f AGE SIX FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr Ph. TU 4-4752 Election ZVIjfilil By FLOYD L. WYNNE As the election returns rolled into the county clerk's office Tues ("ay night. Die pangs of pleasant memories assailed me and re minded me of many an election nicht of the past years. The modern day trend toward hurry-up returns has somewhat spoiled the night for those of us who are genuine stay-up-all-night election return covorers Maybe it was the lateness of the age, or the carliness of the hour, but when dawn opened its eyes, mine were about closed. But, through it all swirled a pic ture of confusion, orderly but cha otic, of inward tears for those de feated, of outward smiles of those victorious. The final vote was added into the columns about 9:30 Wednes day morning when North Shasta finally reported. The two hours from 7:30 on were spent in routing people out of bed in such scat tered places as Realty and Odell to get the returns. The aftermath to the election night in the county clerk's office was a pile of paper cups, dough nut crumbs, and stack afler stack of scratch pads and papers. This was the nearest to a good old-fashioned public election party. The generosity of Sheriff Murray Britton and the Spudnut Shop provided election nighters with cof-lin lee and doughnuts. I Candidates and supporters alike crowded around whenever a phone report came in, or an election board member brought in a count. Some calculated on paper, oth ers kept the figures turning around in their heads, and gradually as the races became settled, the crowd thinned. Through it all, the dean of 14 of these election reports calmly han dled all the reports as they came. I'm speaking of Charlie DeLap. I don't know quite how he did it, but he remained there all through the night, and when I re turned about mid-day of Wednes day, he looked as though he had had a full night's sleep. Through it 1 couldn't help but think of the man or woman who savs "Oh, my vote is not im portant." Every vole, whether write-in or not, was mighty important not only lo those people gathered to hear the returns, but lo the candidates, and in (he long run. to the operation of the city and the county as a whole. Every vote did count . . . and count very much. One of the biggest surprises was the amount of the write-in vote in (he district attorney contest. Over 7.000 votes is more than 50 per cent of the voles cast. That indicates the interest that voters placed in this one campaign. But the scene of eager, hopeful candidates, some gradually chang ing to reflect the voting trend to ward defeat, was one that was highly impressive. It was a view of thr public at work. In It, one could see Ihe mental attitude of the public be ing expressed in forceful terms, one could truly see the power of the ballot box at work. When it was over, and Ihe last ballot counted, there was little for the defeated candidates to do but say, "The public has spoken," and lor the victorious candidates to square their shoulders, take an other look at their campaign prom ises, and prepare lo do their best with Ihe mandate Ihe people had gien them. Election night, lo me, was democracy at one of its finest hours. Tin' tvlcclion Ry NELSON REED The results of Ihe election were not tuo surprising or unexpected. Most of us voters have been a lit tle "sick" for sometime about a number of things. Like most ot us who rclusc lo blame our own ail ments on our own foolishness, we try (o get well quickly and pain lessly by changing doctors. The 'olers for several .rars have been a little "sick" about our foreign policy. They have no Idea what should he done hut they feel that their specialist in Wash ington should come up w ith a cure. So Ihry decide lo go (o another specialist. A lot ol voters were made a lit tle sick by the recession, and some are still ailing. They have been told for number of years now that Ihe nasly old out of work dis ease had been wiped out forever The great Doctor Washington would always prescribe something so that no one was ever unem ployed again. When it didn't hap pen tha( way Ihry blamed Ihe doc tor and decided lo look for a new one.

SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Srrring Southern Oregon And Northern California previous quacks blamed their prcs 'ent doctor, who has been trying to '.,( rtmin iha Hntn nf Ihn urnnf medicine. They decided lo look for a new doctor who could prescribe some miracle drug that would cure them of their own self induced chronic ailments. The voter, being a not untisuaH patient and cursed with all the frailties of the species, never de cides that most of his troubles and ailments he has brought on himself. He is forever hoping to find that new doctor who can prescribe some miraculously quick painless cure so that the patient will quickly become as healthy as he likes to think he used lo be wilhout the least cflort or sacri fice on his part. And so today we have elected a lot of new doctors. The patient, being a hardy critter,, will prob ably survive. Whether he will leel better for very long is doubtful. VoO Illt'llM'UCO By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YOUK ' API Business men's first look at the election returns probably leads most of them today to feel: 1. The Congress seems likely to pour more money into the econ omy already on the upgrade. 2. It may well try to make mon- ley and credit easier especially the fields of housing and small business. 3. The result could increase in flation psychology among the pub lic in general. The first fruits of that could be speculation, both in the markets and in industry through inventory buildups and plant expansion. And later could come another rise in the cost of living. And in lime, of course, larger tax collections. But businessmen's second look at the election results shows there are sll curbs that hold down a spending spree such as President Eisenhower fears. One thing is his veto power. Another is the coali tion of his administration with conservative Democratic leaders in Congress. The only question here is how effective this will be in Ihe new Congress. The newly elected lib erals will be low men on the committees lo which they are ap pointed, but in alliance with hold over liberals they may be num erous enough to be hard for the conservative leadership to handle. What worries businessmen most about Ihe prospects of more gov ernment spending is thai it will come on top of an already huge total. The outgoing Congress volcd enough appropriations to send Ihe U. S. drbl to a record high and to build up a prospect of a 12 billion-dollar Treasury deficit. And the administration is reported to be preparing a new budget of around 80 billion to submit In January. Unless corporate prolils pick up enough lo provide the Treasury with a lot more income tax rev enue, another large deficit is al ready in sight. The first impact of new gov ernment spending is the pleasant one, (or them, of Increasing sale; for suppliers to (he government At almost the same lime (he Treasury must go (o (he money market lo raise new cash (o make these payments. If it laps the hanks (or this il builds up their deposits and their ability lo use. government securities (or borrow ing money (o lend lo business or to consumers wanting (o go in debt (or purchases. Demos Wiii'ihmI By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API - The Democrats had better watch their steps. They're riding high alter Tues day's flections, with visions of a repetition in I960. But they (ace problems these next two years So does President Eisenhower in dealing with them. These past two years the Demo crats have outnumbered Ihe Re publicans 49 47 In the Senate, and 235-200 In the House. In the nexl two years they II outnumber Ihcm Tell you what I'll do . . . you and I'll let HERALD 62 to 34 in the Senate, and at least 231 lo about 153 in the House. With these overriding majorities in both houses they'll be in a far better position lo shape and put through the kind of programs they want. And, if Eisenhower falters in his leadership, they may wind up doing most of the leading. But (hose big majorities mean (hey'll also have to take more re sponsibility for any failures lo put through Congress what the people want. When their margin over the Republicans was smaller, the two parties could blame each other for what went wrong. By (he same token, of course, the Democrats can claim more credit (or (he good things. H would seem tha( by slicking together on programs with voler appeal the Democrats can grease (heir way towards the 1960 elections. But the balance among (he Dem ocrats be(ween Southern con servatives and more liberal North erners and Westerners was changed Tuesday in (avor of the latter. This may mean sharper in-(igh(- ing between the two groups, and it certainly will in the field of civil rights. The spectacle of Demo crats split and wrangling won't in crease their 1960 appeal. And no matter how good Ihe Democrats' legislative record is these next two years, there's still a chance the party will split wide open at the I960 convention over civil rights. If that happens if the South erners walk out or rally around a third party in the South the door is opened for a Republican victory. The Southern members of Congress will think twice before letting that happen. For this rea son: In this Democratic Congress Southerners hold a majority of the committee chairmanships, which are prize plums. They'd lose the chairmanships if the Republicans won. From the standpoint of parly harmony the Democrats are lucky to have as their leaders Sen. Lyndon Johnson in the Senate and Speaker Sam Rayburn in the House two Texans who are two of the best congressional generals in this century. They're real pros. If anyone could keep the party rolling smoothly, Ihey should. But it's go ing lo be tougher for Ihcm to call the shots these next two years than in the past two because they have more Democrats to handle now. Because of their Tuesday vic tory the Democrats it they stick together are in a more domi nant position than in any Congress since early New Deal days to tell a president what kind of programs he can have, and how much. For just that reason Eisenhower if he hopes to get his programs through will have lo work even harder at getting along with the Democrats. He's been pretty suc cessful at i( ever since they took control of Congress in 1954. But, since he'll have to try to get along, he won't be in a posi tion to play partisan politics with the Democrats. So the Republi cans, if they hope to find leader ship that will carry them to vic tory in 1960, must look elsewhere than to Eisenhower these next years. And Vice President Nixon, even though he has presidential ambi tions, can't very well take a rough role with the Democrats while Eisenhower plays it nice. The Democrats are not dumb . enough to stand for a double-play at their expense. LniH'li llcform By HUGH A. MULLIGAN NEW YORK (APi-That grand old business institution, lunch in a brown paper . bag, is rapidly vanishing from the American scene. In its place is the liquid lunch of extra-dry martinis, spiced with bis-deal, shop talk. The man who came lo dinner with a brown paper bag never discussed office problems at (he noon hour. He was too busy swap ping sandwiches. And Ihe only midday drinking he did was an occasional pail o( take that thing with you go!" AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS.

Lunch was mysterious, excit ing, even socially revealing when served in a brown paper bag. A fellow could come to work with a jar of pickled herring and a couple of left-over sausages in a stale roll, and by adroit trad ing wind up with a full course meal from the paper bags of his fellow employes. In the process, he'd learn which wives were good cooks, who were the real gour mets in the crowd and how much the average family budgeted for food. He could dine on everything from anchovies to zwiebachs and never have to worry about get ling an ulcer, tipping the head waiter or being outfumbled on his credit card. The brown-bagger, as his cult came to be known, was at heart a family man. When he left for work in the morning, he took a little bit of home along with him. And when he came home at night, he never had to face a din ner of left-over leftovers. He'd al ready eaten them for lunch or managed to parlay them into something better. Usually, the next fellow's leftovers. If he worked outdoors, say as a carpenter or lineman, he was the envy of every kid in the neighborhood when he spread out his lunch on somebody's doorstep. There wasn't a boy alive who wouldn't have risked getting back lo school late lo fetch him a quart of milk or a tomato from the cor ner stand. Today Ihe brown-bagger slill exists in isolated pockets in our frenzied society. But he has gone underground for fear of being de lected. Instead of carrying his sack of sandwiches with pride and a swagger, he conceals them in the deep recesses of his attache case. Even the bill. of fare is shock ingly different. Gone are the green peppers and pickled water melon rinds, replaced by a di etetic sandwich: One unwashed ettuce leaf shivering between two slices of melba toast. For dessert, a tranquilizer pill in a cup of luke warm water with a twist of Ven ezuelan lemon.
