WYNNE Apparently the plan to establish a youlh camp at the former prison camp at Newell hit the snag of government possesslveness that has dogged taxpayers in recent years. The camp has been on a standby basis ever since the end of World War II. It was equipped with everything necessary to put it back into operation, including bunks, cooking utensils, refriger ator space, barracks, and all else needed. The California counties of Shas ta, Siskiyou, Tehama, Modoc and Butte had contemplated using the prison camp as a youth camp, af ter it was suggested by supervisor Earl Agar that the camp be used for this purpose.. . He stated that It would result In a considerable saving of tax payers money. A telephone call to the warden of McNeil Island penitentiary re vealed that the Bureau of P ris ons leased the area from the Bu reau of Reclamation, and that their lease would expire on June 30. However, typical of government bureaus, the Bureau of Prisons now has plans to strip the camp before leaving it. They plan to dismantle the camp taking all moveable properly, thus making Its use impossible for the Califor nia counties. The camp would have been used to house boys 15 to 18 who have been involved only in misdemean ors, rather than committing them to reformatories. There appeared to be objections to the establishment of the camp from Newell sources. Bu objections or n o I,, it ap pears that the Bureau of Prisons could have saved the taxpayers ol California some money by agree ing to turn over the camp intact to the five county group rather than going to considerable expense to strip the camp, leaving only the buildings to stand as a ghost camp. . Also, while we're on the subject, It would have seemed possible when the migrant housing short age was so acute the past sev eral years that the Bureau of Pris ons could have authorized tho use of this camp which was complete with beds and all else. ' Instead, while workers and their families struggled to find places to live out of the weather and existed In the most miserable of conditions, the camp stood Idly by, on a standby basis, and re fused to open its doors to any one. This Newell camp thing is a typical example of a government al agency possessing something which they are going to hold on to regardless of the need of people or the amount of extra taxpayers money it might lake to replace it, merely because they consider it as belonging to (hem. It doesn'tl It belongs to the people who pay Iho tnxes lo make that government go. It's time gov ernment became aware of these things and became more respon sive to the will of the people, in stead of trying to bend the people to the will of the government. The five counties have until Juno 30 to locale a camp site to qual ify for a budgeted $G0,tWO by the California Youth Authority.- Several other sites aro under consideration, and another site will probably be approved, but Ihe ac tions of tho Bureau of Prisons in reference to the Newell prison camp is certainly a questionable move in my opinion, and the interests of Ihe taxpayer could have been much better served by turning tho camp intact over to the five county group. Street eateries.) All the friendliness at Red Bluff isn't strictly local, however. Standing at the foot of the grandstand one year with the very dignified and poised wife of a leading Oregon and California cat tleman, we were amused to sec a Chiloquin resident step up to her. doff his hat in the lightly falling rain, and ask her to save him a dance at the street dance that night. It's a great crowd and a grand show. It's so great, in fact, that the Palomino Room substitutes pa- per cups for their regular bar glasses for that weekend.

The fertile field for rockhounds lies in Ne vada, not far from hero. The auth or is much closer. The story and four photographs were the work of Don Kettler, Herald and News photographer. Sen. Richard Neuberger contin ues a prolific writing career on the side. This month's issue of Harper's contains Neubcrger's ac count of the Klamath Reservation termination story. He calls it. "How Oregon Saved A Forest." Neuberger also is responsible for a tribute to the late Gene Favell of Lakeview that appeared in the Congressional Record on March 18. The senator lauded Fa- veil for his work on the Klamath termination. Not- printed, but written any way, is news from Chief of Po lice Charlie Howard, now at the FBI Police Academy in Washing ton.

(We've beard criticism lately from North- iuiihiliiiioii By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) In i world where death and devasta tion could strike in a few minutes, you might like to see what stands between you and possible annihi lation by the Soviets. The following picture was out lined by Gen. Thomas S. Power, who talks with the detachment of a surgeon explaining how to open an avenue into the heart. Power Is chief of the Strategic Air Command whose long-range bombers and nuclear bombs, at bases here and abroad, have a double mission: to discourage an attack or, if the Soviets try it, to eliminate them. The general emphasized the im portance of an early warning of a Soviet attack to a congressional committee with this little clinical example about his bomber base at Thulc, in northern Greenland. "I like lo tell the commander at Thulc that he will probably be one of the first to go if wo get into a war but that there Is one thing I would like to know from him, and that Is when he went. This might be vital intelligence." Power commands not only the strategic bombers but Ihe inter continental ballistic missiles that this country will produce. For some lime American ICBMs will be under a handicap. They will be liquid fueled, need large crews, and have to be anchored In one place. Once the Soviets know where they arc, and war starts, they could be de stroyed before Ihey got off the ground. Power's solution: bury Ihe mis siles deep in Ihe ground in con-1 Crete shelters which would resist everything except a direct hit. Power sounded happier talking about Ihe more distant future and Ihe solid-fueled ICBM. the Min uteman, which needs only a small crew, could be mass-produced, and can be moved around. It doesn't have to be anchored. The general envisioned Ihe day when the Minutemen, in bunches, could be shipped around on trains, moving constantly, so the Soviets could never know where to shoot at them. He emphasized two things: that this country right now must de pend on radar for its early warn ing and on its six-jet B47 bombers lo discourage a Soviet attack and hit back if one comes. Later there will be the ICBMs, too. But Power cannot be described as completely happy about radar. "Hadar," he said, "is a real fine device. The only trouble with it is that it sees too well. It sees things that are not there. This raises a problem. Whether or not what the radar sees is real, a man in command of bombers must assume they are real. He gave an example of what he meant. Suppose the radar men called him and said their screens had picked up 1.000 objects heading for the United States and that they were missiles. Instantly, ne could order his planes into Ihe air and away. Between the time they took off and were getting near their target he would have perhaps one hour and a half to learn for sure whether those blips on the radar screen were really Soviet missiles. If it turned out radar had seen something else besides Soviet bombers or missiles, Power would still have time to call back, his bombers. They . wouldn't attack unless he said so. But suppose radar picked uo those 1,000 objects which were thought to be Soviet missiles and the general wanted to hit back with American missiles. He couldn't push the button sending tnem on their way. The reason: once on their way, they couldn't be called back. He would have to refrain from turn ing the American missiles loose until he knew for sure this coun try was under attack. The Lighter Side By FRANK ELEAZEH United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee met in solemn session to consider a new treaty of friendship with Muscat and Oman. It gives me pause to think how close I came to missing the hearing. Luckily I decided against a com peting session of the Senate Space Committee. Now if anybody ever asks me what ihe Louisiana lot tery was, and how it would have moved to North Dakota except for a dead man, I'm ready. Otherwise the hearing was a lit tle confusing. Sen. Alexander Wiley set the lone with his opening inquiry on the. treaty ofjriendship with Mus cat and Oman. I'm in favor of It, of course," the Republican from Chippewa Falls, Wis,, assured the State De partment witness. "But you might tell us in general where these lit tle countries are." This turned out to he what is known as a very good question, and it probably is just as well Wiley said a reply "in general" was all he wanted. W. T. M. Beale, the deputy as sistant secretary of state or eco nomic affairs, located the area lor the committee with no trouble at all. It is on the southeast coast of Ihe Arabian Peninsula, right there by Saudi Arabia. But the committee's big wall map of the world didn't seem lo show much on Ihe subject, so special map of the Middle East was erected. And it said of Mus cat and Oman, "Boundaries this area are undetermined." Beale also suggested tactfully that Muscat ar.d Oman weren really two countries, exactly, but more like one, although he said some of the folks in Oman, who revolted a few years ago, may not go along with this view. Muscat is the big city and Oman the rest of the country, sort of, it developed. Only Muscat really is two cities, one of them Muscat and the other named Matrah. Chairman J. William Fulbright D-Ark.) finally said it's one country, all right, and that the whole thing is simple. "It's the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman," he explained after wards to 1J.S. newsmen. "It ruled by tne sultan. Of course there is also the Imam of Oman and the relationship between the Sultanate and the Imamate is a little well, I'm sure you don'l care aDoui mat. Happily, everybody seemed to favor friendship with Muscat and Oman, and no doubt the treaty with this country (or these coun tries) will be ratified just as soon as the State Department sends up a little more clarifying material. Meantime the committee had time to consider the nomination of Carl W. Strom as ambassa dor to Bolivia. In addition to his other qualifications Strom turned out to have been a Rhodes schol ar with Fulbright at Oxford "There it goes again," snorted Wiley at this disclosure. "It's all set up!" The Sen. William Langer (R N.D.) ascertained that Strom's father-in-law served in North Dako ta's first legislature, along witn Langer s father. "How did he vote on the Louisi ana lottery?" Langer demanded, suspiciously. He voted against it," said Strom, thereby sewing up com mittee approval of his., nomina tion. . ' Langer, whose dad also opposed the lottery, said a fellow -from New York made a fortune run ning it but was squeezed out of Louisiana about 1890 and tried to move the business to North Da kola. Lottery backers finally mus tered a one-vote majority to let him come in but at the crucial moment one pro-lottery member died. So did the lottery bill. "Did he die a natural death? inquired Fulbright. "He did, Langer replied. oo tne nomination was i proved, by unanimous vote. ap- SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal WATCH He SHcarl ' THE PJWe CUT! mm 1 M- I 1 ' 1 1 MIWJ (uole.s United Press International WASHI.GTOX-The wife of for mer Rep.

By choosing to step up to the presidency instead of remaining chancellor until death or disability cut him down, Adenauer has al most certainly thwarted Soviet hopes that the end of his regime would be followed by a struggle for power, creating uncertainty and weakness in Bonn. 2. By electing to leave the chan cellorship, he has started clear ing the way for younger men with more agile minds to take a greater part in the development of Ger man policies. This probably means the intro duction of greater- flexibility into West Germany s attitude toward negotiations with the Soviet Union over the Berlin crisis and related problems, beginning with a foreign ministers conference May 11. ! Una ot .the first places where modifications of foreign policy may become apparent is in a meeting of U.S., British, French and West German diplomats in London beginning next Monday. following .up tne meetings of Western foreign ministers here last week, the four-power group has the task of putting into shane the proposals which the Western powers will present to the U.S.S.R. at the Geneva foreign ministers session next month. The West German government has been divided within its own ranks about the kind of proposals which the Western powers should make. In an earlier diplomatic confer ence in Paris last month, German representatives went along with inclusion of a confederation plan among the Western proposals for the Geneva conference. The idea was that a confederation of East and West Germany would consti tute one of the early stages in a tep by step program for reunifi cation. When Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brentano came here from Bonn for last week's meetings, however, he received orders from Adenauer to kill the confederation idea. Some who sat in the meet ings were not convinced that he agreed with his chief hut he harl no alternative. He spoke strongly for a very tough bargaining line with the Soviets and said confed eration involved too many risks for West Germany lu undertake. The inevitable shifting of politi cal forces inside the Bonn govern ment as a result of Adenauer's decision now nnens un Ihp nncci. bility the plan may be revived. Top American authorities ,say mat wnetner it is called confedera tion or something else il ic cpn. tial for an effective set of pro posals to introduce at Geneva.
