BILLBOARD
By BILL JENKINS
The legend of the West would
have it that all are willing to pr.cn
in and help when an emergency
arises. And the boys down on the
Shasta forest are doing just that.
Quite a group of the Northern Cal
ifornia fire specialists nave
headed South to help out on the
etlU smoldering fires that so re
cently roared across the Southern
California hills.
Continued dry weather down
around the Los Angeles area is
making it tough lor the fire fight
ers. But we feel confident that with
the addition of some of our rugged
boys from this area the trouble
Will be controlled in no time.
In case you get up early enough
to notice it the sunrises this win
ter are really something. The old
orb comes up in a blaze of colors,
painting the buildings of the down
town area with a brilliant brush
and making life almost worth liv
ing. But the thing that impresses us
most Is the summer color that the
eurly sun puts on the bare trees
that jut up into the sky. Even on
the coldest of days they assume
a warm, cozy look that reminds
one very much of the banks of his
lavorite fishing stream and leads
to a lot of daydreaming that does
little to spur industry.
Oh well, we can dream, can't
we'
We have a drawer full of old pic
tures down here, all made up in
meiai and ready to go if we had
some Identification on 'em. If you
happen to be one of those who so
graciously brought them in to us in
the past months come on down and
we'll not only return the pictures
but get all the dope that Is
needed.

CAUGHT IN THE ROUNDS
By l)KB ADDISON
THE AFTERNOON mall brought,
from completely unrelated
sources, two missives which have
bearing on one train of thought.
Each was sent for the purpose of
proving a point, for convincing us
of something and, perhaps, for
passing it along here.
One is a statement, the reprint of
a paid ad by Idaho Power, relative
to trie question of Hells Canyon,
the development of the Sanke River
between Oregon and Idaho.
You've probably read and heard
the arguments until you're tired of
'em. This deals with just one point,
and we'll not go beyond that.
It quotes the Department of In
terior Statement of May 5 that "it
is reasonable to assume that the
first unit of the three-dam (Idaho
: Power) project can be on the line
seven or eight years before the
Hells Canyon (Federal) Dam can
be In production."
Idaho Power would have its first
generator humming in 2o months;
would complete the project In 38
months; would produce 40 billion
kilowatt hours of electricity (the
output of Bonneville dam for 10
years) before the Federal project
could have turned a wheel.
Well, let's add that if the Job
were done thin way with private
money, not only would It avoid
dipping Into the public treasury but
It would pay $10 million taxes an
nually into the public treasury.
Now, let's Jump to the other
communique. That is a clipping of
Drew Pearson's "Washington Mer-ry-Go-Round'
column from the
San Francisco Chronicle of Jan.
S.
It Is headed, "Senator Morse,
Who Bolted, Stronger Than Ever
Now." .
It refers to his last trip home.
"In 18 days fie mnde 45 speeches
plus three radio broadcasts, and
seldom has a Senator been given
such a reception."
It says, "The Independent from
Oregon appears as firmly en
trenched back home as he is on the
Senate floor, where by a flip of
his vote he can unseat the Re
publican party."
Now, in mulling these over
(Morse's main access to the news
columns since hjs 22-hour-32-minute
filibuster has .been through thump
ing against privnte enterprise on
the Snake) it brings two definite
conclusions.
One Is that Pearson's "neck" Is
out a foot. (We didn't hear of him
or much anyone else following
Morse around for his 45 speeches.)
The bizarre antics of the "Junior
Senator" may be hot stuff in the
merry-go-round at Washington but
otherwise they're pretty well out of
date. (It took some people quite a
while to realize that bathtub gin
and coonskln coats had passed into
history.)
The country has leveled off and
sobered up. The people are more
interested In getting power gener
ated when power Is needed than
In building a colossal engineering
monument ... or in nearing a
colossal filibuster.
That brings up the next conclusion.
Everyone agrees that for at least
the next 10 years the demand for
electric power in the pacific North
west will continually exceed the
supply.
We've got the horses running to
waste down the Klamath canyon. If
the various water users mainly
Copco and the Irrigating farmers
can't reach agreement on the
grounfl rules for putting them
to work, then nobody recognies op
portunity when it's written with a
capital "O",
Idaho Power may get the chance
to start turning n generator in 20
months. Idaho just might cop
the Industrial market like it has the
potato market.
ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
By KEN McLEOD
JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON W) President El- program would pass. But when Ei
senhower today was right in the
middle of a fight for the progruin
ne mm flown yesterday and
which he stakes the success of his
Kcpublican party. .
On Dec. 2, speaking of Novem
ber's Congressional elections. Ei
senhower said the Republicans did
not deserve to retain control of
Congress unless they put through
a "progressive, dynamic pro
gram." Applause interrupted him 45
times during his 54-mlnute state of
the union message to Congress.
And oilerwards leaders of his
party expressed the usual, expect
ed praise.
Although he made it abundantly
clear the message was only an out
line of his program, and that he
would fill It in rapidly with special
messages, ft tiny handful of mem
ber;, bltingly dismissed it as a
"hodge-podge" full of "platitudes."
But it was the opposition ex
pressed, even by members of his
own parly, on some major points
in his program, that served him
full notice he must assert leader
ship to get it through.
Last year, a period of learning
his Job and preparing the program
he produced yesterday, he may
have felt he could afford the com
promUe on many issues.
This year, if he compromises
when the opposition Isn't strong
enough to deleat him, then he can
be accused of abdicating leader-i
tdiip lor the sake ol being liked. 1
Last night, as illustration of the
fight ahead, he was reported busy;
in the White House trying to work
out a compromise on the proposal
of Sen. Brickcr (R-Ohio) to limit
the treaty-making power.
It's- not at all clear Elsenhower
has to compromise for, -it is de
batable that Brickcr has sufficient
support to put over his idea if
Eisenhower decides to fight him
to a standstill.
5 Two examples of the struggle
p facing the President came from
members of his own party, Imme
,i iiately after the message, on two
. of the programs most important
K to him: Farm and taxes.
House Speaker Joseph Martin
(j R-Mass) said he rather expects
( the tax program Elsenhower
Hi pledged future tax cuts and post-
Sponcment of scheduled reductions
"Is where we will have our biggest
difficulty."
senhower suggested a program of
flexible price supports for farmers,
instead of Itxcd ones, he ran into
real trouble since feeling on this
is so divided.
Eisenhower got his biggest hand
from Democrats and Republicans
a i me wnen ne proposed that Com
munlsts convicted of conspiracy to
overthrow the government be de
prived of citizenship,
If n qiiiuk poll had been taken
It might have disclosed most mem
bers were applauding more be
cause the idea seemed all right
ai uie ume man because they un
derstood what they were being
asked to do or how to-do It.
It isn't clear now Eisenhower
thinks his proposal could be car
ried out if Congress went to work
on It.
Since the Constitution says ". . .
persons born in the United States
. . . are citizens. . one of the
most highly regarded Constitution
al lawyers in the House. Rep.
Walter D-Pa) said: The Presi
dent's suggestion couldn't tie car
ried out with a Constitutional
amendment.
And Rep. Chauncey W. Reed
(R-11D, chairman of the House Ju
diciary Conunitiee which would
have to handle the problem, said:
"How can you take citizenship
from a man bom here? It can't
be done."
Our civic leaders are actively
searching and wishing lor indus
trial expansion here in the Klamath
Basin, much time and eflort is be
ing expended in beating the bushes
for hopeful opportunities. Yet little
apparently is being done to pre
pare the ground locally to plan
for the dislocations that inevitably
must occur should some large in
dustrial organization take a notion
to settle here. Foremost among
uie considerations will be the sub
ject ot pollution and the disposal
ol human and industrial wastes.
This thought really emphasizes
the fact the saving of our waters
is really a race against time, a
race which Is being emphasized
across the nation with so much at
tendant publicity that In this day,
no one should be caught napping
but they will. Modern waste treat
ment facilities gives us the tool to
combat the pollution menace but
cities and industries grow so fast
that present day facilities are of
ten outmoded before the people
realize what has taken place.
How fast Is pollution Increasing?
This Is a question being faced by
our various, sanitary authorities.
How many treatment plants are
being built and what forces are at
work to speed up the process?
The answers to these questions will
tell us what more needs to be
done, and how urgently.
The American public has been
slow to grasp the seriousness of the
problem, public inertia has been
the result of lack of understanding.
At first there was a sort of feeling
of helplessness, the task appeared
Impossible. In that respect the
problem Is a challenge to the
American spirit, to whom, nothing
is impossible, It just takes a little
longer. As a consequence we find
the American people becoming or
ganized to fight this menace of pol
lution. The pioneering work has
been done chiefly by the various
State pollution control agencies-
most of which are a part of or
linked to the. State health depart
ments. Many of them hove been ac
tive for years, carrying on pro
grams of research, education and
enforcement. Every state now has ,
an official pollution control author
ity and the main responsibility
continues to rest with them.
However, pollution docs not stop
at the boundary of a state and for
this reason we find many states
banding together to clean up in
terstate rivers. The Ohio River
Valley Sanitation Commission rep
resents an 8-state effort along one
of the nation's mightiest, and most
badly polluted rivers. Other rivers
such as the Delaware, the Po
tomac, the waters around New
York City, and others are sub
jects of interstate cooperation. The
great city of New York is being
faced with problems of water shor
tage its position emphasizes the
irony of the pollution problem be
cause the city is situated on the
Hudson River one of the nation's
great fresh waterways yet now too
polluted to be handled through
man's chemical purification pro
cesses. Industries are beginning to will
ingly shoulder their share of the
burden though they have stubbornly
resisted attempts to force them to
recognize their moral responsibili
ties. Some industries like the dairy
and pulp and paper are com
mencing to build industry-wide pro
grams for salvaging wastes and
saving streams. Industries every
where have speeded up thir re
search programs on their Indus
trial wastes since World War II.
Cities and towns throughout the
country are solving their local
problems. Most Important of all,
the citizens themselves are on
the march. The people are begin
ning to speak out for pollution con
trol; through special organizations
like watershed councils, through
wildlife and conservation groups,
through civic clubs, citizens coun
cils and chambers of commerce.
This citizen interest gave expres
sion to the recognition of the prob
lem as a national issue and In
194B the 80th Congress passed what
is known as Public Law 845. This
law gave the United States Public
Health Service certain definite
tasks to do In the field of pollu
tion abatement. These tasks involve
close cooperation with state agen
cies, In recognition of the principle
(hat pollution problems can
and should be solved at home.
Pollution control is a big. prob
lem in Itself. It is also a part qf
a bigger problem the best use of
our water resources. In order to
decide how much waste treatment
Is needed, we must know how the
water in a given river or lake
is to be used.
Ideally, of course, we should like
to be able to use water for dozens
of different purposes and still keep
it sparkling clear as it was before
we used it. But we can "eat our
cake and have it too", only up to a
certain point. We can't line the j
banks of a river with factories and
expect the same stretch of water
to be a fisherman's paradise
or can we?

BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEW YORK UP The mildness
of the winter in many sections has
cut profits and undermined prices
in a number of industries like
fuel and apparel.
It has helped others like util
ities and ice cream makers. It
has caused men to be laid off work.
It has kept others at work longer
than they had expected.
And the long streak of mild win
ters has led many to wonder if the
climate is changing.
If It Is, industry, agriculture and
transportation will all be affected.
Some industries and crops will
move father north. Some ports will
boom. Other regions may get
too hot and too dry to support
their present industries and crops.
. And the way Americans live will
change their food habits, cloth
ing purchases, housing and heating
needs.
It Is too soon to do more than
speculate about a general warm
ing up of the climate. But re
cently the winters have .been
warmer in the Northeastern and
Southern parts of the United States
and a little colder in the North
west and along the Pacific Coast.
This winter's mild temperatures
In the Northeast have been a blow
to the oil industry which had count
ed a bigger demand for fuel oil.
Warm weather has added to the
troubles of the coal industry. It
has enabled the fast-spreading nat
ural gas pipelines to supply all
customers so far without any of
the spot shortages that cropped up
in former cojd spells.
Ore boats plied the Great Lakes
longer than usual and supplied the
steel mills with all the iron ore
they'll need until spring. Northern
ports were free of ice much longer
than usual.
Utility and railroad repair crews
have had less to do this winter,
thereby savinc their companies
money. Businessmen got their or
ders delivered without storm de
lays. Makers of soft drinks and ice
cream and beer reported fall sales
booming. Owners of drive-in mov
ies profited.

From Tokyo comes a report that

neighbors. If true, the news is

Up to now the Japanese govern

industrial raw materials. So any
sound economic lulure for a grow
lng Japan must be defined In terms
ot enlarging trade.
The United 8tatcs and other
Western powers appear unwllllnii
to absorb much additional Japan
ese ouipui. 'ihey do not want JaDan
to deal in volume with Communist
China. Consequently, the nations of
southeast Asia offer the only reas
onable trading ground. .
This possible economic tie-up be
tween industrial Japan and unde
veloped Southeast Asia has long
been viewed by experts as a na
tural. But the inherited hostility
from World War II has stood as
A practical barrier to its realiza
tion.
Initiative for Improved relations
necessarily had to come from Ja
pan. It could not be forced by the
West. In lace, so long as America
was pourinc dollars Into the Ja
panese islands, the effect was to
reduce pressure upon Japan to
patch things up with Its Asian
nelRhbors.
Now, however, the heat is on.
The whole free world must wish
at this Juncture that Japan Is in
deed serious In seeking fresh un
derstanding with its wartime vic
tims. For a solid trade equation
between this progressive Industrial
nation and its raw-material-produc-lng
associates in Asia would intro

factor tor stability and hence lor
peace.
Two teen-age boys have recent
ly written that Instead of being,
troubled with overweight they are
abnormally skinny, and would like
to add some pounds.
In general, being overweight is
much more of a health problem
man Deuig underweight. There are
some, however, who could profit
neaun-wise as well as in appear
ance by putting on some weight.
In the absence of any definite
disease responsible for abnormal
thinness, nearly everyone, even
teen-age youngsters, can put on
weight if they go about it In the
right wny. Perhaps the easiest way
to discuss it Is explain a little
about the nature of the problem.
The human body operates like
a machine lor which food-fuel is
converted into energy aud used up
in physical and mental activity.
There are, therefore, two ways to
gain weight; .one to cut down on
the activity output or exercise and
the other to increase the food in
take, or simply, cat more.
Tile fuel Intake can be in
creased in several ways. One of
them is to choose the foods which
have the highest energy, or calorie
valuo since these can be changed
into weight as well as into work.
The starches or carbohydrates and
fats supply more energy and have
more effect on weight than pro
teins do.
Balance must be maintained in
the diet, however. It is not wise
to cut out the fruits, vegetables,
meat, milk and eggs which suppiy
nubstances which help to maintain
good health, particularly for those
still growing.
Another thing which can be done
besides choosing the right diet is
to eat more at each meal. The
amount eaten Is largely a matter
of habit and the stomach can be
trained to hold more by gradually
increasing the amount eaten at
each meal. One good way to do
this Is to eat until the appetite is
satisfied and then take a few more
mouthfuls.

Well, It's all set. Everything Is
decided except the date; which is
likely to rule out the grand
parents, unless we attend in wrar.
chairs. You see, the happy couple
have yet to enter their teens.
It is no surprise to the family.
The courtship has been of con
spicuous ana earnest duration. It
started wnen Turk was four and
Alice was two. Guess I told you
about it.
It was the time that the unpre
dictable rascal found a croquet
mallet alongside a neighbor's ga
rage. With the weapon ne knocked
out 36 panes of glass, and could
have done much better had he
been taller or the mallet handle
longer.
We knew right away that some
day he'd make a resourcetul,
obedient husband, fqr when asked
why he did it, he said, "Ullace
told me to." To which the loyal,
but as yet inarticulate Alice coulu
merely nod her head. She stood by
Turk, and has ever since, througn
depredation after depredation.
Though Turk hasn't had much
time to look arounu, he s deuiutju
to reform and settle down. No male
of any age ever had sounder rea-1
son for his choice. Alice has been I
his willing alibi, through thick and
thin, mostly pretty thin.
We presume tnat the decision
was hastened by the recent wed
ding of his grownup cousin. Turk
worried through the three months
of preparation for the 20-minuie
extravaganza; as I have, through
four of them..
Except that he let two months
elapse for reversion to normal.
I'd suspect that he was a mite
off his noodle when he took the
step.
It might be that the southpaw
overheard me say that I was going
to give a ladder to all the rest of
our off spring and if they -didn't
elope, I'd shoot 'em.
Turk Is the sort who would risk
being shot to get a ladder. He still
remembers being thwarted by the
high-up garage windows.
Almost everybody can remember
a childhood romance and the plans
for the rose-trellised cottage. Some
come to realization of those very
plans. Me and my gal planned near-1
ly as early as have Turk and Alice. !
So, who knows? j
But I warn Master Turk, as;
one of experience, that there's a
drawback he has yet to discover;
a disadvantage, even to a white
liar, when one's whole life is as!
well known to his mate as , to
himself. It's pretty hard to fcet:
away with anything.
On numerous attempts to
dream heroic adventure into the
past, Franny hos let me talk my
self into a nice little hole, which
she baited with demonic silence.
Then she'd spring the trap,
That's when you wish you had first
met the girl on Tuesday and mar
ried her the following Saturday.
So, Turk, you see that your
grandpappy (and grand manny too,
I'll venture) have encountered oc
casions when it would have been
handier if they hadn't known quite
so much about each other.
I wouldn't want to bust up the
match, Turk, but if you ever plan
to wax nostalgic, like I have, you'll
grind out the hokum with far great
er latitude and facility if you
haven't a kindergarten sweetheart
sitting around to say:
"You great big liar; that never
happened.

NEW YORK A new mechan
ical translator may ultimately hur
dle the language barrier in the
twinkling of an electronic eye.
Introduced publicly for the first
time yesterday by the International
Business Machines Corp., the 12

improvements to come, the device
could run the gamut of all lan

Give the "brain" a sentence . . .
lights flush, there is a subdued
clinking and clanking, and in 10

In addition to its language work,
the machines take seconds to do
