Welfare M ovo
By FLOYD L. WYNNE
I take my hat off to Dallas and
Polk County!
They arc approaching the wel-
fare problem the way it should be
tackled.
For the first time since WPA
days, able-bodied men on the wel
fare roll in Polk County began
work today on public projects un
der the county's new work-relief
program.
It's a pilot program and the
first of its kind in the state.
The Oregon Welfare Commission
lias authorized the county to drop
from the welfare rolls all men
who refuse to work or work in an
unsatisfactory manner.
a more realistic approach to our
problems.
THE PROGRAM is designed to
provide work for willing and able
workers on the county rolls. .
Workers are paid about $8 per
day and work in rotation in re
lationship to the number of de
pendents. The work program is designed
as a substitute for welfare aid and
does not interfere with jobs held
by regular county employes.
IT IS ALSO DESIGNED to
make work more attractive than
welfare.
Polk Counly and welfare offi-
cials say there are about 45 men
now on the county lists eligible
for the program. The number is
about one-half that o last year.
Officials believe that the
program already has caused a
number of general welfare recip
ients to depart the county.
I WOULD RECOMMEND that
the program be given careful con
sideration by our own Welfare
Commission.
The counly certainly has a num
ber of jobs that can be done by
men willing to work, jobs that will
not throw any other county em
ployes out of work, but jobs that
are simply not now being done.
If a man is on welfare truly be
cause he is unable to find a job,
then he will welcome the oppor
tunity to earn the money instead
of having to take charity.
If he's on welfare because it's
the easier way, he'll soon change
his mind and save the taxpayers
some money.
It will separate the worker from
the loafer, in plain English.

Civil lfiiK
By FLORENCE JENKINS
If this area were to be attacked
by manned enemy aircraft, rest
dents of the Klamath Basin would
have from 30 minules to three
hours warning, according to Mal
colm H. MacEwan, public informa
lion officer for the stale Civil De
fense department.
He came from Salem this week
to spend some time with Joe
Searles, county chairman for CI
vil Defense, and to meet with a
new volunteer women's organiza
tion being set up in Klamath
Counly.
It is a matter of accepted fact
that education on Civil Defense
matters can be disseminated most
successfully by means of school
children and women of the com
munities.
Under the present set-up, the
first warning will come over Con
elrad simply dial G40 or 1240 on
jour radio.
Survival, in case of enemy at
tack or a major disaster, is a fam
ily matter. Civil Defense recom
mendations cull for at least a two
weeks supply of food on hand at
all times. The supply should be
checked at least once a month and
rotated regularly. Canned foods
should include fruit juices, fruits,
vegetables, soups, meals, fish.
beans, cheese, peanut butter, bev
erages, instant coffee, instant tea
and instant cocoa. Dry foods would
include powdered nonfat dry milk
solids, crackers, cookies, cereals
salt and sugar. Bottled water
should be changed every six weeks
or less.
In case of contaminated water,
Mr. MacEwan called attention to
the fact that the water in a hot
water storage tank would probably
provide a supply of good water
us long as it lasts.
- Because of our close proximity
to California, plans ara underway
to make Civil Defense facilities and
personnel cooperative between the
Tulclake Basin and Klamath Falls
areas. The same cooperative plans
have been worked out between
Portland, Oregon, and Vancou
ver, Washington, areas through the
county courts of Multnomah and
Clark counties, Mr. MacEwan
staled.
In the stato picture, Klamath
County occupies an unusual posi
tion because of the large suburan
population and interchange of busi
ness across the state line.
For that reason, the chapter of
Instructions for this county, pro
posed by the stato Civil Defense
organization, is being rewritten for
Lp Year Tip
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP)-This is Leap
Year, and millions of coy and mil
itant maidens are searching for a
successful way to win a husband
Lady, do you really aspire to
lead a man to the altar in 1960
To do it you don't need to pour
him a voodoo love potion or re
sort to strange feminine wiles.
All you need to land a guy
some guy anyway is to learn four
words. These are the words:
'Make him feci important."
That is the greatest secret of
successful courtship which, as has
been wisely pointed out, consists
of a man chasing a woman until
she catches him.
But hundreds of thousands of
marriage-hungry girls will miss
the mark. No wedding bells will
ring for them. And why? Because
they will use the wrong technique
They will scare the poor fish
away.
Most will do it by making one
of two errors: either they will put
themselves too much on a pedes
tal or they will become too over
bearing and possessive.
The too-coy girl is the china-
doll type. From birth her mommy
and daddy have treated her as
something special and precious
She grows up believing this her
selfall girls do to a considerable
extent and instead of becoming
a real flesh-and-blood woman she
winds up a kind of fragile Dres
den figurine.
No ordinary man is quite good
enough for her. She thinks of her
self as a kind of Cinderella.
There aren't enough ready-
made princes, or romantic young
millionaires, to go around. And
those that are around aren't look
ing for a spoiled, eternally adoles
cent girl for a wife. At 40, this
kind of dame is still wistfully
pounding a typewriter, goes home
at night to a cat for company and
is bitterly convinced all men are
bums.
The second type the dominant
girl frightens potential husbands
away by turning on her feminine
power loo soon. She starls bossing
her beau right away. She brags
she can twist her daddy around
her little finger, and makes cute
remarks such as, "You men you
never grow up. You're such little
boys. You all have to be mothered."
The Leap Year lass who will
wind up middle-aisling it will, on
the other hand, be the one who
can make her guy feel really Im
portant in himself and not just a
male acessory to her ego.
Anti-semitism is a subject from
which most Germans recoil, for
of all the excesses of Hitlerism,
that left perhaps the greatest
.lain.
But there has remained a hard
core of anti-semitism. German of
ficials insist it does not repre
sent by any means the majority
feelings of West Germans, and is,
in fact, probably no worse than in
other nations which do not have
a history of Nazism.
On a visit to West Germany
last spring, this correspondent was
told of anti-semitic incidents, and
of the severity with which Ger
man courts deal with such.
But, perhaps because of its re
cent history, there is a differ
ence of opinion in German offici
aldom and among Jews them
selves as to how these incidents
should be treated.
A Jewish acquaintance illustrat
ed one side of the argument when
he told of a Jewish restaurant own
er who returned to Germany
after several years in Israel and
attempted to resume in his old
business. It prospered until his
religion became known and then
a boycott finally bankruplcd him.
The case was not one that could
bo taken to the courts, and the
acquaintance who told the story
was grateful that it could not be
"It just starls something else.
he said.
But there are others who be
lieve action of the courts should
bo even more severe.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
regime has been accused of turn
ing its back on rising anti-semitism,
but rejects the charge.
The regime feels itself caught
between two fires. If it outlaws
neo-Nazi or nationalist parties, it
drives them underground. If it
curbs freedom of speech, it is
accused of being anti-democralic.
Horror City
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
About a half hour out of Mu
nich, in rolling farm country
which eventually gives way to the
Alps, lies the pleasant little Ba
varian town of Dachau.
Houses of yellow stucco nestle
close together In the manner of
German villages, and Ihere is no
hint of the horror that went on
there 20 years ago. Some of the
villagers claim that even at the
time, they had no knowledge of
the fact that thousands upon thou
sands of Jews were dying in the
gas ovens of Dachau.
The gas chambers still stand as
a horrible memento to Germans
of the sins of Adolf Hitler, whose
Nazi swastika emblem once more
is appearing on synagogue walls,
on Jewish shrines and on the
homes of some of the 30.000 Jews
remaining in West Germany.
Some six million Jews died at
the hands of the Hitlerites before
the Nazis finally were crushed by
the World War II Allies in 1945.
and today in West Germany there
are laws lo insure that never
again can anti-semitism run ram
pant as it did under Hitler.
Under The llutf
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) The coun
try, says Minnesota's Sen. Hubert
Humphrey, is suffering from com
placency and has been (ever since
1953 when President Eisenhower
took office.
Humphrey, who wants to move
into Iho White House on the Dem
ocratic ticket, says the next presi
dent "is going to inherit a series
of problems that have been swept
under the rug where they have
been festering and intensifying.
If Humphrey is right that the
country has been complacent for
almost seven years who is re
sponsible: The Eisenhower admin
istration or the people?
The two Arthur Schlesingers, fa
ther and son and both professors
of American history, have written
that history moves in cycles: that
a period of intense feeling and
activity or crisis is always fol
lowed by one of calm while new
forces and frustrations and de
mands build up. Under this pres
sure, the calm eventually yields
to a period of new and progres
sive action.
After the fierce activity of World
War I and President Wilson's
struggle for the League of Nations
the country seemed deliberately to
want peace and quiet. It elected
Warren G. Harding and then Cal
vin Coolidge.
For most of the 1920s there was
quiet, and increasing prosperity
This could be called a complacent
period, too. It came to a shocking
end with the crash of 1929 and
the depression which called for
action.
Franklin D. Roosevelt promised
action. The nation turned to him
ind the rapid remedies of the
New Deal. But there was to be no
calm, Hitler created crises. The
nation kept Roosevelt, in 1936 and
again in 1940, as the war fear
spread.
Then war. The nation still kept
Roosevelt in 1944. When he died
President Truman carried on

through the war's end and into
the turbulent late l'J40s when there
was no real quiet at home or
abroad.
At home Democrats and Repub
licans fought like cats and dogs
Abroad the Soviets piled up crises,
The people kept Truman in 1948,
Then came McCarthyism and Ko
rea, both of which began in 1950.
By the time Eisenhower ran for
oifice in 1952 the country, torn
down the middle by McCarthyism
und anxious for an end to the kill
ing in Korea, was saturated with
conflict and crises which extended
unbrokenly back to 1929.
It would be no wonder if the
nation, without consciously realiZ'
ing it, wanted then a period of
calm in which it could live without
tension.
It got that pretty much under
Eisenhower except for the con
tinuing tension with Red China
and the Soviet Union and the seg
regation struggle in the South.
The racial struggle was precipi
tated not by the public or the ad
ministration but by the Supreme
Court.
The court, in turn, could be said
to be reflecting the pressure of
racial unrest and tension, build
ing up since the Civil War, and
through its decision sought to
bring this turmoil to an end, too.
But suggesting that compla
cencyif that's the name for it
was handed down from above
by Eisenhower is to overlook a
very important factor which gives
an insight into the mood of the
nation.
The record of Congress since
1953 it has been run by Demo
crats since 1954 has not been a
period of . intensity, innovation,
experimentation, or startling
changes. It has been pretty much
a rock-along period.
This might indicate Congress
was complacent except for one
thing: Congress reflects the mood
of the people, who showed they
liked the calmness by reelecting
Eisenhower in 1956.
If the Eisenhower administra
tion alone had been complacent
but not the people then the people
would have been pressuring Con
gress for action in a dozen fields
which have been glossed over, de
layed, or pushed aside.
The most important factor in
the 1960 elections next November
after making allowance for the
importance of the personalities
and records of the candidates
will be the mood of the country.
If it feels the need for sharp
action and an abandonment of its
present mood, the party which
promises to fill the new require
ments will stand the best chance.
At this moment it's questionable
that the nation wants to abandon
its present mood of rock-along.
