TOUR Friday af ternoon took us behind the wooden curtain of the Puckett Building, into the no man's land of Payless Drug', and pest the shell crater of Coleman's Union Service station. The tour was better than plain sidewalk engineering. The conclu sion was that there's life in the old gal (Klamath Falls) yet. ' In spite of Star Dug putting the finishing touches on making a new building out of old In Linkville an in spite of Jake Rente coming along with a brand new building with marble and all for his Jewel ry store in Hot Springs, Klamath Falls is still in the lead in the Intramural competition of newer nd better stores and offices. We met Mrs. O. K. Puckett on the wooden sidewalk alongside the wooden curtain and she graciously suggested a peek Inside which made It legal so to speak. The Puckett Building, of course, Is the one on the corner of Sev enth and Klamath which has been boarded up since the exit of Fine Btreet Market. All was quiet In the corner suite -suite Is the correct term for this super duper office space except for the hum of a vacuum clean er. It turned out to be Mrs. Law rence Slater on the business end, with Larry supervising. This suite which will be unveiled Monday morning, will be Jointly occupied by the Slater Insurance Agency and Pat Howes, Realtor. The association Is geographic, not a business connection. n, further turned out that Slater finally got pushed out of the U.S. Bank Building by need of more space for Bill Hugalns et a . and decided thai on this, his twentieth anniversary here, It was time to go ursi class.

CLARK No. 28 Today's question: To what extent did tho Hudson's Bay Company en gage In the raising of livestock? The raising of livestock at Fort Vancouver kept pace with the farming operations. When Dr. Mc laughlin took charge in IBM he had a small herd of about thirty cattle h .h had been transferred from Fort Ocorge. In succeeding vears cattle were Imported Irom Califor nia and thus the site of the herds ste-dily Increased until in 1837 Mc LouRhlln reported nearly seven nun. dred cattle. By this time the live stock at Fort Vancouver alto in cluded horses, sheep and hogs, in 1841 an American visitor, Charles Wilkes, estimated that there were about 3,000 head of rattle, 3.5O0 sheep and over 300 horses. At anv rale it Is known Hint Ule herds and nuns were 01 sutlicient sise during the eighteen forties to supply tne needs of the foil, and to make pos sible the sending of livestock to outlying posts and the lending ol cattle to the AmericarTseltlers In the Willamette Valley. James Douglas, who s left in charge at Fort Vancouver in mi while McLoughlin went to London on furlough, was much interested in sheep. He wrote to Governor Simpson recommending that few Merino or Cheviot rams be sent out from London on the annuil sup ply ship.

Coos Bay to be exact, came Tommy O'Dwyer, the one time Commerlcal Finance manager here. He tells us that the Coos Bsy area is fine but not the place for living that Klam ath Falls is. Too much wind and fog. "I bought a twenty-six foot boat figuring on doing some fish ing," says Tommy, "And I haven't been able to make It across the br for the past month." Fine life. Better move back into the Banana Belt, Tommy. The other chap, and I think he's still around, is Jimmy Hamilton. Came here with the Navy, stayed when his retirement went through, tried his hand at a number of things around and then moved down' to the Sunny South. Los Angeles is now his home town, but he, too, is threatening to come back to Cod's country. THE ROUNDS first class. There's lots of brick and plastic and stuff put into the remodeling. We wondered if Puckett, the tim ber beast, was being true-blue to the lumber Industry until looking into the next quarters on the Pine Street side. There, true to the street name and true to the origin of the building owner, the finish is knotty pine. All was quiet there, also, save an unidentified gentleman on the telephone. We didn't disturb him. having learned previously from Mrs. Puckett that BUI Owlsey, the accountant, will soon be moving in.

' OWES HAVE- HAL BOYLE NEW YORK Tne man who saved Korea was "The Little Bull dog." He was Lieut, uen. waiton n. Walker, first of the 8th Army's four commanders In the 31-month Korean campaign. And when the military history of that frustrating operation Is writ ten It must show "Johnny" Walker crucial figure. One wrong guess by him and the war would have been over within the first two months. We would have been shoved off the peninsula. Most generals prefer to fight cautiously. A few generals like to gamble boldly In attack. A truly fine general Is one able to fight with equal genius either on the offensive or on the defensive. "The Little Bulldog," a squat, plump, square-Jawed Texan who looked more like a small town businessman than an Army com mander, proved before his death he could do both superbly well Johnny"' Walker won his fame as leader of the. 30th "ghost" corps, which spearheaded the 3rd Army In Europe In the second World War. Gen. Patton was so pleased with his bold victories that he personally pinned on him the three-star insignia of a lieutenant general which Gen. Eisenhower had given Patton. Oen Walker liked to recall that time In the early days in Korea, which he commanded surely one of the weakest armies ever to take the field anywhere. His task was to retreat as slowly as possible while regrouping the shattered South Korean forces and building up the American corps as fast as troops could be ferried to the front. He was unable to man a continuous battleline. He was out of everything men, tanks, anti tank weapons, artillery. Walker saved the day by a de fensive that amounted to an of fensive. He shuttled regiments and battalions and companies around the front In a continuous raszle- dazzle, throwing the enemy off balance b y magically showing strength where they least expected it. At one time his force was so completely committed that if guer JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON im This is an I ABC on the national debt limit which President Elsenhower has Just asked Congress to Increase from 275 billion dollars lo ran billions. Congress bv law sets the limit on how much this country can be In debt. When government expenses ex ceed Income which comes mo.vlv from taxes. It can make up the deficit by raising taxes or borrow ing money from banks and other sources, including sale of bonds to individuals. There Is no talk ot raising taxes now. Nor Is a tax increase, at least on individuals, likely next year, which Is an election year. In fact. Individual Income taxes are scheduled to go down about 10 per oent at the end of 1953 So, since the government's ex penses are out of line with its income, Eisenhower has asked approval from Congress for some more borrowing. With the astronomical outlays of World War II, government spend ing shot up, far outrun.nng gov ernment income, even . though taxes were at an all-time hicll in this country. . During the war Congress put the limit at which this country could be In debt at 300 billion dollars Since this country was determined to win, no maltcr the cost. Con gress would have boosted the limit higher, if necessary. But It was never nccesarv. The debt never got bevond JJ79.800. 000.000. Then, with the wai ended and government expenses taklne a fast live, government Income began to be greater than Its year ly expenses. The government started to pav off some of the debt. In June. 1948 Congress reduced the debt limit from 300 billions to 275 billions, which Is still the limit. In the years alter 194S the debt was finally scaled down lo 353 billions. Then came the Korean War in mid-1950. Up went the expenses, which exceeded Income. To meet Ihe expenses Congress raised taxes. That still didn't fill the bo. Sn the government beRan oorrowine money again. Right now Ihe public People DO Read SPOT ADS O -you ore! 3 rlllas behind the line had attacked his own headquarters he wouldn't have been able to summon another platoon to defend it. "You won't find that in the books, will you?" he told a corres pondent later. "They would say you were crazy to fight a war without reserves. But that's what we are doing because we have to." His famous "Stand or die" order when he created the Naktong River defense line seemed hopeless. But Walker rode about the front like a madman, standing up in his arm ored Jeep and gripping a handrail as he gave orders. The line bent, but never broke. "The Little Bulldog" had to strain his line to the utmost by pulling out the 1st Marine Division, which was to land behind the enemy in the Inchon invasion on Sept. IS. His weakened army then took its heaviest blows and still held. Tha day after the Inchon landing Walker immediately switched to the offensive again and predicted the war "should quickly be over" unless the enemy was re-inforced. Did he foresee the entry of the Red Chinese? Certainly he was well aware of the possibility. Walker smashed fiercely through the North Korean crust before him, and in the kind of pursuit he en Joyed raced clear to the Yalu River before ambushing Chinese forced him to draw back. It is questionable whether Walker thought the later "wjn.the-war" offensive in November was wisely conceived but he carried out his orders. When it was smashed, he pulled back 120 miles in an orderly retreat. "My army isn't whipped," he said, almost wistfully. "I'm proud of the way It came out of the offen sive. And we will fight again." But death prevented him from seeing his army't resurgence. Iron ically, he died In a traffic accident, as had his idol, Gen. Patton. He was killed Dec. 23, 1950, when his jeep crushed into a truck driven by a South Korean soldier. "The Little Bulldog" now sleeps In Arlington Cemetery. But his true monument is the American 8th Army he welded in Korea, debt Is up around 272 'i billions or 2i billions below, the legal limit. The truce in Korea came last Sunday. But Uie government's ex penses for fighting the war, re arming and foreign aid are un ning high. They will continue to do so, except fo actual war ex penccs. A debt limot of 375 billions when the actual debt is only 272'i bil lions might seem all right if it was not for a little thing called the cash balance. Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey estimates government spending runs sound 6 billions a month and, he says, the cash bal ance the govenment has on hand In any one month should run around 6 billions, too. But between now and January he figures, the cash balance will go down. For example: Corporations must pay most of their taxes in the first hilt of the calendar year and only a small part In the last half. Coporation taxes account for nearly one-third of the govenment's Income. So this means, according to the administration estimates: Between July and December the government will be taking In about 27 billions while snendlne about 37'b billions, leaving the government with a 6-month deficit of about 10i3 billions. Humphrey speaks of wanting safer balance on hand, meaning enough money to pay the Rovenv ment s debts every month. To bridge the deficit, money will have to be borrowed. Since the debt now is 272U bil lions and the legal deb: limit is 275 billions, there is only a margin of 21, billions for borrowing. Once the limit was reached and if the government still did not have enough money to pav lis debts, it would have to bresk the law bv borrowing beyond the limit or it would have to renege on Its obli gallons. mmii etjr But.

JORDAN, M.D. A disease not previously dis cussed in this column goes by the tongue-twisting name of coccidioido mycosis. A discussion of it has been requested by Mrs. J. P. and others, . Tne disease has been encount ered most often in southern Cali fornia, but has been found in other parts of the southwest, and ap pears to be spreading slowly east ward. Aside from Uie fact of its apparent gradual spread, it may be of Interest to people living in other parts of the continent be cause there are so many military camps in the southwest in which young men and women irom an over may spend some time, and consequently become exposed. Coccidioidomycosis is caused by a fungus. This fungus has been lound in members of the rodent family and in the soil. Human be ings may be attacked from this fun gus either through a break In the skin or more commonly, by inhal ing it. It Is not spread directly from person to person, though there have oeen a good many laboratory In fections in those who have been studying the organism. When acquired by inhalation, there may be no symptoms what soever, but if the reaction to the iniectlon is severe enough, cough, loss of appetite, fever, headache, and other symptoms mucn nice those of tuberculosis of the lung are likely to occur. Quite often, after a week or two skin lesions which are sort of bumps, may ap pear. This kind of coccidioidomy cosis is sometimes known as San Joaquin fever, desert fever, or "the bumps." , It is encouraging to be sble to say that the outlook for those at tacked by the disease is generally good. Most recover fairly prompt ly without any particular treat ment. Occasionally, someone gets a form which is pretty generalized or which attacks the meninges lin ing the central nervous system, and under such circumstances the outlook is poor. Also, the chronic type which oc curs from time to time is difficult to treat because there does not ap pear to be as yet any drug or med icine which is particularly effec tive. Like some other diseases which are referred to In this column from time to time, coccodioldomycosis Is at present largely a regional prob lem and does not amici an enor mous number of people. What the future will bring, however. Is an other matter, and the spread of co cidioidomycosis must be watched with care.

When McMichael said he didn't know him, Johnson said' "Take a good look." "I took a good look," McMichael replied. "I don't recognize him bv hif name or by hlfi appearance." McMichael asked Rep. Velde to let him question Johnson, but Vel de turned down the request. McMichael repeated his charge of Thursday that Johnson "is a perjuror."

'Bruce Biossat Most Americans probably will react happily to the news that one obstacle in the path of Princess Margaret's happiness Is about to be removed, though this by no means yet assures her the chance to marry the man who evidentlv is her choice. The stumbling block Is a law that would make Margaret regent If Queen. Elizabeth 11 died before Prince Charles, now four, was able to assume the throne. Indications re that the law will now be changed, with Margaret's respon sibilities as regent presumably shifted to the Queen's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. Margaret is reported in love with Capt. Peter Townsend, RAP hero now British air attache at the embassy in Brussels. Rut he Is divorced, and the ruling Church of England disapproves the remarri age ot any divorced persons. No member of the royaf family could serve even briefly as ruler If mar ried to a divorced individual. In Magaret's case, a change In the regency law will not end her troubles. She is 22, and until she is 25 she cannot marry anvone without her sister's consent. Since Ihe Queen is sworn to uphold the tenets of the church, It Is not easv to see how she can authorize Mar garet's marriage to Townsend even If she is not to be regent-designate. The dilemma must sadden manv ordinary family folk, for the rule seems to be working undue hard ship upon the Princess. Townsend Is the offended party In his divorce, so no blame may be fairly placed against him . When Acting Prime Minister But ler announced the government's in tention to seek a change In the law. he referred to the "deplorable speculation and gossip" that have attended public discussion of Mar garet's romance. Undoubtedly he was speaking ac curately. Yet evidence is strong that the popular interest was root ed not In a desire for cheap gossip material, but In deep sympathy for a handsome girl who might be trapped in the cruel lonellnesj of royalty. In Britain, in the Common wealth, in many parts of the globe, there was rejoicing when F.lizahoih who faced a much surer burden of duty, found so suitable a life com panion as Philip. For her sister, Margaret, people must certainly wish as much per sonal happiness. With dignity and devotion she has served her coun try well, in the royal tradition. She ought to be entitled to live no according to the dictates of her heart. Your claims paid with a smile. Hans Norland Insurance. 627 Pine St. Thone 2-2315. it lL. PONDFROSA ROOM t P. M. ro 2:30 A.

Hugh Pruett Only one of the naked-eye plan ets is now visible in the early evening sky. As soon as the heav ens are sufficiently darkened, yellow Saturn, the world which is surrounded by a flat luminous iin, glows low In the west-southwest. Not far below Saturn the bright star Spica forms a nice pair tjilh the planet. These two have been together In the evening sky since early spring. Mars and Mercury are now ris ing only shortly before sunrise but are too near old Sol lor observa tion. However, early risers or those who have east windows near their beds will have a treat in the magnificent planets Jupiter and Venus, which are now rising about three hours before the sun a little north of east. In the dawn they are about due east and well up above the sky line. Venus is the brighter and lower of the pair. Since nowhere in the sky la there any star like object as bright as either of these, the sight Is splen did. F:r the bright stars of evening let us observe one and one-half hours after sunset. Spica hss al ready beei. mentioned. Very high in the west the splendid orange star Arcturas glows at the base of the Kite, Smaller stars making up this figure extend upward . and northward form Arcturas. Low in the sky, slightly west of due south, the red star Antares (An-TAY-rez) is twinkling warmly. This bright object is the pulsating heart of the celestial Scorpion. Note the position of the famlllsr group constituting the Big Dipper. These seven stars of medium brightness are now high In the northwest and are circling down ward toward the north. The Dip per stars form the hips and tail of the much larger group, the Great Bear. The entire constellation is now in a favorable position for tracing the animal figure.
