One of those cloak and dapyer alfairs all ccncrcd Willi flaps and buttons and hk'h collars and sword hooks and bdis and the rest of the para phernnfia. Everything, in fact, ex cept an army cot. It is the belt that causes me the mental confusion, not to men tion the physical anguish. On tins bcli are (wo metal loops. They are probably deviled to hang sonielhins on. A sword, muyb or a leather bound notebook or some other accoutrement of the wcll-rquippcd army man. Now this belt has a buckle, a slide to re tain the long end of the belt it self and all the other common at tachments. It is obviously designed to be worn in such a manner that tlio.se loops will be on the bottom of the belt. Time after lime alter wearv time I have put that belt Ihroui-.h the loops with the brass rings on the bottom, onlv to find, on try ing to take the belt off, that they were on the top side.

By 1850 many of (he one-time admirers of our then Junior Sena tor had become disillusioned, and disgusted. Prominent politicians were canvassed as potential pri mary opponents. One after an other each faint heart declined. Better to ride coat tails than risk defeat and political oblivion. Finally, when time was too short, a man was found who had the courage to take on the champ. Remember Dave Hoover of Dead wood? While most of the . parly liners were either sulking In their tents or whooping It up for Morse, Hoover put on a slugtest that had Junior screaming "smear." Even the Oregon Statesman, who sup ported Morse, admitted after the primary that Hoover had polled an astounding vote. And as we look upon Morse, today, Hoover's ef fort to unseat him was prophetic. Today we face a similar situa tion. Having squeaked through the last election our governor was looked upon, for a time, as a senatorial aspirant with a faint THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN p. JORDAN, M.l). There seems to be a treinen-1 dous amount f excitement on the j subject, "Why children don't read j earlier and better than they do." 1 I haven't the sliKhtes.t intention of Retting in the bitter controversy which is rnRiua. Everyone seems lo be blaming someone or some thing eUe for the tuilure of our children to read as much and as well as their elders would like them to. The only question which can properly be discussed here is what part health has to do with read- lntr disaoihties in children. An ex cellent .symposium on this subject appeared recently in one ol the medical journals in California. The participants seemed agreed that the proble-n was not at all a new one and that in most instances there arc several causes and con tributing factors involved. It was pointed out that a hearing defect in a child might well result in reading difficulties. There are, likewise some disorders of the eyes, including simple deficiencies in visual acuity and a few other comparatively uncommon visual defects, which may interfere with learning- to read. Disorders of these organs of sense, however. are relatively easy to diagnose and cannot often be blamed as the onlv cause of failure or delay in learn ing' to read.

To paraphrase Will Rogers "The Re publican party is in good condition as a whole but how much condi tion is there in a hole"? The Republican party wants no unwilling, sarsaparilla candidate. The situation demands a man of action. If Republicans entertain any hope of defeating Morse, they had better bestir themselves from their lethargy and decide on a candidate who is willing to stand on his own two feet and do battle; one who will, in the lan guage of the Oregon Voter "make his own issues and not be drawn into Morse's spurious undertow." Where is there a better candidate than he who had the intestinal fortitude and the foresight to chal lenge Uie one-time hero when timid souls declined? I, therefore nominate Dave Hoover.

One ol the speakers, in particu lar, emphasized the fnct that emo tional and social maladjustments are quite common among children with reading disabilities.

Spe cific physical disorders responsi ble are not often found, though Miey mav occur. In general, the conclusion from this and other studies of the sub ject would seem to indicate that cooperation between the parents, schoolteachers and administra tors, physicians and psycholocists oficrs much more hope of solv ing an individual child's reading problems than the present wide spread attit'ide jf trying to place the blame on some persons or sys tem. i Twelve of the 44 early reporting ! corporations show nine months profits Iroiltng- 1954 And two of the I 44 operated In the led this year, j compared witti four in tlr.it plight Inst year, niong the 12 oiit of step with the majoritv are coir. ! panics turning out airplanes, paint, oil and elcc'.rical equipment, j Some ol the best gains over 19.-H reported by the 32 on the upside j were tinned In by railroads, three j farm equipment manufacturers, lour metalworkers, three rubber linns, two textile and two ply wood companies, j biote shies .so iar this ea seem j lo Uireslie:lov gams m retail profits I when the icpoits are published in j tile ueNt tow weeks.

Teen-Ager For Murder NEW YORK UP) Police today charged a teen-age youth with murder in the slaying of a young park department employe shot down within earshot of 200 horrified witnesses and arrested three others. Hiram Rosa, 17, was charged with murder some 10 hours after Frank Gargiulo, 20. was shot fatal ly in the chest while he performed his duties as attendant at an East Side Park. Rosa was booked shortly after police issued a "must solve" or der in the slaying which terrorized scores of mothers visiting the park with their children late Wednesday. Many of the women ran scream ing from the scene when Gargiulo fell mortally wounded. The others arrested were David Vargas, 17. charged with felonious assault and possession of a gun; John Barnett, 17, simple assault, and an unidentified 15-year-old boy, charged with Juvenile delinquency. Police said Barnett had been in a fight with Michael Flynn, 16. in the park early Wednesday atte. noon. Gargiulo broke up the fight and ordered the boys to leave the park, according to police. A- short time later Rosa, Vargas, and the unidentified 15-year-old boy came to the park with a gun, police said. The three approached Flynn and Rosa took the gun and pulled the trigger, but the pistol failed to fire. They said Flynn sought refuge with Ciargiulo and the three. teen agers went to the park attendant and asked him if he was a friend ol Flynn. Gargiulo said no. Rosa filed. Gargiulo fell dead with a bullet in his chest. Police said Vargas was a friend of Barnett. They theorized he and his two companions had gone to the park to seek revenge for the fight in which Barnett had en gaged with Flynn. The murder weapon was later found in Vargas' home.

Week KIRKPATRICICS we give s&h green stamps aAlSk Appliances 7th & Klamath NATUI In view of the problem of in creasing population pressures in the world there has been a great deal of study devoted to land class ification particularly by the Interna, tjonal Institute of Agriculture be-, fore World War II and now by the United Nations organization. Out ol studies made by the internation al organizations we gain some in teresting facta about the land sur face ol the world which is esti mated at approximately 13 billion hectares upon the metric scale. This 13 billion hectares in terms of our units of lano) measure would be 50 million square miles. Other estimates vary from this figure by as much as five per cent depend ing chiefly on the amount of area assigned to the polar regions which they either include or ex clude. In the estimates of the In stitute of Agriculture that part of the land surface of Greenland which is covered with Ice was ex cluded. The scientists of the Institute sagely stated that the land sur face of the globe could be meas ured in 260 major units, a major unit was a new measure of their devising In an attempt to reduce billions of hectares into a more comprehensive figure. A major unit in their thinning would be an area equal to the size of France; thus the world could be divided up into 260 areas the size of France. If each major unit was as dense ly populated as France In the 1920's the world would contain 10 billion people. Europe and Oceania are continents of about the same size bur very differently populat ed. Europe having some 50 times the population of the other. Just in case Oceania may be a word you may not commonly use, it is the geographical term cover ing the Islands of the Pacific, In eluding Melanesia. Micronesia. Polynesia, New Zealand. Australia and the Malay Archipelago. In some writing about Oceania; New Zealand, Australia and the Malay Archipelago are excluded from this continental term. Asia and the New World of North and South America are about the same size but Asia has about five times the population of the latter. Placing land areas in million square miles we find that Europe has four million, Oceania has three million: North and Central Ameri ca has nine million; South Ameri ca has seven million; Africa has 11 million; and Asia has 16 mil lion. Europe with 7.8 per cent of the world's land area has 24.9 per cent of the population. Asia with 31.7 per cent of the land area of the world has 55.3 per cent of the world's population. Thus roughly, 4(1 per cent ot the world s sur face embraced by Europe and Asia has 80 per cent of the world's people. The interesting fact most stu dents of population continually stress is the growing importance of the Pacific Ocean and their prediction that the great growth of commerce and industry of the future will be between the people who border this vast body of wa ter for they comprise over 67 per cent of the population of the world. It Is. .for this reason these scien tists say that the great future de velopment of the United States will by necessity concentrate upon Uie Pacific Coast. The International Institute of Ag riculture made a somewhat de tailed study of the utilization of the land surface of 39 countries to which it had access and at a time before the rise of the "Iron cur tain" in Russia. The area included In this study contained somewhat less than one half the land surface of the world. The study Included nearly all of Europe and North America but great areas In Asia, Africa and South America were not included. 5 Decorator P I likewise. China and -Brazt were omitted for lack of official infor mation. Before World War II there were 214 different recognizable govern ment units, many of which were colonies of seme one of the then seven "Great Powers." The United States was responsible for several at that time, as lor. example. Alas ka. Virgin Islands. Panama (Ca nal Zone i, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Guam, Hawaii and American Sa moa. There were 40 states with more than a million persons each, four of which with their colonies held 100 million each; four others con tained 50 to 100 million, while there were nine states each having a population between 10 and 50 mil lion. " The population of the 38 coun tries the Institute reported upon had about 60 per cent of the 1.820. 000.000 of the world's population ertlmate at the time of the study. The analysis gave a good picture of occidental agriculture of the 1920's although some oriental ag riculture under western influence was included. The institute divided the area of each country Into three categor ies, viz: Productive, unproductive and unspecified or, officially un known. The first division was in tended to include all la'nd from which any agricultural return, however little, was obtained. This led to difficulties in classification. In the U.S. for example, they used all lands in farms whether classi fied by our census as improved or unimproved in their class as pro ductive land. Lands not owned in farms was classified as unproductive in the sense of not being used for agricul tural crops. In most countries the forests are Included as productive land, while in our country the greater part of the forest land is outside the designation of "land area in farms." Thus we see that the .difficulty of making a clear cut distinction between productive and non pro ductive land either present or fu ture is a difficult one to make, yet the figures they arrived at were interesting in showing the relation of population to land area. Young Demos Want Changes PORTLAND 'in The Young Democrats of Oregon want the Senate Interim . Committee on Elections to , consider change? which" would allow a certain amount if residence changing be fore elections without forfeiting the rignt to vote. In a letter to the committee chairman, Pat Lonergan, R. Vernon Cook, president of the Young Dem ocrats, said that a person moving from one location to the other within a legislative district should be permitted to vote for legislative candidates. Similarly, the proposal suggests that it a person lives within a county for six months he should be able to vote for county offices' even though changing residence between precincts. And. the proposal continues, "any person residing within the state of Oregon for the period of six months should be permitted to vote for all state-wide candidates even though he moved from Rose nurg to ftillsboro during the per iod." It also calls for election day to he made a legal holiday and for employers to be required to give four consecutive free hours for voting or else keep polls open 'to 10 p. m.

National Party Leads Election JAKARTA, Indonesia im A mounting Nationalist party lead in returns from Indonesia's first par liamentary elections brought new demands today for the ouster of Prime Minister Burhanuddin Hara hap's caretaker government. Harahap's Moslem Masjumi par ly was running fourth, behind the Moslem Orthodox Radicals and thq Communists as well as the Na tionalists. The Prime Minister, whose friendliness to the West con trasts with Nationalist coolness, has said he will step down only after the new Parliament Is organized early next year. However, leaders of several par ties represented In the temporary government suggested that their ministers resign to provoke a Cabi net crisis. Some newspapers joined in the Nationalist and Communist demands that President Soekarno dissolve the appointed provisional Parliament to force Harahap's Cabinet out of office. Some newspapers suggested that Soekarno, a Nationalist party vet eran who now Is officially above politics, head an Interim govern ment. The Nationalists are certain to fall short of a majority In the new 278-member Parliament, but the third-place Communists are ready to Join them m a coalition govern ment. Nationalist Prime Minister All Sastroamidjoio held on for the past two years with Red backing, and the two parties, domestic pro grams are similar. The Nationalists also say they have no objection lo domestic communism if it is not controlled from abroad. With more than half the antici pated vote tabulated unofficially, this was the standing of the major parties: Nationalists 7,800,000. Mos lem Orthodox Radicals 6,259,673, Communists 5.540,883, and Moslem Masjumi 4.842,448. The voting is continuing by stages in 'outlying Islands.
