Ccmmittees To Cuckle Down SALEM (AP) - Republican leaders of the Oregon House want committees to get down to work as quickly as possible after the Legislature begins Jan. f, Rep. r. Montgomery, R-Eugene, Friday. Montgomery, GOP leader in the Bouse, said the Republican Com' mtttaa on Committees will ask that committees meet early in the morning and lata at night to cope with a ''tremendous quantity of legislation." The committee wants a special reorganization committee named to handle Gov. Mark O. Hatfield's proposals to reorganise the state government.

All in all. 1960 was a big year at Kingsley Field, and If future plans materialize, .the coming year should see many more ini portant changes. . Physicists Will Test Theory Part BERKELEY, Calif. (UPI) -Two physicists outlined Friday a bold plan to test part of Einstein's the ory of relativity by exploding nuclear device anywhere from 100.000 to 100 million miles in space. Drs. Sheldon O. Soltky and Rob' ert K. Squire explained that by measuring the various visible and invisible rays emitted from the explosion, they would be able to tell if all traveled at the same speed. The late Dr. Albert Einstein held in both his special and gen eral theories that radio, light, gamma and X-rays were constant in their velocity. Softky said "it would be hard to imagine the effect if the ex periment proved Einstein wrong." The two men spoke before the winter meeting of the American: Physical Society being held at the! University of California. Softky, of the Stanford Research Institute at Palo Alto, Calif., and Squire, of the University of Call' fornia's Livermore Radiation Lab oratory, jointly described how the experiment would work. Softky said the minimum dis tance for the explosion would be 100,000 miles from earth, using a fission device. He said firing off the device at the shorter distance would be cheaper, but less accu rate. , At the 100 million mile range, he said, a fusion device, such as a hydrogen bomb, would be used. Measurements of the time it took tor the four types of rays to re turn to earth would be accurate within a billionth of a second Squire said their plan called for sending the device Into space in a rocket with a (radio transmitter attached. The explosion would be triggered fromearth, he said. Moments beore the detonation, a second, smaller rocket would be fired too miles up, just beyond the earth's atmosphere, carrying the measuring Instruments. The smaller rocket either would be retrieved or would relay its in formation back to earth. The explosion, with one-tenth the power of the sun, would be visible, said Softky, appearing for a split-second with the light Inten sity of Venus. . The two men originally made their plan known to the govern ment in 1058. Thus far, however. nothtag has been done to put the experiment Into action. Suecasts Vote Offense States De Penalized WASHINGTON (AP)-The retir ing staff director of the Civil Rights Commission says states which deny voting rights to Ne groes should be given reduced representation in Congress. Gordon M. Tiffany, who has re signed effective Jan. 1 after di recting the commission's staff since June 9, 1UM, expressed this view in n report sent to President Eisenhower, President-elect John F. Kennedy and members of the commission. Tiffany said Congress should give attention to possible rules changes so that seniority in the selection of committee chairmen should not be the invariable rule and "shoi'ld also consider reap portionment in accord with the 14th Amendment He explained that this meant adoption of a plan-tinder which representation in the House would be--reduced hi-proportion to the number of citizens of a state who are denied the right to vote be cause of race. "Under such a system It would be extremely difficult for discrim ination to exist, for it would be come politically infeasible and im practical," Tiffany said. Suggests Cards SALEM (AP) - Gov.

NEXT TIME ill ORAB US SCHtFOOPf ' CHAMBER OMAAENTS by GEORGE T. CALLISON . KLAMATH COUNTY CIUMIIR OF COMMHCI We hear a lot these days about our national purpose, or lack of it, and sometimes the discussion takes the tack that whatever we may lack in national purpose may simply be the result of a deficiency of individual purpose, that perhaps we are suffering from a decline in our old stan dards of personal courage and personal responsibility. Arch N. Booth, one of the na tion's most remarkable men in chamber of commerce work made some forceful, thought-provoking comments on this topic recently In an address entitled "Goals For Resolute People. Mr. Booth, who is executive vice pres ident of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States, gave the- address in accepting the American Society of Association Executives' award as "voluntary leader of the year. In recent weeks I have had oc casion to review the text of Mr. Booth's address 1 several times, and on this day when many of us are thinking in terms of New Year's resolutions, I felt it might be well to pass alons some of his thoughts.) True, his points have special - application to per sons engaged in .voluntary or ganization work, but, they have equal meaning for all of us. ' Our personal goals, said Mr. Booth, might be something along this line: To develop a strong sense of purpose and direction. To provide time for thought, but more particularly to place the proper value on thought and on intellectual reserves. To rise above merely fulfilling the expectation of others,, and to be strong enough to use our in ner resources to develop our cre ative capabilities'. To learn how to use our inner resources to develop our creative capabilities. To learn how to use voluntary power as a creative force. These statements of individual objectives could go on and on but, after all, said Mr. Booth, words can only approximate the qualities and the usefulness wo should have as our personal What we are all hoping for Is tb ' have the courage, the self control, the energy, the intelli gence and the intuitiveness to rise to the needs of our historical opportunity . to Our voluntary tasks.

Clair Engle, D-Calif., said Friday he will try through legislation in the new Congress to extend basic reclamation law to the entire country. Only 17 Western states now come under the provisions of rec lamation laws. Engle said his legislation would provide irrigation, flood control, navigation and fish and wildlife features in municipal water devel opment projects for all areas. Under the proposed bill, federal loans would be made for Irrigation and outright grants would be sup plied for flood control, navigation and wildlife benefits. "By encouraging planning and construction of multipurpose water resource development," Engle said in a statement, "this bill would apply the basic principle of na tional reclamation to all parts of the country." The California senator noted that! Irrigation is now being practiced in certain eastern areas as well as the West. He mentioned Illinois, New Jersey and Florida where ir rigation water supplements natur al supplies for increased crop NEWS, Klamath Falla. Ore. eanizations is to search intelli gently for broader and higher purposes through which we can help our country reach its goals. Our task as individuals is to be not only tough and tenacious in spirit but to use to the ut most our talents and capabilities, to have a high sense of mission to be innovators to grow in usefulness as resolute people and for the constructive good of resolute people. These are ideals. Men live by ideals. Ideals are like stars," , Mr, Booth concludes. "You cannot touch them with your hands, but, like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and, fol lowing them, you reach your des tiny." , PUD Given Dam Funds WENATCHfiE.
