is slim.
Prime Minister Churchill and
President Truman ollered fresh
proposals because they know Iran
is In difficult financial straits
through loss of markets for Its oil.
'the Wel could use tlie oil. But
the primary Impulse toward settle
ment Is the lear that a tottering
Iranian economy might make the
nation easy prey to a Moscow-Inspired
Communist coup.
These problems, ol course, have
existed all along. The Churchill
Truman offer at this time sug
gests that the West leels Mossa
degh might be more approachable
now that he has felt the heavy
financial pressure of the past sev
ernl months.
But Mossadegh has shown no
sign of readiness to give way. He
knows the West trembles at the
prospect his government might col
lapse and be replaced by a Red
regime. Tnerciore ne seems 10 ice,
that time Is on his side, thst If he
can Just hold out long enough the
West will conceoe nis inn lerm.
Those terms are stiff. Undoubt
edly he wants a much bigger loan
from America man inn iu '"
lion nronosed now by Mr. Truman.
More than that, In his antl-Brltlsh
furv he wants absolutely no con
cession of any sort to the British
who built and managed tne Iran
Ian oil facilities and now find
themselves out In the cold.
The Churchill-Truman plan wouia
submit all questions of compensa
tion to the British for settlement
by the World Court. Mossadegh has
relccted that solution flatly.
As a matter of fact, he has pub
Pjly rejected the whole program
In a drastic, three-page statement
that appeared to shut the door to
future negotiations. But. In accord
with past practice, Ironlan officials
have at the same time privately
attempted to keep the door to ne
gotiations open. .
Mossadegh seems to believe that
this little game Is shrewd and Is
bound to pay off. He behaves as If
he holds all the cards and merely
needs to nlnv them. But he nlrcBdv
has made one malor mistake. He

ors Union of the Pacific on the
charge that the union had atlrred
up the crew ol the Llberlan vessel
Klvlera to mutiny In port.
The crew of mixed nationalities,
haa alleged that conditions aboard
the vessel are unbearable, They
ask to be returned to Bremen,
Germany, where they signed on
six months ago.
But they had signed on for two
years and their refusal to take
orders from the captain consti

The ship's agent, General Steam

Monday a federal court order
would be sought to have the crew

thought this was intended to result
in removal of a clew's picket sign
and return of work crews to the
vessel. Repairs and lining for
