BILLBOARD
By BILL JENKINS '
Came down to the office early
this morning to get a little work
done, but about all that's come out
of It is the realization that after
all I'm nothing but the peon type.
I guess what started the whole
train of thought off was opening
last night's mall. Quite a few per
eonal letters from various offices
around the country. And almost all
of 'em written on either memo
type paper that said at the top
"from the deslt of Myron D. Twld
dlethorpe" or something like that,
or on standard letterhead with the
writer's name and title neatly let
tered over on the left side.
Me, I'm still writing letters on
lust Dlain old company stationery,
If 1 happen to have any around the
desk. If I don't I use copy paper
or the back of other people's let
ters. Whenever I manage to write
one without typographical errors
the first time I sneak down under
the signature line and tvDe BJ:s,
hoping that people will think I
have a secretary. Actually the "s"
stands for self, but then I might
fool someone.
Anyway, that got me to thinking
on my mode of life and thus
brought about the peon feeling. I
seem to miss gracious living and
modern efficiency by a wide mile.
My idea of gracious living is to
put on my shoes when company
comes and serve the beer out of
glasses Instead of . cans. And the
friends have to bo regular VIP's be
fore I'll do that.
I can't even seem to run the
house with any sort of order. The
only thing I'm really good at Is
standing on the sun deck and
thinking about all the work I'm
going to do tomorrow. Or the next
day.
I'm even so low down on the
social scale that I still wash my
own car and shine my own shoes.
In fact, shining shoes Is one of
ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
In our agricultural Industry the
birth of "technology" long pro
ceeded the application of the
word though we can fairly well
put our finger upon the date
1831. For the year 1831 was a
revolutionary turning point in the
history of American agriculture
and came about with the Invention
of the Reaper by O. H. McCor
mlck. It was a small beginning
and while Its growth was slow It
was the key that opened the door
to a new life for the American
farmer.
Early American agriculture as
well as manufacture depended
upon hand methods of production
for many generations of farm
workers, the plough had been the
only mechanical Invention to light
en the burden of labor of a life
in which long hours were spent
In what we would call today,
"drudgery." Living standards, as
measured by the comforts of the
piesent generation, were low as
well as the output per worker. We
were an agarian nation for agri
culture was the dominant factor of
economy and engaged 80 per cent
of the efforts of the population
even as late as 1850 in the dawn of
the new revolution. How complete
that revolution has been accom
plished Is well Illustrated by the
census of 1950 when it was dis
closed that the forces of mechan
ization of agriculture had reduced
the farm labor force to about 15
per cent of the total population.
The changing status of the farm
er In our national economy has
been so gradual that few people
realize the significant factors In
volved and especially Is this true
upon the political scene. Anyone
can readily see that 15 per cent
of the population, (even this figure
is shrinking), cannot continue for
many years to dominate the field
of politics even though govern
ment is slow to change and al
ways lives In the past.
For generations we have faced
a conflict between the rural and
the urban mind but now we are
entering a period that bids fair
to wipe out the rural mind com
pletely. The time is fast develop
ing, when, If we aro to preserve
any remnant of this life of our
fathers we will have to seek the
aid of our historical museums to
do so.
I have always been struck by a
motto that was placed upon Hil-
gard Hall, one of the agricultural
buildings on the Berkeley campus
of the .University of California.
The motto as I remember It, reads
"To Rescue for Human Society the
Native Values of Rural Life
Many a person has read this
motto In the thirty or so years that
the building has been upon the
campus and I am willing to bet
that professor and student alike
all have said to themselves. "What
a queer thuig to place upon a
building." As one visitor remarked
to me one day; "What Is that
rescue home up there on the cam
pus?" I was left speechless.
When the motto was written, the
author. Dr. Thomas Forsyth Hunt.
then dean of the college of agricul
ture, was probably the only man
who could appreciate the prothetic
statement. No doubt, there was
many a laugh about that Una and

Isn't a better place to think than

Around the place we also wash

Nope, I guess I'm not the type

Happened down Dorrls way the

Dorrls hill progressing slowly but
surely. There's always something
very baffling about highway work
as far as the layman is concerned.
You can't see where they are go
ing to end up. what with seeming
ly miles of rough construction go
ing off in every direction.
But anything that can be done
to ease the nasty wintertime situa
tion on that hill will be a relief.
There have been times when we've
seen a dozen trucks and 30 or 40
cars all piled up waiting for the
chap ahead to get a little traction
and make It on over the top.
Tile grasshoppers are fairly num
erous around the Lower Klamath
area but not anywhere near as

past. Good crop of pheasants to

number of dead ones you see alone:

a lot of game, Including a bobcat
and a coyote.
And lots of dust.
many a wise quip passed In the
faculty club over It. But there It
was emblazoned facing the city of
Berkeley for everyone to read. Dr.
Hunt once told me that he would
have liked to have had the motto
read "To Rescue for Human So
ciety the Moral Values of Human
Life." But the word "moral" might
be misconstrued and for that rea
son tile word "native" was substi
tuted.
We have come a long way and
fast in the development of our tech
nological civilization, so last that
few of us realize the changes that
have taken place to life and to our
outlook upon life. Perhaps it Is
time for us to take Dr. Hunt's ad
vice and rescue some of those na
tive values ot rural life that arc
so fast vanishing before eyes, so
oiino mat we cannot see. But Just
think back, a hundred years, an
Infinitesimal bit of time In the
measurement of life of the human
race, and we find farmers work
ing with the same crude tools that
were developed by their ancestors
hundreds of years before (the scy
the and the sickle), well known to
Pliny.
Then came the revolution and
the development of a new era in
agriculture and In rapid succession
with the reaper came the steel
plow, binder, harvester-thresher,
the tractor and all the other me
chanical marvels of today. The
tremendous saving In labor Is
well exemplified In the handling of
grain. Keeping oy nand. 100 years
alio, six men would cut the grain
with the hand hook or sickle and
lay It on the bands In sheaf-lots:
one man came behind and tied the
sheaves and set them up in shooks.
Thus a gang of seven worked to
gether and harvested about two
acres a day. This was then fol
lowed by arduous hours with a
f lull. What a contrast this actually
becomes when we see one man
riding a rubber tired mechanical
monster doing all this work as he
drives at a fast clip across the
fields of yellow grain.

JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON 11 President
Eisenhower's proposed 50-billlon-
dollor highway program for the
next 10 years, huge as it seems,
would be only part of the money
spent on roads in that time. The
total would be over 87 billion.
The 50 billion wouldn't all come
out of the U.S. Treasury. Only
about half of It would. The states
would have to put up the rest.
But the proposal Is only a
gleam In Eisenhower's eye.
It was a suggestion he tossed
to the governors at their recent
annual meeting In New York State
to get thinking started on this
country's road needs. He was
guessing at what such a program
would cost.
Sometime next year he may be
able to offer Congress a specific
program after the government's
Bureau of Public Roads finishes
an estimate, perhaps by February,
on what It would cost to build
needed new roads and improve
existing ones.
The government helps stales now
under what Is called a federal aid
system, begun In 1016. The money
given by the government must be
matched by the states, generally on
a 60-50 basis.
Any money used under this aid
system, federal and state, must
go only Into construction of new
roads and improvement of old
ones. Then the states must main
tain them. The federal government
has to give Its approval When any
ot Its money is used.
Any additional road building or
repairing that is, on roads out
side the aid system must come
out, of the pockets of the states,
counties, cities and towns.
Tilts year the government Is
giving the states 575 million dol
lars. For each of the next two
years It will give 875 millions.
The Bureau of Public Roads es
timates . the federal government.

eel, who once sold camembert on
the streets of Paris. Is now weary
of American cheesecake.
Not cheesecake, the food but
cheesecake, the art form. Bnc
says she positively no longer will
pose In the fhesty postures that
iirst won her attention when she
arrived here In 1946, billed as
"the most beautiful girl in
France."
Dcnlse thinks that kind of pub
licity almost busted up her ca
reer. She feels there are at least
1,000 girls In America who could
match her in the cheesecake realm
merely by drawing a deep breath.
"At first I do tills because they
tole me to, and I doan know bet
ter." she said. "Now I know bet
ter. "I have something else. I have
talent. I want to perfection my
career. I like to be the dramatic
actress and to do the comedy.
When you can make the people to
laugh, you can also make them to
cry."
Dcnlse has proved her point. Al
ter flopping in Hollywood initial
ly, she got a Job behind a sales
counter in Beverly Hills and start
ed working her way up in show
business all over again.
Today she gets up to $5,000 a
week in night clubs, co-starred re
cently In the film, "Vera Cruz,"
and now has a top spot In the Fri
day night DuMont TV network;
who, "Gamble on Love."
But if you want to be her bosom
buddy, don't praise her figure
even though she has trimmed off
25 pounds. Praise her historical
knowledge. She had to quit school
and go to work at 12. Now she is
brushing up on her education and
her English by taking morning
classes at Hunter College In Eur
opean and American :.tory.
"I want to be a bright woman,"
she told me earnestly over a
corned beef and cabbage luncheon
at the Plaza. "And I just love
history. Do you think sometime
they will teach me about a gyp?"
"A gyp? What gyp?"
"No. no. no. Not a gyp. Eee-gyp
where they have the peeramids
and the dead mummies."
Just to see if she reolly were
studying her history book. I asked
her what happened in the year

communities will spend altogether
around 6'2 billion dollars a. year.
Thats for construction, mainten
ance, administration and retire,
ment of debt.
Of that 6'i billion. $3,730,000,000
will be spent on construction alone
new roads, improving existing
ones by the federal government,
states, counties and local commu
nities. That would be, if costs
didn't go higher than they are now,
$37,300,000,000, over the next 10
years.
What Eisenhower suggests is
that 50 billion dollars be spent
over those same 10 years in addi
tion to the $37,300,000,000, or a
total of $87,300,000,00 in the next
decade for construction.
In this country there are about
3' million miles of roads and
streets. Of this total, 288,00 miles
are local city streets and 2,962.000
miles are rural roads. A rural road
Is anything outside the jurisdiction
of a city.
Of the total rural roads and city
streets 3'A million miles the
federal aid system includes only
672.000 miles in what are called
the primary and secondary sys
tems.
The primary roads 218,000
miles In rural areas, 16,000 miles
in city streets are supposed to
be roads of major Importance
That's a total of 234,000 miles of
primary roads.
The secondary roads are of less
er importance, like school bus
routes. They total 438,000 miles
The federal aid money is given
for building and improving pri
mary and secondary roads.
Of the 234,000 miles of primary
roads, the American Assn. of High
way Officials estimates 65 per cent
are in need of improvement. About
38.000 miles of those 234.000 miles
of primary roads are the Inter

Somebody at the table sneezed:
somebody else murmured, "God

"Do you know why they say,
'God bless you'?" asked Denlse.
"A few hundred year ago when

"I theenk I learn that in school

NEW YORK American con
sumers have these stakes in Pres
ident Eisenhower's decision In the
bitterly fought case of the tariff on
Swiss watches:
l.x Its effect on raising the tab
on watches in the middle price
range.
2. The need to preserve the
highly skilled watchmaking pro
fession in this country so that
technicicans would be on hand to
make precision Instruments need
ed in wartime.
3. The effect of this "key deci
sion on the United States' efforts
since World War II to tear down
restrictions on world trade and
thus build up American exports,
among other things.
Some argued that this country's
entire postwar world trade policy
was involved In the decision on
this ticklish question.
Because the hard-fought battle
over raising watch tariffs was re
garded as "crucial," the entire Im
porting and exporting fraternity
keenly awaited the President's
decision.
Holding that the postwar rise In
imports of Swiss watches and
watch movements into this coun
try was injuring the American
watch companies and threatening
to cut down the number of skilled
technicians deemed necessary for
national defense, the U.S. Tariff
Commission recommended that
President Elsenhower raise the
tariff on imported watches by
aoout 50 per cent.
The Reciprocal Trade Act gave
lhe President 60 days or until
July 27 to accept or reject the
suggestion!
The position of the American
watchmakers was two-pronged:
1. Swiss watch industry labor
rates were enough lower than
American wages to permit the
Swiss to Increase their imports to
this country five-fold since the mid-
1930s.
2. It takes yeors to train watch
makers, and unless the American
industry Is protected, this country
will lose these skills and be in a
sad plight come another war with
its demand for the precision In
struments they would know how
to make.
The Importers of Swiss watches
and of watch movements to be en
cased here had two replies:
1. A 50 per cent rise in tariffs
would likely lead to a $3.50 to $5
hike in the cost of watches in this
country. This doubtless would
mean a drop in the total sold to
Americans, to everyone's disad
vantage. Since a $27.50 watch has been
paying a $10 duty, the Swiss said
that a 50 per cent increase would
push the price of the watch up $5.
2. The Swiss argued that watches
and watch movements are their
chief export items to this country,
and with money from them the
count: y pays for the farm products
nna tne manufactured goods
bouuht hprp. Tf it cj11 it 1
watches, Switzerland argues, it
must buy less grain, textiles, cars,
tractors, metals and machinery
from the United States.
The deadline on the President's
decision comes at a time when
world trade conditions have im
proved to the point that hopes for
easing of trade restrictions are
being stressed. That makes the
case a symbol for the whoie pro
tection-tree trade battle.
Police Raid

CAIRO. Egypt t Police laid
siege today to Cairo headquarters

which wants the 76-year-old patri
arch replaced by a younger man.
The ministry sold the dissidents

day, disarmed police guarding
Yousab and forced the old man at
gunpoint to sign resignation.
Then, while part of the group
staged a sitdown strike in the build

Republican
Indo Policy
ANCHORAGE. Alaska W Adlal
Stevenson, breaking a five-day si
lence on the Indochina peace settle
ment signed In Geneva last week,
yesterday charged that right-wing
Republicans have "successfully
identified negotiation with appease
ment." In his first and only major
speech on an Alaska vacation, the
unsuccessful Democratic standard
bearer in the 1952 presidential
campaign said of the Indochina
settlement:
"This is the sorry sequel of all
the foolish, boastful Republican
talk about liberation of the en
slaved nations, about unleashing
Chiang-Kai-shek, seizing the initia
tive, a new look on foreign policy,
no more little wars as in Korea,
and, finally, that threatening talk
by the secretary of state and the
vice president about massive atom
ic retaliation which scared our
Allies half to death, if not our
enemies.
"All these bold words and ring
ing slogans of the past two years
sound a little hollow now. The
mew look' collapsed at the first
test. The administration was not
prepared to fight, nor could it neg
otiate, because the right-wing-Republicans
have successfully iden
tified negotiation with appease
ment. "Unable to fight, unable to nego
tiate, unable even to speak with
a coherent tongue, U.S. foreign
policy defaulted and France sal
vaged what she could out of the
endless, weary war in Indochina."
Not only did the Communists add
valuable and strategio area to
their domain, Stevenson said, but
they threw the Western Allies
"into confusion and dissension,
Russia's greatest goal and dearest
dream."
The former governor of Illinois
said the Indochina settlement,
which calls for the partition of
Viet Nam into Communist and pro
Western halves, ended the shooting
but Communist China "has staked
out another menacing salient into
free Asia and enveloped 13 million
people."
"In Indochina." Stevenson said,
"the West suffered Its worst dis
aster since the loss of China."
The blame, "the original sin,"
for the "misfortune" in Indochina
rests with France, Stevenson said.
Noting that England and Hol
land, at the conclusion of World
War II, granted Independence to
many of their Asian possessions
and by so doing prevented Nation
alist uprising which the Commu
nists would exploit, Stevenson said.
"Had France done likewise and
granted genuine independence in
orderly, sincere stages to Viet Nam
there very likely would have been
no war In Indochina.'
But he said the "blame for the
collapse of our policy in Asia re
mains our responsibility."
"And, he warned, "we shall fail
again and again unless we profit
from this experience."
Navy Negro
Consultant
Resigns
SAO HARBOR, N.Y. Wl Lester
Granger has resigned as a special
consultant to the Navy on racial
problems because, he says, he felt
Navy leaders lacked "a sufficient
sense of urgency" regarding1 race
issues.
Granger said last night his resig
nation, submitted June 19, was
"good-natured" and both he and
the National Urban League, of
which he is executive director,
would remain "ready to assist" the
Navy.
Granger, a Negro, said the Navy
has taken some important steps in
removing racial segregation. But
in recent months, he said, "these
steps were not at a sufficient pace
or extent to justify the services cf
a special consultant."
Since he took the consultant post
last September. Granger said at
his summer home, he had put in
only three days' work and had not
been consulted at all since last
winter. "
He said he resigned because he
did not want to feel "in any way
held responsible for practices and
policies when I was nbt being con
sulted." Granger said Negroes do have
opportunities m the Navys' various
branches but three tourins ol ail
Negroes in the Navy are In the
steward's branch, which Is "100
per cent Negro except for a few
Filipinos."
He said this "affected the morale
of Negroes in the Navy seriously
and created an impression of Neg
roes as officer retainers, rather
than as fighting men. , . "

Mexican Peso
Price Rises
MEXICO CITY m Better get
your mexican vacation in soon.
Prices are catching up with the
new exchange rate.
The peso cost of a trip is higher
than it was last year. But it costs
the visitor from the United States
less. ,
The reason is the devaluation of
the peso three months ago. From
a value of 11.5 cents United States,
it dropped to 8 cents. This meano
the tourist gets 12'2 pesos for his
dollar now, compared to the 8.65
he got last year.
This change of 44.5 per cent Is not
all clear gain to the tourist,
though. Prices have gone up. prob
ably about 30 per cent. But this
leaves costs in dollars still 15 per
cent less than a year ago.
The price Increase has been not
only along the tourist circuit, It
is also affecting the average work
ing Mexican. As a result, a round
of wage Increases of about 25 per
cent has been given or is sought.
By the time these higher wages
affect the general price level, the
rates will go up again. After that
happens, the tourist won't find his
dollar buying any more than it
did last year.
