PAGE 6 A HERALD AND-NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON SUNDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1958 FRANK JENKINS Editor BtLL JENKINS Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr Ph. TU 4-4752 lOlMll By BILL JENKINS Buster and Slicker are dead. They were the two dogs pic tured in this paper a short time ago with the big black bear shot In the Bly area by Harry Oben chain. The two were apparently victims of a poison bait put out for coy otes some distance from the Oben chain ranch house. It is sad to think of two dogs, a father and son team of golden retrievers, so full of life and so full of enjoyment in their wonder ful outdoor world being snuffed out like that. But, in the long run all we can do is voice that sorrow and hope for a better world someday. It is a situation that involves so many things that make any con structive thinking on the subject difficult. Sure, it is true that poi son is a menace no matter how used. But, on the other hand, 1 suppose that we must admit that there is enough predator damage to warrant such poisoning. Sure, you say, it is up to every man to keep his dogs at home where they won't get into trouble. And that is about like saying that we should keep all our children in the front yard and drive on the right side of the road. It is pretty tough lo do all the time. Buster and Slicker were pretty much kept up. It just happens that they got out for a run on a day when the fresh poison was there. The poison, incidentally, was marked by a sign. But dogs can't read. One person suggested a reason able bounty on coyotes which would encourage more hunters to go out during the off seasons and keep their shooting eye in. This idea Is a good one but runs into prob lems just like all the rest. There is the matter of posted land, of Irresponsible hunters who cannot and must not be allowed around livestock of any kind. There is the enforcement problem. All kinds of road blocks. 1 frankly confess that I do not know the answer. 1 am pretty well convinced in my own mind that we are heading inlo trou ble with the whole poisoning pro gram, from crop sprays to preda tor control. But where are you go ing to draw the line? Who is to say when we have reached the saturation point where the poisons themselves Hre doing more dam age than the insects and preda tors they are supposed lo control? How far can wo go betore we up set the balance beyond recall? Ahout all 1 can say is that we shall miss Busier and Slicker. That we must be on our guard and do our part lo protect our pets as well as our livestock. At best, perhaps this incident will Impress it on us that accidents can happen. It wasn't anyone's fault. It was just a chain of cir cumstances that paid off in death Maybe someday us humans will smarten up enough to handle sit uations without that element ol error. I hope so. Pearl ll.irhor By FLOYD L. WYNNE I wasn't there that fateful Sun day morning. But I have served with ship males who were, and who lived through the terror-filled moments as America was caught flat-footed w ith her guard down, and we were hit by a scheming, ruthless en my. A number of limes since, how ever, I have visited the place that today stands for "sneak attack." the place that is synonymous with "being unprepared to resist at tack." Today, 17 years alter that srur rilous attack, the waters of Pearl Harbor share Ihe secret of the number of dead in Ihe hold of the Arizona's hulk only with God. Garlands of flowers float scren ly over this hallowed tomb which one Sunday morning was a lloat ing. living ship just awakening to the dawn of a routine Sunday morning. A living ship that mo ments later was to become a flame- ravaged, sinking, twisted mass of men and metal. The memorial services today can only serve to emphasize these men and their heroic purpose. Their sacrilice and the memory of it may prove lo be one of the great blessings for the future of this country. As long as we re call their memory, we will also remember the tragic loll that comes when one is unprepared. The day of formal declarations of war, the day of niceties of war (If there is such a thing' are a thing of the chivalric past. Today, war is the grim, ruthless business of destroying a nation, a people as quickly and as effectively as the weapons devised by man can accomplish. Yt, looking back at the 17 in- Ec'ered as second class matter at the post office at Klamath Falls. Ore., on August 20. 1906. under act of Congress, March 8. 1879. SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS ' Serving Southern Oregon And Northers California lervening years between Pearl Harbor Sunday and today, one finds it the very symbol of the futility of wars. In the intervening years, mil lions died or were maimed and crippled in the war that followed. Untold thousands were sacrificed on the altar of the ambitions of a scheming few bound on world domination. Yet, today, we find ourselves friends with the Japanese people. The bitterness that consumed us during Ihe bloody days of World War II has faded, and today, we link arms lo face another schem ing government, bent on the same world domination. The ravages of World War II will never lade for many people and places. Hiroshima, Nagasaki brought bitter tears to the Japan ese, yet, for them too, the bit terness is gone. What did World War II accom plish, then? Historically, little or nothing. The imperialistic edge is gone from the Japanese sword, and has been replaced with a driving neces sity to refashion herself on the pattern of the western world, yet retaining the best of the Japanese culture. But. overall . . . Japanese American relations are better to day than they were prior to World War II. The war may have brought that understanding. Asiatic nations have regained their independence from the Jap anese conqueror, so the war has gained the Japanese nothing but bitterness and defeat. Poor compensation for the price paid! World War II did do one thine and that certainly wasn't ior the good of humanity. It sel Ihe stage for World War III by boosting another nation to world power where it may some day make a grab for power as did Ihe Japanese. The biller lrsson of unbridled warfare was lost completely on the Communist nations of Ihe world. Instead of fearing war, they use it for their own purposes, and have indicated clearly that they, too, would sloop to a "Pearl Har bor" attack on the United Stales, if there were a chance it would succeed. Seventeen years aller that fate ful Pearl Harbor Sunday comes Ihe acid realization that today, as then, Ihe search still continues for that willol-lhe-wisp, "peace on earth." Mickey Iloouey By HAL BOYLE NKW YOltK (API "You have to he Irue lo yourself," said Mickey Rodney, whose fourth di vorce is in the mill. "You have to learn to under stand your own faults. You can progress then if you learn to un derstand yourself first." It was 4 30 in the allernoon. breakfast time for Rooney, who is in the middle of a four-week engagement at his (irst night club appearance here. At 38, Hollywood's ageless Puck is as bouncy and full of self-confidence as ever, hut an air of friendliness has replaced the con ceit that annoyed his earlier clitics. Mickey really never has been offstage since he crawled out be fore the footlislils and got his lirst Intigh when he was less than a year old. At 4 he played his (irst adult role a midget and he was the nation's top-drawing film star hefore he could vote. "I guess I've been in at least ISO pictures." said Mickey. "But I like all mediums night clubs radio, television, movies. They all come under one tent: Show busi ness." "1 don I feel any limitations, and there's nothing 1 wouldn't love lo play if I was tall enough. SHORT RIBS But I never have felt my height" he's 5 feet 3 "has been a handi cap professionally." Rodney's outside interests at present are concentrated on golf, matrimony, and music but not necessarily in that order. He has done the musical scores for a couple of films, he plays the piano now instead of the drums, and he likes to write' semi folk songs. He's a member of ASCAP. Mickey is quite willing up to a point to discuss his marital proh lems, and if his repeated matrr monial strikeouts have hurt him he hides the scars well. "I've had five wives," he said, "Four," broke in a member of his entourage. "Well, so I'm a liar for one? I'm being divorced again now But I'm still interested in getting married again. "They don't scare me. I love Jgirls. They're here to stay." Mickey remains a perennial optimist. "I get a kick out of everything." he said. "There are no problems that can't be solved. "Happiness is inevitable, I be lieve. You just have to seek it. But if you do. you'll find it some where along the line. "I have great failh in people. I never judge anybody at the lirst meeting or the second meeting. It isn't fair. "He can see you but you can't see yourself." S1 il (a'lM'KS By JAMES MARI.OW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API This looks like a solid guess for next year no general increase in the tax rale and no general tax cut. , But the government needs mon ey so what may happen is this: Some changes in the tax laws to plug loopholes; perhaps a boost in the gasoline tax or postal rates. And there is talk of boosting the lax on insurance companies, of re moving some exemptions and pref erences affecting individuals and corporations. President Eisenhower expressed the brave hope of reducing gov ernment spending in his last two years in office. But spending is likely to go up, not down. This year government spending will run around 80 billion dollars and government income because of the economic slump around 67 billions. This means a gap of 12 to 13 billion between government outgo and income. And this week the No. 1 tax man in Congress Rep. Wilbur T). Mills (D-Ark), chairman of the House Ways and Means Commit tee, where all tax changes start said he doesn't see government spending next year running less than 80 billions. Instead, he thinks next year the hill may be around 83 billions with revenue at no more than 78 bil lions. That would mean another deficit, this lime of about five bil lions. So the government's dilemma comes down to this if it hopes to live somewhere within its income: 1. Reduce expense. This is so tough to do particularly because of the need for defense spending that it can be almost ruled out. 2. Raise taxes generally on indi viduals and corporations. It's un likely. The politicians don't want to have to face the voters in 10 with a bigger tax hill in their hand. 3. Find some way to get more federal income from taxes wilh- out a general tax increase. That could be done in a number of ways, such as those suggested at the beginning of this story.

These officials also disclosed that Budget Director Maurice Stans and Postmaster General Ar thur Summerfield recently con ferred on the possibility of urging another increase in postal rates. Mills offered various ideas on getling more revenue from taxes: such as removing some exemp tions and tax preferences for in dividuals .and corporations. But from the way Mills talked to the Tax Foundation in New York this week it would seem his committee is going to move very cautiously, at least in 1959, in try ing lo gel some changes through Congress, and perhaps try a little more in 1960. Personality (Millie By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) -According to a "pilot" study, the automobile driver who doesn't have accidents is more self-reliant and indepen dent than the driver who does. He is better natured, more ready to cooperate with other peo ple, and more attentive to them. And he's more generous in his personal relationships and less afraid of criticism. But the driver who does have accidents "tends to be more stiff, cool, aloof" than Ihe driver who doesn't, and he is "more inhibited with unexpressed feelings of in eriority." He likes things more than he likes people. He is more rigid in his ways and in his personal stan dards, and more self-centered and less concerned with the needs and wants of others than the accident less driver. The "pilot" study was made by Drs. Gerard G. Neuman and Will iam R. E. Newman and James M. Howell of the University of Utah. Salt Lake City. They grant readily that their findings may not apply to automobile drivers as a whole. But that wasn't the idea of their study. The idea was to find out if psychological science was suf ficiently advanced to distinguish different characteristics in drivers who had been involved in acci dents and drivers who hadn't been. They felt their "pilot" study had shown that the science was sul ficienlly advanced. This could be mightily useful, they said in re porting to the American Public Health Association, since all au thorities agree that the real an swer to the highway safety ques tion lies in the drivers of motor vehicles. Their "pilot" study results call for really large-scale psychologi cal investigations of drivers, they said. If enough are studied by the most advanced psychological and statistical techniques, then you could know in advance which dri vers were more likely to have ac cidents than other drivers. How this knowledge could be ap plied, they did not say. That's a matter (or law-makers rather than scientists. Conceivable, a driver who tested out badly might (ind it harder to get a driver's license or liability insurance lor his car. Their "pilot" study went this way: They look 17 Salt Lake City policemen who had had no acci dents and eight policemen who had had two accidents in the past year. All 25 were put through nine psychological tests. The scores of the 17 and of Ihe eight were then averaged and compared. Needless lo say, so many tests look many hours to give. The scientists thoiiBht that with further studies it might he possible to de vise one test which would take 30 to 40 minutes to administer, it would be .possible to give such a test to unlimited numbers of dri vers.

(UPI) Gils Grecnbaum, former president of the swank Riveria Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., and his wife were buried here Friday less than three Judge Denies 'Proof Offer' In Beck Trial TACOMA, Wash. (AP) The income tax evasion (rial of for mer Teamsters' Union president Dave Beck recessed for Ihe week end shortly alter noon Friday when the judge denied a govern ment move to introduce testimony concerning some Beck transac tions. U. S. District Court Judge George H. Boldt denied Ihe gov ernment "o((er of proof" regard- transactions which occurred alter the 1950-53 period of the Beck indictment. The judge ruled the evidence was not now of "sufficient probi ty, " but said the government may be allowed to introduce the evi dence at a later date. Prior lo the recess A. M. Burke, oflicial of the Occidental Life Insurance Co. of California, testified that Beck's assets in 1951 totaled more than one mil lion dollars. Beck submitted a fi nancial statement listing his net worth at $1,052,716.65 when he ap plied for a $273,000 loan from the company. Burke said. The insurance executive said Beck, on trial for evading $240,- 000 income taxes, listed his lia bilities at $234,000 in his loan ap plication. Assistant U.S. Atly. John S. Obenour asked Burke if he ever had been advised that Beck owed money to a Teamster entity. Not to my recollection," Burke replied. The defense has contended the increase in Beck's net worth dur- ng the period covered in the in dictment was due entirely to bor rowings from the Teamster Un ion, which have been repaid.

Greenbaum, 65, and his wife, Bess, 64. were found in their home with their throats slashed Wednes day. At Ihe double funeral services, Rabbi Albert L. Plotkin described Greenbaum as a "fine person, loved and respected as a friend, who gave himself simply and with out notoriety." He called Mrs. Greenbaum a "regal queen and true mother of Israel who walked in our midst." Rabbi Plotkin told the some 300 friends attending the service: "Let us hope God has given them peace." .Meanwhile, police still soueht several persons known to have had business dealings with Green baum in recent years. Police Chief Orme Morehead said there were almost no clues in the case and emphasized that there were 00 ac tual suspects at present. The coroner's inquest disclosed Mrs. Greenbaum had suffered' a skull fracture from blows on the head and her husband had suf fered two skull fractures. The medical officer said, however, that cause of death in both cases was a slashed throat.
