WYNNE The Friday vote was a triumph (or all those who advocate giving the people all the facts and trust ing them to come up with the right answer. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the city changing to the Council-Manager form of govern ment, and represented a reversal from previous attempts to gain favoritism for the plan by the residents of the city. Tribute certainly is due Murdo Morrison and his Council-Manager committee who actually have spent almost two years studying the plan, picking it to pieces and fit ting them together again. The group spent many hours of its own time visiting other cities where the city manager plan was in effect. They not only recommended to the mayor and city council that they put the plan on the ballot, but volunteered to visit , service clubs and other groups to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the plan. The result was a vole for the plan. Now the next step Is to put the plan into operation. The mayor and council have in dicated that they will not rush into the hiring of a city manager They wish to have time to as similate applications, talk with prospective candidates for the job, and by all means possible attempt to select the best man ' for the job consistent with the money that the city can afford to pay. The Council-Manager investigat ive committee formulated some suggestions for the council which I feel are good and bear repeat ing. They suggested among other things that Hi the council begin immediately a search for the right man by advertising in national city manager publications and by other means, and carefully process all applications received. They pointed out that it may take four months before a man can be hired and he available. 2. They urged If possible that a city manager be selected who has had previous experience in shifting a city from the mayor council to the Council-Manager plan to minimize friction in the changeover. 3. They urged that the council certainly go outside the city and hire a thoroughly qualified city manager who Is either a member of the national city manager as socialion, or qualified to be a member. They pointed out, also, that since the burden of hiring and firing a city manager lay with the coiin cil, it was only proper that the mayor and council select the city manager rather than appointing a civilian committee to do the tusk. At the present time, the mayor and council do not have anyone in mind for the job. Also, they don't at this time have a clear- cut idea on what it may actually cost to get the right man for the job. Bui the search lor a city man ager has begun. It's a big forward slep for Klamath Falls, and one that I'm convinced will pay of big dividends in the years that lie ahead. I'.HCJIMI lly HAL HOYLK NEW YOftK WW' I think we're all losing size," said playwright Paddy Chayefsky. "Too few people today want stature. They sce.ni. to be trying to gel rid of the stature they have." Scratch a humorist and you find a moralist. And Chayefsky is no exception. At 35 Paddy, who won fame with "Marty," finds tin world a deadly serious place in habited by people too oltcn moti vated by uncontrollable hnstilitv or an uncontrollable reach for personal pleasure. "1 get the feeling that the clank ing legions of the barbarians arc outside the gales again," he said "People have tried this wild, let's live-it-un philosophy so olten he (ore in history, and it has never worked. "Hedonism for the sake of Hod onism this living only for pleas ure is pretty bad, "When you get right down In it however, there are only two win dows to the world two great themes to write about "One says life is nothing, and the only thing worth living tor is death. The other says love makes the world go round. That's my window. "I believe in any kind of love even if it's sick or selfish thai gives a person a reason to live." The Bronx-born author, whose chunky frame is topped by a dark shock of hair as rebellious as his spirit, currently is firm in the saddle of that rainbow mount called success. He has pioduicd hit own movie. "The Goddess," .completed the script for another, "The Middle of the Night." and is putting the finishing touches on a Broadway play. But after 16 years of writing, including a period spent as a gag smith, he feels he has only now mastered the technique of his craft. "You're a craftsman when you no longer have to watch your fingers." he explained. "And you can tell when you do something whether it's right or wrong. 'I'm not rich, but I'm comfort ably well off. I could lay off a year and get by if I had to. But I want to be prepared (or that three-year (allow period they say comes to every writer at some lime in his life. "I (eel now I've got the crafts manship in my hands. Now I want to go on and become a real artist. "I take myself seriously as a writer, whether anyone else does or not. I spend hours trying to get a single phrase right. Many who win success find it disappointing. They look with yearning back to' some earlier period of 'their life. Not Chayetsky. Neither his childhood nor his years as a soldier I he was wound ed in turope during the Second World War) hold any romantic appeal to him. "The happiest lime of my life is right now," he said. "I haled the war, and adolescence was the un happiest period I ever knew. "Someone once wrote and asked me why I didn't write a play about tocn-agers. I couldn't bear to couldn't go back and live that misery over again even in mem ory. "My son, Danny, is now three years old, My biggest wish is I hat, somehow, he could skip the years bclwcen 10 and 20. (pciicrnliiicN By JAMES MAR. LOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON ii - President Eisenhower delivered a 3,000-word collection of generalities in a speech to 2.500 businessmen last night on the recession. He said there are strong indi cations the recession is slowing down. But he said nothing speciiic about any anti-recession move his administration has in mind be yond what is already known. "We can never," he said, "pep- talk our way lo prosperity." But his talk made in New York to the Economic Mobilization Con ference of the American Manage ment Assn. was in effect a pep-talk. The closest he got to revealing his administration's intentions about future anti-recession action by his administration was this statement which, as it soon turned out, didn't reveal anything at all: "Afler consultation with congres sional leaders, certain decisions I shortly be taken in the field of taxation." Did this mean he was thinking of a lax cut? Maybe. Maybe not. An examination of his sentence shows he wasn't saying yes or no lo such a question. His press sec retary James C. Hagerty was asked lo throw light on what Ei senhower meant. Hagerty said the decision, when it comes, could he either (or or against a tax reduc tion. Eisenhower went on: "What America must do now is gather all its forces for a new offensive to promote an early upturn and renewed economic growth that is vigorous and sound." How can that be done? He said "From this point on the conscious determination of the American people together with resultant actions can make the difference in lifting the economy to higher and higher levels." He cited some anti-recession steps already taken by the gov ernment: making credit easier: pushing private construction: stepping up purchases for defense needs; and the administration's proposal (or extended unemploy ment pay. Eisenhower suggested no further action by the government beyond the steps already taken. From then on he gave business men advice on what to do. He said businessmen should: Olfer the consumer something better; intensify their research in to what consumers want; keep their inventories normal and not let them get too low; buy as an anti-recession move the things they need for their business any way; have a price policy that will attract and not repel customers. While telling businessmen to be realistic about prices, Eisenhower nudged labor to be realistic about its wage demands, lest the! de mands force prices too high. Events of the past few weeks the treatment given Vice Presi dent Nixon in Latin America, the revolt in Lebanon, the crisis in France have pushed the reces sion back in the public conscious ness. This is just temporary. The re cession is still here. It will return as a prime topic of discussion as soon as events elsewhere quiet down. World lair By EDDIE GILMORE BRUSSELS lTl Visitors to the 1958 World's Fair should arrive equipped with plenty of cash, courage, patience and strong feet They'll need the money for Brussels' high prices, courage for rides with the city's speed-demon taxi drivers, patience for waiting in long lines at the fair for food and strong (eet to tramp the exhi bition's 550 acres. In November last year an Amer ican reserved a double room with bath (or himself and wife at a good but not swanky hotel. He was asked to pay 540 francs i $10,801 in advance. On April 4 he was notified that with an increase in prices author lzcd by the government, the room would now cost 963 francs t $19.26 ) . The price includes a service charge of 15 per cent, taxes and a continental breakfast of tea coffee and rolls. But, you'd better tip just the same. Breaklaslers wanting fiuit juice. eggs, bacon or ham paj extra. Taxi drivers of Paris long have been regarded by many foreigners as eccentrics. One of their eccen tricities is breakneck speed. Brussels taximen seem to come from the same mould. The big difference is Ihey have new auto mobiles, mostly American and German, and capable of greater speed. Just before the World's Fair opened on April 17, the starting lare was increased from 7 to 10 francs 1 20 cents'. There is a local ordinance com pelling a taxi user to tip a mini mum of 15 per cent. But. if you stick to the minimum you'll get more than a dirty glare Tip 20 per cent and the cabbies are polite: 25 and they smile; 30 and they bow; 40 and they bow and call you monsieur. Despite dozens of restaurants, there still arc not enough. The restaurant at the American Pavil ion has had a lineup every day since the opening. the prices range from 50 cents for a prime beef hamburger, $1.60 for Dixie style barbecued half spring chicken to 20 cent coffee. "In accordance with local cus tom." reads a note on the menu there is a service charge of per cent which replaces the tip." At the fair grounds there are four ways of visiting the exhibits by motorized trains that rumble through the grounds, by motorized rickshaws, by two-man gondolas that glide along cables suspended over the heads' of the crowd. And by foot. Buying a cocktail, whisky, gin or brandy is no problem in Brus sels but its a costly process. Spirits cannot legally be sold at bars, restaurants and hotel dining rooms. Spirits are legal at private clubs. however, and these seem to in clude a variety of unique establishments. But, you can get these drinks at hotels. "The price is a little h.gh, mon sieur, explained the waiter, "but you see, the price includes part of the fine we have to pay (or violating the law. Poqo 0M.WVUT A pes I wcuio via erg..

The world's costliest negligee has embarked on a "tour" of U.S department and specialty stores to help call attention to the Brussels World Fair. The negligee, valued at $10,000, is cut on empire lines, pale apricot silk chiffon, skirted in antique white bruges lace. Jean Mooncy, a Cleveland, Ohio, newspaperwoman, tells this story of a friend who wore a chemise. It's chic to wear long necklaces with the sack, so Jean's friend decked herself out in a 60-inch rope of pearls for a dinner dale. The girl and her escort decided to dance just as the waiter served the main course, roast chicken. The fashionwise young lady got all the way to the dance floor be fore she noticed what had hap pened. Her pearls had roped the pullet, and the chicken was swing ing along between her krees. Here's today's household hint: To repair dents in furniture, dampen the affected part. Fold a piece of brown paper several times, soak it in warm water and put it on the dent. Then apply a warm, not hot iron, until the moisture evaporates. Repeat this until the dents disappear. Xvis Mail ling An increasihg number of veter ans hospitalized by Veterans Ad ministration for severe menial ill ness are recovering and leaving the hospital, figures compiled by the agency reveal. VA reported its hospitals placed 6,736 menial patients on trial visit lo their home communities during the first six months of fiscal year 11)58, and 13.200 during the entire fiscal year 1957. The fiscal 1957 number repre sents a s e v e n per cent increase over the 12.351 palients placed on trial visit from VA hospitals in' fiscal 1956, a 32 per cent increase over the 9,985 in fiscal 1955, and a '3 per cent increase over the 7.617 in fiscal 1953. Most of the patienls leaving the hospitals on trial visit have been treated for severe mental condi tions, VA said. The average daily patient load ot mentally ill veterans in VA hos pitals has remained at around the same number since the beginnint of fiscal year 1956, but rose be tween 1953 and 1956. Currently, the figure is 57.423, which includes 52.. 456 veterans with severe mental illness and 4.967 with less severe psychiatric disorders. VA said the increase in patients on trial visit can be attributed to changes in therapies (including introduction of tranquilizing drugs and more emphasis on individual and group psychotherapy), to an increase in open wards, and tu reawakened interest in develop ment of new habits of socializa tion to prepare patients for return to community living. aMlOlVS NEW YORK-I.avvrcncc A.
