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. This would replace
the Committee on running ana
Dcvekwmwt
The GOP committee's requests
are beinf passed on to House
Sneaker Robert B. Duncan, D-
tMford.
Montgomery said "Duncan also
being asked to give lour com
a chairmanships to Republl
pated In Veterans Day activities
in the city of Klamath Falls by
furnishing a-color guard,; two
marching units . and the main
speaker.
Public relations were main
tained at a high level during the
entire year of I960. In this respect,
the base H-19 helicopter was used
on several occasions to aid, res
cue and search for people in this
area.
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.

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.

Reclamation
Laws Is Asked
For All States
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen.
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

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." ,

Treasurer
Is Opposed
To Proposal
SALEM (AP) State Treasurer
Howard Belton said Fridav he is
opposed to abolishing the Board
of Control as proposed in the re
organization plan of Gov. Mark
O. Hatfield. His stand was simi
lar to that taken by Secretary of
State Howell Appling Jr. earlier
last ween. ,
Belton said, however, ha Is nn
posed to making an issue out of
it at this time. He said it is a
legislative matter and he is wait
ing to see how the details of re
organization' are worked out.
"I don t want to give the Im
pression there is a big division of
the Board of Control, because
there isn't.TJie said.
'There mav be a difference nf
opinion ..." but no ill will or no
hard feelings between the mem-
Ders oi ine poara. we are working
las a team."' 1 '';.
Belton said he shared the view
of Appling, who with Belton and
Hattleld make up the board, that
it should be retained.: .;
Appline sooke out' mibliclv in
favor of the board and opposed
the proposed Hatfield reorganiza
tion plan to abolish it. Hatfield
had no comment on the state
ments.
Belton said he also shared the
view of Appling that the institu-
tions should be kept under the
same roof and not spread out to
be administered by various de
partments as Hatfield proposed
"I am for economy and effici.
ency of government," Belton said.
"If they can convince me it will
result in economy and efficiency.
this office will go along with it
regardless of what it will do to
me personally."
Belton said in 28 vears of ex
perience as a legislator and ad
ministrator in Oregon state env
ernment he had seen many reor
ganization plans come and go. He
said he wanted to see more de
tails before commenting further
on this one.
Belton said he had confidence in
the majority of the Legislature to
decide the future of reorganiza
tion. He said he also had rnnfl
dence that the voters, given the
facts and time to study them,
would Dronenv deriria any reor
