TU 4-4752 Apologies By FLOYD L. WYNNE Ordinarily I file anonymous let tws or notes in the wastepaper basket, because that's where most of them belong. However, 1 did get a critical note the other day which was signed merely a "subscriber." It referred to an item which I Included in "Passing notes" a few days ago regarding a letter re ceived by our circulation depart ment from an irate subscriber. The note that I received said, "Your reference to the faulty com position and grammatical error contained in a recent letter re ceived by your circulation depart ment from an irate subscriber, surely demonstrates that you have very little judgment or ability to write a column, supposed to in terest your paying subscribers. "It would seem this subscriber wrote you complaining about the service concerning the delivery of his or her newspaper and used the best grammar and composition his limited education would permit, then sealed the letter believing it would be a confidential matter between himself and the circulation department. "Upon reading this letter, you believed it was so funny that it should be spattered all over the editorial column." I must admit that the letter writ er, even though he or she chooses to remain anonymous, does have point. I must apologize for the obvious overtones of using the letter, al though it certainly wasn't used in an attempt to point up or embar rass anyone for faulty composition or grammar. I still think the letter was par ticularly effective. It certainly conveyed the message to the cir culation department and undoubt edly got results. Admittedly, it was written in unorthodox fashion, but that only added to its effective ness. It was in this vein rather than an attempt to humiliate someone that it was used. So, our thanks to the anonymous letter wriler for pointing out our bad manners, and our apologies to Ihe irate subscriber who penned Die initial nole. Incidentally, while we're on the subject, it's a good time to point out that we do welcome any let ters to the editor. Our only re quirement being that they must be signed by a real person. "Letters To The Editor" have always proven stimulating for com munity thought as well as action, and whether they are critical or complimentary, controversial or otherwise, as long as they are not libelous nor overly crackpot let ters, we'll be more than glad to print them. In other words, let's hear from you and about your problems, whether it's Northern California, Southern Oregon or anyplace else. Air .Sal'Hv By FLORENCE JENKINS As Ihe number of U.S. Air Force planes increases in Klamath skies, most of us wonder if Ihe nir ace is here to stay and just how safe military flying has become. During Ihe first six months of IMS, there were only 1(1.7 major accidents per ton. (ton Hying hours of Air Force planes. This com pares with 1,1.6 major accidents during the comparable period in m. This was the statement made last week by Major General .In srph I). Caldarn, t'SAK, director of the Air Force's Ihght salety research. General t'alilaia was keynote speaker al Norton Air Force Base in California before some 18 rep resentatives of the major airrralt industries and hish ranking I'SAF personnel. His topic was power controls on supersonic jet aircraft. "With 1IIK) to 1200 Air Force planes airborne at any one time, flying 14.730 miles each fill seconds, that accident record is improv ing." he told the conference. He then put it annilier way: "Each minute, tho Air Force planes together are flying more than hallway around the world." The Air Force and airrraft in dustry wage a continuing fight to keep Ihe skies sate lor travel. Last week's conference was the 85th conference of the two groups to exchange salety ideas and re port on the progress to date. While we walch a big plane which has taken elf from Kingslry Field and speculate on how much rack et there would he if they all broke Ihe sound harrier, we can know that every possible effort is being made by salety engineers in hot li private industry and the Air Force to keep safe the men who fly that plane and keep noise to a minimum, 1 Entered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls. Ore., on August 20. 1906, under act of Congress. March 8. 1379 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California Hail Tlirpnl By SOUTHERN PACIFIC NEWS BUREAU There exists today, in legislation now pending before Congress, a Ihreat to the railroads that would place them in far greater jeop ardy than they were when their economic condition led to the for mulation of the Smathers-Harris legislation. This daoger is embodied in Sen- ale Bill No. 1.113, recently report ed to the floor by the Senate Com mittee on Labor and Public Wei fare. Similar legislation is being considered in the House of Rep resentatives. . S. 1313 proposes large increases in retirement and unemployment benefits for railroad employes op- crating under the Railroad Retire ment Act, with corresponding in creases in the taxes upon employ ers and employes which finance these benefits. Briefly, it would increase the Railroad Retirement Tax, paid by both employer and employe, from 6'i per cent to Tk per cent (and eventually to 9 per cent) and would increase the base pay subject to this tax from $35(1 to $400 per month. It would jump the Upemployment Insurance Tax (paid only by the employer) from 214 per cent lo a four per cent maximum, again raising the base pay from $.150 to $400. We'd like to point out here the consequences that passage of this act would have on the rail trans portation system of the nation: 1. The proposed lax increases, plus wage increases already com mitted in labor contracts, would increase the cost of doing business for all railroads next year by 350 million dollars more than in I!i58. On the basis of this year's revenues, it would require a five per cent nationwide freight rale increase to meet Ihe additional cost. 2. Railroads already pay three limes as much in retirement taxes as do other employers, including Ihe railroads' competitors. 3. This bill would increase the railroads' unemployment taxes to a point where they'd be more thnn four times those paid hy indus tries covered by slate unemploy ment systems. 4. A railroad employe paying the maximum retirement tax is as sessed by present law $21.88 month ly, which is matched by his em ployer. The legislation proposed would increase such payments to approximately $30 per month in June of 195!), and $36 per month hy 1975. In contrast, an employe and his employer covered by So cial Security now pay a maximum of $7.88 each monthly. The genesis of this bill was In Ihe action of Congress in 1956. which increased the benefits of the Railroad Retirement Act at that lime by 10 per cent, without an increase in taxes lo finance Ihe action. But this action goes far beyond supplanting that deficiency it institutes new increases in ben elils which require even greater (axes. Part of this liheralily mav be due to the fact that the hearings on this bill were held in March and April of l!i."7, when the eco nomic condition of the railroads as well as Ihe rest of the nation was much ditferent than it is to day. Now, this increase in taxes will cost the railroads about 185 million dollars annually or 2's limes Ihe net income of all Class 1 railroads in the country for the t i rst five months of 1i"i8! For Southern Pacific alone, the increase would amount lo about $7.i million in WW. We do not leel that Ihe economy of Ihe area we serve can hear the addition o( such an amount to its cost of trans portal ion. It would be a st'olesoue mockery Pogo i wv I My ceA9 1 1 A-C-T i e't.m.BLLE eves??, acrr fifepf lis? 1 H. I l1" -fcMH .

For the costs involved here are far more than those which the Kmalhers-Harris legislation was de signed to remove. We, who are dependent upon the nation's press to inform the pub lic, ask that you investigate, se riously, the economic effects that passage of this legislation would have. VcIn Mail Hug Problems for which veterans Ihe specialized help of Veterans Administration social workers have not decreased in the years since Korea and World War II. Indications are that sick and di abled veterans have only traded wartime problems for peacetime ones. In fact, the VA social work case load is increasing. Roger Cumming, the agency's social work chief in Washington D.C., said today his division com pleted service for more than 250, (100 veterans in fiscal 1957, as compared with approximately 248,- 000 during fiscal 1956. Vacancies for social workers exist at VA hospitals and outpa tient clinics across the nation Those who hold a graduate degree in social work may apply for VA employment to the Central Board of U.S. Civil Service Examiners, Veterans Administration Central Office, Washington 25, D.C. Growth of the veteran popula tion, aging of veterans, and the increasing number of mental pa tients leaving VA hospitals under social work supervision are major factors in producing a larger VA social work caseload, Mr. Cum ming said. VA hospilals released 5.6O0 men ial patients lo return lo their home communities under social work su pervision during the first six months of fiscal 1958. he said. The totals of VA menial patients so released were 11,169 for the en tire fiscal year 1957 and 10,837 for fiscal 1956. QUESTION OF THE WEEK Q. I'm a Korea veteran and my deadline for starting school under Ihe GI Bill will come next sum mer, August 1959. Can I make application as late as next August for going to school, and then start class in September? A. No. You must aclually be in school, within three years from Ihe date of your discharge. It is not enough to apply on time, with the intention of beginning after your deadline. Wliii Mood Oils By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Written for NEA Service The white blood cells play an important part in the resistance of Ihe body to infection and possibly n other functions. They increase in number in the presence of many kinds of infec tions. Usually there are about 7.500 white blood cells in eacli cubic millimeter of blood fas com pared with about five million red cells I. Because there are so many more red cells, Ihe white cells can be counled salisfactnrily only when Ihe red cells have been destroyed hy a special solution. The count of the number of while cells is made by taking a measured quantity of blood and putting it into a solution which dissolves the red cells. After mix ing. some of the solution is placed between two glass slides which have markings that can be seen under the microscope. The distance between the glass J Subscription Rates CARRIER I MONTH t 1 50 6 MONTHS 1 9 00 t YEAR 118.00 MAIL I MONTH $ 1.50 6 MONTHS $ 8.50 1 YEAR $15.00 slides is known. Thus the white cells can be counted under the microscope and the calculation of the number of per cubic millime ter of blood made by simple arith metic.. This while blood count is an im portant test in studying the blood. For example, the while blood count is almost always higher than norma! in acute appendicitis. The number of white cells is also in creased in many infections, so that it is not a test for any one dis ease, but rather a reflection of some infection or disorder of the body. Mrs. R. E. has recently asked what causes the white cells to drop in number and stay that way. The general name for such a sit uation is leukopenia. It commonly results from some poisons or drugs. It can be serious if the pa tienl is attacked by an infection because there may not be enough white blood cells left to fight the disease germs. In addition, there is a specific disease called agranulocytosis This is characterized by lessen ing in the number of leukocytes, or white cells, and is accompa nied by ulcerations in Ihe mucous membranes and elsewhere. A person who acquires agran ulocytosis is usually quite ill, has a high fever, sore throat and head ache. This is a serious disease and active treatment of it with all measures available is in order. Unfortunately, however, its exact cause is still not clearly under stood. In general, Ihe leukocytes, or white blood cells, must be consid ercd important to Ihe functioning of the human body. Counting them is an important aid in diagnosing diseases. This test is therefore done for almost everyone who goes to a hospital or a doctor's office. hanks Montague (To the Editor) I want lo thank Ihe merchants of Klamath Falls for all the wonder ful gifts I received when I was rodeo queen.
