The proposed municipal sewer
system comes under the acceler
ated Federal Public Works pro
gram and is designed to create
employment. If two-thirds of the
voters approve the measure on
Feb. 5, the city will be authorized
to issue up to $110,000 In gen
oral obligation bonds.
The cost of the sewer system
is estimated at $95,000 in federal
funds, plus $110,000 from the city.
An option on 30 acres of land
at $500 per acre, or $15,000. has
been obtained for $1 from Moun
tain Valley Moulding Company, of
which the former Dorris mayor,
"Si" Cramer, is manager. Cra
mer resigned as mayor to avoid
a possible conflict of interest
should the city buy his property.
The council adopted a resolu
lion setting the hookup fee at
$35 after hearing engineer Pi
emme's estimate of that figure,
(councilmcn and previously ad
vocated a $100 hookup fee). This is
the service connection to the sew
er main in the alleys from the
sewer pipes laid from the houses
by the property owners, who must
nay the cost of ditches, pipe, and
changing the plumbing. Piemme
said four-Inch Orangeburg pipe at
30 cents a foot is cheapest.
Should a property owner fail to
hookup while the main system Is
open, but wait until the sewer sys
tem is covered and in operation,
the cost could be $65 or more,
The tax rale per $100 of as
sessed valuation will be 24 cents
for the first year, 26 cents for the
second year, and 25 cents for the
third. Thereafter it will run an
average of 18 cents per year. In
addition there will be a $1.50
monthly service charge. The coun
cil said both the tax and the $1.50
service charge per month could
be raised or lowered as the need
arises.
Tom Chatburn, speaking for
United California Bank, said the
bank has such confidence in the
own and Its people that it wants
to buy the $110,000 in sewer bonds,
but will loan any local property
owner the money for making his
sewer hookup.
"With a sewer system, he said,
the bank will automatically ap
praise property lor loan pur
poses from $300 to $500 more than
at present. Chatburn said the in
terest would be as low as pos
sible and the length of time to
pay as long as possible.
George B. Gentry said the wa
ter in Dorris Is not now polluted
and, unless the layers of hardpan
rock beneath the surface is shat
tered, is not likely to become
polluted.
The council agreed that no re
lief in water bills and-or tax
easements could he given to aged
retired citizens by the council.
Sewer service will be compul
sory. The council adopted a res
olution asking city attorney, Har
ry Boivin, Klamath Falls, to pre
pare an ordinance requiring all
buildings to be connected to the
sewer. If the bonds pass, within
six months of the start of serv
ice to allow plenty of time for
those doing their own work.
The council urged those pres
ent at the meeting to talk to
their neighbors and to ask them
to vote (or the bond issue. They
pointed out that one vole against
the bonds would kill two votes
for it. as it takes a two-thirds
majority of yes votes to pass

The light brown bread with
natural whole grain goodness
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON (NEA) - "The
President is a politician from the
time he gels up in the morning
until he goes to bed at night."
This comment by a top White
House assistant draws almost no
dissent from a host of aides and
dozens of professionals in both ma
jor parties. John F. Kennedy is
seen by many as the most com
plete political animal to occupy
the White House in decades.
Yet his key associates, and
leading Democrats across the
country, are quick to insist he
does not practice politics at the
expense of a proper exercise of
statecraft or an understanding of
government.
Says a friend: "He is very much
at home in politics. But he's just
as much at home kicking the gong
around with Walter Lippmann."
Many Republicans naturally
quarrel with the Democratic prop
osition that the President never
puts politics above the national
interest. But this rarely affects
their judgment of his skills. One
GOP spokesman privately calls
him a "superb politician."
Acknowledging this. Republicans
in the new Congress, neverthe
less, are undertaking now a long
campaign to "position the Presi
dent to his disadvantage for 1964
The President knows the battle Is
joined over issues like tax re
duction, spending and medicare
and is in turn trying to box In the
GOP.
To search out the ingredients
in tiie political makeup of Ken
nedy and those he has tied closely
to him, this reporter talked with
those intimates, with more de
tached observers, and wilh lead
ing professionals in some 25 states.
Among the evident elements:

Why Color TV ?
1. It's real, true to life, enjoyable!
2. It's on NBC, ABC and on CBS In February
3. Color programs increased 100 over past
years, now at least 42 hours a week, not
counting "specials".
4. Priced within reach of everyone now . . . and the prices won't
be coming down.
5. Get the realism of true color in your home now. If you don't
have color TV you are only seeing half of the picture.
WHY HAPCO ?
1. Two of the finest makes available ... RCA VICTOR
AND GENERAL ELECTRIC.
2. Finest quality cabinets and styling.
3. Security sealed and precision etched circuitry for the greatest

5. Trained technicians on color and black and white.

campaign of 1957-60. Whereas
Franklin D. Roosevelt had his

Bailey, "went the trail alone

G. iPat) Brown or Chicago's May
or Richard Daley usually not to
talk strict politics but to ask
things like: "How's the housing
desegregation order going to af
fect your area?"
Kennedy savors the rich, com
bative detail of politics. Aide
Lawrence O'Brien says that often
when the President has a free
moment his mind seems to gravi
tate naturally to political mat
lers.
He may recall an exciting turn
in the presidential campaign:
"Remember when we sat in a
room with that guy and he
said . . ,?"
Or he may look to something
new: "Now that the Republicans
have the Pennsylvania state
house, how is Bill Green (Phila
delphia Democratic boss) going to
get along without that state pa
tronage?
David Powers, aide, friend, and
"court jester," says Kennedy for
years has enjoyed hearing him
recite again and again vote to
tals which were significant mile
stones in his career.
The President's old favorite was
the score he rang up in 1052 in
his first Senate race against Re
publican Henry Cabot Lodge.
Now it s the small total which
would have been enough to switch
50 electoral votes, and the elec
tion, to Richard Nixon.

The President's competitive in
stincts, sharp enough to embar
rass his Democratic foes in I960,
seem not to have flagged wilh
two years in the White House.
Powers asserts: "He not only
wants to win he waits all the
votes!"
There is nothing formalized or
systematic in the President's at
tention to politics. He keeps no
lists of men to call regularly. Po
litical conferences tend to be off-
the-cuff affairs, stimulated by the
presence of his political aides or
the sudden arising of a problem.
"He's not a regular bull ses
sion guy,' says one Administra
tion man. "That's not the Ken
nedy style in politics or anything
else."
A high associate agrees, saying
the President seldom sits down
and says out loud: "This course
is politically wise, and this is
not."
When the political mood is on
him he acts al any hour. A few
days before the 1962 election, an
Eastern leader was marching in a
city parade. He was lapped on
the shoulder and told to get to
a telephone for long-distance call
from Washington.
'How're you doing?" asked the
President.

TELEVISION PERSONALITY
I960 victory was aided by
uations the nation over, his atten
tion to small things, his ability to
dramatize himself in what some
observers call the "politics of per
sonality."
Republicans speak candidly of
this latter talent. Painfully aware
of the success of his recent tele
vision interview, they abandoned
their first impulse to demand
equal time.
Top aide and counsel ineodore
C. Sorensen argues, too, that Un
President is a great reader
the public mood. In Sorensen's
view, it is tnis more man any
thing which explains Kennedy's
celebrated appetite for stacks of
daily newspapers.
Everything, from the hottest lor
eign policy crisis to a rivers and
harbors bill has its political mean
ing. All hands agree that Kenne
day weighs this factor soberly at
each turn. Though he seeks his
aides' views on this matter, he
frequently supplies his own an
swers belore tne omers can
speak.
Keen as bis political interest is,
the heavy demands of the presi
dency keep him from getting into
it on the scale he would like.
For every state he has visited
in the past two years, there are
two or three clamoring lor his ap
pearance. Mostly he has to fit
politics into the small open spaces
of his crowded day.
The same is Brctty much true
for his brother Bobby and his
chief political assistants in I h e
While House. Kenneth O'Donnell.

As the President embarks on
the two-year buildup toward re
nomination and "another election
battle in 1964, this problem plagues
him It was no smail factor in
the decision to assign his able
brother-in-law. Stephen Smith, to
major party repair work in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi
gan and Washington.
Smith's signal, given in the pres
ence of Bobby Kennedy, was this
presidential utterance: "We'd bet
ter have a look at some of these
states."
For his aides say Kennedy does
not share the glib confidence in
his reelection which he often sees
expressed in print.

Michigan, Illinois and California
all seem to him hard battle
grounds, especially if New York's
Rockefeller should be the GOP
nominee. And he worries about
new Southern defections stemming
from the 1962 Ole Miss racial
controversy.
Toward 1964. therefore, he ex
hibits the built-in caution of the
practiced political piofessional.
That, say all sources, is what he
is.
