TU 4-4752 Entered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls. Ore., on August 20. WOS, under act of Congress, March 8. 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California Subscription Rates , CARRIER I MONTH $ 1.50 ( MONTHS t 9.00 I YEAR J18.00 MAIL, I MONTH $ 1.50 MONTHS .S0 1 YEAR $15.00 World Of (.ianls By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK AP) As if ev erybody didn't feel small enough already, we will be asked this au tumn to look up to a hero only six inches tall. He is Mcl Hunter, star of "World of Giants," a new televi sion series, and a lot of big mon ey is riding on his tiny but mus cular frame in one of the lop du els of the 1958-59 video season. CBS is gamhling four million dollars (hat little Mel will he able lo untrark "Wagon Train," t h e highly rated program that sets nut every Wednesday night from the rival trading post run by Sher iff Bob Sarnoff of NBC. It is to be a no-holds-harrcd contest for audience favor be tween TV's newest art form the , "fantastic" and one of Ameri ca's most durable literary culture vehicles the horse opera. Who is this rash unknown, Mel Hunter, who singlehanded has ris en to challenge the long reign of "the Western"? He is the brainchild of John Ziv, president of Ziv Television Productions, which puts out some 0 shows, and Richard Dorso, his program chief. Mel is a strapping fi-lool secret agent who is exposed to rays from a deadly enemy missile fuel be hind the Iron Curtain. His mole cular system is affected, and he shrinks until he is only half a font tall. Instead of asking waivers him or peddling him to a circus. Mels superiors in a government department known only as "the bureau" decide to keep him on the job 'is a spy hunter. The fact they now have a 0-inch agent is, of course, the bureau's top secret. He goes on his mis sions in a briefcase carried by fiis buddy, Bill Winlcrs. The brief case has air vents and contains an airplane type seat in which miniature Mel straps himself for comfort. "Because of his small size erything that happens to Mel is a matter of life or death to him, said Dorso, his co-creator. "A spilled bottle of glue, a v etium cleaner, a sudden rainfall that washes him down a sewer these are terrible perils lo him. Two of his biggest problems in the pilot show are how lo outwit a hungry cat and how to get a telephone off the honk so he can call the bureau." The question naturally arises as lo whether Mel Is on the payroll of J. Edgar Hoover, whose em ployment policies (so far as pub licly announced) have been some what discriminatory toward mid gets. Dorso is very clear on this point. The answer is no. "The Federal Bureau of Inves tigation screened the series and approved It," Dorso said, "as long as Mel wasn't identilied as an FBI agent." Dorso, a man vaccinated long ago with a Madison Ave. prose needle, believes "the little man" will become the hero of the year to both kids and grownups. "There is no ceiling to this." he said. "We think it will go right through the roof. We're going for the long hall. "This is going lo he the year ol the fantastic in television. Oh. there'll he a rash of (anlaslirs a real rash of them. All kinds ot new backgrounds and riilferent he roes maybe even a two-headed hero Irnm another planet. A dreamy look overcame Dor se's lace. "We might even star him in a fantastic Western." he remarked How about that?

I. tii I MiHiiliji4 By SAM DAWSON AP Business Neu Analyst NEW YORK lAP'-Thc chances are good today that come New Year's there II lie another legal shrinkage of your take-home pay. Congress is talking of increas ing Social Sccuiiiv taxes then. The Social Security lunri is running in the red. although il has M?alilc reserves to (all hack on -carried as U. S. Treasury securities, not as cash. The present maximum ilcdui tion from a paycheik is VM Mi a year. The proposed maximum -ill er New Year's would he ?i;o n,u there would be some increase lor every employe at whatever wasr. scale. And (or business there would be an increase in operating expenses, since the amount the cmpUner pays into the kitty would rise at the jam lime and in the same amount. The proposal is based on two factors: 1. Currently Ihe amount workeu are paying Into the Social Security fund is running behind lh sums being paid out to the increasing number of the retired, making for embarrassing red ink bookkeep ing. 2. Congress is talking of in creasing Ihe amount of old age and disability payments, as it has in each election year since 1952. It is reacting to the impact of in flation on those with fixed in comes. For many years the Social Se curity fund was increasing. But as new types of beneficiaries were added and the life expectancy of all increased, the outgoing pay ments finally outstripped the in come tax receipts. .t the present tax rate schedule set to increase gradually until 1075 when it would hit a perman ent rate of 4' per cent the fund would be in the red until 15. The next stepup from the pres ent 2F4 to 2' per cent was set lor MM). Congress now proposes lo move this up to Jan. 1, 1959, hike the taxahle wage base from $4,200 to (4.800, and move the date of the 4 per cent permanent rate up to 1909. The amount deducted from your pay check for Social Security does not go into a special cash till. It goes straight to the U.S. Treas ury, which treats il like any other tax receipt. But the Treasury gives the Social Security fund Treasury securities for the amount received. And it pays in terest on these securities. The fund's holdings of Treasury bonds had reached about 22 bil lion dollars when payments over took receipts. Those fearing that Ihe increas ing number of persons getting old age benefits now more than 11 million will drain the reserves have always been reassured that Congress will increase Ihe tax as needed lo prevent this. The proposed increase now is part of this plan. It will pinch those now employed. But it will add more for those trying to make ends meet on a fixed income while the cost of living rises. And, its sponsors point out, it will insure the soundness of the Social Secur ity fund. Widening Ihe base of the insured by taking in new elements of the population has put Ihe current acute squeeze on the fund. But the long-term rise in life expect ancy has done even more. In 1950 there were about 12 mil lion persons in the United States 05 years or over. The number has gone up steadily and the 1900 cen sua is expected lo count almost IS million in that group. And so Ihe drain on the take- home pay will keep rising to meet the payments. Wolrd Yonr By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API-This has been an almost weird seven months in high diplomacy. During most of that time until now it would have been hard lo find anyone willing to het a dime on a summit conference in 1958. Now il seems assured. Rut a price. The .Soviets have scored a smashing propaganda victory by forcing the conference. The Unit- d States practically had to he dragged inlo it. It remains to he seen after the results are known whether the cnnlerence turns out to be a farce and this country was right in its reluctance In meet with Pre mier Khrushchev. There is no exact parallel in his tory (or these past seven months. They produced a shower o( let ters between President Eisenhow er and Khrushchev, hairsplittings, and the kind o( progress that never, until now. amounted lo one step forward and one step hack. In short: nothing. The Soviets started it last De cember with a letter to Eisen hnwer, proposing a meeting at the top. The administration thought it could brush it olf by letting a press officer dismiss it as propaganda before the State Department released a translation of the Soviet note. This cavalier treatment didn't work. Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles were quickly shak en out of that 'attitude by the re action of American allies who wanted much more serious atten tion given the Soviet proposal. Nevertheless, Eisenhower and Dulles dallied about answering it, giving the Soviets almost a solid month in which to parade before Ihe world as unanswered peace-lovers. And belore Eisenhower finally got off his reply to the first So viet note, the Soviets sent anoth er. Even Dulles by then indicated tne Soviets were beating us in propaganda. The administration decided to be a little quicker In the future. Then began the rain of letters. with the Soviets urging haste and r.isenhower taking the position there should not he a summit meeting until there had been ade quate preparation for it and all sides agreed thoroughly on what they'd discuss. Without such preparation, of course, a summit meeting could turn into a shooting gallery. But the whole idea seemed to collapse last month when the Soviets sud denly broke off negotiations with Western ambassadors in Moscow on preparations for a summit get-together. They did this at a time when for a reason still incomprehensi ble they abruptly turned tough in all directions. Fpr a time, they appeared not lo care what the rest of the world thought. Whatever propaganda gains they had made were suddenly being thrown away. But Khrushchev .saw a new and golden chance to score on the West and took advantage of it fast when American troops were sent into Lebanon and Brit ish troops into Jordan at the re quest of the heads of government of both countries. Khrushchev moved fast, but not in haste. The American troons went in July 15. Khrushchev wait ed until July 19 before issuing another call for a summit meet ing. this lime to avoid war in the Mideast. Those few days' delay gave him time to see what world reaction was to the American move. It was far from universally good Thus he was able to know for sure he was hitting a widely popular chord when he wrote his summit letter. The Eisenhower administration still didn't want any part of sit ting down with Khrushchev. But the British did. This left it up to Msenhower to split with Britain or trail along behind her. He reluc tantly agreed to a meeting. But this meeting perhaps within three weeks will almost certainly he the kind Eisenhower never wanted: one without thor ough preparation or agreement on what will be discussed. I saw my normally black hair turn bright gold. I looked at the can. It was metallic gold paint, recommended for radiators.
