Out of the whole trip, however, I think the one thing that impressed me most was the ab sence ol 'no trespassing" signs over in the eastern portion ol the state. Out here we get used to seeing a Keep Out sign on every lence post, rney just seem to oc a part of the country. But from Prineville on to Baker we didn't see a total of dozen warnings. Maybe they have worked out some sort of system over there so there isn't ny trouble. I know that on one of the barns the other side of John Day is a big sign that says "Hunters cau tion, don't shoot just anything that moves. It may be our hired hand." What the casualty list on hired hands is I couldn't say. Another thing w-e noticed about the eastern pan of the state was the grass growing under the pines. Not Just a mat of pine needles such as we experience on this side ' of the mountains, but a tall, lux ' uriant growth of nice green grass. Up on the side of Dixie Pass we startled a doe and a fawn from the side of the road and watched as they took their leisurely way down a alight bank, across a little creek and up into the timber. Made a pretty sight. Another thing you notice over there Is the great number of horses. And people riding them on j Sunday morning. Passed two doz en early morning riders between Baker and Mitchell, all Just out tak ing the air. Most of the horses are fine and lot, niost are bays, and all of em look happy. . Mitchell should be the envy of all the Klamath Falls TV fans. The little town nested in the bot tom of a canyon and completely bypassed by the highway has population of just over 500 but they can boast of having their I cnoice of three channels. And we think we're doing well wiui a ireaa bounce on one. As you breeze across those vast areas over there you can't nelp but wonder at the hardy pio neers who came that way in 1943 to louna the Old Oregon Trail, markers for which you run Into every little while along the road. That they left some of their pos sessions behind is plain: As you stop at the little wayside places along the road you U see dress er, or a china safe or rocker that was obviously brought over the plains. At one stop we ran into one of the most beautifully carved back bars we have seen anywhere. And the place was just a little one-arm greasy spoon hidden on the slopes of one of the many passes you climb over. When you roar over it at SO or 70 miles an hour you wonder what mental altitude it would take to crawl over it at three or four miles an hour with a wagon train. If you could 'maintain that speed. ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD . ; James Ma now The dual standard of justice prao uced by tne wane man was ever a source of confusion tor tne red ; man. It 'was wrong for Captain Jack and his leaders to assassinate the Peace Commission of white men, a heinous crime, in the eyes of the white man and for which Jack paid bis life upon the gallows at Fort Klamath. However, again In the white man s code it waa an honorable act for Ben Wright to do the same thing and slaughter group of Indians under a similar nag of truce. Disgrace ol one Donor for the other, and, for bis vigorous acts in "pacifying" In. dlans, Wright was made an Indian Agent. Hardly can it be said that the Indians did not have cause to look with suspicion upon every statement, of the white man. In the history of the settlement of our country the Modoc War is important inasmuch it was a spec tacular symbol dramatizing the end oi an era of tne occupation of the land by the red man. Actually the war need never nave been fought and the outcome was forordalned. Jack knew before he took up arms that final victory must rest with tne wnnes. wnue the conquerors . might make a gesture of granting nun some oi tne freedom he asked tor. Nevertheless, the freedom he sought and upon which the whole Indian civilization was based was something the white man would never grant this was the freedom so eloquently voiced by Chief Jos eph a few years later "Let me De a free man free to travel. free to stop free to think nd talk and act for myself . . .' rteedom of movement is not compatabie with private ownership of land and without freedom of movement the Indian tribal organl. zation, Indian religion, and custo mary inaian economic processes could not function for the Indian uvea -oil" the land not "on" the land. As for the freedom to "think ana talk and act" for oneself in the world being fashioned for the inaian oy tne white man there would be as much of that as could oe used by prisoners in a stockade. Private ownership of land as is practiced By the white man was a concept that was at first lncomprc- uciieiDie ro me inaian yet the deal tags between the white men and the Indian were drawn UDon the. basia of land tenure. The white man nev er seemea to understand the in. dlan point of view. This is one Item we must seep in mind if we are to attempt to understand the forces oi conmcr, mat created the war oi 1872. Those of us of the white race know the full meaning of ownership auu, uui me inaian oi a cen tury ago had ho such backcrrniinri of knowledge. Even Indians with a generation of Christian training, who had lorsaken most their pagan beliefs had diiflculty In understand ing the Idea that land could be bought and sold and fenced. Tribes might fight fiercly with one another jur me numing ana other privi leges that an area might process, but the acquisition of these rights were merely rights to "use" the land. Inaians never dreamed ol challenging the equal right of any tribe, if the other was strong enough to maintain It. Such conflicts were very rare and Intertribal battles grew out of minor grievances, which, after the coming of the horse, usually stemmed lrom horse thetts. such battles Involved small bands and resulted in but few casualties. Dr. R. T. Lindley OPTOMETRIST 510 Med.-Dent. Bldfl. Ph. 4215 Eye Exomlnotion Visual Training Years after the whites negotiated treaties with different tribes of In dians, both in the United States and in Canada, we find some chiefs nro- testing in all sincerity that they nan not unaerstooa tney were "sell ing" the land of their fathers. They thought they had just granted the white man a "use" of the land. The Indian was the first nun unon the soil and entitled to its use they had yielded their right to the white man except for certain reserved portions they retained for them selves. To this day there are some mourns who find it difficult to dif lerenUate between his reservation. which bis tribe owns, and the much larger areas on which the tribe held the bunting rights only. This form of conflict in Indian wincing is to be noticed in the acts ana statements of Cantaln Jack when the arguments over the In dian treaty were voiced to him by the emmlssarys of the Indian De partment as being the reason whir he ntust go and remain upon the inaian reservation. one thing that has never been mentioned in this conflict between the red man and the white, has been the Dreamer's religion the teaching of the Indian prophet omouaua. wneiner or not Cantaln Jack was Influenced by the teach ing of this prophet is one point that has never been discussed by the early white men, it is clearly evi dent, however, that Jack must nave been famllar with the teach. tag of this prophet. Telling The Editor NEW ROUTE I have Just learned that the people of Klamath Falls bave turned down the proposed truck route through the city and I believe tney used good Judgment. Having veca a long time former resident and liking to spend my summers in njamain, l am very much in- terestea m Klamath Falls. I talked about using Washburn Way for a through highway route ui yui inrougn trainc and trucks tnrougn easily to one of the parole in your otfice some time ago and ne onerea to publish a map with icuer oi explanations so I am sending you such a map herewith. This route would take the trucks off at Sixth and nut them out on r.spianaae from Spring street. This route would go through the under pass proposea by the Great North. ern on Washburn Wav and would oe level ana only a fraction of the cost of other proposed routes. Inns. much as it would be all State High- way the City of Klamath Fall. wouio not be required to nay gny of the cost. The autos that wished to ainn in Klamath Falls would use th Ms in Street Route as at present. Klanv am rails Is continuing to grow and needs an adequate solution such as uns one for the future.

Ward end Sent 92i High Fhon 3334 fcnTrTmrTBfl WASHINGTON I This country superspy outfit, the Central Intel ligence Agency, is so secret that even Congress, which votes money for it, knows less about It than about any other major govermeiu agency. Former President Truman set It up in 1947, with the approval of Congress, when, it became clear Russia, the wartime friend, had be come the peacetime enemy. Con- I gress has let it operate behind a screen ever since. Only five or six members know how much money Congress voles for CIA every year. Congress as a whole doesn't know. The lunds are scattered and concealed among the appropriations for other agencies. There have been guesses CIA spends between 500. and 800 million dollars a year. But even the num ber of CIA's employes is secret. Guesses on this run from 8,000 to 30,000. CIA officials do give some com mittees of Congress pieces of in formation. Because of the nature ! of its work the CIA can't, like the Labor Department, for example, ay au lis caras on tne la Die. This much is publicly known of tne cia: 1. It does its work overseas, spy ing on tne communists, its Job is to find out what they're up to day by day and, in case the Reds plan an attack, to give the country plenty oi warning. 2. It coordinates the information gathered by six other government agencies which have intelligence agents of their own: Army, Navy, au- force, state Department, Atomic Energy Commission and tne lai. At about that point, outside knowledge of the CIA stops. Con gress, being shut off from a close look, can't tell much about CIA's work, good or bad. Presumably oniy president Elsenhower and those closest to him know. Because of the dark wall around It, the CIA cannot very well pub- nciy claim creait lor Its successes. By the same token, any failures are concealea. The CIA was roundly criticized in 1950 on the grounds it failed to give this country warning about the Communist attack on South Korea. Shortly thereafter Truman replaced the CIA boss. Rear Adm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter. with Gen. Walter Bedell Smith. ' Smith, who had been President fctsennower's chief of staff in Europe during World War II. picked Allen Dulles, a lawyer and brother of the present secretary oi state, jonn Foster Dulles, to be one of his deputies. When Elsenhower took over as president he moved Smith over to tne state Department as under secretary and made Allen Dulles neaa of the CIA. The CIA has been called a cloak- ana-aagger outfit, mixed un in var. ious enterprises, besides spying, to sie uie iommunisis the miseries. It may, for Instance, have helneri engineer uie moj uprising of the East Germans against the Com munists. Sen. McCarthy (R-Wls) has talk ed cryptically of Communist in filtration of the CIA. Dulles says this is false. McCarthy has talked of investigating the CIA. He start ed to do so once before but Dulles blocked him. Meanwhile, 31 senators. Demo crats and Republicans, who have no connection with McCarthy's particular Interest in the CIA, say it's time Congress was able to keep closer tabs on the agency. Last March Sen. Mansfield ID Mont) offered a resolution backed by 20 other senators to set up a joint committee on central Intel ligence. It would be composed of five House members and five sen ators, i Its purpose: To nuke a contlnu. Ing study of CIA's activities and prooiems. The members of this committee men, without divulging details that had to be secret, could inform both houses on what should oe aone to and for the CIA. The Atomic Energy CommlKKinn almost as secret as the cia inr It controls this country's atomic development, Is under constant check by a similar congressional committee, a relationship which has worked well. There has been no action on the. Mansfield resolution and probably won oe mis year. NAME THE PONY CONTEST HEY KIDS!

(This is the chair that has the worn seat marks of Emesl Hem lngway reverently outlined with an Indelible pencil each morning. The seat .marks of Oscar Wilde are preserved on a mauve chair in the cafe around the corner.) "Will M'sieu have a bit of his favorite wine?" inquired Macqucs. my favorite old sommelter iwc call him "Mac", who paints post cards for tourists in bis off hours. Clean postcards, too not a speck of dust on them. I hesitated. In America what one drinks often determines how one feels. But to us sons and habitues of the left bank It Is the other way around. How we feel determines what we drink. It Is the'dlllerence between savagery and civilisation At the moment, Macaues, don't know which Is my favorite wine," I confessed. "My mood is mixed." Perhaps M'slcu desires th crimson excitement of Burgundy, or the nutbrown- wonder of An jou," suggested Macques. "Docs the buried sunshine of Bordeaux call to M'sieu, or the crunchy goodness of Alsace? No? Perhaps then, the clangor of Cotes du Rhone?" 'Ah, no Mncques. I do not wish to be difficile, but their sounds pall upon my palate." "I understand. Is It possible that M sieu demands the pole cold con solation of a Jeraboam of cham pagne?" It makes' me hiccup, ' I said coldly. "Besides, you know Cham' pagne is only for brides, tourists and . . . and breakiast. "Oui, M'sieu." "No, Macques. I am weary of all known pleasures. A million taxi horns resound In my ears, and I have barely escaped death this day from 10. 000 maddened bicy. clists. I feel Insecure. Have you no wines that will wipe away the pres ent, bring back my youth and summon up sweet remembrances of things past?' 'Ah, yes, but two brands In all our cellar." said Macqucs. "They are very rare. But I do not like to see you troubled, and since you re a true connoisseur I will bring you them." Vintage?" I asked, suspicious. ly. But yes," said Macques of. fended.

NEW YORK irrv Elsenhower and Churchill aro talking things over again this week In an eco nomic atmosphere that has changed markedly since their last meeting. John Bull s needs aren I as nr gent. Uncle Sain s purse Isn't as bulging. Political turmoil between . the East and West may be greater to. day. But Europe's dollar gap isn showing much now. And Its Indus trial and currency problems are a lot less pressing. There's even talk that In a few months England's pound sterling may again be strong enough to walk alone, freely convertible with the dollar If a reserve lund to bolster it is set up. Just In case Europc'a comparatively happy sltualloh Is due partly to the gains in trade and Industry It has made during the time America s produc lion was slipping. It also is due partly to the con' tlnued high contributions by Uie United Slates, measured In do! lars. In spite of the policy ol economy in tills country, dollars have flowed abroad in much great er volume than either Europeans or Americans anticipated a year ago. Direct aid has continued, a! though the accent haa been largely military. And American tourists, businessmen and military person nel have spent Ireely. The notion, widely held abroad that when America's boom stub bed Its toe, Europe would have another sinking spell like llMos, hasn't come true. This Mine there's been scarcely a bobble on the other aide of the Atlantic. The United States la atlll the in dustrlal and financial kingpin. But (he economic dependency of lis European allies isn t as great now few yeara back. And this may color some of the decisions to be made this week in Washington. The reasons Europe didn't go Into a lM9-type tallspin this time, when United States' business ac tivity took a aomewhat similar breather, are these: Europe has succeeded In check tag Its Inflation spree to a large extent. It has built up stronger gold and dollar reserves, and hence Its cuirency Is tougher. in IMS Europe's imports to this country took a sharp tumble. Part of this was due to the inventory rvM.Inn Mara, 4,h nt It hn. ever, was duo to American buyers waiting for the expected currency devaluations abroad to come about Don't Take ft for Granted ! Packard, Studebaker Plan Merger Br DAVID J. Wtl.KIF. AP Automotive Editor NEW YORK uT-8torkholdara of Packard Motor Car Co. and the Ptudebaker Corp. will vole Aug. 17 on whether to combine the two pioneer auto companies. A consolidation of the two re maming "Independents" among Uie car makers haa been approved by their directors. The plan calls for election of James J. Nance. 63-year-old president of Packard, aa president and prinrlpal executive officer of Uie new company. The new organisation would be known aa the Sludrbaker-Paekard Corp. Technically Uie program pro posea the purchase by Packard of Sludebakcr's assets. Paul O. lloflman, 83.ycar.old Stu- drunker board chairman, will be come chairman of the new com pany, Harold 8. Vance, 83. presl' dent of Studebaker, will head an executive operating group. Principal headquartera of the new company will be In Detroit, home of Packard. Submitted to atockholdera will be a proposal for reclassification of Packard atock on Uie bases of one share for each live presently held. Then Studebaker atockholdera, II Uiey approve the proposal, would gel l'j shares of uie new com. puny stock for each ahare of StU' debaker common they now have. The net result of the atock tran. suction will be Uiat the new 8lu dcbaker-Packard organltaUon will as they Inevitably did. This lime American Imports fell olf scarcely at all. Now, too, the European nations are trading more Ireely with each other and are less dependent upon American importation of their goods. But perhaps the biggest Euro pean .economic gains have come about .through the continuing flow of American dollars abroad. have about j million aliares of stock outstanding. Two distinct and separate anlen organlsallona will be maintained to handle Packard's medium and hlRhpriced lines and Bludebiiker's luw and low-inedluin priced cats and over-all tmck line.
