We are too heavy of heart to write more today.
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.

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

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.

Captain O. C. 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

when pronounced (by the native In

common "k" it means "Indian" of
any tribe whatsoever, and "man."

NEW YORK Wl Speaking of
fashions, why don't American
women go into purdah?
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. Dciencianis aic

Korea, but noi niuvum uimn

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

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

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

portion of the McCarran, act and
nil the work the government has
done to force party members to

But since the party would also

was outlawed, the result might be
the same in both cases: starting

They don't go there because they
