Too Crowded
By BILL JENKINS
At least a few of the chickens
are coming home to roost in Cal
And a lot of other areas to boot.
lfornia.
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.

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."

Kansas
llepiililican
By HALE MONTGOMERY
United Press International
Clyde M. 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."

Mme. Chiang Says Big Red Force Farce
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mme.
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?
