HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1958 f AGE ft A FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor .,,., FLOYD WYNNE City Editor 'lliar MoJor' By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-The scene is a future war. The American in fantry is attacking. Suddenly one platoon breaks away from the advancing line and zooms rapidly forward like a swarm of angry bumblebees. They take one hill ... two hills . . . three hills ... as the star tled enemy panics and flees, Later the whole platoon is called before the beaming general who says: "There has never been an ex ploit to match this in the entire annals of warfare. It's fantastic. I am proud of you men, and I'm recommending every one of you for the Medal of Honor." The members of' the platoon look uneasily at one another. Fi nally an honest private blurts out: "Aw, hell, general, we ain't no heroes. We just set our rear rock et motors too high and couldn't stop. If we hadn't run out of fuel, we'd still be going." This little fantasy could come true f. a new portable rocket de veloped by an ex-Army technical sergeant works out. Strapped to the rear of a doughboy it holds promise of turning him into a combination racehorse and ante lope. "He can run faster, can jump across rivers, scale walls and cliffs, jump extraordinary heights and not be tired when he gets there," said Alexander H. Bohr, the inventor. ' The rocket, details of which arc still secret, doesn't quite enable a soldier to fly, apparently, but does give him. the cxhilerating feeling he's a human cricket. Several infantry veterans I dis cussed the doughboy rocket with were on the skeptical side. "They're always thinking up ways to get a dogface into battle faster," said one. "What the dog face himself wants Is a way to get him out of battle altogether and for this, there's no better gadget than a general peace. "It this rocket thing really makes it easier to get about," said a second, "It'll take it at least two generations to filter up to the front lines. And even then the rear area boys will keep all the latest models for their own convenience." "One thing you do have to ad mit," remarked a third. "It sure is a hell of a handy Instrument for going AWOL in a hurry." "No, it won't," said a fourth. "The military police will have rockets with double motors." And a fifth veteran observed: "Well, the fly-boys have engi neers to go along with them. This rocket idea might not be so bad If they assign a technician to every dogface to carry his pack and fix his motor. Lots of times in the last war I could have used a va let." The Army, of course, Is testing dozens of ideas to make it easier for the doughboy to do his task in battle. But no old infantryman ever be lieves anyone will ever make his job comfortable. Throughout his tory he knows the problem of the dogface has always been the same. The picture is always the same a scattered group of men with a thousand-yard -stare in their tired eyes stumbling up a forlorn hill to root out a dug-in enemy. So it was on Normandy 14 years ago this Friday behind the beach stood the first of a thousand hills. And so, the oldtimcrs believe, it always will be for the infantry as long as there arc wars. Inflation IVnr By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (AP - Fear of more inflation is rising today in spite of the industrial recession. Some businessmen are calling another rise in basic prices in evitable even if the slump hangs around for awhile yet. Still more and these are particularly nu merous in the stock market think that the business upturn, when it comes, will start otf a fresh and perhaps vigorous inllation revival Here are some of the factors that are keeping the inflation is sue alive today:- Wages of many workers aro go ing up, even trough their indus tries may have much idle produc tion facilities. Some ot these wage boosts arc written inlo existing contracts and some are in process Of negotiation. Steel executives arc saying thai the automatic wage boost July 1 calls for a price rise to meet it. How much of a price boost steel mills can make slick until demand improves nioie than it has of late It the big question. Big enough steel users holievr price hike Is coming to have boosted their orders this month to Entered u ond clua mtlr tl Uie pel offle. .1 Klaautti Fills. Ore , on Auut JO. 1906. under act of Congress. March I, 117 . SE.VICE8: ' ' associated press united press AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS i . . , .,. Set-ring Southern Oregon And Northern California A wage hike of around 25 cents an hour is coming Aug. 1 in the aluminum industry. And some ex ecutives are now warning that this cannot be met without a price increase too. Here also there is a question of naking a price hike stick. The aluminum companies were forced April 1 to cut the cost of pig from 26 cents a pound to 24 cents be cause the domestic demand for the metal had slackened and be cause Soviet aluminum was being sold in Europe at a lower level. There are new reports from England today that the Soviet Un ion and its satellites are again offering the metal there and on considerably better terms than the Americans and Canadians 8re. And some American importers find European aluminum cheaper than American even after paying the ocean freight. Auto wage negotiations are sty mied at the moment. But the companies have offered to extend the expired contracts for two more years. These have built in annual wage increases as well as cost of living pay boosts when the gov ernment index rises far enough. The auto union wants even more than this. y Whatever new contract is final ly negotiated is seems most likely that some wage increase will be included. And what happens to car prices then? The government has been, hand ing out pay increases too. J he armed services will get S76 mil lion dollars a year more. Postal employes will get 265 million and Congress is in process of approv ing 542 million dollars a year more for other federal employes. While this adds to the federal deficit and in that sense is infla tionary, like the other wage in creases it has its silver lining for businessmen. Already they are eyeing as sales targets what is left of this $1,383,000,000 more fed- era! pay after taxes are met. One inflationary factor that seems certain now is the rise in government spending, to be fi nanced on borrowed money The Treasury deficit in the new fiscal year about to start is ex pected to reach or top 11 billion dollars. This means that the gov ernment will be pumping into the economy by its spending some 11 billion dollars more than it will be taking out by taxing. It was out of this , sort of gov ernment spending the war and postwar years that the seeds of the inflation in the 1940s and 50s were sown. Itrnimvasiiied? By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) - Maybe we're being brainwashed. Nikita Khrushchev, full of tricks, is working on us overtime. Time was, in the not so olden days, when nations did business through formal notes and stiff, polite and frigid diplomatic visits. This had its usefulness: a nation which wanted to feel dignified or superior could keep on doing so. It was pretty much against the rules to get a rock through the front window or a palsy-walsy shout across the back fence. There's no doubt this country for a long time felt superior to tho Soviet Union. Then Nikita Khrushchev bounced in, too round and fat for a stuffed shirt. Pretly soon, with his speeches and statements broadcast to the world, he began to drum it into the world's consciousness that the Soviet Union was anyone's equal. Just as a nudge, in case there was still doubt, the Soviets shot up their Sputniks. The past few months are a pret ty good example of how the So Poqo WOf N'WOOPBOtV, I HJAT TMg iMilcTS ASg cWWA I THB TICK, wouto G J iMesiT TH6 Ci.P I Btev asuSto s ve as anan otvtoss his own I ( WOW COv f All.

WOuv-PNT p-V woop vCKt(rAr ba chano-i? viets threw the old-fashioned rule book out the window. Khrushchev's running-mate, the then Premier Bulganin, last De cember dashed off a note to Pres ident Eisenhower, proposing a summit conference. Then, without politely waiting for this country to reveal the con tents, the Soviets made the letter public. They made a summit confer ence look simple. It was a we're-all-members-of-the-same-club kind of note. The Soviets not only made them selves look like jolly peacclovers but got the idea across to the rest of the world, no matter what the effect here. To make matters worse: before Eisenhower answered this first letter, Bulganin wrote him anoth er. It's been that way ever since: letter after letter. When Khrushchev managed to push Bulganin aside and took his placa as premier, he borrowed his pen too and kept on writing to Eisenhower. But the Soviet method towards this country can be staled sim ply: keep 'em off balance. Khru shchev mixes his pilches. At one time he writes or talks togetherness; at another time, in a speech somewhere or at a cock tail party, he calls us warmong ers. He talks one time of peaceful coexistence and another of com munism's taking over the world. All the letters and statements manage to get broadcast or re ported. Pretty soon, having hopped over the formal diplomatic barriers, the Soviets had forced Eisenhow er to write letters to them. If he didn't, it would be just so much more propaganda gravy for the Soviets. There can't be much doubt now that everyone, inside or out side the United States, is adjusted to the idea the Soviets are etfual to this country, and in some ways superior. In missiles, for example For ' a man like Secretary of State Dulles, who has spent most of his life in formal diplomacy, this Soviet method of slap-'cm-on-the-back and kick-'em-in-the-pants must get disturbing. As long ago as last Jan. 10 at his news conference Dulles com plained about the Bulganin letter writing to Eisenhower. He said the Soviets are using the channols of communications between the heads of government as a means of what might be called propaganda techniques rather than to use them seriously, as It seems to us befits messages between heads of governments given the 'serious slate of inter national affairs." Women Only By MARY PRIME United Press International Supermarket clerks say that shopping brings out the worst in women. A survey of the male clerks show they believe women leave their manners at home with their glasses when they go to the super market. The clerks said bringing t h e glasses, and the manners, might help speed the shopping chore and make it pleasantcr for all con cerned. One clerk said he thought all women are nearsighted be cause the gals stop in front of a display of food, then ask where ihcy can find what is directly in front of them. The men who work in the gro ceries also accused shopper of being "woman drivers" with the shopping cars. They said shoppers insist on pushing the carts down the middle of the aisles, causing traffic Jams between the shelves SUBSCRIPTION RATtS ( U0NTH , , u J MONTHS 'ZZ. tM 1 'l" m MAn- I MONTH 1.50 4 months im i year ua.oo The survey found the worst side of feminine loveliness pops up at the check - out lines. The men seemed most annoyed with the shopper who puts her shopping cart in line while she dashes off to complete her selections. The clerks were also annoyed with the persons pushing well -filled .carts who refuse to change places in line with those with small orders. The men had much more to say about the worst in women, but no body has checked their shopping habits lately. , Let's fac4 it, the chemise is here to stay for a while. So, as long as you're out of step out of a chemise you might as well pick the sack that looks the best on you. Manufacturer Larry Aldrich sug gests that you choose a two -piece chemise with an overblouse to hide a short, squat figure. He said a bloused chemise will equal ize wide hips and a flat chest, and open front bodice will help minimize wide hips and a full bosom, and a split-level silhouette will conceal a front bulge with a sash or bow at the front hipline. Better check your lighting be fore you hire a baby sitter. A court in Rutland, Vermont, recently awarded $1,000 to a baby sitter who suffered injuries when she fell in the house. . The jury ruled the parents should have kept the passageway well-lighted and in good repair be fore they left Mrs. Blanche'Grang- to care for their youngster. A professor at Washington State College warns, that modern dating customs and what she calls the itch to get hitched" tend to make couples poor marriage partners. Mrs. Florence Diesman said the superficial banter during courtship prevents the couple from getting to know each other. The professor, who teaches English said, "A girl is encouraged to be the cute little dish" with a fabulous line , who makes a good dancing partner rather than a real individual. Mrs. Diesman challenged today's woman to become an intelligent, well-informed person. She said to day's society demands that a wom an be prepared to do more than dry diapers and scrub floors. Cat I'roblem By ELLIS RALL LINCOLN, Nebraska (UPI) When the dogs are away, the cats will play. That is the case here In Lin oln, Nebraska, where canines aie literally in the doghouse, and the cats are cutting up. The Lincoln Humane Society has the dog population well under con trol. But the cat problem has in creased to a point where many res idents are joining with the humane society in protest. The humane society recently or dered a crackdown on loose dogs. Owners o wandering pups are now hauled into court and fined for vi olating a city ordinance., The tighter enforcement of the dog ordinance has produced re sults. So far this year, only 85 dog bite complaints have been re ceived by the humane society. But while the dogs have been put away, the cats have been play ing, but a little too roughly-; to suit Harold Deacon, humane so ciety superintendent. He says his ottice has processed 26 cases of cat bite already this year. Deacon appeared before the city council recently and urged coun cilmcn to adopt an ordinance which would force cats to be li censed. Deacon told the council that 42 per cent of the calls to the society are complaints about cats. The mayor of Lincoln listened intently to the director and said, "something must be worked out for the humane society or the cat problem will be dumped jnto the city's lap." Mayor Bennett Martin then in structed his legal ' staff to draft a new ordinance which would con trol the cat problem. When a cat licensing ordinance was introduced a year ago, there was considerable opposition. The loudest protests were not against licensing but a requirement that cats wear an identification collar or have an ear tattoo for' identi fication purposes. The new ordinance will get around those objections by provid ing for photographic identification of all city cats. Deacon says he will keep a pic ture file on registered cats and it he has his way the cats will be "mugged" just like criminals. There is considerable specula tion that the photographic identifi cation of cats will prove entirely unsatisfactory. j They'll Do It Every Time -" By Jimmy Hatlo "7 THIS IS A SWELL CLUB VWJ BELON& y 77 ii I f TO, NEWT-LOOK--1 W4NN4 JOIN ) UHWEU."OK4V, .

(AP)-The grave of King Neptune, the nation s most famous hog of World War II which helped bring home the ba con for Uncle Sam, is to be moved to make way for a new road. The hog, which has a monument over its grave in Mng Neptune Park near Anna, was auctioneer off countless times for 19 million dollars at war bond rallies from 1942-46. The red and white porker was given to the Navy recruiting sta tion at Marion, 111., in 1942 as a mascot. However, Don Lingle of the' station had other ideas. He named it King Neptune and of fered it for sale at a war bond auction. The buyer returned the pig and Lingle toured southern Illinois, selling and reselling the animal to war bond buyers. There were so many demands for the' hog's appearance, Lingle turned it over to a sponsoring aeencv. During the next four years King Neptune was featured at hundreds of war Dona rallies. When the prize porker appeared headed for the stockyards, Lingle intervened and regained posses sion. He and friends set up a life time pension for the hog. It died in 1950 at age 9 and was buried in royal style. The Highway Department has agreed to level off an area along side the proposed new road for reburial of King Neptune.
