Reds Prepare Missile Move WASHINGTON (AP) - The Soviet Union's newly announced rocket tests in the central Pacific nay be the start of a new cam paign ot missile diplomacy. It niay be aimed to impress Asian nations as well as the United Stales and European countries. U.S. officials note that the Mos cow warning for ships and aircraft lo remain out of the target zone between Jan. 15 and Feb. 15 neat ly brackets two important diplo matic events: 1. The formal signing of a new 10-year security treaty between ihe United Slates and Japan scheduled to take place at the White House on Jan. 19. Japan'si Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi and President Eisenhower will be present. 2. The 10-day visit of Soviet Pre mier Nikila Khrushchev to neutral Indonesia, due to begin in mid February. Any prestige gathered by spec tacular space accomplishments would come, loo, just ahead of a series of European diplomatic riegotations leading up to next May's four-power summit confer ence and Eisenhower's visit to the Soviet Union in June. Another less immediate objec tive may be a Soviet desire to boost Communist prestige in Asia following the grdat success of Eisenhower's recent visit to South Asia. Psychologically tha Soviet rock et move could also be expected to call attention to the presence of Soviet fleet units in the Pacific high seas area, generally recog nized as having been under U.S. control since World War II. Khrushchev has cautioned Japan in the past of what he de scribed as the dangers of a mili tary alliance with the United States. Also Khrushchev told former New York Gov. W. Averell Harri man last year during a Moscow interview that the Soviet Union would support Communist China with rockets if necessary in any trouble over Formosa. Burned Agency Operating Again LAKEVIEW Collins Chevrolet destroyed by fire New Year's Day was back in business Friday, Jan nary 9, in the Graham-Mercer building in Lakeview. Rebuilding on a site close to the burned-out location is planned by Dan Collins. He reported an est imated loss of $80,000, partially covered by insurance. Dan and his brother, John Collins, opened their garage business in 1953 and their first shop at the same lo cation was burned in July, 1955. Since October I, 1959, Dan has owned the business alone and John has a contract clearing a dam site near Prineville. During the past year the firm grossed more than a million dot lars with sales of new and used cars and trucks totalled at 563 units. There were no new units on hand at the time of the fire due to the steel strike. The Chev rolet Company is helping him to resume his business in the tem porary location.

The Associated Press has made a survey of port cities, looking back to the 1959 season that ended Dec. 3 and ahead to the 1960 sea son that will open about April 1. The main findings: Export and import volume in the ports rose to record levels. But tonnage through the seaway the 185-mile stretch of canals and river between Montreal and Lake Ontario fell short of expec tations. The total was 20,103,767 tons. That is 20 per cent under advance estimates ot 25 million but far above the 10 million or so tons in recent years. There is not so much blithe talk about the future now that the his toric opening year has passed But some planners are moving along the line suggested by the old gambling challenge "Put your money where your mouth is' and investing millions in port betterment. Here, in brief, are reports from a dozen ports: Ocean cargo topped 200.000 tons in 19o9 at both Milwaukee and Cleveland, tripling their 1958 to tals. Chicago's export-import business added up to 784,206 tons of gener al and bulk cargoes, exclusive of grain. That more than doubled the figure for the previous year. Grain exports shot up to 384.412 tons from a meager 18.384 tons. Buffalo's tonnage soared to 108, 2G7 from 12,650 the previous sea son. Toledo's direct overseas freight totaled 115,383 tons, a gain Jaycees Pick 3 Candidates The Klamath Falls Junior Cham ber of Commerce has picked three candidates to vie for an award to be presented to the county's out standing young farmer of 1959 dur ing an awards banquet January 22 beginning at 6:45 p.m. in the ban quet room of the Willard Hotel. The first name to be released was that of Duane Blackman, 32 who lives and farms five miles south of Klamath Falls near High way 39. ...... 1 Blackman and his partner, Karl Dehlinger, have upped average po tato yield from 275 sacks per acre to 325 since they began lo farm 600 acres in 1957, Jaycees say. They congratulated Blackman for judicious use of crop rotation and fertilization. Blackman and Dehlinger annu- ly lease 14,000 acres of land local ly. They sublet all but the 600 acres. Blackman began working for Dehlinger in 1945. The pair since formed a partnership. They experi ment with farming techniques in cooperation with the Soil Conser vation Service. The candidate has a wife, Dar lene, and three children. He is a member of Ml. Laki Community Church, the Elks Club, the local chapter of Junior Farmers, the Farm Bureau and the Parent- Teacher Association. He was born and schooled locally, Blackman and Dehlinger also are partners in operating the Cra tcr Lake Potato Distributors Com nany near the Merrill-Lakeview Junction.

General cargo export-import traffic at Duluth, Minn., and next door Superior, Wis., increased to 16,381 tons, while grain exports totaled 86 million bushels, almost three times the preseason fore cast. Muskegon, Mich., with 45,000 tons of foreign freight, doubled its 1958 business. Some ports handled their first shipments from overseas. Erie, Pa., had 6,359 tons of export-import freight. At the twin ports of Port Arthur and Fort William in Ontario foreign vessels landed 25, 000 tons of general cargo and car ried away 31 million bushels of Canadian grain. Foreign ships had hauled off slightly more than one million bushels in 1958. Increasing export and import volume added up to 8,500,000 Ions in Montreal at the eastern end of the seaway. Foreign cargo totaled 251,000 tons in Hamilton, Out., sev eral times the 1958 handle, and more than double in Toronto in reaching a record 700.882 tons. Calls at Great Lakes ports by vessels in overseas trade in creased from 20 to almost 50 per cent. They ranged from 22 at Erie, Pa., and 51 at Bay City, Mich., to 522 at Chicago and 583 at Tor onto. The ships were larger, too, be cause seaway canals have been deepened from 14 feet to 27 Eastern ports watched competi tion gel off to a modest start along what has been termed "the new North Coast." New York and Boston reported it had little effect on them. Philadelphia's general cargo volume held to 1958 levels but grain exports declined. The Maryland Port Authority commented: "Baltimore has suf fered mostly in grain and coal ex ports, along with the loss of some general cargo." The upturn in seaway traffic didn't touch off a wild boom, but it did bring benefits. In Milwaukee it has been estimated the seaway brought more than 2'4 million dol lars in additional money into the city and created 200 new jobs half of them on harbor installa tions and the others on docks. The big bottleneck was at the Welland Canal, a link between Lakes Ontario and Erie that de tours Niagara Falls. As many as 60 ships at one time wailed for passage. Delays ranged up to 72 hours. i Improvements are under way at a cost of $7,500,000, aimed at a 25 per cent expansion oi ine canal's current capacity of 28 ves sels a day. Other programs of the money- in-hand variety, some already in progress, include: Chicago, dock improvements. $7,000,000; Milwaukee, pier and rail track projects, $7,500,000; Cleveland, dock and crane addi tions, $500,000; Toledo, terminal and grain elevator development, $7,000,000; Port Huron, Mich., port development, $300,000. The Canadian government Is constructing an $8,500,000 seaway terminal at Port Arthur-Fort Wil liam. Montreal harbor officials are working on a five-year develop ment plan involving an outlay of $66,000,000.

It cost up to five bucks a ticket. The occasion was a "silent rec ord concert and recording ses sion" with benefits going to the University of Detroit Chorus lout fund. While the silence from the stage was punctuated by some ramer loud noises, the audionce churned up sound waves with laughter and applause. Much of it was for TV comedian Henry Morgan, who tip-toed onto the stage in stocking feet and de livered a silent monologue, then erupted into some loud witticisms. The U. of D. chorus gave a silent rendition of "When the Saints Come Marching In." But a record billed as "Scottish Highland Si lence" produced the loud wail of bagpipes. The program was an outgrowth from a silent record craze that started at the University ot De troit when students complained that jukeboxes in the Student Un ion interfered with studying. Rec ords were produced which gave three minutes' silence for a dime. Some were played so often they produced noisy needle scratches and had to be replaced. The program requested ladies to remove their costume jewelry so it wouldn't clank. But then the audience of about 600 in a down town theater was urged to take part in shouting the chorus from an ancient Greek play wnicn somehow became involved In the program.

Taylor, fire con trol officer, lists the summer of 1959 as the most critical fire sea son on record. There were 31 man-caused fires during the season, as compared to an average of 28 during the previous 10 years. Of the 31, six were attributed to hunters, com pared with 16 of the year before. The low figure of the past season was attributed to vigorous patrols during the hunting season. Lightning storms were fewer during the season, but most were the dry lightning type which touched off 61 blazes. The 10-year average had been 78. Total of all fires in 1959 was 92 as com pared to the 5-ycar average of 100. Commercial forest lands hit by fire during the past season totaled 1,580 acres burned and 212,670 acres damaged, with 768 acres burned and 475 damaged on non commercial forest lands.

If the dog is not claimed by that time, he may be given a new home, or exterm inated. The effective dale for this action is not March 1, as many people believe. It was January I 10 days ago. This information comes from Bill Schlcgel. county poundmaster, who said many people don't understand the law. The law does not give dog owners a two-month grace period before obtaining a license, as many people believe. The law says dogs must be licensed by January 1. The law does say owners may buy licenses without penalty be fore March 1 but the same law says dogs eight months or older by January 1 must be licensed by that time. The cost of licenses is $2 for males and spayed females: S3 for females. The penalty imposed after March 1 is another $2. Licenses may be obtained either from Ihe county clerk's office or from Ihe county pound at 2853 Memorial Drive. Schlcgel also emphasized that any dog living in the county must be licensed, whether he lives in the city, suburban area, or on a ranch.
