Tough Test
By BILL JENKINS
It i not enough that mankind
has been exposed to all the tests
that can be imagined now we arc
picking on the grass.
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

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."

these are a breed of men that this

We are having a community bar

a member of the Chiloquin Fire
Department to speak. We would be

Moro Ambulance
Beatly (To The Editor) Mr.
Wynne's one sided criticism of the
Chiloquin Ambulance was apalling.
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.

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

of the stars.
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.
