Still the calls come in to us telling
of the first robin to arrive, herald
ing the coming of spring. For the
600,000th such call we plan to give
.a year's free subscription to "the
blrdlover," with hopes that-, this
. method will prove effective In con
vinclng people that robins spend
the winter here.
Speaking of birds, the state bird
of Oregon is the Western Meadow
lark. In looking up the bird for a
friend the other day we came
across a little publioation from the
slate called "Oregon, The Beaver
Slate" which gives a few facts
and figures. Among which Is a
comment on the climate giving
Portland as reference point, with
an average of 67 degrees in July
and 30 degrees in January. The
report goes on to say, "Flowers may
bloom through December and the
western part of the state is green
' 13 months a year." '
High time that some enterprising
group in Klamath Falls got togeth
er and gave people the true word.
Our weather down here, always
considered a bugaboo, is far
' better than, the average in western
Oregon. "
Hop to It, boys. . ;
, Jt might also Interest you to know
that Oregon ranks first In the na
tion in production of peppermint,
filberts, black raspberries, beans;
beets and carrots for canning, lily
bulbs, seedling rootstocks and hol
ly, perennial grass, common grass
and legume covers. .
The same pamphlet, in describing
our recreational facilities goes Into
panegyrics over everything from
the 400 miles of coastline in the
Emerald Empire to the "cragy"
lofts of the Cascades, carefully,
misspelling craggy.
And for your further Information
(please clip this and leave , it
around the house for handy refer
ence) the state lie3 between the
42nd and 46th degrees north lattl
lude, and 116 and 124 degrees west
longitude. The state is 295 miles
long and 395 miles wide with a
totnl area of 06,981 square miles.
The best ones of which are lo
cated within a radius of 200 miles
around Klamath Falls.
Net liquor sales in Oregon In
creased $1,037,314 during 1953.
Which doesn't necessarily mean
that ,the people of the state are
drinking more. Most of the increase
represents purchases for bar stock
since the grog-by-the-glass law
went into effect.
JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON W This, time ft
' 'year ago Sen. Brlcker could olainY
the support of 84 senators, includ-
. ing himself, for his proposed
'. amendment to the Constitution to
, limit treaty - making. He T can't
claim that many now.
, K'6 doubtful the Ohio Republi
can could muster enough Senate
-Votes to get .his proposal through,
' although- only two thirds of those
present at voting time are needed
not two thirds, or 64, of the total
, of 06 senators. -.'. .
His support began to melt under
"the heat from the White House
which had been there for a year
but didn't burst into flames until
this week.
Then President Eisenhower said
he was dead set against Brlcker's
project. This was enough to
make some of Brlcker's forces
tart looking for an exit.
'...-JThey can use a handy excuse If
tRiy're accused of running out: a
year ago they were backing Brlck
er's amendment. The one before
the Senate now Is less his than the
. American Bar Assn's.
Brlcker first offered his Idea In
the Senate in 1951. In 1952 the
BA'b House of Delegates, but not
by unanimous vote, approved one
of its own. ABA's was tougher.
Brlcker backs It wholeheartedly.
' The two proposals were the
- product of long-time criticism and
of fears.
The criticism was aimed at the
wartime agreements made by
Presidents Roosevelt and -Truman
with Stalin. A president, under the
constitutional authority of his of
fice, can make agreements with
other governments. Elsenhower
has done so.
Some day, perhaps, a president
might deliberatoly use an agree
ment to avoid seeking the two
thirds Senate support which the
Constltutlun requires If a treaty Is
made.
Therefore, the Brlcker group ar
gued, the Constitution should have
some safeguard written Into it spe
cifically giving Congress authority
to regulate executive agreements.
That's one thing the Brlcker
amendment proposes.
But In the end, Brlcker's critics
' say, this might do more damage
than the kind Brlcker is intent .on
preventing.
What does "regulate" mean? to
day it might seem to mean Con
gress could pass a law regulating
an agreement: Tomorrow Congress
might decide it had authority to
make the President report on ev
ery step he took in foreign affairs.
In short, Brlcker's critics pro
test, this kind of thing would give
Congress full control of the con
duct of foreign affairs, making the
President a congressional messen
ger, thus destroying the separa
tion of powers so carefully laid
down by the Founding Fathers
when they wrote the Constitution.
The Brlcker group expressed
alarm on another score: even
though the Senate, whose mem
bers are elected from the states,
does have control over treaties.
some future Senate and president,
unwarily or deliberately, might
agree' with some international or
ganization on a treaty that would
impair citizens' constitutional
rights or the ; powers reserved to
the states.
So the Brlcker amendment
would provide that a treaty could
take effeot as Internal law only if
Congress so provided and it
would limit Congress' action to
those fields marked out for It in
the Constitution.
Although Brlcker denies this
would give the 48 states a veto
over treaties and the government's
handling of foreign affairs, Eisen
hower says It would do just tint.
Brlcker and his amendment
didn't get to first base between
1051 and the end of 1052, but his
supporters gathered strength
arouna tne country,
t non 1053 ushered in the Elsen
hower administration and Repub
lican control of Congress, Brlcker
exuded confidence. But Elsenhow
er wasn't In the White House a
month before two of bis top aides,
Secretary of Slate Dulles and
Atty. Gen. Brownell, were arguing
against these constitutional
changes. 4
Elsenhower said he was willing
to work out a compromise with
Brlcker but up to the time the
Senate debate opened, none had
been reached. If at the last minute
Eisenhower didn't take a strong,
unmistakable stand against Brick-
there was still .a chance the
amendment might get through.
Elsenhower took his stand Tues
day by denouncing the amend
ment. At this time it seems the
lest Brlcker can hope for is Sen
ate approval on a compromise.
SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK M Many busi
nessmen are as optimlstlo about
the stale of business as President
Elsenhower appears to be. But
some . aren't.
And they'll give close scrutiny
to the plans he offers for keeping
a recession In hand, when he pre
sents his annual report Thursday
on the nation's economy.
The President's optimism was
evident In his State of the Union
message three weeks ago. It was
echoed last week In his budget,
which Is based squarely on the
belief that business will continue
almost as good lis last year. If
It doesn't If Income and, there
fore, tax collections fall off the
budget couldn't stand as drawn.
As the President's report goes
to Congress, here Is the state of
business and the divided opinion
about it, sweet and sour,
. The optimists' view:
For Industry as n whole, things
aren't bad at all. There has been
a six-month slide from the peak,
but It has been spotty. Some have
felt It sharply. Others are still
riding the crest,
A general recovery tor business
' In the spring Is predicted by a
sizable number of industrial ead
' rs. Some more cautious ones sug
gest a fall date. (Only a few will
say, for quotation, that It may be
still later.)
Profits Increased for most cor
porations In 1053. Total dividend
payments were up. The stock
market shook off much of Its earl
ier bearish qualms. (Only a few
will say, publicly, that profits and
dividends are likely to be down
very much In 1954.)
Retail trade ended the year with
a healthy llast-mlnute spurt, and
the January sales were satisfac
tory. Then why are some businessmen
worried? The pessimists' view:
They fear Unit the dip in some
lines will extend In time to theirs.
They hold to their old conviction
that "what goes up must come
down" the business cycle theory.
They worry lest layoffs start to
snowball because consumers stop
buying. Thoy point to these as the
danger points to watch:
Unemployment now Is around
two million. Most agree that It
will have to be double that before
they really worry about the econ
omy. If the average work week
drops below 40 hours, merchants
will worry. (And so will workers,
oven more so.)
Loss ot overtime pay already
means lower retail sales in af
fected communities. And overtime
pay is becoming obsolete in many
industries.
Industrial production has slipped
seven points from the July pealr.

By RUTH KING ',
The creaking of the wagon wheels
in the immigrant train in which
they came West, had scarcely died
on the long trek between Illinois
and Oregon In 1861 when Mabel
Jerusha and George S. Miller, par
ents of Oeorge M. Miller, now of
1755 Orescent Street, began think
ing about new fields to conquor.
The Willamette Valley had been
the end of the trail for the Miller
family, who settled near Salem to
raise livestock. Father Miller
l AA y
G. M. MILLER ' '
yearned for virgin country so be
fore the Modoc chieftains had fired
the first shot in the Indian insur
rection in the Klamath country, he
gathered his family and plunged
Into the rugged business of hewing
a farm from Isolated Langell Val
ley. Young Oeorge, born January 5,
1868 near Salem was old enough
when the family was transplanted
to remember the stir and the ex
citement among the settlers when
It became apparent that '"trouble
was afoot" on the Indian reserva
tion. The elder Miller knew and re
spected Captain Jack, who later
died for his part in the Modoc War
. . ..often used the Indian's pony to
round up Miller cattle strayed to
the reservation, and when the fight
ing was all over and the end of
the trail for the losers was at hand,
the now famous Indian pulled from
his neck, his favorite string of
beads and threw them from the
scaffold to the hands of his unhap
py friend, just before the trap was
sprung.
Only a few days before the out
break of hostilities, Scarface Char
lie turned up at the Miller ranch
to beg for powder and lead, promts-
ing a killed deer In return. . .the
ofier was refused and the visitor
went away. . . ,
Neighbors, knowing that precau
tions for. safety must- be taken,
gathered at the Miller's to cut a
trap door through the floor and
dig trenches underground to big
cellars, fashioned with portholes
and stocked with food. Indians
lurked in the nearby hills. , . trav
el was impossible and the stock of
provisions laid In, dwindled. . . .
the day came when there was no
more food and it was necessary to
"make a run" for Linkville or
starve.
Children were loaded Into wagon
beds and the little caravan took to
the road, only to run Into an am
bush at the "gap." near the nres-
ent site of Olene. Bullets whizzed
about them and when a stalled
wagon,- drawn bv stubborn mules
and driven by a very friKhtenari
man Dy tne name of Palrchllds,
mocked the road, the Langell Val
ley folks, "turned about" and head
ed for another gap in the hill range,
near Malin. Somewhere along the
way, they picked up a handful of
volunteer soldiers, and the travel
ers made the long 50-mlle circle in
record time.
The war went on. . . . the Millets
lived in a log house atop the hill
where the present high school
stands. The elder Miller started
proceedings to. get a deputation
claim from the TJ. S. government
for $3,000 to reimburse him for 10
head of cattle stampeded and stol
en by the Modocs. . . . the young
sters went to school and women
folks did the weekly wash at the
hot springs at the foot of the
mil. ...
Tills week George Miller recalled
an Incident that nearly cost him
his life. His - mother, scrubbing
away at a "hot sink," sent him
homeward for a box. Boy-like, he
put the container on his head and
backed down the hill, falling Into
the hot water before his horrified
narent. - who promntlv dragged
him out and smacked him hard
where small boys should be
smacked when they, make a mis-
cue. Tne paddling took its toil oi
blistered hide.
When he was 10 years old the
family moved back to the Willam
ette, where later he farmed. . .
filed1 saws in logging camps, did
some mining in California. Not un
til 1937 did he return to the Klam.
uth country to farm again. '

THE DOCTOR SAYS
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
A reader asks for a- discussion
of trachoma, a disease of the eye.
What was formerly a troglo cause
of blindness has now been almost
conquered. .
At first trachoma looks like any
other acute inflammation of the
outer part of the eye. The eye ap
pears inflamed and thickened. Lit
tle blister-like swellings appear
around the edges within a few
doys. In threo or four weeks the
thickening and other signs becomes
typical of trachoma and are easy
to distinguish from other inflom
inatlons of tlio eye.
The cause of this condition is a
virus which, unlike ordinary
germs, is too small to see under
the microscope. Among the other
symptoms, pain and sensitiveness
to light may be severe.
In the late stages ot this dan
gerous disease, the eyelid tends to
drop down and the lids may be

come deformed.
The disease produces scarring ol
some or tne lenaer tissues ot tne
eye nnd this is what causes the
inability to sec..
A correct and early diagnosis is
most important in the treatment
of trachoma. Many treatments
which are useful in other eye dis
eases, however, are not satisfac
tory for trachoma.
The improved outlook' for the
sufferer from trachoma comes
from the use of the sulfa drugs
or penicillin. This is one of the
few virus diseases which respond
to these preparations.
It is for these reasons that early
diagnosis and prompt treatment
are necessary so that blindness can
be avoided and painful and diffi
cult operations on the eye made
unnecessary.

NEW YORK UR You think you
nave problems, dear reader?
Listen to a man with a real
problem: .
After 20 years of reporting wars.
club meetings and other small
brush fires, I went to a national
furniture display this week. I
I came back with a utory about
a new furniture item of interest
lo millions of young Americans.
Frankly, it's about a new kind of
baby potty.
. With this preamble, let me take
you behind the scenes of a giant
industry and show you a news
paperman's problem they don't
prepare you for in Journalism
school or portray id Hollywood.
iiet s ao u in dialog:
"Editor: 'And where have you
been all day if I'm not too
bom?" , .
Boyle: "Down at the furniture
mart In the armory." 1 -
Editor: "Find any comfortable
solas to loaf on?"
Boyle (saluting): "Please. Sir.
I found a story. It is a story that
has everything inventive genius,
a struggle against odds, money
and success, motherhood and mil
lions upon millions of little chil
dren.'
Editor (yawning): "What, nc
dogs in it? I like human interest
stories about dogs particularly
small aogs."
Boj'le: "Yes, sir. I know that,
I looked for a small doe. but vou
know how touchy the furniture dis
play people are about admitting
animals. But this story has a lot
ot oaoy psycnology in It."
Editor (cautiously Impressed):
"Hmm m. What's this big front
page ,story all about?"
Boyle (drawing deep breath):
"Sir, it is the heart - warming
drama of a former high school
coach who yearned ja find the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow
and the.. , here's the switcheroo
. . . he did find it in a baby
potty."
Editor: '.'Come ' here.' Let me
smell your breath."
Boyle: "I'm not kidding. Baby
pottles have stood still, for
decades. This guy came up with
a new revolutionary baby potty."
Editor: "Oh, no., .a baby potty
story?.. . Oh, No, No, No!"
Boyle: "This guy's nam is
Paul La Hue, aged, 40, of Indian
apolis. He used to coach basket
ball and baseball and teach
science at a high school in Union
City, Ohio. Then he went into the
Navy. Then he went to work for
a drug firm. He got the idea for
this new baby potty while sitting
in .pediatricians' offices listening
to mothers complain about the
problems of housebreaking their
babies."
Editor: "And so?"
Boyle: "So he worked four years
to perfect the better potty. It cost
t50,000 to get three patents and
tool up and produce his first
potty. Now he' is selling them all
over the world, and expects to
overturn the whole baby potty In
dustry with it."
Editor: "Not that I'm at all
interested, but what Is new about
this product?"
Boyle: "It Is a lightweight, rub
berized plastic Job, but the main
thing about it is that it is a dual
purpose trainer, suitable for both
little irn and little women."
Editor (belligerently): "Why,
the regular bid-fashioned potty is.
too. What's so new about that?"
Boyle: "I'm glad you asked
that question, sir. Little boys arc
sometimes harder to train than
little girls. Mr. La Hue has a
theory that this is because they
regard the standard, or sit-down
potty, as not altogether satis
factory. He says they regard it
as sissy and may even be psy
chology scarred if the situation
isn't corrected. His solution Is a
small vertical plastic shield which
can be attached to the back of the
potty and provide a morc....uh...
masculine atmosphere."
Editor: "Are you making this
all up?"
Boyle: "Sir, this potty has been
looked into by the American Med
ical Assn., and not found wonting.
It has been commended by Pa
rents' Magazine. Mr. La Hue has

The social security system has
been part -of the lederal and state
government fabric since 1038. No
politician who values nis political
life would propose that any suo-
stantlal portion of it be repealed.
On the contrary, most politicians
agree that social security is nere
to stay, whatever some of them
may say publicly aDout -weiiaie-statism."
In fact, the Republicans,
who did not author the system.
promised in their 1052 national
platform, to extend security cover
age and make other improvements.
In keeping with those pledges,
President Elsenhower .recently sub
mitted a broad plan for the further
development of social security.
First of all. the President pro
posed to widen coverage from the
present 69 million Americans to 80
million, bring under protection self-,
employed larmers, proiessionui
people, and others.
Second, he would liberalize pro
visions governing outside earnings
for the aged. Right now, any time
person under 75 years of age
earns $75 a month on the outside,
he loses that month's social secur
ity benefit. Mr. Eisenhower would
allow an individual to make $1,000
a year- in this manner without
jeopardizing his government bene
fit.
Third, he would raise monthly
payments. For those now retired,
the existing individual minimum
per month is $25, the maximum
$85. The range for a man and wife
is $37.50 and $127.50. Under the new
plan, the individual lows and highs
would be $30 and $08.50, the man
and wife figures $45 and $147.75.
For people retiring in the future,
the individual maximum would
climb to $108.50, for a man and
wife $162.75, as result of increased
contributions.
At this time, both employer anil
employe contribute two per cent
each on earnings up to . $3600 a
year. That rate is slated to go up to
three per cent by 1965. Mr. Elsen
hower would hike it even higher,
lo 3.75 per cent, by 1970. And he
would have his bite taken out of
$4,200 a year instead of $3,600.
All these proposals can be arg
ued for on reasonable grounds. ..
If the system is here to stay, as
seems evident, then It ought fairly
to cover as much of the working
population as possible. No segment
should sulfer discrimination.
But certainly persons able and
willing to continue working past re
tirement age ought to be encour
aged to do so without penalty of
loss of benefit. Tt appears reason
able, too, that contributions should
gradually rise so that the ultimate
return . to the retired worker may
be greater.
These principles put wise stress
on seif-help within a system of
group protection..-
At the same time, the plan to
hike benefits makes senser since
the postwar Inflation has sharply
reduced the purchasing power of
tne dollar. What may have seemed
an adequate minimum some years
back can look pretty skimpy in to
day's'inarkets. :'m'
By this program Mr. Eisenhow
er has offered hard, specific evi
dence that his concern for the av
erage American is not a thing of
mere high-sounding generalities.
His proposals deserve the attention
of nis party and the whole Con
gress.

Miller's account of the Miller fam
ily crossing the plains in 1852, we
left the little band a day's march
from the summit of the Rocky
Mountains.
Joaquin writes:
"Our next camp - was in the
South Pass, so named by Fre
mont, who had set up a cairn of
stones there the summit of the
Rocky Mountains. The Hying
snow fell in our faces as we looked
away toward the West. The waters
were flowing toward the setting
sun. It seemed to us all, weary
as we were, that the rest of the
way must be down hill to th vast
ocean. Our camp was by the Pa
clfio Springs. We were now drink
ing of the water that flowed to the
mighty oceanl What exultationl
What glory and achievement! ,

rested long, sold some worn-out

we did now all the time: all but

that even the barrel of my gun
was full of it.
"Our side as well as the Indians'

grave, and we continued on. We
had no. water at all now, for this
cut-off is through a desert. Our
course was sharp to the right;
