TU 4-4752 Hern jiimI There By BILL JENKINS While some of us have been spending the major portion of our ' time viewing with alarm and keep - ; ing an eye peeled on the horizon lor the approach of enemy bomb ers a new menace has crawled up on us. My wife ,was mentioning this morning that maybe we wouldn't . have to wait for the hydrogen bomb to wipe us out. Maybe the bugs would get there first, This has been a rather unusual year in many years, but whatever you say about it, it has sure been a wonderful year for bugs and slugs. The place is full of 'em. Could be the hot weather or could be so much moisture early or could be a good cycle for bugs or could be the start of the bug empire or could be enemy action. Speaking of enemy action re minds me that I have a sure-fire defense for this country. Do away with the SAC and the Distant Early Warning Line. They are so much bother and worry All we need to do is protect ' our borders with common old barbed wire gates and we'll have the situation licked, There may be as much latent de struction in a hydrogen bomb as there is in a wire gate, but there couldn't be much more, I can picture it now the enemy hordes pouring down on our bor ders, slavering at the thought of loot, fresh cream and the bulging coffers of the IRD. Then, suddenly, they come to the first of the wire gates. A common soldier tries it first and falls back with a nasty gash across the palm of his hand where he missed. A corporal steps in and promptly hooks his elbow in the top strand, tearing a nasty wound open in his left arm Then an officer, bellowing with rage and sarcasm, steps into the breach, tangles fearlessly with the situation and receives a fearful clout on the ear as the lock-stick flies up and gets him. By this time the sprawling mon ster of barbed wire and stakes will have entangled half the company, hampering rescue operations by constantly writhing into fresh forms of wire all barbed Yes sir, I think that may be the answer. I defy anyone to go through a wire gate without in jury. Even if you escape physical hurt your ego will take a beating. And everyone knows that an army travels on its ego. I did my best to bring a little moisture to town yesterday. Went out in the heat of the noonday sun and washed the dog-wagon. But no clouds rolled up until two hours later and they just look one look at the parched and seared area around our homestead in the pines and went on somewhere else with their cooling waters. It looks like there just ain't hard ly nothing that will work this sum mer.

The lake had its effect, too, upon men who know it well and visit it often, but admit that they don't see it often enough: Men like Frank Tucker and Ed Brotherhood of the chamber of commerce, chamber committeemen Charley Bane and Charley Schuss, and ra dio's representatives, Gene Riesen and George Callison. Perhaps the park, and what it means, showed most clearly in the relaxed, peaceful faces of Tom Williams, the superintendent; Ray Rundell, his assistant, and Warren Fairbanks, his chief naturalist men who have made lifelong, re warding careers in park service. Crater Lake has many moods to share with each visitor, and last year it was visited by more than 350,000 different human personal! ties. The potentialities of its total impressions, its elfccts, are incal culable. Each person must find his own. To me, a visitor for the first time in 17 years (when I was a schoolboy with a box camera), it presents many thoughts. It is a magnificent spectacle that I want friends to share; it is a peaceful scene I would like to con template for several weeks with out interruption; it is a renewed challenge to study a geology text 1 bought long ago; and it is a reassuring reminder that man, even with his atomic bombs, is barely significant in the world na ture created. Crater Lake is one of life's rare experiences. It bears the unusual promise of remaining so each time you see It.

WALZER UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPD-With the government bond market in turmoil it is suggested that the treasury get busy with some long. er term conversions on the order of the recent Canadian govern ment financing. First National City Bank of New York makes this suggestion fol lowing hectic speculation in U.S. bonds that required billions of dol lars of Treasury and Federal re serve support to bring some order into the market. The Treasury support has a de flationary impact in that it takes bonds off the market. But it cuts into Treasury funds. Federal Reserve support of the hond market pumps more credit! into the economy on top of a rise of more than $8 billion in bank credit in the first half of 1958. This credit has a way of going to work and here then' is an in flationary push that is causing worry among the experts. With the bond market now show ing some semblance of stability, the Treasury still is faced with many problems: 1. It must raise $10 to $12 billion in new money to make up for a Treasury deficit this fiscal year. And it will he competing with re- covering industry which will ncedhandiwork. With the stopover of funds, 2. It must retain a market for $22 billion of 91-day bills. 3. It must refinance $46 billion of marketable certificates, notes and bonds maturing in the next 12 months. The way things look right now the financing ahead must be done through the bank of issue. In other words, the Treasury in depending on banks for its financing lends a hand to a big credit inflation. In this connection, First Nation al City Bank says: "Financing governmental defic its through banks ol issue is a hazardous business. "It raises the specter of uncon trolled inflation. . . "It can create circumstances In which government bonds can be made saleable only if .they are tied to cost of living indexes or the price of gold 'The unfortunate aspect of the Federal Reserve's massive inter vention is that it gives encourage ment to inflationary psychology." First National City says the sounder way is to follow the Ca nadian example. Canada launched a huge refunding involving about 45 per cent of the $14 billion Cana dian national debt Canada offered holders of $6.4 billion 3 Der cent victory bonds issued during World War II and due from 1959 to 1966 our non 1 PE ' ivi ovmikiA 2Tri BUT P(?AM5? j .V rot oT" J i ar w -Tg Subscription Rates CARRIER I MONTH , MONTHS $ 1.50 S 9 00 1 YEAR $18.00 MAIL I MONTH' $ 1.50 MONTHS $ 8.50 I YEAR $15.00 callable securities ranging from 3'i years to 25 years with no in vestor permitted to exchange for a maturity shorter than he held Higher coupons sweetened the issues and bonuses were thrown in. Coupons ranged to i'h per cent, the highest rate on domin ion bonds since 1932. This, says First National City, "looks good to conservative investors even in an age of creeping inflation. "The Canadian plan accom plishes at one fell swoop what Secretary of the Treasury RobeVt B. Anderson has been attempting to work out slowly, over an ex tended period of time. "The beauty of it is that the Bank of Canada is relieved from pressure to help the government with its financing problems. "This sort of step is one we should be considering." But the bank considers as most essential getting government ex penditures and financial commit ments under control -and adds: "It is not fair to ask anyone to buy bonds of a government which seems to be embarked on deficits as a way of life." Good Town Klamath Falls (To the Editor) I am one of many who read your column of August 3. Yes! We do have something to talk about. I am a newcomer to this town I am a newcomer of only two days. My original home was Los Angeles. My future home is Klam- ath Falls. At present, I am here alone. My wife and family will ar rive in a little more than two weeks. If you ask me why I chose Klamath Falls in Southern 'Oregon, I chose it for the reasons you stated in your column the beauty of the area, its historic values, the changes of season, etc. But most ly I chose it because of the friend liness of the town. When I greet anyone here with a cherry hello, I find they don't try to reach in my pocket with one hand -and stab me with the other. I get a cherry hello in response. I have words that would justly express my feelings about this wonderful country, but to make it all understood I will merely say it's God's country. He gave it the magic touch and those who do not partake of its richness are rnmmiflinp a sin apainst His tourists to see the local wonders, Klamath Falls and its area can be truly rich and I want to help. What brings me to this city? 1 came back. 1 was one of the fortu na.tes to spend time here in 1944 and 1945 while one of the Marines. It was then that I came to love this part of Oregon as my own. I met some very wonderful people then, and some of them are still here. Also, I fell in love with a girl In this town. It became every thing to me. After my discharge, I returned to Los Angeles, only to find my way back here again in 1948 and 1949. Due to my mother's untimely death, I again made the trek to Los Angeles, but with plans and hopes to return here. Why am I back? It's not only the beauty of the seasons or the whirr of the fishing reel or the crack of a hunting rifle. There are wholesome and living memories of this country that I couldn't give up. As you say, let's talk about it. Why anyone would ever want to leave this abundantly rich area and - its dynamic possibilities 1 would never understand. I want to be a part of il, to help plan its fu ture, its desires and its expansion. I will then be happy. E. E. Blanchard.

The arrival in New York of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko helped the brazen bur glars. A patrolman whose beat in cludes the 5th Avenue store was withdrawn to reinforce a guard detail for the Soviet diplomat. H was the first burglary at Tif fany's in more than 50 years. Police theorized that the bur glars pounded at the shatterproof display windows with sledge ham mers, making holes about five inches wide. A man's arm could easily fit through, each hole. The windows were not protected by a burglar alarm system. Two diamond necklaces, a dia mond ring and a diamond pin clip, all covered by insurance. were stolen. Two sapphire and diamond brooches, which sell for about $9,000 each, were ignored possibly too far away to be reached quickly. Two watchmen at the store said they had not heard the breaking of the window glass, which is five eights of an inch thick.

Please East Kentucky Secession Move Spurned By Chandler FRANKFORT, Ky. (API Gov. A. B. Chandler says as far as he is concerned, eastern Kentucky is in the Commonwealth of Ken tucky to stay. "I am obliged to keep them. This is a case for the Legisla ture," he said regarding a pro posal by a group of eastern Ken tucky residents to consider seced ing from Kentucky. The secessionists, about 100 per sons, including a state represent ative, met Friday in Whitesburg to protest what they say has been a state policy for 125 years tax ing the mountainous eastern dis trict to the benefit of the lush bluegrass area and the wealthy western counties. Their immediate demands are better roads", specifically a better road from eastern Kentucky to Lexington and Frankjort, the state capital. But there are other issues.

"Every four years we have a promise of a road on top of Pine Mountain, but ve never get any thine but promises," Collins said Collins said the movement for a new state is gaining support in several eastern Kentucky coun ties, where coal mining is the dominant industry and life has lew frills.
