COiP la Th U 0? tfRSGOS LI3.1A3J By FRANK JENKINS The other day, as you doubtless read in his column, our Floyd Wynne reported a count of 65 out-of-state cars on Main street be tween the Willard Hotel and the Herald and News building a dis tance of about a dozen blocks. The time was about S in the afternoon an hour when tourists (1 don't care much for the word "tourist," hut have never been able to find a better one) are looking around for quarteri for the night. This count just happened to be made in Klamath Falls. It could undoubtedly have been duplicated in any number of towns in South ern Oregon and Far Northern California. How many of these cars stopped here? We don't know. Floyd just counted them. But it is interesting to speculate on what would have happened if ALL of them could have been in duced to stop long enough to see the interesting and worth-while things this area has to offer. Here are some figures: The average tourist expenditure per person per day is $5.20. The average tourist expenditure VtM CAR per day is $16.13. The average stay per tourist car In Oregon is three days. During these three days, the oc cupants of the average tourist car spend $102.50. These figures are based on a survey made a year or so ago by the traffic and engineering di vision of the Oregon state high way department. Thai is to say If ALL of these cars could have been stopped for the average pe riod, they would have spent in the Klamath country a total of $6.662 all outside money. That isn't hay in the economy of any average-size community of the Pa cific Coast. And, remember, this computation is based on only 65 cars counted within the space of a dozen blocks in one community. All this suggests a question: WHAT STOPS TOURISTS? The answer is LOTS OK THINGS. K all depends on the individual tourist and what appeals to him. V hat appeals to one won t appeal to another. But In general The tourist is out to see inter esting things and if interesting things are brought to his attention he will stop to see them. , And i When he slops for a day or more, he leaves money where he stops. ... Here's a thought for all of us In Southern Oregon and Far North ern California: KNOW YOUR STATE OF JEF FERSON. Be prepared In tell every tour ist of the fascinating and glamor ous and romantic things in this area that he ought tb see. If he isn't told about them, he will roar right on through. If he is told about them interestingly and accurately he'll stop. And when he slops he will spend money. In Southern Oregon and Far Northern California, there is scen ery unexcelled. There is the glam or of gold in our past. There is the glamor of great history. There is I he glamor of the Spaniards and their fabulous adventure in the New World. There is the glamor of the old days on the open range. We have everything it takes Biil- The tourist won't stop to see it ill unless he is told about it. Let's start telling -him.

Iven Kincheloe, chosen by the Air Force to be one of the first pilots to fly into space, was killed Saturday when his jet fighter crashed while on a routine flight. His F104 Slarfighter slammed into the ground and exploded shortly after taking off from this air base in the Mojave Desert. Kincheloe. who held the Ameri can altitude record of 126.000 feet. ejected himself a moment before the impact. The Air Force said the ruggedly handsome jet ace apparently was trying to turn back to the field after a low-altitude flameout. It looked like he was gliding in for a landing on the desert," said Steve Michel, a nearby rancher. Just before the plane hit and exploded, Kincheloe catapulted from the cockpit. His body was badly burned from the explosion's fireball, shenit s deputies said. Wreckage was spread over a half mile area. Kincheloe. 30, had taken off to fly as "chase" plane for another jet being tested, the Air Force said. It was considered a routine hop for the Korean War hero, who flew many such flights as one of the United States top test pi lots. Kincheloe, an aeronautical and mechanical engineer, was a mem ber of the select three-man Air Force team training for flights served 16 years in the Senate as a Republican from Colorado, died of pneumonia Saturday under an ox ygen tent in his apartment. His wile, Delia, a stepson, Karl C. Schuyler Jr. of Denver, and olher relatives were at his bed side.

Chief Wants Talks In NY DEPARTS TOKYO 'API Japanese Am bassador Koichiro Asakai left Thursday night for his post in Washington. He spent two weeks here conferring with Japanese leaders and other key envoys summoned home by Foreign Min ister Aiichiro Fujiyama. WASHINGTON (API-President Eisenhower pressed forward Sat urday his campaign to hold pros pective summit talks on the Mid dle East crisis strictly within United Nations Security Council rules and procedures. In a letter to President Jusce- lino Kubitschek of Brazil, Eisen hower said the U.N. is the only appropriate forum in which to dis cuss Soviet Premier Nikila Khrushchev's charge of a present threat to peace in the Middle East. Eisenhower stressed the same point in a joint statement with Prime Minister Kwame Nkumrah of Ghana. He coupled with it a pledge that as soon as the U.N. takes effective action to deal with the situation the United States will withdraw its troops from Leb anon. These assertions followed Eisen hower's proposal to Khrushchev Friday that any U.N. . summit meeting be held as a meeting of me security council and that ar rangements, including agreement on a dale, should be worked out through the permanent U.N. rep resentatives in New York. With summit talks increasingly likely to start within the next two or three weeks, the interim may well bring new outbreaks of vio lence and heightened tension in the Middle East itself. First go-round results were re ported as follows: Bareback riding: Jack Middle- ton, first; Bill Kunkle, second, and John Mitchell, third. .

Lebanon (AP)-Sharp fighting broke out Saturday night between Lebanese security forces and opposition rebels' near the presidential palace and govern ment buildings in the heart of Beirut. U. S. troops who landed in Leb anon last week were not involved. The security forces and the rebels exchanged mortar and ma chine gun fire across Capitol Square where the post office is located. Small arms lire and the chat tering of machine guns also broke the quiet in the Sinayeh Quarter, just three blocks from the presi dential palace. In the Zariff sector, there was small arms fire from three direc tions. The Associated Press build ing was in the center of lines of fire. Early reports said the only cas ualty in two hours of shooting was a girl wounded by a stray bullet It was the heaviest fighting of the week in Beirut. It broke as the Mideast area appeared to be settling down after a crisis triggered by the July 14 revolt in Iraq, the swift arrival of U.S. troops in Lebanon, and the landing of British paratroops in Jordan. The scheduled election of a Leb anese president next week held hopes that peace would he re stored to the tiny nation and that U. S. troops would be withdrawn. But after the opposition Nation al Front disclosed that a rebel leader's threat to block the elec tion has not been generally ap proved, more candidates jumped into the contused race for the presidency.

The British leader, in replying to a Khrushchev note on the meet ing, backed President Eisen hower's idea that the Security Council should be the place for such a meeting on the Mideast crisis. But French Premier de Gaulle's reply to the same Khrushchev note reiterated opposition to the New York Security Council ses sion. He said it holds the danger of becoming an increasingly un wieldy show. De Gaulle proposed instead a big power summit meet ing to be held in Europe, in Gen eva or some other city on the con tinent. De Gaulle said that was more in line with Khrushchev's original idea of having lhe Soviet Union. the Western Big Three, India and U.N. Secretary General Dag Ham marskjold attend. There were other differences among the Western Allies who now have confronted Khrushchev with an assortment of ideas to answer.

They said an altitude range of 120 to 1,200 miles would mean a four or five-year life for the satellite. They estimated that its speed ranges at 14.000 miles an hour to 18,000 depending on altitude, and one trip around the earth takes approximately 112 minutes. The first radio reports from Explorer IV gave information on cosmic rays. Scientists expected later data from tracking stations in South America, located under lhe high point of the satellite's early orbits, to provide the first word on the mysterious radiation under study.
