I PAGE 8 B HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY. JUNE 1. 195S Brisk Fall Upturn Seen By Nation's Businessmen NEW YORK (AP) -.The na (ion's economy emerged battered but unbowed this week from its toughest spring season in 10 years. From now on, many busi nessmen felt, the going should be smoother. Odds are against any surging pickup in the next two months For basic industries like automo biles and steel, summer is nor mally a slack season. But hopes ride high (or a brisk upturn by fall. Like a giant awakening from a Ions slumber, the construction in dustry flexed its muscles this week. A sharp rise in construc tion contract awards signaled a burst of activity in the months ahead. Retailers, pinched less by the recession than most other busi ness groups, were also betting on recovery by autumn. The Nation al Retail Merchant Assn. polled Train Kills Man On Hike AUSTIN. Tex. (AP) One mentally retarded youth died and a camp counselor suffered serious injury Friday night when an un expected train roared out of the darkness and trapped a group of hikers on a trestle. David O'Danicl, 25, Corsicana. Tex., was killed when he panicked and bolted from a secure spot be tween the railroad ties as t h e train thundered overhead. John Harrison, 2(1, Austin stu dent at the University of Texas and counselor and Boy Scout master at the Marbridge Ranch for Exceptional Boys, had an arm severely mangled as he attempted to pull the 6-foot-3 O'Danicl to safety. Harrison herded all but O'Dan lel off the railroad bridge when the train was heard approaching. When he saw that O'Danicl described as "severely retarded and highly excitable" would not get off the trestle in time he threw O'Dinicl between the ties and lay down beside him so the train could pass overhead. "They had no way of knowing the train was coming," Mrs. J.E. Bridges, wife of the operator of the ranch, said. "That train was running six or eight hours late." Lisbon Police Stage Raid LISBON, Portugal (AP) Po lice rnided the headquarters of Gen. Humocrlo Dclgado, opposi tion presidential candidate, Friday night and seized published male rial, it was announced Saturdny An announcement by Delgado's headquarters said Inspectors of the I.P.D.S. (Inlrrnational Police for the Defense of the Slate) car ried out the raid and seized ma terial they called illegal. The material was stored for sale to Delgado's supporters in or der to collect funds for the cam paign. Police later relumed some ma terial which they did not find of fensive or capable of inciting the people to tevolt, the announce ment said. A spokesman said Dcl gado strongly protested the raid. Dr. Arlindo Vicente of the Dem ocratic opposition, withdrew from the elections Friday and urged his supporters to vote for Delgudo June ft. Delgado predicted that if the Council of Stato barred him at its Saturday meeting civil war will result. The council is con trolled by Premier Antonio Sula lar, whom Delgado has threat ened to remove if elected. its member stores on their 1958 prospects and came up with these results: Six.y-three per cent ex pect their sales and profits to match or surpass l'Jo7. M. J. Rathbone, .president of Standard Oil Co. (N.J.I, told stockholders of the wurld's largest oil company: "Nothing in the longer term outlook has di minished our confidence in an ex panding picture for our industry. Thomas J. Watson Jr., presi dent of International Business Machines Corp., dedicated a brand new manufacturing center at San Jose, Calif. IBM, he said, is "making plans on the assumption that the economy will turn up, but we don't know when." President Eisenhower said the downward force of the recession is largely spent. There is ground to believe," he said, "that the worst of our problems are behind us." But prospects of a broad tax cut flew out of the window. From several important quar ters this week came pronounce ments that inflation the decline in your dollar's buying power is slill a major threat. Steel consumers started to wor ry about another round of steel price boosts. William C. Stolk, president oi American Can Co., said any hike in tinplate prices by the steel mills will be passed on to tin can buyers at once. Said Stolk: "We can't absorb any part of such an increase. Steel production this week hit its fastest pace since January. Mills paid overtime wages to keep their furnaces going on Memorial Day. The lagging oil industry showed new signs of life. State officials in oil-rich Oklahoma said demand for crude is picking up. Along Automobile How this week, dealers said new car sales arc finally on the upbeat. Buyers in the second 10 days of May signed up lor shiny new chronic bedecked models at the rate of 14.B75 cars a day. But sales (or the not-so-merry monlh of May are still expected to trail last year by about 30 per cent.

Meany Seeks Ban On Magazine Ads WASHINGTON (UP1) AFL CIO President George Meany has ordered state and local labor bod ies to bar certain advertisements from union publications. He moved in the. wake of charges th-it sonic union ad solic iting amounted to "shakedowns" of employers. Meany singled out as unethical unsigned ads. olten from a "friend of labor," ind ads paid (or by non union employers. "Obviously," Meany said in his directive, "advertisements from non-union employers do not belong in a labor publication and it is just as clear that a legitimate 'friend of labor' would want Ins signature on an advertisement he placed." The AFL-CIO chief said unions were gelling bad publicity because ot questionable activities by ad so bettors lor union publications.

Remember the old saying, "A stitch in time saves nine?" Well, Pacific Telephone has m o d- ernized It and applied it to its cable maintenance program here in Klamath Falls. In its new form, the old saying might read something like this: A cable leak repaired belore the rain saves pain" the pain from loss of service and costly emer gency repairs. To put this modernized bit of philosophy into practice, here in Klamath Falls, according to Dick Bailey, manager, the company is pumping dehydrated air into its lo cal aerial and underground cables. An air compressor pumps dried air into the cables at the central olfice at a rate of 6(10 cubic feet per day and at a pressure of nine pounds per square inch. Under a constant flow of pressure from the compressor, (he air will escape through any holes or cracks in the cable sheathing. Cable damage is caused by ex- Housewife Free On Bond BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A 28-year-old housewife was free on $10,000 bond Saturday after plead ing innocent to charges of robbing two savings and loan association olficcs at gunpoint. Mrs. Charles Anderson Jr. rc- mnined calm at her arraignment Ihursday, maintaining Hie sloic composure she had displayed most of the tune since her arrest by Hie FBI. When she was (reed. however, she fainted in her hus band's arms Mrs. Anderson, described as a model wile and mother, was ar rested at her home Ihursday. Em ployes of the City Federal Sav ings and Loan Assn. and Jeffer son Feder.u Savings and Loan Assn. identified her as the tall attractive blond who robbed their branches of $2,900. I hove always led a Christian life, and I am trying to raise my amity in a proper manner, Mrs. Anderson toid newsmen. Mrs. Anderson is the mother of an 8-year-oid son and a 13-month-old daughter and is expecting an other child. Anderson, manager for an in surance company, said he and his wile had no debts except a small department store bill and monthly house note. My wife can t bear to see chil dren hurt, he said. "1 can't imagine her robbing a bank at gunpoint. The two offices Mrs. Anderson is accused ol robbing are both across the street from police headqnarteis in suburban Home- wood. Man Unimpressed By Huge Odds TACOMA (API - An Associ ated Press s'nry Friday said the U.S. Bureau of .statistics had do- termined that the odds against three memners of a tamily being bom on tiie same day were 28 million to one. The story went on to tell of a Cincinnati family which cele brated three birthdays Thursday John E. Hcrron o( Tacoma, read the story and wasn't impressed His laniuy, he said, also crlc hrates three birthdays on March 19: Roscanne is 8. Michael and Damion a.e 6. The boys, it is (rue. are ,wins. he added, but the Bureau of Statistics didn't say anything about twins not count- ins. The llerrons also have two other children, born March .11 and April t. "Five biithday cakes in 15 days." Morton commented. "II gets a little hectic around lien. Z4 7-i J I L 1 I Jy'vV', ' i mi i Skim Milk Being Dumped SPOKANE Wl Skim milk is being poured into sewers of a number ot inland tmpire com munities as a result of a seasonal surplus of milk in the area, Alex ander Swantz, market adminis trator for the Spokane milk shed, said Saturday. We do not have estimates of the exact weight or gallonage of the milk surplus," he said, "but it is the largest in the past two years." He said several of the smaller dairies, particularly in the Coeur d'Alene area, can't accumulate sufficient amounts of skim milk to warrant shipment to a new powered milk plant at Ellensburg, Wash., and they are dumping it. He said the current surplus re sults from a decrease in consump tion, particularly in the communi ties hit by industrial layoffs, and a peak production period for cows Processors are extracting but terfat from the fluid milk and dumping the skim, using the fat to make ice cream and butter, he said. A BETTER JOB of maintenance will be possible with this new pumping system which will pump dried air into the telephone cables to spot possible leaks. For Pacific Telephone it represents "a stitch in time saves nine." Daily checks are made on pressure in the cables, and a loss of pressure sends repairmen on a search for a leak that could cause oss of service. ' PT6T Pumps AiHnto Local Aerial, Underground Lines Bank Gives PNW Cities Plus Mark SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Pa cific Northwest cities enjoyed plus marks on their department store ledger slice's lor the week ending May 2-1, the Federal Reserve Bank reports. Sales were up one per cent in Tacoma. scveji in Portland and eight per cent higher in Spokane and Seattle, 'i lie high tally tor the Twelfth District was chalked up at Salt Lake City where sales were 10 per cent over those for the same period a year ago. The overall picture since Jan. 4, 1958, however, shows only Spo kane with u plus three per cent running ahead of the comparable period in 1957. Sales in all other cities were below normal with Ta coma and Portland down six per cent. treme changes in temperature: crystallization of the cable sheath over a period of time: electro lysis in underground cables; bul lets, shotgun pellets or rocks hit ting the cable; bugs or squirrels boring or biting into the cable. The air escaping through the holes or cracks prevents mois ture from seeping into the cable. Once each day. meters are read at the central office to check the amount of pressure in the cables. If any loss of pressure is noted. cable repairmen then make spot pressure readings along the ca ble to detect the approximate lo cation of the leak. Then a soapy liquid is sprayed on the caole. The escaping air blows the liquid into a bubbly troth, and the hole or crack in the cable is pinpointed. The advantages of this new ca ble maintenance system started here recently, according to Bailey, are: 1. Damage to cables is found before loss of service, and the damage is repaired during normal working hours instead of on an emergency basis. 2. The customer gets better service and the company has low er maintenance bills. Some 45 miles of aerial and un derground table' in Klamath Falls have been put under pressure al ready, and more are to be pres surized under a progressive maintenance schedule. In some ot the smaller commun ities in Oregon. Bailey said, non explosive, odorless nitrogen gas is being used to pessurize cables. For these communities, for the present at least, the use of nit rogen gas has been found less ex pensive. "But whether its dry air or nit rogen gas tnat's keeping the rain out of our cables," Bailey said, "the fact remains that with this new system of local cable main tenance we are able to do a bet ter job for our customers at less cost to ourselves. Portland Pair Escape Harm A Portland couple escaped ser ious injury when their car and trailer were wrecked on Highwav 97, two and one-half miles south of Modoc Point about 2 a.m. on Saturday.
