At last I have turned a shovel full
of dirt In my country's defense.
Honest.
While on a routine tour of the
northern edge of the sprawling
reservation along with Vic Sisson
a call came in over the radio re
porting a fire burning near the
railroad tracks lust below Kirk.
8ince we were at that moment
Ingesting a cold hamburger at
Buckhorn Springs it was quite a
drive to get to the fire. How these
guys can take pickups tnrough
son 3 of the country they do
beyond me.
Anyway, we got there and found
a member of the supresston crew
from the agency already on the
job trailing the fire. And it was
here that the historic shovel full
was turned.
I grabbed a shovel and tore out a
large chunk of dry grass with it.
In fact I was so impressed with
this task of fireflghting that I
stepped back to admire my work.
A mistake. I learned quickly, be
cause I stepped back into the fire
and not out of It.
I imagine I might have turned
several more scoops of dirt If
I hadn't had to get out of the way
JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, tfl Sen. Mc
Carthy, with time for meditation
on his 18-day vacation, seems to
have decided to back away from
the Central Intelligence Agency,
the American superspy agency.

Eisenhower, a contest In which
he might not win and for which

Besides coming on the eve of
the congressional elections in No
vember, a fight between McCarthy
and the White House could hardly
do the Republicans any good.
If the Wisconsin senator had
tried to hold public hearings on
the CIA, which he has charged
was Infiltrated with Communists,
the President Is almost certain to
have refused to let any CIA em

A public exploration Into CIA
would be more than the Russians

- It gets Is concealed, even from all
but a handful of the members of
Congress who have to vote for it.
McCarthy, never a man to use
tip all his energy on one light at
a time, said during the bearings on
his dispute with Army officials
that Communists had crawled Into
the CIA. It wasn't the first time
he mentioned something like that.
In fact, he said his staff had
been Investigating CIA since last
October. CIA Director Allen Dulles
called McCarthy's charges false
and said he had asked McCarthy
last October for any information
he had on CIA but never got an
answer. '
On July 4, Independence Day,
former President Hoover an
nounced he had named retired
Gen. Mark Clark to bead a "task
force" to study CIA's structure
and administration.
Hoover heads a commission
which Eisenhower appointed
months ago to study government
operations in general. Its primary

You have been noticing that red-

the planet Mars, the old god of
war of ancient mythology. . 1
Our red planet is this month
making Its closest approach to the
earth since 1941. Accordingly it
appears brighter to us than at any
. time since then. On July 2 it was
the nearest to us, a mere 39,750,000
' miles, and still tonight Is only
40,500,000 miles away. When most
: distant, It Is six times as far away
., ana is not o very spectacular ob
ject. The orbit of Mars around the sun
. Is outside that of our world. We
make the round trip in approxi
1 mately 365 days, while the red
! planet requires 687 days; The two
thus do not travel together. At
times they are on opposite sides
of the sun from each other; at
other times, as at present, the two
' are on the same side of the sun.
The orbits are not perfect cir
cles but somewhat oval. That of
Mars is more non-circular than the
, earth's. The sun. Is not quite In
; the center of the orbits. When the
earth and Mars meet at the times
-when we are farthest from the
aun, and the red planet Is near
est, the two then are at the closest
approach to each other.

While we have been discussing giving the same degree of financial
the problem of financing basic reel support to this great American In
reational programs and have called dustry that It has given In the past
attention to the plight of our local
forest recreational development
where only $300 a year is avail
able to take care of a fast expand
ing program in which $10,000
year would not be excessive. 1
might be well to look at another
of the recreational programs and
see what Is taking place In the
sportsman s field. The most promi
nent program to be met with
amongst sportsmen Is the one es
tabltshed by a special waterfowl
hunting tax known as the "Duck
Stamp Program.'
In 1951, the sportsmen of the na
tion, through their own organiza
tions called upon congress to have
we so-caiied "Duck Stamp Act
amended so as to double the In
come from this act for the purpose
i estaonsning a more realistic wa
terfowl management program. Pri
or to that time, everyone who hunt.
ed ducks had to pay $1 to make
nis minting sport legal. The sports
men upon their own initiative, rec
ommended to Congress that the
$1 duck stamp be increased to S3
and Congress concurred In their re
quest. All of the money collected
from the sale of the Duck Sumps
is appropriated annually to the
Pish and Wildlife Service for the
purchase of waterfowl areas, to
improve the refuge areas acquired,
to do a better Job of law enforce
ment, and to carry on basic re
search into management problems.
The intent of the sportsmen Is
perfectly clear, they are greatly
concerned with the trend of the
times that threatens to comoletelv
destroy the a port of waterfowl
shooting and they have decided to
do something on their own part to
preserve their sport, not only for
themselves but for future genera
tions as well. Federal apnroDrla-
tions were altogether too small to
do a proper Job so the sportsmen
willingly taxed themselves to es
tablish a realistic program.
Tne waterfowl program, how-

Federal responsibility established
und:r treaties with Canada and
Mexico. It Is a subject that cannot
be lightly cast aside even though
there are many people in the
country who adopt the attitude: "If
there is never another duck or
goose the time will be soon
enough." Regardless, of the opin
ions of these people the Federal
government is Trerty bound to see
that the waterfowl of- the North

THE DOCTOR SAYS
Br EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D.
Chronic fatigue Is one of the
most common complaints in mo
dern society. '
Sometimes excessive work for
too long a period, lack of sleep,
dietary Indiscretions, or a similar
explanation Is at hand. In such
cases the remedy lies In correct
ing the cause or at least not do
ing It again. -
This kind of fatigue, however,
Is not much of a problem. The
tired feeling which Is chronic and
persistent and the cause of which
cannot be easily Identified is much
more serious.
This type of fatigue is particu
larly common among housewives,
many of whom are constantly ex
ceeding their strength. The strain
of home and children cannot be
pinned down to any one event, nor
is It easy to remedy after all,
what can one do about It?
Sometimes a definite disease is.
responsible. A alight anemia, for
example, can and does produce
lack ot customary energy. Any
chronic Infection or most any dis
turbed bodily function Is also like
ly to produce that tired feeling.
Of course, if a definite disease
condition can be Identified, It can
usually be remedied. This Is the
first step In combatting fatigue.
Should nothing be found, then It
becomes necessary to analyze and
study various other factors.
The proper balance between
work, recreation and sleep has to
be worked out. Change of occupa
tion Is not often racsiaunded be
cause It usually Is not possible.

by decreasing appropriations so
that the burden of maintaining the
Federal responsibility Is shifted to
the shoulders of the American
Sportsmen.
In the face of continued drainage
of private agricultural land and
public lands being reclaimed which
Is taking more and more nesting
grounds out of production, and In
spite of an Increasing number of
duck hunters going out each year,
we find the Appropriations Com
mittee of Congress making severe
cuts In the appropriated funds for
this purpose. The Bureau of the
Budget in preparing next year's
budget lopped off ot last year's
amount $653,000 from the refuge
Item; $110,000 from essential river
basin studies designed to locate
una and water lor refuges: iioo.-
000 from law enforcement; and
$101,000 from research Into prob
lems of wildlife management. This
comes to $963,000 taken out by the
Bureau of the Budget. Then the
Committee on Appropriations rec
ommended furtner reduction In the
management Item of $463,000 below
the budget, thus we find that in a
single year the Bureau of the
Budget and the Appropriations
Committee combined, propose to
reduce the waterfowl program, at
this most critical stage, by about
Sl.AN.WU.
The only way the waterfowl pro-
gram can be kept upon the same
level of administration that has
prevailed in the past is to take
this $1,200,000 cut out of the sports-
men's kitty. This la not what was
intended by the sportsmen when
they willingly taxed themselves to
provide additional funds to supple
ment tne watenowi program,
Now sportsmen are beginning to
take an accounting of how their
kitty is being mismanaged by Con
grees and there are a lot of hot
collars developing The facts,
plain and simple, begin to disclose
that the Federal Government has
not kept faith with the sportsmen.
When conservationists and sports
men proposed legislation calling
for a duck stamp costing $1 In
1934 and again raising the price to
$2 in last tney were under the Im
pression that the funds realized
from the sale of these duck stamps
were being used for the purchase
of additional areas for sanctuaries,
refugea and breeding grounds. The
present cuts by Congress In funds
for the waterfowl program has
turned attention to this kitty and
the sportsmen now find that of the
$35,800,000 received from the sale
of stamps since 1934 only about
$6,300,000 was used for the pur
pose for which most sportsmen
thought the legislation was passed.
The adoption of a balanced diet
with plenty of vitamins Is bene-
ficlal when the abnormal fatigue
Is at least partly due to faulty
diet. Stimulating drugs are danger
ous drugs should not be used unless
unaer me advice of a physician.
An increasing interest in ctnrfv
of the problem of fatigue Is en-
tuuraging. i,ast year, for example
a symposium in the nature of an
international conference was held
In England on this subject. Also
a study from the University of
Oregon Medical School brought
out some Important points.
Some persons, the study showed,
suffer from "tension states" which
produce fatigue. People In this
group are often In good physical
health but complain of cold pers
piration, tightness of the neck
muscles, palpitation of the heart,
dry mouth, anxiety and llkeslgns.
Under such circumstances, the fa
tigue appears to be a complication
of the prolonged tension.
It Is not easy to sufficiently
change a person under such ten
sion states to abolish the fatigue,
but It can be done If he or she
learns to understand It and em
barks on a different mode of liv
ing. Training In physical and mus
cular relaxation also helps. -

pect as lo the future of every pep
son. Raising old age pensions etc
Is one of the tilings which can be
done that will help lo reduce these
aurpiusc. i d aay tills Is an angle
needing more publicity, as an aid
lo uottlng better pensions for the
eineriy people. .
Fur long ages the great social
philosophers have pointed out the
interdependence and brotherhood
actually existing between all peo
ples as human beings, became of
uie llle themselves, in the long run
is greater than the conlllcls of In
terests between people due lo the
class and casle divisions that have
developed in society with Interfer
ing interests between dillerent
classes and castes. That because
of this wherever a people as a
whole allow a continuation of neg
lect and Injustice to certain groups
among them the day must surely
come when this people will perish.
Among the great philosophies
which have pointed this great sig
nificant social truth Is the one
Christ taught. Certainly we are not
accepting any of those phlloiophlet,
as a guide to action when we do not
do our share to aee Ihe elderly
have assistance equal to their
needs. This angle of the situation
better publicised should bring more
help towards seeurement of ade
quate pensions, lt would also pro
moto among people a better un
derstanding of the kind of Chris-
tlanlty that Christ himself stood
for.
There are other angles which
publicized would aid In getting sup
port for better pensions, and Irom
this publicity benefit society In
many oilier ways. I have tried to
make plain here the lines of rl
fective strategy and tactics for
sucn agitation. Now how about
you packing the ball on It? as the
party who asked me to wrlto this
hoped might result.

Ltt'T OUT .
In your coverage of Ihe Elllngson
planing mill fire of July 4, 1954. I
noticed you gave credit to all de
partments which rendered assis
tance lo the Stewart-Lennox Fire
Department. However you made
no mention of the Stewart-Lennox
Flrebelles who carried water lo
Ihe firemen and served coffee and
sandwiches to all firemen who
could find a spare moment to par
take of such refreshments.
The organisation known as the
Stewart-Lennox Flrebelles is only
three years old. They receive and
sound alarms and serve In a stand
by capacity for the fire depart
ment, and on all major fires pre
pare and serve coffee and sand
wiches to the weary fire fighters.
And I am sure that all the mem
bers of our department feel as I
do That our auxiliary Is a wonder
ful and deserving organization.

We parciils ere forever being

apparent there Is no right and
wrong In Klamalh County,
There has been an II o'clock
curfew In Klamath Falls for many
years, but to my knowledge It has
been enforced on very tew . oc
rnslons. Now wo are lo have a
13:00 o'clock curfew, What good Is
a curlew at all If II lin t eulureed,
and do you think a cliango In time
Is going lo be any Improvement?
II Uie "clean-up" campaign Is go

doing what they "think" Is the
thing to do, to be adults. Let's
tnrl al the top.
You, Mr. D.A., If. you feel you
are doing your job to the best of
your ability, more power lo you,
but If you are not, then why not
graciously step out of the local

And yuu, Mr. Judge, Your Honor,

And are you maklntf stooges of

Don't you get a Utile Jittery at
