At this week's meeting of the various timber agencies and oper ators the distressing fact was .brought to light that all that glit Hers is not gold and all that grows -green in the forest is not neces sarily fodder for the Basin mills. i. The problem is far from a new "one and the answer is as old as .mankind. It is simply a matter "of better transportation ,. Focal point of this particular meeting when it came lo the prob- .Jem of transport was the Diamond -Lake Highway. That little skein of ."gravel and oil that stretches from 1he junction on Highway 97 to Cpiamond Lake and, eventually, on 'fiver the plateau and down the Umpqua to Roseburg. f- This highway could be the main t!-.-.... r- 1-. .. i,..i jr it iarlery for log hauls if it weren't -for one thing it isn't built to 5land heavy loads. It was built originally as a tourist pathway .ind with the exception of some spe vtial permits issued during dry .'.Weather for reduced load hauling -the road has never served as a Jog route. -. There can be no doubt that .'ich a road would be a great as -net to the Klamath Basin in the Jecc of current tight limber situa Aion simply because it would en able local firms to bid on timber further away and still make a .profitable haul drunken driving a felony if any one other than the driver is in jured in an accident and allowing the fact that a person refused to allow chemical tests for intoxica tion be admitted as evidence in court cases. FRIDAY, Senator Anthony Ytur ri of Ontario said that work on a bill aimed at curbing drunken driving was "off to a good start" after a draft of a proposed com pulsory chemical test law was read to the Legislative Highway Interim Committee. The measure provides that any one applying for a driver's license would automatically give his con sent to chemical test for alcohol in case of arrest. J'resent Oregon law requires written consent from a suspecL be fore the test can be made. Under the proposed measure, a Iriver's license could be revoked prior to trial if he failed to allow the testing. the But most important of all the item points up a hard fact that ,ve are going to have to face soon er or later. And the time is get ting sooner than you might think, practically all our timber today 5s under , sustained yield manage ment. This means a certain Amount each year, each decade, each cutting cycle or however you Jerin it. A certain amount of bor rowing from year to year can be done, but it has to be repaid tater if borrowed now. In short there isn't going to be any great increase in our timber supply jn the near future despite intensi lied management plans. '' Add to this the fact that there Js a growing demand for more iid more national parks, national .monuments and wilderness areas Without exceplion these all re mote the limber from the market lor all tjme. Such a park in the -Volcanic region of the Deschutes Js now being proposed which would take 20 percent of that for st's reserves of timber out of the market forever. . So, we are going to have to kiss goodbye the good old days vvhen timber was close at hand ,and cheap to get into the mill and face the hard realities of pay ing for what we get. And when it ;pomes to logging and the timber Interests the whole cost can't be .left up to them. Not when it Comes to roads. MAKING drunk driving a felonv if anyone is injured other than the driver is all right. I'm in accord Willi that. If a man wants to break his own neck, fine, but when it comes to someone else's neck that's a different story. I also agree that chemical tests are good when the individual grants his approval. Sobriety tests are all right, but inconclusive. Also, it would be another gross lolation if the fact you refused uch a sobriety test were to be used against the driver in court proof that the driver was drunk. ; Communities all over the west are going to have to realize that transport is a major item and look o the day when they will have to spend local money to keep- local industries going. A good deal of thought has already gone into that Copper here in Klamath County. '.And don't think for a minute that Douglas County and Lane Coun ty, over the hill and on the down hill haul for a lot of timber that .could be in our working area, aren't keeping abreast of things. The area that gels there first with the fastest road is going to reap ;the rich benefits of the timber. It is just something to think about. Something expensive, but jou gotta spend a little to make -a little. -Drunken Driving - By FLOYD L. WYNNE . The cure was worse than the disease I 1 That's not an idle phrase. Often times, in this complex world in which we subsist, actions taken to correct a situation result in even .more complications, although they accomplish their original intent. : Such may be the case with Leg Jslative actions to curb drunken driving. .

I have no sympathy for the drunken driv er. 1 don't question for a minute .that he is a menace on the high way and should be prevented from operating a vehicle while in thai condition. -. However, there is a great di virscnee at this point over what .measures should be taken to erad icate this menace (mm iho slats' '.highways. , WWETIMK AGO, members of tho Legislative Interim Committee ;on Highways ordered the draft ol tour tougn mils to curb the drink ;ing driver in Oregon. The measures would allow .'chemical testing for alcohol of any driver with the present consent rc 'ouiremcnt, allowing police to make I MUST DISAGREE with proposed measure. I agree with the intent, but not the method. It should never be necessary for anyone to sign away his constitu tional rights to gain a driver's li cense. Also, that license should never bo revocable merely because a person insists on that constitutional right. You can class my opposition as pig-headedness, if you wish, but f find myself objecting because of llie things this approach can lead lo. If you must sign away your l ights and privileges for a driver's license, then additional things can be required of you that violate the sense and meaning of the Consti tution which protects us from the unreasonable aspects of the law. There has always been an ar gument over determining whether a man is drirr.k or not, and, even experts will agree that chemical analysis is not always the answer that alcohol docs not work the same on all individuals. room; one for washing with soap and the other for rinsing it oil Hunning water inside the house changed a lot of habits. If the youngsters balk at hand scrubbing be'ore meals, they might be reminded of the Moham medan school boys. Like all others of their religion, they are required to wash hands, feet, face and neck and ears and rinse the mouth not once, but five times a day. This is called "Wadu," or ritual cleansing before prayer. Soap is said to have originated wilh the Gauls. It was a pretty crude product. Their version is said to have been made of water Beech ash and goat's tallow. When the lye in the ashes was added to the hot mixture of fat and water, il foamed up and then subsided into a soft, jelly-like substance, Soap was important to the Gauls Tney used it chiefly to wash their hair before battle to give it a fiery red color. Void Klamath Falls (To the Editor) fie your editorial of January 20. The intellectual void displayed in your contributions lo the Herald and News was at its zenith in your little tantrum over foreign aid. There are quite a few taxpayers who believe our foreign aid dollars are not intended to "buy" friend ship from our less fortunate neigh bors. These people hope that the few dollars which each of us con tributes yearly may help in some way to alleviate the technical de ficiencies, and raise the low stan dards of living on which world chaos thrives. If this sounds too idealistic maybe the Care pack ages were a mistake too. On January 19, you were be moaning the fact that none of your office references contained the word genocide. May I suggest that you consult Webster's New World Dictionary (page 604). Maybe our foreign aid can help to eliminate the need of this term in the future E. J.

SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal virrm.i waiwt cwng: (mRei ) HERE', to W 6UARAWT6E IT ?? Political (an mi's By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) This seems to be the season for think ing up new political games. Mine is called "spin the Democrat." It is a variation ot the old game capture the delegate. The game is played on a board on which a race track Is drawn. The track is divided into lanes with crossing lines which form squares. In the center is a num bered wheel. Four can play. Each player se lects a campaign button labeled Kennedy," "Humphrey," "Sy mington or Johnson. The but tons are placed on the starting line, which is formed by a row of question marks. The players take turns spinning the wheel and moving their but tons forward the number of paces indicated by the pointer, This continues until they reach the square marked "news conference." The first two players to reach Ibis square pick up cards marked front runner" and follow an ar- ow pointing to "primaries." The oilier two pick up cards marked dark horse" and follow an ar- ow pointing to "draft." The two players on the "pri maries lane continue moving ,eir buttons until one reaches the square marked "New Hamp shire." This entitles him to "chal lenge" the other player. The oilier player may accept the "challenge" and move his button onto the "New Hampshire" square. Or he may bypass "New Hampshire" and move on to the square marked "Wisconsin." The player on "New Hampshire" is then entitled to pick up a "dele gate" card. If two buttons land on the sam'e primary square at the same time, one must go back five spaces and forfeit his "front runner" card. Meanwhile, the two players with the dark horse cards con tinue to move their buttons along Ihe "draft" lane. If they land on squares marked "opinion poll" or grass roots," they may pick up a delegate card. But if cither player slops on a square marked "Stevenson," he must forfeit ail of his "delegate" cards and is out of the game. The play continues until all the buttons reach the last square, which is marked "convention." Now three of the players must try to "block" the player holding the "front runner" card. They move their buttons into a circle marked "smoke filled room." The three players stay in the circle until one gets possession of all of the "delegate" cards held by the other two. This entitles him to leave the circle and pick up cards from the "favorite son" stack. The player holding the "front runner" card may now exchange it tor a bandwagon card, which is equal to three "favorite son" cards. This completes the rules of the game. All you have to do now is figure out who wins. iVfftk. " it MR. AND MRS.

No purse was found at the scene of the July 18 slaying. Prosecutor Fred N. Whichello said after presentation of the bulk of the state's case that he would ask the gas chamber for defen dants Dr. R.

She said Mrs. Finch was accompanied by Herbert Adair. nvestigator for the slain woman's divorce attorney.
