In The

By FRANK JKNKINN
Democrutlo Senator Albert Core
of Tennanspe snys tins morning Uie
administration has no time to lose
In making up Its mind on the U.S.
course In Indochina and Southeast
Asia.
He adds that lie agrees with a
weekend alatemenl by Senate Re
publican Lender Knowland to Uie
effect Uiat Uie free world has come
to a Jumping off placo and we can't
let Uie reds keep swallowing terri
tory In Indochina while the talking
grx-s on In Oeneva.
The drift of Knnwland'a state
ment (with which Democrat Oore
saya he agrees) is that a decision
is looking us in Uie eye.
Well, we DON'T want to do any
more fighting against Uie will of
those we're supposed to be fighting
for. And I'm pretty sure we don't
want any more United Nations
wars In which we do 90 per cent ot
the fighting and the spending.
That's playing the Russian game,
and we can't afford to go on play
ing Russia's game. It's too much
like Russian roulette.
Ho rd aay we ARK looking a
decision In the eye.
We aren't going to decide that
one here In the Klamath country,
ao let's do a Utile talking about
soma ot our HOME problems. One
of our problems Is shsll we or shall
we not consolidate what we call
our "metropolitan area' Into one
city that will show In Uie census
reports a population of 36,000 to
30.000.
Wo are unfortunate from that
standpoint In Uiat our city limits
are atlll about Uie same as In the
days when Klamslh Falls was re
garded as a temporary boom town
that would be given back to Uie
Indians as soon as Uie timber waa
cut out and Uie lumber Industry
moved on. Our population has
grown, but Uie growth doesn't
show up in Uie census reports be
cause uie nunc oi it nas seen out-
aide the city limits.
Regardless of Uie growth that
haa taken place, our census popu
lation continues to show up In Uie
M.ooo to 11.000 bracket.
Why la that bad?
This, I think, Is the answer.
We're gunning for more Industrial
development. We have Uie re
sources including favorable geo-
i graphical location and adequate
transportation to attract a fair,
ly large Industrial growth. Our ba
sis resources haven't as yet been
any more than scratched on Uie
aurface.
A city of 36.000 or mora ts more
attractive to Industry. Over and over
we've been told by promising pros
pect that our population la a little
too small. The assertion thai more
than 36,000 people live In the city
and Its immediate suburbs doesn't
seem to be Impressive. The cen
sus report don't show It, and
people prefer to believe the census
reports.
The problem of extending the
city limits must be approached, If
at all, from the angle of what Is
best for everybody city and
suburbs alike. It can be done only
It a majority of the people con
cerned Uilnk It Is the best thing
to do.
The problem seems to be at least
worth thoughtful and Intelligent
consideration, In general, there
are public services that are wanted
by Uie people. It Is reasonably pos
sible thst Uiese services schools,
parks, playgrounds, libraries, mu
seums, public auditoriums, fire
protection, sewage disposal, street
naving, street cleaning, snow re
moval In the winter, police pro
tection, etc. can bo provided
more effectively by one municipal
organisation than by several.
That has been the general ex
perience nil over the country It Is
one reason wny tnese puonc ser
vices that people want are uniform
ly better in the larger cities,
This la no time to say we're
going to do it. We WON'T do It un
less a majority of the people con
cerned want to do It. But - It la
a very good time to study the
problem carefully with the Idea of
finding out what can be done and
how much It will cost and what the
benefits will be.

see more than a few feet. It's
still snowing and blowing hard up
there and visibility la practically
zero."
He said none suffered serious
effects from being marooned "ex
