A SNOOPING. 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.

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.

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

FRAfJX ALBEftTSON,
The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. 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.

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.

question around the circle from anv
position at which we may start and
the question sun remains uie aic
regardless of the direction we take

only become a meaningless Jumble
of un-coordinated ideas. ,
Woods and waters have been
fairly well defined in the public
mind: however, when we speak of
wildlife, the average person im
mediately jumps to the conclusion
that the word refers to those ani-

man's preference. Such an opinion
Is indeed an error ior me ierm
"wildlife" Is far more inclusive
than such a narrow interpretation.
"Wildlife," as used In conserva
tion, means "all" life from the
most minute of soil animalcules to
the giant cetaceans of the oceans.
Soil likewise has not been so well
defined. In fact, it has been the
very last of the "building stones '

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. The two
outer stars of the bowl ef the
dipper, the Pointers, are prac
tically in line with the North
Star.
Only slightly east of overhead,
the white star Vega is bright. This
brilliant object together with five
faint stars near it form the Harp
of Orpheus. A little below and
northward from Vega, we find
Deneb at the head of the Northern
Cross. The cross is lying on Its
side with the foot toward the
right. It is easily traced among
the fainter stars south of Deneb.
High in the southeast Altatr; the
brightest star in the Eagle, is
easily Identified as it stands be
tween two "guard stars", one
above and one below it.
As there Is now no moon In
the evening sky, this is a splendid
time to study the faint band of
the Milky Way as It stretches
high across the heavens from the
north-northeast horizon to the deep
south.
