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.

Seaway Takes Seasonal Inventory;
Finds Dock Problems Limit Tonnage
CHICAGO (AP)-The first deep-
water season ot the St. Lawrence
Seaway was one of hurrahs and
headaches.
The huzzas greeted ocean ships
that steamed into Great Lakes
ports last spring. Those vessels
were pennant-spangled symbols of
the linking of North America's
vast interior with the sea lanes of
the world.

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

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

of 277 per cent.
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.

Silent Concert
Benefits Tour
DETROIT (AP) Silence was
almost golden Sunday night. 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.

As Most Critical For Fires
LAKEVIEW - The annual fire
season report completed by the
Fremont National Forest and re
leased by V.E. 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.
Borate, dropped from airplanes
was used on the orest for the
first time with a total of 271
flights by fixed wing aircraft and
seven by helicopter. Of 18 Fre
mont Forest fires on which the
borate was used, at least eight
would have become project fires

Dog Owners
Get Warning
Any dog roaming at large with
out a I960 license may be sent
to the pound where he will be
kept for five days. 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.
