CHAMBER
COMMENTS

KLAMATH COUHTY CM AM MI OF COMMUCI
In tlia pages of. the annual
Progress Edition of the Herald
and News, the chamber of com
merce, tlirough a full-page ad
verUsemcnt, attempted to suggest
a few of the ways in which,
through organized voluntary ef
fort, it is continually striving to
develop a greater and better
Klamath County.
Even if everything the chamber
had done were recounted in the
ad it would be possible to con
elude that it had not done all
the things it could and should
have done. No chamber docs. Or
so argues Bill Bird, former man
ager of the Grater Boston Cham
ber of Commerce, who now is
western vice president of one of
the nation's largest insurance
companies. According to Bird,
who has virited, worked with or
spoken before chambers of com
merce in every state, no cham
ber is adequately financed to do
the job it could and should be!
doing to properly discharge its

vital to the building of a strong
community and a strong nation'
The chamber of today is Inter
ested in schools and zoning, hous
ing, traffic control, cultural and
recreational activities, and many
other aspects of the community
in addition to those having to
do strictly with business and com
merce. Today's chamber leader
ship recognizes that a well-round-i
cd community with complete facil
ities will not only be happier,
but will also be a much better
and more prosperous place in
which to live and make a living.
The 500 business, industrial, pro
fessional and agricultural leaders
who make up the membership of
the Klamath County Chamber
of Commerce lay no claim to hav
ing a corner on all the ideas that
are best for Klamath County.
That is why the copy in this
id seeks your counsel. Any citi
zen who has an idea that will
assist in building at the local
level a community based on the
highest principles, will always
lind an audience fur his sugges-
lions in the Klumalh County
Chamber ol Commerce.
Sinclair Gives
Boost To Jail
AUSTIN, Tex. (UP1) Upton
Sinclair, whose muckraking nov
els attacked the social ills of the
early MflOs, told an audience of
University of Texas students Fri
day night, "If you ever need pub
licity lor a cause, get arrested."
"If you're taken to Jail, you'll
have a lot of fun, because it is
a most interesting rxiericncc,"
the 84-year-old Sinclair said.
Sinclair was at the school to
address the Challenge Colloquium
a student-sponsored conference on
individualism.

responsibilities in today's complex
and rapidly changing society.
Today's chamber of commerce
bears little resemblance to early
chambers which were formed
principally as boards of trade or
booster clubs. Developing the
trade of its area and "boosting
its community are still an impor
tant part of any chamber's job,
although the techniques have un
dergone radical refinement over
the years.
Today a strong and Influential
chamber finds itself deeply in
volved in legislative matters from
the local level right on up to the;
Congress of the United States.!
And why not, if the interests of:
the business, industrial and pro
fessional men and women who
belong to the chamber are to be
voiced?
Today's chamber finds itself
engaged in programs for better
citizenship such as the Economic
Discussion program, the Action
Course in Practical Politics and
the Freedom vs. Communism
course. And why not, if you be
lieve that basic knowledge of the
workings of the free enterprise
system, effective participation in
the political party of one's choice,
and recognition of the evils of the
political and ideological system
which threatens our existence are

Green Light
Given Death
HELENA, Mont. (UPD Mon
tana's House of Representatives
today killed a Senate bill to
iholish capital punishment in Mon
tana.
Without one word of comment,
the Hepublican-controlled House
adopted an adverse report on the
legislation from its judiciary com
mittee. The bill had passed the
Democratic-controlled senate by a
four-vote margin.
The measure would have sub
tituted life imprisonment for the
gallows in Montana as the maxi
mum penalty for first-degree mur
der. Montana has not hanged a
convicted murderer since 1!H2.
Since tlien, eitlier judges or juries
have refused to order the death
penalty or governors have com
muted death sentences to life im
prisonmenl.
Tlic bill failed to arouse much
comment in Montana, either in the
legislature or around the state
There was almost no debate in
the Senate. The author of the
measure. Sen. .lohn L. McKenn,
I) I)eer llge, did not argue for
his bill. Ho asked his colleagues
to "vote your conscience."
Vofe Slated To Stymie
Record High Spending
WASHINGTON (UPD - Repub
lican tax law writers will get a
chance this coming week to de
liver a protest vote against the
record high spending budgeted by
President Kennedy
The House Ways and Means
Committee will interrupt public
hearings on Kennedy's tax reduc-i
lion program Wednesday to vote
on his proposal that the legal ceil
ing on the national debt be kept
at a record high $308 billion
through June 30.
Under existing law the legal
limit would drop to $305 billion on
April 1, leaving the Treasury with!
almost no elbow room for man
agement of the government's red
ink spending.
According to the Treasury's last
report, the actual debt now stands
at $304,007,108,346.17 or about
$7.7 billion higher than it was a
year earlier. Red - ink spending
during the fiscal year ending next
June 30 is forecast at $8.8 billion.
Although the administration can
get through the present fiscal year
with a debt limit of $108 billion
the ceiling thereafter will have to
tie raised sharply above that fig
ure.
Vreasury Secretary Douglas
Dillon has told Congress that the
administration this coming spring
will ask that the ceiling be boost
ed to perhaps $120 billion to make
way for the $11.9 billion in deficit!
spending budgeted by Kennedy
for the fiscal year starting July 1.
Only tile stop-gap three-months
extension will be considered by
the Ways and Means Committee
next week. After public hearings,
the legislation probably will be
put to a committee vote Thursday
and called up for floor action the
following week.
As a preliminary warm-up for.
the battle most, if not all, com
mittee Republicans are expected
to line up in opposition to the
initial three months debt extension.
Most GOP fiscal experts con
cede privately that congressional
control over the legal limits is
not a practical weapon for holding!
down the spending of funds voted
previously by Congress.
In fact, key Democratic law
makers contend that the last time1
(during the Eisenhower adminis
tration I Uie executive branch was
forced to operate within an ultra
tight debt limit, the fiscal juggling
that was required actually cost
the taxpayers extra money.
One of every nine homes built
In the United States during 1961
was mobile.
JFK's Italy
Trip Dated
ROME (UPD President Ken
nedy probably will make his
planned trip to Italy some time
in May, according to the Rome
Catholic Action daily II Quotidia
no.
The paper said White House
sources told Social Democrat
leader Giuseppe Saragat in Wash
ington recently that May was the
month for the President's visit,
The paper said that apparently
Saragat reported the probable date
of the visit to President Antonio
Segni and Foreign Minister Aud
io Piccioni when he saw them
about his own trip Friday.
Sources at the American Em
bassy in Rome said they expect
ed to have some information
about the date "in the near fu
ture" but that as yet they had
no official information from Wash
ington.
11 Quotidiano also reported that
the President's visit would be
partly official and partly private
It said that the President would
be on an official visit in Rome
to meet with government leaders
and then would visit Turin, Flor
ence and Milan in a private ca
pacity. Other Italian newspapers
carried similar reports.
The sources at the Embassy
said that it was "unlikely" that
the President would lake time to
make such a private visit.
