-For lo these many years now

graphically as a kindly, bearded

sentation at the Legislature.
IN MY INSTANCES of contact
ing Kerbow in Salem or talking
with some of his colleagues, 1
find that he was highly regarded
as a legislator. He worked dili
gently at the job and must have
incurred personal sacrifice in the
performance of this service.
1 think his withdrawal is actu
ally based partly on this point of
monetary return and partly on
luture ambitions.
When asked if he would run
again for public office, Kerbow an
swered that he would, if the op
portunity presented itself.
It could be that Kerbow has his
eye on another political office.
'. While we are in this whimsical
vein we might as well paraphrase
Jl very poor pun.
i It would seem that Russia's mot

Or we'll kill you."
A not unlikely prospect at that.
For it seems that the world,
despite the anguished denials of
the do-gooders and the one-world-ers,
is not geared for peace but
for war.
V. Like the man who is afraid of
nigh places but can't resist the
thrill of standing on the cliff edge
and feeling the chills go up and
tyjwn his spine. We enjoy, appar
ently, the vicarious thrills we get
Jout of worrying about the hydro

he again urged the public espe

labor to do its part by recogniz

price rises and wage increases
that start the inflationary spiral

He stresses that this must be
done by an informed public itself
and not by any congressional at
tempts to control prices and wages.
Just how good are the times
thus threatened is pointed up in
the Department of Commerce 're
port that personal income in 1!)59
rose by 21 billion dollars over the
previous year to a record 380 bil

assumes a similar rise this year.
But inflation by hiking prices

public will heed his advice re

Many in Congress seem to see
little harm in inflation if it only
creeps as in recent years and to
regard it as a small price to pay
for increased economic growth.
Many Americans share this
view, concentrating on ine gain
in their incomes if they were
that lucky even while grumbling
about the rising cost of living.
Inflation is a naughty word.
But unless It gallops, few seem
to pay much heed to what causes

Speculation also is a naughty
word. But it usually is applied

Oregon's population is expected
lo increase by some 32.1,700 during
the next 10 years. During that pe
riod, it is anticipated that the state
will add 110,268 new households, an
increase of 16.3 per cent
This heavy growth in households
will mean that unprecedented buy

retailers by Win.
The pace-setting population and
household formation surges for the
state underscore the fact that the
area has great potentials in re
sources and opportunities.
A substantial percentage of
growth of households will be from
younger persons forming new
households and from persons of
retirement age continuing to main

Demands for goods and serv
ices far beyond Oregon's present
rate of production will be required

longingly at the vast China main
land. Before the war, some 20 per
cent of Japan's exports went to
China and 10 per cent of her im
ports came from there.
Japanese trade with Red China
today is a comparative trickle,
with the balance running against
Japan.
In contrast, Japanese U. S.
trade runs to approximately a
billion dollars annually, about
evenly divided between imports
and exports. Counting U. S. mil
itary and other expenditures, the
dollar balance is on Japan's side.
Nonetheless, the desire for trade
with Red China lingers on, and
eventually could become strong
enough to oust Kishi from his job.
In deciding what to do about
Red China, Japan also must de
cide what to do about the Na
tionalist Chinese government on
Formosa. Red China has made
formal recognition a condition for
re - establishing trade tics with
Japan,
Yet to recognize Peiping as the
official Chinese government would
mean to withdraw it from Taipei,
a step Kishi is unwilling to take
against another firm friend of the
United States.
Ambulance Siaiul
Klamath Falls (To the Editor)
Regarding the right of ambulances
to use red light, siren and speed-
as one who has had to employ
this service three times in the past
10 months, I am all for the lights
and siren.
These are both recognized by
everyone as emergency and every
one will yield the right of way to
them. That fact alone saves much
time that would otherwise be
lost.
As to speed, when there is an
emergency, I am for it if not an
emergency, then hold it down.

Pressing l'rbim
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
With the signing of the U. S,
Japanese security pact out of the
way, Japanese Prime Minister
Nobusuke Kishi must come to
grips with another pressing prob
lem what to do about Red
China.
A large part of Japanese pleas
ure in the new pact stems trom
the fact that it makes Japan a
full and equal partner of the Unit
ed Stales, a sovereign status not
enjoyed since World War II,
But the hostile demonstration by
extremist Japanese youths upon
Kishi's departure for Washington
and the loud voices of Japanese
Socialists also illustrate that the
new treaty is not universally popular.
The hostile extremists youths
follow the Communist Party
line and therefore would oppose
any close link with the United
States.
The Socialists, many of whom
also are anti-United States, feel
that the pact draws Japan away
from its area of greatest interest,
namely, Asia, and renders more
difficult the establishment of
Iriendly relations with Red China
The pressure lor closer tics with
Red China is both political and
economic, and is not limited to
the leftists.
A senior adviser in Kishi's own
Liberal-Democratic party, Kcnzo
Matsumura. recently returned to
Tokyo from an extended tour of
Red China and warned the Pei
ping regime will be "a mighty
power within five or 1(1 years."
"Why not face up to the real
ity that Communist China today is
an awakening nation?" he de
manded. "It is not wise to ex
clude her from international dealings."

Agency Plans
Space Probes
WASHINGTON (AP The civil
ian space agency plans to launch
four deep space probes and eight
scientific satellites during the next
fiscal year.
The plans were set forth today
in President Eisenhower's budget
message to Congress. It said the
spending program of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion will be nearly doubled next
year, to a new level of 600 million
dollars.
To" finance this and long-range
projects of future years, Eisen
hower asked . new appropriations
of 802 million. He proposed also a
supplemental congressional reduc
tion in the space program last
year.
The launching of four probes to
ward the moon or the planets,
along with the eight satellite ven
tures, is not a great advance In
numbers from the current pro
gram. It is a rate NASA hopes to
continue for the years ahead.
But . the new satellites and
probes will be more complex and
will be designed to gather more
advanced information.
"The areas receiving primary
emphasis in 1961 are the manned
space flight program Project
Mercury and the development of
very high thrust boosters . . . under
the Saturn and related projects,"
Eisenhower said.
