Here and There
By BILL JENKINS
Lyle 'Downing, for four years
court reporter on the Herald and
News, is now associated with the
publicity department of the Ore
gon Centennial.
Lyle left here to go to Boise
where he was affiliated with the
newspaper there.
Glad to see him back in Ore
gon.
Seems at least logical that his
new duties would bring him back
to the Basin for a checkup soon
er or later.
With the weather staying on the
sunny side, at least at this writ
ing, the situation is beginning to
confuse the local gardeners.
There is a good deal of unease
expressed for fear that things will
start growing too soon and be
caught by a freeze.
Around our home in the pines
I haven't noticed anything com
ing up early. There are some sus
picious looking lumps on the Vir
ginia creeper that may or may
not be buds. The pussy willow
died last fall. The chipmunks ate
the tulip bulhs. The pine trees
have stopped shedding needles to
a large extent but aren't showing
any spectacular signs of life or
death. The grass succumbed to a
frost earlier. I went up and felt
the grape vines but all that 1
could feel was (he stem break
ing.
If the sap is rising around our
place it isn't apparent.
l did see a pussy willow in a
downtown alley the other day with
definite buds, however.
Just shows what being down
town will do.
Exhaustive research has turned
up the fact that the only snow
storm of the year to date was
caused by our own Dave Cohen,
the news editor.
On the day preceding the storm
Dave washed, polished and waxed
his MG.
Apparently these San Francis
cans don't know about the rain
making powers of such an oper
ation. Country is slill full of swans.
Strange, in a way, that wc
should he hearing comment
already to the effect that we
should have a season on the big
birds.
I can't go along.
Why open a season on a species
just because there are more of
them than there were a few years
ago?
And who wants a season on
swans, anyway? They are big,
beautiful, graceful things in flight.
On the ground they are a lump
of meat and a sackful of feathers
with no real table attraction.
No sir. I shall resist any swan
season with all the power I can
muster.
Magazines
By FLORENCE JENKINS
Do you save old magazines in
stacks thinking you will go back
over them and read some of the
things you missed?
Or, do you exchange homemak
ing magazines with a friend or
friends so that there Is a progres
sive readership for each copy?
Whichever happens, there comes
a time when magazines slack up
and must be disposed of.
We learned this week of a real
need for home magazines or those
having a section devoted to home
decoration.
The home decoration phase of
hnmemaking is being taken up
right now by the second year
homemaking class at Klamath
union nign .icnooi. mere are
some 20 girls enrolled, between
the ages of 15 to 17 years. Illus
trations arc needed hy this class
to point up color harmonies and
combinations, room continuity
proportion and various aspects of
home decoration.
Mrs. Clara Fink, instructor, sug
gests that Illustrations and pages
from home magazines are a very
satisfactory way to demonstrate
some of the high points to the en
tire class.
The practical type magazines,
rather than those showing mu
seum or palace type rooms and
decorations, are the sort needed.
If you would like to help out
in this project, just leave single
copies or stacks of the magazines
at the Klamath Union High School
office.
They will be appreciated.
compromise: too mild for the
liberals, too strong for the South
ern Demcrats. But if any civil
rights bill can pass this year, it's
probably this one, or one like it.
just because it is middle-road.
Because it s that kind, it is
completely a description of John
son given last week hy one of his
closest associates: "Here in Wash
ington issues are all around us.
But Johnson doesn't try to create
issues; he tries to settle them
Johnson uses compromise to do
two things mainly: to inch for
ward and to avoid long fights that
create bitterness and delay the
Senate s work.
One of his aides said: "Some
times he 11 talk to as many as
50 people, in Congress, in govern
ment, outside government to get
the best advice he can before he
makes up his mind. He's a brain
picker.
"Sometimes he finds, through
these consultations in and out of
Congress, that a slight change in
the wording of a bill means the
difference between enough votes
to get it through and determined
opposition."
All this, of course, is in addi
tion to the many favors he does
for fellow senators, who are not
unmindful when he badly needs
them.
Having made up his mind, he
turns to strategy: picking the
time and the situation for making
his move, lie gave a demonstra
tion of that Tuesday.
Both the Eisenhower adminis
tration and the Senate liberals are
expected to offer civil rights leg
islation fairly soon. Some bills
already are in. Before olhers were
offered, Johnson unexpectedly pro
duced his proposal.
This got him the maximum at
tention for his bill. It became a
yardstick for judging olher pro
posals made later. By being first
with a compromise bill, he took
the steam out of any more far
reaching bills.
Johnson did the same kind of
thing on the opening day of this
new Congress. Liberals had said
they'd put up a tough fight to
change a Senate rule to make it
easier to smash a filibuster.
On opening day, before they had
a chance to open their mouths,
Johnson offered a plan to make
it just a very little bit easier 10
smash a filibuster. The liberals
didn't like it and neither did the
Southerners, but for opposite reasons.
But because it meant only a
mild change, the Southerners did
not filibuster and the change went
through. What had seemed on
opening day as a long fight was
cleared up in less than one week.
In 1957 Johnson did what many
people had' considered impossible:
he steered through the Senate the
first real civil rights bill to pass
in this century. It was truly a
compromise bill, too mild for the
liberals, too strong for the South
erners yet not strong enough to
cause a Southern filibuster.
of the agricultural division of
Chas Pfizer & Co., a pharmaceu
tical firm.
Dermody is helping coordinate
a nationwide program among edu
cators, farm groups, and imple
ment manufacturers to interest
American youth in the dramatic
future of agriculture.
It is more than a drive to "keep
'em down on the farm" or lure
city boys with strong backs out to
a little fresh air and exercise
amid the blooming clover.
"Agriculture today is more tharl
a dirt farm of 60 acres, five cows
and 30 pigs with 100 chickens in
the back yard," said Dermody.
"It is a big business in every
way. It is larger than steel or
automobiles or transportation. Of
65 million Americans who work
for a living, about 26 million or
nearly 40 per cent work in some
branch of agriculture,
"The scientific farmer is the one
who survives today. He has an in
vestment of $15,000 per worker,
as compared to an investment of
about $6,500 for industry gen
erally.
"It isn't simply a matter of get
ting more hired hands. We need
to attract more young scientists
into the agricultural field. We
need more marketing researchers,
farm journalists, machinery de
signers and engineers."
The last generation has seen a
real revolution in American ag
riculture, a revolution so quiet
many city people are still un
aware of Its achievements. New
techniques have speeded the
growth of both meat and of vege
table crops.
Dermony, like a number of U.S.
farm leaders, feels that perhaps
the major battle between the free
and Communist ideologies will be
decided by the world's bread
basket nations.

Common Man
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UP1) - The
stake of the common man in
President Eisenhower's effort to
balance Ihe federal budget by
reducing spending is this:
To prevent the dimes in the
common mans pocket from
shrinking to pennies,
The record to date suggests
almost assures that the budget
will not be balanced and that the
common man's dimes will con
tinue to shrink. This shrinking
process has been going on for
some time.
In Ihe span of 20 years, 1939-
1959, the common man's dime
shrank to the value of less than
a nickel. Assuming that the U.S.
dollar was worth 100 cents on
Jan. 1, 1939, it is worth less than
50 Cents today. Senate Finance
Committee experts estimate ac
tually that the purchasing power
of the 1939 dollar had been re
duced by half by 1957 when its
value was calculated to have been
49.4 cents. .
This shrinkage of the purchasing
power of money is the warning
symptom of a dreadful economic
disease called inflation. This dis
ease is deadly, like cancer, but
with a difference. Cancer kills
individuals whereas inflation kills
nations. Inflation destroys a na
tion's way of life, leaving ruin.
starvation and physical disease in
its stead.
The causes and cure of inflation
are disputed. One of the causes.
however, generally is agreed to
be the consistently deficit budgets

budget is one in which the govern

pay its bills.

have been so many deficit bud
gets that the interest charge on
government borrowings will ex

get this week, the Treasury will
pay out more than $8 billions just
for interest on borrowed money.
Government spending is out of
hand, seemingly uncontrollable.
Responsibility for this is divided.
The President proposes to the
Congress that certain sums shall
bo appropriated and spent. Con
gress may appropriate more or
less than the sum proposed. The
President, in some instances, may
spend all or less than the sums
appropriated.
This division of authority makes
it difficult for the common man

spending or; for that matter, for
under-spending. There is no dif
ficulty, however, in determining
who takes the mortal rap for
spending sprees, unbalanced bud

The common man, the uncom

womenfolk take the rap for that,
a paralyzing punishment. These
deficit budgets persist despite un

Indus! rial Parks
By SAM DAWSON
AP Business News Analyst
NEW YORK (AP)-The spread
of industrial parks across the na
tion is accented today by a new
comerNew York City and the
report of a survey by the New
England Council showing that its
six states now have 113 estab
lished and 18 others in the pro
posal stage.
Most other sections can point
to existing and planrad industrial
parks or districts. For both the
growing sections of the land and
the older and more static ones.
the idea offers two chief gains:
1. New payrolls boost the local
economy or offset previous loss
es; 2. Local and state govern
ments collect more taxes.
The idea works this way: The
planners find either large unused
plots in the cities or run down
plots that often have been taken
over by the city for unpaid taxes;
or they seek wide open spaces on
city outskirts, and sometimes in
its suburbs.
Such a site becomes an indus
trial park when a developmental
group, civic or private, has it
zones for industrial building and
installs adequate facilities ac
cess roads, water and gas mains,
electricity and sewer lines. Rail
road facilities often are stressed.
Some times private industry
takes over and builds plants on
the site. Often local development
bodies build what they consider
suitable plants and find a com
pany interested in operating in
them. Or the company may be
found first and the new plant
tailored to its needs.
New York City's industrial park
ill be its first under public spon
sorship a largely vacant 100
acre tract in the flatlands ' of
Brooklyn.
The proposed one illustrates the
gains cities expect from such
projects: The land is now as
sessed at million dollars and
yields the city about $40,000 a
year in taxes. The city expects its
development to cost as much as
20 million dollars (to be regained
by sale to concerns which settle
there), afford jobs for 3.000. and
bring in $700,000 a year in taxes
The New England Council's sur
vey reports the 113 industrial
parks in those states have a re
corded investment of 30 million
dollar for promotion, land ac
quisition and construction on, the
sites. It estimates that unreported
investments would bring the total
to around 60 million dollars.
The industrial park idea has
been pushed in New England in
postwar years to repair the dam
age caused hy the flight of much
of the textile Industry to the
South.

Canada Set
For 2 Bases
OTTAWA (AP) Two Bomarc
antiaircraft missile bases are
scheduled to be operating in Can
ada in late 1961.
It is understood the bases will
be in the neighborhood of North
Hay, Ont., and Mont Laurier,
Que.
The Bomarc is manufactured by
oueing mrpiane to. 01 aeaitie.
Ottawa officials say the missile,
to be fully effective, will have to
cany a nuclear warhead.
Under U.S. law, Canada cannot
oe given American atomic war
heads but they could be kept
under U.S. custody at the Canadi
an sites. These sites will be
roughly on a line running from
Sault Ste. Marie to Quebec City
lo nelp protect the Canadian
dustrial triangle east of the Great
Lakes.
Each site will have 56 launchinc
platforms as well as the radar
control unit, housing for person
nel, maintenance shops and the
liKe.
By lflfil, the Canadian air force
says, the Bomarc should have a
range of more than 375 miles. The
missile is a pilotless intercentor
and will operate in almost the
same way as the manned CF100
jet fighter currently functioning in
Canada's air defense system. The
Bomarc is designed to carry out
its task more quickly and to be
able to climb higher.
The two bases and the semi
automatic ground environment
electronic system to control their
operations will cost about 24
million dollars.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Somei
congressmen wont admit they re
licked on postage stamps.
"A commemorative stamp Is
one of the honors of our govern
ment, and I do think Congress
should have a voice in it," Rep.
Abraham J...Multer (D-NY) said
in an interview today.
Multer is one of 11 congressmen
who have introduced bills to au
thorize various commemorative
stamps although Congress
stopped passing such legislation
back in 1949.
To get a special commemora
tive stamp now a person has to
ask the post office department.
All requests go to a committee of
seven members appointed by the
postmaster general three artists,
three philatelists and one repre
sentative from the U.S. Informa
tion Agency.
The department issues about 12
to 15 special commemorative
stamps a year. It used to issue
many more when Congress was
passing stamp legislation.
In 1948 President Harry S. Tru
man vetoed a bill calling for a
stamp to commemorate the land
ing of the first Swedes in Ameri-
A great furor arose and the
department issued the stamp.
In the next Congress the post
office committees of both the
House and Senate passed resolu
tions saying they wouldn't consid
er any more postage stamp legis
lation because they weren't set up
to handle the scheduling and pro
duction problems.
That policy continues. But Mul
ter said he still hopes it will
change. His bill would honor Col.
David (Mickey) Marcus, a West
Point graduate who, he said, was
commander of the Israeli forces
during the war of independence of
Israel and was killed. Marcus
came from Multer's district.
Other stamp legislation intro
duced this year would commem
orate National Flag Day. the
Battle of Kings Mountain, S.C.,
and the 100th anniversary of Illi
nois State Normal University.
Still others would honor the na
tion's pioneer lumberjacks, coal
miners, the American farmer and
Sequoyah, the famous Cherokee j
Indian.
Rep. John P. Saylor (R-Pa)
wants a stamp bearing the phrase,
"highway courtesy is contagious."
