In The-
Day's News

A look at the future:
A top American scientist calls
this week for federal scholarships
to provide the United States with
future scientists. He is Dr. I. I.
Rabi, chairman of President Ei
senhower's scientific advisory com
mittee. He thinks the U.S. must meet
the new Russian challenge in the
field of science and he thinks the
best way to do so is to insure
that American youths starting col
lege are equipped with the essen
tial mathematical tools.
He says the federal government
should award a $500 scholarship
to every high school senior who
passes a properly devised federal
mathematics test and 'he would
award a $500 scholarship to every
college student who passes a fed
eral test in calculus (top brack
et mathematics) at the end of
his freshman year.
As a top scientist, Dr. Rabi
knows that mathematics is the
handmaiden of science,
'what is Russia doing? '
The U.S. office of education says
a two-year study of the Russian
educational system shows that
more than half of a Russian stu
dent's first ten years in school is
devoted to science subjects.
The study reveals that during
this first decade of their education
Russian students are required to
take 10 years of mathematics
five of physics (physics is that
branch of knowledge treating of
the material world and its phe
nomena), five years of biology
four, years of chemistry and one
year of astronomy.
: That provides a pretty good sci
entific loundation.
What do OUR students take?
Well, whatever else they take,
they SHY AWAY FROM MATH-.
(Most of 'them, that is.)
This much is certain: '
The world of the future will be
increasingly a technological world
(technology is industrial science:
systematic knowledge of the indus
trial arts.)
Someone will ask:
"Do you mean SPACE TRAV
EL?" I wouldn't know. Somehow I
doubt it. It seems to me that
space travel is more rewarding
as something to TALK ABOUT
rather than as something to DO.
But ' , .
The world of the future, which
will be increasingly a technological
world, must include such things
as:
Physical changes in the struc
ture of the atom, resulting in new
raw materials, new products, new
kinds of power.
New processes, foreshadowed by
automation.
New machines, foreshadowed by
electronic brains.
, And so on.
NATO Naval
Chief Seeks
Atomic Subs
PARIS wt NATO's naval com
mander, U. S. Adm. H e r a u 1 d
Wright, "urged Wednesday that
U. S. nuclear secrecy be modified
to help equip all NATO navies
with atomic submarines.
The admiral told the Atlantic
Alliance's advisory Parliamen
tary Assembly arming the navies
with A-subs should be given top
priority.
He added that NATO countries
could equip themselves without
receiving U. S. -built subs if the
U. S. Congress would amend the
McMahon act to make more nu
clear know-how available.
Wright told a closed session of
the Assembly that the Soviet Un
ion s submarine fleet is three
times as big as that of the United
States and all its allies combined.
The Russians are known to have
about 500 submarines and the
number is increasing by 75 to 100
a year.
The mission of allied subma
rines would be to try to knock out
Soviet subs if there is a war,
Wright said.
The admiral was the last of
NATO's top military men to brief
170 congressmen and parliament
members from the 15 NATO
countries, assembled for their
third annual conference.
George Brown, defense expert
in the British Labor Party's
"shadow cabinet." told the As
sembly that NATO members
should remodel their armies in the
pentomic structure used by the
United States.
U. S. Sen. Green (D-RI), chair
man of the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee, told an Ameri
can Club luncheon that all the
Western powers could pay more
for defense and probably would
have to.

Court Denies
Anderson Plea
SALEM lP) The Oregon Su
preme Court ruled Wednesday
that James Quinton Anderson,
Klamath County, must remain in
prison for a murder committed
on the Klamath Indian Reserva
tion. In denying Anderson's writ of
habeas corpus, the high court
ruled that the slate has power to
prosecute major crimes commit
ted on the reservation. This power
was turned over to the state by
Fmt federal government.
"' Anderson based his case on a
contention that transferring this
power was unconstitutional.
The decision, by Justice Randall
Kcstcr, upheld Circuit Judge
David R. Vandenberg of Klamath
Falls.
Adlai Takes
Adviser Role
WASHINGTON Wl Adlai Ste
venson held out the possibility to
day he may accompany President
Eisenhower to a Paris meeting
next month designed to increase
Allied cooperation.
From a haze of confusion, the
role of the Democrat whom Eisen
hower twice defeated for the pres
idency emerged as that of ad
viserand possibly a participant
in proposals Eisenhower and
Secretary of State Dulles will pre
sent to a North Atlantic Treaty
meeting of heads of state in Paris
Dec. 16.
An error by James C. Hagerty,
White House press secretary,
brought on the uncertainty which
both Hagerty and Stevenson later
sought to clarify.
Stevenson said he had informed
Dul'-es a week ago that "while I
could not undertake to formulate
the President's policies, 1 would
gladly review and discuss our
government's proposals before
they were put into linal shape."
Hagerty said Stevenson "will be
kept informed of the developing
program and will, we hope, dis
cuss the items in the program
with the administration before
they are finalized."
In a bid for bipartisan support.
Stevenson reportedly had been of
fered ak first a key position in
both formulating and presenting
United States proposals to
strengthen NATO against Rus
sia's growing missile strength.
LeMay Off
On Second
Record Try
By VERN 1IAUGLAND
ABOARD KC 135 Iff! This
huge jet tanker-transport streaked
over the Equator about 9:45 a. m.
EST Wednesday, just over five
hours out of Buenos Aires on the
way to a possible inter-American
record.
With Gen. Curtis LeMay in com
mand and most of the lime at the
controls, the Boeing plane set a
jet distance record Tuesday on
the soutbound run of more than
6,300 miles from Westover Air
Force Base, in 13 hours and 2 min
utes.
LeMay, vice chief of staff of the
U. S. Air Force, lifted the four
jet plane off the Ezeica Airfield
runway about 4:28 a. m. EST. His
goal was National Airport at
Washington on a nearly straight
course of 5,204 statute miles.
Aboard were 22 crewmen and pas-
sengers.
It was a takeoff to sweat out.
There were only 8.300 feet and we
were loaded to 235,000 pounds. It
seemed we used about all the run
way there was.
We asked Gen. LeMay about the
takeoff and he said there appar
ently was a lull in the wind at
the far end of the runway and
the takeoff run had been a bit
longer than expected. ,
"It's amazing how you can fig
ure out the runway length almost
to the pound of fuel," he said.
One hour after takeoff LeMay
relinquished the controls to Capt.
Charles L. Gandy and came back
to check with the passengers. He
confided he had taken on a goodly
supply of this noon's Buenos Aires
newspapers and planned to nave
them distributed to the White
House, the Pentagon, the Argen
tina Embassy and the Press Club.
Tax Office Plans
To Remain Open
For the convenience of persons
who have pay days on Novem
ber 15, and who wish to pay their
tax statements on that day to
qualify for the discount, the Klam
ath County tax collector's oflice
in the courthouse will be open
until 8 o'clock Friday night.
The announcement is made by
Klamath County tax collector,
Murray (Red) Britton, who adds
that the tax payment discounts
will not be applicable following No
vember 15.
Freight Rate
Fight Flares
SALEM Wl Washington and
Oregon governors scheduled
meeting Wednesday to plan
fight against freight rates they
consider discriminatory against
the Tacit ic Northwest.
The afternoon meeting of Gov
Albert Roscllini of Washington and
Gov. Robert D. Holmes of Oregon
was set up after Holmes said he
learned in a recent series of hear
ings that freight rales were hold
ing back economic development of
this region.
"Gov. Roscllini and I hope
through this conference to initiate
joint action before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and if
necessary, in the federal courts
to secure the removal of discrimi
nations against the West which
have giown up during the past 10
years through percentage freight
rale increases applied across the
board b the ICC. said Holmes.
He added, "Elimination of the
very unfair percentage increases
which compound the discrimina
tion against our agriculture and
manufacturing should be a great
boon to our economic and indus
trial development."
Dewayne Kracger, head of the
Washington Economic Develop
ment Department, and a staff
member of the Washington Public
Service Commission, were ex
pected wilh Roscllini. Howard
Morgan, Oregon public utilities
commissioner, and Julius Jensen,
director of the Department of
Planning and Development, were
to be with Holmes.

Eisenhower
To Outline
Science Plan
THE RAINS came Tuesday night and Wednesday morning at the Klamath County Jail,
and Sheriff Murray (Red) BriHon wat busy all morning directing ther 55 prisoners to
drier quarters in the jail building. The water leaked throughout the building in sizable
quantities due to the roof being largely removed during the current- construction work
which will add a third story to -the building. In addition to the water, large quantities
of steam dampened the interior of the building due to the water dripping on hot pipes.
"The bedding is wet and the jail is unhealthily damp," Britton said, "and I won't keep the
prisoners under conditions like these." The sheriff said he was arranging bus transporta
tion, and that if the rains didn't cease by early afternoon he would have the prisoners
transported to the Multnomah County Jail at Rocky Butte. This picture was taken while
prisoners were moving their bedding out of the main tank.

ROSEBURG Wl The family
that started to sell pieces of a
federal highway in Oregon found
itself in new trouble Wednesday.
A warrant was out for the arrest
of Robert G. Slumbo, asserting he
had failed to have a subdivision
acknowledged and recorded before
ottering it for sale.
The subdivision was of two-inch
square plots ol a Hi-loot strip
across Highway 99 near here. The
Stumbo clan said they owned it.
They did, too. The stale some

though. They tiled a claim for
$2.iO.IIIIO, asserting that was what
they lost when the stale stopped
their sales. They said they had
118.0110 lots platted for sale at $2
each.
The Southern Oregon Douglas
County Highway Assn. says it can
stop the Stumbos on that. James
Daugherty. association president,
said 118,000 charges can be
brought, and since the minimum
line on that charge is $.10, the
total could run to $5,900,000.
Just one $50 charge, however,
is in front of Stumbo at present.
WASHINGTON Wl President
Eisenhower left by plane Wednes
day for Oklahoma Cily, from
where he will outline to the nation
Wednesday night a plan for train
ing -more U. S. youths as scientists.
His plane Columbine III took off
from National Airport shortly aft
er noon on the approximately 4V
hour flight to Oklahoma City.
Eisenhower, hatless and wear
ing a charcoal gray suit, was ac
companied only by members of
his staff. He plans to fly back to
Washington early Thursday.
Some key scientific advisers to
the President reportedly have sug
gested to him that the federal
government grant scholarships to
promising students as an incen
tive. But the White House de
clined advance discussion of what
Eisenhower wjll recommend.
For tonight's coast-to-eoast television-radio
address, the second in
a "chins up" series, the President
travels by plane to Oklahoma
City.
The speech will be carried live
at 10:30 p. m. EST, by NBC-TV
and all four major radio net
works. ABC and CBS television
will carry the address from film
at 11:15 p. ni.
Eisenhower will speak at Mu
nicipal Auditorium in connection
with Oklahoma's "Arrows to
Atoms" 50th anniversary of state
hood. He plans to start back to
Washington by plane immediately
after the speech.
The President's drive to over
take and surpass Russia in devel
opment of missiles and other
weapons of the future started for
mally last Thursday night. In
nationwide TV address then he
named James R. Killian, presi
dent of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, as a special assistant
to coordinate the drive.
He also set forth several other
steps in a program of immediate
action designed to put Ihe United
States ahead of the Soviet Union
At the same time he mentioned
briefly certain long-range require
ments which he said he would dis
cuss in more detail tonight.
In his talk Jo si week he, said:
"Acbrlltig .to .-.my, scientific
friends, one of our greatest, and
the most glaring, deficiencies is
the failure of us in this country
to give high enough priority to
scientific education and to the
place of science in our national
life."
GOP Offers
Concession
On Tax Cut
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr. '
SALEM Wl Republicans made
a flat offer Wednesday to reduce
their demand for a 30 per cent
income tax reduction to 25 per
cent.
The offer was made at a meet
ing of the Legislature's Senate
House Conference Committee.
The Democratic members of the
committee said they would take
it to a Democratic caucus to see
if that party wants - to , recede
from its 15 per cent reduction
proposal. ;
Both parties now agree that
business should get some income
tax benefits by adopting loss:
carryover and accelerated depre
ciation. These are in addition to.
the percentage cuts in the per-''
sonal income tax. :
The Republicans proposed that;
Ihe 25 per cent reduction be ac
complished by reducing the tax
in each bracket, instead ot mak
ing a flat percentage reduction,'
as proposed by the Democrats.
The Republicans first came up
wilh the 25 per cent offer at a
caucus Tuesday, provided that
House members of the conference
committee be given a free hand
to reach a decision. - ,
On Wednesday, however, the
Republicans dropped this provi
sion, and made a firm offer. -
Speaker Pat Doolcy (D). Port
land, called the first 25 per cent
proposed a "phoney."
Reps. Clarence Barton (Dl, of
Coquillc, and Guy Jonas (D), of
Salem, House members of the
conference committee which is
seeking a compromise, said they
would not even ask the Democrats
for free power to negotiate.
Rarton added, however, that the
"new Republican otter does show
there's nothing sacred and holy
about 30 per cent."
Dooley said he feels that the
Republican television program
Tuesday night, in which the Re
publicans answered Gov. Holme
arguments for a 15 per cent cut,
makes a settlement more remote
than ever.
However, there Is a ray of hope
in the fact that several Senate
