THURSDAY. OCTOBER lfi. 195B HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE 7 B Senate Interior Groun New Missile Schedules Land Hearingffl?? In Bend On November 7 By TOM STIMMEL Whether vast tracts of primi tive, unspoiled iand in Oregon should be preserved permanently or opened to logging and grazing will be debated in Bend Novem ber 7. The occasion is a public hearing called by the U.S. Senate Interior Committee. It promises to be a stirring debate. The issue, despite its calm appearance, is highly con troversial. What the issue amounts to is whether Congress should establish a National Wilderness Preservation System from existing national for ests and other government-owned land. Backers of the proposal, which twice has failed to meet Senate approval, envision "an adequate system of areas of wilderness to serve recreational, scientific, scenic, educational, conservation and historical needs" of a grow ing population. They would preserve areas al most as they were before man arrived, "where the earth and its community of life are untram meled by man, where man him self is a visitor who does not re main." Detractors, and there are many, maintain that such wilderness are as would "lock up millions of acres of land in the West ... in which no timber would be cut, no live stock ranged, no roads built, and which could not be put to bene ficial use. Opponents include lumbermen, stockmen, sportsmen, fire protec tors and others. One critic, speak ing of the effect on Oregon, al leged: "It is the intention of the promoters . .'. to gobble up the acreage lying along the crest of our Cascade Mountains, including a large volume of merchantable timber." Two previous attempts to create wilderness areas failed to get through the Senate (where one of the bill's sponsors is Senator Rich ard Neuberger of Oregon'. The first attempt was called S. 1170; the second was S. 4028. Both died in committee. It still is being considered ac tively, however, and it would in clude not only land in Oregon but land in all western states. Con sequently the Bend hearing is the first of four scheduled in the West The others are to be at San Fran Cisco, Salt Lake City and Albu querque. All these regional hear ings resulted trom a hearing in Washington last spring, when broader discussion was demanded. Two organizations very much in terested in the result are the As sociation of Oregon Counties and the Interstate Association of Pub lic Land Counties. Both are or ganizations of county officials, but the latter incorporates counties in live states. The two associations have not yet taken a stand on the Wilder ness Preservation bill as it is ex pected to look in its third aD- pearance, but they will be asked to. Forrest Cooper, a Lakeview at torney who is counsel for the In. terstate Association, returned this week from a trip through Colorado and Utah where, he said, senti. ment generally opposed the meas- ure. At Bend, Cooper said, he would recommend that a restraining clause be amended to that, or any other bill, providing that single use dedication be conditioned upon consent ot a state legislature. Opposition to the first such bill, S. 1176, was based upon what Cooper said was historic policy to provide the greatest good for the greatest number by creating mul tiple use areas wherever pos sible. These would best serve farm ing, cattle, timber, mining and other interests. Creation of single use areas, such as national parks and monu ments ana wilderness areas, was an exception rather than the rule, Cooper said. The U.S. Forest Serv ice, he added, "even has abolished single use areas, known as wilder ness areas, (in) its judgment based upon experience and changing times. Permitting a state legislature to rule on single use adoption would in the case of our state, "let old Oregon try it on for size and if he wants to buy it, okay," Cooper said. Klamath County Judge Charlie Mack, a vice president of the In terstate Association and chairman of the Public Lands Committee of the stale association, emphasized that no stand has been taken yet. That may come after the hear ing in Bend. But it is certain that local government officials in five stales are very much interested. A multi-billion dollar contract for assembling and testing of the Minuteman intercontinental ballis tic missile was signed Wednesday by the Air Force and Boeing Air plane Co. The contract reportedly is worth 10 to 12 billion dollars to Boeing and associated contractors. Parties to the signing at the Aii Force Ballistic Missile Division here were Edward Wells, vice president of Boeing, and Lt. Gen. Samuel E. Anderson, commander of the Air Research and De velopment Command. Boeing's selection as a prime contractor on the Minuteman pro gram was announced by the Air Force Oct. 10. Other prime con tractors are AVCO Manufacturing Co., North American Aviation Inc., Thiokol Chemical Corp. and Aerojet-General Boeing's role in the program is similar to that of Convair in the Atlas ICB.M program, Martin Co. in the Titan program and Douglas Aircraft Co. in the Thor program, all under the management of the Air Force The Minuteman is a land-based solid propellant missile.

Child congenital am putees are the subject of a new program by centers in several states. GOP Solons Blast Fair SALEM AP Two Republican legislators Wednesday said the State Fair Commission has en gaged in improper or poor prac tices. Sen. Walter Lelh of Salem and Rep. Joe Rogers of Independence wrote Gov. Robert D. Holmes a list of eight complaints. The governor said he would in vestigate them. The complaints include: The fair accountant was given an extended vacation so that facts can't be obtained. Carnival space was doubled at the expense of space for agricul ture. The carnival operator wasn't bonded, and that the carnival space wasn't awarded to the high bidder. Some 20 concession spaces were rented for $200 each to a Califor nia firm, which resold them for $350. Portland Radio Stations To Switch Affiliations NEW YORK (AP) A major, shuffle of National Broadcasting Co. radio and television affiliates in the Pacific Northwest was an nounced by the network here Wednesday. NBC said it has dropped its at filiation with a Seattle radio and television station, a Portland tele vision station and with an Oregon Citv. Ore., radio station. The net work said it has entered into new affiliation agreements with stations of the KING Bropdcasting Co. in Portland and Seattle. The new NBC outlets in Seattle will be KING radio and KING-TV and in Portland KGW radio and KGW-TV. NBC is dropping KOMO radio and KO.MO-TV in Seattle, KPTV TV in Portland and KG ON radio in Oregon City Contracts between NBC and Bv JERRY BENNETT WASHINGTON (NEA A young mother and father nervously watch their crippled infant daughter as she gets ready to take her first step. It's an agonizing moment, even for the trained doctors and nurses who never are able to shake the tension that grips them on these occasions, Wonder if the little kid can make it the first time?" they keep asking themselves. "How will her parents react if something goes wrong and ? And then the baby takes one step, followed by another little steps made possible by two minia ture artificial legs. This scene is a common occur rence today in clinics which speci alize in treating congenital am putees, children who have been born without arms or legs. It's the result of an amazing rehabilita tive program which fits these un fortunate kids with artificial limbs soon after they are born. This unique treatment is being successfully practiced by crippled children s centers in several states. The U.S. Children's Bureau provides financial support for these programs in Los Angeles, cant.; Grand Rapids. Mich., and New York City. But just a few years ago this dramatic technique seemed unreal istic, almost impossible to perform. Congenital amputees were usual ly forced to spend their early years on crutches or with armless sleeves Thus, infants are being given ar tificial legs as soon as they are old enough to stand and walk. These are often highly simplified limbs without even a knee joint. But as the child grows older, they are exchanged for more complex, mov able legs. This is also true of mechanical arms and hands. Some physical therapy experts believe these arti ficial limbs are necessary in pre paring a child for walking and should be applied while he's still in the crawling stage. They ex plain that in addition to provid ing balance an artificial upper limb enables a child to pull himself into a standing position so he can take that always eagerly awaited first step.

Vegetable Bargains Balance High Meat Prices By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bargains in vegetables and fruits counterbalance continuing high prices for meats in the nation's supermarkets and neighborhood grocery stores this weekend. Fresh produce from nearby fields and orchards is still avail able in many areas. Poor growing weather curtailed West Coast crops of lettuce, citrus fruits. grapes and vegetables but so far this has had little effect due to nearby supplies. Supermarket meat experts seem to have scattered their fire trying to find bargains guaranteed to catch the shopper's eye. A var iety of cuts of pork appear slight' ly more numerous than offerings of beef, while turkeys and frying or roasting chickens are featured in scattered locations. forK spe cials are about evenly divided be tween cooked hams and less ex pensive fresh ham, pork loin and smoked picnic hams. Atom Scientist Guards Briefcase DENVER (AP) One of the na tion's top atomic scientists care fully guarded a bulging briefcase he brought to the Energy Re sources Conference here. Dr. James L. Tuck, of the Los Alamos laboratories in New Mex ico, was asked if a miniature nu clear reactor was concealed in side. Replied Dr. Tuck: "No, it's part of my wife's vacuum cleaner. There is no repairman in Los Ala mos and she insisted that I have lt fixed in Denver." Pork chops are 2 fo 10 cents a pound higher almost everywhere this week. Veal chops arc up a bit in few sections, along with eggs, hut olher prices are mostly about the same as last week. Outstanding vegetable buys in clude cablge. onions, spinach, broccoli and potatoes. The big Long Island crop pushes polato supplies up and prices down. Cau-' liflowcr, brussels sprouts, swiss chard and dandelion greens also are outstanding buys. Good buys are lettuce, carrots,! snap bean's, pascal celery, Idaho j potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes' and green onions. Iceberg lettuce from New Jersey augments the California supply. Cucumbers and green or yellow squash are rated fairly good buys, whole tomatoes, eggplant and peppers are more expensive. Big news in fruiis again is ap ples, since supplies from both Eastern and Western orchards are so plentiful prices are way, way down. Pears, grapes and a few re maining prunes also are good buys. Fishing Leaders To Hold Meeting SEATTLE (API Fishing in dustry leaders from Oregon, Wash ington and Alaska met here Wed nesday to discuss proposals for voluntary industrywide standards for the grading and processing of frozen halibut steaks. The meeting was held at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service technological laboratory. Fish packers, brokers and distributors were represented. KC Man Races To Pay Fines KANSAS CITY (AP) Sheriff's officers came lo William Nevins, 34. with a warrant for his arrest i a bad check charge. Nevins. however, had paid the complainant and only owed $ll.o:i court costs. The officers suggested he go to court and pay. Nevins agreed but insisted on driving nis car. The officers, following Nevins, noticed his car was drawing farth er and fai l her away. They said thev clocked him 70 m.p.h. in a C0-milc zone; 5d in a 20-mile zone and 65 in a 50-mile zone. Outside the court, Nevins w.'is handed a speeding ticket, lie pleaded guilty and was fined $-)3 Total payment: $.i4.03. expire until next year. Until that time the King stations will be sec ondary affiliates, meaning that KOMO, KPTV and KGON will have first choice on NBC pro grams until expiration of con tracts. Dates for primary affiliation are Dec. 19, 1958. for KGW; May 1, 1959, for KGW-TV: June 14, 1959. for- KING, and Dec. 10, 1959, for KING-TV. KING AM and TV is currently affiliated with the American Broadcasting Co. network. In trade circles here it was re ported NBC olfcrcd an additional $300 an hour increase in station payments to KING-TV over what had been paying KOMO-TV. Harry Bannister, NBC vice pres ident in charge of station relations, said the new association assures still greater possibilities for NBC service to the area. Officials of the Fisher Broad casting Co., owner of KOMO radio and television stations, declined comment on the NBC affiliation transfer. ices, explains that some children become so used to their artificial limbs that they even wear them when they go to bed. She credits much of the pro gram's success to improvements that manufacturers are making in artificial limbs. Miss Arrington ex plains that new types of limbs ere constantly being turned out that enable an amputee to perform more complicated movements with less effort. Some of the congenital ampu tee centers teach crippled chil dren to lead normal lives with a combination hospital home care program. At the hospital, the child is fit ted with his new limb and taught how to use it. Instruction is also given to at least one of the par ents to insure that the child oper ates it correctly when he goes home. IT LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS! miirm Today, however, doctors have discovered that it's often harmful to make these children wait sev eral years before teaching them how lo use an artificial arm or leg. They explain that a child's healthy growth and development demand that ho get exercise and participate in normal activity. Also, older children have more trouble learning how to use me chanical limbs than younger kids, doctors say. They explain that children who are fitted at an early age seldom miss the loss of their real arms and legs since they grow up wearing the artificial ones. Get on the vodka wagon with Smirnoff!
