People sometimes wonder
whether in playing golf with Ei
senhower, his partners ever con
sciously try to let the President
win. Another term lor mis is
"customer golf." There may have
been some rather silly tactics
like this in the past, but woe be
tide the golfer who purposely dubs
shot and the President finds
out about it.
The President wants his oppo
nents to play their best possible
game because that is what he's
doing. In fact, when playing with
a top flight prolcssional, Eisen
hower gets as much of a kick out
of watching the smooth perform

of playing, himself.

'Talking to Francis Brown the oth

Typewriter ribbon cloth is a
separate category in the gray
oods market.
It appears this country imported
more typewriter ribbon cloth in
1159 than was made in the United
Stales during the year. Some mills
have requested a U.S. Tariff Com
mission investigation and hearings
are slated for .April 20. according
to Daily News Record's primary
market report last week.
"Some persons . identified with
typewriter ribbon fabric business
have been agitating lor a long lime
for U.S. government action because
mills here have been losing out
to lower-priced competition from
overseas," the trade paper re
ports. The 1959 rate on imports equals
about 81 per cent of total domestic
production in 1955, about 95 per
cent of the 195B production, about
105 per cent of 1957 production.
117 per cent of 1958 production and
about 114 per cent of 1959 produc
tion, it is claimed. American pro
duction of typewriter ribbon cloth
has declined in the period 1955
through 1958 by 30 per cent. Dol
lar saics nave gone on 42 per
cent and yardage sales by 38 per
cent.
Typewriter ribbons sound like a
minuscule segment of business.
A rough survey of retail sales
fources here indicated that approx
imately 3.6O0 new typewriter rib
bons are sold in Klamath Falls
each year. The price of quality rib-
bens ranges generally from $1.23
to $2.75 per ribbon.
No local firms specialize only in
fypewritor ribbons and carbons
The two ifems go along with other
items in service and sales stores
handling business machines.
The survey pointed up one as
founding fact. The local retailers
sell only about half of the total
number of typewriter ribbons and
boxes of carbon paper which arc
purchased by Klamath Falls firms.
In other words, the local stores

Hand Thanks
Klamath Falls (To the Editor)
The Klamath Union High School
marching band would like to lake
this opportunity to thank all those
individuals, organizations and busi
nessmen in the Klamath Falls area
who so generously contributed to
our East-West trip fund. Without
the support that was given, the
band would have been unable to
take advantage of this most worth
while trip.
The band was housed at the
Whitcomb Hotel, which was found
o be very comfortable and con
veniently located to the downtown
area. Meals were eaten in the hotel
dining room. Both evenings spent
in the metropolitan city were
free" and the students enjoyed
choosing their own forms of entertainment.
The students were exceptionally
well behaved and gained a great
deal from the trip both education
ally as well as from the three-day
association with their fellow stu
dents. The band members feel that
this was one of their most success
ful trips and received many com
pliments on their performance at
the game.

The President spent last week
end in Washington, much to the
gratification of those who must
travel with him when he leaves
town and he's been away a good
bit these last few months.
At any rate, when the word
was passed that Eisenhower
would slay in town over the week
end, this anonymous notice ap
peared on the White House press
room bulletin board:
"Don't forget your immuniza
lion shots for Washington. All the
signs are that we will be here
lor a long weekend. Don't forget
your water purifying tablets and
dysentery pills."
One of the weary travel crew
saw the notice and observed,
"bitterness will get you nowhere
only to South America."
The President will be leaving
lor South America Feb. 22 and
reports from advance agents
anticipate enormous crowds as in
India and Spain last December.
Eisenhower may find the trip as
fatiguing as his Asian jaunt, pos
sibly more so, because it is now
summer south of the equator and

WASHINGTON (UPI) The
federal government at this point
has no clear idea of how many
trading stamps it has, or what
it is going to do with them.
I assume that somewhere out
there in the vast bureaucracy,
someone has charge of taking the
stamps as they come in and drop
ping them into a shoe box, as we
do at our house.
Someday, that someone pre
sumably will have to take them
all out, lick them and stick them
in stamp books. This is a job I
do not envy. The glue on trading
stamps tastes no better than the
glue on postage stamps.
The news that Uncle Sam was
saving trading stamps, even as
you and I, emerged last year
from the General Services Admin
istration, the federal "housekeep
ing" agency.
Housewifely, the agency advised
all other government bureaus to
hold on to any stamps they col
lected, pending further instruc
structions. Huwevcr, the instruc
tions haven't been issued yet.
The government is still trying
to work out with Ihe trading
stamp companies a plan for dis
posing of the stamps without ex
changing them for merchandise.
Otherwise, it would have a sec
ondary problem of how to dispose
of the merchandise.
There also is a question ol
whether the value of the stamps

is worth the paperwork they en
tail.
II the government doesn't mind
my muting in, i think l can
solve the problem. The thing to
do is to keep the stamps until
some foreign potentate, say the
king of Saudi Arabia, comes here
on a state visit.
The visitor is almost certain to
have a surprise gift a pearl-
handle sword or a silver incense
burner for President Eisenhower.
He will feel hurt if Ike has
nothing for him.
Okay, all Ike has to do is keep
his guest in a conversation while
someone grabs up a batch of the
stamps and runs down to the
stamp store. I imagine any des
ert monarch would be delighted
by a new electric blender, toaster
or roaster, or even a charcoal
grill for cookouts on the sand
dunes.
Although the government is not
keeping count of the number of
stamps it collects, I learned that
most of them are acquired with
the purchase of gasoline for gov
ernment vehicles.
Well, sir, the government owns
more than 200,000 autos ana
trucks which are driven an av
erage of 10,000 miles a year. The
way I figure it, this represents a
potential income of about 900,000
stamps a week enough to fill 600
books.
At this rale, the government
every year could exchange stamps
for 5,200 electric razors; or 15,
500 table cloths, or 7,800 floor
lamps, or 6,240 play pens or 2,236
vacuum cleaners.
Or, better yet. it could save
Ihem up for 1,923 years and have
enough to get every tax payer a
new billfold.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 28, the
?8th day of the year, with 338
more days to follow in 19B0.
The moon is in its new phase.
The morning stars are Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn and Venus.
On this day in history:
In 1871, Paris was captured by
Ihe Prussians in the Franco-Prus
sian War.
In 1878, the first commercial
Iclephone switchboard was set in
operation in New Haven, Conn.
Telephone users receiving calls
cried out "ahoy-ahoy" rather than
the later greeting of "hello."
In 1922, the weight of 29 inches
of snow caused the roof of the
Knickerbocker Theatre in Wash
ington to collapse, killing 95 per
sons and injuring many more.
In 1934, American restaurants
raised their prices of coffee from
10 to 15 cents a cup, and in gro
cery stores coffee sold as high as
$1.35 a pound.
A thought for today: Shake

A little fire is quickly trodden

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Under
currents of sentiment for New
York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
are still running in New Hamp
shire today.
How deep and strong they may
be is difficult to gauge since
Rockefeller is not a candidate in
the state's primary election March
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon is running unopposed on the
Republican side of the ballot.
However
1. The organization formed for
Rockefeller is still intact. It be
came inactive after he announced,
last Dec. 26, that he would not
try for the GOP nomination for
president. "We're keeping our
powder dry and wailing to see
what will happen," says State
Rep. Robert S. Monahan, one of
the original leaders of the pro-
Rockefeller movement.
2. They declined Gov. Wesley
Powell's invitation to join the
Nixon camp after Rockefeller's
announcement in December.
3. Two men and a woman have
filed for election as delegates
"favorable" to Rockefeller. An
other man is expected to enter
the lists in the next few days. The
four express varying degrees of
optimism about their chances for
election.
4. No movement to organize a
write-in vote for Rockefeller has
developed. However, it is general
ly expected that voters will in
scribe his name on the presiden
tial preference side of the ballot,
known as the "beauty contest."
How many?
That's the big question. You
hear of communities where pro-
Rockefeller sentiment is reported
still strong. However, observers
do not believe the feeling extends
over the state as a whole.
5. The Greater Concord Cham
ber of Commerce invited attorney
Robert P. Bass, a founder of the
Rockefeller movement, to speak
at a "meet-the-candidates" break
fast Wednesday. He accepted,
stressed Rockefeller's qualifica
tions, and quoted Nixon's state
ment, after Rockefeller withdrew
that the New York governor "is
destined for continued leader
ship."
In short, Ihe Rockefeller people
remain hopeful that, somehow, a
ground swell will get underway.
The hope seems slim. Nixon s
backers 23 have filed for elec
tion as delegates favorable to
him include most of the GOP
political powerhouses in New
Hampshire and Nixon's name is
formally on the ballot while
Rockefeller's is not.
But Rockefeller backers point
to Nixon himself as proof that
write-ins sometimes work won
ders. Nixon drew a stunning total
of 23.000 write-in votes in New
Hampshire four years ago at a
time when there was talk of
dumping him from the GOP
ticket.
Rockefeller's name will be listed
under those of delegate candidates
seeking election as "favorable' to
him. Under state law, the candi
dates were able to file as "favor
able" without the governor's sanc
tion and he was powerless to pre-

the ballot in this fashion.
The three who have already
done so are Dr. A. John Lacail
laide, Laconia optometrist; David
D. Hewitt, publisher of a weekly
newspaper in Hanover, and Miss
Mary Koromilas of Dover.
A fourth, S. Russell Sterns, pro

for Rockefeller.

Rockefeller s nomination "The
people of New Hampshire should
be given the right to choose" be
tween him and Nixon, and be
cause of Rockefeller's experience
and his qualifications.
Gov. Powell said the main ob
jective of the Nixon backers is to
get out the vote so that Sen. John
F. Kennedy, of Massachusetts, the
principal Democratic candidate,
will not be able to "close the
gap" between himself and Nixon.
Strictly speaking, ' Nixon and
Kennedy are not in direct compe
tition in the primary.
In the coming primary, Demo
crats and Republicans can only
vote for candidates and delegates
of their respective parties. The
GOP vote is usually about Vk
times greater than the Democratic
vote.
In 1956, for example. President
Eisenhower received 56,464 votes
in the Republican "beauty con
test ' to Sen. Esles Kefauver's
21,701 on the Democratic side.
Both ran unopposed.
To enhance Kennedy's prestige
nationally, the Democrats are
working hard to close that 2'4-to-l
gap." The Republicans are work
ing equally hard to get out the
Republican vote so as to widen it.
"We would like to see a greater
turnout for Nixon this year than
there was for Eisenhower in 1956,"
said Gov. Powell. "It will consti
tute a great vote of confidence in
Nixon."
Powell said he believes Nixon
will get more votes than Eisen
hower did in the last election. He
declined to estimate the total. He
said he expects Kennedy to pull
around 40,000 votes, nearly double
the total Ketauver received in
1956.
