FACE 6 A HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY. JUNE 12. 1M8 FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKTNS Managlhg Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor Traffic Problem By FLOYD L. WYNNE Main Street traffic U still piling up at the intersection of Main and South Sixth Street at certain times despite all efforts to correct the situation. As I have reported in the past, the State Motor Vehicle Code now permits left turns into a one-way street after stopping when the red signal indicator is showing. However, this fact has not been given great publicity by the state highway department, and many motorists are not aware of it. Therefore, they simply wait out the red light and then are unable to turn on the green light because of the oncoming traffic. The net result is piled up traffic. Let me quote from a recent let. ter from G. S. Paxson, assistant state highway engineer. We in quired whether or not it would be possible to erect signs at this in tersection informing the motorists that they could turn onto the one way street after stopping when the light was red. The reply said in part, "As you are aware, the State Motor Ve hicle Code permits left turns into a one-way street after stopping when a red signal indication is showing. At one time a number of years ago such turns were per mitted only at those intersections where signs specifically permitted the turn. Subsequently, the law was changed to allow the turns at all intersections where signs specifically prohibiting the turn were not in existence. "It is felt that if signs were to be installed at specific intersections under the - present 1 a w, there would be grave danger that the motoring public would soon reach the belief that the turns were per mlssible only it those intersections where the signs were in existence This would defeat the purpose of the present law and, in addition, the installation of signs at all in tersections would be extremely ex pensive. "For this reason, the State High way Department no longer uses the signs and they are not con tained in our present manual. It is suggested that in lieu of the sign installation, an attempt be made to educate local drivers through newspaper releases It all boils down to two things which must be hammered home to all motorists if we are to solve the congestion that develops at this one intersection particularly. Those two points are: (1) Mo torists planning to turn off Main onto South Sixth should take the lane next to the middle of the street, and If the light Is red, turn right after stopping, or if the light is green and traffic permits turn right, and (2) motorists ap proaching the intersection who plan to go on through down Main Street should take the outside lane nearest the curb so as not to hold up traffic wishing to turn left at the corner. It these two points are followed, the majority of the traffic conges tion at this important intersection could he eliminated. So. next time you find yourself in a tralfic jam on Main Street you can almost be certain it's be cause some motorist is not fol lowing proper procedure at this corner. Agreement . By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (APi-The im pression left by President Eisen hower's three-day talk with Brit ish Prime Minister Macmillan was that of two old friends nodding "yes, sir" to each other on every thing. They showed no sign of dis agreement. At the same time they didn't appear to have solved anything, either. But the meeting hadn't been billed as a world- shaker in the first place. But it was one of those things in which, behind the privacy of the White House walls, one man may have been a real influence on the other. In this case Mac millan perhaps inlluenred Eisen hower s thinking on Red China. That might explain the startling way in which Secretary of State Dulles suddenly said Red China should he included in any arrange ment to police a bun on nuclear testing to prevent cheating. Almost a year ato the prime ministers of in British Common wealth nations, meeting in Lon don, urged that Red China, as a potential nuclear power, be asked to join in any disarmament agree ment or any agreement on end ing nuclear tests. But this government not nrilv refuses to recognize the Red Chi nese as the government of main land China but opposes member ship of them In the t nited Na tions.

What Eisenhower and Khrush. chev have agreed on is this: that American and Russian scientists with the British, French, Poles and Czechoslovaks sitting in should meet to seek some accord on how a nuclear testing ban could be policed. Macmillan began his talks with Eisenhower and Dulles Monday. Later that day the White House said the President's latest letter to Khrushchev would be made public Tuesday morning. It made no mention of Red China. But within about an hour Dulles was telling his news conference that to make a ban on nuclear testing effective inspection posts would have to be set up in Red China. So, while that had been the British position for a year, it didn't become the American posi tion until Macmillan visited the White House. Yesterday Macmil lan said Red China should be in cluded in any agreement on ban ning nuclear tests. Before Red China agreed to in spection posts inside her borders, she might insist on admittance to the U. N. That would require American recognition of the Red regime as legitimate. So the Dulles-Macmillan state ments on Red China may be the opening of the first door to letting her into the U. N. and giving her the international recognition she wants If this turns out to be a result of Macmillan's visit to Washing ton It will, in the long run, prove to have been very far-reaching al though at the moment it may seem hardly more than a minor episode. Xnt Shared By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (AP)-The United Slates Treasury's elation over its success this week in stretching out the maturity of the federal debt isn t shared today by all in the financial community. The policy is being watched closely by corporate treasurers. school boards and city fathers who may be wanting to tap the investment market for funds. Al ready they've sold a record break ing volume of new securities this year. Now Uncle Sam Is becom ing a bigger competitor in this market. The Treasury's aim, however, wins the praise of many on the sidelines for Its long term good effects on the money market that conglomerate thing that can de termine how much interest you'll have to pay if you want to buy on time or get a mortgage, and even can determine whether there'll be money available if your commu nity wants to build a new school or your firm wants to borrow to build a new plant. The Treasury holds that it isn't upsetting the investment market nor mopping up investment money pools for long. What the Treasury wants to do and what it succeeded in doing this week is to get more of the federal debt into long term bonds so that it won't have to be going into (he money market every lit tle while to refund short term is sues as they come due. This week the Treasury sold one billion dollars in 27-year bonds for cash and refunded some 7l bil lion of maturing issues into new B years 8 months bonds. This al- lowed the Treasury to stretch out Pogo V5U TVM9 JUS' N t I9 flAl wnrKtii-ruiwrutoot-rut Mull c- Tm MATMlMATiCAI. OtPT.

Last week the average was 58 months. The Treasury isn't out of the financial woods by any means The Treasury secretary's fiscal problems go on and on. Before the end of the year he is expected to seek 8 billion dollars more in cash to meet the deficit that will mount fast in the second half of the year. Also next month U'4 billion dol lars of securities mature and must be refunded either by getting the holders to take new issues in ex change or by paying out cash. In September 4 billions more have been called for redemption. Be fore the year is over some 12 billion dollars more must be re funded in all of these trips to the mon ey market the Treasury likely will take care not to dry up the reser voir of investment money and thus upset the borrowing clans of slates and communities and of corporations. Also it will have to walk a tight rope lest it upset another adminis tration aim to bring down long term interest rates as a counter to the recession. The danger here is that as the supply of long term government securities in the money market increases it may exceed demand to the point of forcing down the market value of outstanding bonds. This Increases their yield since you get fixed interest but have to pay less for the bond to get It. As yields go up on out standing bonds, so do the interest rates that would-be borrowers must offer to get the new money they want to hire. Other factors besides Treasury borrowing enters into this a drop in the demand for business loans, the Federal Reserve Sys tern's policy of keeping a lot of money available. The Treasury feels that because of these other factors it can tap the long term investment market without competing too sharply with business or other govern ments and without driving inter est rates up again. A lot of per sons will be watching to see how successful it is. Tariff Problem By GEORGE J. MARDER United Press International Does it make so much difference what kind of trade bill is passed by Congress? The House is now winding up a furious debate over reciprocal trade which has seen the President inter vene twice at strategic moments. On paper, the fuss seems to be over who's going to protect Ameri can industries from injury through Itnporls, the Tariff Commission or the President of the United States The administration bill would give that responsibility to the Pres ident: the substitute so-called Simp son Bill would give it to members of a Tariff Commission. But the difference Is much more than personalities or where the power should lie. The real squabble is over whether tariff rates arc going to go up or come down For the standards which the Tar iff Commission applies to protec tion for American industry andth lion for American industry and those which the President can use are vastly dilferent. And they are different by present law. For example: Let's take a make believe case. Suppose an industry producing kazoos complains that cheap imports from cheap-labor countries are providing harmful competition. The Tariff Commission investi gates. If it finds American compan ies are hurting from the compel! tion Drovided hv the fnreipn Wn. zoos, then, under the Simpson bill, Mt I. TN to thi 97V MS iou.taxr SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER I MONTH .... MONTHS ... I YEAR I SO . t oo tlt.00 MAIL I MONTH I 1 SO i MONTHS 160 I YEAR 113.00 the so-called escape clause in re ciprocal trade pacts automatically comes into being. That means we get out from un der the treaty negotiated with the foreign country which allows the kazoos to come in at low tariffs. It means tariffs can be upped and even quotas imposed. In other words, the price of the foreign ka zoos would be upped so the domes tic firms wouldn't hurt from the competition. And that would be the only maj or standard used. But under the administration bill the Tariff Commission decision is only the beginning of the appeals procedure. Under it, the Tariff Commission would merely report a recommendation to the President. And the President then would in vestigate. He could find, for example, that if we don't allow country to send kazoos here, it won't be able to buy peanuts from the United States And if we sell more peanuts to the other country than they sell kazoos, the President could decide that, in the interest of the whole country, we shouldn't raise the tariff of ka zoos. He could overrule the Tariff Commission. You see, the President by law applies a different standard, which might still leave the industry in volved hurting, but which the Pres ident believes is more in the inter est of the entire nation. The President also could invoke this kind of a standard: Suppose he found out that kazoos were the has ic export of the foreign country. that to cut them would cause tur moil in that country, perhaps bring ing on a depression or opening the country to communism. Or he could rule that some material we get from the country is important to our defense. For any reason in the general national interest, he could overrule the Tariff Commission, while the protectionist supporters argue if a firm is hurting from foreign competition it should get re lief, period. Sales Pitch By ROBERT SHORTAL United Press International The president of a New York ad vertising agency (BBD-i-O) re cently compared a proposal of mar riage to a piece of salesmanship. Charles Bower told a g r o u p of leading sales executives that their greatest sale was probably when they sold their wives on the idea of marrying them. But Bower's conception of a salesman's proposal is not exactly the soft music and moonlight va riety. As Bower said it: "If the average salesman courted his wife the way he courts prospects, he would have attracted her attention probably by tripping her." And the salesman would continue the marriage "sales pitch" with: Now listen carofully. I can see you are a smart girl and I want to tell you something that I don't tell most people." Bower continued: "1 am in rather limited supply, there are a lot of women after me. So, for one day only, I'm offering to marry you. ' But you 11 have to hurry, hurry, before I'm all gone." We wonder whether the salesman would have made the sale, and got the girl of his choice.

A company spokesman said Wednesday the Civil Aeronautics Administration de-icing tests, just completed, were speeded up by use of the special device. Natural icing conditions some times are hard to find, so Boeing decided to give nature a helping hand. The device extends five feet in front of the engine intake and consists of 14 parallel bars equipped with 109 spray nozzles. They shoot water at the engine from two lfiO-gallon tanks in the plane. The bars resemble Vene tian blinds. At high altitudes the spray quickly turned to ice on the cowl ing. The de-icing system, feeding hot air from the engine to the inside of the cowling, was turned on when the ice became one fourth of an inch thick. The ice melted in less than 30 seconds. One television and two motion picture cameras were mounted on the framework of the device to check results of this phase of the CAA certification tests. A 21-inch TV set inside the plane monitored the action. Fish, Wildlife Protection Eyed WASHINGTON (API - The Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee passed and sent to the Senate floor Wednes day two measures aimed at pro tecting fish and wildlife. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D- Wash), committee chairman, said one bill would require any branch of the federal government to con sult with the U.S. Fish and Wild life Service before altering fish or wildlife conditions through the construction of dams or canals or diversion of streams. The other measure would re quire approval of the secretary of interior and the Federal Power Commission of any power devel opment where fish and wildlife might be affected. Magnuson said the provisions of both bills parallel authority now granted the Corps of Engineers regarding supervision of navigable waters. U.S.A.F. GROUND OBSERVER CORP. DANCE Sat..

Cop Accused In Robbery DETROIT (AP)-A Detroit po liceman was accused today of be ing the paper-bag bandit who failed in three attempted bank holdups but staged four other rob beries, i Detroit Police Commissioner Edward S. Piggins identified the suspect as patrolman Marmion b Pollard. 29. Piggins said Pollard, father of four children and a member of the police force since 1952, con fessed after he was identified by John Baigrie, 32, manager of the Detroit Bank & Trust Co. An attempt to rob this bank was made last month. Baigrie said he wrestled with the bandit as he tried to flee the bank. He identified Pollard as the man he fought. Piggins said a paper bag dropped at the bank by the flee ing bandit had fingerprints which matched Pollard's. Pollard was arrested yesterday after another unsuccessful rob bery. Police said a bandit tried to rob a grocery but fled when a woman clerk began screaming. A car parked nearby was watched by detectives and when Pollard came to the car a few hours later he was arrested. Police said Pollard confessed both the bank and grocery rob bery attempts and admitted he tried to ror two other banks. They said Pollard told them he had been successful in robbing one market twice and two finance companies. The total loot was about $600.
