Hoover Asks Spending Cut NEW YORK im Former Prosi dent Herbert Hoover urged a slash in government spending for noil defense purposes and an accom panying tax cut as (lie best way 10 aclueve economic recovery. Addressing a New York Cham ber of Commerce dinner last night Hoover said: Ihere arc some old and proved wonder drugs useful both to prevent inflation and to speed recovery from recessions. The most useful of these econom ic wonder drugs is die elimination ol waste and the reduction of non essential federal spending until we have a balanced budget. . . . "We should cut government ex penditures, not only to provide for additional weapons and balance the budget, but also to the point where wo can have a tax reduc tion. This would he the greatest possible stimulant lo re covery. . . . Hoover urged labor and indus try lo declare a moratorium on wage and price increases to help the nation shake off what he ailed the current "minor slump in nusiness ana employment. Hoover said present economic conditions differ substantially from the depression starting in that marked his presidency. In those days, he said, the coun try was on its way out of a normal recession when it was struck hv "economic cyclone" from Eu rope, and countries there stopped buying American goods. He saw no such storm on the horiron today, provided this coun try keeps "our gre;it enemy in timidated" from making war. Navy Halts Plane Search ST. JOHNS.

At top, his 3-year-old son, John, is shown with his little wagon in the cleared area in front of Ranger Jack Raftery's house at Park Headquarters. Only one gable of the house is visible, upper left, and the tunnel access to the residence is shown at lower right. Snow measurements are taken at Park Headquarters and official snow depth was nearly 15 feet. In the lower pic ture only the upper third story of Crater Lake Lodge is visible above the snow and Gar field Peak looks like a mere hill behind Rim Village. Student Row Is Clarified County school officials have tak en exception with repeated state ments and implications that Chil oquin students and young out of schoolers from Chiloquin were the ring leaders In recent fracases with students and non-schoolers in Kliimath Falls.

The machinists working with the airlines had scheduled a strike for Sunday, March 2. The Nation al Mediation Board advises that the scheduled strike cannot be legally called until at least 30 days after the emergency board has sub- muted its recommendations. Involved in the dispute with the machinists are the following air lines: United, Eastern, National. TWA, Northwest, Capital and Northeast. The scheduled strike evolved from a wage dispute, with the Machinists' Association including the machinists, mechanics, and baggage handling personnel. With United Air Lines alone, the strike would directly involve 8,000 me chanics and baggage handlers. Gill Gives (Continued from Page One) some fiend should harm my daughter or my wife, he will get his just punishment you can rest assured on that." Gill also pointed to his record on behalf of Oregon Tech. "I am a solid supporter of Oregon Tech remaining in Klamath Falls," he commented. He also put himself on rectwd as solidly supporting more home rule for county governments. "They don't have legislative pow ers at present, but they certain ly should have." On improvement in the state's economy, Gill laid down a five point program that would help bol ster the state's picture. He listed the five as HI a cut in taxes, (2i creating a healthy tax climate, (3) securing a fair shake in the transportation field, freight-rate wise, 141 keep coastal and Colum bia River harbors dredged prop erly and in good condition, and (5) improve the power develop ment situation in the state. Clarifying his meaning of a "healthy tax climate," Gill point ed out that many states have the power to waive taxes as an in ducement to new industries to lo cate in the area. "At present," he explained, "neither the counties nor the state have the power to waive such taxes. Such taxes waived during the early period of a new industry would be more than offset," he said,' "by result ing employment and addition to the tax rolls." Gill, who has served 10 years in the State Legislature, summed up his service there by saying "I have never failed to do what I thought was right, no matter how it might have hurt personally." Commenting on his opponents for the Republican nomination, Gill stated he was not going to lambast either Unander or Hat field. "However," he said, "after studying the records of both men I felt that I could not support cither man, and I had no place to go. I thought about it for a long time, and something within me made me file for the office. Some one had to fill the void for the voters," Gill continued, "and I de cided to be a candidate on a pro gram of fair play and pros 1 perity." I Gill addressed the noon lunch ieon of the Kiwanis Club Thurs day while his wife was a guest of 'the Soroptimist Club. Both were guests at a Thursday evening cof ifee hour at the Willard Hotel I which was attended by about 100 persons. it has been since 1898 that Cuba won its independence from Spain.
