WYNNE Washington, D.C., becomes the center ot the nation's limelight .-again with the reconvening of Con cress. The august chambers of the House and the Senate will rever berate again with the sound of de bate and discussion as more laws arc hammered out to govern the country. It would be a difficult task to pinpoint what goals should be as (piled to by the present Congress. However, prior to departing for Washington to resume his post in the Senate, Senator Netiberger list ed five goals which certainly will pose tremendous challenges to the Congress. Mr. Werner pointed out an in THE SENATOR listed the five, in his estimation, as these: 1. A positive foreign policy as suring peace and justice. 2. Reduction of the federal farm program spending with more fair division of benefits. 3. A voluntary health insurance program under social security. 4. Sufficient federal revenue to keep the nation's budget balanced. 5. Greater support for science, education and basic research. ALL FIVE GOALS are admir able and to be desired. But, they all point to one thing . . , more taxes. A voluntary health Insurance pro gram under social security is go ing to cost more money. The ad vantages of such a program should thus be weighed carefully against the money such a program will cost, and then also considered carefully from the standpoint ol where the money for such a pro gram will come from. Greater support lor science, ed ucation and basic research will also demand more federal spend Ing. Either that, or it must be done at the expense of something else, perhaps defense spending, Reduction of the federal farm program is also desirablo as goal. By more fair division ot bene fits is meant, I presume, wider crop support programs instead o( just a few basic crops, Here, too, the Congress must ei ther rut down on what is being f pent now and divide it more wide ly, or add lo spending by includ ing new crops in the parity pro gram. This could mean more tax es. The clue, I feel, lies In the fourth of the five goals, namely, sufficient federal revenue to keep the nation's budget balanced. THIS HAS BEEN the puzzler for every administration. Whether it's a tax on gasoline, liquor, cigarettes, sales, property, income or corporations, it boils down to the same source . . . the people. Every tax levied Is eventually rassed on to the consumer. I wish Senator Ncuberger had Included at least one more goal In his list. That goal should have been, "Re duct ion ot federal spending by re duction ot federal agencies and their activities." That plank I could buy whole heartcdly. It is that goal that must become the top goal if this nation is to avoid national bankruptcy or national socialism. foresting fact. The two teams on the panel were choosing between imported still wines averaging more than three dollars a bottle and Sebastiani wines averaging about $1.62 a bottle, and sparkling wines which cost nearly seven dol Jars for the imported compared with less than three dollars for the Samuelc Sebastiani sparkling burgundy and champagne which re tail on the average of $2.65 a bot tle. At the end of the judging, it was found that the Samuele Sebastiani champagne got 28 points for the highest rating of any wine tasted by the eight panel members. SS Vin Rose was served at lunch eon (to those who had not brought along a bottle of Cabernet or Bar bera from the tasting in the Em pire Room of the Wmema Hotel) Mr. Harold Hulse. manager of the Winoma, was thanked by the So roplimist Club for his splendid co operation and by popular request the chef. Earl Holseybrook, came in for a bow. Cliff Nelson should not be for gotten for his cooperation in ar ranging for glasses for the crowd which numbered approximately 100 yesterday noon. Ray Worden. distributor here for the Sebastiani wines (and others) was on hand to assist. If this sounds something like a testimonial it is. W Uw Tasting By FLORENCE JENKINS It is unfortunate that wine-last ing parties must be invitational and that the group must be limit ed to the capacity of the dining room serving the accompanying meal. Carl Werner, Oregon representa tive of Hie Wine Advisory Board of California, was in Klamath Full on Wednesday and Thursday to put on the w ine service for the Shrine dinner on Wednesday evening and the Soroptimlst Club wine-tasting on Thursday. Mr. Werner Is the maestro m Oregon, without question. His shorl explanatory remarks about the Samuelc Snbastiani wines which were served told about the type: of wine, the grapes from which the wines are made and the accepted manner of tasting. It came as no surprise lo Mr Werner that the Sebastiani wines received more votes from the two teams of four in the "What's My Wine" panel than the foreign wines received. He expected that result. The Experts and the Vpstarts were told to pick up their prize wines from Drews' Manstore and Boys' Wear Store, because the win iters had not been ascertained at the end of Thursday's luncheon John II. Houston stood by with his notarial seal to attest lo the ver ity of the ballots. However, aside from the fact that the California wines won, the total points of each learn had lo be added. After all each of the eight persons on the panel had 16 wines to taste and judge. I lives! gallons Mmmmm'! Klamath Falls (To the Editor) Since the days of olde when Ye Court Jester plucked his lute and sang more or less ribald songs and indulged in legerdemain and other hokum to entertain Ye Knights and Ladies, show business has been for entertainment pur poses only. It consists of various degrees of talent, some hokum, illusion and deception. Now, when the court jester was not on hand to entertain, literature of the period was perused and eval uated as of now, and many s the lady-in-waiting who was found curled up with the pages as she wuitcd being called to attendance on the queen, and even if the jes ter's ellorls were crude and his deception also, no one ever hol lered "What Ho! Good King, this show is rigged." ' Nay, nay, they applauded if they liked it and if not, went in search of more pleasant entertainment. Now we have investigations. We find chicanery prevalent in the land. It seems a disgruntled actor who did not have the color and did not win as much as his oppon ent, tipped the dear old apple cart smack dab into the street. Then the big winner confessed all, while a gentleman of the cloth who net ted a neat stipend, also testified the show was rigged, excusing him self the while with the statement that at least the money he won, doing the good that it did for his lellow man, ottered some extenuat ing circumstances. Now about the only good accom plished by this exposo is, we find there is no law covering this bit ot impure business. So the real benefits, and we use the word with trepidation, is that a lot of programs that at least in spired the theory that a little knowledge was a dangerous thing to he without, have been dropped. These programs had caused many people to consult cncyclopcd ias and almanacs in a search to see if the contestants were wrong and thereby profited and broad encd their education. This sort of thing was knocked off the channels, lo be replaced by a lot of mediocre westerns and detective stories whose chief claim to fame is the exploitation of may hem and murder. This, 1 doubt, is elevating the thinking of our small fry. The most asinine bit of business comes after the features, when an apologetic voice informs us that the audience response was partially simulated and augmented by arti ncial means. Why the heck don they go all the way and enlighten us poor heathen. with the kiddies, the murders you have Just witnessed were only make believe. The guns were load en with blanks, the chairs broken over the heads of those saloon brawlers were constructed of balsa wood of which there is nothing lighter and softer, and children I he drinks were just apple cider recommended by five New York doctors And wouldn't it be enlightening when one attends the opera and Doctor Faustus gets his comeup pance m hades, if some soft voiced individual would explain to tne dear gullible public, "The scene you just witnessed was not really hell, the fire was simulated by blowing lycopodium powder over a bunsen burner. The man in the red hat was not really the devil, but a highly respected mem ber of the Actors Guild, the father of three fine children and the sole upport of his mother-in-law." Yes, if we are going to be par ticular, let's go all out. H. II. Cook. 4840 South Sixth Street. riirisl in. -is Tree By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) There's something missing in our house. Two corners of our living room look awfully empty. They are here our Christmas trees stood. Perhaps it is now a little too late or far too early to talk about Christmas. Most people get a bit surfeited with the holiday season, the hysteria of giving and receiv ing, the repetition of the carols and expressions of good cheer, the sometimes forced atmosphere of gaiety. They are a bit glad to say good by to it all, and to get down to the bedrock effort and resumption ot routine that comes with the New Year. But somehow Christmas never hits me harder than when the time comes to take down the tree. There is somclhing so irretriev ably final about defrocking this woodland Cinderella, center for so brief a lime of hearth and heart, and tossing her into the nearest ashcan. It makes me feel almost like a traitor to my better nature. It seems like an act of disloyalty. This year for the first time we had two Christmas trees, and both were perfect. One was a tall, elegantly spare spruce. The other was of shimmering aluminum. The evergreen tree was for our selves and our 6-year-old daughter frucy Ann. You can t beat a real tree for people. Nothing else quite satisfies them. The metal tree was for our 15- month-old cat, Lady Dottie. Last year she kept overturning our pine Christmas tree by climbing it and trying to snatch the baubles off its boughs. We figured this year that if we gave her a tree of her own she would behave better. And, sure enough, she did. She understood very quickly that the aluminum tree was her very own. Our only problem was that she kept gnaw ing at the metal leaves until I was afraid her ribs would turn silver. in the House chamber during the speech. Nobody knows how many others were secretly picturing themselves in Eisenhower's place at the rostrum. I wouldn't want to accuse any one of politicking on the Presi dent's time, but a couple of Dem ocrats sure made the most of the audience he had attracted after the speech was over. First to check in was Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon, the lead ing Republican contender. As head of the visiting Senate dele tion, he got his title mentioned orally loudly, that is by House doorkeeper William M. (Fishbait) Miller. Miller announced the entrance of each group of dignitaries in the style and accent of a Mississippi station master calling trains. Mistah spcakah," he bawled, the vice prezadunt and mem- bahs of the Senate!" Thus heralded, senators from both the South and North filed in two-by-two, like members of a wedding party or animals enter ing the ark. Up front was Demo cratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson Tex.), another of the hopeful live. Johnson also got special men tion by Nixon, who, in a softer voice than Miller's, appointed his possible future rival to the com mittee which escorted the Presi dent into the chamber. Nobody individually mentioned Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey ID Minn.), but he made up for this oy arriving conspicuously late and making a solo entrance. Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) distin guished himself by sitting apart from senators in the rear row. I'was unable to detect anything exceptional about the actions of Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.). However, normal behavior in it self is unusual for someone said to be eyeballing the White House. After the speech, Kennedy and Humphrey, the only announced candidates, lingered in the cham ber, shaking hands and slapping backs of well-wishers. They ap peared to be waiting each other out. Slowly working their way to ward the doors, Humphrey and his group and Kennedy and his group almost collided at one point. The two campaigners studi ously ignored each other and headed up separate aisles. For whatever significance it I may have, Kennedy won this pre- J liminary skirmish. He stayed in the chamber for 20 minutes after the President left, or eight min utes longer than Humphrey. On his way out, Humphrey no ticed that some of us newsmen were still in the press gallerv en joying the performance. Reaching into nis coat pocket, he extracted a piece of cardboard and jocular ly waved it. It was a sign he had snitched from one of the reserved seats and it had two words: "White House."

(AP) A Polaris missile, using a new self-contained guidance system, was launched on a successful 900 mile flight Thursday night. The success was a significant step in developing the Polaris as a nuclear punch .for ocean-roving submarines. For the first time, the Polaris was directed to its target by the inertial guidance system which will be used in the operational vehicles. Previous Polaris test rockets employed command guid ance from ground stations. The Navy announced the suc cessful flight, ninth in 24 launch- ings .for the advanced two-stage version of this submarine weapon. The missile is expected lo be ready for combat duty aboard nu clear submarines late this year. The first of the Polaris-carrying atomic subs, the George Wash ington, was commissioned last month.- Eight others are under construction. New Submarine Commissioned ' VALLEJO, Calif., (AP) - The nation's first atom-powered sub marine capable of firing the Reg- ulus guided missile from under waler is in service. The submarine Halibut was commissioned here Monday. Built at Mare Island Naval Ship yard the Halibut was launched Jan. 9, 1959, and has made sever al successful sea trials. Train Rams Bus; 15 Die, 39 Hurt WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Fif teen persons were killed and 39 injured when a passenger train rammed into a crowded bus Wednesday night at Opele, in southwest Poland.
