ludian Kill
By FLOYD L. WYNNE
The House has passed its version
of the Klamath Indian Reservation
purchase bill.
This insures the Klamath Basin
against a quick-cut of the timber
stand on the reservation and pro
tects the future economy of the
Basin.
However, there are still some
big points of dilference between
the Senate bill and the House bill
which must .be ironed out in a
conference committee.
Most Important of these differ
ences is in the wording of the
sustained yield requirement.
The Senate bill required that any
purchaser ef the reservation tim
ber must agree to manage it on a
sustained yield basis for a period
of 100 years.
However, the House version does
not contain this language. Instead,
It says the purchaser must agree
to manage the lorest lands as far
as practicable so as to furnish a
continuous supply of timber.
It was intimated that this meant
the same as the 100 year provi
sion, hut I don't think it does.
At least, it certainly on the face
of It, does not carry the same
promise.
Sen. Richard Neuherger who has
been one of the guiding forces in
securing this important piece of
legislation reported yesterday by
telegram to the Herald and News:
'For your information House com
mittee report accompanying re
vised version of Klamath purchase
kill now available. Some portions
seem ambiguous and vague, there
fore, I have asked Forest Service
which will be charged with admin
istration of timber under pending
legislation to provide me with for
mal opinion as to adequacy and
soundness of Jlnuse bill provisions
dealing with sale and-or operation
of Klamath forest.
"I will be guided by this reply
when we go to conlercnce-on hill.
If Forest Service regards House
bill as suitable, I will recommend
to my Senate colleagues that it he
accepted. If Forest Service reports
to me otherwise 1 intend to make
every effort to restore Senate Ian
guage, although of course, success
in this respect cannot be guaran
teed under existing situation."
In a similar telegram. Congress
man Al Ullman reported: "The
bill which was approved provides,
I believe, a basically sound ter
mination program. 11 now goes to
conference to iron out differences
between House and Senate ver
sions, but House action constituted
the major hurdle to final enact
ment. "This program will, In my opin
ion," Ullman continued, "provide
just compensation to the Indians,
protect the economy of the Basin,
and insure the protection of the
resource. The legislative record on
the floor clearly spelled nut the
intention of the House that changes
In sustained yield working will in
no way adversely nlfect the sound
management of the timber re
source." Basin essentials of the hill call
lor offer to private interests nl
the reservation timber first, and
then purchase of the balance by
the U.S. government ' for a sum
not to exceed $90 million. The tim
ber purchased hy the government
would in turn he managed by the
U.S. Forest Service.
It's been a long, big hurdle for
this important piece of legislation
which was so badly needed to
protect the interest of the Klam
ath Indians while at the same
lime protecting the economy and
resources of the area.
There still is, ol course, the ques
tion of whether the amount to he
received will be just compensation
for the Klamath Indians. A new
appraisal will 'probably he made,
but at least the hill insures the
Indians against a fire-sale o( then
timber which could result in a
big linannal loss for them.
It is our hope, and I feci the
hope of all those interested in
the wellate of the economy of tbe
Basin, that both versions ol llu
bill will now he compromised into
the strongest language possible to
adequately insure the sustained
yield pro isions vv hieh were the
heart of the Seoale bill.
I asree completely with Senator
Neuberger's viewpoint. If the For
est Service is convinced that sus
tained yield can be maintained
under the Irrms of the House
bill, all right, hut if it cannot, iben
an all-out battle should be waged
In reinstate the sustained' yield
provisions in the bill.
Incidentally, it wouldn't hurt if
you let either enalor Neuherger or
Congressman I'llinan know youi
feelings in the mailer also. They
would welcome a telegram from
you on the subject. They h,nc in
dicaled that such messages would

Top TuiK'Niiiilli
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK IAPI The top
young tunesmith of Tin Pan Alley
has an unusual distinction he's
never written a rock 'n' roll num
ber. "I don't have anything against
them," said Robert Allen, 31, "but
I wouldn't know how to begin to
write one.
"Most of my songs have been
ballads."
You may never have heard of
Bob Allen, a slender, dark-eyed
sensitive composer who doesn't
care much for the limelight and
would prefer to let his music
speak for him. But in the last
three years he has become the
new wonder boy of the popular
tune field.
More than 15 million recordings
of his songs have been sold since
he first hit the jackpot with "Home
For the Holidays," "You Alone,"
and ".Moments to Remember."
He followed them with such
oilier hits as "No, Not Much,"
"Who Needs You," "Song For a
Slimmer Night," "Chances Arc,"
and "It's Not For Me."
Currently Ihree of his songs arc
imong the top 10 best-selling plat
ters Doris Day's "Everybody
Loves a Lover," Pat Boone's "If
Dreams Came True," and the
Four Lads' "Enchanted Island."
Despite his boyish look Bob is
no Johnny-come-latcly to the mu
sic world. Born in Troy, N.Y., he
started playing at the piano at Iho
age of four. He helped work his
way through high school perform
ing at weddings, driving a taxi
and painting the outside of
houses.
He hit Manhattan when he was
18 and pounded piano in a number
of jazz joints before becoming an
iccompnnist for Julie Wilson,
Billy Daniels and other singers.
"I lived on hamburgers and
spaghetti for a couple of years."
he recalled. "But it seemed like
lun."
In 1952 he decided the piano had
been onty a bread-and-butter side
line with him and that his real
life wish was to compose music.
Since then he has published more
than 75 songs, thrown away at
least as many more. Usually he
writes only the music, and a col
laborator ( urns out the Ivries.
"I do it all in my head," he
said. "I don't need to play it on a
piano or write it down to tell how
it will sound. I hear it in my head.
"1 think in terms of notes, just
as a painter thinks in terms of
color and a writer thinks in terms
of words."
Many of his songs have been
composed as he walked t h e
streets of the city at night. One of
his best known, "Moments to Re
member," was written (in bis
head! on a golf course.
That was the worst game of
golf I ever played," he said, "but
it was worth it."
Bob is still young enough or
naybc mature enough lo feel
hat the money he earns is never
a real artist's biggest reward.
lhe real thrill," he said, "is lo
walk down the street and hear
omeone humming your song.
"Though you don't know him.
you are not total strangers. He
knows at least a part of you."

Associated Press News Analvst
WASHINGTON lAI'i-Washing-
nn is a little like n balloon with
he air out of it including some
hot air when Congress noils
And it's thinking of doing that hv
the middle of August.
Alter that the news coining out
of Wnsbingtnn i . pretty
much limited lo doings of the
Eisenhower administration in
cluding its problems in foreign
affairs.
Judging by lhe way things are
going overseas, and are likely to
go for months lo come, there
should be quite a lot of Washing
ton news through the rest of the
year.
Congress also will continue to
make news indirectly anyway
since all the House seats and
more than a third of the Senate
seats are up for grabs in the
November elections.
Most of the members going
home in August will be fighting
for reelection.
They'll be speaking often about
the record of a-Congress that has
faced and handled major prob
lems of defense and recession.
And since Congress has been un
der Democratic control, the Dem
ocrats will try to make lhe most
of it with the voters. There seems
no chance of their losing control
in the elections.
In a way these past months
have put Congress under pres
sures never inflicted before in
peacetime, at least with such a
peculiar kind of urgency.
Between, the time Congress quit
last summer and its return in
January, the Soviets shot up. two
Sputniks. So Congress returned in
a state of shock, confronted with
the .realization lhe Soviets were
ahead in missiles.
The result: Congress passed a
bill creating an outer space agen
cy. And under the pressure of
events in the Middle East, Con
gress gave President Eisenhow
er prolly much the kind of defense
reorganization bill he wanted.
Eisenhower also is expected to
get pretty much the kind of re-l
ciprocal trade hill he wanted.' He
wanted it extended five years. The
House agreed, lhe Senate said
three years. They'll probably
agree on four, the longest cxten
sinn in the trade act's 24-ycar his
tory. World events were an influ
ence here too.
And. while it was at it, Con
gress Ihrew in statehood for Alas
ka, boosted postal rates, increased
the public debt limit, put through
raises lor federal employes and
the military, and extended emer
gency jobless pay.
Eisenhower is still bottling lo
get as much money as he can for
foreign aid. He had asked $.1,942.
0(10,000. Congress put a ceiling of
$.t,fi75.oiHi.oflo on it.
Then the House, when it came
time to vote the actual monev.
cut almost Olio million dollars from
that amount, or close to 900 mil
lions less Ihan Eisenhower asked.
e wanls 500 millions of that
restored. Now it's up to the Sen
ate lo have its say. Since it will
probably come up with a figure
different from lhe House, the
Senate and House will finally have
to work out a compromise.
Again hero world events, espe
cially in the Middle East, gave
the President an extra and urgent
talking point lo pressure Con
gress into listening to him.
One thing, seems sure: Congress
seems certain not lo pass a gen
eral labor hill. The Senate did,
but the House is likely to ignore
it.
Inflation Hims
Hy SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Analyst
NEW YORK (API The' profit
plight of the oil companies makes
sad reading today. But it seem
ingly is being shrugged off by the
stock market bulls.
They seem more impressed hy
the world tension and the last-
growing U.S. federal delit. They
figure that these two things com
bined spell inflation and infla
tion could revive oil company
earnings, and others, so the think
ing goes. Rears take a more
sober view of falling prolits as a
threat to future dividend pay
ments. Oil company reports on their
first six months operation almost
without exception show sharp
drops in earnings from the previous-year.
Of 24 reporting so far
only three and these among the
smaller ones can show a year
lo-year gain. The other 21, inolud
ing many of the largest, show sad
shrinkage.
Combined, the 24 cleared $835,-
458,000 in the first six months ol
1958, compared with $1,293,765,000
in the first six months of 1957
The decline is 35.4 per cent.
The sharpness of tbe drop may
surprise some people, the more so
because the oil industry for years
has been among the leaders ir
year to year gains in production
sales and earnings. What went
wrong?
Among the reasons for lhe drop
this year commonly given is thai
domestic demand is only slightly
over last year, in comparison with
gains of 5 and 6 per cent in pre
vious years. For one thing the fuel
section of the oil industry has been
losing ground lo the fast-growing
natural gas industry. For an
other, the industrial recession cut
back demand.
The domestic oil companies, ex
pecting higher demand, found
themselves with high inventories
and have struggled all year to cut
them back through reduced pro
duction. The huge slocks also
have made lor price weakness in
some products.
And right through it all the costs
of doing business have been going
up wages, transportation, materials.
The squeeze on profits, there
fore, is a natural.
But there are signs that the
worst may be over. First,' remem
ber that year-to-year comparison
is loaded this time. It was in the
first few months of 1957 lhat the
Suez Canal crisis let the domes
tic oil companies make record
profits. So loday we are compar
ing recession earnings with last
year's abnormally big ones.
For another thing, many oil
companies now report that inven
tories at last seem to be gelling
into line. And this has led to the
firming of some product prices
The rising cosls factor is yet to
be licked, but some report making
progress.
The world situation looks a bit
heller today than a few weeks
back. Fears that Middle East
strife would cut off the flow of oil
for American companies operating
there have proved groundless so
far.
These could flare again. But
American companies have other
oil sources they could turn lo in
supplying Europe if Middle East
oil is again curtailed as it was dur
ing the blocking of the Suez Canal.
But probably the best reasons
lo fed the worst is over are the
growing signs that the recession
has slopped and recovery is on
the way.
A business recovery and the
inflation which the mounting fed
eral debt foretells can perk up
demand and product prices. And
in lime lhat puts new life in
profits.

LONDON (AP) - The United
States and the four non-Arab
Baghdad Pact members are ex
pected to recognize the new re
publican government of Iraq after
waiting a while.
An informal agreement to ex
tend recognition eventually was
reported at the close yesterday of
I a meeting here of the Baghdad
alliance s Council of Ministers.
Iraq, only Arab member of the
alliance, did not attend, and the
rebel government which overthrew
King Faisal has indicated it will
withdraw from the pro-Western
group.
The prime ministers of the oth
er Baghdad countries Britain,
Turkey, Iran and Pakistan plus
a U.S. observer agreed that the
future of the anti-Communist Mid
dle East alliance in its present
form depends on Iraq, inform
ants said.
As a gesture toward keeping
Iraq in the pact, the five nations
will recognize the republican re
gime as the actual (de facto)
government.
Recognition will be delayed,
however, to underline disapproval
of the killing of Faisal and other
pro-Western Iraqi leaders who
died in the -July 14 revolt.
A number of other nations, with
President Nasler's United Arab
Republic and the Soviet Union in
the vanguard, already have recog
nized the Iraqi government of
Premier Abdel Karim Kassem.
Kassem's regime has signed a
mutual defense agreement with
Nasser, who violently opposes the
Baghdad Pact.
The four alliance members and

Gov. Orval Faubus yesterday won
