On Answers
WASHINGTON (LPH House
investigators today called former
Navy Secretary Dan Kimball to
quiz him on why 25 officials of

identically worded answers to a
congressional questionnaire.
Kimball is president of the Cat-

The executives involved are all
retired high-ranking military of

of more than 40 words to two
key questions on the form.
Kimball also was to be ques

defense industrialists planned but
never gave for Lt. Gen. Bernard
G. Schriever, Air Force research

Officials of the Martin Co., Bal

SCOUT NEWS
WEED
WEED Boy Scouts from Weed
are packing their camping gear
for a campout at Lake Britton
near Burney, August 28-29, and
will take a "hobo" ride to the
lake for the overnight stay.
The local scouts will join other
scouts from southern Siskiyou and
board railroad flat cars at the
McCloud River Railroad Depot
Friday morning at 8 o'clock Au
gust 28, for the trip to the "round
up funoree." The campout has
been planned by the Shasta Silver
Tip District scouters to end the
summer program of "Fun Round
up" and to interest new boys in
the scouting program. Each scout
attending may invite a prospec
tive member to the campout.
Fathers are especially encouraged
to attend and participate with
their sons in this special outing.
Scouts are to bring tents and
sleeping bags and other necessary
camping gear, swim suits and fish
ing poles, if desired. Patrols will
be responsible for their own
meals for Friday dinner, Saturday
breakfast and lunch. Each boy is
to take a sack lunch for Friday
noon.
A doctor will give each scout
and guest a checkup before board
ing the train. One requirement is
a permit slip with parents' signa
ture to authorize swimming dur
ing the two-day roundup. The slips
are available from local scout
masters.
Transportation for the return
trip will be furnished by parents
of the scouts and scheduled time
of departure from Lake Britton is
set between 3 and S o'clock Sat
urday afternoon.
Local scout leaders are plan
ning transportation to McCloud
rriday morning, and other ar
rangement details for the Weed
scouts.

is bigger, higher, cleaner, broad

In this competition, San Fran
cisco also leads New York 'and
most of the country) m climate,
alcoholism, weather and violent
crimes.
"There is an interesting correla
tion between violence and weath
er," Dr. Frederick Boyes ex
plained. He is the city's chief of
the Adult Guidance Center the
old-fashioned kind of redemption
center.
More suicides occur in Decem
ber and October our most beauti
ful months. They seldom happen
on bad. foggy, gloomy, rainy
days. It leads to an interesting
speculation:
"People who feel depressed and
inadequate seem to be equalized
by bad weather that depresses al
most everyone. The beautiful days
we have in San Francisco, howev
er, make the contrast much more
noticeable."
Now, it is a very difficult thing
to change the suicide rate, even
if you wanted to. Most of these
folks, Dr. Boyes says, have lost
their identities in the trance state
of our society and will not ask
for help.
But the city is taking great steps
to hold the line on other violence
Mayor George Christopher
assured me that his Operation S
(for Saturation of dangerous areas
with police) is doing wonders. The
plan calls for on-the-spot quest
ioning of people who are on the
streets at late or unusual hours
without any visible or lawful busi
ness.
UI course no plan is perfect, as
any San Franciscan will admit.
And so 80 per cent of the vagran
cy cases about 1,800 per year-
are dismissed as unfounded.
This leaves 1,800 people with
criminal records each year," said
Ernest Besig, executive director
of San Francisco's Chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Union.
There is only one thing to call
it: lawless enforcement of the law.
And I don't see any evidence that
the violence in the city has dimin
ished. 'In fact, we have complained
about the police beating people in
streets. But we are told from offi
cial quarters that it did not hap
pen. I saw it happen once and
was later told by officials that it
did not happen."
Well, it is not surprising. As Dr
Boyes puts it:
"A society is like a plastic bag
of water. Push it here and it has
to expand there. There are an aw
ful lot of pressures pushing it."
Especially in San Francisco, the
sociologists say.
To begin with, the prices. Take
men's furnishings, for example: a
mattress ticking jacket costs
512.50; a suede poncho, $15; white
leather slacks, $85; a combination
fish knife and linoleum cutter,
$4.95.
There is also the exorbitant im
age of the city: land of promise;
last frontier; new start; Shangri-
La.
Most of the people who do
come for help," Dr. Boyes said
"have lived here for 20 years and
have been troubled for half that
time."
By simple arithmetic it appears
that 10 years is the average toler
ance for Paradise.

Candlestick
Work Slowed
By Strike
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - Strik.
ing teamsters promised today
there would be no further inter
ference with movement of supplies
for the Giants' new Candlestick
Park and other vital city projects.
A pledge to end wildcat picket
ing came on the eve of a mass
meeting of Teamsters Local 85 in
Civic Auditorium aimed at cool
ing the rebellion of rank and file
members.
Meanwhile, San Francisco and
San Mateo economies increasing
ly felt the squeeze of the 8-day-old
strike by about 5,000 truck
drivers. An undetermined number
of workers in affected industries
was being laid off.
Henry Montano, a picket cap
tain and spokesman for rank and
file members, announced the
green light for shipments of con
crete seat-support slabs for the
Giants' stadium. Steel for the San
Francisco Hall of Justice, Civic
Center underground garage, and
other big projects also will be per
mitted to go through, he said.
Montano said business firms not
affected by the strike and on an
"exempt" list will be given clear
ance to move their trucks without
interference.
He said pickets will not stop
trucks hauling food, perishables,
flowers, government goods or oth
er vital commodities.
The union member said rank
and filers will insist at Saturday's
meeting that Local 85 leaders ne
gotiate a one-year contract with
the trucking employers.
The union had been offered $10
weekly raises each year under a
proposed three-year contract. Har
old Lopez, business manager of
Local 85,' recommended accept
ance, but the men shouted it down.
Unauthorized picketing washalt-
ed Thursday when Local 85 busi
ness agent Phil Dindia, backed
by police officials, showed copies
of a court injunction to pickets at
the Bay Bridge truck deck exit.
Kenneth Peddicord, 20, a Los
Gatos truck driver, was arrested
Thursday when he allegedly
waved a gun at five teamsters
after a minor collision between
his truck and their car. He said
he was "tired of being stopped
by pickets." " .
