The slamor of the goldrush days lives in verse and story. The Far North's bounty ot big game has been tested by numerous residents of the Klamath Basin and will be hv manv more. In addition, we all know individuals or families who have lived in Alaska or are living there now. Transportation to our new state can be by steamship, highway travel or air. A trip through the Inside Passage as far north as Juneau can be made during a two- week vacation period and the beau ty of the scenery is breath taking. Persons seeking business oppor- tunitirs in Alaska are advised to take a look at the area before moving up there, bag and baggage, lust in hopes. . The Portland Chamber of Com merce is sponsoring its tenth an nual air tour of Alaska this month with Baker Ferguson as commit tee chairman. The tour will leave Portland on Sunday, April 19 and return on April 30. The itinerary calls for stops at five major Alaskan business cen ters Fairbanks, Anchorage, Sitka, Juneau and Ketchikan. A special feature of this year's tour will be the scheduling of meet ings with key federal and state purchasing officers in Alaska. Luncheons, dinners and other sncclal meetings with Alaska busi ness leaders have been arranged In each of the five cities. The tour will be made entirely by way of scheduled airlines and reservations at the best hotels in each of the cities visited will be confirmed before the start of the trip. Weather is normally good along the Northern Coast this early in the year. Maybe the group also will meet our former Klamath district for est service ranger, Bob Cooper, who transferred to Alaska's cap! tal, last year,-- Fat Women By HAL BOYLE . NEW YORK (API-Did Helen of Troy diet? Did Cleopatra count her calories? We are stirred to these ques tlons by a letter from a reader with a problem. The letter: "Dear Sir: "Recently you wrote in defense of fat men. Well, what about fat women? - ' "My girl friends criticize me because, according to their stand ards, I am 40 pounds overweight But I feel fine and my husband tays he likes me the way I am. "Why do people laugh at fat ladies: What's so funny about them?" It was signed: "Fat Lady.' The answer, of course, is there Is nothing funny about fat ladles. , They are delightful. Those who laugh at fat ladies, like those who laugh at fat men, are envious idiots. They don't know what they are missing: You should laugh right back at them, fat lady. The present vogue for slender dames is only a passing passion a fad of the last quarter century. It was originated by beanpole male couturiers, many of whom hate women anyway and do thci best to make them look ridiculous, The natural man looks for an angle in everything in life except the ladies. But them he instinc tively prefers In the round. Tho Turkish sultans, noted con noisscurs in these matters, filled their harems with ladies who were living symbols of padded plenty. What about Helen of Troy? Does anyone think that a Greek, then or now, would launch a thousand (hips to go after a married gal who was built like a fence post And what about Cleopatra? It true that she herself rolled up Into a rug in order to get in to see Julius Caesar. But that doesn't argue she was thin. They had mlghly big carpets In Egypt in those days. And who have the most famous artists and sculptors preferred to Immortalize in paint and stone Chubby lasses, almost always. In the world of the arts from Venus dl Mllo to Kate Smith and Mary Margaret McBride the plump girls have been standouts.- A skinny dame has no more se crets than a goldfish. It is the plump dame who is a dimpled mystery and holds depths of un plumbed al: no. ' Let us admire fat ladies, leer at them or their girdle prob Irms. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln. God must have loved fat Tax Ilclurns By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API -Just how much of a looking over will the Internal Revenue Service give my income tax return for 1958? A lot of people may be wonder ing that, since the deadline for fil ing returns is Wednesday. This year, IRS says, there will be returns from around 60 million individuals, 975,000 corporations. and a million partnerships, plui million employment tax re turns, and 3 million returns on federal excise, alcohol and tobac co taxes. There will be .260 million documents involving those re turns. That's a lot of looking over for the 50,000 people employed by IRS in its nine regional, 64 district, and 900 branch offices. Of the SO, 000, about 15,500 are auditors but lot of the others are used in checking returns. . In the case of some of the big gest corporations, IRS. assigns three to five agents all year around because they have com plexitics never dreamed of by an Last year 2,841,000 returns in cluding 159,000 from corporations -were completely checked. This means more than just checking the arithmetic. A complete check means - auditors went over the books of corporations or the rec ords of individuals. This year about 30 million peo pie will have used the short-form 1040 because they made less than $10,000 in salary and fitted other requirements for using this sim ple return. These get looked over to see that the exemptions tally. But they can be run through electronic computer machines which not only can determine the tax but can figure out whether you overpaid or still owe some tax. All those reporting income over $10,000 not only 'get their arith metic checked but also get a go ing over by an experienced agent to see whether the return should be accepted or turned 'over to an auditor for deeper examination, The auditing can be done by calling in the taxpayer for a con ference or sending an agent made. But out of 60 million tax payers, IRS says, only about 1,000 lace criminal action each year. to his home or office to examine his records. The 2,841,000 returns au ditied last year brought the gov ernment an extra l'i billion dol lars. Last year IRS found 1,905,000 errors in making the simple arith metical check. Of that total, 1,245, 000 taxpayers had made errors in their own favor. IRS usually tries to get a delinquent taxpayer to die a return. If he doesn't, IRS can file it for him and then set out to collect. What happens if IRS audits your return and then decides you owe more tax? You arc notified but you can ap peal to IRS. First, through a conference with the agent who examined your re turn and with his supervisor. Then if you are still not convinced, with special technical advisers who work in IRS separately (rom the agents. If after all this you and the serv ice still don't agree, IRS will is sue what is called a statutory no tice this means within those 90 days you must appeal to the U.S. tax court or pay up Suppose you ignore the 90-day notice, don't appeal, and don't pay up. IRS presents you with a bill Then either you pay or IRS will try to collect by seizing your sal ary, your car. or other pos sessions. Last year IRS issued 73,000 slat ulory notices. But 66.000 peopl got them paid up within the !K-day limit. That led 7,000 to fight it out in court. In case of a downright evasion of tax a criminal charge can be Itcil Juveniles By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News Analyst "People's squads" are popping up in many areas of the Soviet Union particularly in the non- Russian republics to crack down on rising restiveness in the young er generation. A steady run of reports about youthful violence indicates the Communist party is having serious trouble keeping Soviet youth un der its collective thumb. The items hint of growing discontent with the central rule in Moscow, 'People's squads" are de scribed as groups of volunteer workers banded together for the protection of the social order. The squads are told to try persuasion on violators of the public order. If that doesn't work, the squads are to turn offenders over to the militia. ' A group of 60 such volunteers was set up in Tiflis, capital of Stalin's native province, Georgia, whose sturdy and independent- minded people long have been a source of trouble for Moscow. Groups of about 20 each have been set up in other towns. In, Yerevan, capital of Soviet Armenia, where Dep. Premier A Mikoyan was born, the party recently held a conference on maintenance of public order. Once again the establishment of public order" squads was an nounced. Party emissaries went to factories and enterprises to ex plain to workers why the squads are needed. In Turkmenistan's capital, Ash- kabad, whose central Asian peo ple are another minority under Great Russian rule, the party complains about "young drunken factory workers assaulting and insulting Soviet citizens in the street. A people's squad hauled a clutch of offenders off to . the local militia. These published Soviet reports tend to support rumors from cen tral Europe that the Russians are having trouble with their non-Rus sian republics. There are rumors ot a resurgence of nationalism in the republics, particularly in the Ukraine, a rich breadbasket for the U.S.S.R. where nationalism always has been strong. ported that in 19 years from 1940 through 1958, total state' tax col lections per person have tripled. The 1940 average was $25.44. The 1958 average was $87.95, a hike of $62.51 per head. That average man with a fam ily and a jalopy took a beating those years. The average of general sales taxes and gross re ceipts taxes which are passed di rectly to the consumer increased in 19 years from $3.83 to $16.61. Collections from motor fuels, mo tor vehicles and motor operator's licenses were up from $9.41 to $25.52. Taxpayers are cast this year in the role usually assigned to them. They are the interested but in nocent by-standers who have the most at stake in a blazing politi cal dispute about what shall be done with their money. President Eisenhower and Con gressional Democrats are the dis putants. During the 1938.. election campaign, Eisenhower tagged the Democrats as spenders not all of them, he says now but as spend ers whose easy way with the tax payers' -money was sure to keep the Treasury in the red and to increase inflation. This kind of dispute between Congress and the White House has been going on for years with the taxpayer in the middle. Only once in the past 25 years have a Presi dent and a Congress pulled to gether to cut government costs and to cut taxes. That joint ven ture took place in the first two years of the Eisenhower Adminis tration. Taxes came down and so did government spending. In the 1955 fiscal year Eisen hower spent $64.6 billions. That was the cheapest -Eisenhower year. Tax collections, however, were $4.2 billions- short of paying the government's hills. The U.S dollar reacted to that relatively good showing by reversing trend. It gained in value in 1955 by two-tenths of one per cent. Not much, but a gain.

WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD-This is a lough month for the average man with a family, a bqat-up jalopy and an income tax to pay. Taxes and tho high cost of liv ing cut up the average man into bits and pieces, like a jigsaw puz zle. The Tax Foundation, Inc., of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, did some sharp pencil fig uring and came up with the bad news. The average $4,50O-a-year man works 22 days a month, it re ported, and must whack up his income like this: Seven days, for taxes. Two days, for clothing. Four days, house and furni ture. Two days, transportation. One day, medical expense, One day, recreation. Four and one-half days, food. One-half day all that remains for riotous living or whatever. Tho tax bite is larger than it should be because, for one solid reason, government officials are tree with other people's money Other people's money comes easy and goes the same way. It makes small difference whether the gov ernment official is operating in Washington for the federal gov ernment or back home among the neighbors.

JORDAN, M.D. Occasionally during the past few years there have been seri ous outbreaks of a highly fatal diarrhea in newborn infants which has caused great trouble to the nurseries ot maternity hospitals. Attempts to find the cause have not been notably successful. It is probable that this kind of epidem ic diarrhea of infants is a virus infection, although one or more germs (bacterial are often pres ent. Usually, the infant who is strick en appears to be healthy and thriving. Suddenly the child be comes drowsy and if awakened ut ters a short weak cry. me tern perature is not usually high, gen erally being below 100 degrees, At about the- same time, or within a few hours, the baby be gins to have loose, watery, yel lowish bowel movements without any obvious mucus, blood or pus These watery movements come more and more frequently. Especially alarming is the rap id loss of weight in these tiny infants, which may be as much as a pound within the first day. (This is sometimes one-sixth the total weight.) After a brief period the baby shows signs of having insufficient fluid in the system and may took very ill indeed. In severe cases a baby may die from this disease within a day or two. As a rule the disease lasts about a week. Only about half recover. Children over four weeks old and grownups do not seem sus ceptible to this disease. But once a case develops in a nursery spreads rapidly to the infants in adjoining bassinets. Most of those who arc likely to catch the dis ease do so in from two to six days after exposure. When epidemic diarrhea breaks out in a hospital nursery, preven tive measures have to be begun at once. The babies who are well, but in the nursery at the time, also have to be isolated and observed closely for any signs of the dis ease. Visitors are rigidly exclud ed during such periods, not only from the babies who have be come ill. but also from those who were exposed. New babies must not be admitted to the nursery Treatment has been generally disappointing. There have been favorable reports from a few of the antibiotics, though most them seem to be Inciteclive. Apparently fewer epidemics of diarrhea of the newborn have been occurring lately than several years ago. but hospitals and health of ficials are constantly on guard against new outbreaks.
