KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE
la The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
In these days when the troubles
ot France hold the center of the
world spotlight, it's easy to point
Qui that the French got themselves
into the mess they're in by TOL
ERATING POLITICIANS instead
of DEMANDING STATESMEN as
their leaders.
And-
lt's true enough.
The mess the French are in is
due largely to politicians who re
fused to face the facts of life
particularly the hard FINANCIAL
facts of life. In every financial
crisis, the French politicians have
chosen the- primrose path leading
to the flowery pastures of infla
tion in preference to the rough and
often rocky road that leads to the
rich and rewarding valleys of fi
nancial stability.
But
How- about US?
What right have WE to throw
stones at France's financial win
dows? We live in a financial glass house
ourselves.
For example:
We came out of the war with a
big debt. We SHOULD have started
PAYING OFF our debt. If we had
done so, we would have it paid
down by now to the point where
the burden of taxation would be
bearable.
If, in the prosperous years that
followed the war, we had paid off
our aeot or at least had paid it
down to the point where it would
be manageable we would be sit
ting on the world now, with few
financial worries.
Instead, we took the easy way,
ana puea up more debt.
Another example:
We came out of the war with a
farm bill based on subsidies that
were designed to PROMOTE
FARM PRODUCTION in order to
meet the demands, of war FOR
FOOD.
Knowing that with the end of
world war would come a slump
in the demand for food and more
food and still more food (history
tells us plainly there is never
enough food in time of war) WE
should havj repealed the subsidies.
But we didn't. We took the EASY
way and kept the subsidies going
in time of peace. .
As a result, we now have fabu
lous agricultural surpluses that
hang over the markets of the fu
ture like a dark thundercloud.
Put. it this way:
When came the end of the war,
STATESMEN would have started
paying off our debt.
When came the end of the war.
STATESMEN would have repealed
the farm subsidies that were de
signed wholly as a war measure.
But
When came the war's end
POLITICS, rather than states
manship, ruled our governmental
policies. So now, along with the
French, we are paying the bill,
When one elects to dance, you
know, one must pay the piper.
Ah, me!
What a wonderful thing is hind
. fight. It always has been that way
A century aeo. John Greenleaf
Whittier put these words in the
mouth of the aging Judge as he
watched comely Maud Muller rak
ine the meadows swoet with hay:
"Of all sad words of .tongue or
pen. the saddest are these: IT
MIGHT HAVE BEEN."
Nearly a thousand years ago
Omar the Tent Maker put the
same thought in this quatrain:
"The moving finger writes, and
having writ

and wit .
"Can lure it back to cancel half

California
Poised For
Primary Vote
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)
Campaign spokesmen predicted
Saturday that both Democratic
Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown and
Republican Gov. Goodwin J
Knight would top Republican Sen
William r. Knowland m Califor
nia's primary Tuesday.
Knowland partisans declared
that even with a 7-5 Democra
tic bulge in voter registration
the Senate Republican leader
would poll the high two-party vote
over Brown.
Brown and Knowland, battling
lor the governorship, and Knight,
who switched to the Senate race,
are running on both tickets in the
primary under the state's cross
filing system. So are most other
candidates.
The outlook, however, is that no
body seeking statewide office will
come away with double nomina
tions tantamount to election.
Brown, Knowland and Knight all
have two-party sweeps to their
credit in past elections.
Instead, the results mainly fig
ure to give some idea of the rela
tive bipartisan appeal of Brown
and Knight, who campaigned ex
tensively, and Knowland, who
didn't.
Everything points to final deci
sions in November.
Upwards of three million of the
6.280,176 eligible voters are ex
pected to show their preference
for party nominees for seven
statewide posts, 100 state legisla
tors 20 senators, all 80 assembly
men and 30 congressmen.
There are serious intraparty
contests only for Knowland's Sen
ate seat on the Republican ticket
and for Brown's job as attorney
general on both slates aside from
the heavy competition in most of
the legislative races.
One party official talked about
a Democratic landslide. Roger
Kent, Democratic state chairman.
said Brown will get a plurality of
around 400,000 maybe even
more.

Death Follows
Traffic Check
MOUNT VERNON. N.Y. AP-
At 4:20 a.m. Saturday an officer
in nearby Greenwich, Conn
halted a speeding car.
A verbal warning about his
driving was given the motorist
Llewellyn C. Byrd, a 30-year-old
Negro and an orderly at Green
wich Hospital. After the repri
mand, Byrd was allowed to proceed.
Byrd's destination wasn't
learned but somewhere he picked
up uiree young hitchhikers.
At 5:35 a.m. Byrd and his three
passengers were driving westward
through Mount Vernon, about 15
miles southwest of Greenwich, on
Westchester County s Cross Coun
ty Parkway.
Suddenly, parkway police said,
Byrd's car veered across the di
viding line in the center of the
highway and smashed head on in
to a New Jersey station wagon go
ing in the opposite direction.
Byrd was killed and his three
hitchhiking passengers critically
injured.
The impact was so great that
tne station wagons front was
shoved onto the top of the vehicle.
Moments later the wreckage of
the station wagon was a mass of
flames. In it, three adults and two
children died.

Lost Girl
Survives 7
Days In Woods
RAINY RIVER, Ont. (AP)-A
wet and shivering girl, lost seven
days in tangled bush country, was
found sleeping behind a fallen
tree Saturday.
Brought out of the wilderness
into her mothers arms, 11-year-old
Carol Johnson said she lived
on grass and weeds during her
week-long light with nature.
"I was praying constantly," said
her mother, Mrs. Walter Johnson.
"1 had faith 1 would see her again,
even thougn the rest thought she
was dead."
Carol was found sleeping along
a bush road while a search party
of 500 volunteers exerted a final
effort to locate her.
Saturday's hunt was to have
been the last of a week of slosh
ing through the dense undergrowth
at the eastern end of the Lakeof
the Woods, north of Rainy River,
a Minnesota-Canadian boundary
community.
Carol disappeared last Satur
day afternoon. Her mother
thought at the time the nature-loving
girl had followed a fox into
the woods.
"I was just going out to find
Daddy's cattle," Carol told her
mother at the Rainy River Hos
pital where she was taken for observation.
Hospital attendants said Carol
apparently suffered no ill effects
other than scratches. She was wet
and cold, but otherwise unharmed
her mother said.

Czechs Push
Summit Meet
FRANKFURT, Germany Wl I
Communist Czechoslovakia urged
Saturday that preparatory diplo
matic talks for a summit confer
ence be brought to a speedy con
clusion. Czechoslovak Foreign Minister
Vaclav David summoned the am
bassadors of the Big Four, Poland
and Romania in Prague to hand
them a memorandum demanding
that there be no further delays.
According to the Czechoslovak
news agency CTK. the memoran
dum said. "Attempts to belittle
the signitkance of the summit
meeting and to delay its convoca
tion have recently been intensi
fied." It said opponents of the confer
ence, assuming a lull in public
opinion, "seek to cast in doubt its
purpose and opportuneness."
Czechoslovakia is one of four
member countries authorized by
the Warsaw Pact organization at
the recent Moscow meeting to rep
resent the East in summit talks.

him are enormous.
Part of Hie 12 years has been
spent in filling In the gaps in his

Gaulle was unprepared for office
when he headed the provisional
government in 1945. With history
and foreign policy as his special
ties, he was woefully ignorant of
domestic afiairs,
Now he reads widely, everything
from the novels of Francoise Sagan

emphasis on economics, which has
always been his weak spot. He also
reads everything written about
him that appears in the press. And
he sees many men, ranging from
the American. Ambassador to
France to French Communist boss
Jacques Dticjos.
And he listens. Unlike most great
men. who aro prisoners of them
selves, De Gaulle is a great listen
er. He is not an easy man to talk
to: there are long, uncomfortable
silences during which his visitor
squirms.
In fact, conversation with him is
apt to turn into a monologue, in
terrupted only by the general's
question, "What exactly do you
mean by that word?" When his
visitor fimsncs outlining an idea
the. general pounces upon it, ana
lyzes it, strips it down to its es
sentials.
He is no finishing the third
volume of his memoirs, and he
has perfected a writing style such
as France has not seen since the.
18th Century. I recall that when
I took the diplomatic corps ex
aminations, De Gaulle's books
were cited to us as examples upon
which to model our style. He also
showed me some verse plays which
he wrote when he was only 16, and
which have never been published.
Even at that early age he wrote
perfect French.
De Gaulle has a fantastic mem
ory. For the most part, he has
used no notes in compiling his
memoirs, yet conversations, dates,
places are recalled with exacti
tude. He never speaks from man

WASHINGTON (AP) - Agricul
ture Department olficials say the
agency hopes to break even this

These officials say the depart

charges were up.
The department has announced
it will pay banks and other lend
ers interest at an annual rate of
1.75 per cent for funds borrowed

five-star generals at the annual
June 18 celebration, the anniver
sary of his famous Call to
Frenchmen? On that date 17 years
ago De Gaulle rallied the nation
with, "France has lost a battli
France has not lost the war."
Humility? No, De Gaulle is not
a humble man. He is, if anything,
a proud one. But after acknowl
edging him as its liberator, what
other honors could France offer
him that would not appear cheap
in comparison? This is the' way
De Gaulle reasons.
It has to do also with the strong
streak of mysticism in De Gaulle.
He views himself less as a man
than as a historic process. This
explains his habit of referring to
himself in the third person plural,
"We, De Gaulle." His very name
has a mystical connotation, mean
ing literally -of Gaul.
In De Gaulle's conception if his
tory, Franc-; is not just a matter
of myth, it is an absolute necessi
ty. For if trance is not enlisted
in great causes, the nation be
comes divided, falls into petty bick
oring, according to the general.
I am, convinced that Gen. de
Gaulle will not consent to remain
in power more than six months, or
a year at the most. He believes
that a leader should remain
power only long enough to achieve
one great deed, then he should de
part. He understands the national
temperament. He knows that the

His message to France in 1958 is
much the same. No exhortations,

De Gaulle longs to be a dictator.

Future Spacemen May Be
Frozen Prior To Journey
OMAHA (AP) Freeze them.
pack them aboard ship and send
them on their way. They can be
unfrozen at the other end.
Fish?
No, spacemen.
It's the idea of Dr. Sydney C.
Bausor, prolessor of biology at
Creighton University.
You sec, many planets are so
remote that it would take a 25,-
000-mile-per-hour space ship hun
dreds of years to reach them.
But Dr. Bausor thinks the space
travelers could survive in a froz
en state of suspended animation.
Body functions would he reduced
to a dcath-i'ke standstill, then re
vived at a future time.
"This is not an insurmountable
project." Dr. Bausor contends.
"The first step would conceivably
be to lower the metabolic rates,
prohably by chemical means.
Next, the body would be quick
frozen, followed by freezedrying."
If successfi.l. chemical changes
which normally take place within
cells would be arrested until ac
tivated by a prearranged stimu
lus. Dr. Bausor has kept dehydrated
fungi in a dormant state for as
long as a year. When rehydrated,
it grew as before.
