BILLBOARD
By BILL JKNKINS
We don't get around as much as
we used to, but once in a while a
little news sepps in from the out
bide. Ray Teliord dropped in to
pick up some pictures we had
promised to mail him several
months ago and shed a little more
light on the picture of Bud Mars
that we ran in connection with
the 5ulh anniversary ol powered
IliBht.
Seems that the dale was right and
all the rest, but that Mars didn't
fly up here from Alturas. His plane,
on early day Curtis, was crated
up and shipped to Klamath Falls.
When he got here he couldn't fict
the motor started and had to bor
row a gallon of ether in order to
rcL the mill going. After that
everything went off according to
6iiedule.
Mnrs met his death In Japan,
according to Ray, and not in Al
turas as was stuted. He was flying
with an exhibition tour there when
his plane crashed and wiped him
out.
Christmas in January at the Pas
tcga home In Pelican City, which I
understand is now known as Lake
port. Anyway, Mrs. Pastega
called us that her Christmas cactus,
which Is a peculiar sort of plant
fit best, was In full bloom so we
tsent the photographer out. And sure
enough it was. Pretty, too. Don't
know much about that particular
type of plant, but always enjoy the
ctrlve out through Pelican City.
All of which reminds us that we
haven't shed a public tear in
long time over the demise of Rab
bit Flat. The grave is now marked
by the thriving community of Wo
tus. But Wocus can never, in our
minds, carry the romance, the
background of the West or the ap
peal of Rabbit Flat.
Note to the highway commission:
The next time there are a few dol
lars left over in road funds, if such
a thing ever happens, please
keep in mind that there arc a lol
of us here in Klamath county that
would like to see the old Algoma
viewpoint restored. It strikes us
that a good deal of money has been
spent in and around the .slate to
set up similar viewpoints that don't
have nearly as much to offer.
After all, Upper Klamath is one
of the largest bodies of water in
the West, is. Oregon's largest lake,
situated on Oregon's most famous
highway and is seen by more
tourists and travelers than any
other lake in the state, including
Crater Lake, Klamath county's own
and the most famous lake in
the West.
Looking over a relense from the
army the other day we came
across a few pictures of one of our
far North weather stations. A little
shack crammed with several mil
lion dollars worth of instruments
and gadgets and sitting over in the
corner an old fashioned air-tight
coal burning stove. Seems that our
much vaunted progress just can't
get along without a few of the old
fashioned things. Ever try to get
along without a skillet? Or a belt?

Few things are harder than try
ing to appraise military develop
ments In Indo-Chlna.
The Communist Viet Minh reb
els now have swept across
tho Indo-Chinese stale of Laos to
the Thailand border. Earlier this
year they had pressed fairly close
to that boundary, so this further
thrust hardly comes as a startling
surprise.
Yet the new advance cannot be
viewed with comfort. The Reds arc
trying also to push southward to
ward the big city of Saigon. Some
French officers think that ulti
mately the rebels may turn the
main weight of their drive around
toward Hanoi, the northern capital.
How the French deal with these
pressures against the larger cent
ers will be the real measure of the
course of this war. Secretary of
State Dulles la evidently confident
that the French position is not ser
iously endangered, but in truth It
must be acknowledged that the
test has not yet come.
The whole Indo-Chinese situation
has been continuously bewildering
for a long time. Regularly, trje
French promise decisive action to
wind up the war. But the crucial
maneuvers alway seem Just
around the corner.
From the start the French task
lias been complicated by the un
resolved Issue of colonlalsim. Had
French leaders sensed political
realities In the beginning, they
might have moved to assure the
Indo-Chinese states genuine inde
pendence. Then any Communist re
bellion would have stood out clear
ly as a bold gesture of tyrannical
conquest.
As it is, the French never have
been able to shake the stigma Uint
Ihis Is a colonial war fought for
the benefit of the French empire.
Willi halting, grudging steps, they
have sought belatedly to satisfy
Indo-Chinese yearnings for inde
pendence. And they have been only
partly successful In enlisting the
nctive aid of natives In their mili
tary effort.
The Communist Viet Minh, on the
other hand, have managed to pose
with more than a little effect as
the champions of native indepen
dence against the interloping West
erner. Their creation of phony pup-:
pet states should not bo allowed to
obscure the fact that the rebel
forces have genuine popular support
In many places.
Probably It is too lato for the
French now to get full value out
of proper measures for Indo-Chinc
independence, and to fight a clean
ly defined war itgnlnst a would-bc
Rtd conqueror.
Nevertheless, the French mill
ought to take these moves, And
when they havo done so, they ought
also, in the light of the fresh
'realities, to provide their Western
nllles with a truly honest estimate
of the war In Indo-China. Obvl
ously the French have been less
than frank Up to now.
If Indo-Chlna can be saved for
freedom, we should understand
fully what it will lake to save it.
If It cannot be. we ought to know
that, too, without further ado.
JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON 'Pi President Ei- seven years.
senhower could justly claim before
Congress today that relations with
Russia appear slightly better than
wnen ne took oince a year ago,
but only very slightly.
Russia has agreed to talk about
Germany and the atom. This time
a yoifr ago the United States and
the Sovietc couldn't agree to talk
on anything.
It's possible but questionable that
some good will come of the talks.
Under stiff prodding the Russians
recently agreed to a Foreign Min
isters' meeting on Germany. Last
night they said they would start
making arrangements here for
talks on Eisenhower's atom pro
posal. 1
The president went before the
United Nations Dec. 8 with the sug
gestion the big powers discuss a
plan for pooling some of their
atomic materials and knowledge
for peaceful use.
He didn't offer a plan but sug
gested that talking might develop
one.
If the Russians, once the discus
sions start, follow the line they've
mentioned recently, the two coun
tries will probably wind up just
ueacuocKea as mey ve been fori
In 1946 the United States and
Russia offered opposite ways of
getting rid of the atom bomb.
The United States argued that be
fore the two countries could agree
on destroying atom bombs, each
must promise to admit inspection
teams to prevent cheating. Tne
Russians have balked ever since
at the inspection idea.
Eisenhower's suggestion was to
seek a new road: if the big powers
could just agree on a plan to make
peaceful use of the atom, maybe
Ihen they could go on and some day
agree on how to get rid of the
bomb.
World reaction to his proposal
was so good the Russians could
hardly refuse, although they de
layed their acceptance, perhaps to
find a way to put Eisenhower on
the defensive, where he had pushed
them.
When they did reply they com
plained he hadn't said anything
about outlawing atomic weapons.
They asked consideration for their
old bomb-banning plan, which
meant agreement to ban first with- j
out agreement to inspect..
Then last week Premier Malcn-
kov suggested agreement not to more men.
use the bomb, as o preliminary
to agreement on getting rid of the
bomb
But mere agreement not to use
the bomb in war wouldn't prevent
either country from continuing to
mnkc bombs as fast as it could,
just in case.
And both probpbly would. Neith
er, on a simple agreement without
inspection, could ever be sure the
other wouldn't suddenly break ils
word with a bomb attack.
At the moment the main military
advantage this country can be said
to have over Russia, and it seems
like only a temporary advantage,
is .that it has more bombs. It's
been making them longer.
Eisenhower is so reliant upon
them that he is cutting down the
size of the armed forces. This also
reduces expenses.
Unless it were sure, through in
spection, that Russia couldn't
make a sneak bomb attack, this
country couldn't very well step
making atomic weapons. That
would mean a complete change in
defense plans.
And, without the defense of the j
bomb, this country and its Western
allies would he at an immediate
and huge disadvantage. They can't
match, in size the armed forces
of Russia, the satellites, and Red
China, because the latter have
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D
In the presence of extremely
cold weather the blood ves
sels near the surface of the body
contract. This is nature's de
fense against too much coolness
since it helps to prevent large quan
tities of blood coming in contact
with the cold, and chilling the en
tire blood stream.
There are difficulties, however,
connected with this process since
if the cold contact with the skin
is continued, it may lead to frost
bile which has always been a tcr.
rible problem for Arctic explorers,
mountain climbers, and for mili
tary forces. In ordinary civilian
life it is less often a problem,
though in northern sections every
winter brings its toll of frostbite
victims.
The tip of tile nose, the ears,
Ihe fingers, ana the toes are par
ticularly susceptible to frostbite.
Frostbite may come on slowly or
suddenly, the latter especially if
the wind is high. Often a stinging
feeling is present at first in the ex
posed part, followed by a pleasant
numbness often without any pain.
When the frostbitten area begins
to thaw, swelling develops and the
skin becomes pink. In severe
cases, red or purple blisters filled
with serum or blood may aupear.
After the frozen part has thawed
it may remain cold and lack feel
ing, later becoming swollen and
purple. Death of the tissues may
set in and the. involved part sepa
rate from the rest of the body.
If frostbite does develop, thaw
ing should be gradual in cool air
or cold water. The practice of
trying to rub snow over the frosi
bitten part is considered danger
ous. Nothing wanner than the heat
of the body should ever be tried,
and a person who has been re
cently frostbitten should not go near
a fire or into a fully heated room
until the circulation has been thor-!
oughly restored.
After thawing, the .skin is not yet ',
strong and there is special danger
of causing infection from rubbing. '
Recently, excellent results in treat-1
tag acute frostbite with substances!
delaying t blood coagulation havej
been reported. This, however, is a j
professional rather than a self
treatment measure.

Wilbur lowered his mornhig news
paper until their eyes met across
the breakfast table.

versation is like a jigsaw puzzle-
It takes a fellow some time to moke
any kind ol pattern out of It. What
are you trying to get at? I don't
know any man who is holding on

"Is he? How does he do It?"
"By refusing to give it to Bo-

'What's a bobo?"
"Oh, don't act so dumb. Bobo
Is Winthrop's wife," said Trellis
Mae, who always spoke of fnmous
people by their first name.
"Why won't he give it to Bo
bo?" rcolied Wilbur, who was try
ing to read an article about the
electric power problem In India.
"Well, they are separated, and
Winthrop moved to Arkansas to
forget it all. Now he wants to set
tle six million dollars on her, but
his lawyer says Bobo Is holding
out for ten million dollars. Isn't
that a silly thing to quarrel over? '
"It could be a matter of prin
ciple," said Wilbur. "And four mil
lion dollars Is a pretty big principle."
If she takes the six million dol
lars,' mused Trellis Mae, "it says
she could invest it so as to get
about 120,000 tax-free dollars a
year. That's not so much, Is It?"
"Only about 323 bucks or so a
day, including Sundays and the
29th of February during leap
years," dryly remarked her hus
band. "But, of course, if she took
it in silver dollars It would make
quite a jingle in her purse."

way?" asked his wile.

be more generous than Winthrop.

threatened to leave you?"
No, Indeed," said Wilbur cau
tiously. 1

what did I own then?"
