r HAAABER OMMENTS by GEORGE T. CALLISON Manager KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERC! The picture of Klamath Coun ty's booth at the recently con cluded Pacific International Live stock Exposition in Portland, which appeared a few nights ago in the Herald and News, well il lustrated the fact that a lot of S !?d PlUS 3 T'lLake and Lake ot Ihe Woods Bjiwum iiiuiij, van mull ui a if you can do the job, and do it well, for a few hundred dollars, why spend three thousand? City Needs Expanded Fire, Street Program display which more than adequate-! ly represents the county. And this brings up a point regarding relative costs of such displays which is worth exploring a little. A recent news release concern ing the county's P.I.L.E. boothl indicated that while less than $200 had been expended on it, a display from Crook County was said to have cost $3,000. The compari son was, perhaps, unfortunate be cause it actually doesn't signify anything. In the first place, much of the material used in the Klam ath County booth had been used previously, either , in former P.I.L.E, displays, or in the booth at last year's Los Angeles Sports men's and Vacation Show and wasn't figured in the cost of the 4 present booth. Also, most of the work done on the Klamath Coun ty booth was done by volunteers members of a special chamber committee, headed by Chuck Pe- dersen. but, most important ot all, is , the fact that the cost of a dis play doesn't necessarily have any thing to do with the effectiveness of it. This isn't meant to imply that the Crook County display was not a good one; it probably i was an excellent one. So, also, was the Klamath County booth, which told the county's story, and did so most effectively, thanks to the hard work and inventiveness of the committee. In other words, One of the travel editors to visit Oregon including Crater Lake, Fort Klamath, Upper Klamath in Klamath County) last summer was Bob Tonsing, Feature Maga-I zine Editor of The Wichita Sun day Eagle and The Wichita Bea con. A copy of the October 15 edition of this prominent Kansas newspaper, which came to the chamber office last week, in cluded a one-and-a-half page illus traded story "Oregon Adven ture" which Bob wrote after returning home from his trip. The Klamath County segment of the editors 10 - day Oregon trip was well covered, but the lead paragraph is worth quoting be cause it illustrates the invaluable publicity which Oregon and Klam. ath County received from these annual travel editors' tours. Herei is Bob's opening paragraph: "Kansans who never have vis ited Oregon might be inclined to' pre-judge as boasting or exagger ation that state's claims of hav ing almost all types of scenic at tractions, vacation facilities, sports and playland areas. But after s sample of the region's most out standing tourist lures, it becomes difficult to see how its natural beauty could be exaggerated." Through its affiliation with the Pacific Northwest Travel Associ ation the Klamath County Cham ber of Commerce will partici pate again next summer in the Oregon tour of four travel editors from four of the nation's major! newspapers, Basic needs for continued prog-' ress in the city of Klamath Falls were outlined by Mayor Robert Veatch to Rotary Club members at their luncheon meeting Friday. Veatch pointed to two immedi ate city needs, ( i additional and improved fire protection, and (2' expanded street improvement pro gram. Property owners in the city face the prospect of increased fire in surance costs if action is not tak en to beef up the existing fire pro tection units, the mayor said. He said that the city has one of the most efficient fire departments in the state, but that the city has out grown the central station, and ad ditional auxiliary units are need ed immediately. City traffic pattersn face con gestion and strangulation if some thing is not done soon to alleviate the traffic burden. A first step in this direction is widening arterial streets in the city, Veatch point ed out. Veatch also urged that the city launch a park improvement pro gram, and pledged continued ac tion by the city in condemnation proceedings to rid the city of blight and slum areas. Fraud Trial Hears Doctors PORTLAND (AP) Portland doctors Joe B. Davis and Howard L. Cherry testified for the- de fense Friday in the trial of ten persons accused of staging fake automobile accidents and using the mails to defraud insurance companies. Both doctors said they treated some of the accident victims and believed the persons had suffered real injuries. Orbital Rendezvous Aim Of Saturn ; CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The highly-successful flight of the first Saturn superboostcr is expected to lead to U.S. pursuit' of orbital rendezvous instead of direct flight as a means of quick ening manned landings on the moon. J," The rendezvous method would employ Saturns to place a rocket Efnd a spaceship in separate orbits 300 miles high. The two would Join in space, and the rocket would boost the ship to the moon. Hi the vacuum of space, the orbit ing rocket' would not require the immense power of ground- launched vehicles which must shoulder through the earth's heavy atmosphere. Experts here discussed rendez vous after Friday's perfect test of the first Saturn, the world's largest known rocket. They theo rized the approach could cut two years from the direct-flight con cept using the Nova rocket, still on-the drawing board. With its eight-engine power- plant pouring out 1.3 million pounds of thrust, the 162-foot! Saturn raced 90 miles high, then Kennedy Tour Seen Act Of Demo Desperation -WASHINGTON (AP) Presi- rjpnt Kennedy's action in booking campaign speech in New Jersey ijcxt Thursday was variously in terpreted today as a sign of Dem ocratic optimism and desperation, f Senate Democratic Leader Mike $ansfield of Montana applauded tiie President's decision to make 3 speech for Judge Richard J. Hughes, the party's nominee for governor in the Nov. 7 state bal loting. "former President Eisenhower has set the pattern in New Jer sey," Mansfield said. "Now Pres ident Kennedy will set the pace. f am delighted that the President is going for I feel it is a sign that Judge Hughes is forging to the front in a close race." J Senate Republican Leader Ev erett M. Dirksen of Illinois said Trio Born To Grandma ATLANTA, Ga. AP-Triplets yere born Friday to a grandmoth er 40 years old. "Whew." said the father, Frankl W. Dclidle of Atlanta. ' They were the seventh, eighth and ninth children born to Mrs Dclidle. The other six, ranging in ages from 4 to 18. were by a pre vious marriage. Two daughters! are married, and one has a son 8 months old. The triplets were full term. rarity in multiple births, said thelYork attending physician. The babies. two boys and a girl weighed about seven pounds each, also unusual since most triplets are below nor mal in birth weight. in a separate interview he thinks Kennedy reversed a previous de cision not to make a personal ap pearance in New Jersey because he was under party pressure to try to head off a Hughes defeat. Dirksen suggested that cam paigning by Gen. Dwight D. Ei senhower in behalf of James P. Mitchell, the Republican nomineel for governor, had contributed to Kennedy's decision to take a hand in the New Jersey campaign. 'It appears that Jim Mitchell is running ahead in the race, Dirksen said. "I doubt that the President is going to be able to turn that trend around with a per sonal appearance for Hughes. Kennedy s excursion is likely to focus even more national atten tion on the New Jersey contest than it previously had received Eisenhower has said the outcome will affect Republican chances in the 1962 congressional elections. Democrats generally think Ei senhower's interpretation of the results is somewhat far fetched. They think Kennedy decided to make his one-shot appearance in the interests of solidifying the state Democratic organization and to give it fresh impetus in its election drive. Former President Harrv S. Tru man will make a personal appear ance for Hughes the night after Kennedy speaks. Kennedy will appear at a Hughes rally in Tren ton. White House press secretary Pierre Salinger said Kennedy has "no present plan" to go into New City to aid Democratic Mayor Robert F. Wagner in his battle for reelection. The Presi dent gave Wagner a pat on the back at a White House conference' Friday. fell as intended with two dummy upper stages into the Atlantic Ocean 200 miles away. The entire flight lasted only eight minutes. But it provided tremendous impetus to the U.S, race to beat the Russians to the moon. Few persons expected com plete success on the maiden test. Prelaunch calculations had placed chances, of success at only 30 per cent. Dr. Robert Seamans, NASA as sociate administrator, said after wards: "Today we made a signif icant step forward in development of vehicles we need for space exploration, especially manned space exploration." Dr. Wernher von Braun, chief of NASA's Space Flight Center whose team of German rocket specialists helped develop Saturn, called it a very satisfying flight. He said information from it will lead to improvements in the sec ond Saturn test vehicle, scheduled for launching next March. A total of 10 research shots are planned before the first operation al Saturn. Jhe CI model, is ready to send useful payloads aloft. The first operational mission in 1964 will be to send the three-man apol- lo spacecraft into earth orbit. A more powerful Saturn C3, with 3-4 million pounds of power in the booster stage, will be used in 1966 to hurl ihe manned Apollo into lunar orbit. Dr. Hugh Dryden, NASA deputy administrator, said recently that an attempt will be made to mate a Project Mercury capsule with the orbiting second stage of an Atlas-Agena rocket. The test, probably next year, will deter mine whether two vehicles can be joined in space. Achievements and objectives of the present citv administration were outlined briefly by the may- or. Calling attention to a new spir it of complete cooperation between the city and the Klamath County Court, Veatch said there is pros pect for more efficiency and wiser spending of taxpayer dollars as a result. He referred to the situa tion w here the county has assumed the cost of maintaining about 13 miles of streets within the city limits that measure up to qual ifications prescribed for county roads. In another instance, the county has lent support to im provements in the area adjacent to Moore Park, he said. Veatch pointed to improvement in the jail and city prisoner situ-! ation. Major points here, he said, include establishment of a kitch en and eating facilities for prison ers, which cut the cost of prison er meals from about 59 cents; each to not more than 25 cents. In another move, the city has established better control over prisoners by issuing them spe cially marked clothing ("KFP Klamath Falls Prisoner") when they are booked at the city jail. Since inception of the program, prisoner "walkaways" have been reduced to none, as compared with' 55 during the month of May. me city this year made im provements to one-half of the run way at Ihe airport. The work was made possible by an $8,000 grant from the state. A contract has been signed for codification of the city s ordinanc es. There are in existence more! than 5.000 ordinances, and it is impossible to provide on-the-spot answers to questions concerning any one of them under present conditions, the mayor said. The city will save something close to $9,800 a year after re tirement of initial investment ot about $23,000 since the purehasci of the 88 light standards on city streets from California Oregon Power Co. earlier this year, the mayor reported. With the pur-i chase, the city cut the cost of power from about $12 per light per month, to about $3.20, he said. Veatch lauded the Council-Man-! ager type of government and said that much of the progress made in Klamath Falls is a direct re sult of that type ot government The question of desirability of using special tunds for the pro posed mausoleum for Memorial Cemetery was raised by the may or in his talk. He expressed the belief that the money (about $90,-1 000 would be requited) could be better spent on providing for aa dilional fire protection stations as one example. The money for thei mausoleum comes from a special levy made some years ago, and there is about $77,000 in the fund at this time. An additional $13,000 would have to be raised if the project is to be leatized, he explained. In concluding his talk, the may or appealed for more interest in city affairs and activities, and made a plea for an "overall change of community attitude" and challenged Rotarians to "look' about litem, roll up their sleeves and get to work to make Klam ath Falls a better place in which to live, and lo make a living Nuclear Power Plant Pushed OLYMPIA (API - State Con servation Director Earl Coe. push ing the proposal for Washington state to build the world's largest nuclear electric power plant there is no other way to get it done, has sought Atomic Energy Commission aid. Coe wrote AEC Chairman Glenn T. Seaborg Friday. He outlined the state's plan to con struct the $95 million facility at the Hanford Atomic Works and said it was offered as an alterna tive to federal construction ;f Congress wiH not provide the money. The U.S. House of Rep resentatives killed a federal pro posal earlier this year. ' !' ' A fi o & aiERALBAMJNEvSS. Klamath!!, Ore.

The stunned politicians reac- tion: "Why, I've never heard ot a case like it before. It can't be legally possible." Dr. Manfred Frcisc, a dentist. has filed a complaint in court against Erich Alende, head of the Free Democratic party, which won 67 scats' in West Germany's parliamentary election last month and gamed the balance ot power. Dr. Friese said Mende had promised him and other West German voters that his parly would never enter into a coalition government under Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer Bnd on this basis got four million votes. Now, the dentist said, it seems that just such a coalition govern ment is about to be formed. This, he said, constituted 'breach of faith with the voters." A hearing will be held soon in Bonn's lowest court to determine if there are legal grounds for the complaint. Dr. Freise said lie is not seek ing damages but only to establish j the principle that a politician can be hold to his promises.
