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

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.

along a bottle of Cabernet or Bar

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.

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.

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."

Polaris Shot
Hits Target
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (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.
