A couple of scientists down in California by the name of Russell Perry and Marston Kimball have come up with a machine to mcas ure the amount of punishment vari ous grasses can withstand. The device features a series of small paddles which beat the grass. These paddles are of vari ous designs and textures and can be changed around in order to test the wearing qualities of grass for such things as friction, tearing, striking and compaction. The idea is that it will make it easier for people to choose the proper grass for cemeteries, play grounds, parks and golf courses, I suppose it is all very well, al though I am a little vague as to just what grass would he best for a cemetery. Something that wouldn't frighten easily. I suppose. But the whole thing strikes me as another step in the direction of automation and the labor saving devices. It might not he more practical, but it would certainly be a lot more human and appealing if the grasses were to be tested in action For a golf course, for instance, we could hire a firm of experts to test it for such things as divot resistance, spike-tearing, resistance to tear stains and the ability to take constant beating by clubs in the immediate vicinity of sand traps. I would imagine that this futile beating of the tear-soaked areas in question would be pretty tough on any grass. The experts could also test it out for nine holes a day, for eighteen, for thirty six and, on an overtime basis, of "course, for seventy two hole play. In the case of parks and play grounds battalions of small chil dren could he turned loose on ex perimental plots to lest grasses for shoe scuffing, diaper-pressing and root resistance to the efforts of a small hoy wielding a packet knife with one broken blade. If Ihcy would bo interested in a carefully conducted lest of the re sistance of grass to a man loafing in the shade I will gladly offer my services. In the case of cemeteries I sha have to leave it to the experts to deviso human means of testing. Perhaps wo could even use the machine here without undue criti cism. I don't know about others but I have a natural, built-in dread of burial grounds. Being half-dead anyway I don't want to strain my luck. would be war with the United States. The Chinese Reds would have an easier time snatching a couple of tiny and lightly defended islets held by Chiang off the China coast. It's unlikely the United States would fight for them. And since this country let the Reds grab the Tachcn Islands a little further up the coast a cou ple of years ago, and without a fight, the Reds may feel they can acquire a little more real estate, the islets, without trouble. By gett'ng Ihe Tachcns for free. Red China's prestige went up a bit among its Asian neighbors. Getting the islets for free now would help in the prestige depart ment too. And if the Soviet and Chinese Communists could work this dou ble switch on the United States- getting American troops out of Lebanon and acquiring a couple of islets it would be a pretty good stroke for them. that the Russians do have a won derful educational program in the afternoon. That's when the teach crs go home and the Communist party takes over. "What we do in football," Read said, "the Russians do in physics." Soviet Schools MH.ssiiig (a'auio By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) One of the penalties this country pays for nonrccognition of the Red Chinese which means we have no rep resentative in China to talk with them is that we don't know what they're up to. We guess. And there's been no end of guessing these past few days on By BILL TEAGUE Of United Press International An Ohio professor who has gath ered some first-hand information on the subject says "Don't let any body tell you the Russians don't have problems, The statement came from Pro fessor Gerald Read of Kent State University at Kent, Ohio. Read returned recently from a tour of schools in the Soviet Union. While in Russia, Read and Dr. William Brickman of New York University arranged for 73 Ameri cans to visit schools in Kiev, Mos cow, Tashkent and Leningrad. The group started on Ihe tour last week. The trip now being made re sulted from the formation of the comparative education society by Head and 600 other American ed ucators ... a group which spon sors field studies in foreign lands. Read said after the first trip to Russia the only way the Soviets would agree to lei Americans vis it tneir scnools was " that we agree to let 71) Russians visit American schools." And agree ment was made and the Russians will come to this country in No vember. The bespectacled Ohio educator says some areas in this country will be closed lo the Russian teachers. But he snys they will inspect schools in New York, Bal timore, Washington, Nashville. Tennessee, and Cleveland and Kent, Ohio. Professor Read expressed the hope that (he exchange will allow teachers from bolh nations to gain first hand knowledge of school sys tems in other nations. Read said that some groups would have you believe that Rus sian teachers are all highly paid individuals who "wallow in social prestige." But he says this is not true. Read pointed out that wherever he went in Russia, teachers told him: "What a wonderful system of education you have in America." And the professor added that he found Soviet teachers are faced with many problems: Poor pay. Alcohol Klamath' Falls (To the Editorl- Since coming to the Klamath Ba sin some 15 months ago I have enjoyed reading the editorials and the letters to the editor in the Herald and News, since they give me an idea of the community and its problems and needs. Some of the matters I have agreed with, others I have not. I do not know the policy of your paper concerning the alcohol prob lems, but if the picture and nota tion concerning alcohol in last night's paper (August 12) is any indication of your paper's and therefore the community's stand concerning alcohol, then we are in a pretty sad state. In courses in physiology in both high school and college, beer or alcohol in any form was never included in the list of needed foods for the human body. Even aside from the moral implications, there is no need for beer to be classi fied as "staple foods," along with milk and bread. There are many things that could be mentioned to support my stand on this, such as the effects of alcohol on the highway traffic ac cidents, on both juvenile and adult delinquency, the comparison of American spending on alcohol and on public education, the tremen dous problems of alcoholism, both known and unknown,-and many others. The person who drinks for "so cial reasons" is saying both to himself (or herself) and Ihe com munity that he is not "fit com pany," or a good conversationalist unless he is drunk. I realize that many will disagree with me, and have the right to do but I do not believe that it can bo shown from a medical or physiological standpoint that beer is a "staple food."

Mr. Peace should have the intes tinal fortitude to make his own complaints thus saving Mr. Wynne the taking of sides he said he did not. The Chiloquin ambulance has made four successful, swift, safe, and efficient runs to Beatty, and the residents of this community are grateful for this free and dedi cated service. As for something going wrong with the Chiloquin Ambulance, ac cidents can happen to anyone. They happen to trains, planes, boats. and cars. They happened to covered wagons, stagecoaches, and horse back riders. I am afraid we are due for a lot of them in the fu ture too. But it seems to me, and my friends here in Beatty, that the Chiloquin ambulance ought to be forgiven the accidental jiggling of a fuel pump without Mr. Wynne practically accusing them of try ing to do away with the innocent victim entrusted to their care. Another thing, why put all the blame on the Chiloquin ambulance men just because both ambulances show up at the same accident? The Chiloquin ambulance wouldn't have come if it hadn't been called. One other little cotton picking thing, we are not all millionaires, so we feel that these men who are attendants and drivers for the Chil oquin ambulance, and who have given so freely of their time, and Swimming I'ool Klamath Falls (To The Editor) I should like to take up a bit of your space, concerning our muni cipal swimming pool. It is my understanding that all children of city employes are ad mitted to the pool free, because their fathers are employed by the city. I think this is most unfair view of the fact that there are sev eral children who are cleaning up the yards of the pool for a free swim. The parents of these chil dren pay taxes too. If this is the case, I think it's high time some one did something about it. Any one agree? Apother thing that needs some attention, in my opinion, is the deck of the pool. The kids at the pool are constantly reminded to walk, not run, on the deck. The lifeguards, I'm sure, would appre ciate a little record that said, "walk, walk, walk," over and over. Nevertheless, the kids fall every few minutes. The deck is very smooth and slippery. Would it be possible to have the deck rough ened a little before next spring? Last, but not least, I, along with a lot of other adults, have been kicked, poked, splashed and nearly drowned by a lot of mighty happy kids that have had a wonderful ume ai tne pool this summer, and that is as it should be. But, please have a heart. We mothers, and fathers too, have lots of fun swimming at least we would if we could. If you could open the pool weather permitting, for a week our little people would be off to school, and to tell the truth. for one, would love to go swimming minus five or six hundred little arms, legs and bobbing heads. There should be no problem. Ad mit adults only. The kids had it all summer, so let us have it for week. Come on. mom and dad, stand up and holler. Let's all go swimming. Thanks for the space. I hope It hasn t been wasted. Mrs. R. C. Antley 2225 Vine Avenue. Pogo 94 i'XH!.1. ASU till AU ) I FSCl A00UNP TMS VVOBIP TU . Srr-. .

Suspects dragged from their beds in the "Little Algeria" slums of northeastern Paris were herded into the vast Sports Palace the "Madison Square Garden" of Pans. Teams of interrogators Question ed the suspected Arabs and ex amined their papers. It was hot certain immediately whether any signuicani information was un covered by the raids. The most recent incident of underground violence occurred in Rouen, where an Arab set fire to a gasoline storage tank Wednes day night. The saboteur was shot dead and the spread of the flames was checked quickly.

No One Decided Officially Where To Place 49th Star WASHINGTON (UPI) Alaska is about to become the 49th state but what about the flag? No one has decided officially how to go about putting a 49th star in Old Glory. The decision has been delayed even though the Alaska statehood bill cleared Congress last June 30 and there never was any doubt aoout outcome of special referen dum in the territory. Alaska voters overwhelmingly approved statehood Tuesday. All that is needed is a proclamation by President Eisenhower to make the northern territory the 49th state of the union. The new flag however won't be untuned until July 4, 1959. Several suggestions have been advanced for adding the 49th star. Some historians said Congress should appoint a commission to re-design the flag. Others main tained this is a presidential prerogative. The armed services insist that because of their sentimental in terest in the flag they should do the re-arranging. ihe final decision on how to make room for the extra star prob ably will be a joint effort.' History would give the military the edge. A bill introduced by Rep. Eman uel Celler (D-N.Y.) late in the last .session was meant to clarify the law and procedure relating to the design and dimensions of the United States flag. But it died in the Senate after receiving House approval. Ihe confusion over who should get the ball rolling arises from the fact that there is- no federal statute which fixes the propor tionate dimensions of the flag, in cluding the size and arrangement OSBORN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE.

The House Judiciary Committee, ,vhich has been digging into the subject, said that in the past :hese matters have been regulated oy custom. And a pretty fluctua ting custom at that. For example, when Arizona and New Mexico were admitted in 1912, a joint board of Army and Navy officers recommended a plan for reshuffling the stars and Pres ident William Howard Taft, by ex ecutive order, approved. But when Oklahoma was admit ted in 1907, the Navy simply wrote the War Department, sug gesting that a group of officers recommend a design. After the two departments approved a de sign, the other agencies adopted it. Prior to 1907 the military ser vices arranged the stars without executive order or legislation. Generally- speaking they followed the basic flag law of 1818 which requir.es the addition of stars on the 4th of July following the ad mission of new states. Scholars on Ihe subject say that is the only definite part of the whole thing: Alaska's star will have to be added by next July 4. America May Help Chiang WASHINGTON (UPI) U. S. officials today kept an open mind on the possible use of American military forces in the Quemoy. Matsu crisis despite reinforcement of the Seventh Fleet. They said the reassignment of the aircraft carrier Essex, with about 80 planes aboard, from the Mediterranean to Formosan area duty was a matter of getting pre pared lor action in case that were necessary. They cautioned that no decision on direct use of U. S. military forces has yet been made. Informed sources said it would be wrong to conclude from re marks by President Eisenhower Wednesday that this country has decided to defend the offshore is lands automatically in event of a Chinese Communist invasion attempt. The President told-his news con ference that Nationalists "have now deployed about a third of their forces" to Quemoy and Mat su. He said this "makes a closer interlocking between the defense systems of the islands with For mosa than was the case before." Eisenhower declined to com ment on what "military decisions" he might make because "there are all sorts of permeations and combinations" of factors to be ta ken into account. He firmly renewed this coun try's pledge to fight if necessary to defend Formosa, the National ist bastion, and the neighboring Pescadores. Buy Genuine mm For Back-To-School and get ' Stamp!
