1 PAGE 8 B HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday, January 14, 1960 Boulder City, Nevada, Is Strange Paradox To Rest Of The State BOULDER CITY, Nev. (API- In this little city that grew up along with Hoover Dam, eight miles away You can't buy a lot and it's nearly impossible to rent a house; Gambling and hard liquor, legal elsewhere in Nevada, are against the law; and Unlike nearly all the Far West, this city has no water or power problem. There's no other place quite like it. After 29 years of federal admin istration. Boulder City became a self - governing municipality of 8,500 population by act of Congress last session. Under its unique charter, the city is now run by a council of five nonpaid residents. The councilmen, who look office Jan, 4, have complete control of the municipality, which owns every lot in town except sites of a government building, a school and a cemetery. Residents and businessmen own their buildings but not the land they occupy. Most commercial property is under 10-year lease Maximum lease for residential property' is 53 years. But, under the new charter, every leaseholder has a two-year option to buy his site at a price fixed by Federal Housing Admin istration appraisal. If he buys, the money will go to a municipal fund for capital improvements. The tot al appraisal is about $2,300,000. Those who don't wish to buy can extend their leases at 5 per cent interest. The government not only gave Boulder City its square mile of developed property but threw in 32 square (and empty) miles in which to expand. The council has six months to draft an over all plan for subdivision of this extra land. Thereafter the city can dis pose of large parcels to private developers, or it can go into the real estate business and subdivide the area itself. This gives Boulder City a chance to plot its development, street by street, house by house.

Boulder Cily's city manager is Curtis Blyth, also 33, chosen from 60 applicants. He gets $11,000 a year. Previously Blyth was city manager in Bayside, Wis., and Florence, Colo. "I think the Southwest is the growingest area in the country.' he says. "There's going to be no stopping it for many years come. I'd like to be a participant in it. The city's biggest job, he says, is real estate developing the 32 square miles bestowed by Con gress once the master plan is drawn. "We want to get the best plan- ners we can to come here and do it right. We have complete con trol, and we re starting with a community that already has been built by plan." Power from the dam and water from the lake are part of the fed- eral government's gift. Sale of water alone will yield the ciity $200,000 yearly. Tourists wilf be another source of revenue; 73,000 toured the dam last August, big gest month in its history. Thou sands more visited the lake. Light industry also will be sought, along with residents seek ing the clean air and clean, tree- lined streets of this community on a high plateau. Not quite everybody is certain that life will be more liberal now that the federal government no longer runs the town. Herb Knauss beer tavern proprietor, is one of those who will wait and see. "People here drink wet," says Knauss, "but they vote dry." : .MlW'ulrtl 111'. lti-iVl ti 1 imiinmnii if ill i in' r f ,t,mMmfi i i r "'ii' ti-fiftiMfcWT itmnftTii' ' r Ffi' i i rl f Walkingest Gal Off On New Trip JOHN O'GROATS, Scotland (AP) Dr. Barbara Moore, Britain's walkingcst woman, struck out to day on a 1,000-milc trudge from one end of Britain to the other.

Influenza Outbreaks Upset Community Body Found By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Outbreaks of mild influenza have upset community routine i;i various parts of the country, clos ing schools, dropping production, delaying justice, and perking up the sale of pills. Secretary of Welfare Arthur S. Flemming said Tuesday that nine states had reported outbreaks. In lour, the variety was Asian flu. Flemming named Texas, Ten nessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, California, Nevada, Utah and Ha waii. . There were signs that other tates might be added soon. The epidemiologist for Seattle, Wash., was concerned that it might hit his area. 'There has been a moderate spread of flu carried back to Seattle from Los Angeles by people who went to the Rose Bowl football game," Dr. R.T. Raven holt said. After Secretary Flemming's an nouncement, Dr. John Porterfield nf the Public Health Service said that Asian flu had been con firmed in Tennessee, Ohio, Michi gan and Hawaii. We do not think there will be as many cases as in the previous outbreak and they will not be as universal," he said. Two years ago, a winter epi demic of Asian flu spread over most of the country. In Los Angeles counly, the "Q- flu" kept 20 per cent of cily em ployes, 15 per cent of industrial workers, 10 to 15 per cent of stu dents, and 10 per cent of the teachers at home. Illness struck judges, jurymen, prosecutors, witnesses, and defen dants, causing a logjam in the courts. Health officials termed the virus the "Q-flu" because it has not been identified. The Q stands for, question mark. Influenza closed schools in Ten nessee's Perry County from Dec. 18 until last Monday. Columbus, Ohio, druggists re ported a thriving pill business as many residents walked about SEATTLE (AP) - The body of Mrs. Danielle Temple Morgan, 21, former Oak Ridge, Ore., woman who disappeared Dec. 15 two weeks after giving birlh lo a baby, was found washed up on a Puget Sound beach near here Tuesday.

U.S. Jewish Congress Hears Ike Rap NEW YORK, (AP)-Presidcnt Eisenhower, noting recent anti Semitic vandalism, says "the virus of bigotry." must not be al lowed "to spread one inch. In a message -read Tuesday night at an emergency meeting of the American Jewish Congress, Eisenhower said that when big otry "becomes rampant it c a n cause .the destruction of freedom and decency everywhere." 'In this age, when so much is expected and required of Ameri ca, we can ill afford to wasto a single day combating bigotry or prejudice at home," the President declared. The message was addressed to the National Conference of Christ ians and Jews in reply to a tele gram last Thursday from repre sentatives of the Protestant, Cath olice and Jewish faiths. They voiced concern to the President over the threat of religious big otry in politics and the anti-Semitic outbreaks. In a note read at the meeting, a White House aide, Gerald D. Morgan, said: "Like you, the President has been concerned about the recent outbreak of reli gious intolerance and views it with deep loathing." Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller wired the American Jewish Con gress: "The recent outbreak of vandalism of synagogues and churches is shocking. Every thinking person is indignant at these shameful acts and those responsible for these depredations in various parts of the world." At the Jewish Congress emer gency meeting, Protestant and Catholic leaders deplored the van dalism. A message from Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston said: "I know I speak for millions of Catholics when I offer my prayer ful sympathy to our Jewish friends and neighbors." Bishop James A. Pike of the Episcopal diocese of California, said in a message that every ef fort must be made to stamp out the anti-Semitic acts. He said they constitule a "reflection on the inadequacy of the teaching of Christians and others in regard to brotherhood and the common religious and ethical foundations of Judaism and Christianity." The Rt. Rev. Horace W. B. Donegan, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York, a principal speaker at the meeting noted that the huge Episcopal cathedral of St. John the Divine here recently had been smeared with the Star of David. With the mark was the inscription "An eye for an eye." "The prankster, neurotic or misguided individual" responsible for the marking would "scarcely have bothered," said Bishop Done gan, had he known that the Slar of David appears over 100 times in the cathedral. An official of the American Jewish Congress said the meeting was the first time that leaders of the major religious faiths in the Western Hemisphere discussed from the same platform the wave of synagogue defacements. The president of the American Jewish Congress, Dr. Joachi. Prinz, warned against underes timating the significance of the swastika daubings. They should not be dismissed, met tle said, "a mere fad like th hula hoop or rock V roll. T h cry of 'Death to the Jews' - em bodied In .the swastika is a darn gerous lyric for a rock 'a' roll number." President Eisenhower's sage said: "We deeply regret that the vi rus of bigotry seems to be ever present in the body politic. We can not ignore it nor can we allow it to spread one inch. For when it becomes rampant it can cause the destruction of freedom and decen cy , everywhere. "Hi this age, when so much is expected and required of America. we can ill afford to waste a single day combating bigotry or preju dice at home. United in a common purpose, in free and responsible teamwork between those of all races, of all faiths and of all na tionalities, we will continue seek ing to advance the general wel fare of all our people and our neighbors abroad."
