WYNNE A number of months ago I put myself on record as opposing the construction of a new wing on the county courthouse. I certainly don't want to seem arbitrary on this subject. 1 mentioned a number of months ago to Bob Walker, Klamath Coun ty judge, that as far as I could see there appeared to be no ur gent need for such a wing and that taxpayers' money should not be spent for this purpose. He stated that, in his opinion, the extra room was urgently need ed and the project should go forward. He offered to take me on a tour of the courthouse to talk to those who need the extra space. If 1 would do I his, he said, I would be convinced of the need for the ad dition. I ACCEPTED THE OFFER and slated that I would be glad to lake such a tour if he would line it up and let mc ask my own questions. To dale, 1 have not heard any thing further of that offer. Congress appropriated $4.3 million, California State Park funds ac counted for $7.9 million, the state of Nevada contributed $363,000 and private donations totalled $2 mil lion. The area is to become a Cal ifornia slate park after the games. HOWEVER, I do nolo that sketches of a proposed new wing were presented to the county court the other day for their examination. The proposed wing would be al the rear of the present structure and would be a basement- and a two-story arrangement. It was pointed out by the court In releasing this item that they now. have $292,100 set aside for construction of this wing, and that construction could begin later this year, if, Hie budget committee would set aside some more n:on ey for that purpose. Last year, the budget committee set aside $150,000 for Ibis construc tion. 1 CERTAINLY, 1 do not doubt that present occupants of the court house could use more space. That's not the question. The question is whether or not they actually need it. Government has continually ex panded in just this fashion. First, new space, then they fill it up with offices and employes and the tax bill goes up. I'm not unalterably opposed to the new wing. It's just that as I see it now, it doesn't appear nec essary. , Instead of expanding govern ment, this is a time to be cutting It down. I'M STILL waiting for that in vitation to see for myself. Squaw Valloy By FLORENCE JENKINS The medical needs incident to the Winter Olympic games at Squaw Valley will be the responsi bility of a medical division of 18-1 volunteers, 58 of whom will be physicians. .- In addition to the anticipated 33,000 spectators daily from Feb ruary 18 through 28, the medical division also will protect the health of the 4.500 persons in the "official family," which includes 1.000 ath letes from 34 countries, the Amer ican Medical Association reports. Dr. William W. Stiles, professor of public health at the Univer sity of California, is medical di rector for the Olympics and is co ordinator of the complex medical program. His planning started a year ago. because the nearest .hospital was a 21-hed facility 12 miles from the valley and because there were only six practicing physicians within a radius of 25 miles of the valley Newly-constructed facilities in elude a 22-bed hospital, nine med ical aid stations, billets and quar ters for administrative stall. There will be 32 doctors on duly at one time in the fixed facilities. Ten oilier physicians, members of the National Ski Patrol System and proficient skiers, will patrol the snowy slopes to give first aid and assist in evacuation of injured athletes. There will be 58 registered nurses, pharmacists, X-ray and laboratory - technicians, physio therapists, ambulance drivers and administrative personnel. A lota of 101 will be on duty at any one time. Twenty doctors will accompany teams. Other doctors will attend the games as spectators. T w o physicians, who also are linguists, will serve as interpreters. The AM A reports that all mem bers of the medical team will serve without compensation, but will he given lodging, meals, trans portation and insurance coverage. Cost of transforming the almost virgin wilderness of the two and one-half mile long valley into an ultra modern winter recreation area is estimated at more than $17 million. Of this, the AMA relates, Off-IIcnf .oKvs By TOM ST1MMEL , Leap year has advantages. One not generally known is the extra payday it promises.

Sammy Floyd Cannon, a driver raised by cable from a wrecked car last week just before the wrecker itself plunged down bluff, is not 42, as his age was given in a news story. He's only 2. But, Sammy conceded, "I aged fast.". U s all in a name when politics are concerned. Stale Sen. Harry Koivin was a youthful candidate for district at torney some years ago, after al ready having served several terms in the state Legislature. His cam paign travels brought him before rancher who challenged, "You aren't Harry Boivin." "I sure am," Harry insisted. "Well," said the rancher, "I guess it was your father I've been oting for, then." County Judge Bob Walker and his wife Mickey selected Palm Desert and Palm Springs in Cali fornia after Walker's doctor or dered a rest. A 12-day visit was restful, Walker said, but it wasn't warm. There was snow on the San Jacinto Mountains above the resort towns, and temperatures in nearby Indio fell to 17 above. A young driver who completely demolished a 1035 Dodge in wreck Sunday was on his w;iy to junk the car when the accident occurred. l'M'4'doiii Of Vvrss Klamath Falls (To the Editor) May I lake (his opportunity to thank Hoyd Wynne for presenting the question about suburban police protection. Secondly lo extend ap preciation to Mr. Roland Clark for athcring factual information about the "Twilight Zone" of Klamath County Police operation Mr. Clark's article shows the people of Klamath County what they have been thinking for a long time. The people were not in formed and could only wonder. Mr. Editor, Will Rogers said what Mr. Citizen knows when he states "All I know is what I read in the newspaper." You are the source through which people arc able to gather, compare, and dc cide intelligent answers to ques tions. (This must have been one of I he reasons why our forefathers guaranteed freedom of the press as a constitutional right.) When people are informed, ques tionable actions may be turned into positive reactions allowing right to show Itself through (net and timely articles like that of Mr. Clark's. No, Mr. Editor the real appreciation goes lo you for allowing the facts to be presented I thank you and your staff. Daniel R. Thompson 2417 Darrow I'.-ilroI Ihilics Klamath Falls (To the Editor) I would like lo comment upon a certain Mr. Clark's long har angue on the patrol duties of law- enforcement otficcrs in the near by suburbs. Apparently he likes to quote crime statistics in other places instead of pulling his finger directly upon Die crux of the ques tion involved, i.e.; Let the folks o( the suburbs vote themselves into the city and pronto (hey have everything to quell their fears. As to Sheriff Brilton's office pa trolling this district ho has no deputies assigned for this duly. There is only one that makes the arrests, one that serves warrants, another goes out of the state lo return criminals for prosecu tion, prisoners to take to Salem, one detailed to court proceedings, besides the lillle mailer (if caring for some 80 prisoners. The county court turned down the sheriff s re quest for one extra deputy lor this purpose. When I first moved to Mills Ad dition some 30 years ago, we nev er saw a patrol car. I can't recall I was ever robbed or shot al. Why pick on our Sheriff Brit Ion? He is really the best one we have had in the sheriff's office (or years. He is on the job 24 hours per day. What more would Mr. Clark ask for? His little note to the Herald News wouldn't have political implications would it? D. A. Lanier P.O. Box 92 U S. income tax structure. Every oflice is wired with soothing mu sic, and each client is served with Iree coffee. His nerves are usually on edge," explained Dick. "He's L'nse. Paying taxes is not a pleas ant thing to him, unless you can make it pleasant. "But if you can relax him, you can get the needed figures from him in half the time." By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (API "Paying income taxes doesn't have lo be a painlul ordeal," said Richard Uloch. "It can be enjoyable even fun il you know how to make it so." This year Bloch, 33. and his old er brother, Henry, 36, will help some 200.000 Americans pay their annual tribute to Uncle Sam as painlessly as possible. They are pioneers in a mush rooming new field the field of lax consultation to the masses. Shortly after World War II the two brothers launched an ac counting firm in Kansas City, Mo. It prospered. One of the services the pair ottered their clients was assistance in filling out their in come taxes. This began to take more and more of their time "One night we got to wondering who helped ordinary Americans fill out their income lax returns and whether there might not be mass market there," said Dick. The brothers checked and found perhaps some 300.000 lax consult anls helped part of the 60-million plus U.S. taxpayers prepare their returns. But they ranged from high-priced lawyers lo neigh bnrhood druggists and barbers who charged J2 fees. In 1955 they launched what is now the country's largest chain- stnre-lype of income tax consulta tion. Today they have 1,000 em ployes who man 108 offices in 46 ilics and gross two million dol lars annually. Their goal is 1,000 offices. Their clients include house wives, retired doctors, airplane pi !ols, small-businessmen, and "a tremendous number of Internal Revenue Service workers." I'heir fee depends on the com plexity of the return. The highest hey have ever charged is S"00. But the fee lor a $."iO0,(H)0-a year steel executive was $12.50, hall of (he fees are $7.50 or less, and the average is less than $10. Most of the brothers' employes are accountants and l n c y go through an intensive two-week I raining course after being hired Weekly bulletins alert them to new- lax changes. The company guarantees the ac curacy ot its returns, agrees to pay any penalty or interest charg es resulting from its own errors and appears free with its clients if the government audits any turns. Its proudest boast is that none ot ils returns has ever wound up in a tax court. The two brothers are as adept at psychology as they are on the Cancer Clambake By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) - Seldom have I seen so much tobacco con sumed under a "no smoking" sign during a discussion about cancer. People were firing up ciga rettes, cigars and pipes all over the House Commerce Committee room. No one paid the slightest heed ;o Ihe "no smoking" sign that hung on one wall. Neither did the lact that Arthur S. Flemming, secretary of health, education and wellare, was the witness deter (hem. One of Flemming's agencies, Ihe Public Health Service, has on occasion calico attention to statis tical links between smoking and lung cancer. On this occasion, however, he was talking about cancer in rela tion to cranberries, chickens, or anges and npslicK. worrying about things like that may be one of the reasons people are smok- ig more. The secretary was before the committee seeking a stronger law lo protect us against cancer-causing chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics. The bill would give him more power lo ban the use of artificial coloring agents that might be harmful. Flemming first gave a long dis course on the things that science knows about the cause of cancer. Then he gave a longer discourse on the things it doesn't know. Until there is more clear infor mation on the subject, he told the committee, it is best not to take chances. That is all very well, agreed Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark.) but neilhcr, he added, should Flemming's agency keep the na lion in a constant state of alarm Flemming replied that he was trying hard not to create any un due concern. But I gather some of the lawgivers still were con cerned about Ihe great cranberry panic, as well as the lesser up roars over chicken hormones, or angc-tinled oranges and new lip stick shades. There seems to be no doubt now that wc can eat cranberries, chickens and oranges with impu nity. But I am not so sure that kissing is safe. Flemming, you may recall, put 17 lipstick colors on the blacklist last year. This made the lipstick makers see red. . The order banning the sale of the lipstick has been set aside un til Feb.' l to give the lipstick mak ers time to raise objections. Pend ing the outcome, the ladies are free to use it at their own discretion. Flemming said it was not a question of developing a cancer- proof lipstick, since none of the colors showed signs of causing cancer. But he said they might be harmful in other ways if used in large quantities. In view of all the smoking in Ihe room. 1 wondered why Flem ming didn't repeat the warning about lung cancer. Somebody said this was because tobacco is nei ther a food, drug nor cosmetic.

The proposal was made to the Portland School Board .Monday night by the Unified Salary Commission composed of f o u r teacher organizations here. The board said it will decide by March 7 whether to place on the May election ballot a proposal to raise the tax base and get the needed revenue. "We are well aware that this is substantial upward revision of the maximum salaries," Dale Henderson, a spokesman for the commission, told the board. Two board members said they favored the commission proposal. Others said they thought the vot ers might be more inclined to approve a smaller wage boost. Under the proposed schedule of increases, teachers with master's degrees would get. the biggest salary boost $1,100 a year. They now receive $7,000 annually. There are about 2,700 public school teachers here.
