1 SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1954 PAGE FOUR HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON FRANK JENKINS BILL JENKINS Editor Managing Editor Entered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls, Ore., on August 20, 1806, under act of Congress, March S, 1879 MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is entitled exclusively to the use for publication of all local news printed in this newspaper as well as all AP news SUBSCRIPTION RATES MAIL Bt CARRIER 1 Month t 1.35 I Month t 1.3S 6 Months t 6.50 6 Months S .10 1 Year 111.00 1 Veer 116.30 BILLBOARD On several occasions in the past I have had reason to quarrel with both the driving public and the city officials who make and enforce the traffic laws. Today I feel In the mood to tack le an entirely separate case ihat aflects both. The P and T. Known as the parker and talker. He's the guy, or girl, who sees a friend on the sidewalk and promptly brakes bis car to a stop, blasts his horn, motions his pal over and Indulges in a long conversation, carried on over an obligato of protesting horns in the rear. This menace Is one that should be put in the same category with the bottle smasher. Nothing is more annoying than to be tooling down the street, minding your own business and trying to make an appointment on time and then have one of these gabby street hogs hold a convention in the mid die of the street. Not only does he hold you up, he holds up everyone on the street. And Just to make it worse they are all fresh air fiends. They either roll down the right hand window and lean across the seat to shout out the window, killing their motor in the process, or they open the left hand door, stand on the running board (it the car has one, the street it It doesn't) and talk over the roof of the car. j How they can be so deaf to the i horns and still hear what their companion Is saying is beyond me. Or maybe they don't worry. Maybe they are all deaf and read lips. I don't suppose it will be acted on, but I'm not entirely sure that breaking out the public stocks again wouldn't be a pretty good Idea. Oflenders In the class of bot tle smashers, street talkers and road hogs aren't going to be cured ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD The Census Bureau' has esti mated that the national population of our country will reach 206, 000,000 peoplo by 1076. Tills as sumption is based upon the prem ise that present birth rates will gradually decline and reach the prewar level by 11)75. Naturally, such a point of view must adopt the assumption there will be no man created catastrophe like some vision, a predicted b 1 g "Oust" that would end all "busts," or a World War HI. Sucli an increase in population growth would become a 36 per cent increase over the 1050 census figure. Agricultural economists look at this souring figure and tell i: that In their opinion, alter al ' lowing for the ago composition of ine population and making the as sumption that the American people will financially be able to continue the advancement of the general standards of living the over-all national increase in lite demand lor food is likely to be 50 per cent greater in 1975 than the demand In 1050. I'pon tills single observation we find the Bureau of Reclamation and local boomers beating the drum for "pork barrel" developments that are alleged as being needed "now" to xcep the United States from starving to death. Such prop aganda keeps drumming on and on with monotonus repetition in spite of tne fact that we face troublesome surpluses of certain farm commodities. A great many economists, whose Jobs are not lied ir, with ability to create poli tical Jack-pots, are not particular ly exclled by the picture now pre dicted for the comparatively im mediate future. In this picture they do not vision national starvation but merely predict that the long term demand outlook for many ag ricultural products will generally by very strong. , Nationally we have lived from approximately the same total acre age of cropland since 1910. Tills . is one basic factor a great many land boom economists preier to Ig nore. During this 40 year period It must be admitted a considerable amount of new land was brought under cultivation which merely rlfset the land lost by unwise ex ploitation must we continue to ' develop new land and Ignore the losses to erosion and poor land ' management? 10 make such an admission merely would emphasize our national negligence and turn the spot light of public r7c upon a very important problem It would be found far less expensive to the public purse to conserve ihe land we now have and to pro tect It from the ravages of nam.-. l forces than to spend uncounted billions to ptovide new lands to replace those we so cheerfully neglect. The fact that e could have four decades of tremeuduous pop ulation expansion on the same to tal acreage of cropland and end with troublesome problems of over production is one of the most sig nificant factors of our times. We are now expected to believe that the next two decades will change all this and those two famous charac ters of the Four Hoisemen" Famine and Death are already getting ready to greet us on our doorstep with outstretched arms. During these four decades we have been faced with the necessity Third Street MOTEL Juir off Wain at Third A Good Place to Stay by a fine or two and a lecture from the Judge. But I'll bet a couple of hours in the storks at the corner of Sixth and Main would cure 'em forever. If you happen to be a Myna bird lover I've got bad news for you. A new amendment to the Lacey Act prohibits the import of the follow- ing types of Mynas: common. In j dtan, common Ceylon, Chinese j crested, Siamese yellow billed. As j sim yellow billed, Indian Jungle, Jungle, Malay Jungle, buffalo, bank and collared Mynas. You can still bring in a talking Myna, but he'd better have his pa pers in order and be in good voice. I Those customs boys are real sharks when it comes to Mynas. In case you're interested you can't import a mongoose, or any I plural number of that species of i Herpcstes auropunctatus either. (I j guess I got around the plural on that one alright). Nor can you bring into this country flying foxes, Iruit bats, English sparrows or starlings. Starlings, by the way. have an odd scientific name: Slur nus vulgaris. You figure it out. I can't say for sure, and I'm sure it's not serious enough to send for the Secretary of Interior to find out, but I think maybe I al ready have a fruit bat around the place. At leBst something Is eating up the leaves on the petunias, chop ping off the radish tops and eating the lettuce In the garden but leav ing the beets and turnips along. And no tracks. No tracks at all. If this thing goes on much long er I may turn into an old bat watcher. Or should I say bat watcher-for? of expanding our production of the supply of human food. Perhaps It might be wrong to say "faced with necessity" since to phrase our sentence In such a fashion would give the implication of forced activity, and such as not been the case. A gradual Improved eco nomic status has made possible ine application of a continuously Improved technology. As one ex ample, this technology completely exchanged the agricultural picture by supplanting horses and mules as the major source of farm pow. er. With motorized eouiument. a large area of land has been re leased to human use from the pro duction of feed for these animals. It is said that the acreage for hu man use was supplemented by more than one third since 1910 by this shift in the form of power to do work on the farms. The amount of cropland that now remains to raise feed for horses and mules would only add about five percent to tne Human use acreage If all the animals were Immediately re moved from the present agrlcultur al picture. There are, of course, possibili ties of increasing the nation's cron. land by public works of tremen duous cost to the American pub lie; but, set off against such possi bilities are losses of farm land to uncontrolled natural forces and a much greater problem the loss of farm land to residential and indus trial sites, highways, and airnorts. The crop land In 1953 exceeded the farm land in 1919 by only two per cent. Yet last years production yielded ample food for 65 million more people, a 50 per cent in crease In population in the 35 yens, this illustrates the power of the natural development of technol ogy. Ye: It remains still a moot question If technology can keep pace wilh a clvllliatlon that con tinuously threatens the most use ful of our crop lands by turning them from agricultural production to other uses. Take for instance! the land required for super-highway development, a 160 foot right-of-way takes up almost 30 acres per mile. Urban communities are expanding tremenduouslv and air ports naturally follow to cover some ' oi tne very best of agricultural land now in production.

It has been talking steadily, all day and all -night, around the clock, since Wednesday morning on atomic, en ergy. It probably will still be talk ing on this next week. Sen. Knowland of California, Sen ate Republican leader, made up his mind he'd get action on the admin istration's bill to make some major changes in the atomic energy law if he had Ho keep the 86 senators. Including himself, in steady session to the point of exhaustion. His challenge was taken up by a number of Democrats and Sen. Morse, Oregon Independent, who don't like the changes and prob ably wanted to show him they couldn't be pushed. They've done most of the talking. And they've had plenty of excuses for talking. ine atomic energy act, passed in 1940, is the basic law on the de velopment and control of atomic power for both military and peace ful uses. That act contains 21 sec tions. The bill now before the Sen ate would make changes in all 21 sections. And while one senator might be willing to buy one change, but not another, and since the Democrats as a group don't like the bill as a whole, they're having a field day arguing against the bill, piece by piece. Although Knowland is deter mined he'll keep the Senate in ses sion until the bill is settled, one way or the other, and he hopes it will be settled In favor of the ad ministration, he's up a bit of a tree. He had hoped the Senate could wind up its year's work by the end of July. In fact, he had planned on it. His schedule is getting booted out the window. And that Isn't all. The House was to begin debate on the same bill on its side of the Capitol today. Since there is a limit on debale in the House, that chamber should make up Its mind, for or against, pretty fast. But if it passes the bill and the Senate doesn't, there won't be any changes in the 1946 law. If House and Senate both pass, and changes voted into the bill in both cham bers are not identical, then thev'll have to set up a Joint committee to Iron out the differences. And when that's done, if it can be HUGH Now that the bright moon Is gone from the early evening sky and does not rise until around midnight, all lovers of the hea vens have an opportunity to see the celestial lights at their best, so thickly set in the universal im mensities. Look early lor Venus, still Ror geous in the western twilight. This splendid planet is above the hor izon for two hours after sunset. Mars with his fierce and fiery red ness is still a brilliant object low In the south although he has faded somewhat from his maximum bril liance at the first of the month. The Perseld meteors, which reach their maximum abundance around August -11, are beginning to appear as occasional little lights dashing across the stars. At Its best now and in August when the moon is absent is that mysterious and faint white band across the heavens known as the Milky Way. Two hours or more after sunset Ls an ideal time for viewing this so-called Galaxy, for then it extends entirely across the sky from the stars of Perseus low in the north-northeast to Sagittar ius and Scorpius in the deep south. Far from uniiorm throughout, it breaks into many irregularities of nebulous light ot vaiylns width and brightness. Overhead it divides into two distinct branches, which continue side by side toward the south. In classical mythology this sky band was considered by some as the dust stirred ud by the speedy feet of Perseus as he rushed to rescue the chained Andromeda. To others, it was a highway to heav en, a heavenly river or iights held by spirits. One ancient scientist W ? ?3.. .. 1 - , done, the compromise bill lands j back m both Houses for final ap proval ano mere may be more I rumpus. i The atomic energy act of 1946 i was passed only shortly ufter Con- I gross and the people had discover j ed they had a strange, new and j startling possession that could i work for the good of mankind in i medicine and power and for his destruction with the bomb. The United States, at the time, had a monopoly of atomic weapons. The law Was built around that monopoly: To guard the secrets of the bomb and atomic energy. Even friendly nations, under the law, could not be let in on those secrets. And the government was given a monopoly on developing atomic power. In the eight years since 1946 there have been great changes: Russia developed the bomb on its own. Some of the Allied developed atomic energy. There were scien tific and technical advances. So the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy made up of House and Senate Democrata and Republica finally produced the bill now be fore the Senate to make changes in the 1946 law. Here are some of the major ones: 1. Let the President share In formation, now secret, with Allied nations on nuclear weapons and their use In future defense or pos sible wars. 2. Let the President disclose peaceful atomic Information. This would Include the Russians. The President suggested international sharing of peaceful atomic Infor mation last year. 3. Loosen up on the present tight security regulations on atomic in formation so industry and public and private businesses and agen cies can do research and get into expected commercial development, 4. Designate the chairman of the five-man Atomic Energy Commis sionnow Lewis Strauss as its ' official spokesman." 5. Let the AEC Issue licenses and patents In the field of nuclear facilities and developments. The Democrats have been par ticularly banging away at Nos. 3, 4 and 5. They've expressed suspi cion that a few big private con cerns could get a monopoly hold in a field which has cost the govern ment billions of dollars to develop so far. PRUETT thought it was a zone of stars par tially obscured by the earth's sha dow; another, that stars here were so crowded together that they il luminated each other. Theophrastus taught that this band of light was a crack in the sky due to poor Joining of the two hemispheres at the time of crea tion. Aristotle considered it a mass of glowing gas. Pythagoras about 550 B.C. taught it was a vast as semblage of very distant stars. In A D. 1610 the Italian Galileo found that Pythagoras over 2000 years earlier was correct. Galileo's newly Invented "optick tube" showed the Milky Way was actu ally myriads of distant stars, each so far away as to be invisible in dividually. The galaxy completely encircles the sky. Our star system of bil lions of blazing suns seems to be arranged in the shape of a disk. Our sun and its planets are about I half way from the disk's center to I its edge. If wc look skyward in the j direction of the thin part of the ! disk, we do not encounter the very distant stars we do when looking 1 toward the fai-away edges. The ac- emulated effect of these more dis- lant stellar multitudes gives the j appearance of the white band of the Milky Way. POLICE BOMBAY. India i Reports reached here Friday that armed Indian police have sealed off Dadra. the Portuguese Indian vil lage Invaded by Nationalists Thursday. These reports said the police units kept the village on India's west coast separated from the neighboring Portuguese terri tories as the "liberation force" consolidated its control. HAL BOYLE ! i- : 1 NEW YORK If I were a bachelor yearning for the matri monial yoke, I do believe I'd head for Manhattan this weekend. Some 2,000 business secretaries are here fo their annual conven tion, and I don't know where else in America at the moment a man could go If he Is searching for the right girl to love, honor and dis obey the rest of his lite. ' For the business office todav Is the best of all training grounds for wifehood. Any girl who can run an office efficiently can operate a nome at half-throttle. As I see it. a good secretary has about all the advantages even the most cautious bachelor looks for In a wife, to wit: 1. She can sew on a button. 2. She has learned to keep her trap closed about confidential mat ters. 3. She knows when to get a man a cup of coffee, and when he pre fers aspirin. 4. If she isn't a beauty, she at least knows how to put her best personality forward. She ls neat, orderly and well-dressed. 6. She knows how to arrange flowers. 6. She has learned to take dicta tion from a boss, and therefore a husband can at least hope she will pay some attention to what he says If only through force of habit. . 1. She has the ability to budget money and get the most out of a small Income. ft. She can fill out your income tax, and write diplomatic letters of relusal to all the relatives who try to borrow money from you, 9. Any girl who can change a typewriter ribbon successfully probably can learn In a few months to fix your television set. loo. The repair bills she saves will in time pay for the cost of the wedding and her subsequent up keep. Every year the American girl secretary is getting brainier, bet ter looking and more of a matri monial bargain. Jerry Wald, space consultant for the Art Metal Construction Co., office equipment manufacturers, is my authority here. His Job ls to measure offices for secretaries (and secretaries for officesl, and after, a national survey of the field he came up with this observa tion: "The average secretary today can accomplish more work In two hours than one in the Gibson girl generation could in an entire day. Physically, she is smaller in size, and In the office occupies one third the amount of space given her sister of 20 years ago." A thrifty bachelor can see the obvious advantages here: If he married one of -the new pony model secretaries she will eat less food and fit in a smaller apart ment than say a buxom lady welghtlifter or the center on an all-girl basketball team. And, of course, if he wants to keep his bride on the Job while he himself stays home and pursues his hobbies, he won't overlook the fact tnat secretaries have pretty good take-home pay. although of course they don't get what they deserve. "Executive secretaries have an average salary ranging from WO a week in Alabama," says Wald, "to f82 In Tulsa. They average 75 in Los Angeles and $72 in New York." All of which boils down to the following sensible tip to any sensi ble bachelor: "Don't let your boss marrv his recretary. She's too good for'hlm. Beat him to the punch. Marry her yourself." As a matter of fact. If the boss has a particularly efficient Girl Friday and hales the thought of losing her, you can even use a little polite blackmail on him by faying: "Look, boss, either you give me a raise In pay or I'll marry your secretary." Either way you win. It Is possible to save up U Jt on Fire Insurance, U you buy from Hans Norland, s:l Pine St. Attend BIBLE BAPTIST 9:30 A.M. Enroll in a Growing. Sunday School 11 A.M. '"GOD'S BUILDING CONTRACT" The Doctor Says By EDWIN r. JORDAN, . Two correspondents are appar ently quite concerned About a slight peculiarity which almost cer tainly will causa no harm. Q Pleas writ about yawn ing. I yawn all day lone but am not hungry or sleepy. A.V. . What makes my n yawn so much? He gat plenty of aleep. He is 34 year old. Mrs. X. A An answer to these ques tions must ol necessity be rather vague since yawning like alfhlng and hlccuplng are merely chanres In the breathing movements, th exact significance ot which li not clear in moat lmtancts. Of course, most ' people yawn when they are lacking In sleep or are bored, but the possibility of a mere habit muat b consider! In those who yawn excsslvly with out any apparent causa. Q I hav read that a person can never hav more than one attack of shingles. Is this true? Mrs, A. A Apparently one attack of shingles or herpes zoster usually confers permanent resistance but, according to the books, a second attack is possible though unusual. Q Please tell me if the latest method of treating varicose veins by painting the toes with a red fluid is good. I cannot see how this could help the veins. M.M. A Neither can I. It sounds like the method of a quack. Q I have what is called a calcium spur growing on my he. Two or three doctors have told me that an operation would not be a success, and I do not know what to do. C. A. M. A These calcium deposits or calcaneal spurs on the heel, have been operated on but, as your doc tors say, the results nave often been disappointing or worse. When they produce pain or sore ness these spurs are certainly a nuisance. It Is possible that a specially constructed shoe would be of some help. Q For several years on of my teeth has been in a weakened condition, and for the past year or more it has been throbbing at times. Should this be considered a matter of serious concern from the standpoint of cancer? D. H. A It is unlikely to result in cancer but would certainly seem to call for expert dental attention. Q I hav had a debate with a friend In regard to a blood clot which I said was an embolism and phlebitis which I say Is Inflamma tion of the vein. My friend insists that phlebitis ls a blood clot. Can you clarify? i. M. A An embolus is a blood clot or other plug carried by th blood stream from a distant blood ves sel and forced into a smaller one, thus causing obstruction of the circulation at that point. Phlebitis is the inflammation of a vein often accompanied by the formation of a blood clot at the point where th vein ls Inflamed. The nam for a blood clot itself ls thrombus. Telling the Editor POVERTY A few weeks ago I witnessed a scene here In. our city that I would never believed had I not seen it myself. I saw an aged man eating food out of a garbage can In an alley behind one of our cof fee shops. What a pity, ,that in this land of plenty of ours that such things happen. Oh, I know some will say God give them two hands to work with so let them work. To this I will say if God also gkve them the right to live to be old is this a crime? All one has to do here lately is to turn on our radio and hear plea again and again for food parcels for Korea and India and Greece. They are starving and cold, well God give them two hands also to work with, would be nice for them to work again, too. Charity should begin at home. Here we are sending thousands ot dollars worth of food and cloth. Ing to foreign nations, to say noth ing of lending billions of dollars yet right her in our country conditions are as bad or worse, and' what is done about it? Sure some organization may now and then donate some articles of cloth ing to some poor wretched soul and they feel they have dons some thing great. Just wonder if these persons at tending a IS a plate banquet ever thinks how it would be if they had to salvage what few bites of food they could find from a gar bage can: you can bet they never think about who might b hungry and thru no fault of their own. 1 only wish I were financially able I would start a soup kitchen it nothing else and would see that these poor folks would at least have one hot meal a day. Sup pose a few will say all I would feed would be a bunch of chis elers, well so what? They are hu man beings and get just as hun gry and Just as cold as anv Korean or person in Greece or India. I do hope you folks run ning these cafes will put th food that can b eaten by these unfor tunate folks in a clean can so at least they won't have to eat out of garbage intended for hogs. E.C.E.

McCarthy's declaration came on the heels of a new Defense De partment refusal to clear Thomas W, LaVenla, a McCarthy appointee on the Senate Investigations sub committee staff, for access to clas sified documents, or to explain its reasons for withholding clearance.

British Beer Drinking Lowers LONDON Ml In Britain beer drinking is a national pastime like cricket and betting on soccer pools but the number of drinkers is on the decline. The British treasury's "Bulletin for Industry," says the consump tion of beer dropped 8 per cent while the eating of food went up sharply. With the menfolk show ing up less at the neighborhood saloon the womenfolk were appear ing more frequently at the grocery store. Food consumption rose by I. 5 per cent. Whisky sales are down to half what they were before World War II. Wine is two-thirds what it was in 1939. But the traffic in gin is about double. Tnere are all sorts of explana tions for the drop in beer.
