"... We can eonauer Cotnmus ism If we hsve a lesdershlp of high purpose ana moral stamina. leadership that draws strength irom us spiritual isitn." The OOP presidential candldste brought this message to Uie Irish and Roman cauiolic stronghold ol Boston after stoutly denying that ne nad made any commitments to win the presidency and maintain ing he still Is a "no deal" man. The Boston speech wss a warn ing against Communism and atatement thsl the mensce can be whipped only under a new leader ship In Washington. The whole Implication of the Seech was that the Truman ad ministration could not combat Uie menace but that a Republican ad ministration could do the Job.

Wayne Morse iR.-Ore.). said Tuesday he was olfered a "very high post" by the Truman administration sev eral months ago but turned It down because he thought a Republican should not serve In a Democratic administration. Morse told a reporter this was what he had In mind when he told the Portland Oregonlan In a tele phone Interview Monday that he had been offered a nign position. He said the Oregonlan was mis taken In interpreting his statement ns an Intimation that representa tives of Oen. Dwlght D. Elsenhow er had offered him a high post If he would support the Republican presidential nominee. Morse declined to say what Job .was offered him by the Democrats. However, It was understood that the post was the attorney general ship and that the olfer was made Inst Dec. 30. That was about three montlis before Attorney General J. Howard McGralh was fired by President Truman. Morse said he probably would make three speeches before elec tion day explaining why he does not support Eisennower. lie sain tnese would not be made under Demo cratic auspices. Morse said he intended- to identi fy himself In the future as a lib eral Republican. He said he planned to go to Ore gon after the election and make a speech titled "now It can be told," which "will show that nobody has been more a Victim of tho two party avslem than I nave." I will produce documentary evi. dence," he said, "to show I was offered a very high post by the Democratic administration and that I turned It down because I did not think a Republican should take it under ft Democratic administra tion."

The ordinance was approved by all four members of the council present Darren Miller, Wendell Smith, John McCulloch and Don Kenyon although some opposition to fluoridation was expressed by persons attending the council meet ing. Passsge of the ordinance doesn't mean Uiut Klamath Falls Is drink ing fluoridated water today, or will be In Uie next few weeks. The Oregon Water Corporation has cautioned going slow on fluorl dutlon all along, saying that It Is resdy to add fluorides to the water If It Is convinced thst Its customers want it. Opposition has not been greut, CONSTRUCTION The water company, before ready for fluoridation, will have to con struct a smsll bulli'jng in the vi cinity of Its Conger Street pumping plant, and Install Uie machinery necessary. Presumably there won't be any extra cast to the company's cus tomers. The ordinance provides no cost to the cliy. It aUo provides for dsily water checks by Uie local health department, . Fluoridation is now done by sev eral hundred cities and most nave shown a lessening of tooth decay among children over the years. II was approved locally by Uie vari ous medical and dental associa tions, PTA and other groups, as well as by the Bute Board ol Health and stale and national med ical and dental societies. OPPOSITION Opposition has arisen from a re ligious group, the Christian Scien tists, who consider It mass medica tion contrary to their beliefs. Last nlKht one man told, the City Coun cil that there was no conclusive evidence that fluoridation will do the things adherents aay It will, that It Is deleterious to other parts of Uie humsn body, and that fluor idation Is an Invasion of private, basic lights and "the opening wedge to socialised medicine. He also hinted that legal action, an Injunction, possibly could be ob tained to prevent iiuoriaauon. A woman protesting fluoridation said that It should be put up to vote of the people, uist uie cnem Ical used (probably sodium fluor ide) is a chemlcsl poison of me type used In rat poison. City Draws Pool Plans The eitv Is resdy to draw a con tract with two local architectural firms calling for plans and super visory services In the construction of a public swimming pool lor which a $150,000 seven-year tax levy was voted last Msy.

Paddock specialises In a par ticular type swimming tank, sub merged, with a rounded bottom and constructed of a pressure forced material called gunite, which the company said is more Impervious than most materials and never has to be painted. As planned, Uie pool would have two diving boards, probably one- meter and three-meter. , Acceptance of the Paddock-type pool was the recommendation of members of a swimming pool com mittee appointed by Uie Mayor sev eral months sjfo to study various types of pools. In addition, to the swimming tank, a wading pool Is planned for smaller children, plus a bath house and sun deck.
