PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON TUESDAY. DECEMBER 20. 195s FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing. Editor Entered u second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls, Ore., on August 30, 1906, under act of Congress, March I. 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS ' AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER 1 MONTH .. t l.M MONTHS 9 00 1 YEAR IU.O0 MAIL 1 MONTH t 1.40 MONTHS I M 1 YEAR ilJ.OO Housing I'InnN By MAX WAUCHOPE With the announcement by Ed Bell, chairman of the housing di vision ol the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce, that the U.S. Air Force and the Federal Housing Administration have plans for a military housing project near the jet interceptor base, the hous ing picture In Klamath Falls has brightened considerably over what it was earlier tills fall. J. Guy Arrlngton, FHA regional director In Portland, indicated to Bell that the request for the pro ject came to the FHA from the office of the Secretary of the Air Force. This request follows the line which the Air Force, and other branches of the service, have fol lowed In regards to air bases In other parts of the country. These projects have been built under the Capchart Amendment known as Title Vllf of the FHA. Tills amend ment allows tlie FHA to furnish ' 100 per cent of the funds for de fense housing near military bases. Under normal FHA building reg ulations it doesn't actually furnish anv funds for building but merely Insures a certain percentage of the loan which is lent by a private lending Institution to private build' ders, After construction is completed under Title VIII the project Is turned over to the U8AF and the loan is repaid to FHA from the rents the USAF collects from its personnel occupying the housing. An important point for Investors, and other interested citizens of , Klamath Falls to remember is that these housing projects never have furnished enough housing around any of the bases In the U.S. where they have been built. Although the Air Force baa not Indicated how many units it will ask the FHA to finance In Klamath Falls, the Air Force has indicated in surveys released earlier this fall that they expect to need at least 406 units here to house their married personnel. This total will be needed by the end of 1956, according to U8AF figures. Bell's housing committee and the U.S. Air Force project officers here 1 concur in stressing the fact that even If the Air Force does build several hundred. housing units near the jet base a vital need for bous ing will still exist in the Klamath Falls area. As hns been said before, it is much better to wrestle with a posi tive problem Instead of a' negative one such as some of the commu nities of New England are now facing. Mnny of these Eastern cities are laced Willi a dwindling population, manufacturing plants moving to otner sections 01 tne country and many other such prob lems which must be much harder to deal with than our problems of growing pains. The air officers pointed out that If enough adequate housing is pro vided in this area for the married members of the USAP stationed here there is a strong possibility that the jet bnse will grow In size In the next few years. On the re . verse side of the coin, they also Indicated that It was within the realm of possibility for the Air Force to pull out of this area if the housing problems here become acute enough. This was not meant as a threat but it is a thought that points out the Importance of housing the mili tary personnel adequately when they are stationed in Klamath Falls. Another hopeful thought to re member Is that after World War II a large number of Marines and Navy men returned here to make their homes after being stationed In Klamath Falls during their training or convalescence here. Mnny of these men now own homes in Klamath Falls. With the fine hunting and fish ing of tilts area and the bright bus iness future of the Klamath Basin it is to be expected that many Air Force personnel will return here to make their permanent homes after retirement or upon the end of their enlistments. Bell and his committee have stressed an optimistic approach to these problems during all meetings about the military housing needs. Although the pnth does have pit falls and rocks on It. thev believe that by continued effort the needs will be met and that Klamath Falls will be a better, more pro gressive community when the prob lems are resolved. any Orandjean, he might know what we were talking about. Monsieur Orandjean, fortunate ly, was in his inn. He was short and grey. He had watery blue eyes, a drooping grey mustache and a nose the color of wall paper pink. He saddened visibly when he heard the question. "Please, monsieur," he said, "don't sing the song about her. You are an American. That is nothUig against you, but I've heard enough of that song about the Mademoiselle from Arnientleres," "Tell him," I told the inter preter, "that I don't want to sing the song. I Just want to know what he knows, or what any citizen 01 this town knows about someone who. in certain circles, must be about the best known woman in France." Monsieur Orandjean tightened his lips. "Several person ," he said, "have claimed to be the original mademoiselle of this song that went "Pinkey, Plnkey Paries vous' " "Hlnky, Dinky, Paries Vous," I corrected him. "No matter," he said, "she is not here now and I doubt if she ever was here." "No monument to her?" I asked. "No little plate on any house?" "Monsieur," he gasped, a little shocked at the suggestion. "Do you know the words of this song?" Monsieur Orandjean answered a lot of questions about the Isdy whose name came so lightly to the lips of so many American soldiers of the First World War. He added that Arnientleres wis not, so far as he knew, occupied by American troops in World War I, but by the British. He said that over the years he has been telling people that no one of her descrip tion ever lived In Arnientleres. . At this point I asked the Inter preter to interrupt him. "He speaks of her 'description'," I said, "obviously he never heard all the words." 'No matter," said M on s 1 r Orandjean, "I am tired of the sub ject. And" If there ever was such a person she probably came from some place such as Clermont-Fer rand." "If you are going to guess," I said, "Toulouse would be better venson and Williams have already I violet lamp except under the ad reached the specific state, at least vice of a physician. to the point of spelling out some When used on the normal human of the Items In a program they 1 skin, ultraviolet lamps will produce say Is needed. changes much like those of the But until more Democrats get sun.

"Monsieur, we By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON ( If the Demo- crats could Just get a few more presidential candidates to take off their sweaters and run out on the field, they'd have a pretty lively game going. It may turn lively soon, and rough, too. While the Democratic hopefuls are bucking the Republicans they are also knocking each other's heads together. One or more may land in the political infirmary be fore the party's convention blows the whistle and picks a candidate. Adlni Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee are the only Democrats who have come right out and started running. They may have some company before convention next August. New York's Gov. Averell Harrl man says he's not an "active" candidate. But he acts like a man racing down the sidelines, hoping for a forward pass and yelling "Hey, fellahs, look at me." Two other governors Ohio's Frank Lausche and Michigan's O. Mennen Williams at the moment seem bothered by restrain only to the point of not saying tney're csndldstes. They're sure making sounds like eandldates. Lausche simply says he will be his state's "favorite son'1 candi date, which can be Interpreted as meaning he won't stump the coun try for the nomination but would love to get it at the convention. Williams, like Harrlman. is not bashful. Both have hit Stevenson over the head with a charge which. , to some people, may seem as deadly as a balloon. They complain he wants to follow a moderate course. But there are probably plenty who disagree with them If they think they sound more aggressive or progressive than Stevenson. One thing is certain: they can't be sen sationally dltferent and expect their party's nomination. There a a good reason: The Dem Bv SAM DAWSON NEW YORK 11 Belief In Santa Claus doubtless is more common among the little Virginias of our land than among hardheaded American businessmen. But the titans of Industry might well be writing letters to the good saint, for all we know. If so, here are some things they may be ask ing him to put under their Christ mas trees: Please, Santa, bring a tax cut almost any old tax cut: on our profits, our take home pay or on the products' we make and hope to sell. At the same time, naturally, we expect you to see thst the budget gets bslanced, the federal debt reduced, and national de fenses made ever stronger. As little politics as possible, too, please. It will be an election year, but don't let them make business the whipping boy. Don't notice 11 big business gets bigger. At the same time, help little business. Let everybody make scads of money, and nobody fall (except maybe one or two of our more troublesome competitors). And go easy on those congres sional probes. We spend countless man hours preparing for them. They come high in time and money. And when they're over, often as not we just wonder whst the shooting was all about. For that matter, you've no Idea. Santa, how much time we spend filling out government forms, how msny clerks we hire Just to keep Washington Informed about sometimes we aren't sure what about. If the new year brings a guar anteed annual wage for labor, please, Santa, give us guaranteed annual profits, our stockholders guaranteed annual dividends, and the dads of the land guaranteed annual bank accounts riding high above the first of the month bills. Then drop in our stocking a glos sary of terms to show what the Russians mean when they say something. We look up their words in ordinary dictionaries but the meanings obviously aren't the same. We could all sleep better, plan better, enjoy the fruits of peace and prosperity more, if we could Just be sure that what we think we see Is really peace and prosperity with any kind of last ing quality. And, Santa, something for our selves: please see to it that next year we get tariff cuts on every thing we buy as purchasing agents for our firms or as individual cus tomers in the stores but be sure, of course, to see that we get a higher tariff on everything that we make in our particular factory. Then see if you can t bring some peace and quiet in this squabble between the auto makers and their dealers. Make sure that both grow richer and richer, but that we get a real good buy ourselves (way below list price) when we go shopping for a new car. Finally, Santa, If it isn't asking too much, settle that farm prob lem. Somehow make the surpluses of farm products disappear with a profit to the government and without costing the taxpayers a cent and also without hurting the feelings of our friends and allies who themselves have farm prod ucts to sell on the world market. Let farm prices rise so that the farmers will have more money to spend on the things we make. But make real sure that if prices rise for the farmers the cost of living doesn't go up for us. What say, Santa? we've been real good boys most of the time in 1965. sunburn will occur if the skin is exposed too long. This can be dan gerous Just as sunburn sometimes is, The rays are particularly hazard ous to the eyes as the sensitive nerve tissues lying In the back of the eye can be seriously and therefore, should look Into sn ultra violet lamp any more than they would look into the sun. If given In small doses at proper Intervals, ultraviolet rays will cause tanning of the skin (In those who tan at all) In much the same way that sunllRht does. If the danger of overexposure Is avoided this tan. nlng often aids the appearance as well as stimulating vitamin D for mation. Sunlamps By EDWIN P. JORDAN. M.D. Each year when winter rolls around a number of inquirers ask about the value, possible hazards and other qualities of so-called sun tamps. I say "so-called." because the best name for these manufac tured devices are ultraviolet lamps, they do not supply all of the rays coming from the sun but only some of them. Understanding of these lamps is important because millions of peo ple, no doubt, use them at sea sons when they are able to get little sunlight or none at all. Prob ably thousands buy new ones every year. There are definite similarities be tween ultraviolet rays produced bv these lamps and those emitted by the sun. Both, when thev reach the skin, result In the production of vitamin D which Is extremely Important In the formation of bone and in other activities of the body. I might add that some appear to use these lamps for cosmetic reasons. Thev like to look brown Indepcudenfe By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent Soyed Ismail El-Azharl, prime minister of the Sudan, has decided that he likes Independence much that he must have it right away. Great Briioin and Egypt, which naa long coiurouea the Sudan agreed on Dec. 3 that its neopl would hold a plebiscite to deter mine their future. But Azharl announced last werk that he intended to proclaim com piete independence Immediately. As the result, the Sudanese Par liamcnt yesterday proclauned the complete independence of the 967, S00 square mile territory and es tablished a republican form of government. There is nothing either Britain or Egypt can do about it, so ap parently a new nation has been born. It is quite a blow to Egypt. One of the chief complaints Egypt had lor years against Brit ain' was that under what - was called a condominium, or joint control arrangement, Britain ac tuaiiy was dominant in the Sudan In 1951, former King Farouk canceled the condominium agree ment and assumed the title of king of the Sudan as well as of Eaypt. But Britain would not consent una Farouk s proclamation did not stick. - Farouk lost his throne in July. 1952. . Britain and the new Egyp tian government agreed that the Sudan should have the right to de termine its own future, subject to a tnree-year transitional period Egypt hsd expected confidently that the Sudanese would agree to unite with it. In fact,, under an agreement which Britain and Egypt signed early this month the Sudan was to hold a plebiscite in which the choice would be complete inde pendence or union with Egypt. Egypt made a big play to sell tne Sudanese on the union plan. Some Americans may remember the photograph, published all over the world, showing Maj. Salah fcalem, Egyptian minister for na tional guidance, dancing with Su-I danese tribesmen in a pair of loudly - colored shorts during a propaganda tour. Azharl himself, when he became Premier early in 1964 as leader of the Sudanese National Unionist Party, was on record as all in fa vor of union. But as has happened in other territories like the Sudan, the granting of a little independence led to the strong desire for more. Dispatches from London and Cairo say that yesterday's action by Azharl and his Parliament is illegal and unconstitutional. But neither Britain nor Egypt seems in position to Interfere. Their troops have left and Azharl is In control. Azhari's dark-skinned, rugged face shows his determined charac ter. Now 53. he was graduated from the American University In Beirut, Lebanon.
