Besides, In these days, little matter of 70 bucks now or lit bucks eight yesra from now frn't such a much. It merely means doing without ssy a suit oi clothes and niayu a good pair ol shoes. But wait. We're talking here only of the capital cost of building new school facilities. Let's dig a little deeper. The natlonsi Tax Foundation, a nrivate. non-profit research organ' (ration, tells us the FEDERAL Us load now amounts to Mil for every man, woman ana enna In me United Slates. When aisle and local taxes are added, the per capita tax burden amounts to M4 per year. This no per person needed RIOHT NOW for new public school elasarnoma nd the I1M per person that will ba needed by 1900 will have to be plied en top of the M4 Per person we're already punglln; un for taxes. That puts a, somewhat different tact on it. , Let's add soma more figures, In the psst two yesrs, tlie Tsx Foundation savs, federal per capita sea have GONE UP W per cent. Stale lax recelpta have gone up about 34 per cent ana local tax receipts have gone up lit per cent. Ho von see. we have to assume that by 160 total per capita taxes will be nulls a nine more wan (414 per person. Here's whst I'm driving at: As of now, we're using our school plant some eight or nine hours per dav FIVE DAYS per week and nine MONTHS per year. A tae- torv run on that basis would go broke In short order. Private busi ness linos mat it nss o une i CAPITAL PLANT throughout as much of the 24 hours as la humanly possible. I'm wondering If we aren't going to have to use our public school ?lanl more hours out of the dsy, more dsys out of the week nd more months out of the yesr than we've been doing In the psst, , I know that Idea Isn't popular. Bui. after all, facta are facta and dollars are dollars. With the bur den of taxation rising tantastlclly. I csn't help wondering If we're going to be able to go on sllorrt Ins to Ue the capital plant of our puhllr school system as INCOM PLETELY is we've been doing in the psst.

Tncy can say, "Hawk coming," or In a dlllerent sound, "Dog or danger around." The haby chick sayf. an equivalent ol. Hey, mom, I'm lost," and the hen can say, "Come here," or "Dinner's ready." The study of chicken language even suggests a sclentllio method of chicken stealing of which more in a moment. The sound signals of chickens were analysed by Dr. Nicholas Collins, soologlst now at Cornell University, and Prof. Martin Joos of the University of Wisconsin, In research at Wisconsin. The chicken "talk" was recorded by an electronic machine, the speetograph, w hi c h tranalstos sounds Into wavy lines on paper. The lines give an objective record ol the frequencies and Intensity, Prof, Joos made tin recordings and Dr, Collins made the Interpre tations, desorlbed todsy to the American Association for the Ad vancement of Science.

Aliirrf Powers. Eurona I Presi dent-elect Eisenhower said Tubs dsy he Is more convinced thsn ever that Western Europe must quickly build up Hi defenses. "My often expressed views en this mstter are not only unchanged but reinforced." Elsenhower said in a New Year's messsge io wn. Matthew B. Rldgway. auprcme al lied commander in Europe. Elsenhower, who aerved aa the first supreme Allied commsnder In Europe, said he could ee no alternative to a quick buildup. Elsenhower also told Rldgway we can hope that this year will mark decisive progress toward es sential goals." The statement appeared to back up Rldgwav's own demands for In creasing right now Western Eu rope's "dangerously Inadequate" defenses. At the Noith Atlsntic Council mrctlnR here two weeks ago. Al lied ministers cut In hslf Kids- way's 1053 budget for building air bases and olher military Installa tions In Europe. Ridgway criticised the action severely. The brood hen clucks as she walks, summoning her chicks to follow her. Dr. Colllss said. She gives about two clucks per second. When the hen discovers food, she clucks rapidly, about four clucks a second, to call her chicks to Join the least. At night, when she roosts, she gives a purring sound, lasting about l'i seconds, to bring all chicks under her wing. If a hawk appears, chickens hsve an alarm scream, loud and rau cous, Uiat sends chicks running to shelter. But If It's danger from the ground, a dog or a msn, the warn ing Is loud, repeated calls of a bit different frequency. The hen also seems to give an alerting call, low and rather brief and harsh, thst makes chicks stop and freese, Dr. Colllss said. This is a rapidly pulsed csll. As tests of the meaning of the various calls, the experimenters used rccorduig or artlflcsl sounds that showed the same apectograpb lines as did different signal calls of real chickens. . Tapping a pencil on a wooden table or cardboard box waa like the "come here" clucking call, ana attracted young chicks. And that is your tip on how to proceed with some aclcntiflo chick en stealing, I 200 Attend Dinner For Retiring Mayor Thompson Mayor Bob Thompson was the target lor a lot of good natured Joshing last evening at a testimon ial dinner attended by almost 200. The dinner In the Wills rd Hotel banquet hall was a no-host event which grew out of desires of some of Thompson's friends to honor him for his four years' service as mayor. Thompson did not seek reelec tion this year and is to be suc ceeded Jan. 1 by Psul Landry. The mayor-elect was ill and could not attend last night's dinner. Mediord's Msycr Dlsmond Flynn was at the head table both as' a close friend of Thompson and rep resentative of the Oregon League of Municipalities, of wrucn Thomp son wss a director. Vern Owens, who was co-emcee with Busx Larkin. read telegrams and letters from many other may- ora and olllclais complimenting Thompson on his attainment as msyor. Hank Semon, Klamath's veteran state looislator. made a brief talk in which he ribbed the mayor about his isvorlmt of daylight time, a subject Semon and Thompson have Pair Escape Lakeview Jail Two men who sswed their way out of the Lake County Jail yes terday are still ar large. Thev are Oscar ie uumrow, 44. and Kenneth Dwlght Biggs. 27. The men are believed to have stol en a 1040 Chevrolet coupe, owned by Berl Maxwell, from Laxeview yesterday. Slate Police had a report that the car was spotted near Burns last night. Outlirow was held for trial on charges of safe burglary and lar eenv from a building. He was ar. rested Dec. 1 in connection with a 13.903 aafe burglary at UiKeview, Another man held in lall at Lake view In connection with the same burglsry. Lee L. Bryant, 23. did not escape. Bryant was arrestee here in Klamath Falls Dec. 11 and has admitted the safe cracking. Biggs was held on a charge ol larceny by bailee. He had been in the Lake County Jail since Dec. 33. 'Grandma' To Plead Innocent L08 ANGELES Ift-Mrs. Ethel Arata, the so-cslled grandma bank bandit, will plead Innocent to bank robbery, her attorney says, on the ground she acted under an uncon trollable love for the human race. Thts defense was outlined yester day by Atty. Josn Martin after an hour-long conference with her 53-year-old client. ' Irs. Arata, whose father was the late Robert Calls, New York multi millionaire. Is charged with three counts of bonk robbery. Catts lost hlr. fortune In the crash of 1929. The famed Duncan slRters of the stage. Rosetta and Vivian, were turned away from the Jail. They were trying to see Mrs. Arata, who sang the lead In their "Topsy and Eva" buck In 1923. Miss Martin told newsmen: "I am convinced she committed the robberies under the uncontrollable nit irresistible Impulse of love for people Just people." Mrs. Arata had told newsmen she had given much of her booty away. . REDS EXECUTED TATPEH. Formosa ll 8lx con victed Red agents were executed here Tuesday, bringing to 67 the ... U .,,, . n . .

With an assist from Red Bus&man, Semon presented the mayor wlib a lantern, hockey stick and large rubber ball for use on the golf course. . Mayor Flynn, of Medford, got off the slickest trick of the eve ning when he with touching ser- loudness presented Thompson with l- 1 . - r ' . . r parent value ot the gift until he nnauy resnzea ii was lime more than a large chunk of glass. Dr. C. J. Cox pointed out that Thompson would no longer. ive City Council meetings on Monday evenings and gave the mayor a hank of yarn and some knitting needles for his Monday evenings' leisure. On the serious side, Frank Tuck er, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, presented Thompson with a certificate of appreciation aigned by many of the persons stlendini; the dinner. Ex-mayor Johnny Houston led several songs with Frank Tucker at the piano. A parody on Jingle Bells, written by Bob Mest, fea tured six "soloists" who were Mest., Lois Serruys, Bill Spsngler, MUly Kamsoy, Ionian mills and Dia mond Flynn. The mayor's wife. Kathleen. wowed the crowd with several stor ies about Thompson. She said she might have consented for her hus band to seek reelection if her life as the mayor's wife hadn't been so uneventful. "The only time I wss ever asked to do anything." she said, "was when they invited me to pour at the opening of tne city-county rest rooms." Points Upped For Rotation TOKYO n Behind-the-llnes troops in Korea will need two ad ditional points for rotation home alter Jan. 1. Oen. Mark W. Clark's head quarters today gave lack of re placements from the U. 8. as the reason. There was no change In the rotation requirement of nine months service 36 points for soldiers at the front. Resf area troops will need 40 Instead of 3t points. Troops at the front get four rotation points a month. Those near the front get three and sol dfers far to the rear get two. Soldiers in Japan whose families are with them get one point month ly. Others get l'i. Clark. Far Eastern command er, and Washington have disagreed in recent months on the problem of adequate replacements. Penta gon pressure forced Clark on Oct. 22. to withdraw an order Increas ing the battle-line rotation require ment from 36 to 38 points. There was no comment on Clark's lstest order from the De fense Department or the Army. Saturday the Army's February draft call was upped to 3.000 men the highest quota since early In the Korean War. Clark's headquarters said the new Increase "Is made necessary because of lsck of receipt of suf ficient replacements from the United States to continue rotation In Janusry on the bssis of 38 (points) and still maintain the com bat efficiency of the Eighth Army and other Army units throughout tne command. It. added that rotation require ments after January would de pend upon replacements. "The decision to retain the rota tion criteria at 38 (points) for Zone A 'front line) is In line with the previously announced policy of giv ing primary consideration to troops in the forward combat lone who re dally exposed to the greatest dangers and hardships," the atate- mam. -J - --1 4IIVII.

LiL No. t01 Northwest Battered By High Winds By The Associated Press High winds that whipped up heavy seas kept the Columbia Riv er bar at Astoria closed Tuesday while power company crews sought to restore service along the Oregon coast. Six ships were anchored In the harbor at Astoria awaiting favor able weather to put to sea. Four others were due from Portland. Bar pilots expressed hope that ship movements could be resumed by afternoon as winds began moder ating. The Cape Disappointment weath er station reported wind in gusts up to 70 miles an hour Monday night. The Pacific Power and Light Co. said the blow knocked out serv ice in an area from Arch Cape norm to tne coiumoia. POWER OUT Hammond '.ras without power for five hours Monday night when a tree top ripped out a line. A burned out insulator interrupted power service at Warrenton. West Coast Air Lines was unable to land one plane at Astoria Monday night be cause of danger from fallen power lines. Service was back on sched ule Tuesday. A 9-foot tide Monday backed waters of Elk Creek to Highway 101 at Cannon Beach and a similar occurrence waa considered likely Tuesday. Heavy rains drenched tne coast. Brookings reported more than an inch of rain. Baker In Eastern Oregon had two inches ot new snow. The Weather Bureau continued storm warnings on the coast at 10 a.m. Tuesday for another 34 hours. Drouth Caused By Sunspots PORTLAND lA Because there haven't been as many sunspots aa usual, in the last three years, there is a droulh-hit region circling the world in the North Temperate zone. That is what Irving P. Krick of Denver, widely known aa a rain maker, said here Monday. Krick explained it this way tn an interview: Sunspots stem from great storms sweeping across the face of the sun. They cause varia tion in the amount of the sun's energy reaching the earth. Aa the sun's effect on the earth's atmos phere varies, the usual paths of the earth's air masses vary. The Pacific Northwest where rain clouds usually come in from the ocean in the fall, this year and last year too had clear skies in the autumn. As a result the river levels fell and there wast enough power generated by the region's great hydroelectric plant to meet the demand. And the cause, said Krick, was1 a lack of sunspots. While the Pacific Northwest's rain clouds failed to appear, parts of Canada and California had un usually heavy rains, he said, also tne result oi altered pauis lor uie air masses. The change from the usual wss .apparent elsewhere, too, he said. Krick said sunspot activity runs m cycles and it ia to be supposed that a normal number will return and put rainfall back on its normal basis. . . Krick was here to address a joint session of the Northwest Scientific Association and the Oregon Aca demy of Science. Brodie Twin Has Surgery CHICAGO Wl Rodney Dee Brodie, born a Siamese twin, Tuesday underwent the first of a series of plastic surgical proce dures designed remove mm from the critical list and to start him toward a normal life. Doctors said a large flap of scalp was placed over his brain, cover ing It approximately 78 per cent. The 15-month-old boy apparently tolerated the operation "fairly well." His condition was described as good as could be expected after the operation. The skin flap will provide a nor mal, permanent covering over Rodney s brain, wnicn was leu exposed when he was . separ ated from his Siamese twin broth er.

Roy M. cohn, special assistant to Attorney General McGranery, also testified the State Department gave a clean bill of health to soma "very bad" subversives on the U, N. staff. Cohn, testifying before a House Judiciary subcommittee, said tha continued presence of David Weln trauh. - as - director of economio stabilization and development for the U.

But Cohn eald lesser officials of the Justice Department tried to delay the investigation and the State Department "can only be blasted on the record thit evi. dence demands It." Cohn said the jury' report was held up last fall, over hi objec tions, partly because of fear In Washington ft might be used "as puuucaj iooioau.
