George Turnbull, whose editor-

ture of the Albany Democrat-Her-:

at which the scientists are be
ginning to cock an inquisitive eye.
He says:
"The scientists some of them,
that is are telling us in one mag
azine article after another that
algae will be replacing porterhouse
steak as the piece' de resistance
of the good dinner In a few gen
erations. Already, in some parts
of the Orient, Plankton, made of
marine algae. Is an important
item of diet . ,
"Maybe future generations will
like it so well that they'll feel
sorry for us benighted folk who
subsist on such coarse things as
meat and potatoes and an occasion
al fish. But right now we recipro
cate the pity. We'd rather let the;
fish devour the algae and later
on we'll feast on a fine, fat salmon
baked on a plank."
Down here In the State of Jef
ferson we have a huge lake and
it's simply loaded with algae and
in the past we've complained bit
terly about that fact. Among other
things, we don't enjoy swimming
in algae soup.
We too have been reading the
magazines, and we're getting an
idea. We go along with your
thinking, George. We don't believe
we'd like the stuff straight. So
we're thinking of making stock
feed out of it which we'll feed to
the steers that graze on our bound
less ranges and then, when na
ture has taken Its course, we'll
eat the steaks that have been per
fected by the processed algae feed.
We plan to go one step further,
out of the algae that is left over
we'll make fertilizer to grow
more of the big potatoes that go
so well, when baked or hash

Further Tax
Cut Opposed
WASHINGTON In Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey tojd
senators Wednesday the Eisenhow
er administration is strongly op
posed to Increasing personal in
come tax exemptions as proposed
by the Democrats.
At the same time, the secretary
pledged to the Senate Finance
Committee that when further gov
ernment spending cuts Justify it,
the administration will recom
mend to Congress additional In
come tax cuts.
REDUCE RATES
But he said this should be done
by reducing the rates, not increas
ing exemptions. Democrats have
offered amendments to raise the
present $600 individual exemption
to $700 or $800.
Humphrey was the opening wit
ness as the Finance Committee
started publio hearings on the 875
page tax revision bill, already
passed by the House. The secretary-described
the bill as a key
part of President Elsenhower's
fiscal program.
He said that $7,400,000,000 in tax
cuts have been put through or are
in prospect this year, counting the
revision bill, and that this is all
that can be afforded now.
Humphrey testified that the ear
liest possible action on the bill
was "imperative" and would have
'tremendously helpful effect
upon the economy."
Humphrey read off a list of what
he called "plain facts" about the
current economic situation indicat
ing that business is now better
than at any other time except in
tne record year of 1963.
PROPOSAL ..i.
He said the proposal in the bill
to reduce taxation of dividend in-
come "will encourage the invest
ment of savings so that business
can expand and create more jobs."
Humphrey said three-quarters of
all individuals who get dividends
earn less than $10,000 a year.
Humphrey told the senators that
giving faster and more flexible tax
write-off of depreciation would
benefit 9.600,000 individuals, in
cluding farmers and small busi
ness men, as well as 600,000 cor
porations. "Here again," he said,
"the purpose is to stimulate em
ployment, plant expansion and
modernization."
Sen. Flanders (R-Vt) said prior
to Humphrey's appearance that if
the Democrats persuade Congress
to cut Income taxes again this
year, the revenue loss would havs
to be made up by a general sales
tax.
Farm Surplus
Storage Eyed
MEMPHIS lift A proposal that
the nation's vast agricultural sur
pluses be stockpiled In all parts
of the nation, as emergency food
in an atomic attack, won quick
approval Wednesday from farm
scientists and industrialists.
The proposal was made by
Wheeler McMillen, chairman of
the board of the National Farm
Chemurgio Council, at the coun
cil's annual meeting.
Dr. G. E. HUbert of Washington,
chief of a division of government
research attempting to find uses
for surpluses, said he sees no
technical reason why the food
can't be stored.
Other council delegates said the
Idea would solve two problems
feeding disorganized populations
scattered over the countryside in
an atomic attack, and utilizing
"embarrassing" quantities of sur
plus foods.
McMillen, editor In chief of the
farm - magazine, Farm Journal,
proposed placing food in caves;
burying it deep in the ground, or
using any other available storage
methods.
The caves, he said, would pre
vent stores from becoming con
taminated by radioactivity. He
said he planned to send the sug
gestion to the White House.

Delay Charged By McCarthy
WASHINGTON w President

delay in hydrogen bomb develop
ment as charged by Sen. McCar
thy (R-Wis), The President also
said he always has regarded com
mentator Edward R. Murrow, as
sailed by McCarthy, as a friend.
The President's remarks were
at a White House news confer
ence, during which he also said
the United States has no need to
develop a hydrogen bomb bigger
than the one it already has.
Sen. McCarthy said in a TV
speech Tuesday night that re
search on America's H-bomb was
deliberately stalled for 18 months
despite information that Russia
was pushing a similar project. He
asked u this delay would have
been possible if there had not been
Communists in the American gov

The odds were piling up Wed
nesday that George Martin, 71-year-old
missing Klamath Falls

will not be prosecuted for bogus
check charges.
Although tlie search Is still on for
the trader who disappeared after
he was reputed to have mulcted
prominent basin business men and
farmers out of more than $100,000,
he is only accused legally of Is
suing one check with insufficient
iur,as. -
The law under which he was
charged has been declared uncon
stitutional by Circuit Judge H. K.
Hanna of Medford.
Circuit Judge David R. Vanden
berg has a non-sufficient funds
check case under advisement
here. He said Wednesday it is
Indefinite when he will be able to
rule on the issue. The case in
volves J. Wesley Ambrose, i
etised of passing a check without
sufficient funds in the bank.
In the meantime, victims of
Martin's alleged bogus transac
tions were not doing much talk
ing. It is known that some of
his purported victims lost as much
as $15,000 in a single transaction.
Sheriff Murray Britton is hold
ing a warrant for Martin on a
charge of passing a worthless
check for $3,176.'
A bank official told the Herald
and News Wednesday that the
missing trader issued bogus
checks in the amount of $30,0J0
before he disappeared, A Klamath
Falls bank also has a large over
draft charged to Martin.
one of the trader's victim who
says he is "holding the bag" for
$5,000 described Martin's disap
pearance this way:
"He left town like Ringling
Brothers Circus he didn't leave a
stake on the ground."

QUESTIONED ,
The President was asked at foe
outset of Wednesday's news con
ference whether the United States
contemplates making "bigger and
bigger" hydrogen bombs.
He replied that this country has
no intention of going into a pro
gram of seeing now big a bomb lt
can make. .
He said he knows of no mili
tary requirement that would lead
to the development of a bomb big
ger than the type already in use.
Obviously he was referring to
the two hydrogen weapons tested
last month in the far Pacific,
He said the scientists have spec
ulated a bomb can be made of un
limited size big enough to blow a
hole in the earth's atmosphere
but he made lt plain he Tegarded
the size of the bomb exploded In
the Pacific as the greatest that
can be used with maximum effb
ciency. ' ' '" V 4

Urgent Plea
To Receive
Fast Action
Paris ifl France has urgent
ly asked the United States lor
more aircraft and aviation sup
plies for Indochina, especially for
the defense of the Dlen Blen Phu
fortress, a French Foreign Minis
try spokesman said Wednesday.
American offloials in Washington
made it cloar the response would
be favorable.
The request, the French spokes
man said, was presented through
normal channels in Washington.
"These requests for material aid
cannot be considered singly," he
said. "This has been a continuing
process and the latest request
should not be considered as extra
ordinary." ,
He cited the statement of Gen.
Paul Ely, chief of staff of the
French army, when he was in
Washington recently at the time
the French request for more B28
bombers was presented. The gen
eral was quoted as warning re
porters against placing too much
empnasis on a single request.
Newspapers here Tuesday had
reported that France had ad
dressed a plea for more aid from
America. The ministry's announce
ment Wednesday was Intended to
clarify as well as confirm that
report and put it In Its proper
perspective.
The spokesman continued that
the ministry wished to atress that,
despite - conflicting reports of poli
cy changes concerning Indochina,
the government's chief preoccupa
tion remains the battle of Dien
Bien Phu, which lt considers of
overriding importance.
(In Washington, American offi
cios made It clear they would
quickly' grant any new Trench re
quest for additional military equip
ment lor tne inaocnina war,
(Some 25 B26 fighter-bombers
promised to French forces in In
dochina during Ely's visit already
have been delivered. Officials of
the French embassy In Washington
said they knew nothing about any
new specific request but that it
would not surprise them if local
commanders in Indochina had ap
pealed for military assistance).

potatoes' could, lead to financial
distress.
