V."? a o o o c, o o o In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS In a recent issue of the Pendle ton East Oregonian, its editor and publisher, J. W. Forrester, Jr., notes that there are two schools ot thouRht on the subject of taxes. He says: "In one camp are those who would place government services FIRST. They would determine first the NEEDS of the citizens, and then build a tax program to fi nance those needs. "The opposing school of thought would first determine the TAX LOAD THE CITIZENS CAN CAR RY and then provide services with in the anticipated income." Let's put it this way: Among our people, one group would have government spend whatever is necessary to give ev erybody everything he wants. This group has come to be known as the LIBERALS. The other group would first de cide wisely, thoughtfully and care fully what government services ar-unavoidably necessary to main tain our economy and then would levy only what taxes are needed to accomplish that purpose. Thus group has come to be known as the CONSERVATIVES. Which way is best? In an effort to answer that ques tion, let's take a look at families. In some families, the parents believe children should have ev erything they want, regardless of cost. In other families, the par ents decide what is BEST for the children, within the limits of the family income, and then do their best to provide it. Again Which way is BEST? That can only be decided by watching the children. It VERY often happens, though, that chil dren who have been trained to ex pect everything they want grow up with habits of extravagance that sometimes ruin their lives, whereas children who have been taught how to make both ends meet are very often more success ful in handling their affairs wisely thus avoiding serious financial trouble. Anyway, I'm personally grateful to Editor Forrester for putting this fundamental conflict between the liberals and the conservatives so succinctly and so clearly. Hospital Fire; Four Burned COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Four persons suffered burns and 18 pa tients of one ward were evacuated today when fire broke out in the offices of Doctors Hospital here. The fire, which sent smoko hun dreds of feet into the air and vis ible in downtown Columbus, was caused by an accident during a repair job. Three workmen were welding a copper pipe in a small space above a false ceiling of the first floor, and above the telephone switchboard room. Fumes from a can of adhesive material caught fire from a torch, the torch over turned and kept spreading the fire. Eighteen children in a pediatric ward on the second floor, ranging from 6 to 16 years of age, were moved to a newly completed wing and a fire door was closed to keep the flames from spreading Some of the patients had to be carried. : Mae Mondox, 50, a telephone op erator; George E. Ridgcway, 25; Wilbur Miller, 25; and Stoner Hat fAn, 30, the workmen, were taken "Vo the hospital's emergency room for treatment of burns.

(UPI The battle of the sexes has spread to the intramural foot ball field at Texas Christian Uni versity. A determined fraternity team used an ambidextrous quar terback Wednesday to squeak by a sorority eleven 12-8. Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity students, trying hard to be gen tlemanly, took the victory despite an early scoring lead by the girls of Delta Gamma Sorority. The teams were governed by two different sets of regulations. The men used their opposite passing. (If a passer was right handed, he used his left.) Male defensive players could not break from a walk until they were past the line of scrimmage and into the Delta Gamma backfield, and they had to keep their hands to themselves. That is, down to their sides. The girls observed these rules: No flirting with players during game time. No unlady-like conduct. No use of feminine charms to confuse male players. The fraternity scores both came off the passing arm of Lowell Adams of Crane, Tex., who being ambidextrous, was not effected by the opposite hand passing rule. Drugs Lauded By Doctor CHICAGO (UPI) Currently! available drugs mean arthritis sufferers need "never again" fear severe crippling from the dis ease, a clinical specialist told Il linois family doctors today. Dr. Abraham Cohen, of Phila delphia, said treatment with hor mones such as cortisone have substantially reduced hospitaliza tion due to arthritis even though no cure has yet been found. Cohen, arthritis clinic chief at the Philadelphia General Hospi tal Blockley Division, was a clos ing session speaker at a three day meeting of the Illinois Acad emy of General Practice. Severe crippling, he said, "need never again be the ulti mate result of rheumatoid arth ritis" if the patient has access to "interested medical manage ment" and "intelligent" use of various treatment methods. Most patients, he said, can look forward to leading useful lives. Cohen indicated patient at titude had partially overcome even some possible side effects such as osteoporosis, or gradual bone degeneration, from long term use of synthetic hormones "All the patients who have os teoporosis are under control." Cohen said, "and I sincerely be lieve that each and every one of them feels that osteoporosis even with fracture is preferable to permanent invalidism."

Randolph Collier explained Tuesday to the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors allo cation of an additional $200,000 to 20 California counties for snow re moval. The allocation, to supple ment $500,000 in state snow re moval funds, docs not include Sis kiyou County. The county receives a portion of the original $500,000 allocation. Senator Collier said the addi tional funds are for counties which have gone heavily in debt in snow removal operations principally in resort areas. He said, also, that a general revamping of the entire snow removal program is under way in an attempt to have a more equitable distribution of state funds on the basis of actual equipment used in clearing roads. Steel Lack Halts Work DETROIT (AP) - All auto assembly lines in the vast General Motors empire stood silent today. stilled by lack o( enough steel to turn out even one more complete passenger car. Production of autos ground to a halt Wednesday night at the world's largest manufacturing firm. Shutdown of GM's last oper ating assembly line was the cli max of a series of halts caused by the national steel strike. 1 The shutdown will last until enough steel can be obtained and parts processed to fill supply lines at assembly plants. GM has do-1 dined to estimate how long this might be but industry sources ex pect the shutdown to last up to four weeks. Normally, at this time of year GM's five car-making divisions would be turning out more than 00.000 units a week. Most GM lines have been down for 10 days and production was curtailed even before then by parts shortages. G.M has laid off 220,000 hourly employes out of a normal work force of 320,000, Ford Motor Co. is operating on curtailed work weeks but plans to step up production by the end of November. Ford makes almost half of its own steel. Chrysler Corp.. also has cut back production but will build all lines of cars through at least next week The firm has laid off 5.850 hourly workers. Sea Cable Repair Slated By Ship SYDNEY, N.S. f AP) A re pair ship heads today for a spot 200 miles off Newfoundland where a transatlantic cable was dam aged Monday, knocking out 30 telephone circuits from France and Germany. Five cable breaks occurred in the same area last February prompting an on board investiga tion of a Soviet trawler found in the vicinity. It was believed, al though never proved, that the trawler's deep-riding plows migbt have cut the cable accidentally. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON. :- , i" ;: Supervisors Of Siskiyou Mull Conservation Camp YREKA First matter of busi ness brought before the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors at their recent meeting was the pro posed conservation camp for con vict trustees in the Fort Jones area. The board later stated it had no jurisdiction over the question Last week, A. Roy Bengard, slate division ot forestry ranger in charge of the Y'reka otfice, .an nounced plans for the camp were ncaring completion. Several ranch crs of the Fort Jones area, near the proposed locale of the camp, appeared before the board with a petition signed by 47 Fort Jones property owners protesting Ihe es tablishment of such a camp. The petition was presented by W. J. Pindell, who owns property about eight miles from the camp site, and Joe Serpa, whose property is located about six miles from the site. Chairman of the board, W. C. Bill) Ealy, also informed the board he had received two peti tions from property owners in Fort Jones, bearing 102 signatures of persons favoring the establishment of such a camp. The board advised Pindell and Serpa to present their petition and personal objections to Bengard, and to contact Dewitt Nelson at the State Division of Natural Re sources in Sacramento, for further information. Pindell had stated the value of property would depreci ate according to its proximity to the camp, while Serpa's objections were based on the presence of a bad situation created by locating prisoners in the area.

We need the protection." Electronics To Aid MDs PASADENA, Calif. (AP) A small black box may some day enable your doctor to consult with the world's best medical minds and avoid many of the pitfalls that now lead to improper diagnosis and treatment. The latest research, which now sifts down through scientific jour nals to doctors who sometimes arc too busy to read them, will be at your physician's fingertips This Utopian world will come about through the use of ' the 'black boxes" popularly known as electronic brains. They now guide space rockets, automate factories and regulate traffic. Their ability to store tre mendous amounts of information, analyze it and reach decisions may s'oon be put to work combat ing disease. When this day comes, you will walk into your doctor's office and tell him your symptoms. He then will feed this information plus all that he knows about you your case history into a small, elec tronic data-coding machine. This machine will relay the data to a giant central computer which in turn is linked to other com puter centers all over the world In minutes, perhaps seconds, a combined opinion of the world's best medical minds on how to treat your case will flash to your doctor's office to guide him in re storing you to health. A glimpse of this application of the wizardry of computers is con taincd in a paper read before the Operations Research Society meeting here this week. SHOOTING HOURS DUCKS, GEESE OREGON November 13 OPEN CLOSE :55 4:50 CALIFORNIA November 13 OPEN CLOSE 6:49 4:50 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 6519 Death Valley Gold Rumored DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL MONUMENT, Calif. (UPli-Gold deposits in this vast Southern Cat ifornia desert region led this week to optimistic rumors of mining operations reminiscent of the last century. At least four mining companies confirmed they were making in tensive, tests of oro found in the 25.000-acie region in and around Death Valley. However, none of the operators could say for sure whether any of the deposits were rich enough to be mined at a profit despite rumors circulating through min ing circles of a rich ore find. Some test holes already have probed deeper than 90 feet and a representative of one of the pros pecting firms said his crew would go to 150 feet if necessary. Howard I. Young, president of American Zinc Sales Co., con firmed discovery of a "promis ing" find but said it might take as long as six months to deter mine if the lode is rich enough to mine profitably. He said that so far samples had not indicated what could be termed a "rich" find or proof that the ore would be valuable commercially. Gold is not new to Death Valley and Ihe vast desert surrounding it. Pioneers a hundred years ago staked claims there and small quantities of gold are taken each year by amateur prospectors. Should the lode prove rich enough to mine commercially, it could be valuable in giving the United States a larger proportion of the world's production With the price of gold set at $35 an ounce, this country pro duces only about six per cent of the world's total each year. Ike Vacations At Augusta AUGUSTA, Ga.

U PI I - Six persons were counted dead today mid an undetermined number ol hunters were trapped in a savage storm that dumped up to 17 in ches of snow across Montana. The latest storm-caused death came today when a Hardin, .Mont, man died in a car accident on ice- covered Bozeman Hill in South western Montana. Ground and air transportation was snarled, hunters were trapped in the wind-swept Rockies and housands of cattle were stranded by the swirling snow. The worst storm of the winter. packing 50 mile an hour winds when it broke out of the high mountain ranges, pushed toward he Northern and Central Plains and the upper Mississippi Valley today. Heavy snow warnings were post ed for portions of Nebraska and South Dakota with local accumu lations of more than four inches. The storm was expected to reach northwest Iowa tonight. The Montana blizzard left many hunters unreported. II o w e v e r. sheriff's officers said the hunters probably were not in. any serious trouble because of the relatively warm temperatures. A veteran stockman estimated 10,000 to 15,000 sheep and cattle were stranded in high mountain ranges. Riders expected to try today to get feed to the cattle. Air travel was halted because of poor visibility and many mo torists were forced to abandon tncir cars. All highway travel between Helena and Missoula across the Continental Divide was stopped by the Slate Highway Patrol and Monks Stranded; Hunting Party Attempts Rescue SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) - A hunting party led by a 45-year old grandmother hoped today to rescue two monkeys from the top of Union Railroad Station here. The rhesus monkeys have out witted station . personnel since Tuesday afternoon, when they - a,,u "mr nlnlr P'a'n paie Drown playful and active monkeys chewed their way out of their shipping crate. They were part of a group of 74 monkeys on their way to a laboratory death at the University of Cincinnati in the interests of polio research. "1 hope we do get them," Mrs. Richard Bclford, 45, prcsi dent of the Humane Society, said today. The other four were captured Wednesday when they walked nto an open oflice on the second Moor of the three-story toiminal otunda and someone shut the door. Since then all sorts of remedies have failed to get the other two. But their plight and reports that f captured they would face a certain laboratory death anyway may have won reprieves for them. The children of Savannah and the world would certainly feel let down if we let these monkeys die now," said Mrs. Sally Mood, wife of a vctcrinurian and chairman of the Humane Society's anti cruelly committee. Reich Fetes 4th Birthday BONN, Germany (UPI) The West German armed forces marked their fourth anniversary today, their numbers grown from 101 to more than 200.000. Those 101 men who gathered In a cold garage to be sworn in four years ago were top officers and non-coms from the Hitler Wehrmacht. There were two oth cr qualifications: They had to have clean wartime records and they had to be willing to give up ten-year civilian careers. Now, recruits and draftees have increased the forces to a point where they form a sizable contribution to NATO, although their strength Is nothing to com pare with the scores of divisions and thousands of ships and planes Hitler built up. Few among (he Germans or their allies welcomed the new army at its creation, because memories at home wcro too viv id of two lost wars. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer fought five years for the armed forces. He convinced the West the forces were necessary to face East German militarism.

An estimated 50 cars slid from the highway in the Hcllgatc Can yon between Missoula and Helena. The only other traffic fatality was a professional guitar player killed in a two-car crash near Billings. He was the fifth person to die as a result of the storm which howled down from Canada early Tuesday. Four Air Force fliers were killed when their F86 Scor pions crashed after running short of fuel. The storm was so bad at Helena that motorists abandoned their ars on city streets and trudged through 14 inch snow after chains and snow tires proved useless. The Weather Bureau at Helena aid the storm should let up to day. Prospector Tells Slaying Gold Seeker FLORENCE, Ariz. (UPI) - A grizzled, veteran gold prospector searching for the fabled Lost Dutchman Mine said Wednesday he killed another gold seeker in fire-from-thc-hip battle in the mountains. Sheriff's deputies left early to day for the Superstition Mountains to check out Ihe story told by Ed Piper who long has been involved in a running feud with crews led by former Los Angeles singer Mrs. Celeste Marie Jones. Mrs. Jones has been seeking the famed mine for years and gun fire between her crews and Piper has been frequent, said deputies. Piper told Pinal County deputies he fired his .33-caliber revolver from Ihe hip as the other man fired at him. He said he did not know the man's name, but that he was one of Mrs. Jones' guards. Deputies said they were holding Piper until his story could be checked. But he was not booked, they said. Deputy Ed Stark said he has had to venture into the wild moun tain country several limes to warn Piper and Mrs. Jones about shots being exchanged over mining rights in the area. Piper claimed a bullet creased his skull several months ago while he stood on Weaver's Needle, a towering shaft believed to be land mark in locating the lost mine. The mine is believed to be some where in rough terrain in central Arizona, about 50 miles east of Phoenix. Its location was lost with the death of the original finder.
