ITO 8EVVICEH: ASSOCIATED PRJGRB UWTTTD PRifla AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATTON8 Serving- Southern Oregon And Northern California 5 LAP EM DOWN' "LAYMAN'S GUIDE TO ROCKETS AND MISSILES" 5 Fill lrposnl By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API-Nolhing It lonelier or more futile than a proposal that members o( Con gress pass a law to police them selves. Sen. Richard Neuherger ID-Ore) has ollcred a bill to do that. You can kiss it goodby. Yet members of Congress par ticularly Republicans running for reelection have been among the harshest critics of Sherman Ad ams, President Eisenhower's No.l assistant, for doing favors for his gift-giving friend Bernard Gold fine. Neuberger, who makes no npnl ogies for Adams, has said: "The Inconsistency between the rules which Congress with a great show of righteousness applies to exec utive officials and its failure to apply identical standards to its own members undoubtedly has re fleeted adversely on the repulation of Congress in the public mind." He suggests: "The doctor ought to have to swallow some of his own medicine." His bill would compel members of Congress and high government officials once a year to file a re port on the sources and amount of each Item of income or gifls Including speaking or writing fees and expenditures that exceed $100. and a statement of assets and liabilities and dealings in se curities or commodities during the previous year. Neuherger is just the latest of d number of liberal senators, who, over recent years, have suggested that Congress set up by law some ethical standards covering con duct of its own members. Earlier this year, while Con gress was poking around the ac Ivities of members of the Feder al Communications Commission, Neuherger wrote in the New York Times: "If federal commissioners are to be pilloried for accepting hacienda suites at Palm Springs or airplane tickets to Palm Beach, how can senators and representa tives continue profitable associa tions with law firms retained by banks, railroads, labor unions and utility companies?" He's said more this monlh, bolh before and after the disclosures about Adams: "Under existing law no official or employe of the executive agencies can leave his public post and press any pending private matter beforo his old bu reau or department beforo two years have elapsed. "However, no such restraint ap plies to members of Congress who quit the House or Senate. They can act as lobbyists or represent atives for privalo intcresls imme diately, even on questions or is sues pending before cnmimllccs on which they recently served." Neuherger said further: "Com mittees of Congress require Cab inet appointees of the President to divest themselves of slock hold ings in corporations that have business dealings with the federal departments which these appoint ees will administer. 'Yet memhers of the Senale and House can own shores or partner ships in businesses that arc dirrcl ly alfected hy legislation which these senators or represent alives are drafting or voting upon." Members of Congress, to gel more money for their expenses, make speeches for perhaps as much as SI.OOO a talk before groups virtually interested in leg islalion pending before Congress. Members of Congress get elect ed with the help of campaign funds fattened by contributions from labor unions, distilleries, sawmills, gas and oil corporations. power companies, airlines and mines, all with interest in legis lation before Congress. Throughout all his arguments Neuherger keeps raising the ques tion: "Who is going to police the policeman'.1" The answer based on what Congress has done to all previous suggest inns like Neu- berger's is: no one. worst is over. The first half of the year is com ing to an end with 54 million per sons looking for work, more than 7 per cent of the labor force. In dus! rial production is around 14 per cent lower than a year ago, and the total dollar value of the nation's output of goods and serv ices is off 4 per cent from its peak. The cost of living after months of steady climbing is 3.3 per cent above a year ago. But midyear also finds most of the farm belt feeling fine at the result of higher prices and good crop weather. Ana siock market prices arc around their high point for the year, thus reassuring many how ever unreliable that barometer of the economy's future may prove to be. The growing ranks of the bears show that many question the foresight of the bulls. Consumer spending is holding up pretty well in view of the drop in incomes for many persons and the tendency of others to save more than usual. Savings creased 5'i billion early this year lo reach a record 268 billion dol lars at the end of March a tidy nestegg indeed. Borrowing is easier and less painful now that the Federal Re serve Board has made money plenliful and interest rates lower lo cushion the recession and prof fer a spark for recovery. Yet neither business nor con sumers are borrowing as much as formerly. Corporate plans for spending on plant and equipment still contract and it may be well into next year before that main stay of an economy reappears in lorce. consumers ore paying up old debts and going slower taking on new ones, especially for new cars. Home building is perking up a Utile. And highway construction is on mo upgrade. The first half of the year has seen hopes of lax cuts wax and then wane as the federal deficit and debt start to soar. wage-price turmoil centers on the contrnctless auto workers and llio debate over whether to raise sleel prices and how much. Steel is enjoying an upturn in demand, if temporary. But copper. lead and zinc so far look only to pos sible relief to come from buying (or the U.S. stockpile. Most stockholders are learning that earnings are declining be causo of rising operating costs and, In many cases, because of shrinking sales volume. Where dividends are being maintained its as a tribute to past and belter years or in anticipation of better times ahead.

Exports of American goods have been dropping, idling many work ers and culling corporate profits. inrt Ihe experts are still debating Ihe meaning and effect of the Night abroad of more than one billion dollars worth of gold from I'ort Knox. stock list will perform according to tradition and stage a summer rally. Anyhow it's summer. And sum mer brings vacations, use of lots of gasoline, heavy sales of sports clothing, weddings with bridal and home material spending, and many other things that help the consumer side of the economy. But what about the other side, the heavy industries. There still are unanswered questions: What's the prospect of a rise in steel prices on July 1, the day the steel workers get an auto matic wage increase? United States Steel, the world's biggest sleel maker, is going lo take a second look at the price situation. It may postpone the an ticipated advance. If and when a rise in sleel comes it may be less than the five dollars a ton that had been anticipated. And some company other than United Slates Steel may make the first move. What about (he railroads? The Senate moved (his week (o elimi nate Ihe excise taxes on trans portation. The House recently kept those excises in its lax bill. There will be a conference and the bets are the rails will win. Then that segment of industry may move forward a few more notches. Its operations already have shown signs of improvement. What about inventories? Inven tories have been Ihe bane of in dustry all through the recession. We have consumed more raw ma terial than we have produced be cause industry was working off its inventories. Three big industries have made good progress toward culling the inventory stockpile. They are steel, where inventories are said to be down to a new low for three years, Ihe autos, where inventories are getting much less burdensome, and the oil industry, where the inventory of gasoline is below a year ago. Many other lines have hacked away at inventories, mak ing for a big recovery in produc tion lo fill the void in the not distant future. What about the new model autos? Thai's (lie billion-dollar question. If those new, dolled up models calch on. (he recession can he written off with a big crayon. The auto industry and many other lines, allied or otherwise, arc bank ing on the auto boom to spark Ihe recovery with a burst of speed that ranks along with the high speed, big, high-compression cars lo come off the assembly lines. What about gold? Should we worry now that the nation has lost some one and a third billion dollars worth of our gold to for eign countries so far (his year? Nothing lo worry about at all, say Ihe banking experts. It's a good thing for foreign nations ano will benclit us, too, they assert. Anyhow, there will soon be a slop to (he outflow of the gold because at this time of year, European nations are busy making interna tional payments and may have to sell back some of their gold to us.

But the economists say no. no. Musn't get too enthusiastic. There is a prospect of a summer lull before we begin lo pickup in real earnest. Ilnwn in Wall Street, things are dillerent. The experts hold that ocn though the slnik market is high, there's a good chance (lie But what finally became an American tradition didn't arrive on the scene until WS3. That's when the frankfurter was intro duced to the roll. According to the American Meal Institute, the modern hot dog was born in St. Louis when a sausage peddler figured it was time he slopped losing money. Seems he furnished gloves to his customers so they wouldn't get their hands greasy while eating his sausages He talked to a baker and came up with a long bread roll to fit the sausage. The term hot dog is credited to a sports cartoonist in New York. Up to then, the little sau sage usually was called "Red hots" or wieners. A peddler at the Polo Grounds was hawking wein ers and just to be different, he was calling them "Dachshund sail sages." Get your Dachshund sausag es, he yelled. They re red hot. Next day, the cartoonist drew a cartoon featuring a talking sau sage, and he labelled it "hot dog," because, according to legend, he couldn't spell "Dachshund." Frankfurters today range in size from the one-bite edition served at cocktail parties to the 12-inch monstors sold at amusemen! parks. Standard size is five and one-half inches long and three quarters of an inch in diameter, about 60 per cent beef and 40 per cent pork. The average American has been eating 55 hot dogs a year, but consumption keeps going up every year. The meat institute figures we'll chew on more than one bil lion pounds of frankfurters this year, about 60 hot dogs per person. Back in the thirties, the hot dog became a diplomatic weapon. That was when England's King George was visiting President Roosevelt. At a Hyde Park picnic, his majesty was photographed eat ing a hot dog, and a stale depart ment official commented: "That shot is worth five battle ships to British diplomacy." Hot lloii Tiuio Summertime is hot dog time in the United Stoles, between now and Labor Day, Americans will eat 2.'i million frankfurters a day or two and a half billion in the next three months.

Wynne entitled, "Teachers' Rights," June 20, it should be pointed out as stated in the article that teachers can and do serve in the Stale Legislature at the pres ent time. The purpose of the Initiative Amendment to the Constitution is lo permit teachers who are legis lators to return to their leaching positions without resigning from the State Legislature. In this manner teachers would receive the $1,200 for tho two-year service as a leg islator Ihe same as other legis lators. If a teacher must resign before he resumes teaching, he must return one-half of the salary which he has earned. The point as to how the teach er could work both as a leacher and legislator at Ihe same time is easily answered since a leach er who is serving in the Legislature would be on leave of absence from Ihe school district, without pay. When the legislative session ad journs, Ihe teacher would resume his school duties the same as oth er memhers of the Legislature re sume their primary occupations. While a school teacher is on leave serving in the Legislature, the school district would secure a sub stitute leacher lo serve in his place. Out of 16,000 teachers in the slate of Oregon, the probable number that would ever serve in (he Legislature would be very minute. To answer Mr. Wynne's two ques tions, a school leacher on leave would receive no pay from his school district. The school district would ordinarily hire a substitute at a lower salary than a regular leacher would recieve. Regarding pressure by local school districts or by the State Board of Higher Education, 1 am quite sure thai the leaching profession would ade qualely handle this problem. The recent I.yle Thomas, who served as a legislator (or a number of terms in Ihe House of Represents lives, proved to be one of Ore gon's outstanding legislators. With out doubt, there are other fine educators in the slate who could perform a real service in the lesis lativc branch of the slale govern mrnl. The moral and ethical char acteristics o( those in Ihe teaching profession are as fine as those ol any other prolessional group. C. W.

WATER,, WICHITA II, KANSAS Final County Budget Fixed By Committee Klamath County Budget Com mittee Friday made a few minor changes and then finalized a 1058 59 county budget calling for $2,639, 927 in expenditures. The amount, as previously re ported, is a hike of $14,381 from budgeted expenses of the fiscal year now ending. The new budget requires that $1,679,046 in taxes be raised. Based or. present assessed values, Ihis would mean a millage tax rate of 21.9 mills or 2.1 mills more thaivl- Ihe 19.8 mills required to raise taxes of $1,012,305 in '57-'58. Changes made Friday did not in volve totals, but merely the trans fer of certain amounts from one budget category to another. From the $122,000 budgeted for addition to the fund for a new courthouse, the committee took $2,700 for a new library staff clerk. It took another $2,000 and put it in the general fund to pay for mis cellaneous medical and ambulance services in the county. The committee also transferred $200 from the courthouse building fund and gave County Treasurer Kva Cook a $200 yearly raise, which will bring her salary to ($4.8(10. Committeemen turned next lo the general emergency fund and transferred from it $2,500 to buy new stock weighing scales for the fair board. Fraternal Order To Host Club BURNEY Roy T.
