r in rue Day's lews 11 By FRANK JENKINS " Just for a change, let's talk bout war today. Modern war, and the strangeness of It when it is con trasted with' ancient war. (These thoughts are suggested by the ruckus we're now embroiled in with the South Koreans, whom we saved from communism in a war that cost us much blood and treas ure. Since the war was fought on their soil, the South Koreans think ve ought to make good all the damage that was eone in the lighting.) Well, maybe we should. ' Let's take a look at our war with Japan. Japan started it, with a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. We fought the Japanese all over the Pacific, and eventually whipped them completely. Now we're engaged in the pro cess of rehabilitating Japan. Since the war in which we defeated her eventually came to Include nearly all of Asia, which was Japan's trade territory, we're trying to keep alive In Asia some sort of sit uation in which Japan can go on trading with enough of Asia to keep her alive. To do that, we may even have to go to war again, , Considering all this,. I suppose one can hardly blame the South Koreans for feeling that since we fought the Korean war a R a fait THEIR enemies, on THEIR soil, to keep THEM from being ground under the iron heel of communism we ought to turn in and pay them for all the damage that was done to their country by the fighting on their soil to save them from com munist slavery. It must be remembered that we fought the 'Japanese on a lot of 8outh Pacific islands which the Japs had grabbed. On these is lands there were palm trees. Palm trees produce coconuts. Coconuts are an economic resource, in tne course of fighting, we de stroyed lot of palm trees. We PAID for them at so much per tree. .. So why shouldn't we pay for T hat we destroyed in the Korean fighting? take a look at Germany. We whipped the Germans. In doing so, we saved Western Europe from Hitler's despotism. Having saved Western Europe from Hitler's despotism, we turned in and rebuilt Western Europe aft er It had been destroyed in the fighting in which we joined to save Western Europe's liberty. We went ahead and helped to rebuild Germany while we were at . it. ? Can you blame the South-Koreans for feeling that after we went ahead and spent our blood and our ! treasure to save them from their enemies, the communists, we should now restore all the damage we did to their country in the course of the fightinc and thus leave them economically better off than they were before the fighting began? Everything considered, -1 think they have a perfectly good argu ment for wanting us to do what they want us to do. Their argu ment is that we've done it for everybody else and so we ought to ' do it for them. If we don't, it will amount to discrimination against ; them. One other thought. We came out of the war with a staggering war debt. But, since the Germans were defeated, they came out without : rny war debt. Because the Jap- anese were defeated they came out without any war debt. Because we : have poured out the countless bil- ' lions in foreign aid, our friends in ; Western Europe have been saved ; lrom ADDING heavily to their war debt as they would have had to ; if we had not come to their assist ance. And After doing all this We're generally haled all over the world. Back In World War I, we Ameri cans were sold the idea that our mission was to make the world safe for democracy. We've been going on that theory ever since. I sometimes wonder if the time won't come when we'll have to be gin thinking about MAKING AMERICA SAFE FOR DEMOC RACY. Upland Bird Season Opens PORTLAND W Oregon's pheas t ant and quail seasons open Satur day. Reports have been received of excellent prospects in many areas. Hunters in Western Oregon may take a dally bag of two cock pheasants and 10 valley, bobwhite or mountain quail or Hungarian Cartridge in the aggregate. . Central Oregon districts report quail populations . at an all-time high. Pheasant populations are re ported excellent in both southeast - ern and northeastern Oregon. The foothills of Baker and Wallowa c juntles are said to be well stocked with Hungarian partridge. In the Willamette Valley, pheas ants came through the summer in much better numbers than expect ed in view of unfavorable weather. 8outhwest Oregon quail prospects are good. In Klamath and part ot Malheur counties the pheasant season opens one week later, from noon Octo ber 30 to November 14. In northern Malheur County shooting is limited to one week, November 15 to 21. Bag limits in Klamath and southern Malheur counties are tour cocks a day with 13 in possession. The hunting of "Hungarian Part ridge, Valley, Bobwhite and Moun tain Quail will run concurrent with the pheasant season.

From left: Mrs. Cyril (Eva) Cook, candidate for county treasurer, Senator Bennett and Mrs. Olive Corneft, Republican National CommiHeewoman from Oregon, The ten ator spoke before Rotary Club luncheon at the Willard Hotel Friday noon and was banquet speaker at the Klamath Basin Potato Festival at Merrill Friday evening. Utah Senator Wallace F. Bennett Urges Reelection Of Guy Cordon To Senate "Senator Guv Cordon is in a unique position now to serve the people of Oregon," declared u.&. Senator Wallace Foster Bennett, Republican from Utah, who is in Oregon this week to campaign for the reelection of Senator Cordon. His only campaign speeches out side of his own state are the ones he made at Baker, La Grande, Ontario and Nyssa prior to coming to Klamath Falls Thursday after noon. Senator Cordon has just be come the ranking Republican on the Interior Committee and will be its chairman again if the Republi cans control Congress,' the Utah senator continued. "More than half of the state of Oregon and approx imately 70 per cent of Klamath County is owned or controlled by the federal government. Hence it is vital to Oregon that Senator Cordon be returned to the United States Senate, since the Interior Committee handles most of the problems affecting public lands. "My own state of Utah is a pub lic lands state, too. Seventy-four per cent of Utah is owned by tne federal government and I have confidence in the way Senator cor- don will handle our .problems," Senator Bennett asserted, "Neuberger has said publicly that his election to the Senate will be mandate to thai body to revise the Hill Oil-for-Educatlon Bill. In the first place, the Senate operates on the seniority system and no new senator, particularly when he is a member of the minority par ty, can present the Senate with a mandate for anything. "That seniority system means that any vacancies on important committees are filled first with men with the greatest seniority. Miracle' is too mild a word to describe a new senator's chances for getting on a committee such, as the Appropriations Committee of which Senator Cordon is cur rently chairman of the Reclama tion subcommittee. New senators are assigned to such committees as the District of -Columbia, Post Office, Civil Service or Rules com mittee. None of these committees handles any problems directly af fecting the senator's home state.

U f ' - '" u u mm ii i mi , ii K "Wayne Morse has announced that when the Senate meets again. he will become a Democrat and vote officially with the Democrats. He has no seniority. He lost it when he became 'Independent.' The election of Neuberger would give Oregon two senators without seniority or influence on matters relating directly to Oregon." Going back to the Hill amend ment. Senator Bennett continued: 'The Hill amendment has long since been recognized as a sad hoax, conceived in politics and dedicated to the proposition that the teachers of America ' would sell their influence with the par ents of their students for promises. A realistic . appraisal of the probable money available, had the Hill amendment been adopted, is 40 cents per student per year, even though its proponents talked in billions. Even Senator Hill. himself, deserted the oil-for-educa- tlon idea because he amended his proposal to say that so long as we had a defense problem, the funds should first be used for na tional defense. This was obviously a bid for the veterans' vote but in spite of its form, the Hill amend ment has been rejected bv an overwhelming majority of the Sen ate three times.

The accidental shooting occurred just a few minutes before dark when a Bly teacher, Marian Ar lene Brainier, mistook Russell M. Dillavou, 21, also of Bly, for a deer. ' The shot was fired about 8:30 p.m. when Dillavou, his wife Kay, and the teacher were hunting in I he vicinity of the old Lee Adkins place, about five miles north of uiy. Dillavou received a flesh wound in the right leg. He was taken to the Lakevlew Hospital where his condition is not considered seri ous. ' The Brallier woman told officers she was certain she was firing at a deer when Dillavou was hit. The shot was fired from a distance of 143 feet, officers stated.

Allies invite PARIS UP With the threat of complete failure of French-German talks on the Saar overshad owing their decision, the 14 mem bers of tiie North Atlantic Treaty Organization Friday invited West Germany to Join their alliance. French Premier Pierre Mendes- France Joined In the invitation. Earlier he told reporters he will not sign any agreements reached here this week until he gets a satisfactory settlement of the Saar dispute. As the NATO council voted, French and West German nego tiations were reported still dead locked. West German Chancellor Kon rnd Adenauer, an Invited guest at the council session, sat in beam ing silence as one after another of the foreign ministers welcomed him and approved West Ger many's admission as the alliance's 15th full member. As all NATO council actions must be, the deci sion was unanimous. British Foreign Secretary S I r Anthony Eden commended U, S. Secretary of State Dulles for his er signed it and the Supreme Court has ruled on the matter with fin ality. The matter is dead and no freshman senator can raise the ghost again." ... senator Bennett spoke Thursday evening at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at Home and Martin before a crowd of some 125 persons, representing church members and civlo leaders. He was introduced by Ron Phair. A Rotarian, Senator Bennett was guest Friday noon at the Klamath Falls Rotary Club luncheon at the Willard Hotel. He spoke on nation al problems growing out of the transition of war to peace. "Peace is good health for a na tion," the senator stated. "War is a terrible disease." Using that analogy, he said that when people are suddenly faced with a crisis in health, no one stops to count the cost the ul timate aim is to get well. After tne crisis has passed, however, there is the problem of paying the bills. At the time of crisis, the patient puts himself under the full control, of the physician when convalescence comes it is neces sary for the patient to start mak ing his own decisions again. "Using that analogy, part of our trouble today is that now we have changed physicians and the new physician is trying to get us on our feet and well again. But tne old physician is still around saying, 'If you had Just kept me on. things would not be so hard for you because I would have let you stay In bed and not made you stand Im your own feet.' " The senator declared it is time we do stand on our own feet and run our own affairs. He reiterat ed, "If we ever have bad govern ment, it is because the good citi zens forget to vote." ; Senator Bennett speaks tonight at the 18th annual Klamath Basin Potato Febtival banquet at Merrill. It will be a non-political talk. After his conferences with Re publican leaders here on behalf of the reelection of Senator Guy Cor don, Senator Bennett will return to his home In Salt Lake City, SHOOTING HOURS Oregon ' October 23 .

Germans American policy of getting the Germans Into NATO, Dulles com mented that this step would "help achieve a solution of European problems." Mendes-France made his state ment concerning the Saar with the full backing of his cabinet, which a few moments before had unan imously endorsed his policy and actions In the conferences here this week. His statement, in effect, set a 34-hour deadline for France and West Germany to come to terms over the future status of the tiny frontier area, which is wealthy in coal and steel. Plans have been made for the signing Saturday afternoon of ac cords to restore West German sovereignty and enlist the Qer- I mans as a full partner in the Western defense system. The French Premier, already has made It plain he will not sub mit these accords for the new Western European Union to the French Parliament unless there is a Saar settlement. As Meudes-Fianc emargad KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1954 rrloe Five Cents 16 Fife Telephone (111 Troops May Be Used In LONDON Wl The government Friday warned Britain's 44,000 striking dock workers to return to work by Monday morning or troops will move into the water front. The ultimatum was announced in the House of Commons by La bor Minister Sir Walter Monck- ton. He said the strikers would not prejudice their position in any way by getting back on the Job. While reluctant to use troops. Monckton also made it clear the present tie up could not continue much longer. He said: "The Hovernment has a pri mary and paramount duty to pro tect the life and work of the na tion. On this they are oetevmmea, Thev (the government) nave not found it necessary up to now to introduce military labor, but they will not hesitate to do so as soon as, in weir juagmcm, u, comes necessary." - Monckton's back-to-work p i e a came a day after Arthur Deakln, head of the giant Transport and General Workers Union urged the strikers to end the tieup. A ma jority of those out are members of Deakin's union, acting against their leaders' advice. ncnltln has charged that Com munists are encouraging the 19- day old strike. A demand by dockers for the rirht in ralect overtime work touched off the paralysing work stoppage. Only the members oi the independent National Amalga mated stevedores and Dockers Union about 11,000 worker s have union backing in the strike. Wildcat moves in support of the stevedores idled the other 33,000, despite the appeals from officials of their transport and general workers union to stay on the jtfb. The strike so far has tied up the norta of London. Liverpool. Birk enhead, Hull, Southampton, Roch ester and Garston. These ports employed 52,000 of the nation's 76,000 dock workers.

There will be no other speakers at this meeting. It is sponsored by the voters of ward 3 To Join NATO from the cabinet meeting. West Germany's government and oppo sition leaders agreed on a Joint position on the Saar, reaflirmlng German demands which the French thus far have rejected. The French cabinet scheduled another session Saturday noon to hear reports from Mendes-France on the continued Saar negotiations with Adenauer. The Premier told reporters the West Germans had confronted France with "a new set of condl- tions" for a Saar settlement which he could not approve. This ap parently was a reference to the bipartisan Gertnan settlement handed to the Western Big Three high commissioners earlier in the day. Before the Premier left the" cab inet session, a government spokes man said the German position had "stiffened" much beyond what had been feared. He said that if Men des-France signed other agree ments without getting a settlement of the Saar issue, it is "evident that the National Assembly might refuse to ratify them.

' "It appears certain," he de clared, "that by July 1, the 40, 000.000 surplus in the state treas ury will drop to $7,600,000. Opera tion of state agencies is eating up money much faster than revenues can be obtained. Devising a plan lor returning Oregon to a- sound financial basis will be one of the major problems before the next session of the legislature." Boivin also said he is worried about ever-increasing strength be ing manifested by certain factions opposed to maintenance of Oregon Technical Insltute here. "While I was a member of the State Board of Education." he added, "it was always a last ditch fight to get appropriations through for OTI. It I am elected state sen ator from this, district, keeping OTI operating will be one of my principal aims." The senatorial aspirant also Bald he will campaign for a workable state- law on-off-street parking, "That problem has now become an issue in Bend." he explained, "Such a state law Is badly need ed." Boivin said he plans to spend the remaining days before election campaigning in the Klamath Courv ty. He has made frequent trips during the past few weeks to Lake, Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties.

Good win Knight, in a dramatic! move aimed at determining how much refineries contribute to Los An geles smog. Friday asked the oil industry to voluntarily halt re fining in the county for an in definite period. "I am appealing to the oil com panies to close down voluntarily In the public interest." Knight said, "for such a period ss will permit an adequate test of the amount of smog coming from tho manufacture of gasoline and other petroleum products in this coun ty." , The county's Air Pollution Con trol District says refineries con tribute 250 tons dally of hydro carbonsbelieved the principle tr- ruani in smog. Auto exhausts con tribute 1,100 tons dally. Knight said he would leave the decision on the length of the shut down up to the industry and smog experts. He asked that salaries of re finery workers be paid during the emergency period. There was no immediate offi cial comment from the oil indus try, but observers who declined use of their names said they doubted the industry would shut down as requested. These sources said it is extremely doubtful such a shutdown would prove anything, and it would work a hardship on refineries.. The governor said there ere adequate storage stocks ot gaso line and oil in the Los Angeles area so there will be no scarcity during the test, , "It is fundamental that the pri mary purpose of government Is to protect the health and lives of our people," the governor stated. "This request to the oil companies for decisive action is made by me after spending the last seven days ' engaged in intensively investigat ing all the factors involved in smog. . "For seven long years local of ficials have tried to abate this terrible nuisance, but the fact re mains we still have .smog." Bloodhounds Used In Quest DALLAS, Ore.

The car was taken Thursday night to the sheriff's office to await arrival of Norman Wilson and his bloodhounds from Los Gates. Calif.
