Cricket
By BILL JENKINS
The publisher of this newspaper
has a cricket in his office. 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

The World dealing with Rome,

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.

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?)

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."

dent's daughter-in-law and wife of

hairdo with recently added golden

with dishpan hands.

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

troversy, said:
"Anything the proponents of a
sales lax say you can do, you can
do with a properly established in

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.

Hatfield won election last No

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.
