This time it's HB 661, authored by Representa tives Peck, Cook and Howard and Senator Jean Lewis, all of them hailing from Multnomah County (Portland), ' This bill, among other things, would prohibit the discharge of a firearm within one-fourth mile of any human habitation without first obtaining the consent of the occu' pant. Again it is one of those inno cent appearing . bills that could have far-reaching results. For instance: Suppose you are hunting in hilly country, observing all the rules and regulations, and jump a buck on the slope. You fire with the hHl as a background, perfectly safe, and find yourself in the toils of the law because down the opposite slope is a "human habitation" that you didn't know anything about. I assume that a "human habita tion" would be construed as s house, a house trailer, a tent even a hollow log. if someone was liv ing in it. Actually it is merely another bill to take the' gun out of the hands of the legitimate sportsman and make it easier for the crim inal element to arm its minions. It is, in this writer's opinion, .another short-sighted piece of leg islation cooked up by a group of politicians at the direct request of some minority group. Just what group 1 1 wouldn't know at the moment It could be any of the assorted sourballs who have tried for so long to rob the American people of. their inherent right to keep and bear arms. As far as safety considerations inherent in the bill they are so vague and far-fetched as to be ridiculous. The very wording of the bill precludes the possibility of rationality, much less worka bility. In this mobile age of ours "human habitations" can, move too fast for even a rifleman to keep up with. If these anti-gun nuts are all-fired rabid on the subject why don't they just come out in the open and say they believe that all guns should be taken away . from the public at large? Except- ing of course the police, the armed forces and the criminals. Another bad bill that we sin eerely hope will be defeated. , Three islands in the Snake Riv er have been turned over to the Oregon State Game Commission by Idaho Power Company. They are Patch, Porters and Hoffman islands and will be developed by the commission as public hunting areas. The state is to be congratulat ed on their expanding program of securing public hunting areas which are open to the ever in creasing hordes of gunners. What with more and more priv ate land going into private hunt ing preserves and the stepped up federal land withdrawals it is get ting to, be something of a chore to find a place to hunt. And it doesn't appear that it will become easier as time goes on and the population continues to skyrocket.

Publiri.v By FLORENCE JENKINS It was reported in The Journal's labor-management editor's column on Sunday from Portland that Life Magazine is going to feature the Klamath Falls local of tlio Tcam-stcrs-in a story covering that un ion's nationwide activities. Next report we had on this sur prising publicity was from some of the firms which had been visited and photographed here in 'own Apparently a photographer and reporter "team have toured this area and have departed for Los Angeles to mnkc a report. "Llfo choso Klamath Falls as be ing a good representative of small er locals in the giant Teamster Union," Stan Weber of The Journal reported, "It was a natural be cause Klamath Falls is a focal point for virtually all trucking on the Oregon-California run." It will be rather Interesting to see what comes out in print since the news team apparently asked relatively few questions to get background material. It would be a safe guess, too (hat those businessmen photo graphed will be pictured with sur prised looks on their faces. Along the line of trucking into California, the California Bureau of Plant Quarantine's last report showed March southbound traffic over Highway 97 to be up an es timated 10.1 per cent over March, 1958. This compares with an esti mated increase for Highway 99, for example, of only 3.3 per cent. Estimated increase in April over April, 1958, was set at 10.4 for our southbound route and the estimate for May showed a 1.9 per cent in crease over May last year. The figures show a total of 40, 000 vehicles entering California in March through the four plant quar antine stations, 42,743 in -April, 51,842 in May and 82,413 in June. The last three are estimated to tals. The "bug stations" suggest mul tiplying by two for an estimate of the total traffic. For Highway 97, that arithmetic would show that 28,404 persons would be southbound from Oregon into California through Klamath Falls and Dorris during the .current month. when we get our State of Jef ferson information bureau set up on this side of the state line we will be able to count them com ing this way. 2Vo i'umlidnle According to your paper's May 5 account . of th School Board election, I was a "write-in candi- date' opposing J.

Ymik Impressions By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (API-Are Ameri cans today afraid to speak out tlicir mind? The question Is raised by John Braine, one of Britain's brightest new literary talents. " Many British visitors in the past have complained that Americans, if anything, are too vocal about things they know llttlo about. Braine, after a two-week tour ranging from Boston to Chicago, said: "This seems to be a country where I don't hear people giving their opinions out loud about any Issues." ' It might be fear. It might be something else. I haven't been here long enough to tell," he. said. Braine, classified as one of Eng land's "angry young men," a la bel that he detests, is author of a best seller, the story of a working class lad on the make financially and socially. Here are a few other quick U.S. impressions by the 37-year-old author: "No one here seems to wear his hair longer than two inches which is a frightening thing. It is rather like being in an army camp. And all the little boys have their hair shaved as If for ring worm. There is nothing wrong with it. But why do they all have to do it? It is so uniform." Too much conformity of any kind seems sterile to Braine. a self-educated writer who had o quit school at 16. In 1951 he gave up a "good safe job" as a $28 a week librarian to try his luck as a writer. There, he recalled, he some SHORT RIBS VP BETTER P0 ' 1kM ( SSMSTWN ABOUT J times had to pavn his best pair of trousers to raise the price for a meal, but at least "I had ceased to remain a prisoner of my own timidity. Once you've been on your beam ends in a strange city, you're not frightened of anything after that. You may not get to be 'a very mature person, but you are your own master, he said. Braine is quietly proud of his working class origin. But as to being one of Britain's "angry young men," he said: "It s non sense. There is no s,uch group of iixe-minaea young writers at all, lie nopes, ne said, to build a whole fictional world around the life of his time. "I don't know how many books it will take. Because I don't know how long I'll live," he said. "I write slowly in longhand, and I write three drafts of each, book. To me the only reliable pleas ure is work. You are born to do your job. If you don't do it, you might as well be dead." White House IVolcs By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter WASHINGTON (UPI - Back stairs at the White House: Sir Winston Churchill's reputa tion as a frequent guest of Amer ican presidents was underlined subtly the other day when press secretary James C. Hagerty was giving reporters details on the cur rent visit of the former British Prime Minister. "He'll be staying in the Rose Room," Hagerty said, "that's the one he normally uses." American representatives of the French cognac industry shudder at the word that Sir Winston has cut down sharply on partak'ing of their favorite beverage. In fact, they paid no attention to such earthshaking Intelligence. They sent a half dozen bottles to the White House anyway, as an ar rival gift for the British leader. President Eisenhower was play ing golf at Gettysburg last week end and exercised the full pre rogatives of a chief executive. Hitting drives from the first tee, Eisenhower told 'his playing part ners, live made a new rule for Presidents. He gets a breakfast ball, a lunch ball and a banquet ball." Translated: A President can hit three option shots from the tee, then play the best one. As one golf purist observed from the sidelines, "The inflation is hit ting everything these days." Despite the fact that Churchill has been in frail health recently, no arrangements were made for a British doctor to stay with him at the White House this week, Asked if this didn't seem a bit unusual in view of the former prime minister s age, 84, and health, Jim Hagerty said, no, we have doctors here." Not much was said a year or so ago when the White House quietly decided that the President would not use the small three- place helicopter which the Air Force got for his short flights Eisenhower made only one trip in the small 'copter, then shifted to much larger craft that carry crew of three and six or more passengers. Here's why the shift was made: In the small helicopter, passen gers could not alight until the big overhead rotor came to stop, at least, not(with maximum security. It takes 'the big blades on this type of ship about two minutes to stop turning. The armed services and the Se cret Service decided this would be too long for a President to be sitting in full view. In a somewhat vulnerable plastic dome. By Frank O'Neal When the President leaves the White House by the southwest gate at the entrance to West Ex ecutive Avenue, crowds of tour ists this time of year are at tracted by early police prepara tions. Frequently the tourists gang up on the gate. For their safety, and the safety of the President, the White House police have painted a white line across the sidewalk about 15 or 20 feet fum the gate. When the tourists get too close, the police call out, "stand back of the white line, please." As a tourist said the other day, "It makes you feel right at home, just like you were on the bus.' German Imiiislry " By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst BONN (AP) Germany hopes to lower trade barriers with the United States still further as soon as possible even including the controversial 10 per cent levy on now unwanted American coal. It also plans to encourage a two-way flow of capital investment. These are the promises of Fi nance Minister Franz Etzel. Etzel also said in an interview that Germany's troubles with its part ners in the European economic union are "children's diseases of the common market" and are be ing worked out. Tax differences, subsidies and production practic es are being ironed out. Even the long-term goal of a common cur rency is capable of final solution "Germany shouldn't be a closed shop," Etzel said of trade with America. "It doesn't intend to fol low a protectionist policy. The tendency is all toward a liberal trade policy." But the trade gap with the Unit ed States still exists, although it is narrowing, largely thanks to American buying of German au- tos. West Germany imports more from America than it sells there, but its exports to the United States are growing. Germany's over-all trade, pic ture, however, is bright and grow ing brighter, with total exports outweighing total imports so that its gold reserves are impressive ly high. Japan and other indus trially developing countries are giving Germans their keenest competition now. , Before the coal and steel reces sion here last year Germany had freed 84 per cent of American -im ports from quota restrictions. Now 81 per cent of American trade is free leaving some 400 items under controls out of a total of 6,000. Most important still re stricted are textiles, plastics, chemicals, glass, ceramics and leather and the special case of American coal. Coal, steel and textiles are the problem children of German , in dustry today. The economy as a whole rose last year and is rising still higher, now. The finance minister said that despite the efforts to block Amer ican coal imports, cutting down on mining hours from 45 to 40 a week, and of the mining force of 480,000 by 30,000, Germany is still adding 30,000 tons to its stocks every day and now has 14 million tons in reserve. "If idleness continues in the coal industry," Etzel said, "there is always the danger of Commu nist infiltration among the job less." Quotes United Press International . NEW ORLEANS - Edward A. Hcrty Sr., on his 13-year-old grandson who stabbed one little girl to death and slashed an other: "I don't understand this thing. His father took him everywhere with him to ball games and everything. He's so- polite, so good." LONDON David J. Muir, agent for an Australian art gal lery, who paid the record sum of $154,000 for a painting by Pi casso at a London auction: 'When the bidding reached 30,- 000 pounds ($84,000) on the Picas so, I began to quiver. And when it mounted to 50.000 pounds ($140,- 000), I was really sweating. But I was determined to get it." CHICAGO Ex-Communist Ne gro union leader John f. Hack- eny, saying it is untrue that the Communists fight for Negro rights: "They used the grievances of the Negro people for the purpose of building the party. In many eases they destroyed Negro lead ers who didn't serve the party."

Moscow, which earlier this year virtually ruled out a summit con ference in the United States, ap pears to have reversed its posi tion. Soviet diplomats let it be known with unconcealed enthusiasm that Russia would be ready to approve a San Francisco meeting with the leaders of the United States, Brit ain and France. Russia prefers the California city to New York or Washinston. and considers Vienna rather than Geneva as a possible . alternative meeting place in Europe, the sources said. The Russians regard July or early September as the most like ly dates for the summit session.

Blasts Rip Coal Town JELLICON, Tenn. (AP) - Two explosions in the .business dis trict of this coal town on the Ken- - tucky state line shattered two coal tipples in the Louisville & Nash ville ' railroad yards early today. The tipples and coal were set afire, but no i n j u r ies were reported. It was the latest of several in cidents of violence reported since a strike of United Mine Workers members has idled much of the east Tennessee coal industry. Police said, however, that they had no clues to the identity of the person who set the blasts, and saw no one at the scene. The blasts came less than 24 hours after . 11 rifle shots were fired from ambush at a strip coal mine near here. Nobody was wounded. John Deal, operator of the strip mine, said the shots were fired at him and- four workmen, who' ducked into a large iron bucket on a power shovel. The mine is near Habersham near the Kentucky state line. HE'S A BELIEVER IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) - Grocery clerk Ken Bridges walked under a ladder leaning against a jewelry store.
