About one third of these would be relieved of any taxes at all on their dividend income. This was the second major step announced in a complete overhaul of tax laws launched by the com mittee Wednesday. The first agree ment would provide 50 million dol lars In tax savings for about 700, 000 single heads of households. , Democrats were reported to have raised some opposition to the pro gram of relief for dividend recip ients.

By REX PORTERFIELD Two things for certain the wind blows in Chicago and I am tired. First, we took in Don McNeill's Breakfast Club. I told them on my card that I had taken a potato out of the sack we were going to pre sent to Secretary Benson and gave it to Sam, and Bryant made me sign it, "Potato Champ." when he called me up on the program the first thing he noticed was my Ki wanls button and it took quite a while to explain to him why we were in Chicago. Mr. Meoliff of the 4-H Boys and Girls Foundation met us after the, program and took us to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. I got a whole bunch of stuff ex plained to me that I didn't under stand aboil. hedging and buying and selling produce. Then our picture was taken by. the Auction Board and for f u someone bought a carload of po tatoes while we were starring there. I guess it would be all right if I knew what they were doing but it sure sounded crazy me' Next, we went down Vr the Pro duce Mnrket and had p)Jlures tax on nf Klamath firms along beside Idaho potatoes.

Ridgway said Thursday Pentagon leaders do not see any evidence that the Communists in tend to renew hostilities in Korea. Ridgway, the Army chief of staff, was formerly supreme com mander of Allied powers in the Far East. - He told the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee that Uie planned withdrawal of two U.S. divisions from South Korea would not weak en the' American position but would provide greater flexibility of action. Ridgway and Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens appeared before the committee to urge Sen ate ratification of a mutual de fense pact negotiated with Korea. In reply to a question by Chair man Wiley (R-Wis), Ridgway said there have been "verified with drawals" of Chinese units from North Korea since the armistice but he said the over-all Commu nist strength there still is "not far from one million" men. FIELDS REPAIRED Ridgway told the committee there also was verified evidence that the Communists have rebuilt war-torn airfields since the armi stice and have constructed some new airfields. But, he added, "our conclusions' are we do not see evidence of an intention on their part to renew hostilities." S Ridgway's testimony was in line with President Eisenhower's state ment at his news conference 1 Wednesday that he had no reports of Communist build-ups in viola tion of the truce. The President said the evidence Is that the Communists have dtig 1 in defensively, done a surprising J amount of economic rebuilding in North Korea and reduced their ground forces. Ridgway answered "positively, yes," when asked by Sen, Humph- ' rey D-Minn) if South Korea was an essential bastion for United States security in the Pacific. Humphrey also explored the ad ministration's announced new pol icy of retaliation to Communist aggression at a place of this coun try's own cnoosmg, but not neces sarily where the Red attack oc curs.

Mr. Meoliff took us up to the 4-H Boys and Girls Foundation of fice and Bryant says these are the fellows I met and had lunoh with G. L. Noble, Chairman of (the 4-H Foundation: James E. Edmondson, Public Relations man for 'national Klwanis; C- C. Lang, who, has a bigger job than Mr. Skinner in the same department. Then we went up to the Kiwanls International headquarters and the president was there and Irye had our picture taken givlne him some potatoes. I forgot, J -atid fbat we had our picture taken with Mr. Noble and everybody up In the 4-H office. I dnh't know how many pic tures wa had in the Kiwanis deal but thei'e were sure a lot of them and a lot of people there. 1 After we left the Kiwanis Inter national office Mr. Meoliff took us mown to where all the Negroes live. told us they were tearing down all those buildings and building new. I don't know how anyone drives through all tris traffic but it was too cold to walk so we just waited until the lights changed and finally ended up at the Aquarium. I was kind of glad that we had- only 30 minutes to stand up in there al though we could look at all the fish. I am going to bed early tonight because Jim and I are tired. Rail Rate Hearing Set Word w3 received In Klamath Palls Wednesday by the Southern Pacific Company that a Tariff Bu reau hearing has been set for Jan. 23 in Los Angeles pertaining to the proposed freight rate reduction by tne union Pacific Railroad, accord ing to George W. Morgan, S. p. district agent. According to information avail able here the U.P. proposes to cut rates on potato shipments from Idaho and northern Utah points on their own lines, to the Los Angeles area. At the hearing the Union Pacific will ask that the "emergency clause" rate known as X175 be re moved between these points and will ask for a further reduction cf from two to four cents In the regu lar rate. This emergency clause requires railroads to add 15 per cent to the regular rate for potato shipments. The Southern Pacific and other transportation companies will pro test the proposed reduction, Mor gan stated. The second annual meeting oft the Klamath County Marketing As sociation held in the Presbyterian Church in Merrill Wednesday night was well attended. Earl Kerns, local cattleman, and a member of the board of direc tors served as chairman and in troduced Floco Feldmiller, mana ger of the Valley Livestock Mar keting Association at Stockton, who spoke to the group. Giving a brief background of the Valley association, Feldmiller stat ed there are now three large co operative marketing organizations in the U.S. and that the Valley is the 21st member of the largest of these these agencies. Purpose of the association Is to serve the livestock grower both as a seller and buyer. Working in close cooperation with farm bureau's the association has yards at both Stockton and South San Francisco. Starting in 1838 the association In 1953 a total of $15 million passed through the associations hands and paid to livestock growers in the west. Through the cooperative form of selling the small beef grower has the same chance of getting lop prices for a few head of cattle as the large stockman has in selling large numbers. Arch Bathurst, order buyer foj the Valley association spoke brief ly on the two services rendere by his company, stating that tv separate staffs, one for buying ar one for selling, were used for I" fast turnover in livestock.
