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."

WASHINGTON (UP1) AFL

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

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

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-

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. '

Cities Plus Mark
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Pa
cific Northwest cities enjoyed plus

Sales were up one per cent in

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 overall picture since Jan.

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.
