I don't know whether he knows about this or not. But he has. 1 hear it almost every day. Very early in the morning. I think the cricket is afraid of the boss. Hu never chirps after he comes in, But he chirps at me in a most friendly fashion when I go in early to open up the place. He lives behind the door. Sometimes he moves up inlo the bookshelves. But mostly he lives behind the door. I have heard that a cricket on the hearth is a good omen. I do not know what a cricket behind the door means. Maybe just that you have a cricket behind the door. But there must be something more than coincidence when you have a newspaper cricket that occasionally moves up into the bookshelves. An educated sort of fellow. Of course I don't know if he reads anything or not. I don'' think he does. He is too small to open the books, much less get them off the shelf so he could open them. Perhaps he reads the ad vertising material on the dust cov ers. Or maybe he eats the pages. I don't know. I have never seen any tigns of chewing on the books. But some of them haven't been moved for a long time. Ones like the government bulletins on the lemon tiluation in Southern California. Well, anyway, the cricket has taken over in the publisher's of fice. I don't suppose there is much we can do about it. And I don't know that there is anything I want to do, A cricket seems a pleasant sort of companion. Cheerful. Clean. Easy to keep. Maybe the boss wants to do omething about it. But I doubt It. I don't think the boss knows he has a cricket in his office. Maybe in time the cricket will get over its fear of the boss and ling for him, too. I think this would be nice. The boss is a real nice guy. He likes to have cheerful people around him. I m sure the cricket would like the boss If he was just sure of himself. They could sit there and exchange philosophies about things. I'm sure a cricket must have a lot of philosophy in him. After all. he spends most of his time sitting around thinking cheerful thoughts and then telling them to those who listen. Maybe the Little People talk to them. Anyway, I think it is nice to have cricket around the place. I wish I had one at home. ' If this cricket ever gels tired Of the boss' office and wants to move I can offer him a splendid hearth. . In the meantime maybe I'll takr 1 book off the shelf for him and open it. Maybe The Comedies of Shakespeare which has a nice leather cover. Or perhaps Vols 7-8 of The Historians' History Of The World dealing with Rome, Arabs, Crusades. dentists, insurance men or retail store merchants. The Park and Shop Idea must have the support of everyone if it is to succeed. And as William Barr, the na tional parking authority, said so aptly, "If all downtown doesn't stay healthy, none will. Pnrking lroliliii By FLOYD L. WYNNE In this day and age of turning to government for everything, it i refreshing as well as inspirational to find a group of people willing to do for themselves. I'm referring to the enterprising merchants of downtown Klamath Falls. In many other cities, merchants are besieging some form of gov ernment city, slate or federal to give them a hand in solving their parking problems. We have the same problems probably even more acutely, in Klamath Falls, but in both the earlier attempted off-street park Ing district as well as in the new plan for a Park and Shop corpora tion, the merchants themselves have not only pointed the way, but nave done the leading. The automobile has become both the blessing of our civilization as well as the problem child. . The newly proposed Tark and Shop corporation promises to lead lie downtown merchants out of some of their parking dilemma It's a far reaching plan, and trictly a community endeavor. oui ii s one mat gives ev ery prom ise of being successful. Just as when the area was faced with the loss of a mass trans portation system, the merchants and professional people banded to gether to form and finance t h e Merchants Bus, now It appears certain that they will band togeth er to form and finance a solution to their parking needs. But again. It can only be done with the cooperation of all busi nessmen in the downtown area, whether they be lawyers, doctors, Hypnotism 'By FLORENCE JENKINS Hypnotism is a potentially valu able medical tool born of witch craft. The magical mumbo-jumbo, silk en robes and magnetized iron rods which were trademarks of Mes- mer's "animal magnetism," were first stripped away by Dr. James Braid, a Scot who laid the scientif ic foundation of hypnotism in about the year 1842 or shortly thereafter. His efforts have led to present- day application of hypnotism as a therapeutic aid. Mcsmer. who was graduated as a doctor of medicine from the Uni versity of Vienna in 1776, was sharply aware of the therapeutic limitation of medicine of his day. He developed the idea that dis ease was mal-distrihution of the body's "universal fluid" which, among other things, transmitted the influence of the planets to the human body as a magnet influ ences metallic objects. His healing rituals, in which mes meric trances played a part, were supposed to return the fluid to its proper position with the help of magnetized rods. Mcsmer enjoyed a certain popu larity with the wealthy and jaded who flocked to faddists of all types. His medical colleagues, however, ran him out of Vienna and, at a later period, out of Paris. Dr. Braid a surgeon of Man chester, was a complete skeptic at first and then found his inter est growing. He started attending hypnotic seances in 1841 and in 1843 published his first treatise on artificially induced sleep. Hynotic phenomena "are induced solely by an impression made on the nervous centers was his con tcntion and he pretty much dis counted the effect of planets, et cetera. He set out to disprove claims that patients in hypnotic trance could be made to perform criminal acts or that persons could be hyp notized against their will. Those contentions are still accepted as fact today. Many of Dr. Braid's ideas con tinue today, such as limiting the use of hypnotism to functional ills and his statement repudiating the idea of holding it up as a uni versal remedy. Like many fads, hypnotism has been in and out of favor for more than a hundred years. Ever notice the scarcity of hyp notism acts on entertainment pro grams these days? Which, we might add, is perfect ly all right with us. SM-SMII FROM THE BEND BULLETIN Any true, dicd-in-the-wool tele vision fan knows that good guys ride write or light-colored horses, and the bad guys ride black horses. i Used to be, back in the Tom Mix days, the good buys more white hats. But that seems to have changed. I During recent years, as mora public attention has been given to the problems which arise be tween landowners and sportsmen, the sportsmen in the public eye most often have been riding white horses. The landowner almost always has been pictured as the guy with the black horse. In this general stereotype the landowner is pictured as a greedy, grasping nvan who locks his gates. buys all the good river frontage desired by the fishermen and shuts up all the deer desired by tht hunters. The poor sportsman, on the oth cr hand, is a good guy, who works hard at a boring, monotonous job, who wants only to fish and hunt in the few minutes available to him. We know lots of sportsmen. Most of them are- good guys. We know a number of landown ers. Most of them are good guys, too. A member of this newspaper's staff spent a day with a landowner this week. The two of them made a tour along a couple of fence lines. The same fences had been inspected only a lew days pre viously. First damage noted was to a gate. It had been carefully re moved so a car could go through into properly which was very plain ly posted. Fifteen minutes of work put it back together. A mile or so away a new four s'.rand barbed wire fence had been cut and a post pulled out. Here, too, the property had been clearly posted. It took an hour to make repairs. Two other splices were seen a little farther along, where previ ous fence-cuttings had been re paired. On one corner of the property a good-sized dump ground, also posted, had been fenced off to keep livestock out of the tin cans and broken bottles it contained. This property owner is a good sportsman himself. And he agrees that probably 99 per cent of to day's hunters and fishermen arc fine fellows, who are real careful with his property and livestock. This doesn't make him feel any better about the time and money he must spend to take care of the depredations caused by that other one per cent. Perhaps, in this public stereo type we all have of the people in volved in this landowner sportsman controversy, we ought to put some of the sportsmen on black horses. gonian, the senator's spleen was showing in his gratuitous com ment, "I never expect objective reporting on my work in the Sen ate by your paper, but I had al ways thought you would have the decency to avoid libel." Not only the decency, but the prudence. No paper invites a libel suit. The Strang thing Is that For rester's editorial was not critical of Morse. His first paragraph posed the question "asked again and again" whether Morse serves a useful purpose in the Senate. After referring to the Luce-Morse embroglio, the editorial took up the Morse-Herter exchange quot ing from the Monitor's account. Then it went on to defend Morse "One can dislike the tactics Sen ator Morse employed in this case. But one can also say that it was good that Mr. Herter was subject ed to the Morse test and passed it so well." And with further reference to the Luce matter, the editorial conclud ed: "So, perhaps. Senator Morse performed a necessary service." Instead of a threat of a libel suit, Morse would have done bet ter to ask for a correction on the recording device item and thanked Forrester for the favorable com ment otherwise. We would be inclined to say it was a case of "jumpy nerves" with Morse, but we won't. It might invite a libel suit. Will He Sue? From The Salem Statesman Of all the papers in the USA the one we would least suspect of committing libel is the Christian Science Monitor. It strives with out ceasing to print the truth and nothing but the truth. It docsn'; attempt to print the "whole truth1' in the news, sidestepping most crime news, but in the area of its coverage it is honest both In its reporting and editorializing. Christian Science admits the pos sibility of error, and the Monitor is subject to this human frailty the same as other papers. Perhaps it did err In its report of Senator Morse's catechising of Christian Herter in the hearing over the lat ter's appointment as secretary of state. At least Morse threatens the Monitor with a libel suit, and re peats the threat on the Pendleton East Oregonian whose editor had picked up and used part of the Monitor report in his own editorial comment. But how trivial the error the senator complains of assuming it was an error! The offending para graph merely recited that Morse "had hooked up his own wire re cording device to take down his fairly frank and forthright ex change with Mr. Herter." Morse calls that an "ahsolute lie." Suppose it is wrong, just how seri ously did it injure the senator? He wasn't defamed. He wasn't abused. In his long career the sen ior senator has suffered far worse from the tongues and pens of his foes. Morse may claim he was held up to ridicule but others including Mrs. Luce, have done s far more expert job. I By the way, why doesn't Morse sue Mrs. Luce for libel on that horse crack?) As for Morse's threat against Bud Forrester of the East Ore- SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal son feelT f MO jly M-OHf f I'D BETTER V I 60 IN! yWMATS X WWNi? VOU Sl'RE HAVE Ti?

X O While House ZVofe.s By MERRIMAN SMITH WASHINGTON (UPI) Back stairs at the White House: The Spanish artist, Joan Miro, visited the White House recently to receive an award Irom Presi dent Eisenhower and naturally he was accompanied by the dignified Spanish ambassador, the Count of Motrico. After the ceremony in the pres ident's office, Miro and the am bassador were shown a number of amateur paintings which hang outside the Eisenhower suite. Among them were some by the President. Afterward reporters asked the Spanish envoy, "how would you compare the painting of the Presi dent with that of your General issimo Franco?" The ambassador blanched and whispered, "don't ask me embar rassing questions." Mrs. John S. Doufl, Mrs. Eisen hower's mother, lives virtually by herself in Denver. Because of her age, 81, and a series of illnesses, she remains on the second floor of her home, tended by an around-the-clock staff of nurses. Late one night some weeks ago. Mrs. Doud awoke and rang for the nurse. There was no answer and the aged woman used a bed side telephone to summon friends. They found the nurse slumped over in a chair outside of Mrs. Doud's bedroom door, dead from a heart attack. When the President visited the Air Force Academy outside Colo, rado Springs last week, he was quite impressed by the shining modernistic buildings and their vast expanse of broad windows. Apparently, the chief executive was not told about one of the more embarrassing problems at the new academy. Hail and wind storms howling down out of the Rockies break the big windows on occasion. Asked how frequently the win dows are blown or knocked out, one officer said, "I'm not at lib erty to discuss such a thing, but I have this comment: This would be one whale of a place to build a branch of the Pittsburgh Glass Company." Barbara Eisenhower, the Presi dent's daughter-in-law and wife of Maj. John S. Eisenhower, certain ly adds a touch of glamour to the presidential entourage when she travels aboard the Columbine II-. The pretty young mother of four has a new, seemingly casual hairdo with recently added golden tints scattered through her norm ally dark hair. Somehow it seems the air age to see a mother of four children and one of them 11 years old - looking more like a cov er girl than a harassed parent with dishpan hands. People who should know where the if-and-when summit conference is to be held are now betting on San Francisco, as well as Geneva Three weeks ago. they were will ing to give odds on Geneva. A decision should be reached within two or three weeks on the site, but a dale is something else again. The time factor would be subject to quite some change, de pending on the mood in which the foreign ministers end their meeting.

Wednesday was the coldest day of the train's journey, which be- ?an April 19 at Independence. Mo. Wind swept the western Nebraska prairies and the tem perature was 54 degrees. Before leaving Ogallala, Neb., there was a brief prayer service lor the victim of a traffic acci dent that took place beside the wagon train s noon camp near Roscoe. Neb.. Tuesday.

(AP) - Gov Mark Hatfield of Oregon was reeled by Republicans in the Michigan Legislature Wednesday. but they failed to find his policies all to their liking. He talks too much like a Democrat." grumbled Sen. Perry W. Greene, Grand liapids Repub lican, after '36-year-old Hatfield had spoke to a joint session of the Legislature. Earlier Hat Held had approved at a news conference a favorite revenue program of Michigan PUC Leader Raps Trains PORTLAND (AP) - Railroads, and specifically the Southern Pa cific, drew a sharp jab Wednes day from Oregon's public utilities commissioner, Jonel Hill, in his first major address since taking office. Hill told a Portland audience Wednesday he does not like the recent Southern Pacific decision to reduce the Shasta Daylight passenger service between San Francisco and Portland. The SP said it was reducing the service to three runs each way a week except for daily runs dur ing peak travel times. Hill said the decision, after In terstate Commerce Commission approval, was made in the face of ample, uncontradicted evidence lhat passenger traffic was dis couraged deliberately to create a loss. He said this was "tantamount to a declaration of policy that rail roads may divest themselves of passenger - carrying responsibili ty whenever they can show an out-of-pocket loss. ..." Hill, hitting at railroads gener ally! urged for his office "uni form rate suspension powers, in line with other states and the fed eral government, an accepted power of regulation. Democrats an income tax to pay for state government. Republicans want a sales tax increase and have deieated Demo cratic efforts to put through a graduated income tax. The Oregon Republican govern or, aware of Michigan's tax con troversy, said: "Anything the proponents of a sales lax say you can do, you can do with a properly established in come tax." But. he hastened to add: "Please bear in mind that I speak only of Oregon. In his talk 4o the Legislature Hatfield drew applause from Democrats when he outlined how the Oregon Legislature had re apportioned legislative districts. He said: Now our districts are represented not by jackrabbits and sagebrush but by people." This also pleased Michigan Democrats, who long have com plained that the present appor tionment denies lair representa tion to the populous Detroit area. a Democratic stronghold. Hatfield won election last No vember despite a Democratic landslide that put the Republicans in the minority in both houses of the Oregon Legislature. He was in Lansing to help the Michigan capital observe its 100th birthday. Oregon also is celebrat ing its centennial this year. Engineer Arrested In Conspiracy SOUTH PASADENA Calif. (AP) An electronics engineer was arrested Wednesday night and accused of plotting a "kill now, pay later" conspiracy to eliminate a love rival. Police said Arthur Herbert Reeser Smith, 50, of Pasadena, had turned over the second of two V250 payments and a promissory note for $1,500 to Charles Hitch cock Johnston, 41, also of Pasa dena. Smith was hooked in the county jail on suspicion of soliciting an other person to commit murder. Johnston, who described himself as an ex-soldier of fortune, told police Smith hired him to kill an other man he said was alienating a girl friend's affections. Johnston said Smith suggested he use poison gas. , "But as a soldier of fortune used to killing," Johnston quoted Smith as saying, "you must have a favor ite method of your own. 1 don't care how you do it, but get the job done." C. A. Pantaleoni. investigator for the district attorney, told this story: Smith approached Johnston May 4 and asked him about an ad Johnston published in a Pasadena newspaper, offering to undertake dangerous missions for money. He offered Johnston S2.000 to kill Joseph D. Reed, a former teacher at. Santa Fe (N.M.) High School. Smith said Reed had come be tween him and Elaine Worthing ton, 40, a teacher at the New Mex ico school. Johnston notified South Pasadena police. Detective Sgt. Donald Roberts said he met Smith May 13, told him he was working with Johnston and got the first -$250 down pay ment. Wednesday night, he said, he got the second payment. He said the remainder was to be paid after Reed was killed. THAT'S ALL MADAM EAST ST. LOUIS, 111. (UPD Mrs. Irene Randolph took the stand and identified herself: "I'm a housewife.

URGES REFUGEE AID ' WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Eisenhower has designated the 12 months beginning July 1 as "World Refugee Year." He said Tuesday that during this period there should be renewed public cooperation and action to help ease the plight of refugees throughout the world. Politico Asks Duke To Talk NASSAU. Bahamas (AP) A Rahamas political leader says the Ouke of Windsor should come to Nassau and reveal what informa lion he has on the murder of Sir Harry Oakcs more than 15 years ago. The House of Assembly unani mously approved a resolution to osk Scotland lard to renew in vestigation of the multimillion aire's killing. Cyril Stevenson, who introduced the resolution, said he was sur prised at the Assembly's action Tuesday and expected it to be thrown out. "I feel it imperative that the Duke of Windsor come to Nassau to reveal information he has at his disposal concornins the murder." Stevenson said Wednesday, "it was the duke's bungling that was responsible for the investigation not being carried through." Stevenson said that Raymond Schindlcr, an American detective, "told me without doubt he could nut his hand on the murderer who he said is a member of the Bay Street political party." Sir Harry, who owned consider able Bahamas property and gold mines in other parts of the world, was found bludaeoned in his home July 8, 104.1 His son-in-law. Count Alfred de Marigny. was charged a it h the slaying but was acquit ted.
