These exploding atoms, called radioisotopes already are per forming wonders lor science, in dustry, medicine, and agricul tnre. The AICC has launched an "isotope development program' to make them do even more. Radioisotopes are plentiful and becoming more so. The AEC manufactures some. Others it plucks out of the vast quantities of "hot waste" from its nuclear reactors. Because they emit easily de tectable rays, they lend them- Kpk'M tn A hnct nf licitc in nvprv. thirig from thickness gauges to process controls in automatic fac tories. For example, consider the; atomic fire alarm. It consists of a chamber containing air made electrically conducting by rays irom a tiny Batch or disintegrat Ing atoms. Says the AEC: "It will sound an alarm It smoke enters the chamber since this alters the electrical charac terislics of the air and upsets a oniancca circuit. For both medicine and industry radioisotopes provide compact sources 01 intense radiation simi lar to X-rays. For hundreds of uses, exlremp. Iy small quantities suffice.

There was no dissension over the change from a three unit plan which1 would have placed Fort Rock and Silver Lake in a sepa rate district. The revision was made by the committee following a January meeting attended by D. W. Patch, state director of reorganization. At that time the committee feeling Was that a nlan with Ihirrf die. trict would be rejected since the Lumber Firms Deny Charge WASHINGTON (AP)-Two west coast- lumber companies asked the Federal Trade Commission Friday for dismissal of charges that they have an illegal inter locking directorate. The Rooth-Kelly Lumber Co of Springfield, Ore., and the Michigan-California Lumber Co. of Ca mino, Calif, denied the charge made by the FTC last Dec. 15. The two lumber companies de nied competing with each other in violation of the Clayton Anti trust Act which forbids any per son to hold directorships In two competing companies, one of which has assets of more than one million dollars. The FTO charged the two com panies competed in scling fir and cedar lumber. gjohn W. nindgett Jr. is a di rector of both companies and president of the Michigan-California firm. Minister Wins Assembly Post ALTURAS The Rev. C. Clifford Catledge, the presbyter of the As semblies of God in Modoc and Shasta counties, was one of the featured speakers at the S-ura-mento Sectional Fellowship mat ing held in Redding. The Rev. Mr. Catledge. pastor of the Assemblies of God Church in Altttras, will he succeeded by the Rev. Edwin Cole, pastor of the Assemblies nf God Church in Chi co, elected at the meeting.

This tiny amount emits as much radiation as 6'4 pounds of radium and there is only about 44 pounds of refined radium in the world. The AEC estimates the value of industrial use of radioisotopes at about U50.aoo.ooo a year and predicts this figure will rise to $1,000,000,000 soon. The AEC said Saturday in its semiannual report that It dis tributed 22(1.000 curies of radio isotopes last year compared with 166,000 the year before. Since it started its isotope program in 1946 it has shipped more than 600.000 curies. The curie is a measure of radioactivity the activity of one gram of radium. This means that the artificially-produced ra dioisotopes dispensed by the AEC in the past 13 years were com parable in activity to 14,520 pounds of radium. ' The sensitivity of radioisotope tools is fantastic. The AEC re ported a new gadget that can measure the thickness of silver plating to an accuracy of a hundred-thousandth of an inch. By developing ways of separat ing useful radioisotopes from re actor wastes the AEC has been able to bring some prices down to 10 per cent of what they were. The commission is looking for even cheaper production. Underground atomic explosions may provide it. Materials lining the shot chamber would be made radioactive by the explosion. The AEC hopes to test this theory with an experimental ex plosion deep in a new Mexican salt bed some time in the fiscal year starting July 1. law provides for classes for grades one throuch 12 In panh flrlminic. trative unit.

African Racial Policy Author Dies Of Stroke CAPETOWN (API - Dr. Daniel p. Malan, author of much of South Africa s racial policy, died aaiuroay alter suttenng a stroke. The 84-year-old former editor and clergyman, who was the na Hon s prime minister from W48 to 1054, defied worldwide condemna tion to enforce a oolicv of anar !heid lhat he insisted was the traditional policy of South Africa since the first Dutch settlers ar rived m Capetown. Dr. Malan. as the dominating voice lor Afrikaner nationalism was a controversial figure during his long political career. Critics accused him at times of attempt ing to become a dictator after he rose to power in 1948. He opposed South Africa's entry into the second World War and in 1942 moved unsuccessfully in Par liament to withdraw the nation from the conflict. In attemnting to define anar- thcid, Malan said that white South Africans had maintained their racial identity among overwhelm ing majority of nonwhites for 200 years and were not prepared to surrender it. He said the color consciousness of South Africa arose from the contrast between two irreconcil able ways of life those of bar barism and the civilization of heathenism and Christian tv. "There is no parallel for the sown Alrican record of nonexter mination, nonmiscegenation, and nonassimilation but of preaching practicing Christianity with, the mention oi racial identity and mutual respcci, ne said.

Democracy By CHARLES STAFFORD AP Nfwifeaturn Writer Constitutional government Is slowly stamping out one-man rule in Latin America. Dictatorship has become perilous. When Gen. Fulgencio Batista i ru jiuiii cum jii iiig cuii nuuia of 1959. he became the seventh dictator in five years to be tossed out of office by revolution or as sassination. Only three are left: Gen? Alfredo Stroessner in Paraguay, Generalis simo Rafael Trujillo of the Do minican Republic, and Luis Somoza in Nicaragua. The dictator toll reads like this: June 30. 1954: A 12-day civil war in Guatemala ended with the Ilight of strong-man Jacobo Ar benz Guzman. September 19, 1955: Dictator- president Juan Peron was ousted in Argentina after a brief revolt. September ZJ, 1956: Gen. Anas- tasio Somoza, dictator-president of Nicaragua, died of wounds re ceived at the hands of an assas sin. December 12, 1956: Paul E. Magloire, Haiti's strong man, was kicked out after trying to retain the presidency beyond the time specified in the country's constitu tion. May 10, 1957: Gustavo R o j a s Pinilla, dictator-president of Co lombia, was forced out of office by a revolt. July 27, 1957: Carlos Castillo Armas, Guzman's successor as Guatemalan president, was assas sinated. Though not a confirmed dictator, Castillo Armas was run ning his country with a firm hand. Jan. 22, 1958: Marcos Perez Jim enez, dictator-president of Venezue la, was expelled by revolution. January 1, 1959: Batista fled in the face of Fidel Castro's advanc ing revolutionary forces. With the exception of Nicaragua and withholding judgment on Cuba, where the issue is still in doubt constitutional government has followed ouster of the dictator. This progress toward political maturity has not brought with it any automatic love of the Unit ed States, the "Colossus of the North."

They say it would be catastrophic lor nusiness. But it may be a losing battle tor tne iso.ooo storekeepers. City Hall estimates that it needs an extra 145 milion dollars to cope with a budget of - about two billion dollars for the 1959-60 fis cal year. Mayor Robert F. Wagner, a Democrat, has proposed that off- track betting be authorized, and taxed, to fill the gap. But such betting, at city-suoer vised places outside the horse race tracks, would require approval of the Republican-dominated Slate Legislature." And the solons have indicated they would turn thumbs down on moral grounds. In the face of that, the mayor has said that a sales tax increase appears to be the only feasible al ternative. The merchants have formed what they call the Anti-4 per cent Sales Tax Committee in hopes of blocking the increase. The com mittee is headed by Walter Hov- ing, chairman of Tiffany & Co., the jewelers, and president of Bon wit Teller, fashionable women s wear store. Hovmg contends the tax in crease would drive business to suburban counties bordering the city. The counties have numerous shopping centers. 9th and Pine ......,.,,-, ..jrrm,.,Wm,n1,, , ,,t ... 1 tesisiiy CJfcl .

Proposition to be voted on by Yreka citizens February 17. The vote was taken at a meeting of the board held on Monday eve ning. F ebruary 2. following a dis cussion on the pros and cons of the necessity for four extra class rooms for the Yreka elementary school system. Warren Tormey opened the dis cussion by citing the need for the extra classrooms this fall, saying that if Yreka did not get the extra rooms that it was possible that the kindergarten would have to be eliminated. He also stated in part that the use of a church building, which had been considered for class rooms, would not, if available, pass the fire marshal's rulings as it had only one entrance and exit. He further indicated that the use of the old high school build ings was not feasible, since he had information that the high school had received orders to be moved from those buildings at the end of the year. He also had under stood that the state had allocated funds for its destruction The directors agreed that there was a need for more room in ihe elementary system, but felt assis tance should not be asked through state aid programs, but should or ganize a junior high school dis trict. Also one question posed ws relative to how the citizen's com mittee figured there would ne an increase in kindergarten enroll ment, to which Tormey stated that figuures had been compiled, which showed that over an eight-year pe riod there was an average increase of 62 students. The discussion was concluded with acting chairman, Del PilPard calling for a secret ballot, wtveh was requested by some of tre members of the board, and he announced the results as bing eight yes, and three no.

Shop Smith's For Less SMITH AUTO SUPPLY 919 Klamath Phone TU 4-3188 WARDS EXCLUSIVE Washer-dryer The life of democracy south of the border depends, to a large ex tent, on the United States. A stable government does not follow auto matically the adoption of a consti tution. Argentina, for example, is near bankruptcy in the wake of Peron's leng rule. President Arturo Fron- dizi has ordered a two-year ausJ terity program. He has warned that many of the 1,800,000 govern ment workers out of a total pop ulation of 20 million will lose their jobs and meat will be scarce while cattle herds are being rebuilt. In an effort to help, the United States has granted Argentina 329 million dollars in economic aid. But this may not prevent the fall of the Frondizi government. for labor unions still loyal to ex- dictator Peron plague the nation with strikes. Other governments also are in trouble. Haiti, stricken with pov erty, is moving toward dictator ship. In an effort to strengthen the economy, the Haitian Congress granted the president near-dictatorial powers. In Venezuela and Colombia, new democratic governments are op posed by the military. Thus far, however, the opposition has not been subversive. Inflation plagues the Brazilian government. And the Bolivian gov ernment has put down two revolts in the last year.
