ii'-i Pill AIWhs fo) 1) F 'Era 3 In The i Day's lews By I RANK JLNKI.NS Sometime lo think about: Air Force Secretary Quarles. in; on address al Schenectady New! York this moramg. says Russia is turning out scientists and engi neer. s at a rate con.iidera oly tigh cr thau the Uni'ed auies. He aach: This laci presents a REAL chal lenge to us. Why? Veil, science i3 opening up new world. One has only to read . ? duck and goose hunting from Oc- and listen to ine newscasts to bcMnh.. K,nvamha in bh r acutely aware of that fact. Atom bombs, a3 instruments of destruc tion, and atonnc power as an in strument of peaceful progress on a vas. scale, are examples. Scientists and engineers are the pioneers of tins fabulous new era if In the critical decades io come Russia produces more and BET TER scientists and engineers than we do, the challenge of Russia v ill be a R&AL challenge lo us. Whut can we do about it? What we call the "younger gen eration" the generation that is now entering our high schools and colleges holds the answer. II enough of our young people be come interested in science and en gineering, we can meet the chal lenge. If not Well, in that event We may FALL BEHIND. That's about the long and the thoi't of it. Getting closer home: The U.S. census bureau reports this morning that residents Washington state pay the highest state taxes in the U.S. average of $116 per capita. This ligure draws the fire of Washington's Governor Langlie, who says it is misleading because it fails to reflect LOWER LOCAL LEVEL taxes paid by residents of his state. Why is Washington's governor disturbed by the statement that the people of his state pay the highest state taxes in the coun try? The answer Is quite simple. Washington, along witli all other slates (eopecially our Western states) is striving5 for more IN DUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT in order to balance its economy. Taxes are an important item in deciding where new industries will L? located, because taxes ENTER INTO THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS and so must enter into the, price .at which. the products of industry must oe sow, A state whose taxes are TOQ HIGH is severely handicapped in the competition for new indus tries.

The board, meeting August 25 fn F n IiidaIac cat tli a I oa fnr tober 15 - November 18 and from December 10 this year to Janu ary 15, 1956. Dates lor the pheas ant season in this area were set for November 19 December 15. BOARD MEMBERS Members of the five-man board are William J. Silva, Modesto, chairman; Andy Kelly," Los An peles; Hurley E. Knox, San Diego: Carl Wente, San Francisco, and Weldon Oxley, Redding. O. E. Pedersen. Tulelake. presi dent of the Northeastern Califor nia Conservation League, who has spearheaded a campaign for the last three years for a straight hunting season to conform with Oregon's migratory waterfowl sea son voiced bitterness of what he terms "discrimination by a few against mam.' BLAME LAID Pedersen laid the blame for the "unfair decision" on the law en forcement branch of the state game commission, which he charged with "not wanting to burden law enforcement officials with the dual duties of keeping hunters in line if the migratory waterfowl and pheasant seasons ran concurrently." He also stated that he had een assured immediately before the board met in Los Angeles that recommendations of the Conser vation League for a straight sea son for the Tulelake area would be given favorable consideration. RECOMMENDATION The Conservation League rec ommended a straight season starl ing October 22 and continuing lor SO days to conform with the Ore gon migratory waterfowl season. The proposed season dates would give sportsmen who come here from points in Southern Cal ifornia a chance "to get their money's worth," Pedersen point ed out. "Hunters could bag ducks, geese and pheasants on the same trip." he said. He charged the board with hurt ing the economy of the Tulelake basin and other parts of the state which derive seasonal income from sportsmen. - -J -,. QUESTIONED Pedersei) today questioned that the board actually met on Thurs day, since the San Francisco Ex aminer carried information on the dates set before the board met. Waterfowl have left the Tulelake area before dates of the last half of the season, he said, which leaves only the first half of the .season open for hunting. FREE HUNT AREA Tulelake is the only large, free hunting area left in the state of California Pedersen said. "Sports men who hunt on private game preserves are not affected by the board s decision. It is the fellow who can't afford private club fees but who wants to hunt, that taked a beating." Hunting hours presumably will be the same as in past years, from one lalf hour before sunup to sunset, since the report from the board made no mention of any change in shooting time. Fire Subsides In Bly Forest Fire fighters today are mopping up a blaze that covered over 2,500 acres of pine and fir timber in the Deming Creek area of Fre mont National Forest near Bly.

Price Fivo Centa IS Pases KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1956 Telephone 8111 No. 317Q 60,000 Give Up Fight In Morocco CASABLANCA, Freuch Morocco i Between 50.000 and 60.000 Berber tribesmen who sacked Mo roccrn towns and massacred Eu ropeans last weekend becan turn. in? over their firearms Friday to rrencn inrces. The. first to surrender were members of the Zaian tribe who rodo down from the Atlas Moun tains into Khonifra, southeast of here, on Saturday. . Al nearby Oued Zem, French forces were preparing for the sur render of another Berber tribe the Smaala who took part in the massacre of 80 Europeans in that mining town. The surrender at Khenifra fol lowed a giant cleanup operation by French Legionnaires, Senega lese and Moroccan troops organ ized after last weekend's bloody disorders. The rioting came on the second anniversary of the exile of Nationalist Sultan Mohammed Ben Youssef by the French. French officials in Casablanca said pther tribesmen would come down Oued Zem Friday for a for mal surrender to Gen. Antoine Franchi, French military governor of the resion. The most Important are the white robed Smaala who number over 20,000. They live in the region just south of Oued Zem. 90 miles southwest of Casablanca. The Smaala are held largely re sponsible for the murder last Sat urday of 80 French residents, many of them women and children. Offi cials si id some 6,000 tribesmen fled into the hills to escape the French army. They have suffered heivv losses since their flieht. The most powerful chieftain of Morocco's Berbers, Thamt el Gla- oui, pasha of Mnrrakech, is staunch friend of France and has kept the tvibes on the side of Mo rocco's French admmtstrators. That made the murderous raids on undefended French settlements- a puzzle to the French. The reasons for the Berber attacks' still i obscured Knowland Says 'Be Careful' LOS ANGELES (UP) Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calili, in a warning against "Russian smiles," said last night the Rus sians have "merely changed Ihcu' tactics.'' In a foreign policy speech before 550 members of the Greater Los Angeles Press Clin) ana tneir guests, the Senate minority leedcr said some persons "because of the smiles of Kruschcv and Bulganin." believe "there nas been a pasic change in Russian policy." "I wish I could oeueve mai, oui I cannot. There has been no change. They have merely changed their tactics perhaps tor the pur pose oi Digesting im aoanccs ihey have made in me past iu years." The senator said he feared an atmosphere of "belief" has grown out of the summit conference. But Knowland said there has 'not been a single instance" of the loodening of Soviet inspired tensions "thai were present prior to the Geneva conierence." He cited as liis proof: 1. Failure to unify Germany. 2. No agreement yet on a formu la for control of nuclear wanare. 3. No change In the Russian con- Eastern Munich" which would give Formosa to the Chinese Coinmu nist government. KF School Bid Awarded Charles W.

The Water Users draft was sub mitted In response to an Invitation by Secretary McKay to all Interest ed persons and organizations to oi ler comment and suggestions con cerning the proposed dralt of the contrnct that wa3 made public by the Sacramento office of the rec lamation bureau on August 5. In a letter to Interior Secretary McKay, copies of which were- sent to the Sacramento office of the bu reau, the laud use committee says: The August 17th draft ot a pro posed contract submitted by Ihe water users, which provides for protection of water rights lor all Irrigable lands, rather than protec tion for project lands onlv: and makes title to easements relating to aykes, levies and flowage pari and parcel of Klamath Lake aam ownership, are constructive addi tions to tin- original draft.

Bene fit payments for potatoes so di verted would be 50 cents per 100 pounds up lo Dec. 31 then drop lo 40 cents until March 31, 1038. and afterward to 30 cents until June ;10. 1956. It probably will be Sept. 29 be fore the plan can be put inlo oper ation, he said, and the depart ment will help out only !n states or areas where the "Industry de velops and operates an approved plpn."

Solons Favor Possible Tax Reductions WASHINGTON t.fl Sena. Oco (D-Obi and Milllkln (R-Coloi said Friday they will favor tax reduc tion next year If the Eisenhower administration approaches a bal anced budget In the fiscal year ending next July I. Secretary of the Treasury Huaiphrey said Thursday that "barring some unforeseen develop ment, we think that we should and that we can balance the budget this (fiscal year)." But Humphrey said It was "entirely too early" for him to talk abou; tax cuts. Oeor-je. former chairman ai.i a veteran member of the Senate Fi nance Committee, said in a tele phone Interview from his home at Vienna. Ga., that he thinks it "en tirely possible" the budget will be balanced. MillUin. also a lormer chairman snd top Republican member of the committee, said that he will favor lax cuts when the budget is within -anprorlmate" balance. INCOME TAXES Oeorge said any lax cuts should be limited to individual Income levies, oopslbly attained through an Increase in personal tax exemp tions and some adjustment In rates. Oeortre said he personally be lieves Congress also ought to con. elder reducing some excise taxes where the rates on Individual items are what he called "unusu ally high." He said that budget balancing may be possible because there al ready has been a great reduction in foreign aid spending "and fur ther cuts can be made." Milllkin said he didn't want to specify now what kind of tax cuts would be possible. While Humphrey Is talking hope fully of a balanced budget, the gov. ernment's publlo calculations do not go that far. The official summer budeet re. vision by the Treasury Department aioppea i,too,otra,ooo short of Hum phrey's optimism about the budget outlook. The Treasury still predict ed a deficit of that amount by the end of fiscal year 1958, next June 30. FORECAST BUDGET That was 100 million dollars low er man the figure President Eisen- nower lorucast in his budget mes- ne io congress last January. The cut was based on the iollpwmg re- viaau wrimaies; - 1. Spending will total i63.SO0.ft0O.. ooo this -fiscal year l,xr,ooo.(JoOr more than Ihe January estimate, but 700 millions less than spending of H-. billions in fiscal 1055, ended June 30. ?. But the sovermnent'a Income will be swelled enough bv ttfu ran- id economic expansion now .In progress to more than overbalance the rise In the spending estimate. Receipts for the current fiscal year are now estimated at 362,100,000. 00012,100.000,000 above the esti mate maqe last January, and sl.8O0.0O0,00U higher than the fiscal tax yield of $6,300,000,000. 3. The budget deficit is now estl. maled at $1,700,000,000 for the fis cal year. Instead of the $2,400,000. 000 forecast in January. The deli elt for llscal 1953 was 14,200,- 000.000. NKW DEFICIT The new deficit would be the low- est in five years, and would be only 3 per cent of total spending. r.ven so. there was everv indi cation that the $1,700,000,009 red Ink forecast was little more than official caution. The budget re view text said it was possible thai a balanced budget will be brought Into sight as the year unfolds." - And Humpnrcy. oovlousiv enjoy ing what he was saying, read the tollowlng statement, made iolntlv with Budget Director Rowland R. Hugnes, to newsmen' "If there Is ever a time when our budget should be balanced, It Is now.

It is worse for government to do so. History shows how continued heavy deli cits contribute to inflation, with rapidly rising costs, finally result ing in destruction of all values . . .
