This seems to have been one of them for me. But I find quite a lot going on in the neighborhood of the office that proves interesting. I can walk less than a quarter of a block and get myself a job as sidewalk superintendent at the service station remodeling job at Bud Cloakc's. The old station is coming down, and with a bang Always fun to watch people de molish a building. And I admit to a pang of envy when I watch the workmen pick up a plank and deliberately stick it through a big pane of glass. In short, always something to watch. Or I can always go down and look over Don Kettler's new fleet of Volkswagens. He turned from the snob class of the Jaguar to two of the little jobs. A bus for vacation use and a doodlebug for town use. Seems to be S very workable solution to his problem. He tells me that he is planning to get out and really sec some of the country next summer. hood, the Crusaders, booby trapped their sweet woman, so to speak, and went off to steal some other guy's gal while liberating the Holy Land. Eventually the gals woke up to the fact that perhaps they had overdone it. Male curiosity was waning. History books tell us the birthrate fell. So the gals started adding a lit tle something down back and up front. They raised and lowered the shades on their charms, as it were, with more legs and bosoms showing to entice the unsuspect inx male. Over the ages the gals have learned never to let the poor dumb male know what to expect Just when he has decided that all legs look alike, and all superstruc tures are similar bingo! Legs get longer and superstructures balloon. But what the heck! Man is just a dumb animal with an overdeveloped bump of curiosity. Or I can drop down in the shop and always find some fish talk. Last fish tale comes from Rey nolds Morgan. He tells me that nut long ago he caught a big lake trout up at Eagle Ridge. When he opened it up he found a live, very alive, mullet in the trout's stom ach. The mullet was about three and a half inches long and had ob viously been swallowed up just before Reynolds hooked into the big one. Which reminds me that the fish ing on the Upper Lake has tem porarily slowed down due to the freczeup. But in the cold, raw days preceding the big cold snap the fishermen were out in force. They seem to like the cold weather. fp VlNhin" By FLORENCE JENKINS Sometimes we wonder if wc learn anything by experience. The year 1958 ended without very many of our apprehensions or worries being justified. Most of the things that most of us worry about never happen, any way. But worry is a difficult habit to break. We got through the year, despite the early dire predictions of anoth er recession. During that lovely fourth quarter, business did a nice about face and the total for the year averaged out ill right. And we all ate, didn't wc? Many businesses and professions have feast and famine periods Many occupations, from logging to engineering, have full periods during which activity and in come seem to drop to a new low. The upsurge always follows though, and you- wonder what you were worrying about. We are starling 11159 in a lot better economic shape than we started 1958, judging from nation wide reports. Here In Klamath Falls, there is ii general feeling of optimism this year. Christmas business, on the whole, was belter than had been expected. Construc tion has continued weeks later than the normal building season lasts. Klamath Kails is building for the future these days. The era of the false fronts of brick veneer covering shack exteriors along Main Street has passed. One after another, whole blocks aio being remodeled and brought up to hii;h standards of construction. Interior work is being done during the cold weather and the plans on the boards of local archilects indicate a big construction year for 1959. So. if a lull conies along, make the most of It. Take a rcs.1 and s blearier and you'll do better work when the next rush of activi ty arrives. As the father of one of our local engineers advises "Co fishin', son. go fishin'."

This trend reached a peak when thoie great protectors of woman Uii'M'rl'jiiiiiii'M By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP)-The Cuban revolution is only one of a multi tude of uncertainties today facing Americans with investments and trade abroad. In all parts of the gobe 1959 should offer answers to questions now baffling American business planners. Here is the stake: American' private investment abroad is approaching 37 billion dollars, the Department of Com merce reports. The total exports of commercial merchandise by American concerns in 1958 is esti mated at 17 billion dollars by the National Foreign Trade Council and with luck it should rise in 1959. . Here are some of the trouble spols: CUBA: Americans have about one billion dollars invested in the sugar, oil and tourist industries. The uncertainly: what the attitude of the new Castro government will he toward outsiders. For the sugar trade and American con sumers the question: Will the approaching sugar harvest enter world trade on schedule, keeping American refineries busy and the price of sugar here stable? VENEZUELA: The old 50-50 split of profits between American and other oil companies and the government has been changed to 40-60. U.S. concerns are protesting getting the short end of the deal and the final outcome is still up the air. Worrying them as anything is the effect this exam ple could have on their vast hold ings. MIDDLE EAST: Already some inroads have been made on the traditional 50-50 arrangement more are being talked up. Also furrowing the brows of oilmen is the general political unrest. Nas serism, communism and the Is raeli question keep Americans on an almost daily alert. INDONESIA: Political strife has had the oil and rubber companies on the defensive. All is quiet at the moment but Americans are not sure for how long. ARGENTINA: How to develop the oil industry there is just part of a general fiscal crisis, with Americans In the thick of it. BRAZIL: A monetary crisis keeps American companies watch ful. The coffee surplus and what's to be done about it will affect both American roasters and consumers. EUROPE: Uncertainties here have come thick and fast of late. France is trying to holster its shaky currency, first by devalu- the franc lo bring prices in line with its competitors, and sec ond by an austerity drive to com bat the treasury deficit. Ameri cans can only guess how De Gaulle will make out. Americans mostly rejoice at the rush of European nations to make their currencies partly converti ble with the dollar as a step in the right direction. But the main object wasn't so much to improve trade with the United States as to adjust to the new competitive fac tors in the birth of a new Euro pean economy. THE C O M M O N MARKET Erance, West Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium and Luxem bourg are starting a lengthy proc ess of lowering tariff walls among themselves and presenting a com mon tariff front to outsiders. Americans fear that will make it harder for them to sell in the six nations, and will make it easier for the six to take world markets away from Americans. U.S. com panies also are wondering if they should open more plants inside the common market. IMPORTANT QUOTAS: Many nations still have them against American goods. Americans noted lhat France in ending some quotas did so on raw materials which French manufacturing might want to buy from us, but not on goods made by U.S. companies which French consumers might want to buy. In other words, France is still keeping a rein on how many francs Americans can earn to dollars. RUSSIA: The uncertainly here is global now. The Soviets have declared a trade war on the Unit ed Slates. They are out to take world markets from us wherever they can and when it suits their policies to try. I lio I ililiiislVr By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) - The 'new Senate explodes Wednesday in a fight over changing its rules. It may last weeks and much of it will sound dull. But it's far-reach ing. This is an ABC on it. A bloc of Northern Democrats and Republicans wants to change Senate Rule No. 22, which makes it so hard to. smash a filibuster that none has been broken in 31 years. The Senate prides itself on its rule of practically unlimited de late. But debate can have two purposes: To discuss an issue fully before a vote on it or to prevent a vote altogether. The latter is the filibuster. The 98 senators will do most of their business passing bills by just a simple majority of those present on the floor at voting time. A full majority, harder to get, would be 50 of the 98. But under Rule No. ,22, shutting off a filibuster against a measure to let the Senate by a simple majority vote decide its fate re quires a two-thirds vote of all the senators, or 66 of the 98. Getting such a two-thirds vote is almost impossible, except in some national emergency. The reason: So many senators, not just South ern Democrats, favor the principle of unlimited debate. It isn't hard for each to fore see the time when he. too. may want to use it to prevent passage of legislation he intensely opposes. The filibuster has been em ployed against various proposals in the Senate's long history. In re cent years Southerners particular ly have used it, and successfully, to prevent passage of civil rights bills. The Northerners, favoring new civil rights legislation, protest that Rule No. 22 permits a mi nority in the Senate, where South erners are in a minority, to thwart a majority. Southerner argue that a minor ity under Rule No. 22 can protect itself against the unwelcome will of a Senate majority. But why all the fuss about changing Rule No. 22? Since the Senalo adopted this rule itself. SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal can't it change it easily? Not eas ily. Here's why: No time limit of any kind can be put on a filibuster against a proposal to change the rule. This raises such an obstacle to changing rules once the Senate is in business that the Northerners have settled on another plan. It failed in 1953 and again in 1957 and may not work this time. senators are elected lor six years. Although every two years the scats of one-third of them are at stake in the elections, the oth er two-thirds are still in the Sen ate serving out their unexpired terms. Because of this, opponents of any change in Rule No. 22 argue lhat even when there is a new session of Congress, as there is this year, it does not mean a new Senate. They say: The Senate is never a new bu! a continuing body. So in each new session of Congress the Senate continues to have the same rules under which it did business in the preceding Congress. rne rtiorinerners wilt argue Wednesday, as before, that each new session of Congress means a brand new Senate and as such the new Senate does not have to in herit rules but should adopt its own. So they will ask Wednesday, be fore the Senate is fully in busi ness, that it adopt new rules. If they can -win that point, they will ask that Rule No. 22 be changed before it s adopted. They reason If the Senate agrees that the old rules don't apply until they are freshly adopted, then Rule No. 22, with itsprotection for a filibuster against a rule cnange, ooesn t ap ply, doesn't exist, and can't work. In short, the Northerners argue: Until new rules are adopted, the Senate will not be operating un der Rule No. 22 or any other pre vious rule but only under parlia mentary law. This will lead to argument on whether parliamentary law, where rules are concerned, requires simple majority or two-thirds vote. And no doubt there'll be a filibuster of some kind. All this should cause a parlia mentary snafu on a grand scale. . . . ,' I EVSNIMi.tJtAR. ) Cuba's Ilobvllion By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cuba's nagging, two-year-old rebellion has never followed the pattern of the traditional banana republic grab for power. It ap pears to fit in more with Latin America's long history of struggle against dictatorship. Only time will tell whether the bloody revolt will really bring political freedom to Cuba. That island nation has passed through a montonous succession of dictat orships during half a century of independence. The big unknown in the revolt is its rangy, bearded leader, Fidel Castro. Free elections, civil liberties and democracy are his rallying cry, but Castro is the son of a wealthy planter who has been a rebel since his student days in Havana. He has never held office or had a chance to show his true political colors. Castro's opponent is President Fulgcncio Batista, a tough for mer army sergeant who first seized power in 1933 and calls Castro "a renegade, a murdering outlaw and a Communist with a long criminal record." Castro denies that he is a Com munist. But many Americans with an intimate knowledge of Cuba say the island's Reds are helping the rebel chief and will make him their tool if he ever gels into power. Castro has attracted perhaps 5.000 men now under arms against Batista. For months they were no match in an open battle jwith Batista's armed lorced. which number around 35.000 and are well equipped, mostly with U. S. arms. So Castro has used hit-and-run guerrilla tactics since he landed on Cuba's southwest coast with a nucleus of 81 rwn on Dec. 2, 1956. The taelics have undercut Bat ista's main source of power Cuba's unmatched prosperity. Much of the tourist trade has been frightened away. Rebel de struction of roads,, bridges and transport in eastern Cuba is en dangering prospects for market ing and milling this year's sugar crop. Rebel spokesmen insist il.ey do not want to damage the main support of Cuba's economy, but planters are apprcnensive. The market in sugar futures indicates pessimism on this year's crop out look. The worse conditions grow in Cuba, the more chance Castro has to succ.-cd in his long range strategy of fomenting unrest. i .,- VA HIS NOSE COME ASM- V PL4VEO-HE WOULDN'T C WH4T5 HE A US qqj -jug BENCH A GIVE UP THE BdU EVEM I HOGGIN THE WORN out with WIS AWHEM THE G4ME WIS J I B4LL FOQ?)
