HERALD ANT) NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY. AUGUST IS. 1WS I V AGE 6 A FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr Ph. TV 4-4752 jtVood Area ; By BILL JENKINS ;Once again the West has lived tip to at least part of its name as the land of the great outdoors. :In the whole roster of states it Was only the Pacific Flyway that weathered the surveys and came out with the same season as last ypar. Duck and goose hunters in llja Atlantic states will have to settle for less than they had last year. Those in the other flyways Jvill have shorter seasons and hag JirDits than ws do as a matter pt; course. ' According to government figures the ducks and geese are on the decline in the East. Here in the West they have held up at least well enough that we can have a 95-day season and a bag limit of ten ducks lone more than last year I think) if you have at least lour wigeon or pintail in the bag At least we can have the 95 days if we adopt a straight sea son. A split season would mean a cut to 86 days. In this respect we might men tion that It is not the loss of the nine days that hurts, it is the fact that the season on the last half is so late as to preclude any hunting in the cast of the moun tains area. Brood counts in the Klamath Ba sin were made some time ago and showed up rather poorly as com pared to last year. I have the fig ures but haven't had time to break them down yet. Most of the tran sects, however, showed a loss of 40 to 50 per cent. This docs not necessarily mean that there will be a lack of ducks this fall. Other factors could enter in, such as more water this year over a larger area, the fact that the counts were made early and several others. On the whole, however, it looks like we should have good shooting this fall. Perhaps this is merely pre season optimism. But I think not. There is too much in favor of the shooter this year. It just doesn't seem possible that we could have a dead-loss season. At least it doesn't look like It now. Confusion Makers By FLOYD L. WYNNE I found on my desk today one answer to the question as to why so many Americans appear to be so confused on some issues these days. One release came from the American Friends Service Com mittee In Portland, and the other from the United Nations Scien tific Committee studying radio activity and its effect on humans The Portland story reads in pnrt, "Basing their plea on moral grounds, 147 Oregon ministers have called upon the United States to- secure an international agree ment to suspend all nuclear wca- 4ahs tests." "This announcement was made Wednesday, Ihe 13th anniversary "of the United States atomic bomb- Jng of Hiroshima, by the Amen can Friends Service Committee in 'Portland. "Tlie ministers represent 71 Ore gon communities and 14 Christian denominations. "The appeal was addressed to President Eisenhower, Secretary of Slate Dulles and John A. Mc Cone, chairman of the Atomic En ergy Commission. It asked that each work to bring an end to U.S. tests in Ihe Pacific, and 'to bend all possible efforts to secure agreement with the other nuclear powers which will suspend all nu clear weapons tests.' " It lists tho ministers as being Irnm all Oregon communities in cluding Klamath Falls. It does not gives names. On the face of It, It appears that the ministers, though their in tentions are probably of the best, aro none-the-less trying to be ex ;pcrts in the foreign relations field It leads me to wonder who or wny or now such a campaign is inaugurated, and .what purpose it hopes to serve. Perhaps it's my suspieious na ture. but it would seem that such a project could only do harm not to the forces of communism. but to the forces of the free world The ministers who signed such a petition certainly had little or no knowledge about the actual elleets of radiation on future generations They had to take somebody's word for it that such radiation was harmful. Who's word . . , and why is that person or that or ganization putting out information that, at the lime, was still being studied by a 15 nation I'.N. scien tific committee of experts on the subject? You'll notice, as I did, that the U.N. committee did come out on Monday with the results of more than two years study on the sub ject. They did not call for the suspension of nuclear weapon test-ingl Entered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls. Ore. on August 20. 1906, under act of Congress. March 8. 1871 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS . AUDIT BUREAU OF ORCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California They did, in their 228 page re port, state that small amounts of radiation are likely to cause harm ful genetic and perhaps other ef fects such as cancer and leukemia. However, they did take a realis tic view of the matter by refusing to call for test suspensions, leav ing that 'to other groups more qualified to handle it. They also qualified their warn ing by saying that presept at tempts to evaluate radiation ef fects on man can produce only tentative estimates with wide mar gins of uncertainty. Contrast these two approaches . . the one by ministers of Ore gon, calling for suspension of nu clear tests, and the other by a 15-nation group of scientific ex perts who report great uncertainty over harmful effects of radioac tivity. I think this is one of the many ways in which the average Ameri can is being thoroughly confused. Nuclear weapons constitute our primary line of defense right now. To agree to ban them, without adequate safeguards would be to lay ourselves open to quick and unmerciful communist conquest. Despite the fact that the Ameri can Friends Service Committee has time and again found itself delving into this particular field of international politics and support- ing such causes as this, I prefer to believe that their intentions are well meant, but their knowledge of the subject on which they em bark is subject to questioning. I notice one startling fact in the entire program. I did not note that the appeal was ever directed to the leaders of Communist Russia, but rather appeared to put pres sure on our leaders to capitulate to the Russian demands of sus pension of nuclear tests without adequate safeguards. They may have meant to add Ihe words "adequate safeguards," but it was not what they said. And inasmuch as they did not, it would appear that they are do ing more of a disservice to Amer ica than they are a service to mankind. Salmon Wk By FLORENCE JENKINS The food industry continues to crowd special weeks upon the de fenseless public. A relative newcomer to the list is National Canned Salmon Week which has been set this year for August 25 through 30. Actually, salmon are interesting historically as well as gustatorial ly. There is proof that prehistoric man appreciated the artistic quali ties of this favorite fish. Excava lions have brought to light a pre historic carving on a reindeer bone showing a reindeer wading through a river in which a school of salmon arc disporting. In 77 B.C., Pliny wrote that "the river salmon is preferred to all fish that swim in the sea." The statement is not as ambiguous as it would- first appear, because salmon, a salt water fish, seeks the river's upper reaches for spawn ing. Salmon was an important item on the menu long before the birth of Christ. History shows that salm on was well established as a ta ble delicacy in Caesar's day. It was Caesar's army of vic torious imperial legions which is given credit for naming this king ( ' fish. Camping on the banks of the Gargonne on the march to conquer Britain, the soldiers saw a school of silvery fish leaping and gleaming in the sunlight. They christened this fish the "leaper" or Salmo which is still the ictliy ological family name of salmon today. At least, that's die way we heard it. Pogo t n TO WIN!

AVWALS CA MAS w Customs losls By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-One of the greatest mistakes made, by the American Indians was their fail ure to set up customs posts all along the Atlantic Coast shortly after Columbus first landed. Had they done so they could easily have checked the mass emigration from Europe to a drib- ble, and they'd still own most of the continent. But, no, they chose to fight the white man with wea pons instead of the law's delays and look what happened to them! But the custom of customs in spection has spread now through out the world. Half the ordeal of traveling abroad today lies in go ing through customs or rather, in waiting to go through. The elements of the situation are always the same: (a The customs inspector tries as long as possible to keep you from enter ing his country, and (b) you try to get past him and into the coun try as soon as possible. There are a few tricks, howev er, which veteran travelers find sometimes speed them through the barriers. Here are a few: 1. Tell the customs man you are a secret courier from Washington, D. C, sent to expedite a loan to his country. To make it more plausible, offer to lend him a buck. 2. If you are in France, whisper that your wife is enceinte. The French, who are crazy about motherhood, will rush her to a hos pitalfrom which you can remove her to a hotel, (If you want to at tend Ihe Folies Bcrgere, you might even leave her in the hos pital overnight). 3. Speaking just a few words of his native tongue is often helpful, as it shows the customs man you are really interested in his coun try. (This doesn't work in Britain, however, where they distrust any Americans who speak English). 4. Never bribe a customs agent yourself to speed up his inquisi tion. Let your wife do it. It's cheaper. Women can always get more for less money. 5. Never brag you've got influ ence. They'll know you're lying People with real influence don't have to announce it. It goes ahead of them like waves. Faint. When the customs agent picks you up, faint again. After he's picked you up several times, he'll be glad to stamp your baggage to just get rid of you. 7. Pretend you re in no real hur ry. Open a bottle of wine and spread a picnic lunch. This strate gem doesn't work well, however. in countries whose customs agents arc poorly paid. They'll join in the fenst and won't admit you to their country until the last crumb is gone. 8. Lie down on the pier and cry There's something about a grown man in tears that softens even the heart of a customs agent. 9. Tell them you're a diamond smuggler. This is admittedly a drastic step, but after all they can't take you to jail without lirst letting you into the country. After you've outwitted the cus toms agents of halt a dozen for cign countries, comes the acid test on your return homo. All travelers since Marco Polo have agreed that tho toughest part of a trip abroad lies in getting back into your own country when the trip is over. r.s. itomis By ELMER C. WALZER I'PI Financial Editor NEW YORK (I'l'P - Talking about margins, you really can operate on a shoestring if you buy government bonds. The going rate for these issues hcwpv.cwi." i is v C6?

If you take a U S government bond to a bank you can borrow up to 95 per cenl in some institutions. That's a five per cent margin. If you buy a stock right now. however, you must put up $70 out of each tlOO of stock bought. The remainder of 30 per cent can be borrowed. This is the working of the new 70 per cent margin. If you buy a new government bond in a bond offering you put up 10 per cent with your order and don t have to put up the re. maindcr until a week or so later This low-margin stuff is said to be a deterrent to the government bond market. Too many specula tors. There have been a great many free riders on government bonds in recent offerings. These free rides aren't what they once were. Time was when you bought a U.S. government in a new issue, you just couldn't help making a profit soon after the trading start ed in the issue. That was a time when the gov ernment was artificially keeping interest rates low to help the gov ernment bond market. Today you take a big chance if you essay to take a free ride in government bonds. A free ride, incidentally, isn't free all the way. It involves hav ing some money to put up when you buy a government bond. The way it's done is like this: The treasury is floating a new bond issue at par and you believe the price will rise in the over-the-counter market after the flota tion. You put up $100,000 cash and buy $1,000,000 in government bonds. Then let's say the market rises a point. That's a one per cent $10 on a $1,000 bond. If you bought $1 million in governments and the price rose 1 per cent, you could sell the bonds and take your profit which would be $10.000 not bad for a day or two of waiting. The recent market shows the thing doesn't always work that way. If you have a profit you can sell your holdings and realize it. But if the bond goes down you're stuck with a loss at a time the Federal Reserve Board of the Treasury is clamoring for its money. Then there's only one thing to do and that's dump the bond at whatever price it will bring. A lot of people were struck on recent Treasury offerings. They had to sell in a market where nobody wanted to absorb the is sues. Everybody wanted to buy more stocks on margin and didn't want to buy bonds. The net result was a sharp drop in government issues with selling pressure mounting- And at the same time there was a drive to buy more stocks to act as a hedge against inflation for one thing. Inflation pressures have mount ed as traders got out of bonds and into stocks. The bond holders could be held if the interest were high enough. The Treasury has been trying to keep interest as low as possible to keep the payments down, and perhaps it has erred on the low side. A high coupon bond would be a swell thing for tho investor but it would work havoc with the budget. Aluminum Engine ' By DAVID J. WILK1E AP Automotive Writer DETROIT (AP) - An all-aluminum car engine may be headed for early volume production. One industry rejiort, uncon firmed, has it Chevrolet is con sidering Its use in a planned smaller car, possibly for 10. Of the various major engineer ing projects the industry has un der way, Ihe aluminum engine ap pears to be the best bet for early use. The Industry's engineers know how to make it. They also know how to build a free piston and a gas turbine engine. But engineering sources talk more seriously about the alumi num unit than any other engines currently under test. A major rea son is that it will effect a big weight reduction probably 30 per cent. Such a reduction has nu merous advantages, including im proved brake efficiency. Among problems still to be solved arc such things as tougher lining for cylinder walls and the present high cost of materials needed for this purpose. But alum inum proponents say the lighter metal is more easily machined and that culling tools last much lone er in processing aluminum than they do with cast iron. Industry experts are beginning to talk about aluminum engines providing the next major advance in internal combustion engines. The industry has tried out sev eral types ot ensinos; it probahlv will test numerous others. But most authorities are convinced cars of ISM and 1970 will continue to use internal combustion engines.

Charge Denied By Cheryl's Dad LOS ANGELES (AP) Restau rateur Stephen Crane denies any responsibility in the slaying of Johnny btompanato. Crane's denial yesterday was in answer 'to a $500,000 Superior Court suit filed in behalf of Stom panato's son John III, 10.

Cheryl told authorities she fa tally stabbed Stompanato last April 4 to protect her mother. A coroner's jury ruled the killing justifiable homicide. Naval Officer Given Six Years SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) young ensign sabotaged his ship so he wouldn t have to leave his wife, says the Navy. Ens. James L. Johnson, 23, of Long Beach, Calif., was ordered dismissed from the Navy and sen tenced to six years at hard labor. The Navy said Johnson caused $3,100 damage to his LST last January by placing metal mate rials and tools in the ship's pro peller gears. The ship made re pairs and sailed for the western Pacific without Johnson. Johnson, who pleaded innocent to the charges, said his wife Pa tricia, 20, was so upset he feared to leave. City Moves To Erase Skunks SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) The scent of battle fills the air today as Sacramento moves to wipe out an invasion of skunks. Poundmaster George Martin es timates there may be 500 concen trated in southwest Sacramento. The city hired Walter Sims, a professional trapper and expert on skunks. He has caught six. "This is an all-out battle," said Martin. "I mean it's a serious thing." Lyle Ackerman agrees. He tried to dislodge a skunk from a hole by pulling its tail.

A vociferous champion of Ne gro rights in Congress, he was recently charged by the National Assn. for the Advancement of Col ored People with a kind of racism in reverse. Racial issues were im portant in his campaign against City Councilman Earl Brown, his vanquished opponent in yester day's primary, although both are Negroes. Brown, while fighting for civil rights, takes a calmer approach. A spokesman for teeming Har lem, Powell owns two expensive sports cars and makes no secret of his taste for fine wines and choice cuisine. He is 49. A Baptist minister with a strong louowing in preponderantly Ne gro Harlem, he has been mar ried twice, once to an actress. then to a jazz pianist. The first marriage ended in divorce. He has a son by his second wife, Hazel Scott. During his campaign against Brown, he referred to his 55-year- old opponent as an Uncle Tom a Negro term for a colored per son regarded as subservient to white people and to Tammany leader Carmine DeSapis as Mas- sa Carmine." A Democrat and practical pol itician, Powell supported Presi dent Eisenhower in the 1956 cam paign because, he said, he felt Ihe Democrats did not take a strong enough stand on civil rights. As a result. Tammany Hall dropped him this year after sup porting him in seven successful previous elections. But even when he received its support, Powell was often feuding with Tammany over his refusal to cooperate with it at all times. I can t be bought, he explained.

CJ He is awaiting trial on charges of evading federal income taxes. Powell has pleaded innocent. In Congress he has introduced a multitude of civil rights bills, including many antidiscrimination riders (amendments) to major legislation. To the political arena, as to the pulpit, he brings a dramatic, even flamboyant oratorical style. Adam Powell, with all his faults, is a valuahle asset to the Negro movement." says a top NAACP official. "It's true that he is not especially useful to as a congressman. Nevertheless, when he makes a speech, in or out of Congress, he has the ability to dramatize? a situation, to focus attention on some problem vital to the Negro, to shatter the com placency that all too often ob scures Negro needs. "Negroes as a whole look on Powell as a kind of lovable Peck's Bad Boy,' " the spokes man said. Born in New Haven. Conn.,-the grandson of slaves, Powell has spent most of his life in New York. His political career began in 1951, when he won election as the first Negro on the City Council He ran on the Republican, Fusion, and American Labor party tick ets.
