I YEAR M OO Lightning SI onus By FLORENCE JENKINS Old-time foresters of this area fay that this month's lightning storms are the worst they can re member since the bad year of 1337. We've been lucky, so far as our timber stands are concerned, to have rain accompany most of the pyrotechnics put on by nature. Actually, on a national average only about five per cent of the forest fires arc caused by light ning and the remaining 115 per cent are the result of the carelessness of people. In Oregon, only 411 per cent of fires in the woods are man-caused That figure permits no encour agement or jubilation, however, as man-caused fires are responsible for more than 95 per cent of the forest loss through fire in Ore gon. It's sort of a case of 'you can't win for losing.' The Forest Service and Klam ath Forest Protective Association have a network of lookouts manned on a 24-hour-a-day basis during the fire season which can quick ly locate lightning-caused fires. Their superlative efficiency is ev idenced by the small percentage of damage done to Oregon for ests by lightning fires during the last few years. A carelessly tossed cigarct or match, however, can burn quite an area before the volume of smoke makes the fire visible to a lookout. Valuable timber can be quickly destroyed by a small warming fire that is let get out of control or left before it is en tircly extinguished. It is time again for the annual plea to motorists, campers, pic nickers and lishcrmen to make It' a ipatler of individual respon sibility to protect our forest as sets from fire. Wonder if wet matches would be the answer. Ilitdio I'Jils By HAL BOYLE STAMFORD, Conn. (API-Thc Iron Curtain seems more easily pierced hy air than on the ground At least radio amotcuri of the United Stales and Soviet Russia find it simpler to communicate wilh each other on a person-to person level than do political leaders of the great rival powers. Ham radio station operators in the two countries strike up cither wave friendships freely, apparent ly with no governmental objection from either side. Perhaps a typical example of these new adventures in interna tional understanding Is the rela tionship between Frank Enge and Leo Shiskin.. Enge is supervisor of research and development for the Ameri can Machine & Fnundary Co.'s electronics laboratory here. Shis kin is an electrical engineer in Moscow. Their friendship started Aug. 11, 1958, when they first made con tact via ham radio. After that they quickly became pen pals. Leo asked Frank lor copies of American radio journals, and sent him copies of Russian radio journals also some Russian classical phonograph records lor Frank's wife. Frank congratulated Leo on the Russian scientific achievement when the first sputnik went aloft, and Leo replied in kind when the U.S. sent up Explorer I, adding: "Let our slates to be tggether on Ihe earth as our man-made moons are in the 'sky." That was Ihe nearest Ihe Rus sian ever came to a political re mark. Enge said. Shortly after their initial and only radio contact, Leo Shiskin lost his amateur license "lor in fraclions ol the rules." but he wrote Frank: 'My absence in Ihe air has no relations lo our mailing.." However, he never did explain the nature ol Ihe violations lhat did cost him his license. Leo wrote lh.il he made about Il'ihi rubles a munlh Mhe -.ulile is otlic-ially pegged at 2S mils'. "He also said that he only hail to pay So rubles a month rent." Enge recalled, "bill he had In share a communal apartmrnt with lour other families. The apartment had only one bath room, one kitchen and one tele phone "Leo also wrote thai he had In pay a fourth of his salary :iihi rubles a month in income taxes, and that a suit cost hurt from 4ik lo 1.700 rubles. He said an old car would cost him H.tm rubles, a new one fin noo rubles." Frank urote back thai his own income was about Sl.niM a month, lhat he had a 5-room, J-b.itli apatlment and owned luo cars. "This comparison may have made Leo unhappy, hut so far he hasn't said so." remarkrd Ence willing. Enge eslimaled that perhaps 12,000 of some Imi.ooii American radio hams have made contact with Russian amateurs. He esti mated the number of Russian hams at 2,000. He himself has contacted radio amateurs in 15 ol the Soviet republics. Askea how he feels about Leo Shiskin, Enge said: "I have a lot of sympathy . I admire the wartime sacrifices of the Russian people, and feel they are trying very hard to make a better life for themselves. I don't feel that way about their government. "I think if Ihe Russian people knew the American people, and wc knew more about them, there would be no need for an Iron Curtain." CoiifiiM'rf Search By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP)-The So viet Communists, like Ihe Oevil, have been credited with diaboli cal cunning in planning every move. They look now like men who have been in a confused search for a foreign policy for five years. Joseph Slalin was neither mod ern nor subtle. Ho could think on ly in terms of violence. This pro vided him with a 'simple philoso phy at home and abroad. He used terror to keep the Soviet people and the satellites in line. As for Communist expansion, he thought in Hie crudest terms: push where you think you can get away with it. For instance, Ihe war in Korea, the pressure on Iran, Tur key, Greece, and the Berlin blockade. But what he achieved was what he wanted least: a solid Western alliance against the Soviet Union and a view by neutrals lhat the Soviet Union was a symbol of the bogeyman. He had outlived his lime. He died in 11153 at the dawn of a new age: the atomic and hydro gen bombs and intercontinental missiles. His heirs had to accom modate themselves to both the new age and new Indies to offset the damage he had done. To win over the neutrals, Nikitn Khrushchev sought lo give the ap pearance of a benevolent Soviet Union freed at last from Ihe ter ror f of purges and violent ad vances. As an example of Ihe new d;iv wilh Ihe exception of Secret po lice chief Lavrenti Beria who was execuled Khrushchev's rivals. like Mololov and Malenkov, were simply purged from, Iheir jobs. Unshot, they were banished to Ihe provinces. And the Soviet Union began eco nomic help to the backward coun tries. At the same time Khru shchev had to find a way to soften the West and split its alliances by giving the appearance ol a new, peaceful, friendly Soviet Union. Hence his denunciation in 195(1 of Slalin as a murderer and his sug gestionundreamed of in Stalin's lime and anathema then and now old-line Stalinists that there ire dilterent roads lo socialism meaning communism. This was intended lo woo back Yugoslavia, give the appearance of relaxation of Soviet control over the satellites, encourage Western nations lo show less hos tility lo their own. native, home grown Communist parties. Meanwhile, Khrushchev in per son bounced around Europe and Asia, talking good will. Bill all this, as it turned out, was not so much a well though! out policy as experiment, and one which turned out ruinously. The Poles and Hungarians, tak ing advantage of what they thought was relaxation, revoked. The latter had lo he crushed by the Soviet army. Yugoslavia re fused to be wooed back into the Soviet fold. In short, the policy failed, and doubly so: the Western alliance did not disintegrate under Khru shchev's blandishments and unrest in the satellites continued, even though Khrushchev did make some progress with the neutrals Apparently the Soviet Commu nists became frighlcned by the Khrushchev experiment. The purge was restored with the exe cution of Hungarian Premier Imrc Nagy and some of his lieutenants. This wanton act of murder shocked the world, including the neutrals. No doubt if was intended as a warning to any would-be reb els in the satellites. In one foul execution, the Soviet communists ui.did much of their work since 1053. It proved what only the absent- minded could, have forgotten, that the Communists are political can nibals who will feed on them selves and all others who get in their way. Khrushchev and his friends who by their taclics have just about wrecked any chance of a summit meeting appear at the moment to be in search of a new foreign pol icy. v Product By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (API-A new prod uct hacked, by a $100,000 promo tion gamble is helping a Massa chusetts firm outwit -the recession. Faced wilh the tendency of ojder women to make their pres ent foundation garments do during the siump, a Chicago firm has started its sales curve upward again by nudging the younger set into Ihem earlier. One auto maker is jacking up Ihe selling record of dealers and salesmen by as much as 50 per cent wilh a new training center. And another car builder is fight ing the foreign influx by joining them with its own European made vehicles, boosting sales by 136 per cent. The list of companies who are learning lo live wilh the recession and like it grows longer each day. Some sell luxuries, some neces sities. Some are big and some are small. Here are just a few ex amples: The 28 store Davega chain says sales gains of up to 72 per cent over 1057 are being recorded by outlets selling appliances, sporting goods and clothing at or slightly above cost with no down payment. and the first payment three months after purchase. Chrysler has been training salesmen at a new center at Rye. N.Y., for a month on sales and service techniques and reports some of them have increased Iheir records by 58 per cent. rord reports its English Ford line, thanks to a new distribution pattern, has chalked up a 136 per cent retail sales gain in the lirsl five months of the vear. Lawn-Boy of Lamar, Mo., says Texas motel owner uses its power mower part of the time to cut three acres of grass and the rest of the time to pull a cart heaped high wilh patrons' luggage to pare bellhop costs. The Tile Council of America says it's investing $700.noo this year in advertising and promotion and has opened a $500,000 re search center. It says that during the recession 25 manuafcturers have come up with 50 new di signs for tiles, helping them lo lick Ihe recession. The Picture and Frame Insti tute says consumer buying is hooming because many house wives are redecorating lhat way instead of buying new furniture or repainting. The American Rack Merchan disers Institute predicts a M per cent gain in sales of nonfeod ptems in the nation's supermar kets this year. But the kitchens of Sara Lee Chicago, say gross sales of luxury baked products are up 27 per cent this year. And Pfaelzer Brothers of Union Stockyards. Chicago, claim good sales for a package of U. S. prime cuts of five different types of steak and a sirloin roast for $95. Perma-Lift, Chicago, complains that women are cutting their in ventories of foundation garments, but says its drive to get teen-agers into bras and girdles earlier is paying off in fatter sales.
