When our hopes for an early opening of the duck sea son were blasted It took the life out of us. I guess we'll give up the fight for an early opening, we just can't seem to ever get around to it. At least we'll be big hearted enough to hope the boys over in Easy Valley enjoy the late season shooting their votes have provided for. ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD One of the confusing elements of history for a great many present day writers is the Klamnth Indian. With Uie great Klamath Indian Hks ervation being located today in Klamath County (In Oregon) it is only natural that a great many peo pie who read about the early day Indian life, are led to assume that all references to the Klamath In- dlans deal with the Kianiath In dlans In Oregon. However the dan ger lies in the fact that the early record may or may not be about the Oregon tribe, but about Indians upon the Klamath River. Continual ly do we find writers making this common mistake Just because some early day observer lumped the tribes In one general group as Klamath Indians, he may or may not have inserted the word "River" In his account, A great many early day accounts of the Klamath In dians were made by people who never came In contact with the Ore gon Tribe of Klamaths. It was a common thing to call all Indians who lived upon the River, "Klamath Indians" wrhether they be Yurok. Hupa, Karok, Chi marlko or Shasta. At times it is possible that even the coastal VVIyot and Whilkut were included. This common error sometimes leads one to read of strange things and cus toms that had been observed nmnncr the Klamath Indians (meaning tho Klamath Tribe I. Of course, this nil dales back to Peter Skene Ogdcn who lcll his mark upon the region by calling Upper Klamath Basin, which he ex plored in iszo, tho "Chimin It Coiin try." The true derivation of the Klamath name has never been set tied, there has been a considerable amount of speculation that the word may come from a corruption of tho Indian word "Maklaks." However, this is a long way from "Clnmlnltt" as used by Ogdcn. One Interesting factor In this speculation is the fact that Ogdcn wrote about the "Clam lnitt Country" In a letter, dated Burnt River, July 1, 1826 and thai was five months before ho visited the country. Ogdcn reached the Klamath River Watershed on No vember 27, 1826. Both McKny and McDonald who were in the Oregon party had been in the Klamath Ba sin previously so the term was well established before Ogdcn entered the area. Later explorers changed the spelling from tho form used by Ogden but there is no mistaking the sound. Douglas wrote of looking Into the country called "Clamltc." Other writers used elemmat. Clam ath, Klamet, Clemet, Tlnmath nnd ao on. Fremont used the form Klamat and eventually everyone seemed to settle upon tho form Klamath. SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, lPI-Anolher nudge Is being given to business. This time it s psychological. The President, In his mid-year report on the state of the economy, sels out to allay nnv remaining' Jenrs that the slump hasn't yet run Its course, and to build up confidence of businessmen nnd con sumers that the months ahead will ue orignier. Such confidence according to the theory ol the psychological nudge should lend consumers to go ahead with plans to buv things they want, once they net over worrying lest their Incomes might lall. It should lend industrial and trade managements to go ahead with plans to expand, to place orders lor future delivery. Business renlize that there are political Implications In many eco nomic discussions these days. They see the political hay that can be made out of baying "business is bad," and the political advantage to saying "business Is sound." But businessmen must plan ahead and to do that thev must discuss present conditions and fu ture probabilities. And they'll give the president's mid-year economic report close scrutiny. The statistics nt mid-year, many businessmen note, add up pretty mUCh to & BlrtUr Ctf ulnhlHIi. 1.. aome time now there has been imiD cnango in many of the key factors in tho economy they haven't fallen very much: neither have they gained very much.

Applegatc used to like to believe and was the strong proponent of the speculation that (he name was a derivation from Ihe French words "clair metis," meaning light mists which frequent ly cover the Upper Klamath Lake but the trouble with this exolana. tlon is that the form is reversed from the French style which would be "metis clair," and In this form, the words In all probability would mean a light colored halfbreed. The Klamath name is old and It ap pears mat some such word might have been used by the Indians in refcrenco to the lake, the white man applied It to the Indian. Gatschet, who has made the most complete study of the Klamath lan guage, has this to say about the Klamalh people: "For the Klamath people of Southwestern Oregon ihcie exists no tribal name com prehending the two principal bodies iKIamath and Modoc), except Mnk laks, meaning Indian. This term when pronounced (by the native In dian) with a lingual "k" has a re llectlve meaning, and points to in dividuals speaking their language, mooocs as well as Klamath Lake Indians; when pronounced with our common "k" it means "Indian" of any tribe whatsoever, and "man." "person," of any nationality ... I have refrained from using it in the title and body of my work to desle. nale these Oregon Indians because it would be invariably mispro nounced as "ma'klnks" by white people, and the peculiar sound of tne k would be mispronounced aiso.

The term purdah in Moslem countries means a curtain, screen or cloak that hides women from public observation. ' Isn't it about time ' that we adopted tills fine old common sense Mohammedan tradition un der which no woman appears on the street except wearing a kind of bedsheet that covers her com pletely except for two holes for hcV eyes? Personally, I believe it would be a fine thing; at least for a year oi two. It would give both men and women a rest from the ner vous wear and tear of changing feminine' styles. It's getting lately so that we have more crises In the world of fashion than we do in international diplomacy. , The length of women's dresses has changed so often a eirl doesn't know whether to put on a skirt or a window blind. And women's hair-dos have achieved ti final imbecility in "the idiot look "-which makes a gal appear as if her hair had been gnawed off by a nearsighted rodent. This year Christian Dior has raised a new clamor with his de cision that big girls arc only little boys at heart, alter all, and there fore should have a boyish silhou ette. A great yawp went up that this would mean a de-emphasis of the hnsom line, as if this spelled tra gedy. But is there anything in America actually more needed to- dnv than a de-emphasis ol the f.-minine bosom? Since the scaler girls bloomed cut a decade or so ago, there has grown up a cult of the bosom in this country that Is as ridiculous as It is unhealthy. The bosom is getting to be regarded as a typical American product-like baseball, the hog dog, and the Ice cream JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON M The Com munist party will not be outlawed in spite of the Senate's hasty vote yesterday to "do Just that, unless the House also approves. The House may not in the rush to go home. The Eisenhower administration, through Alty. Ocn. Brownell, has opposed outlawing the pnrty. Its argument: Outlawing the party right now would hinder rather than help In handling Communists. The administration Is using two main weapons against the party now: (1) Ihc Smith Act, passed In 1940, and (2) the McCarran In ternal Security Act, passed In 1950. The Smith Act is by far the more useful wenpon so far. Under it the government can prosecute com munists in bunches or singly: A. The act, in one section, says It's a crime to conspire to teach or advocate overthrow of the gov ernment by force. The government has convicted 12 Communist lead ers In groups under this section, upheld by the Supreme Court. B. Another section says It's a crime to be a member of an organ ization which seeks overthrow ol the government by force. The gcveinment hasn't tried any Com munists under this section yet. It will soon. If the Supreme Court upholds this section of the act, the government can proceed to try parly members singly. Tho Smith Act does not make membership in the Communist party a crime.

So much interest has been focused on the feminine bosom that soon the Russians will claim they in vented It. A man never was too sure of what he was getting when he mar ried, but today he Is double un certain. Is the girl of his dreams really the girl of his dreams-or the dreams of half a dozen fashion designers? Is she real, or is she a padded dummy held together by hidden wires and bone stays, and so covered with cosmetic goo her leal face remains her own secret? What do American women really look like anymore? Has anybody actually seen one in years? They change so much that when a hus band comes home from work he doesn't know whether to greet the woman who opens the door with a "Hello, dear" or "Who are you!" He can't kiss her. for how can he be sure at a glance it's his wife? Wouldnt it be belter all around if American woman took a unani mous vacation from all this fa shion nonsense and went Into pur dah? Peeking out at life through two holes in a bis? bedsheet, any woman could feel mysterious and glamorous. She no longer would have- to worry about girdles, lip stick, chawed-olf halrdoes, thick ankles, bosom lines, or pipestem legs. All that would be visible would be her eyes. But the eyes are the mirrors of the soul: and it is high time American women learned again that their eyes can be more eloquent nnd truly feminine than the stralljackets of a rails de signer. Certainly any girl would be more attractive in a walking bedsheet even if it made her look like a members of the ladies auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan- than she docs In the get-ups she wears in the name of fashion today. throw, of the government, not for being Communists. Now for the McCarran Act. An act which outlawed the Commu nist party would probably make hash of this act on which the gov ernment has spent four years in work against Communists. The McCarran Act doesn't say the Communist party Is Illegal, ei ther. It says that any organization found to be a tool of a foreign gov ernment must register: that is, its officers and members must regis ter and the party must explain where it gets Its money. The act set up the Subversive Activities Control Board to hold hearings and order registration If It found an organization in this case the Communist party to be a Mos cow tool. The SACB held hearings for over a year, found the parly to be a Russian tool, and then the party appealed to the courts. A final decision from the Supreme Court may come down next spring. If the Supreme Court upholds Ihe SACB, the board would order parly members to register. Would they? Party leaders have indicat ed already they would not. Probably, on the day the high court ruled against them, the Com mumsls would dissolve their party nnd bob up shortly tinder another name. Whnt then? The government would have to go through the whole laborious Job all over again to prove this new organization was a Moscow tool. Once more when the hiRh court ruled, the par ty could change its name again. Under the McCarran act it is clearly stated that anynoe forced to register does not incriminate himself by the act of registration. But an act outlawing the Commu nist party would mean that anyone registering as a Communist would VFW !Hli AXMJAL HAIVCE MUSIC BY BALDY'S BAND MERRILL COMMUNITY HALL SATUltHAY, AUGUST 11 DANCING 10 'TIL 2 ADMISSION: $1.00 PER PERSON (lax inc.) By Jimmy Hatlo Romantic Air Antics Unsuccessful LONDON If The aerial ex ploits along the Thames of a dare devil Texan apparently - haven't smoothed his troubled path toward romance. Gene Thompson, the 6 foot 3 crop-duster from Lubbock who flew a plane under two London bridges Wednesday in a bid for the hand of hometowner Helen Brown, radioed a tale of unre quited love from his homeward bound ocean liner. Helen "Is the Comstock Lode, Just like finding a bird nest on tho ground," the 30-year-old aerial cowboy exulted. But Helen, he told the Express in a telephone talk last night, is also "mad as hell . . . Isn't even speaking to me" because he took her dare and flew a light plane between the towers of London's Tower Bridge and then underneath the span of the London Bridge. The couple met touring Europe with a party of Texans. A friend said Helen agreed to marry Gene if he would emulate daredevil Britons who acrobat aerially e.round the bridges of the'Thames. The party sailed for home before unromantic British police caught up with the American bridge buzzer. Now Gene says aerial enter prise wasn't Helen's only require ment for matrimony. His radio message to the Express last night filled out the picture: "Promised to marry me if I'd quit cussing, shave every day and fly under bridges. "She's very beautiful and I'm so in love. "If damn razor didn't hurt so bad I could fulfill requirements." "Really no sweat under bridges. "Was sorta bumpy but no sweat at all fdv crop duster. "If boats wuda backed, Ida dun more bridges. "Man this Helen Brown Is the Comstock Lode, Just like finding a bird nest on the ground. "Now going home. Had do some thing. Time grows short. Pleeze no offense Intended. T'was very foolish deed. But I love Helen Brown.". The Express said It was sending Thompson a razor of the finest Sheffield steel. Gene said by tele phone he hoped to bring Helen around before the ship gets to Que bec, but "maybe I'll fly under the Eiffel Tower If that'll turn the trick."

Therefore, outlawing the Com munist party would cancel out that portion of the McCarran, act and nil the work the government has done to force party members to register. But since the party would also probably change its nam if it was outlawed, the result might be the same in both cases: starting from scratch to crack down on the Communists, going through a pro cess that would take more years.

They don't go there because they expect to draw business from Reao, but because they like to cultivsli community friendliness. They create a good feeling by their visits, and normally their recep tion by the visited city creates i good feeling in Klamath Falls to ward that town. Everywhere except in Yreka. Although It was known that the Klambassadors would visit Yreka, there wasn't one individual to meet-br greet them. The chamber of commerce sent no welcoming party or' representative. The 20 visitors had dinner by themselves with only a couple of persons from our town Joining them. The chamber of commerce each year spends considerable sums of money, most of which is theo retically used to promote goodwill, business and industry for Yreka. The communities to the south of us all gave the Klambassadors a warm and cordial greeting. Yreka didn't even give them common cour tesy. We suggest that the Yreka cham ber of commerce owes Klamath Falls a return visit to prove that Yreka isn't as shallow and as afraid of losing business as Wednes day's cold reception to Klamath Falls has indicated.
