OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1(5. 15)53 FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr Ph TU 4-4752 Foster Homes By FLORENCE JENKINS Lending a helping hand is the instinctive response to nearly any appeal for aid. The act of giving assistance bol sters our feeling of being a mem ber of the human race. The desire to belong is inherent in most of us We are all, in varying degrees, aware of a multitude of unexplored opportunities to serve. Our vision is obscured by the haze of daily routine tasks. But let an emer gency arise and everybody offers help, according to his means and ability. Emergencies arc like sudden fears which bring forth unusual efforts. The daily fields of service are more humdrum and produce few heroes. A planeload of Korean orphans landing at Portland is considered news in communities far removed from Oregon. Consideration of those unfortu nate little tots brings home to Klamath Falls the awareness of a need here concerning our children. Mrs. Betty Williams, supervisor of the Klamath County Child Wel fare department, has issued an ap peal for additional foster homes in Klamath Falls. Homes are needed for youngsters whose lives have been upset by some crisis in the family, usually beyond their own control, who need temporary sanctuary in an or dinary American home until things get straightened out again. They need the sympathy and understand ing of a mother and the obliga tions and discipline of a normal home life. "The blue-eyed, golden-haired toddler has a universal appeal,' Mrs. Williams commented, "but the older child needs a foster home far more desperately." There are some 80 licensed fos ter homes in Klamath Falls and the number is not sufficient to take care of the needs. There is no fee for the license. Applications are received by Mrs Williams and her staff who do the preliminary studies. Tho local ap- plications arc then passed upon by the state Public Welfare Board and the county staff's rccommen dations arc usually followed. In order to make it possible for those in moderate circumstances to give temporary care to another child or two in addition to their own. the state pays minimum cost for food and clothing. Foster homes must meet certain requirements, of course. Sympathy and understanding and a sincere desire to help Ihose less fortunate make up a large part of that requirement. The foster homes arc in no sense a substitute for a correctional institution. "These children deserve no pun ishment because of the acts of others," Mrs. Williams pointed out. "Most of them have become wards of the court because of circum stances beyond their control." Foster mothers, she added, are like mothers everywhere over worked, underpaid and often un appreciated. I,;ikeview 3leiiioiies By NELSON REED No. 3 in a .series of 4 Big Jim Clark down at I'nder wnods was another of my favor ites. When .Inn wanted some thing he wanted it yesterday, air express and no foolin'. Once he wouldn't wait a month for us to deliver a new "Cat," so he bought one of our competitor's new fakes. It broke its hack the first week It was on the job. .Mm yelled lor me to come over. "What are you going to give me (or that heap." ho wanted to know be fore I got through shaking hands. "Two thousand bucks less than you paid for it," I grinned, "it's a wreck." Jim blew his top. "Take a two thousand dollar licking for a week's work." ho screamed. Alter we had yelled at each other lor about 10 minutes, we compromised on $1,500. It was cheap advertising. Compe tition never sold another of those things around Lakeview as long as 1 was in business, and I never opened my mouth. Didn't have to. Jim did it for me. Some of you older Oregomans may remember the Lorena Trickey murder. I doubt if you remember it as well as 1 do. For the benclit of you young sters who wouldn't know about such things, Lorena Trickey was 8 professional cowgal; one of the best. During the Lakeview Round up she got a mad on and killed her boy friend, as it later de veloped. At the time I mention Lorena was in the jailhou.se in Lakeview and all the world waited breath less to learn who done it. Tom Malarkey, later president of the big MM outfit, was the boy edi tor of the Klamath paper then That particular night be hap Entered as second class matter at the post oltice at Klamath Falls.

During dinner the phone rang and it was Tom's star reporter, Perkins, over in Lakeview. Perk had played a natural hunch, bribed the jailer with a gallon of moon to let him talk to Lorena. He poured most of anoth er gallon into Lorena and she con fessed. "Sure she stabbed the dirty double crossing so and so." Tom grabbed his pencil and without ever hesitating he scrib bled Perk's story all over our din ing room wallpaper. Then he read it to his paper and to the Asso ciated Press in Portland so all the world might know. Bet today if you peeled off the outside paper you could still read that thrilling episode. Reason I remember so well, I had to pay for the repapering. We only rented the house. Sure they turned Lorena loose! Can't imagine Lakeview hanging any cowgal. Oregon, USA By JOSEPHINE K1TTREDGE The techniques of political cam paigns usually become apparent to the students of motivational re search; or in just plain old every day language, what makes John Q. Public make up his or her mind. The last 10 days the siege guns have begun to fire inside both political parties. The profes sional opinion-formers have begun to use the scare techniques that usually have worked in the past. Perhaps the past master of poli tical rationalization is Sen. Wayne L. Morse. However, when the Sen ator used the "fear" or "guilt-hy-associalion" technique of link ing candidate for Gov. Mark Hat field with Pres. Paul McKee of Pacific Power and Light he con veniently forgot one or two minor points in Morse's own background. I hate to remind the senator of the remarks he made about the late Sen. Joe McCarthy, when Mc Carthy used the technique of "you arc a friend of and-or you belong to the same organizations therefore you must be tarred with the same brush" press releases and state ments. Such techniques arc at tention getters for suro; but arc they valid In every instance true statements of fact? Perhaps one should remind Sen ator Morse that a little of this private utility tar (so-called) might he associated with him. or at least there are some questions about the allotment of 500,000 kilowatts or preferred power on the Idaho side of his Hell's Canyon Dam bill that could only be picked up by the Idaho Power Company. Does this moke him a tool of the private power interests, to use his own words about Mark llat lield? Also, I have heard Sena tor Morse, as have many others, make the statement that power development must be done by both federal and private utility groups. In other words, the partnership power statements of the adminis tration are beginning to lie echoed by senators and congressmen from Oregon. It is certainly the privilege of the turbulent Senator to campaign against Mark Hatlield or anyone else he pleases; but please Sena tor . . . when a brilliant, reason ing mind such as yours reaches into his political bag of tricks and comes up with a gimmick so old as this one, yon should alsol give the voters of Oregon enough respect to at least pick a new .ipproach. Any politician and all voters have sense enough to realize that elected ollicial does business with all his constituents, not iusl those who represent his own poli tical party. Hive us something new . . . we've heard that one belore.

Among the birds they also hope to save is mentioned "Breton pen guins." This must bo a mistrans lation. Penguins arc mostly Ant arctic.

Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API-President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles have suggested that politi cal campaigners refrain from de- baling foreign policy. Each sug gested an exception. The excep tions seem to cancel each other out. Eisenhower told his news con ference Wednesday; "There is a very clear distinction to he made wan respect 10 foreign policy as I see it. One is the policy and one is its operation. . . . "I do not. by any means, decry intelligent questioning and criti cism of any particular point. Hut when it comes to the policy that is being established, I think it has been standing pretty well on its own feet for a long time." Dulles told his news conference the day before: "I do not think that it is wise that current aspects I OU A RAtjf I CAN PVCWt-B f CM A&5UCS CU. C A FUTUKIS"- 11 VBkP TAK'SJi?

I think there are some basic problems of for eign policy which can be discussed in terms of underlying principles." That would seem to leave Re publican and Democratic orators in the congressional campaign in a dilemma. If they discuss current aspects, it would be all right with Eisenhower but not with Dulles. If they talk about established ba sic policy, Eisenhower might ob ject but not Dulles. However, the conflict may oc more apparent than real. Usually, in such cases Eisenhower's stock comment is that he and Dulles keep in touch and always see eye to eye. And anyway, few politicians of either party ever show much in clination to avoid discussing for eign policy If it means possible votes. Eisenhower and Dulles them selves had quite a bit to say about foreign policy in the 1952 campaign. Eisenhower hit the issue hard in campaign speeches. In Detroit on Oct. '24, 1952, for example he said his first job, if elected, would be to end the war in Korea. He added: "That job requires a per sonal trip to Korea. I shall make that trip. Only in that way could I learn how best to serve the American people in the cause of peace. I shall go to Korea." It is generally conceded that Ei senhower's pledge to visit Korea, fulfilled between his election and his inauguration, was a big vote getter. Dulles did most of the drafting of the foreign policy plank in the 1952 Republican campaign plat form. It lambasted Truman ad ministration foreign policy as hav ing, among other things, "aban doned friendly nations" after World War II and of having 'traded our overwhelming victory for a new enemy and for new op pressions and new wars which were quick to come." Republican campaigners this year- probably would welcome Dulles' idea that current aspects of foreign policy should be barred from political debate. That would rule out virtually all criticism of Eisenhower administration foreign policy, since the administration in power always is responsible for the current conduct of foreign af fairs. Money Mailers By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) - Money pol icies of the United 'States are be ing eyed today as rarely before for their role in everyone's every day life. The public asks what part the money managers play in: trigger ing a recession, causing unem ployment, stifling a recovery, chipping away at the purchasing power of the dollar. People ask how much the money managers can do in: starting a boom and keeping it going, encouraging in vestments that mean more jobs, controlling inflation, making it easier for people to buy homes or automobiles, assuring citizens that their savings and pensions will be enough to provide for them in their old age. .Money policies, in a word, come closer home year by year. Today some 80 leaders of indus '. labor, government, banking. education and the professions are opening a four day discussion of all phases of United States mone tary policies. They are meeting at Arden House in Harriman, . Y., under the sponsorship of the Vmerican Assembly, set up in 1950 by General Eisenhower when he was president of Columbia Uni versity. Also today a group of business men gathered in New York under the auspices of the American Management Assn. studying the time schedule of the present up turn are hearing how changes in monetary policies can bring one about. Beryl V. Sprinkel, economist of the Harris Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago, tells them "the change in the rate of growth of the money supply is a fundamental factor in itiating business downturns aud upturns." He says a study of these cycles since lii09 shows that all declines have been preceded by a cut in the rate of growth in the money supply, although at first a rise in turnover of money delayed the impact for a short time. lie adds that all business re coveries have been preceded by a rise m monetary growth with a time lag averaging seven months. And finally, m all these cycles, he says, the size of the fluctuation in monetary growth has been closely related to the size of ll' recession or the boom.

M'"fBMT' Retail Spending Boost Puts Zing In Economy By WALTER BREEDE JR. NEW YORK (AP) More iobs and fatter paychecks for factorv workers, and a faster rate of spending in the nation's retail stores, put new zing this week in the economy's fall upturn. iteporting a 'significant im provement" in the job situation, the government announced that the number of jobless around the country dropped by 588,000 last month. Tho decline unusually laree even for September forced total unemployment down to 4.111.0O0. That's a new low for the year. it was a loregone conclusion that the job picture would continue to improve in October. Bethlehem Steel Corp. was re ported ready to re-start four or live more open-hearth steelmak ing furnaces in the Buffalo, N.Y.J area. Big United States Steel Corp. stepped up its production pace in the Pittsburgh district. Steel operations in the hard-hit Youngstown, Ohio, district were slated for one of the sharpest week-to-wcek gains of the year. A rising trend in appliance ales was reported bv Nome. Westinghouse, Frigidaire and Kel vinator. Things were looking up tor iluminum workers. Reynolds Met als Co. said it will return its alum inum reduction plant at Trouldale, Ore., to full capacity operations in three weeks. Alcoa set a faster production pace for its plants at .viassena, N. Y.. and Point Com fort, Tex. Cotton textiles provided one of the few soft spots. Cutbacks were ordered right ind left. Some mills will shut down completely for the weeks that include Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.

Fla. (AP) Alcoholic drinks are a gift of God if used properly but a horror if misused. Episcopalians were ad vised today. A report to the church's general convention, now in its second and final week, said that moderate so cial drinking is in full accord with Old and New Testament teaching. It cited scriptural references rom Genesis to St. Paul's Epistles. But the report added mat mere ire some signs in modern Amer ca that plenty of occasions on which liquor is served are degen erating into plain drinking bouts with no sociable purposes. At an evening party at home for relaxation with triends." the report suggested, the host seems to be "becoming more and more it a bartender, continuously and inxiotisly filling all glasses." Many lorms of the so-called cocktail party' fail to fulfill the needs of wholesome social fellow- hip and deteriorate into pointless ind unhealthy confusion," the re port added. Drawn up by a commission on ilcobohsm. headed by Delaware's Bishop J. Brooke Mosley of Wilm- ngton. it traced the full range of Hihical teaching on alcoholic Irinks. There is no scriptural com mand requiring total abstinence or the God fearing man," the re port said. "A Christian who drinks mod ratcly with due reeard for the leehngs and needs ot his brothers and with a conscientious care for the claims of God can drink with thanksgiving to him for these blessings." The report added that it is "sub- Christian" to drink shamefacedly is it's a minor compromise with vil because this in itself is be ittling part ol God's creation ihe "fruit of the vine' The report said there are scrin- uiral grounds why certain individ uals should he total abstainers, if easons such as these exist: That drinking would hurt others: hat health or occupation make it unwise: that the individual teels Icohol is a luxury he should gie up or wants 10 abstain as an act i discipline or devotion or be ,ise he just doesn't like the stuff "If A man does not dn: it 4 Time ktn nci r.aAHe'i .

"Similarly, it is important that if a man drinks, he should drink for the right reasons." The report said that if drinking itself becomes the primary motive of any occasion, rather than a sec ondary asset to sociability, then what is good has been prevented. If offered these tips to hosts: Never give a party for Ihe main purpose of drinking. Always serve food with drinks. Serve the food without undue de lay if drinks come first. Always serve nonalcoholic drinks too. Never allow pressure on guests to drink if they don't want to. Never leave it up to liquor to do your job of creating a whole some, sociable atmosphere.
