Ealing Out By FLORENCE JENKINS Eating out is going to cost a little more during the next six months than it did during the first half of 1959. Bar service, with or without food, also costs more now. Many local bars raised prices few weeks back when the price per bottle of popular brands went up a few cents. Some may make a further increase while others were upping prices to cover the anticipated 50-cent-a-day raise for bartenders which went into effect1 on July 1. Culinary Alliance, Local No. 424, and operators of all union res taurants in Klamath Falls have aigned new contracts. Increases in pay became effective on the first day of July. Waitresses were granted a raise of 40 cents a day; bartenders, 50 cents a day; cooks, 50 cents, and dishwashers 75 cents a day. , There are approximately 370 members of Local No. 424, Culi nary Alliance. Women work live days a week for a maximum of 40 hours. Men work six days, 48 hours. Blanket raises in pay result In industrywide increases in cost. And the cost is paid by the consumer because it cannot be absorbed by anybody else. However, the extra money In the weekly paycheck is spent locally, as a rule, and buys more goods and services for the recipient so that much more money is put into circulation in Klamath Falls. Meanwhile, the local restaurant operators make every attempt to maintain high standards of quality and to live up to their 'srogan '.'Eating out is fun." ing some nice, honest, well mean ing, inexperienced, untrained, un nualified man will not do any more. It's just too darned expen sive. Taxes, Appraisals By NELSON REED -Having listened to Charley Mack and Dean Ellis of the State Tax Commission hold forth on the matter of property appraisals, in regard to which most of us re cently received those sour little valentines, we' are convinced that the matter of property appraisal Is entirely too complicated to be handled as it is being done in our counties at the present time. It is absurd, to say the least, to expect to elect a county as sessor with the necessary back ground, training and education for the job from those candidates will ing to run for that oitice at the aalary it pays. Just because It is a public of fice we toss good sense to the winds and elect somebody because he is a nice guy or has never aid anything nasty about anybody or he promises to look out for ' til our interests personally or he's kind to his parents and a good father. We can be sure that he has never had much business training or experience or he would not- be interested in the job in good times. . We would not think of hiring anybody to do our tax account ing if he were not a certified public account nut, nor would we consider getting legal advice from somebody who was not a trained lawyer, admitted to the bar. But just because it is a public office even though it involves millions of dollars, we are still electing un trained, inexperienced people to be assessors, the same as we did back in the days before the rail roads came to Klamath County, when the job did not require any special education or experience Then when we get in a mess like we have been in lately we acrcam to high heaven. If by ac cident we do happen to gel a good man for the job, as we have on occasion, and our taxes go up through no fault of his, when the next election comes around the ill informed and ignorant voters throw him out. Somehow they think by choosing a completely un qualified man in his place their taxes will go down. How stupid can we got? Surely there are brains enough in this state in the State Tax Com mission, the Legislature or the citizens, so that we can come up with some better system of ob taining our assessors. Some stan dard of education, training and experience could be established that must be met by any candi date for the office, whether he still li elected by the local people or appointed by the governor or the State Tax Commission. Sufficient salary should he paid (or the job to attract qualified men. At the same time the col lection of taxes, should be taken out ef the sheriff's ofllce and mane a duty of the assessor's oitice. While. in effect, it la now being done that way, it i ridiculous to still pretend thai me snerm is a tax nnllKtOr. Wa can no longer a I lord the horsa and buggy system of choos ing public servants for highly complicated positions Involving Urge sums ot money. Just elect- Pavement Plato By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) Curbstone comments of a Pavement Plato: Mankind's hardest industry is getting out of bed every morning. it is the greatest test of the hu man will. Civilization only makes the problem worse. In caveman days, a man got out of bed for only one reason he was hungry. It made ense for him to arise rather than lie there and starve. But today everybody is on a diet. It is fashionable to starve. Therefore it makes more sense to stay in bed. Why starve on your feet when you can starve com lortably lying down? The worst demand of civiliza tion is that a man get out of bed every morning or at least five days a week at the same hour. It is inhuman and unnatural. Can ou name any other animal in na ture that gets up every day at the same time? Bears don't. Tigers don't. Rats don't. Mice won't. Even at a racetrack the starter is unable to wake up all the horses at the same moment particularly the horse you have bet on. Man's normal -attitude toward a bed is very simple. It is the last thing he wants to go to at night and the last thing he wants to leave in the morning. He fights sleep as long as he can. But once he surrenders, he surrenders all the way. Now and then you hear a fellow brag about how he likes to leap out of bed, nimble and clear eyed, eager to greet the rising sun and meet the fresh challenges of another day. I always feel a bit sad when I go to these fellows' funerals later cut off, as they so often are, in the very prime of life. Getting out of bed is a real test of character. Obviously, anybody who can jump easily and merrily out of bed has no character. And that's what eventually mows them down In the stern strain of living lack of character. Also lack of strength. They wear out all their strength leaping out of bed in the morning. By noon they are hollow-eyed. By 50 they are dead, and unmourned. After awaking, one should think the problem through for a full half an hour. Then should follow 15 minutes of careful exercise cpnsisting of yawning and scratch ing. After that you should sit up slowly, and let your feet down over the side of the bed one foot at a time. An hour from the time the alarm clock first sounds you should, if all goes well, be looking at yourself In the bathroom mir ror and wondering why such a fascinating devil has to work for a living. There are, of course, mechani cal aids to getting up such as being awakened by a clock-radio delivering the morning world news broadcasts. But world news is so terrible now that, listening, one has more of an urge to cower under the bed sheets than to arise and face such a terrible universe. More helpful is the psychologi cal approach. When you wake up you start brooding about how all the people you hate probably got up early this morning and arc out making money. Before you know it you are out of bed. too trying lo catch up with them. But the best solution of all Is to marry. A wife will insist not only that you get to hed on time. but that you get out of bed on time to earn her a living. She will take the responsibility from your worn shoulders. Hig ltiifciiieM By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP)-Do the big gest companies fare better in bad times than the small ones? Most persons probably think so. Cer tainly the giants seem to have the better staying power. And their rebound in good times is likely to be more impressive. But records of the biggest cor porations during 1958 year both of recession and recovery show their sales and profits shrank by a greater percentage than the av erage and by more than the small est. The big boys had farther to fall and many of them tumbled quite a way down the slope. Also, none of the 10 industrial firms with the largest sales and pcofits was among the 10 com panies with highest return on in vested capital or with highest sales per dollar of invested capi tal, and only two were among the top 10 in return on sales. Revenues of the 50 biggest in dustrials fell 8.2 per cent in 1958 from 1957 and net profits were off 20.8 per cent. By comparison. sales of the 500 largest industrials were down 6.1 per cent and profits off 17.8 per cent, while all other industrial firms showed a com bined decline in sales of' 3.6 per cent, although profits slipped 20 per cent. Compiling these figures, For tune magazine asks and answers this question: "Is corporate big ncss a moderating force during major swings in the economy? The answer, apparently, is no. In profits the 10 top industrials, in order, are: General Motors, Jersey Standard Oil, Du Pont, Gulf Oil, Texaco, U.S. Steel, Cal ifornia Standard Oil, General Electric, Sncony Mobil Oil, and Bethlehem Steel. But if commun ications are included, American Telephone & Telegraph would top GM. In sales the top 10 industrials are, in order: GM, Jersey Stand ard, Ford, GE, U.S. Steel, Socony Mobil, Gulf, Swift, Texaco and Western Electric. Again, if com munications and merchandizing firms are included, A.T.&T. would be third, A 4 P fourth, and Sears Roebuck eighth. In assets A.T.&T. outruns the industrials. The top 10 of the lat ter alone, in order: Jersey Stand ard, GM. U.S Steel, Gulf, Socony Mobil, Texaco, GE, Du Pont, In diana Standard Oil and California Standard Oil. By adding merchandizing and communication companies to in dustrials listed on its board, the New York Stock Exchange reports that 46 firms in 1958 had sales of one billion dollars or more. Two on this list in 1957 fell off, but two additions balanced it out. Looking at the top 500 industri als, Fortune finds three that in creased net profits more than fourfold last year (Morrcll, Oliver Corp., and Solar Aircraft). Fifty gained by 25 per cent or more Higher sales were reported by 216. Industrial groups doing particu larly well last year were: Food up 4.1 per cent in sales and 8.2 per cent in profits; and tobacco up 10.2 per cent in sales and 20.7 per cent in profits. Auto, aircraft and shipbuilding companies taken as a group tum bled the most in profits, down 37.3 per cent, with sales off 13.9 per cent. Metal manufacturers as a group were off 22.3 per cent in profits and 16.5 per cent in sales. The 1958 recession period hit the biggest the most of all, in sharp contrast to 1957, mostly a boom year, when the 500 biggest gained more than did smaller firms, and the 50 giants did the best of all. Foreign Notebook By PHIL NEWSOM -UPI Foreign Editor From the foreign editor's note book: SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal It's beginning to look more and more as though France will ex plode its first atomic' bomb be fore the end of the year. If it does. It will make France a mem ber of the exclusive "nuclear club" now made up of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Un ion. This achievement will give President Charles de Gaulle re alization of one of his fondest de sires a bigger voice and more influence in 'shaping world af fairs. About a week ago, Pierre Guillaurnat, De Gaulle's minister of the armed forces, said France was so "close" to completing work on its first atomic bomb that it didn't need foreign assist ance. This hint of atomic attain ment was underscored later when Assistant Premier Jacques Sou sidle told the Senate in Paris that France would not agree to any suspension of nuclear tests at a time when its own bomb was ncaring completion. It's not ex pected that France's big bang will go off until after the sum mer months, however. The Saarland's half million res idents may become full-fledged Germans again soon. The coal rich territory which has been the subject of international tugs of war since Charlemagne's grand sons divided up his empire, was part of France from 1945 until Jan. 1, 1957- when it was returned to West Germany. However, it was agreed the Saar would re main a part of the French mon etary zone for three years to pro vide an orderly changeover. The West Germans now are ready to bring the Saar into the German monetary zone six months ahead of schedule. One sticky problem is that of children allowances. In France, the government allow ance begins with the first child. In West Germany, it begins with the third. The West German Par liament has agreed to continue to pay for the first child in the Saar, although it fears this mav lead eventually to similar arrange ments for all of West Germany. It would boost government costs 250 million dollars a year. West German Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer has a standing in vitation to visit London, but Brit ish Prime Minister Harold. Mac millan is said to hope he won't pick it up. Macmillan has been soured by some of Adenauer's re cent acidly anti British pro nouncements, resulting from their divergent views on the best ways to deal with Soviet Russia. Mac millan, alone among Western leaders, is strong for a summit meeting with Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev and is not going to be talked out of it. Therefore, he also opposes any meeting among Western leaders now.

(AP) A red-haired beauty's, decision to compete in the Miss Universe con test over the objections of her church stirred a tempest here today. "The phone hasn't stopped ring ing," Miss Sue lngersoll said late Friday night, after she' announced her decision. The Catholic Church, Lo which she belongs, has prom ised to deny the sacrament to her and her family if she competes in the beauty contest. She expressed amazement that her decision had brought so much interest. ' 'It took me quite by surprise," she said. She said her mother, Mrs. H. O. lngersoll, had answered most of the calls during the day. "I have talked to very few peo ple myself," she said, and added she did not know how most of the callers felt about her competing in the face of the church's opposi tion. N Miss lngersoll, a beauty parlor operator who was chosen Miss New Mexico last month and des ignated the state's entry in the Miss Universe contest, said sev eral people had stopped her on the street and commented on the tempest raised. She was asked, "These people were acquaintances of yours, of course?" "On the contrary people I don't know," she said. "They asked me what I planned to do." She explained these people prob ably recognized her from pictures in the local papers. Most were for her in her deci sion to proceed with the contest, site said. A decree issued by Archbishop Edwin V. Byrne of Santa Fe sev eral years ago, and which still stands, forbids Catholic girls from taking part in beauty conlests where contestants must appear publicly in swimming suits. , ' The office of the archbishop af firmed that Miss lngersoll and her family would be deprived of the sacraments of communion and confession "for a period of time to be determined by the archbish op himself", if she parades pub licly in a bathing suit. Miss lngersoll, who said she was -quite upset by the turn of events, nevertheless expressed determination to compete. She said earlier she was going ahead with the contest and "I am keeping my religion, too." "I'm still set on doing bolh." she said, after the barrage of tel ephone calls. She stressed that she did not want her decision to be construed as a criticism of the church. "I certainly don't want to criti cize the Catholic Church in any way," she said. "I certainly would never criticize the Catholic Church. 'Mother is not encouraging. She feels I should abide by the church," she added. Although Mrs. lngersoll is a Catholic, lngersoll is not. "The Catholic Church will not oppose bathing suit review con tests if the review is held in pri vate, allowing only the families of the contestants and the judges to New Chairman To Be Named MILWAUKIE, Ore.

Contestants in the Miss Uni verse contest are required to pa rade publicly in bathing suits, al though in New Mexico the state finalists competed in the bathing suit review in a private contest. Officials of the Miss Universe contest, in Long Beach, Calif., said the contest rules would not be changed for any Catholic entry, j They said all girls will be required , to follow the same routine as other contestants. The archbishop's office, explain ing the church's views on public bathing suit reviews, said, "There is a vast difference between a girl appearing in a bathing suit on a beach and one parading in public in such attire for the express pur pose of showing the public pres ent, and, in many cases, the tele vision world, a body created by1 God for his designs and not for purposes subversive to those-ends. ! Such express display is subversive to those ends, causing in so many instances moral decadence and sin on the part of the viewers." 1 Oscar Meinhardt, director of the! Miss Universe contest, in Long Beach, said the purpose of the contest was to "promote interna-j tional good will and friendship"! and that the suits worn by thej entrants were "very conserva-! tive."
