ttteSIUY. FEBRUARY 16, 1984 PAGE F6UR Markets and finance Navy Chief Speaks For Readiness ' NEWPORT, R.I. "Wl Adm. Robert B. Carney said Tuesday the United States must be ready regardless of whether another war Is fought with nuclear Bombs or bamboo spears. : "I cannot, nor can anyone else, forecast the blueprint ior an ulti mate showdown of the nations now In Ideological conflict," said Car ney, the Navy's top officer and ' member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, m, an address for the Naval War College,'. He voiced certainty of only one ' thing the expanding military strength of Russia, including what ' emergence of - the Soviet Union 'as iho second strongest naval power in terms of the number of ships in commission, second only to the United States" As some, other officials of the Navy and Army have done, Car ney noted a possibility that anoth er war could be without use, of i atnmlc weapons.- He said: " "What sort ol war do we have in mind? If we are honest with our selves, we will acknowledge that there , are big wars, little wars; ' atomic wars and perhaps non :, atomic wars. What can we ex .. pest?. . . '. .ti "If the answer ls'aloms!" that - 1r one thingr Were the criterion . to be 'no atoms!' we are militarily ' right back where we started, . , ; "It Is entirely conceivable that We1 might see a. limited use of ; atomic weapons. We might see, and probably will see, a contlnua , tion of the so-called brush fires. Or we might see, as has so far . been fthe case with chemical bac teriological warfare, a nuclear stalemate with both sides refrain Ins for fear of retaliation. . "Confronted with great uncer tainty in this respect, 'I see no alternative but to hedge our stra tegic bets, ready to rush Into the future, but also prepared to meet, . and rely ' on, the methods of the recent past. , , . , "Regardless of how the war Is fought of one thing; I am certain: . It will end on the ground, polltlcal- Iv and economically even If not by frontal assault. Ouerrlia bands, armed with bamboo spears,, may stalk each other across the re- ; malnlng ashes."' Soil Group To Meet drainage of , the Midland-Miller, .Hill area will be the main topic at the annual meeting of the Klamath Soil Conservation District, to be held at the Midland Orange Hall, ( at 7:30 p.m., February 16. .

O'HAIR'S Memorial Chapel FUNERAL SERVICES FOR ALL INCOMES NON-DENOMINATIONAL SERVING ALL RELIGIONS Klamath Falls Phase 345 Support Cut May Lower Milk Prices WASHINGTON W A reduo lion of possibly two cents a quarc in fluid milk prices may follow in the wnke of the government's decision to lower the level . at which It supports prices of butter, cheese and dried milk. A number of dairy state con gressmen, meanwhile, denounced the decision. Sen. Humphrey D Minn) said he would appeal to Congress to reverse an order by Secretary of Agriculture Benson announced Monday, which Benson estimated would reduce retail but ter prices by about eight cents a pound. Others applauded Benson's move. Prices paid for -manufacturing milk that, is, milk used lor mak ing manufactured dairy products are closely related to prices dis tributors pay for miik sold in bot tles and other containers for home use. Latest official reports show; that in major cities, consumers were paying an average of 23 cents a quurt for standard gradfi milk de livered to homes. Should producer prices for milk bought for iluid distribution decline in line with re duced price supports for manu facturing milk, the retail price in these cities should drop two or three cents a quart and perhaps as much in smaller cities and towns. PARITY Benson announced Monday" that the support rates for manufactur ing milk and bulterfat will be set at 75 per cent of parity for the marketing year beglnnini? April 1. This Is the minimum rate permit ted. The present rate is 90 per cent of parity, the legal maxi mum. Parity is a standard for meas uring farm prices, declared by law to be fair to farmers in relation to prices they pay. ten. Ellcnder iD-La) said he "would have been disappointed" If Benson had taken any other step. Ellender commented - that even the cut ordered by Benson would not move butter in the mar ket competitively. . On the other hand,. Llewellyn Watts Jr., president of the New York Mercantile Exchange, fore cast a "tremendous upsurge In butter purchasing by consumers" and added, "The government may soon be out of the butter busi ness." Boys Arrested In Prowl Case Six recent prowl cases were sol ved Monday when city police and Juvenile officers arrested three 14 year old boys.

Friendly Helpfulness To Every Creud and furie Ward's Klamath Funeral Home Marguerite M. Word and Sons 92J High Phone 3334 UI1S (Continued from pace 1) were forbidd-i bv statute law AND BV THE CONSTITUTION In Oregon. They were being winlced at by the authorities. As I see it, a slot, machine in a socially correct country club Is. Just as illegal as a slot machine in a dive. I may be obtuse, but I can see no MORAL mfierence. The law la being violated In either case. And, for that matter, I can see little MORAL diflerenoe between, good citizens associated together In a socially correct club that was using illegal devices -to get improvements lor their city and good citizens associated together in a citv council and using li teral devices to GET IMPROVE MENTS POR THEIR CITV. , - 1 I'd say that in principle one was no more reprehensible than the other. '. I'd like lo add, on personal knowl edge, that these men hi the city government of Klamath Fals were good citizens. They were just as good citizens as the members of the correct social organizations that were using illegal devices to get money for pleasant social facili ties for their members and their guests. I think the makers of our Ore gon constitution, when they in cluded in it a ban on gambling, would have lumped them all togeth er and would have said that what was bad in one place was equally bad in another place. The CONSTITUTION of Oregon Article XV. Section 4) forbids lot teries and specifically directs the legislative assembly to PREVENT THE SAME BY PENAL LAWS. What of the good people who ig nore the constitution and the statutes of Oregon and hold lot teries and rallies and bingo games TO GET MONEY FOR A GOOD CAUSE? What our city council did back In those days was unwise and un sound. You can't touch pitch with out being defiled. You can't break the law without becoming a law breaker. But, considering all the cir cumstances, I think it might be said to those who criticize the Klamath Falls "Improvement fund": "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." And it might be added: "Judge not. lest ye be Judged." Stock Fight Goes On For Railroad MEW. .YORK i.fl Stockholders of the New York Central Railroad Tuesday received Robert It. Young's open imitation to nomin ate new directors to replace the hostile board he wants to oust in hir, fight for control of the Central. A day ' after his arrival from Florida to lake up the cudgels in his proxy fight for mastery of the hurje railroad, Young published in the morning Wall Street Journal, financial daily, a "Memo to New York Central Stockholders." . . "If you have .nominations for your ownership board , of director to be elected Mav 20, advise Robert R. Young and. Allan P. Kirby, Alle gheny Corporation, Chrysler BuiUl int:." said the ad. .,. . That was all, . Kirby Is Young's old-time finan cial ally who resigned from the Chesapeake and Ohio" Railway Doara with mm last month to sect mastery of the Central.

Democrats Fight Beeson Choice WASHINGTON UP) Democratic leaders hi the Senate were re ported Tuesday' to be on the verse of making a parly issue of the controversial nomination of Albert C. Beeson to the National Labor Relations 'Board.
