t PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1958 FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor Pnlnful By BILL JENKINS Down at UCLA a follow by the name of Dr. Laurence Morehouse has been putting in his time with a series of elaborate tests to measure the fatigue which dental work causes the dentist. That's just like a researcher, al ways doing work on the people who need it least. His findings, which were re leased recently, claim that dental work hurts the dentist more than it does the patient. This finding also ruins any tiny shred of confidence I might have in rocoarrh ac a WRV of 1ifollnt'lr request. nr means end. Dr. Morehouse says that filling a tooth is a very tiring business for the dentist. Well, I can assure the doctor that it is a very tiring and also painful business for the victim, too. I shall also confess that nothing Is further from my mind when I am strapped in the dental chair than the, physical well being of the dentist. All my sympathies are for me. , And they are not sufficient, at that, to cover the field of human suffering wich occurs to all of us under similar circumstances. I don't know the methods used by the doctor in his researches but the end result has been a feeble paraphrasing of the old re mark always attributed to parents at the time of spanking a child that "this hurts me worse than it does you." No wonder the American peo pie are getting callouses from ly ing on psychiatrists' couches when they have been raised under any such accepted system as to swal low these obvious untruths. To further add to the hardened Inhumanity of the report Dr. Morehouse suggests that things should be made easier for the den tist. He should, says the research er, be furnished with a chair which would place the patient in a semi-reclining position which would allow the dentist lo work itting down. I can assure any dentist that this isn't going to change the situation one bit for me. 1 can be come just . as rigid in a semi-reclining position as I always have in an upright one, and can kick the footrest off Just as easily when the poor, overworked fellow blun ders Into a nerve. (Maybe I just have more nerves in my teeth than most people, but dentists art1 always hitting nerves with me.) All this research was probably sincere and all that but I can tell Dr. Morehouse one thing: his findings are not going to meet with any rousing public acceptance. He will not find himself a storybook hero to the average patient. In fact, if I were he, I would ask a police escort if I planned to be out In public very much. Mobs are always so violent. And this is one case where the minority doesn't have a chance of being the favored underdog. As for me, I'll thank the re searchers to spend a little less time on the unhappy fate of the dentists and a little more alone the line of developing dental toolsi which are not the direct offspring of Torquemada. After all, there are more pa tienls than there are dentists and the majority will always rule In the end. If my dentist happens to read this I hope he will realize that this is all in fun and won't take offense. I'll just make one harmless little suggestion. In the future 1 wish he would sharpen his devilish tools before I got there instead of waiting until I'm in the chair and then doing It under my horrified gaze. I can assure him that is no way to soothe my nerves for the excrutiatlng ordeal I know lies ahead. SHiool Opi-uing By FLOYD L. WYNNE I realize it is sometimes dan gerous to wonder aloud about some things, but here goes any way. I was very Interesled in the recent petition presented to the KUHS School Board by some 250 citizens and taxpayers requesting a change In the' beginning of the school year. It is apparent that at least 250 parents considered the matter of enough Importance to not only sign the petition but make cer tain it was presented by re sponsible group at the regular board meeting. They pointed out. In their pe tition, that the early fall starling date cuts the vacation period short week in the season when Uie Intend u econd clua duller at Uie post office at Hunt, FalU, Ore., oo August M, IMS, under act of Coogres. March I. lm) SERVICES! ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Servinf Southern Oregon And Northern California weather is still conducive to va cationing, and it would extend the school season another week into June when the weather is acting up anyway. They also pointed out something else quite important in that the State Fair alls in the early fall and students now have to be ex cused to take part in it. There were a number of other points made by the group which seem valid enough to request con sideration of the move. I was interested, .particularly, in the reception which the group received, and the action taken on Certainly there is no one who wishes to put (lie school year at the whim or fancy of anyone to be changed from year to year as suits the need. The persons signing the petition were level-headed cit izens who have been studying the problem for some time. Their rea soning appears to be good. The board has not acted on their request as yet, and I'm satisfied that they are giving it consider ation. After all, the board mem bers are elected by the people to serve the people's needs on the board. That's a point elected officials should never forget wheth er it be a school board, a city council, a county court or a high er level. , Their first consideration is to serve the interests of the people as a whole, their second consid eration is to the employes of the organization or government which they run. 1 can agree with Mrs. Sheridan's opinion that whatever date is agreed upon, it should be the same as for the county, but cer tainly the measure should not be just dismissed offhand or declared impossible because it interfered with the teachers or with their in-service training. I have the utmost respect and regard for the teachers, and frank ly believe that virtually any price necessary for good teachers is money well spent, but permitting them to govern when schools should or should nc1. be opened, would be much the same as a business owner permitting his em ployes to tell him what time they plan lo come to work and what days they plan to work. The excuse that the school open ing should be continued as Sep tember 2 on the grounds that it would extend the summer recess another week does not seem very substantial. It's my earnest hope that the school boards In question will give complete consideration to this re quest. I don't have children in school as yet, and am not taking sides for or against the move. I am interested because the trend nationwide on almost I all levels of taxpayer government appears lo be that of soaking the taxpayer for the cost of the gov ernmental operation, but running the organization or government for the employes rather than for the guy who's footing the bill Two hundred and fifty taxpay ers have made a request of the KU1IS School Board. I know that if It were the city council, they wouw be given some very, very serious consideration. 1"V II 111 if Oil By GEORGE J. MARDER (United Press) Storm signals are up along the Potomac for a big blowup at the Pentagon. That's by way of saying a rug ged squabble is shaping up over defense reorganizations. Before it's over, President Kisen hower may have to knock some Pogo poo m mak6 A L rjr A ..u K t 1 r MOW TorJPPa3$ASI cat r . -ftu&WK Mcsf IIT4 HOUSI.MAWCUT heads together. There are strong-willed men with strong feelings on both sides of the question, whether or not to have a top-to-bottom shakeup in the de fense setup. They won't yield easi ly, they feel the security of the United States is at stake. Much of the fuss centers around the joint chiefs of staff and the dual roles they have at the Pen tagon. Let's get something straight at the outset, the joint chiefs do wear two hats. ' By law, they are planners as well as doers. Together, as a group, they make the war plans for the United States. Individually, as the highest rank ing command officer in their sep arate services, they carry out those war plans. One side argues that's bad. That the joint chiefs can't do both jobs well. Not enough time, energy, and so forth. But the real complaint boils down to this: In their plan ning job, the joint chiefs are, by law, the major military advisers to the President and the secretary of defense. The President and the secretary, it's argued, are entitled to military advice unclouded by pride in, or belief in, or affected by any point of view favoring one of the three separate military serv ices. It's impossible for the chiefs to divorce themselves from their own service's point of view to take an overall look at defense needs and advise the President and de fense secretary impartially. And so one recommendation is to separate the planning and com mand jobs. To have those who do the planning and advise the Pres ident and the defense secretary, represent no individual service, in fact be separated from any serv ice branch, perhaps even wear the same uniform. Out of this kind of setup would come, it's argued, more forthright decisions, fewer compromises, less rivalry between the services. The other side to this argument, in effect, says bosh, you can't sep arate completely the planning and command jobs, the ones who do the fighting must be in on the planning, the military advice ulti mately must come from the fight ing services, and separating the two jobs would merely put another bit of unwieldy machinery in the Pentagon and drive a further wedge between the command offi cers and their civilian superiors This idea that the joint chiefs don't make decisions which might hurt their Individual services just does not hold, they can and do, the effect of separation would be not to end rivalry but to stifle points of view. A second major squabble con corns the lack of unified command at the Pentagon. In major theaters of operation, there is unified com mand, a single officer, whether he is Navy. Air Force or Armv, Is in charge of all operations within that area. There are those who say unified command at the top in the Penta gon is even more important, they would make the chairman of the joint chiefs, or someone like him, the top commander of all service operations. At present, the chair man of the joint chiefs can't even vote when he meets with his col leagues. A single commander, or even a single group which would command all three services jointly, is (he dread of those on the other side They warn It would concentrate loo much power in the hands of a military man. open the country to the dangers of military dictator ship, be a direct copy of the Prus sian military system. tnjr seaus pony want a cicup cp ice eus-sTiNS our rue poos to 5(?ebt mm AT NISWT.

THE if r 2 r " rr w SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER MONTH C MONTHS , I YEAR , For Women By MARY PRIME United Press It's getting so you can't even send a valentine these days, with out revealing the horrible truth about your personality. American women sent 360-mil lion valentines this year. And ac cording to a leading author-psy chologist, the cards often masked hostility, selfishness, cynicism and fear. we used to favor the poetic, lace-paper type card. Now we go for the sassy, insulting type, If you send or receive the latter type, take note. Dr. Albert Ellis says you may learn some thing about yourself, the sender, and how you feel about each olh er. "Unconscious hostility o f t e comes out in humorous cards, says Ellis. "Anonymous cards also show hostility, especially if the card is a nasty one. But people do choose humorous cards be cause they have a good sense of humor." He says cards also show what we would like people to be. If a man sends a sentimental card, he may wish his lady-friend were more that way. When a woman chooses a sentimental card, it's usually a projection of herself. If you are obviously the hu morous type and you receive a mushy card, chances are the send er is selfish because, says Dr. El lis, "the more self-centered a per son is, the more he assumes the other person is like him." Ellis feels a swing to the flip type of greeting may mean we're more realistic as a nation, more cynical. Or it may mean we're ashamed to show tenderness, or our true feelings. Ellis says we send valentines for three reasons: "We're absorbed in the other person , . . it's the thing to do ... or we're afraid not to because the other person will miss the greeting and we'll be in the soup." Nothing boosts a woman's sag ging ego more than a permanent wave, a touch of lipstick, rouge or eyebrow pencil, or a new dress. And Albert Shapiro, prison superintendent at the Detroit House of Correction, is an understanding man. He has rescinded a long tune ban on eyebrow pencils and plans to allow the 425 women inmates to use rouge. Until now, the women prison crs have been prohibited from us ing any cosmetics other than lipstick. Shapiro, once a tough cop on the Detroit force, has still an other idea to keep the women's spirits up. A four-member agen cy has ordered print dresses for the women which may arrive in time for Easter. Here are some statistics from the U.S. Labor Department for all those who doubt the power of womanpower. A study, called Spotlight on Women in the U.S. shows 22 million females working. lo make up one third of the la bor force. Six million hold jobs as secretaries, stenographers and typists or in other clerical work Next largest group, about three million, are factory workers. The report credits women with castine nan the votes in the last presi dential election. Women slightly outnumber men as stockholders, although men own a majority of shares. The phrase "drip dry" crops up as often as the word "chemise" in fashion showrooms these davs. And apparently some well-to-do customers want a dress to drio dry even thouch thev can nffm-d to wear It once and throw it away. A David Crystal salesman tolls this story: He was In the custom salon of I. Magnin. a classy San Francisco shop, when a woman came in to ask the price of a ny lon and cotton party dress dis played there. Said a salesgirl. "$2H5." Asked (lie customer, "will it drip dry?"

Wi Dr. Carlos Prio Socarras, who marched to his jail cell .to the strains of the Cuban national anthem, stayed there Saturday to share the impris onment of fellow defendants un able to bail themselves out. The exiled former president of Cuba is able to post the $3,000 bond set for him on an indict ment charging him with plotting in this country against the regime of President Fulgencio Batista. Co-defendants Enrique Henri quez and Juan Orta couldn't raise the money, however. So Prio and Daniel Vasquez y Coejo, a fourth Miami defendant, decided to stay in jail until their friends can post bond. Though financially able, Prio will not make bond for the others because the indictment charges him with aiding fellow Cubans in the anti-Batista movement. Prio and his three companions walked five blocks to Dade Coun ty's skyscraper courthouse from the Federal Building where they surrendered. Pushing, jostling Cubans formed a singing, shouting escort for the handcuffed Prio and his fellows. They sang the Cuban, national an them and cried "viva Prio. viva Cuba," as they moved through the streets. Later, Jose Aleman, owner of .Miami Stadium and a Cuban citi zen, led a delegation of exiles to the Miami Herald to protest Prio's handculled March to jail "like a criminal." "He's still our last democratic president," Aleman said. "It was an affront to the Cuban people. He is a respectable man." The indictments asainst Prio and others were returned Thurs day in New York City. Charges iiiciuue violating u.s. neutrality and plotting sabotage and assas sination against the Batista gov ernment. Specific accusations include shipping arms- and men to sup port Cuban rebels and seeking to establish rebel training centers in, me unuea oiaies, me Dominican Republic, Mexico and Haiti. Hillary Saves Arctic Group McMURDO SOUND. Antarctica (UP I New Zealand explorer Sir Edmund Hillary has led the Brit ish trans-Antarctic' expedition on a 50-mile trek through a blind ing "whiteout," radio reports from the expedition said Saturday. With a rope tied to his waist and using an ice-axe the conquer or of Mt. Everest probed for dan gerous crevasses ahead of the four snow vehicles carrying ex pedition leader Dr. Vivian Fuchs and his party. The team radioed it crawled 30 miles over the Antarctic waste in a complete "whiteout" an at mospheric condition that merges ground and sky in a murky white haze and causes explorers to lose all perspective. The report said the weather cleared somewhat on the last 20 miles before the group stopped to camp. Fuchs' party hoped to push on Saturday to within 480 miles of his Soul at Scott Base, on the oppo site side of the continent from its tarting point. Germans Get Russ Prizes CAMP FRIEDLAN'D. Germany ffi The Russians valued the work of captured German scientists so highly that one group was award ed a Malm prize, a returned sci entist said. Dr. Wilhelm Fischer said last night he was a member of a mixed Russian-German group of eight experts that received the prize in 1953. It carried a cash payment of equal to $4,000 each. Fischer said his group worked on electronic problems but he did not know the ultimate aim of the fork, other scientists who came oine this week after 12 vears in Russia said they worked on -electronic remote control svrtoms for missiles. They had been idle for the last two years. NO JOY IN SOY KAGOSHIMA, Japan (UP) A lelegation of plump, healthy and d-tip Husbands pleaded with a overnment food expert today to :iy on tne soy beans.

Wl Three men seeking to rescue a fourth en tombed by a snowslide were swal lowed up by a second slide Fri day and presumed dead. The threat of further slides im periled would-be rescuers who worked in snow, rock and shorn timber 60 feet deep in zero tem peratures. Sheriff Bud Slott of Ouray Coun ty said of the victims, "It would be impossible for any of them to be alive." Oscar Franz, a county commis sioner, said the last hope for the four vanished when searchers dug IS feet to reach a bulldozer on which three of the missing men were standing when the second slide struck. It was hoped they miht have crawled beneath the vehicle and gained safety in an air pocket. But none was there. The four are Ted Mason. 42. Walt Smith. 45. Danny Gerrell. 27. and Mike Muransky, 40, all of Ouray, bach was married and had children. Mason had six, Muran sky two. Smith and Gerrell one each. Mason was engulfed Friday morning by Uie first of the two slides, which acted as -giant pincers, coming from opposite directions. About 4'4 hours elapsed between them. Mason and Harry Peck were fol lowing a mining road to the Camp Bird metal Mine four miles south of here when the first white wave struck from the east side of the canyon. Peck escaped, and hur ried to the mine two miles away to summon help. The three later victims re sponded. They were working with the bulldozer when the second slide struck from directly above them, along the west side of the canyon wall. Joe Martinez, 70, witnessed the second slide. From about 10 yards away, he said he yelled to the three men lo run. His pleas were drowned by the rising thunder of the white mass. Martinez said the concussion of the slide hurled him 100 feet up the hill and landed him, unhurt, in a snowbank. The slide spanned a distance of about three-quarters of a mile, ana virtually filled the canyon. Nickel Bid Made For Ellis Island NEW YORK i.Ti-Offers ranging five cents to $201,000 have been made for Ellis Island, where mil lions of immigrants first stepped onto American soil. The Immigration Service pulled out of the 27-acre island in New York harbor in 1954. Sealed bids for it were opened yesterday. The man who bid 5 cents said he wanted to build a house on the island "and watch the ships pass by," while the highest bidder wanted to turn it into a real es tate development. The General Services Adminis tration said it would not announce acceptance or rejection of the bids for 60 days. HOT CREEK COLD SACRAMENTO.

Four other men trapped in the smouldering ruins were feared dead. Rescuers dug frantically during the early morning hours for some trace of the four men, who were at the third story level when the floor caved in. Ten firemen were injured but not seriously battling the blaze in a paper and twine factory located at 137 Wooster Street in downtown Manhattan. The five-alarm blaze raged for several hours before it was brought under control. Dug out of the debris Friday night were firemen Bernard Blu- menthal of Brooklyn, a husband of tnree weeks, and William G. Schmitt of Staten Island. Schmitt already was dead and Blumenthal died at a hospital. Seven workers in the building wnen tne tire was discovered es caped unharmed. The missing men were mem bers of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters.

Fire Commissioner Edward F. Cavanagh Jr. said a hundred men would work at the scene around the clock to find the missing men. After the fire started there was an explosion. A fire official said the fire started on the fifth floor by a careless smoker. Ukiali Plant Closes Doors UKIAH. Calif.
