PAGE fiA HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY. JTLY 11. 195 FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE Cily Editor ScholarshipM By FLOYD L. WYNNE Four youngsters Irom Klamath County stand to benelit (rom the provisions of an old Oregon statute ihat was recently rediscovered. Under the terms of the law, each county in the state may grant as many free scholarships to Oregon State College each year as it has senators and representatives in the Legislature, and also one from each county in the slate. It was turned up about a year ago, but not until this year, did any county start work on it. At first, it was treated as just an archaic law Ihat should he forgotten. However, recently, Multnomah County's legislative delegation got together and decided they would grant some 2.1 scholarships to which they are entitled under the law. I'm glad to see that Klamath County's delegation has set up a committee to award such scholar ships from this county. They are to be commended on their action, and it is hoped that It will enable lour students to at lend Oregon Stale who might not otherwise he able to do so. In announcing the move,' the group pointed out that the scholar ships will be awarded to those whose resources are so limited that he or she seems unable to attend college without the additional aid of a scholarship and whose aca demic record indicates sufficient scholastic aptitude as to profit from higher education. A special committee has been set up by the legislative group plus the Klamath County Court. Names of the committee will not be made public since that might bring them under additional pressure in mak ing Iheir selection. However, it is hoped that needy Indents will lake advantage of this opportunity to obtain an application blank either from the county court or one nf the legislators and submit It prior lo July 23. The scholarships are available lo loss graduates of Klamath County high schools, as well as graduates of past years or present college students. 1'u I ill n r.v Triumph By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (API America has scored an unexpected culi nary triumph at I he Brussels In ternational Exposition with of all things! frozen custard. "The , Europeans have gone crazy over it," said David Berge, executive vice president of the Brass Rail restaurant chain "Frozen custard has been our sur prise success . , . and biggest teller. "Last Sunday they bought 7.8.0(1 cones. As supervisor of dining facilities in the American pavilion at the Belgian Fair, Beige met nothing but headaches at the start. "It seemed lor a while like we had almost as many critics as customers." he remarked. Berge lound himself in the soup literally when he put Manhat tan clam chowder on the menu. An indignant chorus (mm Con necticut to Maine immediately de manded equal hilling fur New England clam chowder. Typical was an editorial com ment by the famous "Vineyard Gazette" of Martha's Vineyard, Mass.: "It may be sometime demon strated that Manhattan cl.iin chowder is the main cause o( ju venile delinquency. When the re taxation of old standards and principles begins, anything can happen." Obligingly Beige, a man whoi likes to keep everybody happy, bowed this week to regional pride. "Starting this week we're put ting both chowders on the menu so the New Knglnnder won't tool fnrgnlten man." But Merge has lought back nl native critics who thought his em phaits on such items as hamburg ers and hot dni;s were beneath the dignity of a mighty nation. We asked people who'd been abroad what things they missed most while away Irom home," he said. "They mentioned things like clam chowder, cheesecake, ham burgers, hot dogs, roast heel apple pie, American cntlee null ed milks and ice cream sundaes." Some critics smiled at the quick lunch atmosphere of the Ameri can restaurant. "But that's just what the mass of people at an evposition want." said Rerge. "Most ol Ihcin cao't allord the $4 to $i. a meal it costs to pat at the continental snip restaurants at the (air. That's for the luxury trade. "At the American restaurant they can jl a lunch consisting of a hamburger, apple pie and rnfleo lor St. Dinner costs fi or less." The lorinula seems lo tie work ing out.

That may seem like carrying coals to Newcastle, but th. y're both going well." As a final rebuttal- to his early critics, Berge rubbed his chubby hands together, and observed cheerfully: "You know, the chefs from the Hungarian Pavilion and the guards at the Russian Pavilion now cat in our restaurant when ever they can," Worry 4iini'ii By STERLING F. GREEN Associated Press News Analvst WASHINGTON (AP) There is a small but influential group in Washington, known simply as "The Four," which suspects that the hardest economic battle re mains to be fought and is gird ing for it. ' The enemy won't be recession hut inflation. The signs of business upturn have been noted hopelully it appears Ihat a modest recovery may he under way this fall. If so, the recovery will coincide with the start of a new era of federal deficit financing on a vast scale, and the combined pressures nf rising private aod government demand could generate another serious surge of inflation. That's what "The Four" have been worrying about for some time now. It was concern over inflalioo which brought the group into ex istence last September as an un official body lacking formal name or legal status. Secretary of (he Treasury Rob ert B. Anderson watched the value of the dollar sink lo new- lows month by month, and broached his idea lo President Eisenhower. The idea was simply that Ihe officials directly concerned with money, credit and federal finance himself and Chairman William McC. Martin Jr. of the Federal Reserve Board should consult jointly and quite frequently with the President and his lop econom ic advisers. The latter are Ray mond J. Saulnier, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, and Gabriel Mange, presidential assistant lor econom ic nllairs. Eisenhower concurred. Since then he has averaged a meeting a month with the lour officials. The meetings had hardly begun when Ihe problems of recession look priority over Ihe problems ol inllation. Spending speedups, eas ier money and lower interest rates were Ihe obvious answers. To put the brake back on ever so gently at first lo prevent a relapse will be a more delicate job. Rut all of "The Four" are determined that there will be no repetition of Ihe events that fol lowed the 1W5.1-54 recession. Refine people realized Ihe recession was over. Ihe recovery blossomed into a buying binge, and an inflation that hasn't been stopped yet. Already "The Four" are weigh ing the variety nl ideas just about everything .short ol direct wage and price controls to keep prices Irom shooting the moon. The country's success, all ad mit, will depend greatly on the ilertness and courage ol Ihe Fed eral Reserve Board in pulling tin- PK0 J 0 J, AwSga-r TO I COUf MS A' ,; '1m1I0 WJfHI f'LTi.B A VCJU fAWlfP OUT pan(b Burr tit &Yrv w fart , J Mr-H.

But success also will depend on Ihe readiness of Ihe administra lion lo cooperate when the board decides to move, and the mere existence "The Four" may help to weld a united (root. The inflationary wallop of a 10 to 12 billion dollars deficit in the government year just starting, Anderson believes, may be mini mized through better scheduliog of the government's spending pro grams. Every program starts modestly and builds up lo a spend ing peak. To prevent the peaks Irom developing simultaneously, Anderson hopes it will be possi ble to hold some programs back while others go ahead. In addition, Ihe improved fed eral-stale relationship fostered in Ihe past year or two may be util ized, the secretary thinks, to pre veot the federal government from pouring money into military or civilian projects in an area where a state is simultaneously making big public works investments. One or Ihe other might delay its proj ect for a year. These are just samples of the kind of ideas which "The Four are entertaining as Ihey try lo look beyond the recession. Ov4rsiiiplv By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (API-Some of Un cle Sam's bonds have been hav ing a hard time in the market. So the U. S. Treasury has been buying up its own recent issues to reduce Ihe oversupply. The aim is to bolster prices and lo keep the weakness from spread ing to other issues including new offerings by tales and municipal ities, some of which have had rough sailing this week. Unsettlement of Ihe general bond and money markets at this stage of the recession would be painful to the economy. Also, the Treasury needs a strong market because it must raise a lot more cash in coming months. Speculators operating on thin margins get most of the blame for Ihe sharp drop in the price of Ihe 2H per cent issue of June 15. They put up a little cash on Ihe original price of Ihe bonds, hop ing In make a quick killing by sell ing at a profit. Instead, the price soon weakened and in recent days dropped sharply as speculators be gan dumping their thinly protect ed holcings. But part of the trouble seems lo be tiiat the Treasury found it self issuing more of these six year eight-month bonds than it had planned. It thought it knew how many of the honds would be bought by commercial hanks in its exchange olfer lor other secu rities coming due. Instead, almost 7'j billion dol lars were taken by banks and obviously by speculators thinking they could take a quick ride at a prolit. That supply seems to be more than the bond market was ready to support. Uncle Sam was able lo buy up some of these bonds and retire them because at the moment he was flush. The Treasury gels short of cash now and then. But the June income lax payments welled its cash to 10 billion dol lars. Between June 19 and July 9 the Treasury bought 4.H million dol lars of its harassed issue and re tired them. It bought 133'i mil lion dollars more lor the account ol government investment funds such as Social Security. And for these lunds it also bought about live million dollars of the 3' per cent 27 year bonds issued June 3 when it raised more than a billion SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER I MONTH I I SO MONTHS I .0O I VEAA (18 00 MAIL I MONTH I. SO MONTHS 1 SO I YEAR 1 S12 0O dollars in new cash. That was be fore the income tax payments and Uncle Sam both needed money and saw a chance to extend the maturity time of some of his debt. Some think that if the Treas ury's announcement of its pur chases doesn't settle the bond market, it may go on buying more. Others think Ihat most o! the speculators have been shaken nut of the market now and are off some where licking their finan cial wounds. But in the turmoil in the bond market aroused concern, ft was credited some days with unsettling the stock market. And bankers are wondering if it won't compli cate the Treasury's future money raising task. With a federal deficit of 10 to 11 billion dollars expect ed in the fiscal year just started. Ihe Treasury may have to go to the market frequently. The turmoil also brought out a charge from Rep. Wright Palman 'D-Texl that the Federal Reserve Board should have stepped in to halt "the jungle-like activities be ing carried on by gamblers and speculators." The Federal Reserve dropped its price supporting of govern ment securities in 1951. It has no control of margins on bond buy ing or direct control over bond markets. To date,' at least, it's been letting the Treasury 'carry the ball. llr'Hnf ion Klamath Falls (To Ihe Editor) The Juoior Rodeo Committee wants lo express its sincere thanks and appreciation lo the merchants ol Ihe Town and Country Shopping Center for the donation of Ihe com plete saddle, bridle, martingale and blanket which was won by high poiot winner Alan Foreman.

The bomb is radioactive medi cation containing thorium, which was given 30 or So years ago to thousands of people in many coun tries. Doctors didn't know then that such radioactive stuff could be dangerous. - Now some of those patients are developing cancers which are blamed directly on thorium. No one knows how many thou sands got the medicine- Or how many may develop cancers in the years to enme. There are optimis tic signs the number may fortu nately be low. The laiest chapters in the thori um story were reported today to Ihe seventh Internal Cancer Congress. It begins innocently enough in the late 1920s.
