In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Good news which you may not
nave heard:
The National Industrial Confer
ence Board (a private, non-political
organization! reports the first
drop in the cost of living in more
than two years. The drop came in
July and amounted to one-tenth
of one per cent.
It was due, the N1CB says, to
dips in food, housing and wearing
apparel costs.
That is to say:
If in July you spent $100 for
Items included in the National In
dustrial Conference Board's index
of consumer prices, the July drop
in the co6t of living saved you
TEN CENTS.
Don't scoff:
nemember these proverbs 'prov
erbs are pithy words of wisdom
distilled out of the experience of
centuries):
A penny saved is a penny
earned.
Many a mickle makes a muckle.
Every little bit added to what
you've got now makes just a lit
tle bit more.
The item reporting the July
drop in the cost of living carried
a brief footnote. The footnote
reads: "The drop brought a sigh
of relief from ECONOMISTS, who
have been disturbed by the steady
rise in prices."
Why?
Well, economists are students of
FACTS. As students of facts, they
are aware that steadily rising
prices mean INFLATION.
Also
As students of fads
They are aware that over the
long pull inflation is bad for every
body and is especially bad for
people who are looking forward
to retiring on a fixri income so
cial security, for example.
Unfortunately, the economists
are more or less alone in FEAR
ING inflation. Too many of the
rest of us are enamored of it.
All politicians adore inflation.
They adore it because inflation en
ables governments to go on spend
ing and spending without RAIS
ING TAXES to provide the money
that is spent. Continued inflation
involves the printing of a lot of
new money (in one form or an
other) rather than taking all the
money out of the people s pockets.
Speculators love inflation
STATESMEN, of course, deplore
it. Statesmen know there is no
such thing as something for noth
ing.
Klamath Known
As Tourist Site
Klamath County's reputation as
a tourist spot was rather well es
tablished at a national convention
in Portland last week, with some
help from our county s representa
tives.
County Judge C. H. Mack said
the encouraging evidence was ap
parent at the National Associa
tion of County Officials Convention.
One group from Florida flew into
Portland early, then rented a car
to visit Crater Lake before the con
vention opened. Another two-c a r
party from Louisiana asked how to
visit both Crater Lake and the Red
woods on the shortest route home,
and were eagerly directed via
Klamath Falls.
During the convention, side trips
were made by chartered bus to
Bonneville Dam and the Oregon
Coast. On both trips, Klamath
County's representatives used the
opportunity to promote attractions
at home.
"We ran into any number of peo
ple who had been down here in
this part of the country," Mack
said.
ARTIFACTS from more than 40 Klamath Basin collections
are being arranged and labeled for the Klamath Art if ac
tors' first artifacts show to be held at the Klamath County
Museum which opens at I p.m. on Friday, Roy Carlson,
museum curator, left, is shown discussing an Indian pipe
(recovered from Lower Klamath lakebed and part of the

Totis, 60, died of a heart attack
Wednesday after reading his an
nual income tax demand from the
povernment.
The exhibit of Indian artifacts
which is being labeled and ar
ranged in the Klamath County
Museum for the three-day show
starting on Friday will be the most
complete showing of artifacts ever
held in Klamath Falls.
There is no charge for the
show which is sponsored by Klam
ath Artifactors, Inc., a group of
persons interested in collecting and
studying representative items of
early Indian history and culture,
Eugene Favell and Lane Smith
are co-chairmen of the group's first
show.
Roy Carlson, curator at the mu
seum, is assisting in the groupings.
In the accompanying picture, he
was holding one of the Indian
pipes from the collection of Ken
McLeod, The muller, or mano, at
far left in the picture is also a
McLeod artifact and it was used
originally for grinding grain.
The club shown in the fore
ground of the picture is a "slave
killer" which was found on Link
River and is a part of Leroy
Gienger's collection at Chiloquin.
The piece at far right on the
table is a sort of plate with han
dle attached. These "dishes" were
in common use on the Pacific
Coast for catching the grease
while salmon and sea lion were
being cooked. Carlson says they
were probably traded up the
Klamath River.
"One interesting thing to be
shown will be a set of 16 round
stone balls," Carlson said, "which
were found in a cache near Fort
Rock. We have no historical infor
mation as to their use."
Gaming stones are fairly com
mon, Carlson said, and he expects
some to be on display. They are
usually small plummet-shaped
stones, pointed at each end. What
games they represent are not
known, he added.
There are several "bullroarers"
in local collections and at least
one or two are expected to be ex
hibited. Carlson said that these
boomerang-shaped stones, usually
with a hole drilled through one
end, were children's playthings
among the Klamath Indians.
"They might even have been
head-scratchers," Carlson guessed.
In certain ceremonials, we know
that sharp pointed stones were
used to scratch the heads of the!
participants when, for some reason
or other, they could not use their
fingernails."
The show is open to the public
from 1 to 9 p.m. on Friday, 9
a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and
from .1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Fa
vell will present selected slides of
artifacts and diggings during Fri
day and Saturday evenings in the
lecture room of the county library.
Congress Confronted By
New Supreme Court Fight
Ike Extends
Trade Bill
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Eisenhower has signed legislation
giving the reciprocal, trade pro
gram four more years of life. It
the longest extension ever
granted by Congress.
The administration had request
ed a five-year extension, but Ei
senhower made it clear in sign
ing the bill Wednesday that he was
quite happy with what Congress
provided.
Eisenhower said, the free na
tions, "are now assured of a con
tinuity in United States trade
policy that will make possible new
international negotiations to pro
mote mutually advantageous com
mercial exchange and increased
world productivity."
The tour-year extension of the
24-year-old program is expected
to give the government sufficient
power to deal with future trade
problems arising from the new
European Common Market.
This is a union of France. Italy,
West Germany and the Benelux
countries in a common market
embracing some 160 million con
sumers. ,
Besides giving authority for the
program to operate through June
30. 1962, the legislation provides
additional powers to cut tariffs 20
per cent in return for like con
cessions from other nations.
The law also will now permit

both House and Senate, to sustain

Arab Countries Approve
Middle East Peace Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) - New
fights over Supreme Court bills
and other unfinished legislation
confronted Congress today as
leaders clung to hopes for winding
up the current session this week
end. Senate Democratic Leader Lyn
don B. Johnson of Texas set Sat
urday night as the target
for ad-
inurnment
But a big pile of work still lay
ahead the bulk of it with the
Senate.
Today, for the third day in a
row, the Senate considered legis
lation aimed at lessening the ef
fect of recent Supreme Court de
cisions. 1 Opponents last night lost a move
to quash debate on a measure
designed to prevent state laws
from being ruled invalid because
they parallel federal acts. A move
to table the bill, which is similar
to one passed by the House, failed
46-39.

for the year.
Nevertheless, he told the Sen
ate, "We hope to get out of here
Saturday night." It was the first
time he had set an adjournment
goal.
But a new snarl developed when
the Senate and House differed on
how much control Congress should
exercise over the new civilian
space agency.
The Senate, by an 86 0 count,
insisted on keeping its provision
to require that the agency obtain
congressional consent each year
for its programs. The House, by
a 236-126 vote, rejected the Senate
provision, which had been tacked
onto a compromise $3,694,805,478
appropriations bill covering a var
iety of federal programs.
The Senate requested a new
conference with the House in an
effort to break the deadlock.
There were about 125 differ
ences between the House and Sen
ate in amendments to the appro
priations measure, but all were
resolved except the one dealing
rulines in Communist cases
Should the Senate clear the
decks of the court bills, Johnson
said he hoped to move on today to
consideration oL, the foreign aid
money bill and a measure to hike
the national debt ceiling from 280
to 288 billion dollars.

WASHINGTON (AP) Robert
I Barney) Baker denied today tes
timony he left his former wife
with a brag that Gov. Averell
Harriman of New York would find
him another, and he then would
be safe from the law.
"An absolute lie! I'm not kid
ding." the ponderous .Baker, a top
lieutenant to Teamster President
James R. Hoffa. roared.
The allegation had come from
Mrs. Mollie Baker, his former
ife. in testimony earlier this
week to the Senate Rackets Com
mittee.
Baker denounced her as a very
vicious person.
Baker s present wile, tus tnira,
is Mrs. carol Ann more Bauer,
daughter of Jake More, former
towa Democratic national com
mitteeman. They were married
last April.
Baker and Mrs. Mollie Bauer
were divorced in 1955.
Just before Baker was asked
about Mrs. Mollie Baker's testi
mony, he had denied any knowl
edge of or hand In a variety ol
crimes, including killings, beat
ings, and traffic in stolen jewels.
Mrs. Mollie Baker said her mar
riaee to Baker broke up over his
attentions to a Miami blonde who
had been convicted of slaying an
other boy friend.
Baker swore to the senators tnai
he didn't use Teamsters money to
support the blonde in luxury in
1955. He said he couldn t remem
ber exactly where he did get the
money.
Baker, an ex-convict descriDeo
by police as a onetime muscleman
on the New York waterfront, said
he had no recollection of threat
ening to kill Mrs. Brougher's law
yer or trying to strangle a Chi
cago hotel man who had com
plained about his Din. Bin ne aid
not flatly, deny he did those
things.
He denied giving money to Mrs.
Brougher's lawyer, George Ever
ett, in an effort to fix the courts
on her appeal from a manslaugh
ter conviction.
Mrs. Brougher, 44, now is serv
ins a 15-vear sentence for the
July, 1954. Miami,parking lot slay
ing ol Murray uuuuis, a uuy
friend. She said he was pistol
whipping her and was shot in a
struggle over the weapon.
Baker said he could pin down
the source of only $4,000 of the
money he spent on Mrs. Brougher
in less thin a year while she wait
ed out her appeal in plush sur
roundings. Ho said hp hnrrowod that much
from Mcrt Wcrtheimcr. He identi
fied Werlheimer as a "boss" at
the Colonial Inn in Hollywood,
Fla., a night club operated by
Frank Coslello. Joe Adonis and
other mobsters.
As for the rest of the money,
Baker said, "I borrowed money
from a few people." When asked
the identity of the loaners, he re-
p ied, "I can t recollect.
He vaguely rememocrea, nu
added, borrowing some money
from a St. Louis bank. When
pressed for details, he replied, "to
the best of my knowledge, I don't
know."
He first denied asking Mike
'Trieecr Mike) Copola, notorious
Miami mobster, for money to help
Mrs. Brougher.
Under examination by commit
tee counsel Robert F. Kennedy,
Baker later said: "The only time
I talked to him (Copola) was to

Mrs. Brougher. brought under
guard from a Florida prison to
testify here, told the committee
Wednesday Copola gave her $5,-

whether it came from Baker's

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (AP)
The Arab countries, including
pro-Western Lebanon and Jordan.
today gave their iinal approval to
a Middle East peace iormula ex
pected to bring a quick end to the
emergency session of the U.N.
General Assembly.
The plan, agreed on tentatively
Wednesday in a rare demonstra
tion of Arab harmony, appeared
headed for unanimous adoption in
the 81-nation Assembly.
The heads of the 10 Arab dele
gations agreed at a private meet
ing this morning to submit the
four-point resolution endorsed by
their governments in overnight
consultations.
The plan was an Arab modifi
cation of a IVestern-backed Nor
wegian resolution now pending be
fore the Assembly, and both con
tained key points suggested by
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skjold and President Eisenhower.
But the Arab resolution shied
away from specific endorsement
of earlier proposals for either
U.N. police force or more U.N.
observers in the Middle East.
Like the Norwegian resolution.
the Arab proposal calls on Ham
marskjold to make arrangements
that would permit withdrawal of
U.S. troops from Lebanon and
British forces from Jordan.
A new feature is a reaffirma
tion of the Arab nations' pre
vious pledges not to interfere in
each others' affairs, pledges which
the Lebanese and Jordanian gov
ernments have charged President
Nasser's United Arab Republic
with ignoring consistently.
The plan was cabled to the Arab
capitals for approval. If this last
hurdle is cleared, the resolution
might be presented to the Assem
bly today, ah Arab spokesman
said. If it is adopted, the session
might end tonight or tomorrow,
An American spokesman said
the U.S. delegation "thoroughly
I approves the Arab countries" try
ing to deal themselves with the
problem of protecting the inde
pendence of each of them. But he
topped short of outright endorse
ment of the new proposal, saying
that the American delegates were
giving it close study.
Secretary of State Dulles has
tcned back to the United Nations
last night after a flying trip to
Washington for a conference with
Eisenhower. He went into imme
diate consultations with Ambassa
dor Henry Cabot Lodge on the
Arab proposal.
British foreign Secretary Sel
wyn Lloyd was understood to
feel the Arab plan would pave the
way for ending the session.
Science Ends
Nuclear Meet
Solon Cheers
Suspension Of
Atomic Tests
LITTLE ROCK. Ark. (AP)
Supt. Virgil Blossom said today
that Central High School, will
open Sept. 2 "as an all-white
high school."
GENEVA (AP) The East-West
conference on nuclear test control
ended today after recommending
a worldwide system of inspection
stations to police any future
agreement to ban nuclear weapon
tests.
The eight-nation conference held
a final formal session at which a
part of the technical agreement
reached was announced.
The seven-week conference was
confined strictly to scientific ques
tions. The Western delegates were
instructed to hold no negotiations
toward agreement on a test ban,
but only to make recommenda
tions to the governments on how
such a ban could be policed.
Advance word of the agreement
was followed by a report in Wash
ington Wednesday night that the
United States is about ready to
announce a temporary suspension
of nuclear weapons tests. The So
viet Union announced a unilateral
test suspension last March. The
third atomic-arms power, Britain,
is preparing to start a new series
of tests in the Pacific.
The experts urged that control
station staffs should have com
plete freedom of movement for
on - the- spot investigations, and
that stations should be set up at
sea as well as on land.
An announcement said the com
bined use of the various known
methods for detecting nuclear ex
plosions could make control of a
test ban feasible "within certain
specific limits."
The annoucemcnt did not ex
plain these limits.
fhe conference s published find
ings did not recommend any dot
inite number of control stations
nor a maximum effective distance
between the stations.
The announcement listrd the
following methods to be used by
the control stations: "collecting
samples of radioactive debris, re
cording seismic, acoustic and hv
droacoustic waves, and the radio
signal method, together with the
use of on-site inspection of uni
dentilied events which might be
suspected of being nuclear explosions."
WASHINGTON (API-Sen. Hu
bert It. Humphrey ID-Minn) to
day' cheered a report that the
United Mates is about ready to
announce a temporary suspension
of nuclear weapons testing.
Humphrey, chairman of the Sen
ate Disarmament subcommittee
said in an interview his staff had
been informed such a step was
under consideration.
"A temporary suspension on our
part as a prelude to negotiation
of a safeguarded agreement would
he good, sound public policy
Humphrey said. "It would win us
friends around the world, and
put us out in front in the disarm
ament field.
The White House declined either
to confirm or deny the report,
which came last night from an
informed source.
The source, asking to remain
anonymous, said the government
hopes a temporary halt might1
pave the way to a permanent in
ternational agreement for a test
suspension, with adequate safe
guards. .'
The united Stales has been con
ducting a .test series in the Pacif
ic. These tests began last spring
and are scheduled to end soon.
The Soviet Union announced a
unilateral test suspension last
Alarch at the end of a test series.
Britain has been preparing to start
a new series of tests in the Pacific.
Scientists from both Western
and Communist nations announced
agreement Tuesday on a techni
cal system for policing any test
suspension. This agreement was
reached in seven weeks of talks
in Geneva, Switzerland.
The informed source indicated
a U.S. announcement of a tem
porary halt of nuclear weapons
testing will stem from these East
West technical talks.
Asked about the reports, White
House press secretary James C.
Hagerty said last night: "As
President Eisenhower said today
at his press conference, the re
sults to date of the technical talks
at Geneva have been encouraging.
However, the experts have not yet
rendered their report. No conclu
sions based on that report have
been or could have been taken."
LITTLE ROCK, ' Ark. (AP)-
Gov. Orval Faubus today placed
the Arkansas Legislature i
standby basis for a possible call
Monday to deal with the explosive
Central High School integration
situation.
Thus it appeared that the Little
Rock School Board failed Wednes
day night to convince the gover
nor it was doing all possible to
delay re-entry of seven Negroes
into the sprawling high school.
Molt riots broke out last fall
when nine Negroes first entered
the high school, and President Ei
senhower sent paratroopers to re
store order with bayonets.
Faubus today said he plans to
send messages to the 100 House
members and the 35 Senators but
did not want to make the official
call just' yet. - -
The school board has asked a
federal appeals court to stay an
order that would send the seven'
Negroes back to the high school.
Attorneys for the Negroes had
urged the court to make the ruling
effective at once so the Negroes
could be admitted when school
starts in less than two weeks.
Dispatch of the board's request
was announced last night by Supt.
Virgil Blossom after boad mem
bers met for two hours with Gov.
Orval Faubus behind closed
doors. ,
Blossom said the board asked
the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Ap
peals at St. Louis to stay its
Aug. 18 ruling because conditions
at Centra High would be hard to

while a federal-state controversy
over integration persisted.
At St. Louis, the clerk of the
appeals court, Robert Tucker,
said the application for stay was
received this morning and would
be submitted to the court.
Tucker refused to say whether
one or all of the - judges would
consider the application. The
court split 6-1 in overturning U.S.
District Judge Harry J. Lemley s
ruling. Chief Justice Archibald K.
Gardner wrote the dissent.
Attorneys for the Negro studenti
filed a motion asking the St. Louis
court to instruct its clerk to issue
a mandate on its decision im
mediately instead of waiting the
usual 20 days. Otherwise, the mo
tion said, a lower court's order
granting a postponement of inte
gration until early 1961 would be
in effect when school starts Sept.
2 and the Negroes would be
barred. . ,
Faubus had demanded the meet
ing with the school board in an
attempt to learn in detail how it
planned to resist integration and
whether Negroes expected to enter
other white schools at Little Rock
this fall.
The governor said it was ' a
"very friendly and amicable
meeting." He added that the board
answered most of his questions but
couldn't reply to others because
it was still considering them.

Appeal Court
Grants Stay
ST. LOUIS (AP)-Thc 8th Cir
cuit U.S. Court of Appeals today
granted a stay today to its deci
sion which would return seven
Negro students to Central High
School at Little Rock.
Chief Justice Archibald K. Card
ner announced from his home at
Huron, S. D., that the seven-judge
court had agreed to grant the
stay.
Gardner, who wrote the only dis
sent in the 6-1 decision that over
turned U.S. District Court Judge
Harry J. Lemley's 2'4 -year
breather order, said the stay was
eranted so the Little Rock School
Board could appeal to the Su
preme Court.
The stay order will be In effect
until the Supreme Court acts on
the School Board s petition for re
view of the decision. The Supreme
Court is in summer recess until
Oct. 6.
The School Board has one week
lo file notice of appeal here and
file the application lor review with
the Supreme Court.
The clerk of the appeals court,
Robert Tucker, said a motion
filed by the National Assn. for the
Advancement of Colored People
and the attorney for the Negro
students would be denied. Thiis
motion asked that the appeals
court issue its mandate on its dc
cision reversing Judge Lemley
immediately.
The NAACP had said that Judge
Lemley's order would still be in
effect when school starts Sept. 2
at Little Hock if the mandate
wasn't issued immediately.
Judge Gardner said that the
seven judges of the Circuit Court
had previously agreed to the de

Chances Of
Passing Work
Measure Nil
WASHfNGTON (AP) Labor
legislation showed no signs of Ufa
today despite President Eisenhow-
cr s attempt to goad Congress into
passing such a bill before adjournment.
It was hard to find any senator
or representative who believed a
labor bill could be pushed through
in these final days of the session.
In a special statement yester
day, Eisenhower expressed disap
pointment "that the Congress has
thus far failed to enact legislation
to curb the racketeering, corrup
tion and abuses of trust and pow
er" which he said the Senata
Rackets Committee has found in
the labor-management field.
I still hope that before adjourn
ment the Congress will pass a
labor bill which will effectively
protect the working men and
women of our country," Eisen
hower added.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell also
made an appeal for action before
Congress goes home, perhaps
i this weekend.
But Rep. Charles Halleck of
Indiana, a House Republican lead
er, said in an interview: ' I m
afraid - under the circumstances
nothing will be done."
House Speaker Sam Rayburn -(D-Tex)
had no comment on the
Eisenhower-Mitchell appeals.
Neither did Chairman Graham
B a r d e n (D-NC) of- the House
Labor Committee.
Rep. Stewart Udall (D-Ariz)
said that "if either the President
or Jilitchell had spoken up Mon
day, we'd have a bill today."
It was on Monday that the
House killed a Senate-passed la
bor bill sponsored by Senators
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) and
Irving M. Ives (R-NY).
That bill would have required.
among other things, disclosure of
union finances through public re
ports to the secretary of labor. It
also would have required secret
balloting for union officers and
placed limits on terms of such
ulficers.
In appealing for Congress lo en
act labor legislation at this ses
sion, both Eisenhower and Mitch
ell criticized the Kennedy-Ives
measure as not going far enough.
They plumped for the 12-point ad
ministration program sent to Con
gress last January.
