t la The- Day's lews Ditto By FRANK JENKINS There is an interesting; little story in the news of Ule day this is written. It concerns Owen O. Young, former industrialist, linan cier and statesman, who on bis 80th birthday the other day told reporters who remembered him and came to see him that he Is too old to pass out adviee now. Celebrating the day quietly at his home in Von Hornesvllle, Nevr York, he commented: "I don't think the advice of an old man is any good." I don't know about that, Mr, . Young. You know the old proverb: "Old men for counsel, young men for war." In our modem world, as well as in the older world, we must have both counsellors and lighting men If we are to survive. So, if I were you, I wouldn't hes itate to give forth out o( your ex perience if you have anything in the way of advice that you consid er worth giving. , Bernard Baruch Is no spring chicken, and he never hesitates to give advice when he thinks it may be useful. The fact that his ad vice which is apt to be conserv ative is seldom taken in these days never seems to bother him. Pressed by the newsmen for some kind of an Interview there feis nothing that gripes a good re- . porter like being sent out to in terview somebody and men ruin ing that the somebody won't talk Mr. Young did go on to aay that he thought the most stimulating - thing of his life was his part in the development of the American radio Industry. He explained that President Wil son had become so impressed with the then youthful medium of radio that he had urged Young to lead the General Electric Company in Its development. Young said he ac cepted the challenge and set about mobilising the inventive genius and manufacturing know-how in the United States lor. radio's growth. The result of his efforts, along with those of his colleagues and his competitors, has been the giant radio and television industry of the United States, whicrrhaa been one of the wonders of the world. There was another result. Out of the research in radio stimulated? by General Electric and Westinghouse, who were and ' are the giants, and their multifold smaller competitors came the war time miracle of radar. Fortunately, In World War II, our country and our allies had the jump on radar. No one can ever know how much this "Jump" on our enemies may have contributed to our ultimate victory. I know that in these days as, Tor that matter there was In the days of the past" there Is Jeal ousy and suspicion of BIGNESS, But I think it will be well it we remember that our country Is a big country and If It is to remain safe and prosperous it must have BIO INDUSTRIES. . It is also worth recalling that an astonishing change has come about in our big business. There was a time when big business was owned and operated by a lew big men. That time Is past. One of the most interesting and perhaps least known facto in connection with modern BIG BUSINESS such as General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse, U.S. Steel and so on is that the number of stock holders in these big industries us ually equals and sometime ex ceeds the number of the workers employed by them.

Williams (left) of California when be was interviewed by Floyd Wynne, KFLW newscaster. The interview will be broad cast at 7:45 p.m. Sunday. Senator Williams came here to address the Klamath Falls Unit of Alcoholics Anonymous. He said alcoholism is costing California between $120,000,000 and $300,000,000 a year. He added there are 125,000 acute alcoholics in that state. Aliuras Senator Describes Alcoholics Research Plan An age-old belief that chronic drunkenness Is a hopeless afflic tion has been dispelled by Alco holics Anonymous. State Senator Dale C. Williams of Alturas made that statement last night when he addressed a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous in the AA Center, 120 Riverside, Maple Park. The senator, who was co-spon sor of a measure recently passed by the California Legislature for a statewide alcoholic research and rehabilitation program, said, there are 135,000 chronic alcoholics in the Golden State. , i "In California," he continued, "six and a half million persons use alcohol. Of these, 600,000 are excessive users. The social, mor al and financial losses to the state of California occasioned by the de terioration of 600.000 adults is stag gering. It has been conservatively estimated that In terms of wage Police Hunt Girl's Killer JOHNSTOWN, Pa. M A squad of nine state policemen pressed relentlessly Saturday to find the slayer of 6-year-old Karen Mauk, killed while she was making a "trick or treat" tour of the neigh borhood in true Halloween fashion. Sgt. J. A. Blair, a veteran of the force and the father of three chil dren, heads the squad which has been ordered to stay on the case Indefinitely. , Blair says there's only one real clue to the man who killed Karen and left her unclothed body in a cemetery at nearby Conemaugh Borough where it was foind early Friday by a volunteer fireman. He declared: "A tall thin man has been re ported seen in the Conemaugh area the past two days. We've had different descriptions of him and he is reported to have approached several children. ..Just before Karen was reported missing a 14- yeaT-oid girl told us the man touched her shoulder as she walked along the street but she broke away quickly and went home. State police have been Joined by other policemen in a widespread aiea in the- search for Karen's slayer. Although an autopsy showed no evidence of criminal assault, Police Chief George Fesko of Conemaugh said the slaying is "the brutal work of a sex mani ac." Coroner Joseph Govekar said an autopsy disclosed that Karen had died of suffocation. State police theorized that a coat or other ob ject might have been held over her mouth. til '71 rfv 7 - 1 ' "if JH j . '.. losses, public welfare costs and expenses resulting from arrests and jail sentences, excessive drinking is costing California be tween $120,000,000 and $300,000,000 annually." Senator Williams also said that in California five out of six alco holics are men and five out of six alcoholics are between 30 and SS years old, the most productive years of their lives. 'I believe," he added, "that these figures on a per capita ba sis would be stout the same in Oregon or any other state. When the California Legislature .realized the impact of excessive drinking on the state's economy, it enacted our alcoholic rehabilitation law, One hundred thousand dollars was the initial appropriation. A simi lar amount will be made avail able each year through liquor tax ation." Most of the credit for passage of the law, according to Senator Williams, goes to Alcoholics Anon ymous. It was members of AA, mostly lawyers, who put the facts before the legislature," he explained. "A 10-man commission has been set up to carry out the rehabilitation program and -two of its members are representatives of Alcoholics Anonymous." The senator then, quoted from an official report of the California Legislature whloh stated: . Present methods of dealing with the problem of alcoholism with the exception of the miracu lous work of Alcoholics , Anony mous, are in many cases expen sive, sometimes barbaric and oft en do not rehabilitate or prevent excessive drinking."

Suit Blocks O&C Payment PORTLAND m Final settle ment of the complicated Oregon and California land grant contro versy is being blocked by two Clackamas County Commissioners, Sen. Guy Cordon said Friday. Cordon did not name the com missioners, but Stan Skoko and Bob Jones are pressing litigation. .

Legislation for disbursement of more than five million dollars in timber revenues to 18 O&C counties has been completed. Cordon said. "I need not add that these funds are badly needed by the counties for various activities, particularly for construction and improvement of county roads," he said. Former Governor Comes To Defense Of Small Boy; Heads Him Toward New Life WEST MONROE, la. Il Ten- year-old Joe Cooper and the mon grel dog he rescued from the gas chamber with a loaded shotKun headed for a new life today under the protective wing of a former governor of Louisiana. "Attaboy, Joe. we knew you could do It," his school chums shouted when City Judge Howell Heard announced the boy would bt released from the reform school and put in the custody of -a mar ried half-sister, Mrs. Ra.y Foy. -The decision came last night' af ter former Gov. James A. No?, a stalwart in the old Hucy P. Long regime, made a surprise ap pearance at the Juvenile court hearing and took - up the boy a cause. Noe agreed to head a nation wide' fund-raising drive to send the son of the Impoverished widow to an exclusive boy's school in Ten nessee and later to college. "The dog will go, too. It's U arranged." Noe beamed as he posed lor pictures with the Judge and Atty. Murphy Backwell. who volunteered In the boy s defense. Joe, tears welling- In his large blue eyes, seemed bewildered by the scene of wild Jubilation about him. He smiled faintly when neigh bors and schoolmates shook his hand and pounded his back, then burled his head on his mother's shoulder and sobbed helplessly. ne i crying Because he hap Dixon-Yates Contract Plan Criticized As WASHINGTON Wl Gordon R. Clapp, former chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, said Saturday, President Elsenhower's approval of the controversial Dix on Yates Power contract was based on "an exceedingly alanted presentation" by the Budget Bur eau. "I wish the President understood more about it," Clapp declared. Clapp testified in the senate anti-monoDolv! subcommittee in vestigation of the proposed con tract to feed private power into TV A lines. He criticised a memo randum Budget Director Rowland Hughes sent tne president last April 24, recommending approval of the project. He said the Hughes Memoran dum "is notable for' the things It did not say." , Clapp testified that if he knew little about private ' power and TV A and had such a memo randum before him, "I imagine I might have accepted Hughes' recommendation" to authorise the Soil District Voting Held Practically all of Klamath Coun ty will soon be in a soli conserva tion district. This was - decided Thursday when farmers In the Keno, Lower Klamath Lake, Klamath Falls, A 1 g o m a, Pine Grove, Henley, Merrill and Malln, areas voted to Include in the Klamath Soil Conservation Dis trict all of that portion of Klam ath County not already within the boundaries of an existing district.

Official Hits Yalta Policy WASHINGTON Wl Asst. Sec retary of Defense H. Struve Hensel Saturday compared "our conces sions to the Russians at Yalta and Potsdam" with "naive suggestions by some former British statesmen about dealing with Red China." Hensel set forth his views in a speech prepared for delivery to the Washington Forum for Bank Ex ecutives. Reviewing developments In World War II and postwar policies, Hensel said: "Our policy of 'unconditional sur render for Germany and Japan undoubtedly prolonged the struggle and increased- the 'destruction of property and strength. The result might have been worse in Japan If the Allies had Insisted as was urged on abdication by the em peror before the acceptance of sur render. The Morgenthau plan for a pastoral Germany must bear Its share of the responsibility. "Our concessions to the Russians at Yalta and Potsdam reflected an unawareness of the Russian threat which Is being repeated In the cur rent naive suggestions by some former British statesmen about dealing with Red China." py, we're all happy," explained Mrs. I. L. Cooper, 65-year-old mother of Joe and eight other children. "I prayed that I'd never have to give him up, but It's better this way. He's a good boy and he won't ever have to go back to that school." . Wednesday, Joe heads for the Webb School for Boys In Bell Buckle, Tenn., hundreds of miles from the reform school where he spent a little more than three weeks and the - rural grammar school where he and his dog, Tip ple, first got Into -trouble. It was the morning of Oct. 6 that the lank and lean mongrej followed Joe's bike into the school yard. The principal. Mrs. Tina Clark, and truant officer Morris Orlggs found themselves looking at a loaded shotgun after they locked the unvacclnated dog in a closet and sent for a dogcatcher. "They ald they were going to kill my dog. , .He's not much but he's all I got." was Joe's reason for getting the lamlly shotgun and spending lunch money on a shell. Police quickly disarmed the blond sixth-grader before nny dam age waa done and. In less than fiva hours, a Juvenile court sent him to the Louisiana Training In stitute, a boy'a reformatory on the outskirts of nearby Monroe. But friends and neighbors, who knew Joe's unboundlng love for dogs, cats, raccoons and even ' Slanted Atomic Energy Commission to go ahead with the contract. Under the proposal, AEC would arrange for a private utilities group known as "Dixon Yatea" after the names of its principal of ficers to send electricity into TV A lines. The power would make up for electricity that TVA furnishes AEC plants in Tennessee and Ken tucky. ' The Dixon - Yatea grouo would build a 107-mlllton - dollar steam plant at West Memphis. Ark., to service consumers In the Mem phis, Term., area. AEC haa ap proved but not signed the con tract, the subject of controversy for months. Only Saturday Sen. Kerr (D -Okla) predicted the contract would never go into effect If Dem ocrats win control of Congress In next Tuesday's elections. "And." he added in an inter view, "They will win control." Kerr, a candidate for another six year term, commented In advance of Clapp's recall to the committee stand. Clapp said Hughes' memoran dum "plays down the disadvant ages Inherent in the Dixon-Yates proposal." "It favors Dixon-Yates," Clapp said, "and by skillful Innuendo encourages the reader of the memorandum to believe that the TVA does not know much about the power business." He added that the memorandum "brushes oft the experience of TVA experts." And he said , It "seems to me something that ap- proacnes dereliction ot amy." Oregon Water Job Approved WASHINGTON I Approval of a Reclamation Bureau report on the proposed Waplnltla Project, Juniper Division, in Oregon, was announced Friday by Secretary of the Interior McKay, The report haa been sent to state and federal agencies tor atudy be fore being sent to the President and Congress for possible .author ization,: McKay reported. .

" Vote Ends Paralyzing Dock Strike LONDON Ml Britain's atrlklng dockmen voted Saturday to go back to work on Monday and end the paralyzing waterfront stoppage which has brought this maritime nation's trade to a virtual stand still. 'The 27-day-old walkout of 43.- 000 men ended In compromise, with the promise of a final settle ment to be hammered out within a month. Vic Marney, a strike leader, told a mass meeting ot dockers outside London's Idle wharves: "We have won a glorious victory." : The back-to-work vote was taken at a series of mass meetings up and down the country. The London men voted first to go back. Within minutes the rest of Brltain'a ma jor porta followed their example. The London men agreed to re turn to work on condition that overtime work should be on a vol untary basis and that men who re fused to work overtime would not be disciplined. In other ports, the overtime is sue is to be settled by local nego tiations. ' , Further meetings will be held In a month's time to review progress In getting the voluntary overtime principle written into agreements in London and provincial ports. The walkout, which was strongly supported by Communists, began when 7,000 members of the Na tional Amalgamated - Stevedores and Dockers Union walked out to enforce its demands that overtime be voluntary. Employers have maintained that the dependence el ship operations on the tides made compulsory overtime a necessity. The stevedores were Joined by members of the mammoth Trans port and General Workers Union who atruck In sympathy against the advice of their union leaders. TGWU dookers In Southampton, Liverpool, Hull, Rochester and Birkenhead also joined the unof ficial walkout..
