WYNNE I noticed with some concern that late last week an accident victim near Fort Klamath was picked up by the Chiloquin ambulance, and later had to be transferred to the Peace Ambulance after a break down occurred in the Chiloquin ambulance. The question of ambulance serv ice has beon one of controversy now for some time, and is long overdue for clarification. I'm not going to take any sides In the issue of who should have jurisdiction to operate where, but there are some aspects of this controversy which should be aired (or the public's knowledge. The community ambulances have come into being with one now headquartered at Tulelake, anoth er at Lakevicw, and still another at Chiloquin. These community ambulances are on a volunteer basis, and in itially were subscribed and organ ized to meet the specific needs of a community. In the case of the Tulelake and Lakevicw ambulances there ap pears to be little controversy with that of Peace's ambulance in Klamath Falls. However, in the case of. the Chiloquin community ambulance reports indicate that they have ceased to exist just for the serv ices of their community, but have begun answering calls from any where in the northern reaches of the county, including highway ac cidents. Ordinarily this is commendable, except it is posing some problems There is little coordination be tween the Klamath Falls ambu lance owned by Felix Peace and the community owned ambulances. Peace will get a call to an acci dent scene up north somewhere, and by the time he gets there the Chiloquin ambulance is already on the scene. Certainly the point is lo get the Injured to a hospital or medical attention just as quickly as possi ble, but thcro are other factors that should be examined in light of possible future events. Peace has threatened to limit his ambulance's activity to about a five or 10 mile radius of Klam ath Falls. He reports that every- time he has to make a run and plays second fiddle to the Chil oquin ambulance he loses money His point of contention was that such community actions if extend ed indiscriminately would tend to drive his ambulance out of busi ness, leaving the entire county's ambulance needs on a voluntary basis, which at best is makeshift. In this controversy, I'm not go ing to get involved beyond point ing out that it can one day re sult in a very serious and tragic accident, me. lime could conic when an accident occurs or some one badly needs an ambulance and Peace will not go because the Chiloquin ambulance (ails to res pond because it is out-of-order or unmanned .... and those involved die. Moves should he taken now by the county court or other agencies to iron out this problem before such a tragedy does occur. The olhor day was a case in point, although the person luckily was not injured so seriously that almost an hour in the back of an ambulance didn't damage more . . . hut it mit;ht have. The scope of activity in which a community ou-ntd ambulance can operate should be clearly defined by the court. Also, there should be a sot ol standards compiled regard ing the type of equipment that an ambulance must have such as oxygen, plasma, etc. A standard of requirement should also be set up that ambulance drivers or at tendants must meet such as fust aid. etc. The people of the county have a right to better protection in this ambulance matter than they arc currently getting. Let's hope some thing can lie done In clear it up before it takes a tragedy to force It to be done. That one way lo get rid of dandelions is to keep rabbits around your house. They love dandelion roots, plus everything that grows in your garden, too.

But why wait? There's no need lo guess much ihout Vice President Nixon for the time being, since right now he seems to have the inside track for the Republican nomination. But it's a free-for-all among Democrats and will continue so. A dozen Democrats with the presidential conventions still two .ears away already arc being mentioned as maybe having a chance for . their party's nomina tion. Thai's about par for the course. Ilighl now the Democrats don't have one outstanding possibil ity. Strangely, not much mention has been given recently to Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas as the Democratic candidate. Per haps that's because this leader of ambitions, Maybe he hasn't. But he'd be extraordinary if he didn't. It's this writer s guess he s a man to watch. Saying right now he has no presidential ambitions and yielding later to pressure, internal or external are different things Pressure in 1960 would force him into a decision because his current Senate term ends that year. Johnson couldn't run for both the Senate and the presidency. He looks like a cinch to be re-elected if he runs for the Senate again. But if he Tan for Ihe presidency and lost, he'd be out of the Senate The Democratic parly m 1960 may be torn apart in a split be tween Northerners wanting a strong civil rights plank and Southerners burning over the pub lie school integration issue. It's possible in such a situation Johnson might be used as a com promise candidale to pull the party together. For, while he's a Southerner, it was through his Senate leadership that Congress last year passed the first civil rights bill in this century. It was a compromise bill, to be sure. It wasn t as much as the Northerners wanted. It was more than the Southerners wanted. Nevertheless, Johnson steered it through. He's run up a remarkable rec ord for getting things done in a Congress where the Democrats outnumber Republicans and run the show, although Republicans control the executive branch of the government. How does he get Ihings done? Through a combination of things: he's a compromiser, plays friend ly, avoids personal attacks, keeps windbagging to a minimum, and does favors for his fellow senators who thus become his debtors. Johnson in the Senate could have done nothing, of course, un less the Democrats who control the House went along. And they do, under the leadership of John son s fellow Texan, Speaker Sam Rayburn Rayburn is out of all possible consideration for the presidency. He's 76 now, will be 78 in 1960, Johnson, on the other hand, has youth on his side. He'll be 50 next week, only 52 in 1960, At one time a bad heart attack might have finished any poli Ileum s ambitions for the White House. Johnson had one in 1955. That seemed to spell the finish for him for any job beyond the Senate. But a few weeks later President Eisenhower had a similar attack and then went on lo win re-election in 1956. Where Eisenhower slowed down after his attack. Johnson resumed his old pace. And Johnson still has two more sessions of Congress in 1959 and I960 lo build himself up for national consideration before the 1960 presidential elections. Alum Plan By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Slowly but surely. President Eisenhower's Atoms (or Peace plan is taking shape today. The expense and international red tape have been a drag, but American corporations have set up nuclear reactors abroad, are building more and have contract ed for still more. At least 20 can he tallied. The President launched the plan nearly five years ago in his last previous appearance at the United Nations belore he presented there last week the Middle East De velopment Plan.

AOOv: Talk of atomic powered sub marines to carry oil and other cargo under the North Pole also is stirring imaginations. But some actual projects' are in place on dry land. The progress will be checked next month in Geneva at the U.N.'s International Conference on Peaceful Use of Atomic Energy. An American built mobile radio-isotope labora tory is on the way there. Later it will tour Europe to give training courses to students. American Machine & Foundry and its A.MF Atomics division have stepped out fast. They report 16 nuclear research reactors cither completed or underway in the United States, Canada and overseas. Among them are reactors com pleted for the Ministry of Educa tion in The Netherlands and for a laboratory at Munich, Germany Other AMF reactors are under construction or in various draw ing board stages for Canada, Aus tria, Greece, Portugal, Italy, Iran Israel, Japan and Puerto Rico. Westinghouse Electric Interna tional has licensed manufacturers in Belgium, Italy and West Germany to build and sell pres surized water reaclors. A Belgian thermal reactor is expected to be operating by the end of 1959 Edisonvolta, S.P.A., large Italian utility, reports it will get one. GEs atomic division reports one of its 3.000 thermal kilowatt reactors will be in operation next month near Madrid, Spain. Under construction are GE re actor plants in Venezuela and For mosa. A West German utility an nounces it has contracted for a GE reactor to go into operation near Frankfurt by the end of 1960. GE s reactors are built by its Atomic Power Equipment De partment at San Jose, Calif. Peaceful atoms are being harnessed here and in England to produce commercial power, but much of the nuclear reactor work here and abroad so far has been for research and training. The U.S. has bilateral agreements with 24 nations to set up such programs and has appropriated five million dollars toward paying half of the reactors' costs. AMF says its reactors will be used to activate materials (or en gineering tests, such as food pro cessing and sterilization, biologi cal reaction by radiation, and de termination of wear in machinery. The President's Atoms for Peace plan has led to selling up the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. And the U.S. Congressional Joint Atomic Ener-1 gy Committee last week approved legislation to give American aid lo Euratom. This is an atomic pool being set up by France, Italy, West Germany, The Netherlands. Belgium and Luxemburg to put atoms to peaceful labors. Thanks Klamath Falls (To the Editor) Thanks, everyone.

GIVE A LOOKV"" Unknown Political Future Facing Senate GOP Leader WASHINGTON UPD Bill Knowland, Republican leader of the Senate, is quitting soon to face a clouded political future in Cali fornia, and most of the Senate will be sorry to see him go. Many senators found it easy to disagree with Knowland but few of Item ever had much doubt about where he stood. They de veloped a liking for him even though they found it hard to get to know him. Like most effective congression al floor leaders, Knowland has had a foot in each of the two camps of nis party. His biggest headlines came, however when he spoke as a conservative critic of the Eisen hower administration. ' More recently he has squared Longshoremen Deny Unloading YOKOHAMA, Japan (API-Japanese opposition to nuclear weap ons again today blocked the un loading of Swiss guided-missile equipment which defense officials say cannot take atomic warheads. The Japan Longshoremen's Un ion, backed by the opposition So cialist party and a host of leftist groups, refused to touch the mis sile cargo that arrived Sunday. It called the shipment a step to ward aiming Japan- with atomic weapons. Japan's defense agency started negotiations four years ago with the Conlraves-Oerlikon Co. of Zu rich to import the missiles and get them into local production for Jap anese defens6 , ical force off against labor leaders and pressed for a federal law to guar antee democracy in unions and a state right to work law in Califor nia. Uhether this tack was politi cally wise will not be known until November when Knowland will win or lose the race for the gov ernorship of California. He is now the underdog. Regardless of the political con sequences, it could be taken for granted that once Knowland had chosen his road he would stick to it whether it led to Sacramento or political oblivion. It has been five years since the late Sen. Robert, A. Taft hand picked Knowland, then 45, as his successor lo lead the Republican side of (he Senate. Knowland also inherited Taft's role as chief spokesman for the conservative wing of the GOP, although he had been something of a Young Turk in his earlier years. Both Taft and Knowland were less conservative than some of their warmest admirers. They had other qualities in common, too. Both were tireless workers and strong partisans, willing to do their homework and unwilling to disguise their no-nonsense feelings with diplomatic niceties. Knowland at first lacked the sensitivity needed to calculate what the Senate could or could not be persuaded to do. But he learned fast, even if he never ac quired the finesse of his Demo cratic counterpart, Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson. Still only 50. Knowland could be a commanding figure as governor of California in later election years. If defeated, he would be virtually dead as a national pout- DEVICE TELLS SEX LOS ANGELES -1 LTD The International Telephone and Tele graph Co. announced Sunday the development of a complicated de vice which can tell men from women.
