Viewing the problem somewhat facetiously, more than one wag may comment, "The Reds are putting on the dog these days." Big Day? By BILL JENKINS The eyes of the world are (rained today on what may or may not happen in connection with Sputnik and the race to gain control of the skies. Triggered by the advent of the 40th anniversary of the Soviet Re bellion the Reds may be up to something In the way of showing the world where they stand both scientifically and militarily. Just what moves might be made wo don't know. It is highly un likely that today will be the one to go down in history as D-Day of World War Three. But it will, without any overt action on the part of the Soviet leaders, certainly go down as the great day of worry and fear. Wor ry over what might come in the future and fear of the, unknown. Nothing is so terrifying as the un known. And if the leadors of our country and every other country too, had deliberately set out to confuse and frighten the public they couldn't have done a better job. We, and other nations as well, have plugged any security leaks with a great wad of black fear. That's what makes this business of Russian satellites so confusing. Lack of knowledge. We don't know if they are merely harmless mis siles sent up to garner informa tion or if they are the forerun ners of a missile shower that will wipe out civilization as we know it today. In view ot all this I think it high time we took a close look at our actions, attitudes and inten tions for the near future. I cer tainly speak as no expert and voice only the opinions ol one in. (Cartoon by Bill Finch) up by Jay Beach. Beach had a horse he called Altamont which could outrun anything on the West Coast. The story goes that after Bench moved to Vancouver to make his home, Klamath Basin residents used to go up there to see the horse, The homestead, .which ran from what is now Altamont Drive east to Summers Lane and about a half-mile south, was purchased and expanded to some thousand acres by G. W. Smith who be came a Klamath County judge. He was the father of the late Rich ard Shore Smith who became All- American in addition to many oth er achievements. Those were the days of the "tied horse." In a corral on every ranch, one horse was kept in read iness fur immediate use because the horse was the means of trans portation and, aside from walk ing, llio only means. Come illness in the family, or an accident, you jumped on your horse and raced lor town. If you lived far. vou could stop at the Frank Adams ranch to pick up a fresh mount. then on to the Stukel ranch, the Henley ranch, tile Smith ranch, and into town. 'I he doctor followed you home. Tin? size of the cloud of dust that rose in the valley indicated the degree of urgency of the call. Time went on and the Altamont ranch properly passed on to Asa Fordycc. China pheasants were brought In and men of the Basin used to hunt them along what was to become Altamont Drive. Ducks and geese came in flights to hunters waiting just be low what is now the 3200 block on South Sixth Street. Eventually Fred Gariih took over the property and put up a Country branch of The United States National Bank of Portland opens its doors as the 14th busi ness concern established on what was, such a relatively short time ago, the pasture of the horse, Altamont. .lll.ticiln tin Ullilt n ttt il.H.a d i fi m l j l. ,, V pavilion which was used for com- r..i . u ""u..u,:" inunily Fourth ot J little toughening up if we are to survive. This move from the realms of the earth to outer space may be good and it may lead to bloodshed and death. Since we don't know it would be well to prepare for whatever may come. So, I'd say it would be a good idea if we would stop worrying about three cars in every garage, a four day week and retirement at SO for a little while and do a little mental belt tightening until we find out if we are going to have roads to drive those cars on, uly celcbra- lions ot that day.

On Saturday, the Town and Undorwoar King By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK ( Horace A. Carter never wanted to be Presi dent of the United States. All he ever wanted to do was sell underwear to the Presidents and the people who voted for and against them. At 88 Carter, durable as a hick ory fence post, is the dean and kingpin of the nation's prospering underwear industry. He is presi dent and treasurer of the William Carter Co., which this year expects to do a record $33,000,000 business. "We have outfitted most of the Presidents since Theodore Roose velt," recalled Carter, who still gets up at dawn as did his father, William, who landed here from England lust 100 years ago with about $2.30 in his pocket. President lalt was so large that we had to make special gar ments for him. Calvin Coolidge took considerable pride in his underwear. He wore anklc-and waist length one piece union suits made of silk and wool the same style the year around. unce, when i visited mm in the White House, he told me, 'I always have Grace wash them herself. Sometimes Coolidge, a personal friend of Carter and a man who placed a high value on a dollar, would accept gifts of underwear. But once he wrote on White House stationery: Now, Wool and labor are cheap I will pay this time, so send me the bill." At another time he told Carter "I tell you, Horace, underwear is not a necessity. Underwear is a luxury. My father never wore undershirts and underdrawers and I never wore them until I was 21." The underwear firm was found ed by William Carter, who as a boy had knitted hosiery for the Prince of Wales, in the family kitchen in Wcsl Needham, Mass., in 1863. At 16 Horace entered the firm and worked a 60-hour week 'In addition I had to milk two cows, and feed the horses, swine and chickens, he recalled. "In my spare time I took correspond ence courses. "It didn't hurt me. Responsibil ity and work wouldn't hurt any of today s children either. In his youth the big item in underwear was the famous "lone- johns," a full-length drop-seat model made of red flannel or oatmeal-colored fabric. The greatest business now is in children's and infant underwear, which Carter helped pioneer. With a population of 204.620.000 expected by 1967," Carter said cheerfully, "business ought to con tinue to boom. One item popular with elderly ladies the belly warmer, wool wraparound worn about the midriff was discontinued only three years ago. But the "belly trimmer, a knit girdle-type gar ment to slim down the silhouette. is still in high favor with middle aged pot-shaped men. Carter first won personal renown in the industry with an ad around 1902 showing a husband and wife, clad in long underwear and shak ing hands under the caption: "In union there is strength. "It was a bit daring for thai day," he chuckled. A rugged individualist who still keeps a firm hand in the business and travels thousands of miles each year, Carter has a simple New England philosophy. "The Almighty's been with me." he said. "I try to enjoy what's good, to live frugally and moder ately, to keep interested in every- ining and everybody. lhroughout his life Carter has had no hobby, except the occasion- al writing of poetry. 1 gave that up around the sec ond world war." he said, his old eyes twinkling, for fear neode might think I was eccentric." Atomic Secrecy By Congressional Quarterly WASHINGTON Preceded by Russia's "Sputnik" and his own Queen Elizabeth, Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan arrived in Washington to the rousing cry of "scientific cooperation" on all sides. The British. French and other American allies have been talk ing about the need for greater cooperation in scientmc and mili tary spheres for some time. Now, with visible evidence circling over head of Soviet strides in research and development, the United States Is itself examining the possibility of increased cooperation with its inends. President Eisenhower, toasting the Queen October 17, declared that "our scientists must work together." The administration is reported to be readying a compre hensive plan for greater inter-al lied cooperation that could call lor new legislation. This may involve changes in the Atomic Energy Act of 1934, which bars the U.S. from giving to its allies either nuclear weapons or any miormation relating to the design or fabrication of atomic weapons." Secretary of State Dul les suggested October 16 that these restrictions may have become ob solete. At the time Congress rewrote tne Atomic Energy Act in 1954. two members of the Joint Atomic Energy . Committee Democratic Reps. Chet Holifield (Cal.) and Melvin Price (111.) objected that a tight rein on the exchange of atomic military information ulti mately may work to our own dis advantage." They pointed out that British, who developed the jet en gine, might como up with some thing equally important in the nu clear weapons field but "be de barred from working with us on it because of our own shortsighted ano nonrcciprocal policies. Rep. Sterling Cole (R N.Y.), then chairman of the Joint Committee, admitted that Holifield and Price might be right. But, he argued "if we are going to make a mis take, it is better to err on the side of caution and discretion, rattier than to make a mistake by being unduly generous." Congress, wary of treachery in the form of anoth er Maus Fuchs or Alan Nunn May, agreed with Cole. It is by no means clear, however, to what extent the 1954 law has prevented, or now bars, more ex tensive scientific,, cooperation be tween me unuea slates and its allies. That law made a- specific exception, for example, of infor mation about systems employed in me delivery or use of nuclear weapons, 'there is thus no flat le. gal ban on exchanging informa tion with the British, say, in the guided missile field, now the ob ject of efforts as intense as those devoted to making the first atomic Domo. But there is no doubt that the 1934 law stands in the way of re sumption of anything like the de gree oi cooperation between t h e United States. Britain and Canada which prevailed during World War II. President Roosevelt and Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and MacKenzie King were uninhibited by law in their decisions to coordi nate research on the atomic bomb. On August 6, 1945, the day Hiro shima was obliterated. Churchill called this joint undertaking happy augury for our future re lations." And he added: "By God's mercy, British and American sci ence outpaced all German efforts." Pogo V.fU. s?u uutzgy PACK, I I suge YOU ASP ITBI?

W Eight members of the House Interior Committee charged Thursday that the legislative reference section of the Library of Congress has been misused "to convey to the nation a distorted, biased and one sided picture of federal reclamation." The representatives are attend ing the annual convention of the National Reclamation Assn. They asked for a "a factual report on federal reclamation not a case either against or for." They made public a letter to Dr. Ernest S. Griffith, director of the service, in which they said they referred to "your recent nine part report on the Adverse Ef fects of Expanding Government" and the printing of a condensed version thereof in the Nation s Business. "In particular, we are referring to the part entitled 'The Case Against Federal Reclamation', al though our general comments could apply to all parts." In other convention business. delegates ratified the selection of L. E. Coles, Prineville. Ore., as director for Oregon and L o r i n Markham, Spokane, as director for Washington state for 1957-38. The article in Nation s Business, which is a publication of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, has been under at tack here most of this week at meetings of the NRA's board of directors and in conversations among delegates. Dr. Griffith informed the NRA- last June that the article was pre pared at the specific request of I Rep. Ralph W. Gwinn (R-NY),I who was later joined by 16 other congressmen. He said the request was for data, along with opinions and arguments of authorities and commentators, as to the adverse effects of governmental activity on the operation of the private enterprise economy and the fed eral system. The protest letter made public Thursday was signed by Chair man Engle (D-Calif) of the House Interior Committee: Chairman As- pinall (D-Colo) of the Irrigation and Reclamation subcommittee: Rep. A. L. Miller (R-Neb), rank ing Republican member: and Reps. Dawson (R-Utah), Udall (D-Ariz), Chenoweth (R-Colo), Rhodes (R-Ariz) and Delegate Burns (D-Hawaii). The convention devoted its morning session Thursday to tech nical discussions of reclamation canal problems and heard a plea from Chet Langslet, Klamath Falls. Ore., that it lend its sup port to an effort to clarify a 50-year-old dispute between the Rec lamation Bureau and the Fish and Wildlife Service over use of lands in the Upper Klamath River basin.
