JULY 21. 1958 FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr J'h. TU 4-4752 I'.'issin ."VoH'K By FLOYD L. WYNNE This is a good time lo unscram ble some of the scribbles that I find on my personal scratch pad. Last week's potato sacks incident in Medford was one that Mayor Lawrence Slater took up in a re cent letter to Mayor John W. Sni der of Medford. In his letter. Mayor Slater said. "It has come to my attention that on July 10, four traffic lights located on East Main Street were inoperative during the day, and that each of these traffic lights wore covered with potato sacks labelled 'Klamath Potatoes. ' "We have no objection whatso ever lo the city of Medford using our potato sacks, in fact we are very happy over Ihe free adver tising we have received through this media. "Possibly sometime in the fu ture we may have a situation where we will have to cover some ol our traffic lights and we may reciprocate the favor by using some pear boxes. "Thank you very much again Mayor Snider lor Iho free ad vertising." Incidentally, Herald and News pbolographer Don Keillor and his wile recently counted the out-of-state licensed cars as Ihey trav elled down Main Slreet from Twelfth to Second. You'd he surprised at the number. My guess might be 20 or maybe 25. Actually, they counted B0 out ol-slale autos on this slrelch of Main Slreet. It was about 5:30 on Friday night. This also ties in with the re cent automobile traffic count for the month of June by the Slate Highway Department. The figures are somewhat surprising, but cer tainly bear out the importance of the tourist and oul ol-lown travel ler lo Klamath Falls. The average daily traffic for the month of June this year past Mid land on U.S. 97 south of Klamalh Falls was 3,072 cars. That's the daily average. It shows an In crease of 7.1 per cent over the same figures for 11157. Also, Ihe busiest day and hour in Ihe mnnlh of June past Ihe traf fic counter at Midland was Satur day, June 14, from .1 to 4 p.m. when 201 cars passed this spot. The highest daily volume of cars past this point was 4,041 on Sat urday, Juno 14. Meantime, at the other end, at Chemult, average daily traffic for June was 2,8112 which showed a decline of 1.6 per cent over last year. Their peak hour was Sundav, June 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. with 3411 cars. Riggest day was Saturday, June 28. wilh 4.0IH. So much lor figures, just goes lo prove we should treat those tourists right. , Class this as useless but inter esting information. Esther Williams, swimming slar. was reportedly in Klamath Falls for just a lew hours about a week Understand she was here wilh the manager of her swimming pool enlerpri.ses. and they were particu larly interested in a project out on Ihe Henley highway. Here's a classic leller received by our circulation department one day last week. Thought it might be interesting lo you. The letter from an irate sub scriber (we'll leave name old was received by Mrs. Jennette Marsh all II said, "I want to know where at is my copy of the paper for Sunday, July 13?

It is particularly fitting that a native of .Venezuela he honored at this lime because that country be came in 1057 Ihe number one cus tomer for United Slates exports to Lai in America. Venezuela now ranks second only to Canada in the Western Hemisphere with its purchases of more than one and one-half billion dollars worth of goods and services from the United Stales annually. ' Last year's total of exports to Venezuela was 25 times Ihe pre war 1935-391 level of 41 million dollars and twice as large as the average 1948-54 level of 500 million dollars. These purchases are made possible, according lo Econometric Specialists, Inc., of New York, by reciprocal purchases of Venezuelan materials including petroleum and iron ore products.

By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (APi-The omi nous shadow of the Middle East crisis threatened today lo blot out other issues and force some ma jor revisions in congressional campaign strategy. Campaign leaders were watch ing public reaction to President Eisenhower's decision to send troops inlo Lebanon, There was no certainty in either camp about the immediate or long-range po litical effect. But one thing stood out in 'their reports from grass - roots can vasses: if American troops are still in Lebanon on election day. Middle East developments are likely to have more effect on vot ing results than any other single issue. While GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn has contended Ei senhower's troop decision has "won wide acclaim." a Republi can campaign strategist who didn't want his name used said his survey showed very mixed re action. He said that while many voters approved the President's firm ac tion in a dangerous situation, oth ers believed American interven tion in the internal affairs of any other nation would be likely lo boomerang. ( A leading Democrat, who thinks Eisenhower should first have ap pealed to Ihe United Nations and then sent Iroops it necessary, said he Is advising parly colleagues to soft-pedal their criticisms and let events speak for themselves. Fresh in the minds of the Dem ocrals is the use the Republicans made of Ihe Korean War issue in Ihe 1952 presidenlial election. In speeches, Alcorn slill stresses the theme that the Eisenhower ad ministration settled the Korean conflict and can he depended on to chart a course (hat would avoid war.

Yvivvt 1'ri'SMire By SAM. DAWSON NEW YORK (AP) - The brief early summer lull in the rise of the cost of living is being upset today by storm clouds, building up in the Middle East. Pressure for higher prices was rising even before Western troops moved into Asia Minor and the Russian Rear began to growl more loudly. But the Middle East develop- iwnts are acting like a booster shot. Tending toward the high road: Gasoline, tires, used cars commuter fares, metals, wool sugar and rubber. Part of this is because specu lators moved into the commodity futures markets, particularly London, and ignoring the over supply of most materials bid up Ihe prices of metals and grains Part of the upward price pres sure is due to sober judgment of businessmen that sources of some raw materials might be shut off and distribution of others dis lurbed. And this belief could lead many purchasing agents lo lake a sec ond look at their inventory poli cies. For months stocks were be ing cut. Any change toward build ing them up again could have a quick impact on prices. Some consumer prices already were on the rise. Example: Gaso line . price wars were beginning to ebb. . Prices of gasoline were firming in many sectors. The threat of disruption of the flow of oil from the Middle East with the implied strain, however tem porary, on Weslern supplies, firmed the minds of oil execu tives. And last week wholesale gas price rises became common place. Talk that fuel oil prices would be next was widespread. Revived was the memory of the price rise in domestic crude oil lhat followed the closing of Ihe Suez Canal and Ihe spurt in West ern Europe's need for our oil. Domestic producers have moved quickly this time lo reassure Americans of. Ihe adequacy of sup plies here although saying noth ing of any possibility of a price sc. They point out that domestic crude oil output now is about 61? million barrels a day, while pro ducing capacity is 9'j million bar rels, and that at Ihe Mari-h. 1957. peak of the Suez crisis, produc tion here rose to 7' million bar rels daily thus presumably leav ing sale room for maneuvering But consumers are facing other rising prices. Used cars have gone up. although new cars have been slow moving. The price ol the forthcoming models is still in douhl, but Detroit says the chance lo spend a lot extra on expensive accessories will be greater than ever. A lire price boost, tied more to operating costs than to any throat lo Ihe natural rubber market. could add slill more lo the cosi of transportation. And already many commuter rail and bus fares are on the rise. In Ihe case nf almost anything you can name Ihe supply ion hand or polcnliali exceeds Ihe de mand. But Ihe threat of war strengthens Ihe convictions of those who think the long term trend is toward more inflation in other words, a slill higher cost of living. 4ll4l4N United Press lnlcrnation.il BEIKI'T American insurance salesman Kenneth Shaker, of West Hartlord.

This was the consensus at Ihe White House of how President Eisenhower came through the first five days ot the Mideast crisis. It was the general opinion of his aides, vis itors and newsmen who covered his reading of a statement Tues day for radio and television re corded for broadcast. Tha President s demeanor at times was on Ihe grim side un derstandably but he appeared in good spirits nevertheless. Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder, the President s physician, was under stood to he well satislied with the way the chief executive was bear ing up. As has been his practice World Courts Given Boost By Bar Head COLOGNE, Germany (AP) The president of the American Bar Assn. appealed today for a new international system of courts so nations can go to law instead of lo war to settle quarrels. Charles S. Rhyne of Washing ton. D. C, spoke at the opening of the seventh biennial conference of the International Bar Assn. More than too lawyers attended the gathering of 500-plus delegates from 42 countries who assembled in the 500-year-old Guild House Rhyne pointed out lhat the basic principles of law were com mon throughout history and were internationally accepted hut thus far had been applied mainly with in national borders. The world community has only one court, Ihe International Court of Justice at The Hague, "the most unused in strument for peace in the world today," .he said. "The world needs a new inter national system of courts to ap ply the rule of law in decidine disputes between nations so as to eliminate resort to war as Ihe ul timate mechanism for settlement of international disputes," he said. I Peace is Ihe dominant desire of mankind," he continued. "There now exists a state of mind 'among Ihe peoples of the world immediately receptive to progress in this field. ' When the people of Ihe world are tully cognizant of the poten tial back of the idea of going to court instead nf to war they will demand and we will get that sys tem.

The President has been under going about. once a month at the White House a fairly detailed ex amination by Snyder and consult ing physicians from the Army's Walter Reed Medical Center. They are not as thorough as head to toe checkups and findings pf the physicians are not made public. The fact lhat the President hasn't been put through a complete phys ical examination at the Army hospital since last November sup ports statements of White House sources that nothing wrong has been noted in the monthly check ups. During the first days of the crisis the President had to cut short his usual middav rest per iod. He was able to rest an hour or an hour and a half most days instead ot his usual two hours. He also passed up Ihe round of midweek golf he usually plays on tne Burning Iree Club here. How ever, he practiced each day, ex cept Friday when it rained, for about 30 minutes on the White House south lawn. An aide said the President found the banging of 7a to too goll balls his most effect ive way to relieve tension. Alexander K.
