"AGE 8 A HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY, JANUARY 30. 1953 FRANK JENKINS Editor ,. BILL JENKINS - Managing Editor FLOYD WYNNE City Editor MAURICE MILLER Circulation Mgr Ph. TU 4-4752 Oregon Fryers By FLORENCE JENKINS A public hearing was scheduled for this morning at Salem on the Oregon Fryer Labeling bill rc ccntly introduced in the state House of Representatives. The hearing was set by the Food and Dairy Committee of the House to which the bill was referred. The Oregon Fryer Commission has worked hard to obtain a favor able reception for the bill and has had the support of the broiler growers associations throughout the state, according to all reports. D. W. Stuart, Oregon Fryer Commission manager, recently stated publicly some of the argu ments in favor of requiring all fryers to be labeled. "In our highly competitive worid, it is imperative that a product be given all the distinction and identi fication that it is possible to at tain," he declared. "Without label ing, it is impossible to achieve this for our fryers, if we label our fry ers without requiring all other fry ers to be identified, we still have not attained a clear dis Unction because many people would still take it for granted that all the fryers in a display, whether labeled or not, were locally grown. ' He pointed out that production of broilers and fryers in Oregon decreased 3',i per cent from 1950 to 1938. Production figure for last year was 7,909,000 birds. At the same time, production in the state of Washington, which has a uniform labeling law, in creased 40.6 per cent in that same two-year period. "This means," he explained, "that Oregon growers lost approx- imately $168,378 in business while Washington growers gained ovcm tWt million in new business n the same period. Orcgonians consumed a total of 40.919,300 pounds of fryers and broilers in 1938, according to the commission's figures. If Oregon consumption were raised to the na tional average of 28.5 pounds per capita, it would mean $3,295,600 in new money to the broiler and fryer industry. Maybe It all goes back to the old slogan: "What Oregon makes, makes Oregon." lflniMN Slur By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)-lfs not true what I hey say about Japanese women.

February should see some uf them showing how much speed hey can pack. The stock market seems ready lor a testing.

Bankers and the nation's money managers are talking more about when and il interest rates wUl rise further How long living costs can be kept from going up again because stable food prices have olfset oth er expenses becomes a moot question. February may give an indica tion of what congressional spend ing may do to federal tax pros pects, and how much higher state and local taxes may go. Business also thinks that the course of international affairs may become clear shortly. The stock market has risen to new heights but has shown more and more cross currents, more susceptible to quick sinking spells and sudden hard-to-explain up ward surges. Professional . stock analysts are getting more cagey in their predictions. Money matters seem to be com ing to boil, too. The battles in Congress and in state .legislatures and in city councils over spend ing more and raising taxes will make most of the headlines on this subject in February. In financial circles there will be quieter discussions about tight money and easy money, about raising of interest rates once the upcoming Treasury refunding problems are out of the way, about a possible new onslaught of inflation. . In family circles there'll be de bates about what to do about the cost of living. Many families will find their taxes going up. These days taxes are just as much n cost of living as are the more lamiliar ones of food and clothing and shelter. Italian PoIliicN By United Press International The European usually professes a complete Inability to understanil American politics the verbal fireworks immediately preceding an election, and the comparative peace that descends after the de cision is reached. But for a real lesson in political science and for some really mixed-up politics, let's take a look at Italy which at the moment is in the hands of a caretaker government. In the Italian Chamber of Dep uties are approximately a . dozen political parties, ranging from ex treme left to extreme right. A strong and recognizable type are the . Communists. They are the second largest party in the Chamber of Deputies, but are not represented in the government. Another group is the Liberals. But, instead of leaning left as the name might imply, they are con servatives. Then there are the right-wing Socialists, who have participated in the government, and the left- wing Socialists who do not. These two originally were the same par ty, but split when the left formed an alignment with the Commu nists. In the center are the Christian Democrats. They have been the governing party since World War II. But they also are split be Iween right and left. In between the major parties are others such as the Monarch ists and Neo-Fascists, who have special Interests, but in general lean left, and still others who chiefly represent language differ ences inside the country Out of all these divisions have grown the present difficulties wherein weeks may pass before a new government is able to take SHORT RIBS JIVE ME ONf RiS:N WN Wc "NT LIVE OH Cv'B BC'WTi -i '?f'N fy-t lsy over and which may take years to solve. : Italy achieved a reputation for political stabilitv. and tied itself closely to the West, during the eignt years immediately following World War II, from 1945 to 1953. Then it was under the leadership of Alcide de Gasperi. Oe Gasperi ruled the Christian Democratic Partv with an iron hand and ran the government the same way, even though only once did he have an absolute majority in the Chamber of Deputies. It was De Gasneri. incidentally. who crushed the Communist threat to take over the Italian government in 1948. But In 1953 De Gasperi and the Christian Democrats made a mis take. They rammed through a law which gave 65 per cent of all seats in the Chamber of Deputies to the party winning 50.01 per cent of the votes in a general elec tion. In the fol owing election they lost. Shortly afterward. De Gasneri was forced to resign and a year later, died. From that dav forward, onlv uneasy coalitions ruled in Italy none with' the power really to rule and each able to last only a matter of months. The last one. headed bv Amin tore Fanfani. one of Italv's most astute politicians, fell last Mon day. . Hence the confusion. There art predictions that in subseauent shifts two entirely new political diocs may emerge both non Communist, one of them "con servative" and the other "nrn. gresslve." But they may be a long time in coming. Meanwhile, the Communists will be outside, waiting. Moll Response Ey ALBERT WW. McCULLOUGH United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) - Photog raphy teacher G. L. Penk is sorry if his mailman's back aches. Penk just didn't expect that a couple of 'letters he fired off -asking aid for his class would produce such tai' avalanche of mail from around the world.

I rather suspect the post office is not entirely happy about it, Penk said in estimating that mail men had lugged to his door more than 400 pounds of magazines and other first, second, fourth class, air mail and parcel post. Penk teaches 30 photography students. They needed more ma terials, and he asked photo maga zines (Modern Photography and U.S. Camera) in New York to re quest their readers to send him any back numbers they wanted to get rid of. Readers from America Russia, India to Scandinavia responded with a bewildering fer vor. "A firm in New York apparent ly cleaned house and dumped everything they no longer wanted into five boxes addressed to us. Penk reported.

Revolution By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Editor In March of last year, Fidel Castro, a man about whom the, outside world knew little, chewed thoughtfully on a cigar in a Cuban rebel retreat deep in Oriente Province's Sierra Maestre Moun tains. "Batista has made fools of the Cuban people for 17 years," he said. "They won't stand it any longer." He was speaking to Charles Schuman, a United Press Interna tional correspondent, who for 17 days nad lived and marched with the rebels, trying to learn what manner of man this was who be lieved that with 2,000 men he could overthrow a government which commanded an army of 25, 000 men, a police force of 7,000 plus a small navy and air force Even in Cuba, Castro's words attracted scant attention. The out side world paid no attention at all And so it was with a sense of complete unreality that the news burst on New Year's morning that President Fulgcncio Batista had fled and that Castro had won. Three weeks earlier, UPI's chief correspondent in Havana, Francis McCarthy, had come out of Ha- vanna to Miami in order to tele phone his New York office free ol Cuban government censorship The climactic moment, he said was near. But even veteran newsmen were unaware how far the crumbling process had gone inside the Ba tista ' regime. When McCarthy telephoned to New York the news of Batista's flight he still was wearing the tux edo in which he had welcomed in the new year. He was to continue to wear it for many hours longer. what had happened? Today, Batista's collapse is at tributed to four principal factors- rebel nerve, rebel bluff, demorali zation, of the regular army and economic pressures. Of rebel nerve and bluff there is no doubt. At Santi Spiritus in Oriente Province, 35 men firing firecrack er rockets so demoralized an army garrison of 700 men that the troops took a vote whether to fight, surrender or "retire." Thev chose the latter course. In the fi nal hours, eight men took over Cabana Fortress, whose guns dominate Havana. Four men took over Havana Airport and 90 men captured Cuban army ' headquar ters at Camp Columbia outside Havana, wherein there were 5,000 regulars. In the so-called decisive battle of Santa Clara at Cuba's narrow waist, it is now known that dead both sides totaled no more than about 70. But this is the battle which now is believed finally to have made up Batista's mind. Batista's chief reliance always had been upon the army and his police force. In the pre-dawn hours at his refuge inside Camp Columbia, Ba tista realized the army was fall ing apart around him. In addition, there had developed enormous economic pressures. Harvest time was near for ths sugar crop, Cuba's chief economic crop. But a great portion of this crop lay at the mercy of Castro's hit-run raiders. In Havana, tourist trade had been reduced to a trickle. Now Castro's "26th of July" movement rules Cuba. The move ment takes its name from Cas tro's first armed attack against Batista forces. It was an abortive attack on the Moncada Barracks in Santiago on July 26, 1953. in which about 100 students and sol diers died and for which Castro went to prison.
