Today I'm blaming it on the fact that while lunging to catch the dog before he escaped his run I jammed my hand into the wire and busted a finger nail off up about halfway to the elbow. The result is that with a piece of adhesive tape plastered over the end of my finger I can't type. I could say however that the brightest spot in town right now ' is the local chamber of commerce. A nice green. And more to come, they tell me. At least it looks cheerful and the tourists should love it. Someone had a surplus of cats. That fact was evident when Jack Loser showed up at the Elks club yesterday morning to open up. There in a box on the back en trance were four of the little fellows. Just about old enough to have their eyes open and plenty old enough to have a big appetite. Del Jones offered 'cm milk, but Bert Hall went a step further. He gave them to the office force there, complete with a bottle and nipple for feeding and bis good wishes. But no one knows where they came from. They weren't Bert's. Ha Just gave 'em away out of the goodness of his heart. The hallway at the courthouse is all cluttered up these days with official ballot boxes being readied for use. Looks like Red Britton will have his hands full for a while. Rattlesnake Pete, Klamath's most colorful public figure, was in yesterday Inquiring plaintively why no one has done anything about the pack trip idea for this area. Pete is all set to furnish the local color and glamor for the visiting tourists. ' A tip to the chamber or some other enterprising outfit: Pete is a natural. He's got the flowing locks, the authentic look, the su guns and all the other necessary Items. It wouldn't be a bad idea to look into.

Yet they may lead to the adoption of a national policy to wards our water resources, inese meetings are being conducted by the commission on organisation of the executive branch oi we govern ment, task force on water resource m and Bower. Admiral Ben Morrell is chairman of this important group wnicn is - studying the federal governments activities in water resources and which win make recommendations that could lead to a national water mile of which there Is none The first of these hearings has .li-esrtv been held at San Francisco on May 3, MM. This meeting did sot generate much in the way of headline news and perhaps for this ' reason a great many people-failed to realize the importance oi me event. Perhaps someone irom ioe Klamath Basin attended the event . but so far I have not come in con tact with him. The second hearing of the series la to be held at Denver on May IT: the third session will be held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on June 1; then the task force goes to New York City bn June 14; and will re turn to the Pacific Coast on June SS for bearing in Portland, Ore gon. Down In California at the hear ing there, which took two days, the task force listened to the pros and cons on public power, 'mere were several witnesses that told the commission that the federal government should curtail its ac tivity in the water ana power ausi- ness and California's biggest private utility, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, said It's pre pared to pay cash for all power facilities of the Center Valley Proj ect. The AFL California Federa tion of Labor and the Sacramento Municipal Utilities district and others favored the continuation of the present reclamation program. - The most news headline item of the hearing was when Robert H. Oerdes, vice president and gener al counsel of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company tossed a bomb shell Into the meeting when he said PG&E would pay cash for all power facilities of the giant CVP generating plants at Folsom, Kes- Telling The Editor , NICKED AGAIN I see that us dear old tax payers are going to be nicked again, that is if our mayor and some of his so-called friends get away with it. Being a taxpayer who has been nicked again and again I ought to be getting used to it by now, but the underhanded way they are trying to get away with this one sort of sticks In my craw. In the first place we aren't be ing asked to pay just 1186,000, . that Is only the face value of the Initial bonds; add on Interest that will be paid on the ticket will be a lot closer to twice that amount. And In the second place when finally confronted with the direct question, our leader (?) has the , nerve to say that the proposed route win actually cost 1300,000, maybe $350,000, anyway he Just hasn't made up his mind as yet ' just how fancy he Is going to pave : this road to his "rendesvous with destiny," in the first place. So It ne is so confused what does he think we are? , iur uuc, uims. miis one ougni to be tossed back in the basket and slept on until they can at least come up with something that makes sense. . Mabel Logan Bishop' 132 Oak Street wick and Shasta dams, and trans mission lines. This statement came about in an informal statement during the time the commission was questioning Gerdes after' he had finished a prepared statement advocating private control of the transmission lines of the big proj- ect. Gerdes testified that the turn- tag of CVP power facilities to PG&E would save the federal treasury three million dollars year and raise PGfcE's federal tax bill $800,000 and local state tax bill 1600.000 a year. The PG&E offer to purchase the federal facilities was an extension of the stand the company took sev- eral weeks ago before the house sub-committee hearing at Redding wnen it proposed mat it rather than the federal government build the electric facilities of the Trinity River diversion project. This first offer rather stunned the federal power boosters but the statement at San Francisco really toucnea on crys of anguish. otner testimony before the com' mission was against the invasion of Dinosaur National Monument by a project oemg pusned Dy tne in terlor department in an attempt to break down the present program of protection of the national park sys tem irom power ana water proi ects. The Sierra Club. California's big conservation organization-took tnis defense of the national monu The California State Chamber of Commerce took a stand before, the task force on nubile nower rate.. The chamber stated that public power should be sold at Identical rates to both public and private power agencies. The Southern California Edison Co. presented testimony to the ef fect that the government should re. fraln from the development of wa ter resources when it is feasible for private enterprise to do the lob. Furthermore, there' was no neces sity for federal development In the southern California area served by uie company. The Los Armeies Department nl Light and Power, which is a public utUity of local origin, attacked the federal government's policies and demanded that "hidden subsidies" In federal multi-purpose develop ments be fully disclosed. Tne Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce appeared with the de mand mat every water project be required to "pay its own way." These meetings beln held hv the task force are exceedingly import ant and should be watched care fully since national policy Is in the process of formation. NEW YORK I How can you get bananas to stay ripe longer by making them breathe less? How tough should a Jelly bean be? What Is the correct wall thick ness of a piece of macaroni? How can you tell whether canned peas are young, middle-aged or elderly? These problems would baffle the best of housewives, but a man- one man anyway finds them quite simple. He is George GarnaU, a pioneer in the rapidly expanding Held of food engineering. "I've been stuck with food prob lems for 33 years. ' said GarnaU, "ever since I wrote a graduate thesis on the soda cracker when I was studying to be a chemical engineer. Nobody before had ever written a theses about soda crack ers. Chemical engineers then didn't pay. much attention to the study of food processes." Today, as director of the Kroger Food Foundation in Cincinnati, Garoats and a staff of 25 work in a laboratory full of weird ma chines developed to see that mama gets what she pays for at the grocery store. "Our devices test food products mechanically and objectively," said Garnatz "They take the ele ment of human opnion out of it, so we can get down to the real tacts about food. "Last year we made more than 197.000 scientific inspections of 1,000 food items. Only a fraction of one per cent had to be rejected because the manufacturers had misrepresented them or they weren't up to government grade." With a simple micrometer Gar natz can measure a piece of mac aroni to be sure that it has the proper wall thickness. A quick-cooking macaroni should be about 26-1 ,000th of an inch thici." he said. "Slow cooking macaroni can be up to 4-100th of an Inch. We can allow up to S-I.OOOta of an Inch variation and still guarantee uniform cooking quality." How do you tell young neas from old peas? simple. By tne difference Between sinkers and floaters. 'As peas get older they get more dense, because they are con verting their sugar to starch," ex plained Garnatz. "In a can of top grade fancy peas not more than 3 per cent of them should sink more than 2 inches in a 13 per cent salt solution in 10 seconds." He has an ingenious device which automatically can put a can of peas to this test and separate the tender young floaters from the tired old sinkers. Other gadgets in his laboratory look as if they had been invented by Rube' Goldberg. The fluorome- ter ugnts up tne vitamins In food and shows if they are present in the right amount. The conslstome ter measures the densit of such products as creamed corn, apple sauce and cake batter. The crumb pressure tester squeezes bread and checks Its freshness and re sistance to staling. mere is also a "cookie tortur er" called a sbortometer. The cookie or soda cracker Is placed across two parallel bars, A third metal arm then swings down and measures how much force Is re quired to crumble It. "A nice, flaky soda cracker ought to break under 2 to 2 i pounds ot pressure." said Gamuts learnedly. "If it has too much moisture content or Is made wlih too little shortening, it may take more than 3 pounds to snap it. Shows It's too tough." With a sharp-edged sheartcster he can also cut through and test beef or jelly beans. A jelly bean that can't atand up to 1 pounds pressure Is too soft to keep Its shape; one that xnn take more than 11 pounds Is too tough for the Juvenile trade. Once while experimenting wth bananas ' a laboratory- assistant saw a can of floor wax nearby uu Muuurira aioua wnat would happen If they coated a banana with It. "Let's try It and see." said Gar nan. They found the waxed ba nana stayed ripe twice as long as untreated bananas, "Naturaly we couldn't sell food with floor wax on It," Garnatz said. "But we have now developed a harmless odorless wax. and you'll see waxed bananas 'on the market before the end of the year. "The wax slows down their re spiration rate. Sure ripe bananas breathe. So do potatoes, although of course potatoes respire more slowly than lettuce or celery. This respiration, populprly speaking. Is really a form of dying the giving off of carbon dioxide and oxygen by fruits and vegetables." BPCB.1I.. nf him Mnil.tU. food expert, hostesses are some-1 wmcs a oit uneasy when GarnaU comes to dinner. But his wife set tled that. problem long ago In their own home. She bosses the kitchen, insists on doing the cooking. "She's a good cook, too," said Garnatz, loyaly. She'd have to be with a man like her "husband to please. DEATH ROCHESTER.

Iran MsEx-Premler Mohammed Mossadegh, his three year solitary confinement sentence confirmed by an army appenls court says ne will take his case to Iran s highest court. The appeals court voted 6-1 last night to uphold the sentence Im posed by military tribunal. Mos sadegh was convicted Dec. 31 of seeking to overthrow Shoh Mo hammed Rcza Pahlevl Inst Auitusl. The ex-dlcliitor was thrown out a. short time later by the royalist forces of Gen. Fazollnh Zahedl, who took over as premier. Mossadegh said he would appeal to the Iranian Supreme Court. The Shah would have to approve shifting the case from the military to the civilian courts.' The appeals court also increased the prison sentence of Mossadegh's former army chief of stalf, Oeii. Taghl Rluhl, from two to three years. Rlnhl was convicted of or. dering the army to defy the Shah's order that Mossadegh quit.
