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

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

Klamath County) last summer
was Bob Tonsing, Feature Maga-I

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

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

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

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

Dirksen suggested that cam

for governor, had contributed to
Kennedy's decision to take a hand
in the New Jersey campaign.

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

Politician Faces Court
On Election 'Promises'
BONN, Germany (AP) It has
happened at last: A voter is tak
ing a politician into court on a
charge of failing to keep a cam
paign promise.
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.
