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.
The fire broke out shortly after
S a.m., and was placed under
control in 20 minutes.

FORT WORTH, Tex. (UPI
The battle of the sexes has

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

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."

Snow Removal
Plan Told
YREKA Sen. 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.

YREKA First matter of busi

County Board of Supervisors at
their recent meeting was the pro

vict trustees in the Fort Jones
area. The board later stated it had
no jurisdiction over the question
Last week, A. Roy Bengard,

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.

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

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.

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

The mine is believed to be some
