WYNNE The Council-Manager plan for the city of Klamath Kails re ceived a thorough working over at the recent League of Women Voters panel held in the Klamath County Library and the plan came through with flying colors. Three league women did consid' erable research to be able to bring up the opposing arguments to the plan. I think it well to re view some of their opposition and the answers that were given by the three male memborj of the panel. Mrs. Dorothy Alward pointed out that the charter amendment did not .specify the salary a city mail' age would receive. She also won dered since the city owned few public utilities just why a mana gcr was needed. She also que tioned that the amendment did not specify that he must make all purchases locally. She also said that since the manager made up the budget what would prevent him from doing whatever he wanted to do in the way of spend' ing. In answer to these arguments, It was pointed out that the conn cil did not know what it would have to pay for a manager. This writer, as a councilman, pointed out that the National Mu nicipal League outlined the aver age salary for a city manager in Cities of 10,000 to 25,000 as $8,725. Councilman Walter Fleet stated that in cities where they owned such public utilities as water, buses and the like, they had a full time manager for each of the utilities, and in many cases ,thc utility manager was paid nearly as much as the city manager. On local purchases, Alurdo Mor rison, chairman of the citizens committee that drafted the charter amendment, pointed out that there would undoubtedly be instances where the manager could make purchases more cheaply from out sido sources, and that the tax payers were entitled to the sav ings made, that he should never be compelled to pay higher rates Just to keep his purchases local. Fleet sharply pointed out that the manager would be confined to the budgetary figures. He stated that the council is bound each year not to exceed more than a six per cent increase in the previous budget without referring it to a vote of the people. In all purchases, and all budg ets, Fleet said, tlio manager would be required to remain with the budget ol the particular depart ment. Mrs. Pat Orinislon questioned why the cily charter should ex clude workers living outside the city limits from working In the city. She quoted figures showing the money on hand in tlio city at the present time, and listing the bonded indebtedness of the city to show that the cily of Klamath Falls was nearly solvent and didn't need much additional sav ings. Fleet, who is alio on the city finance committee, corrected her figures by pointing out that all money on hand will have been consumed by July 1, and that there certainly was a need for savings, lie also enumerated some of the things which the city needed but could not now afford such as an addilional fire station, new trucks, new street department equipment and others. Morrison rebutted one argument by pointing out that the charter does not piohilni persons from out ido the city from working in the city, but that tlio new charter would require that any cily man ager iiiusi Dccome ana remain a resident ot the cily of Klamath Falls. Mrs. Marguerite Kahl wondered why the new charter amendment contained prov isions to amend the method of reading ordinances, con tending that it should lie em bodied in a separate ordinance. She also questioned why the coun cilmen and the mayor could not train the various employes to more ellicicnUy handle their de partments. It was pointed out lh.it thej change in procedure of reading ordinances was necessary to streamline the council procedures. One ordinance alone, in the new building code, will re quire some four and one-half hours just for rending alone, and it must be read two diflerent times. The counciliiim are all thorough ly familiar with the ordinances in advance, having assisted in drill ing them, and cily business could be more speedily handled without sacrificing any accuracy. The dictatorial aspects of the city manager plan were explored In the opening remarks of the pos itive side o( the argument when It was pointed out that any city manager would be entirely at the confrol of His city council, and that he could be fired with or without cause. The council would decide policy and planning and the city mana ger would put the policy and plan ning Into operation. The sum total of the arguments both pro and con pointed up the fact that the city manager could not and should not be considered as a cure-all for all civic ills, as Mrs. Kahl said, but that the insti tution of the Council-Manager plan would result in the people getting more out of their tax dollar. The panel is the type of intelli gent discussion that should be given to this -vital topic by the citizens of Klamath Falls. Helena Hubinstein By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK tm - AH her life Helena Rubinsfein has puzzled by her ability to get so many things done. Now in her eighties, this jet haired, tiny (under five feet) lady business dynamo still , travels in cessantly and actively bosses a $25,000,000-a-year worldwide cos metics empire. She has financial interests in 100 countries. She maintains three homes, and at one time had eight. She still leads an active social life, regu'.arly prowls through galleries and antique stores to expand her internationally famous art collec tion. How does she keep up a sched ule that would crack the nerves of her secrets: Keep healthy. And always do first the things you most dislike to do. With them out of the way, you then will find you have plenty of time left to do what you want." Madame Rubinstein is the epi tome of the self-made woman. One of eight daughters of a Polish importer, she emigrated to Aus tralia as a young girl. In her baggage were a dozen jars of home-made face cream given to her by her mother. That proved to be the basis of her for tune. Alter studying chemistry, she opened a beauty parlor, took In $100,000 the first year. 1 still use that original cream formula given me by mother," she said. "Its main ingredient is the juice of water lily leaves." But today her beauty preparations al so include such exotic additions as hormones, orchid pollen and powdered silk. Although surrounded by the trappings of vast wealth . . . half a dozen Picassos here, a dozen priceless African masks there . . . she has a down-to-earth attitude townrd life and people. She nover tidgcts long in making up her mind. Recently, on one day's notice, she invested more than a million dollars in signing as a sponsor for the new ABC-TV network show starring Sid Caesar and Imogcne Cocaalthough she had- never seen either perform. The seat of her empire is a 26 rooin, three-floor Park Avenue penthouse with 12 bathrooms. She liked the apartment so well she bought the whole building "so they couldn t raise my rent." On rare days when she doesn't go to the oft ice, a large plastic bed imported from Paris takes the place of her desk and swivel chair. Snuggled comfortably un der tlie covers, she sometimes summons her top executives to boudoir business conferences that start as early as 8 a.m. Gifted with an ageless inlellcc tual vigor, Madame Rubinstein re fuses to heed the pleas of her two sons to slow down. She has alwavs enjoyed hard work, and feels many people today are spoiled be cause they don't know the real pleasure that lies in working. Asked what she regarded as the greatest enemy of womanly beau ty, Madame Rubinstein said crisp ly: ".Not lime laziness." New Job By SHERI GILES United Press in Chicago Gloria Swanson has changed her occupation. Now she sells her own fashions dabbles in writing, and gives im promptu lectures on how to stay young though in your 60s. miss swanson is currently on lour with her newest business en deavor (Gloria Swanson Forever Young Fashions). She admits, roll ing her huge blue eyes, that she is almost 60, but she is still just as regal as she was in the days of the silent screen. She proved it by holding court. enthralling 3.200 fans at a fashion show, then 40 or 50 writers at a later news conference. The glamorous Miss Swanson delivered an off-the-cuff oration on how one stays young. Watch what goes into your stom ach. Beauty comes from inside, not out. Have many interests. Use lots of energy. Get lots of sleep, " And most important, have ro mance in your life at all times, "1 really do prefer talking to men myself," she says coyly. Grandmother Gloria turns dead serious when she mentions t h e Swanson diet. This consists of al falfa sprouts, yogurt, raw milk and salad without dressing. It also bans smoking and drinking. "I never eat anything that's not organically grown," says she. ' From her research with medical books, the congressional record, and personal experience, Gloria feels that we are all in danger of contracting a serious disease from DDT. "It's all around you," she says, pointing ominously. "You think food and health laws protect you the heck they do." Then, she switches to the subject of her first career, acting. "Young people like drama on the stage," she says. "Young marrieds like, well, something a little light er. Those in their 40s like some thing very light. 'Bui those who are verv. vcrv old," she laughs, "insist on ro mance." "As for me," says the actress, I'm like bon ami to all those sweet people, my public. I'm a trademark, a member of the fain- ily, a part of their youth." Slnte Ileport By JAMES D. OLSON Let's take a look in the back rooms of the two leading Republi can candidates for governor. Fig uratively speaking, that is and see what is going on in the early davs of campaigning of State Treasurer big Unandw and Secretary of State Mark liatfjeld. Women are going to play an im portant part in the campaign of secretary Hatfield. This Is not sur prising as Hatfield has lone felt that inasmuch as the women play an important part In all political campaigning Uiey should be recog nized. And he strongly intimated that If he is chosen for governor that he will place some women in some important state boards and commissions.

She will work with II. G. 'Bud) Horn of Portland, who is iinance chairman.. Jack Miller, former state chair man of the Young Republican Fed eration of Oregon is Hatfield's cam paign manager and Stuart H. Compton, Salem, treasurer. In Multnomah County, Mrs. Paul Daughtrcy, another long time worker in the Republican cause, is vice-chairman. Irving Enna is chairman. Moreover, Kathleen Bash, immediate past Jackson County chairman, has been as signed the top post in the Jackson County Hatfield organization and in Marion County Mrs. Robert D. Gregg is county chairman. Finances arc the worry of all candidates for public office as cash is short and difficult to obtain, However, in iiatiield s case, even though his financial campaign has just gotten under way, he is get ting small unsolicited contributions from people in various parts of the state. People in Hatfield's campaign are concerned so many of Hat field's speaking engagements in the next three months are before civic and religious organizations where discussion of polititcs is out of place. This does not concern Hatfield, though, who says appear ances can be of value even though politics are not mentioned. Now let's take a look at the ac tivities in Treasurer Unander's headquarters. He, too, has an ex governor as his chairman, Charles A. Sprague, publisher of the Ore gon Statesman in Salem. And he has Mrs. Paul L. Patterson, widow of the late Governor Patterson as his vice-chairman. So Unander is looking for the men's support in his campaign. One cannot but be impressed with thoroughness in which Un ander and his aides have laid out their campaign plans. William Ire land, Molalla merchant, who was campaign manager for Patterson and former Gov. Douglas McKay, is actively directing Unander's campaign. An extremely aclivc Young Re publican, Robert A. Elliott of Med- ford, former state chairman of the Young Republican Federation. campaign secretary and Paul Mays, Portland, is treasurer, Both county and city Unander organizations are being organized the belief being that in many conn ties of considerable size, more ef fective work can be accomplished if committees are set up in the principal cities. This is a new wrinkle in Oregon politics and may prove to be an important aid his campaign. Unander has speaking engage ments that will carry him into ev ery county in the state, and on many of his trips he will be ac companied by his charming wife, who is quite a campaigner in her own right. Unander has long planned for this campaign, has many ideas that he will put Into effect at the right tim , but which he is not will ing to divulge at this time. One thing, certain, both he and Hat field, will put on a vigorous cam paign for the Republican guberna torial nomination and the people in Oregon will know both of them better by the time the May 16 primaries roll around. vte wouui line to throw some light on George Livingston ot Da mascus In Clackamas County, who also seeks the Republican nod for the governorship. But he is abso lutely unknown in Oregon political circles and when he tiled he fled out of the capitol like a scared rabbit. All he left behind in addi tion to his $100 check was his slo gan, "Let's get to work." He'll have to do a heap of work if he expects to wm over two young pop ular state officials.

NEW YORK - Airman Donald O. K.irrell. aked if he thought man could really fly , the moon: "I definitely think it cm lo done, and 1 would like to do II." TOKYO to The Communists today offered to give up anyone from the South Korean airliner that flew north Sunday who wants to quit North Korea. But it hedged by demanding that the South Ko rean government negotiate the re lease directly with the North Ko rean regime.. "Among those who were aboard the plane which came over to the North, there are some who desire to return," Pyongyang radio said. n uiey uesire so. thev will be allowed to go where they want to." But the Red radio added: "Our side has already made it clear if the South Korean author ities really want to realize the hope of those desiring to return home, it is proper that thev should directly approach the government of the Democratic Peoples Repub lic of (North) Korea for this." Previously the South Korean government had refused to deal with the Communists on the issue, maintaining their legal position that the Red regime is an illegal government which the Seoul gov ernment does not recognize. The 34 people aboard the Ko rean National Airlines DC3 in cluded two American pilots, a west berman couple and 30 Ko reans, two of the latter children. "Since they came to the north ern part of the republic, all of them have been well and in good j neaitn ana accorded warm kind ness and humanitarian treat ment," the Communist broadcast said. "For this, they themselves are expressing satisfaction and grati tude." Pyongyang radio said all those aboard the plane have been "hos pitably received. We have . . . been treating with kindness the guests who came to us." The statements were made in a question-nnd-answer exchange on the missing plane between a spokesman of North Korea's Min istry of Foreign Affairs and an interviewer from the Korean Cen tral News Agency. The U.N. Command in Korea had demanded the return of the plane and all those aboard. The South Korean government had ap pealed to the International Red Cross for help in getting the 34 oacK. . ' U.S. and South Korean officials are certain that Communist agents slipped aboard the plane as passengers and took it over at gunpoint or forced the two Amer ican pilots to fly north. The North Korean representa tive on the Korean Armistice Commission said passengers aboard the plane had defected vol untarily. The plane was on a flight from Pusan to Seoul. Its pilot was Wil lis P. Hobbs, Vallejo, Calif. The copilot was Lt. Col. Howard W. McClellan, Buchanan, Mich., who was along to log extra flight time and pay. The Palace of Governors in San ta Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest public building in the United States. In 1680 it was the head quarters of rebel Pueblo Indians rebels against the then Spanish rule.
