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

larly interested in a project out

Here's a classic leller received
by our circulation department one
day last week. Thought it might
be interesting lo you.

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

then sent Iroops it necessary, said
he Is advising parly colleagues to
soft-pedal their criticisms and let

Fresh in the minds of the Dem
ocrals is the use the Republicans

speeches, Alcorn slill stresses the
theme that the Eisenhower ad
ministration settled the Korean

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.

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.

are not as thorough as head to

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
