Missing Hot
By BILL JENKINS
. Seems to me that what with all
the prayers for rain and-or snow
during the deer season some
competent bunch of rain dancers
haven't made a good thing out of
It.
Come the deer season and hunt
ers throughout the world blow the
dust out of their pluviometers and
send off fervent prayers to the
hunting gods for a little precipita
tion. The trouble is they don't have
the right connections and their
prayers fall on pretty arid soil.
.1 strongly suggest that we con
tact someone familiar with the an
cient rites of the Hopis or some of
the Navajos or others who have a
pretty fair reputation for this sort
of thing. It might help.
Too bad, in a way, that Gen
eral Dyrenforth failed in his Tex
as experiments back in 1891
wherein he attempted to prove
that concussion caused rainfall
The general and his men touched
off vast piles of giant powder in
an attempt to make rain. Claimed
success, too, but the political pow
ers weren't impressed and the
whole thing was written off.
What with the cannonading we
get during the opening of the sea
son nowadays it would seem that
if gunfire would bring rain we
should be hip deep in the runoff
by now. .
But then that is one of the mys
teries of nature and politics that
us mere mortals can't explain.
I guess.
Another mystery that I should
like cleared up is why so many
deer hunters shoot themselves in
the leg with a pistol?
What in the world is a door hunt
er doing with a pistol anyway?
I can't imagine anything less
useful or more dangerous to pack
along on the annual hunt for
horns. And yet each year the list
of casualties mounts. Most of 'cm
shot, I suspect, while trying to
emulate one of their television
heroes with the fast draw.
Not that 1 have anything against
pistols. I own a rack of 'em my
elf and like to shoot them. Hut
they play no part In deer hunting
expeditions. Just so much junk me
tal along, adding weight to the al
ready weary miles.
Oh well, such is the world of tel
evision and Nod Bunlline.

The so-called emancipation of
women marches on.
From Stockholm comes word of
another progressive step taken
last week in Sweden.
After January 1, next year, wom
en may become ordained minis
ters in Sweden.
The Church Assembly, the high
est representative body of the
Church of Sweden, voted 69 to 29
to accept women into the minis
tonal nociy. .jusi anout a year
ago, the same proposal was de
feated by a vote of 82 to 39.
llio Historic decision was
reached after a debate which
lasted sixteen hours.
The Church Assembly has a ma
jority of laymen and these mem
bers exert a substantial influence
upon the decisions of the group.
A change of opinion has been no
ticeable among the clergy, it is
said.
One of the staunch supporters of
the proposal was the new arch
bishop, Dr. Gunnar Hultgren, who
urged acceptance of women into
the clergy of Sweden.
A note of economy to the road
hunters, the lazy man's Dccrslay
er: If you arc going to road hunt
anyway why not save money by
merely going out to Moore Park
and driving around for a few min
utes to get the outdoor flavor and
then going to the nearest butcher
shop and shooting a Ion spot over
the counter for the best hoof roast
he has?
You'll save quite a lot of money
and have belter moat.
And think of the saving in tiros.

With the filing of Clarence lluni
hle today for the office of district
attorney, we now have I hi re w rite
in candidates in the race.
The oilier two are the incum
bent Arthur Hoddoe and Glenn
Ramirez.
The unusual situation of Ihirc-write-in
candidates came about
when Boddoo. who was appointed
when Richard Boesley resigned,
failed In file for reelection to the
olfice in lime to have his name
listed on the ballot.
After this point came to light,
Beddoe indicated that lie did wish
to run for elect inn to the post ami
so filed. Shortly alter K.miiic,
filed for the office, and now Clar
ence Humble.
I have no wish to lake any side
of the three-cornered rare for the
post, but there is one aspect of
it that does concern the taxpayer
There is a possibility that cither
or both the Democratic and He
publican central committees might
meet and certify one of the can
didates for their nominee, and
then petition the secretary of
state to certify that candidate so
his name could go on the ballot.
However, it is pertinent to point
out that the ballots have already
been printed. Any such last min
ute eflort as tryuiR to put a stick
er on the ballots would lie a monu
mental task that would cost the
taxpayer quite a bit of money
In addition. absentee ballots
have already been dispatched in
dome cases by the county clerk's
office.
Neither would it bo fair for one
party lo certify a candidate without
the other party doing the same
thing. That would be an unfair po
litical advantngo that I'm certain
neither party would want.
It would seem to be in the pub
lic Interest In all ways to let
all three men run as write-in can
didates. This saves taxpayer mm-
ey and puts all tint calculates
As if picking the winners of
football games weren't complex
enough, a contestant in the Her
ald and News contest last week
enclosed a sheet of algebraic
symbols with his entry. We sus
pect that Francis Kenyon slipped

lake. His choices read like "52x-3.!i
equal ,26x" and "(2X-5I-- 6'x plus
H equal 0.
Mr. Kenyan, we should note, was
an honorable mention winner.
If you should see a short sub

More items of news, or almost
news:
A Republican of our town walked
into the chamber of commerce of
lice to buy a $3 ticket for to
night's dinner honoring Senator
Neuberger.
"Never thought I'd pay money
In hear a Democrat talk," the
customer said, "but here I am.
This guy deserves some credit."
Neuberger was a successful
free-lance writer before he was a
senator. He has an article, "Bloody
Trek to Empire," in the current
issue of American Heritage. The
story describes human follies and
natural calamities that almost
ruined the first attempt to settle
Oregon. . . . The senator donated
his fee to Portland State College.
Handed what had all the ear
marks of a hopeless, dirty job by
his friend, Doug McKay, Tom has
performed a real service to this
community.
We always knew he was a fight
er but we did not realize what a
lot of good sense, patience and
determination the man had. The
so called Management Specialists
started out as a three man com
mission and ''ended up with Tom
doing most of the work after Phil
lips resigned and Gene Favell took
sick.
Anybody who has ever dealt
with our Indian friends will real
ize what Tom was up against
Basically, they believe that any
plan dreamed up by white men is
bad for red men; not without some
historical justification. On top of
that, they don't trust some of Ihei
own people any more than they do
white men. Then too, they can't
keep their minds made up. Some
thing they all agree lo today, to
morrow they will listen to in ap
parent amazement as if they
never heard of it before.
In the beginning, certain eastern
congressmen who just could not
imagine anybody doing a public
job without some personal selfish
interest, broadcast some gratuitous
insults about the Management Spe
cialists. About that time I expect
ed to read any day that Tom had
given them a swift left jab in the
nose. Twenty years ago he would
have. But in his mature years Tom
has turned into quite a diplomat
ho always was a politician.
If you don't think it takes a lot
of doing to persuade government
bureaus like the Indian Service that
you are right and they are wrong,
you just never have wrestled bu
reaucratic Washington.
Tom did. In (he very last round
at the congressional hearings when
it looked as if the National Lum
bermen's Association had thrown a
monkey wrench in the machinery
with a letter by an apparently to
tally uninformed Oregon small
time lumberman, Tom persuaded
Ralph Macartney to write a letter
to Senator Neuberger that really
made the National Lumbermen's
Association look silly.
Klamath County, the Klamath
Indians, and a good part of the
people of Oregon owe Tom Wal
ters a real debt of gratitude for
a very tough job well done.

also get a lot of overtime.
The area is a good hunting
ground for husbands. Statistics
show there are three men for ev
ery two women in Fairbanks.
But the chamber of commerce
warns, "Don't come up here to
stay unless you have a bankroll
in your pocket or the promise of
a job, like most other cities in
the states, we have a surplus of
labor."
Fairbanks hosts the only insti
tution of higher learning in Alaska,
the University of Alaska. Its beau
lilul campus overlooks the city.
But the citizens are looking
beyond today. A local newspaper
publisher, Bill Snedden tof the
Fairbanks News-Miner) said, "I
expect Alaska will have a popula
tion of between five and six mil
lion people within 20 years, Fair
banks will have between 100,000
and 120,000 by the same time.
Snedden, and many of his neigh
bors, believe the Alcan Highway
will be paved all the way through
Canada within the next five years
to link up with Alaska's already
lomplcted roads and bring more
people.
But the current major problem
is food, not highways. Fairbanks
records 90 degree temperatures
during its 105 day drowning season.
But the thermometer also drops as
low as 60 degrees below zero dur
ing the winter. Most of the local
food is imported. But extensive
experiments have proved that the
land can grow anything that will
grow in valleys 300. miles south of
Fairbanks which is only 160 miles
from the Arctic Circle.
However, until the experiments
become the standard procedure,
Alaskans in Fairbanks will have
to continue lo import their food
and look toward the future with
hope. As they say, "We wouldn't
be in Alaska in the first place,
if we weren't optimistic."

'M Pins XII
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) The past
two decades have been among the
most terrifying periods in man
kind's recorded history.
And throughout those perilous
years, the frail figure of the man
in the Vatican towered as that of
a giant on the side of those in the
world who believed in the funda
mental decency and dignity of the
human being.
It mattered little what your re
igion might have been. You would
have been a rarity if you had been
able lo come away from the pres
ence of Pope Pius XII without the
conviction that you had been in
the presence of greatness.
Uncounted thousands over these
decades stood in the pres
ence of this man md heard his
voice. He never spared himself
the ordeals of innumerable audi
Hundreds of thousands watched
with feelings of awe as he raised
his arms slowly and majestically
in benediction, while a thunderous
roar of ovation swelled from the
multitudes massed in St. Peters
Square.
Those who saw him in private
audiences, no matter what their
creed, almost invariably reported
they had come away feeling the
meeting had been a rich spiritual
experience.
Even the most cynical and
wnrdly of his visitors confessed
hemselves deeply moved.
Perhaps it was the impression
they received that in this spare,
physically fragile figure there was
a reserve of enormous spiritual
power.
Perhaps they saw the reflection
of such power in his eyes black,
dancing, alert eyes that seemed
to pierce through a man's exter
ior and look into his very soul.
Perhaps it was that thoy could
sense the man's deep humility
amid the ancient splendor sur
rounding the Roman Catholic
Church, or that they could read
in that sad, ascetic face a deep
compassion for all men.
I met Pope Pius XII on several
occasions and have had impres
sions like these. I know of nohody
who has met him who has not
come away with similar feelings.
One suddenly remembered, in
his presence, that in an age which
saw the most destructive war of
all histor, here was a man who
spoke and labored only for peace.
One would remember that in an
era which witnessed incredibly
cruel scourers at the hands of
ruthless dictators, here was a
voice to speak out loarlessly for

County Welfare Office
Notes Potato Harvest Peak
An indication that the Klamath
Basin potato harvest is reaching
its peak comes from the Klamath
County Welfare Department, which
handles a growing number of ap
plications for assistance as the
harvest season approaches.
Appeals lor aid from farm
workers, many of them migrants
with families, swelled general as
sistance applications in late August
and September. That is normal for
the season.
However, said Mrs. Julia Brown,
county welfare administrator
speaking for the Klamath County
Welfare Commission, a change oc
curred this week.
Monday usually is the heaviest
day for applications in any week,
even weeks when few people come
in to ask for aid. But on Monday
this week not a single applicant
appeared.
It is interpreted as a sign that
harvest employment is high.
Funds for this aid come from
ihe county's general assistance
program, 70 per cent of which is
contributed by the state and 30
per cent by the county.
In August, the department han
dled 70 applications for general
assistance, granted requests from
Vi families, and authorized expen
ditures of $7,163 for maintenance
and $2,783 for medical care.
Approximate figures for last
month show 197 applications, 165
grants (a 300 per cent increase
over August) and appropriations
of $10,300 for maintenance and
$2,780 for medical care.
By comparison, here are general
assistance program ligures last
year:
August: 63 applications, 59
grants, allocations of $5,325 for
assistance and $3,539 for medical
care. September: 92 applications
85 grants, allocations of $6,723 and
$5,087 respectively. October: 149
applications, 126 grants, allocations
ol $8,642 and $4,823 respectively,
Mrs. Brown noted that the dif
ferences in peak months for Ihe
two years represented harvest con
ditions dependent upon weather.
Heavy rains delayed the harvest
last year.

Man In Space
Seen Shortly
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - Ro
W. Johnson, the nation's spaca
boss, says plans are afoot to shoot
a man into space in 24 to 38
months.
The remark, inserted with littla
elaboration into a prepared speech
Tuesday night, stumped available
Pentagon sources. They said he
might be referring to the Air Force
Xls project.
The X15, a jet plane, has a
greater potential for speed and al
titude than any yet manufactured.
Due to be unveiled Oct. 15, it is
expected to hit speeds between 3,
200 and 4.500 m.p.h. and carry a
pilot up to 200 miles above the
earth.
Johnson, director ot the Ad
vanced Research Projects Agency
of the Defense Department, spoke
at the dedication of the CBS Lab
oratories Research Center here.
Newsmen reached him at his
home here later, but he would not
say whether a specific type of ve-
nicle lor the space man was in
mind.
He did say that his agency now
has 40 million dollars available
for research for the project. He
said this was inadequate and that
he hoped to have 65 millions by
the end of fiscal 1959.
Asked about the last-minute in
sertion in the prepared speech,
Johnson said the 24-to-36-month
target date was arrived at this
week.
Johnson spoke in broad terms
on the prospects of a man circling
the earth in a space vehicle and
of- a manned lunar base.
