But in California the situation Is perhaps more pressing than in any other area of the United States today. The problem .being simply one of too many people for the avail able space. Particularly in view of the present outdoor sport fad that is sweeping the nation. Down in California Edmund Brown, the attorney general who Is currently producing significant noises from the political drum, says that the day is nearing, and rapidly at that, when his state is going to have to lay down some ground rules to reconcile the grow ing differences between the wa ter skiers and speedboat huffs and the fishermen. Fishermen, it seems, are threat ening to break out the family mus ket and have at it heartily with the speedboat people who keep fouling up their lines. The speedboat people, on the olher hand, are reported to view the slow-speed fishermen as mere ly peasant-class members of the Mafia whose sole aim in life is to clutter up the waters of var ious lakes that could be belter put to use as waterlogged arenas for those masochists vho dabble in water skiing and speedboat rac ing. This whole situation has been growing for a long time and will continue to grow as long as there are more people with more mon ey and more leisure time every year. I suppose it would be possible (o make a boat lover out of any normal human being if the right approach were adopted and suf ficient incentive were provided. But I know for a fact that be ing a fisherman is an inborn thing and no amount of legislation, train ing, incentive, threats or bribery is going to change his viewpoint So it looks like the battle lines will be drawn tighter and light cr and (he groat hatlle will be touched off much like Sarajevo touched off Its war. It is going to pose a hell of a problem for a politician, too. He, he caught In the middle and be wrong no matter what he does. Fishermen may not have a $5,000 speedboat at their command but their place at tho polls is just as secure as anyone's. The same holds true of boaters, of course. And, in this modern world of ours, the thing will eventually have to he settled by a voto of the majority. All this will tend to prove Is whether there are more fishermen than there are boaters and water skiers. No more. All the same it would be well if Oregon took a close look at the growing menace (the horde' and started planning what we are going to do about it. Afler all. Calilornia is hound to spill over some day, and whether we like It or not, the people will then start to slop over tho boundaries and tart cluttering up our lair state. Boats, fishermen and all. And right here and now I'll tell the powers that be something: Leave off looking in my dime tion! I wouldn't be an arbiter in a matter of this sort for all the tea in China. Not even for money. I may not he much, hut I'm too young to die. Not by mob violence, anyway Robert Holmes $26,633; Mark Hat field $21,574; Warren Cill $13,413; Lew Wallace $0,132; Wiley Smith $2,692; George Livingston $559, and Albert Eichman $399. Totaling those we find that about $111,000 was spent in the primary on the campaign for governor alone. The general election will probably result in expenditures equal to if not greater than that figure. Somewhere in the back of my mind runs a figure of $75,000 to $100,000 the cost per candidate's campaign for a U.S. senator position. For representative the figure is variously estimated at b e t w e e n $25,000 and $50,000 for each canal date. That represents quite a chunk of change to be spent in the political arena. Both the American Heritage Foundation and the Advertising Council have endorsed the "buck" campaign. Figures show that as It now is, only two out of every 100 American voters contribute to any political parly. One big advantage- of such a campaign would be the elimination of the necessity for a candidate to have to rely on the "fat cats," the thousand dollar or even the $500 donors. Without exception a person run ning for office must feel some obli gation to a big donor whether it be an Individual or a group. Many times these big donors have a way of using their donation as a pres sure lever. We live in an age of lobbyists and pressure politics, there is no doubt of that. However, this move back to a "dollar a voter" campaign fund is a move that I would hearti ly endorse. It would serve the two-fold pur pose of getting the big donors off Ihe backs of Ihe candidates and let the average voter have an equal hand in supporting political candi dales of his or her choice. I'd like to see some candidate have the fortitude to come out and say that he would accept no con tributions over $100, or heller yet ono of Ihe major political parlies come out and declare that it will run its campaign on Ihe basis of a "buck a voler." Mayhe it's wishful thinking, may be not. Iolifi Jil I ii lids By FLOYD L. WYNXK There's an article in the August Issue of Header's Digest that really strikes a respondent chord as f.ir as I'm concerned. William Hard writes an article tilled "Back Your Ballot With Your Buck!" He reports on a now political fund raising idea that is being tried this year. It is based on Ihe Idea of each voter cnnlnlnittnc a dollar to "Ihe political parly ol his choice." He points out thai the American electoral ni.'ulimery ptnh.iMy is the most exponsic in Hie world One authority, he sa. estimated that 140 million dollars was spent on behalf of all candidates in the 1952 elections. The costs of being elected lo any office of a county, stale or federal level are becoming increasingly heavier. Let's take a look at tlwr costs in relation to the recent primary campaign. Primary figures are dilliciill be cause many times there is no con test for a number o( the offices But here are the figures for the hot gubernatorial campaign that was waged In the. rocrnt primary In Oregon. In order of total expenditures they were: Sig L'nander $37,175. Williiiii Kurtz By FLORENCE JENKINS Some men are dedicated to the service of their fellow man. Such a man is William Otis Kurtz who is starling his fourth year as principal of the Merrill Elementary School. Such men are modest and with modesty he accepted this week the Oregon Journal's certificate of commendation for "unusual and meritorious acts of good citizen ship" which was presented by Ross Ragland, president of Klam. ath County Council of Churches. The citation was awarded specifi cally for Bill Kurtz's work with the children of migratory workers in the Merrill area. Born at Parma, Idaho, Bill Kurtz grew up in eastern Oregon where he was graduated from the Nyssa schools in 1938. From ear licst childhood he has been asso ciated with an economy which re q"ircs a vast army of temporary workers in the fields. In eastern Oregon it was the beet fields to which migrant workers flocked. They came in the spring for weed ing and thinning and some of them stayed into the summer for the harvest of early potatoes and many returned for the beet harvest in the fall. He attended school with their children and with a child's sensitivity, absorbed a full knowl edge uf their problems. Aftec active duty in the Air Force, he was graduated from Eastern Oregon College at La Grande in 1948 and joined the Klamath County school system in 1949. He say he received his baptism into work with migratory labor families in the Klamath Ba sin through the Council of Church es. With the full cooperation of the school district he has served for nearly 10 years, he has made their problems his. Because of his early experiences. his work is outstandingly suc cessful. It has come naturally for him to work as liaison between the townspeople and the short time residents and to stimulate the interest of the students and the teachers in making an additional 75 to 100 youngsters welcome in the classrooms each fall. He is an elder and teaches a Sunday School class at the Merrill First Presbyterian Church. He served as chairman of the build ing committee for the Christian Center built during August by a Westminster Fellowship group of the Presbyterian Church of Stock-Ion. While he disclaims any personal credit, his actions speak for him His pride and faith in the cooper ation of his "boss." Carrol Howe, Klamath County superintendent of schools, and in the people of Mer rill, his teaching staff and his stu dents is one of his shining attrib utes. His life's creed Is expressed In his statement: "There are no strangers."

Reed Jr. considers ilirr;;!! a newcomer to politics, but not a novice. And tie Republican party has high hopes that he'll be able to regain control for the GOP in the wheat-raising state of Kansas, where the Democrats have been surprisingly strong in recent years. Clyde Reed Jr. had never run for public office before the August primary but he made a big show ing his first time out. He scored a runaway victory in a five- man race for the Republican gub ernatorial nomination. His father was the late Clyde Reed Sr., onetime governor of Kansas and later a United States senator. Young Reed says he was born and raised in politics" and has been active in politics all his adult life. He once served on his father's staff in Washington. The 44-year-old newspaper pub lisher took over the leadership of a faction-torn Kansas Republi can party after his landslide vic tory by a margin of more than four to one. Former GOP Governor Fred Hall, trying a comeback, was ru.n nerup in the primary and conced ed to Reed within an hour after the polls closed. In nominally Republican Kansas, Reed, as his party's choice for governor, faces a battle against Democratic Governor George Docking. The resurging Kansas Democrats rate the November 4 general election a showdown test for political control of the state. Reed is publisher of the Parsons Sun. He left the editor's desk as far back as last December, cam paigned vigorously, traveled 30,000 miles and visited all 105 Kansas counties. "I'll be ready to go again," he says, "just as soon as I get a little rest." He calls the Democrats a "do nothing administration" and re peatedly has said "we need a man in the governor's office who is something more than a critic. We need a leader." Reed, as a Kansas newspaper editor, has. supported President Eisenhower on "almost every thing." He considers his views gen erally on the progressive side. As a vote-getter before the pub lic view, Reed is a strong - voiced speaker, a man of medium build, dark hair and dark eyes. He is pleasant and likeable, but not colorful. He met his wife in his senior year at Kansas University, mar ried the next year in 193B. The Reed's have a son and a daughter, 15-year-nld Clyde, the third, and 12-year-old Carolyn Ann. In his cutomary non-controver sial style. Reed says: "If they ask what I am, tell them I'm a Republican, a Repub lican looking to a future."

Chiang Kai-shek says "the great potential of the Russian empire market is a chimera." The wife of the Chinese Nation alist leader, speaking at the Amer ican Bar Assn. annual dinner last night, termed a mistaken belief the theory that "in the new Rus sian empire lies a great new un tapped market." Ihe Chinese Communists, she said, "would certainly buy only capital goods or raw materials which Russia 'or the moment can not supply. . . . For these goods one can count on the glad hand, the big smile, and the most munificient fairy godfather approach. But for how long? only as long as tne soviet world finds the goods indispensa ble." Snark Missile Test Fired CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) A Snark guided missile blazed skyward early Saturday on a 6,000 mile flight across the Atlantic. The hnark, the nation s only operational intercontinental weap on, streaked over the ocean with a flash of orange flame. In seconds the red-coated mis sile disappeared over the horizon. The Air Force announced only that a Snark was launched. The results of the test usually are secret. The Snark will soon become an operational missile across the na tion. The first Snark launching site is scheduled to be set up at Presque Isle, Maine. It was the second Snark launch ing during the week. Last Wednes day another of the Northrup-de-veloped missiles blasted aloft. However. Wednesday's flight was short-lived, it was learned, be cause the Snark ran into the buf feting winds of hurricane Daisy and plunged into the sea at the halfway mark of its test flight. More than 60 Snarks have been launched since Ine.test series be gan. Last month, the first military launching of the missile was con ducted by the 655th Strategic Mis sile Squadron. The Snark travels at a snail's pace as far as missiles go about 600 m. p. h. but it has amazing accuracy over intercontinental range. Mme. Chiang also referred to current Communist moves. "At this moment," she said, "the Chinese Communists under the order of the Kremlin are con tinuing military action against Quemoy and Matsu as a deliberate and direct answer to President Eisenhower's efforts to have world peace." Mme. Chiang's talk followed a call yesterday by former New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for establishment of space law. He suggested a satellite or space ship, shot into space, could return; to earth without burning out. Asked . Dewey: "What law will apply when a stray, 500-pound satellite lands in the heart of a city?" In her talk, Mme. Chiang com pared free world demands for trade with the Communists with the "political folly" of appease ment. When economic interests are in volved, she said, "there are some who would sing a tune of conven ience, acting contrary to their conscience. "But has any lasting good ever resulted from forsaking princi ples? And has any real benefit ever been derived from such .a course? The ABA convention ends today.

These, including some under ground shots as well as others fired from balloons or towers, will be set off before the proposed one-year suspension of nuclear weapons tests beginning Oct. 31. The AEC said Friday thesa explosions will complete the 1958 testing program, which has been in progress at the Eniwetok and Johnston Island proving grounds m the Pacific. President Eisenhower said last week this country would suspend all nuclear tests for a year if Rus sia agreed to continue her self imposed ban and would join in an international network to orevent sneak tests.
