;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.

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.

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.

is 10 per cent. 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.

Landslide Victor Reported
As Man Of Many Contrasts
By EDWARD NICKERSON
NEW YORK (AP)-Adam Clay
ton Powell, landslide victor in the
Democratic congressional pri
mary in Harlem, is a man of con
trasts with a taste for the dra
matic.
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.

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

Washington for his first term in
Congress. He has been there ever
since.
