SUNDAY, JANUARY 11. 1959 . HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 7 A YMCA Had 1958 Deficit; Cuts Cost This Year By LAMAR HOOVER j The Klamath County Young Men's Christian Association wound up the year 1958 with an operating account deficit of $3,110, Bill De Pew, treasurer, told the organiza tion's annual membership meet ing, but he said there is reason to hope that accounts will be in balance at the end of 1959. The deficit resulted despite mas tive economy moves on the part of the association, where KNecu tive Secretary Paul Campbell was left, as sole member of the ad ministrative "staff," to run the show on a one-man basis. Whatever the results of this policy may have heen for the "s program, or for Campbell person Elly, they have been great for the association's expenses trimmed a whopping 18 per cent ($6,391.92) from the year 1957. The fact that there was any deficit at all resulted from the paying off of a $3,750 note during the course of the year. By the end of 1958 the amount of notes outstanding had been brought down to $5,333.72. Already in 1:15(1, $3,500 of this has been paid off, out of 1959 income, and the bal ance of the indebtedness is largely accounted for by a normal F1IA long-term loan for business im provements. Thus, the. treasurer's optimism for the future is under standable, though l!to9 Is certain to be another economy year. Significant shifts (that is, changes of over 5 per cent) re vealed by a study of income and expense accounts for 1958 as com pared to 1957 were the following, the sums representing the amount of increase or decrease: Decreases in expenses: admini strative salaries, down 21 per cent ($1, 994.87): retirement expense, 15 per cent ($113.35) : health service supplies, 81 per cent ($47.42): of fice supplies, 51 per cent ($212.78): travel expense, 71 per cent ($341.94); hospital insurance, 28 per cent ($47.21); insurance, 21 per cent ($190.52); conference and training, 55 per cent ($349.13) ; purchases, 56 per cent ($512.49); postage, 18 per cent ($38.58); mis cellaneous expenses, 96 per cent ($529.02); day camp expenses, 46 per cent ($300.94); program, 58 per cent ($1,025.35); building main tenance, 56 per cent ($1,184.51); and janitorial supplies, 54 per cent '$147.55). There was also a ficti tious bookkeeping decrease in prpperty taxes of $793.96. In ref erence to the administrative sal aries, it should be noted that Campbell has been alone for well over a year.

TUNIS (AP) - Thwarted in the' field by the French army, the Al gerian rebels are considering stepped up terrorism to support their four-year effort to win inde pendence from France. The rebels already are intensify ing efforts to obtain interest in the cause. The Arab nations support them and a rebel delegation re cently heard encouraging words in Communist China. Rebel leaders who use Tunisia as a sanctuary concede that they have been hampered by the Mo rice Line, a French barrier of mines and electrified barbed wire on Algeria's Tunisian border. They call the line a formidable obstacle but deny French claims that it , has cut rebel border movements' by 95 per cent. rhe rebels also have suffered from growing French penetration into the Algerian countryside with social and economic programs which French President De Gaulle is counting on to win over the peo pie. The programs already have reduced the rebel appeal to Al geria's nine million Moslems. These factors and the dragging on of the rebellion without an end in sight seem to be creating a se rious morale problem within the rebel army. One highly placed staff officer admitted that "several hundred of our men recently refused to go to the front-and had to be arrested. This tended to back up French re ports in Algeria of rebellion in ret el ranks. The French say a number of young rebel fighters here want ac tion or out. French sources also contend the field units are bitter about the comparatively easy life of their political leaders in Tunis, Cairo and Switzerland. Both Tunisian and rebel officials deny French reports of trouble be twecn rebel units in western Tu nisia and the civilians living there. As an answer to their field prob- lems, rebel leaders indicate they are considering more terrorist at tacks on important French mill lary and civilian leaders. On the diplomatic front, the reb els would like more recognition for their provisional government in Cairo. A spokesman for that govern ment Friday denied reports cur rent in Tunis that the Soviet Un ion had invited rebel ministers to Moscow. But rebel ' leaders here make it clear they would appre ciate such an invitation as a pos sible prelude to Soviet recognition. Americans who keep an eye on Algerian rebel diplomacy do not think the rebels are Communist sympathizers. "But at this stage they are ready to appeal for help to anyone," one U.S. official said.
