TU 44752 KI'IIS Ori-li(tra By FLORENCE JENKINS Under the able chairmanship ol Mrs. Jim Wells, money is being raised to send the Klamath Union High School symphony orchestra on a live-day concert trip to Fur est Grove and Seattle the fiiit week in March. Parents of the 62 members ol the high school orchestra held a meeting earlier this week and plans got underway within a mat ter of hours. Instead of "23-cents-ing the to'n to death." Mrs. Wells proposed the sound idea of a ham dinner at '.he high school cafeteria on Thursday. February 12. In addition to an ex cellent dinner, the dinners will hear the orchestra play dinner music and be able to see the youngslers in action. Mr. and Mrs. Wells and their daughter, Janice, came to Klam alh Falls from Great Falls, Mon tana, last year and all three are p:.rticipating in school, civic and social activities in their new home town. I Mrs. Wells has an excellent com mittee and they arc going to ncd the help of Ihe entire community to raise some fifteen or sixteen hundred dollars to send the or chestra on Ibis trip. If is a signal honor for our high school orchestra to be invited 'o participate in the district Music Educators Conference and Work shop on March 7 in Seattle. A morning concert on that day will be given at a Seattle high school On March 5, the orchestra will play an 11 a.m. concert on the Pacific University conference campus at Forest Grove. Arrange ments were made by Daniel Pres ton of Ihe college music depart ment who is a long-time friend of Director M. Dale Hallack, KUHS orchestra director. We're all proud of our young sters and the fine reputation our high school orchestra has earned. Getting behind this project is a good way lo show the teen-agers we are for them one hundred per cent. 1 IItll.slOII4' I'lafo By HAL BOYLE NEW YOI1K (API- Curbstoic comments of a Pavement Plalo The one thing the rest of 'he world feels surest of about the average American Is this: That material success is his god. And the rest of the world couldn't be wronger. Great material success is ad mired rather than worshipped by the average American just as he admires achievement in any form, whether it be in the art of home run knocking or hula hooping. He even has a sneaking admiration for a successful bank robber so long as the fellow doesn't spill blood. But .material success isn't the major goal o( the average Ameri can. It is only one of his major daydreams. But he doesn't want It bad enough to make his dream come true. Take yourself, as an average American. Why aren't you a suc cess? You probably can't, wilh hon esty, put the blame on late, your boss or your wile. You can't even blame it on Ihe fact you were born dumb and never outgrew il. The chances are you aren't a big suc cess simply because it isn't worth while to you. There simply are other things more important lo you. In my work as a reporter 1 have interviewed perhaps 2.000 "successful" ptople over the last quarter century. Asked the reason for their success, about 99 out U 100 gave the same answer: "Hard work." The hundredth person would credit it to "getting the breaks," or admit, off Ihe cuff, he inherited success or married into it. Many successful people I have met have lacked the charm, per sonality and even the talent I have found among other men so spectacularly unsuccessful they couldn't buy their way into the city dump. They aren't nearly as much fun' to he with. One dillercnce between the suc cessful man and the average man is obvious. The average man has credit. The successlul man his credit plus something else it is called money. But there are other diltercnces The big one lies in how they u- o their, energy. The successful man controls his energy and directs il to a single aim the winning of success. Everything else is sec ondary. The average man isn't that single-minded. Does (lie successful nan him self regret the price he had to pay to got where he Is? Often he do-s in a very wistful human way. But there is a limit to his regret. The average man sometimes likes to boast he wouldn't trade plicei with the most successlul Entered u second class matter it the post office at Klamath Falls.

WILSON WASHINGTON (UPIi - Take another look at the civil rights bill proposed by Sen. Lyndon B. Johason D-Tex.) before writing it off as a phony. Americans for Democratic Ac tion (ADA), the lefty heir of FDR's New Deal, would so write it off. ADA called the civil rights proposal "a typical Johnson com promise, scratching the surface of the civil rights problem and care fully refraining from digging down to its heart school segregation. ADA. northern Democrats in general and the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People (NAACP) apparently want a Congressional endorsement of the Supreme Court's ruling against school segregation. Some of those opposing segregation pro bably would prefer Congressional action to enforce desegregatin of Southern schools. The implication of that preference is that deseg regation should be enforced throughout the South as in Little Rock by the armed forces of the United States. It is a fact that Johnson's four- point bill avoids direct approach to the immediate problem of schooling white and Negro chil dren together. Assuming that there is a valid argument against Congress attempting to deal di rectly with the school problem, it probably would be this: That both time and patience reasonably could be expected to help toward a solution of the great social and educational crisis now confronting Southern states That direct Congressional in tervention, especially with enforc ing legislation, would reduce greatly the opportunity of either lime or patience lo heal raw wounds. Not just around the corner, but far down the road there ' appears to be one decisive, home-grown solution to the South's problem of racial integration of its schools. That solution would be peaceful integration of schools in the South under conditions pretty much con forming to the state's rights point of view of even the most extrem ist of southern segregationists. Given time and patience this could and may come to pass by reason of increased political ac tivity of Southern Negroes. The Negro vote already is a political powerhouse in the Northern states. Southern Negroes are more numerous actually and pro portionately than are Negroes in the North. But Ihey don't vote much. Disinterest, disenfranchisement and one thing and another have so retarded voting by Southern Negroes that they have had little political impact. That situation began to change some time ago. and the change continues at an increased pace. The federal civil rights bill of 1957 was intended lo speed the change already under way. The NAACP is campaigning lo register 3 million Southern Ne groes before Ihe 1960 presidential election. Registration in 1956 was about 1.300.000. There are enough Negroes in the South to put the segregation problem far toward solution if they would and could register and vole. This sort of solulion was suggested by Presi dent Eisenhower last week in a National Press Club speech. The fourth section of the proposed Johnson civil rights bill would help bring that about. The section would give the Jus SHORT RIBS i - ; - US- GRRRRR ) fSTT( t-XO. T H tice Department instant sub poena to obtain all registration and other records needed to pre pare voting-rights cases. Perhaps Southern Negroes will vote them selves into white schools. Ocil It. !) Mille By BOB THOMAS AP Movie-TV Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) The rea son for Cecil B. De Mille's success as a maker of stirring film dramas? Perhaps because life itself was an adventure for him. Jesse Lasky recalled when they were producing vaudeville sketches in New York. De Milie told him at lunch one day that he was getting restless and wanted to go to Mexico to get into the rev olution and perhaps write about it. Lasky didn't want to lose his best friend. He seized- upon the suggestion of his brother-in-law, Samuel Goldwyn. Said Lasky: "If you want adventure, I've got an even better idea let's make sorre movies!" So De Mille set out for the West wiBi his hardy band of movie pio neers to make "The Squaw Man." This adventure was not merely in trailblazing a new form of en tertainment. The trio were up against tough opponents. '"We were just little in dependents bucking the trusts." De Mille recalled recently. "We had $20,000 tied up, and that was our all. It occurred to me that if we had a fire, we might lose all the film I was shooting so 1 look to shooting every scene twice. I'd sneak home one negative and put it in the attic. There was no fire, but the trust" found a lot of ways to sabotage the little company, De- Mille said, and when the picture was done, less than half the film was usable. 'But they didn't know about the second Jakes. I spirited them out of the house, cut the picture on a train headed East, dropped off at Philadelphia, and had prints made. "The Squaw Man" cost $15,500, grossed $255,000, and De Mille be came a top director. But the out break of World War I found him restless again. I wanted to get into the war, but I was told I was too old," he said. "I went to an air base in the Midwest, and they told me they would take fliers of any age. So'I learned to fly." For $5,000 he bought a Jenny from the widow of a flier who liad been killed in it in Canada. But by the time he had learned to fly, the war was over. ' He formed the Mercury Aviation Co. in 1919 with 12 planes, includ ing two German Junkers flown to California by Eddie Rickenbackcr. Eventually he had to chose between aviation and movies and settled on the latter. De Mille always brought adven ture to his job as director. An actor balked at having Jean Arthur flick a gun from his hand wilh a bullwhip in "The Plains man." De Mille took a severe lashing on his own arm until the actress improved her aim enough for the actor to risk it. In his 70s he went to Egvpt 'o film his greatest crowd scenes 25.000 followers of Moses fleeing the Pharaoh in "The Ten Com mandments." Despite a heart at tack he insisted on finishing the picture which was to be his monu ment.

Yet the liberals' failures can't he dismissed as something abso lute. They didn't lose entirely. They are an active and vocal force, even if very often they miss achieving their goals. They make their presence felt and have an inlluence on events. But those post-November elec tion predictions, when Democrats swamped Republicans, didn't come off. Then it was thought new blood and more liberal men would be a big pain to the con servative leaders of Congress. These were the four liberal bumps on the head: No. 1, first target for the bloc of Democrats and Republicans bearing the liberal label was the Senate rule which made it almost impossible to break a filibuster the talkfest Southern Democrats traditionally relied on to stop a civil rights bill. Under this rule debate couldn't be stopped unless a constitutional two thirds of the Senate 66 of the 98 members voted to do it. With Sen. Paul Douglas (D-111) leading the charge, the liberals set out to change this rule. Douglas proposed that a simple majority of the Senate 50 of the 98 members be enough to stop a filibuster. Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, leader of the Senate Democrats, called Doug las hand. He let the Douglas proposal come to a vote at a time when there was no filibuster to over come and the result was a staggering 67-28 against letting a majority of Ihe Senate stop a fili buster. Yet in the end the rule was changed just a little. Under John son's guidance the Senate changed the rule to require hereafter a simple two thirds of those present at voting time. No. 2. A group of Senate Repub lican liberals tried to get one of themselves chosen leader of Sen ate Republicans. They wanted to keep a conservative like Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois from getting the job. ;, So alt 34 of the Senate Repub licans voted. The liberals were outnumbered. The majority picked Dirksen. But the liberals here, too, got a concession. One of their number, Sen. Thomas Kuchel of California, was named assistant leader. No. 3. Once again the liberal Senate Republicans made a try. This was to keep the highly con servative Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona from being chosen chair man of the Senate Republican Campaign Committee. Again they lost. A majority picked Goldwater who frankly says he is so conservative that "I'm even a stronger conservative than people think I am." No. 4. On the House side a batch of liberal Democrats and Republicans made noises about something they wanted. They wanted changes made in or about the House Rules Committee whose Democratic and Republican mem bership is highly conservative. This is one of the most power ful committees in Congress and can pretty well prevent legislation from coming out for a full House vote when the members don't like it. But this minor liberal revolt wns squelched under the persuasion of Sam Rayburn, speaker of the House and boss of the Democrats. He reportedly assured the liber als, however, that he'd personally see to it that no worthwhile legis lation gets buried in the Rules Committee. t Juol OS United Press International HOLLYWOOD Hedy Lamarr in filing suit lor $51,000 from her estranged husband, W.

The witnesses included spokes men for the National Housing Con ference, the AFL-CIO, Americans for Democratic Action, American Institute of Architects, and others who have called for bigger pro grams than President Eisenhow er has asked. Sen. John Sparkman (D-Ala). presiding over Senate hearings on the hotly disputed program, pre dicted that a one-package housing hill far broader and more costly than Eisenhower wants will be passed by Congress before the end of February. The Democrats, with command ing majorities in both Senate and House, are driving for a swift pas sage of a comprehensive housing program in a single bill. It would contain money and authority the President describes as urgently needed to keep some housing activities alive, plus many other items he believes should be cut or otherwise amended drastically. tisennower has demanded a hold-down on federal spending to achieve a balanced budget. Norman P. Mason, federal hous ing administrator, and other ad ministration spokesmen appealed ihursday tor action now on em ergency needs, with less urgent matters to be considered later. They called for quick action on a Dill to provide 100 million dot lars of new money for urban re newal grants, 200 million dollars for college housing loans, and an UU Lzi U U mm Mi and you're invited!

Mason and the others all advo cated a separate bill to handle long range urban renewal and other problems, which presumably would . simplify the President's task in deciding whether to sign or veto such a measure. Sparkman told reporters he sees no likelihood that the Senate Bank ing Committee conducting the hearings would adopt the two-bill approach. He said he feels an omnibus bill would be readv for Senate consideration by Feb. 2. "I see no reason why it couldn't go to the White House in the month of February," he added. Charles E. Slusser. public hous ing administrator, sharply criti cized many features of housing bills drafted by Sparkman and sen. Joseph P. Clark (D-Pa) as rivals to the administration pro gram. He said they are full of loopholes, and would be subject to fraud and other abuses., Clark replied that "in my judg ment the Public Housing Admin istration Agency has gone almost mad" in determination to have its way. i Hans Christian Andersen, Danish writer of fairy tales, died in 1875.

CHEVROLET St. By Jimmy Hatlo - Senators Ask Ratification SALEM (AP) Two .Democratic state senators are asking the Ore gon Legislature to make anotner try to ratify the 15th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That amendment grants the right of citizens to vote, regard less of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It was ratilied March 30, 1870. Seven months later, the Oregon Legislature voted against ratifica tion. During that period, Oregon had many Southern sympathizers, plus large Chinese and Indian popu tions. The sponsors of the resolution to ratily are Sens. William A. Grenfell, Portland, and Monroe Sweetland, Milwaukie. They said that 30 other legislators are co sponsors. . "Ratification of the amendment is particularly important at this time," Grenfell said, "as it will lend support to those persons in the South who feel it is time we accept people as people. It is time Oregon accepts her rightful role in the Union and it is ap propriate in our Centennial year " PHOTO FINISHING 8 Jumbo Size Prinri Only Western 32 Thrift 7th & Main JANUARY 22 - 23 v,;.T' T"iw.if III t I m READY NOW FOR PROMPT DELIVERY!
