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.

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

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

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

German, and capable of greater

Just before the World's Fair
opened on April 17, the starting

There is a local ordinance com

"In accordance with local cus

At the fair grounds there are
four ways of visiting the exhibits

through the grounds, by motorized

that glide along cables suspended
over the heads' of the crowd. And

For Women Only
By UNITED PRESS
For a change, here's some fav
orable comment about woman talk
One authority on charm says the
gift of intelligent gab is a req
uisite for feminine beauty This is
one of the lessons a former school-
marm is giving her newest pu
pils s the 50 stewardesses (or
Pan American Airways.
"Intelligent conversation is the
secret ingredient of being beauti
ful," says instructor Anne Lein
bach. Miss Leinbach, whose teach
ing career has included both
grade and charm school, says to
day's stewardesses should "know
what is going on in the world they
lly over.
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.

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.
