THURSDAY. JULY 3. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 5 A Steelworkers Pay Hiked; Mills Turning Out Less NEW YORK AP Thoe steel workers who are still on the job are getting more pay today than they did Monday. But the mills are turning out 4ess steel this week than last and may produce at a still lower rate before the sum mer ends. If so. layoffs may spread. Al ready about a third of the steel workers are idle. ' Users of steel, in the meantime, are wailing for the other shoe to drop a hike in the price of steel, If there is to be one. The price of this basic commodity affects the cost of making most of the durable goods you buy. The big debate is how much of an increase, if any, is justified, or how much can be made to stick in today's economic climate. The two extremes are: 1 those School Facts Clothes Size Revise Seen WASHINGTON (AP)-A 13-year effort to revise the standard sizes of women's clothing bore its first result Tuesday: A new breed of T-shirt that should fit milady to a tee. The Commerce Department and the National Knitted Outerwear Assn. announced that women's T- shirts henceforth will be manufac tured and labeled in accord with a new voluntary sizing standard. Based on scientific body meas urements of a representative sampling of women, the standards will be adopted later by some other segments of the women's ready-to-wear trade. Starting now with T-shirts, wom en will begin ordering items ac cording to their dress sizes. The purpose is to supply "the maximum number of women with good fitting clothes without the need for repeated try-ons and ex pensive alterations." A Commerce Department state ment said the standard can be applied to all women's garments with the possible exception of brassieres. It seems the size of a woman's bosom isn't neccssarilj related to her other measure ments. The new standard covers four classifications: Misses', women's, half-sizes (for shorter women), and juniors'. There also are three height groups tall, regular and short and three hip types slen der. average and full. . Thus a 14R minus would be a fize 14, regular height, slender hips; a 12T would be a size 12, tall, full hips; a IBS would be a size 16, short, average hips. Men Drivers: Take Heart WASHINGTON (AP) Memo to men drivers: Take heart, the people planning the highways of the future are talking about ways to reduce haz ards from skittish women drivers A. Carl Stelling, a New York highway consultant, (old about some of the ideas, saying "today's 'masculine' highways must in the future give way to roads geared to feminine driving habits. . Women are "generally less con fident than men in making their driving decisions," Stelling said Tuesday in a speech prepared for the American society ot Land scape Architects. I -Also, he said, they tend to panic more quickly than men in tight situations and their attention is more likely to wander off the road. ' What to do about it? Well, Stelling foresaw the day When: Travel lanes would be wider, allowing women "a great margin of error in their motor maneu verings. An exlra, slow speed, truckless Jrne would be reserved for women wkn get nervous at high speeds. Emergency turnoff, or "pa'nic," areas would be closer together and would be equipped with police telephones, benches and shelters tor bad weather. Highway pavement would be dhne in pastel colors "most wom an would find it easier to follow colors than to read signs." in management who say that on a purely mathematical basis the in creased labor charges raise the cost of making steel by $11 a ton; i2i the union leaders who contend that increased productivity in the industry means that steel can be turned out at the same price even with the higher labor costs and the companies will still make a reasonable profit. By increased productivity they mean that today's newer equip ment and improved processes re sult in more steel being turned out by one man's labor. Union leaders also note that dur ing the period that the mills got down to operating at around SO per cent of capacity, most com panies still made a profit, even if sharply lower than the earnings a year ago when mills were oper ating at near capacity. In the old days the break-even point was much higher. Com panies felt that if they went much below 80 per cent of capacity they would lose money. But the break even point has been lowered slow ly as brand new mills came along and old and obsolete equipment was idled. Those on the sidelines waiting for steel management to make up its collective minds feel th,at some price increase will be coming along this summer. How much may depend as much upon the amount of demand for steel that develops after the sum mer lull as upon the amount of in crease in labor costs. Price con cessions on some steel products have cropped up here and there during this period of keen compe tition for a restricted market. The latest wage boost includes a basic rise of 9 cents an hour. cost ot living pay rise of 4 cents an hour, a one-third increase in differentials for afternoon and night work and payment of time and one quarter for work on Sun days and holidays. The union says these raises, ex clusive of the cost of living one, average out at 13 cents an hour, while management figures it at 16 cents. Adding in this week's cost of living hike and one of 5 cent's the first of the year, management contends labor costs have gone up 25 cents an hour since last summer have taken care of their summer needs by ordering heavily in May for June delivery to beat any price rise. That is why many expect this ummer s steel output to be skim pier than usual. But it a general business pick up in the fall calls lor more activity by the makers of durable goods, steel companies would have little trouble making a new once hike stick. The question then win be now much of this added cost of steel can be passed along to the stores and to you. If consumer demand for durable goods doesn t rise from its present stale, manufac turers may have to absorb much of the new costs themselves. Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of informative articles dealing with the Klamath Union High School and the forthcoming proposed budget which will be voted on July 7. The material is presented as a public service by members of the KUHS school Board and Budget CommiUee: Can our students receive a good education for the monies spent? es. if the proper guidance in volving the parents, students and ounsellors is used. For example, of the 38 credits mandatory for high school gradu ation, only 20 are required by state standards, that is, a gradu ating student is required to have completed four years of Lnglish, one year of math, two years of physical education, one year of sci ence, and two years of social sci ences. The remaining 18 credits are elective, and the choice of courses are determined by the students ana their parents. However, the teachers and fa cilities are included in the high school curriculum whereby a stu dent can receive advanced train ing in such fields as math, sci ence, English, history, languages and other solid courses. It's up to :he students and their parents They can elect to take the ad vanced training as a part of their 18 elective or optional courses. The curriculum at the high school is expansive to the extent that a student can prepare himself or herself to meet the entrance re quirements of any college or uni versity in this country. For example, just consider tnis vear s graduating class I r o m Kl'HS. One senior won the national merit full scholarship at the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology. This scholarship is competed for by high school students throughout the nation. Three of our students received Weyerhaeuser Timber Foundation scholarships. The foundation al lots only IS of the scholarships to competing students throughout 43 states. One student received a full tui tion scholarship to Northwestern University. It is a Dupont chem istry scholarship. One student also received an alternate appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. Approximately 50 students re ceived scholarships sponsored by various civic, fraternal, and indi vidual organizations. The 1958 graduating class is liv ing proof that the educational fa cililies are available. It's up to the students and the guidance of their parents to take advantage of them.

By DKLOS SMITH NEW YORK (UPI)-A scientific study of "The Psychology Of the Alcoholic" raises a brand new question concerning drinking, which is: "Why do so few per sons become alcoholics?" According to Richard J. King ham, psychologist of the alcohol ism unit of Philadelphia General Hospital, it may do more good to unwind that question and get it answered than to keep right on worrying the old, bogged - down question, why are there so many drunks? The way he figured alcoholics is that they re ridden hard by informed learning." To show what this means, he gave two exam ples, that of a food-hungry rat and that of a love-starved worn- i. The hungry rat is placed at the entrance of a maze. He smells the food in the box at the other end. So he runs the maze, finds the food, and eats it. His hunger which was the nagging "drive" that sent him through the maze. is reduced and so he has learned in a "reinforced way" how to re duce it. Maze-running is on its way to becoming a habit. The woman feeling rejected and unloved by her husband, sees a box of chocolates. When she was a girl, chocolates added up to love and affection her parents rewarded her with them. So she buys and eats the chocolates which reduces her "drive" of be ing unloved and rejected. "Learn ing" this was "reinforced" and this will be her habitual way of reducing the drive. In alcoholics, a number of un pleasant feelings may be the anve. ineyre just about Statement Launched By Much Fanfare in Capital countable, Kingham said, listing frustration, lear, anger, loneli ness, monotony, depression, and rejection. Feeling this "drive, the alcoholic grabs for the bottle and drinks in what Kingham called "the blitz paltern" which puts him under. The "drive" is reduced, his learning of how to do it is reinforced and he'll re peat. But since everyone has those those unpleasant feelings row and then, the question is, why aren't there more alcoholics? Kingham sought to answer it theoretically by suggesting that the relatively lew persons who do become al coholics are made uncomfortable by any 'average mood," which is neither high nor low, and seek to avoid such a mood. If their backgrounds are such as to make them susceptible to me oiitz natlern. ' this will du! them in the way of learning the drive reducing power of drunk enness in a "reinforced" way In snon, iney ii get tne "habit. WASHINGTON (AP) - Rarely has this capital where the spoken word is anything but rare seen ?06 words launched with so much fanfare. The words were Bernard Gold- fine's account last night of how some of his favors to presidential aide Sherman Adams came to be charged off as business expenses. doldline, a Boston millionaire. said favors for Adams, including hotel bills, were deducted by his accountants as business expenses He said he's willing to adjust his lax returns if the Internal Reve nue Service feels he made a mis lake. For a score of reporters, the launching intended largely for newsreel cameras was a frus trating experience. There also was sume evidence it was frustrating for Goldline. a ruddy and grcgari ous man. He seemed to want to talk to the reporters but one of his lawyers wouldn t let him. Presiding over the production was Tex McCrary, television per sonality and public relations man. McCrary told reporters neither the White House nor the Republi can National Committee had brought him in to work with Gold fine. He said he was helping out an old friend, Roger Robb, one of Goldfines lawyers, and was get ling neither pay nor expenses. The newsmen were summoned lo a hotel ballroom by word that Goldfinc would distribute his statement at 8 p. m. and read it lor the newsreels a half-hour later When they arrived al 8, they found the story already was in most of their offices, because it had been telephoned to the wire services an hour earlier, Goldfine wasn't expecled before 1 at the earliest. Bottles and canapes were wheeled in and McCrary said the drinks were on Goldfine. He smiled bravely when somebody asked whellier doldline was go ing to take the bar bill olf his taxable income. Nine o'clock came and went while the reporters read newspa pers and interviewed McCrary. Goldfine arrived at 9:30. accom panied by lawyer Samuel Sears. McCrary called for quiet and announced a rehearsal. Goldfine read his statement with lighls, but no cameras. A reporter shouted a question about Goldline and Adams. Sears was on his feet in a flash "Don't talk. No talking. Not a word," he advised his client. The reporter persisted. "Don't press. advised McCrary, still hanging on to that smile. The live reading followed, sev eral times over. Reporters kept trying. Sears kept objecting. Finally a desperate reporter asked. "Mr. Goldfinc. to what do you attribute your rosy cheeks? happily. The newsmen bored in. Did he walk as much as former Presi dent Harry Truman? "I walk faster." Goldfine said Then the questioning got around to Adams again and Sears went back into action. As Sears steered his client out of the room, Goldfine told the hov ering reporters: "You are all fine gentlemen."
