The occasion is tlie Oregon Angus Association's High Country Angus Sale held at the Klamath County Fairgrounds yesterday and the Rotary Club's cattlemen's luncheon on Friday. The luncheon was a fascinating affair. It brought together not only members of the Angus As sociation but cattlemen specializ ing in other breeds from all over the Klamath Country. The striking part of it was that here was a group of men who had come together to talk not about the PROBLEMS of their industry but about their indus try's PROGRESS. There was no talk about SURPLUSES and what to do with them. Instead, the talk was all about how to pro duce more anid better beef so that people may have more and better meat to eat. In these days, that is most un usual. Question: Why are there no beef surplus es to worry about? There could be beef surpluses Since 1930, the number of cattle in the United Stales has in creased by 55 per cent. In this same period, the number of peo ple has increased by only 47 per cent. So- In a period when the cattle to tal has been increasing faster than the population total and when other staple foods have been pil ing up and piling up until the surpluses are bursting the walls of the warehouses all over tnc country, why is there no surplus of beef? The answer, I think, is this The cattlemen have been wise enough to keep the nose of the government camel out from under the cattle tent. That must be about the long and the short of it. That suggests another question WHY have the cattlemen been wise enough to keep the nose of the government camel out from under the cattle tent? The only answer 1 can think of is that they are just THAT KIND OF PEOPLE. This answer was confirmed at the Rotary Club's cattlemen's luncheon on Friday by Lyle Hoyt. sales manager of tlie Oregon An gus Association and managing ed itor of the Western Slates Angus News, when in a lively and inter esting talk he gave this version of tlie Cattleman's Creed: "I do not choose to be a com mon man. It is my right to be un:inmon if I can. I seek OP PORTUNITY not security. "I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having tlie stale look alter me. I want to take u calculated risk to dream and to build, to fail or succeed. "I refuse to baiter incentive for the dole. I prefer the challenge of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will nol trade my independence for bene ficences nor my dignity for a hand-out. "I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand elect. proud and unafraid: to think and act lor myself: to enjoy the bene ' fits of my creations and to face (Continued ea Page Z-A) lal Boon Eyes Mars For life On Planet PALESTINE, Tex. (UPD In-1 struments raised by a giant bal loon from Texas to the fringe of space and brought to earth in Tennessee Saturday gave man his first unrestricted look at Mars and possibly an answer to the question of life on the planet. Elated scientists, successful af ter 15 attempts to launch the un manned tandem balloon and its 6,300-pound payload, said they may have a preliminary report within two days on whether the Martian atmosphere can support life. The balloon was launched Fri day from Palestine and came to earth Saturday morning near Pu laski, Tcnn., with its instrument package and 36-inch telescope. Scientist in Pulaski said they were tickled pink" by the 12-hour flight. Dr. Marvin Schwarzchild, direc- tor of Project Stratosphere II. ex amined tlie balloon s payload at Pulaski and said the blue box containing a recording tape was undamaged. "The blue box is in perfect con dition and this is what we are most interested in," lid said. "How wonderful it came down here (where there are no trees)." Tlie findings may show whether water vapor, carbon dioxide and possibly othar gases that lend themselves to support of life forms are in tlie Martian atmosphere. It will be two or three months. however, betore scientists are able to deciper all the details of the study. I he experiment was jointly sponsored by Princeton School Wall Fails On 40 SEVILLE, Spain (UP1 - The rain-weakened ceiling and a wal collapsed in an exclusive Roman Catholic grammar school here Saturday, trapping 40 small boys beneath the wreckage. At least lour ol the boys were killed and 25 others injured, none of them seriously. The boys, aged three to seven were about to leave the Collegio del Santo Angel de La Guarda i College of the Guardian Angel) for the weekend when the tragedy occurred. Officials said they believed re cent heavy rains, which have brought floods to this area, may have weakened the building and caused the cave-in. China Signs Border Pact On Pakistan KARACHI, Pakistan UPII - Communist China Saturday sign ed a border agreement with Paki stan that split the difference in their territorial claims, but show ed continued hostility to India in its other border dispute. The Pakistani Foreign Office announced that the agreement was signed in Peking Saturday, settling claims to 3.400 square! miles of disputed territory along a 300-mile line of mountainous frontier. n. It said the agreement gave Pakistan 1,350 square miles, in eluding 750 square miles it had not previously owned, while China retained 2,050 square miles, all of which had been marked out as Chinese territory by a British survey in 189!). In New Delhi, a Foreign Office spokesman said India had deliv ered a note to the Chinese Com munist charge d'affaires protest ing tlie border agreement on grounds "Pakistan is in illegal occupation of portions of Kash mir" bordering China. A similar note is to be given to Pakistan University and tlie University of California but the U. S. govern ment put up the $5 million so far spent on it. 1 ho hussians nave a space probe en route to Mars but it will not be in position to report any thing before early summer. The Stratosnhere II oroiwt balloon may have gotten tlie same infor mation months earlier. The oalloon actually two bal loons separated by a kind of gir dle was launched from Palestine about 5 p.m. Friday. Drifting northeast through tlie night, reached a maximum altitude of 77,000 feet, above 96 per cent of the earth s atmosphere. Toward dawn, it was brought down to 44,000 feet, where the instruments and telescope were cut loose by remote control and drifted to earth on a parachute. The instruments landed across a fence 10 miles north of Pulaski, Tenn. William Pierce, a mechanic, telephoned Sheriff Jack Cox. The sheriff and state trooper Homer Smith guarded them until scien tists from Huntsville, Ala., ar rived. Tlie scientists pronounced the installments and telescope in per fect condition. The plastic balloon came down a few minutes later 14 miles west of Pulaski. It was in good condition but will not be used again to lift instruments into space. Tlie instrument package in cluded a telescoie, detecting de vices, telemetry, tracking and re cording equipment and a balome ter. ; The balomcter, an instrument developed by Texas Instruments. Inc., weighs less than a grain of rice. But it can detect radiation signals as small as one trillionth oi a watt. As the balloon ascended, scien tists fixed its instrument on the moon. They are comparatively well acquainted with tlie moon and needed tlie readings from it to give a comparison with read ings from Mars. r ' Hi7 Klamath Bull Captures Price, Judging Honors At High Country Sale CHAMPION BULL Rainmore 51 I.

SALEM lUPl) Spectators sal breathlessly silent Friday as two parents of children who had been molested pleaded for enactment of tougher sex oflcnsc laws. The testimony came during the first public hearing by the House Judiciary Committee on a 5 -bill package of sex offender laws. Five hundred people were on hand when the session began, and more than 100 remained five hours later when the session was recessed un til March 12. More than 30 witnesses ap peared. Mrs. John Gaughcr, Portland told the committee a man who molested her 6-year-old daughter and the 10-year-ofd daughter of a neighbor was still free. She said the atlackcr, 60, had admitted his! crime, but was free on bail "Why?" she asked. James Montgomery, a member of the Portland YMCA hoard, told of his 10-year-old daughter being molested. He recited how he tried in vain for three years to get the man convicted. Montgomery also told the shocked audience that he had been molested at the age of 12. He explained he lived in a thinly populated rural area, and was afraid to mention the incident to his father, and "had no ncighborsl to talk to." In a sometimes halting voice he related how the experience did nol excile his emotions at t h c lime, but as he grew older and his emotions matured be began to feel his normal urges were im moral. "I had an unbalanced cvahia tion of sex." he said. "I didn't know if I was wrong or that child hood excrience was wrong." He pleaded (or enactment of the five sex bills. cscialy the con trovcrsial civil commitment meas ure. Portland Attorney Jonathan Newman presented tlie American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ar gument against the civil commit ment bill. He said the measure, I1BI120, would allow civil commitment un der a process not tolerated I n criminal law. He said tlie bill was of doubtful constitutionality. He stressed that a person Is entitled to the safeguards provided by criminal statutes. He said tlie hill did not call for findings of fact before commitment could occur. Multnomah Counly District At torney George Van Hoomison said he supported all five bills, but warned lliey would not solve the problem. He termed the civil com milment bill "most modest," and recommended the wording of the proposal be simplified. LAKP --- vii ii ii rt ft . - - -sUhoilv.

Court Gets Strike Plea SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-A no- strike injunction against the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks was before a federal court Satur day, but the Southern Pacific said 1 lie union wlis engaged only in "procedural maneuvers." The railroad said the union s petition Friday to the U.S. Dis trict Court in Son Francisco has no effect on the restraining order issued Tuesday by Superior Judge James T. O'Kccfe of San Mateo County. The Injunction in O'Kccfe's court was obtained by the com pany just hours before the clerks planned their oft-postponed strike against tlie West's lurgest rau road. Tlio clerks were forbidden to strike before a March 8 hearing in Judge O'Kccfe's court. The clerks, in asking tlie feder al court to take jurisdiction over the San Mateo County order, said the complaint in tlie Superior Court violated a federal law tlie Railway Labor Act. "The action is a civil action ol which tins court has original jurisdiction, the union said. Sen. Grenfell Found Guilty PORTLAND (UPD William Grenfell, a former stain senator whose political ambitions were dampened by a fatal traffic crash last year, was found guilty Fn day of failing to remain at the scene of an accident. A Circuit Court jury of eight women and four men returned the verdict only a little more than an iiour after being given the case. The vote was ll-l. "I think the Jury made a ter rible mistake," Grenfell calmly told newsmen alter receiving the decision. Typewriter Purchase Sparks Row SALEM (UPD - Another elec trical device was sending a shock " through the legislature as the 1963 ' session Saturday ended its seventh week. Last week it was a speaker system. This week, it was an electric typewriter or rather- 45 of them ordered for use of House and Senate employes at a cost of $19,296. Republican Shirley Field late Friday termed the order a "colos sal blunder" on tlie part of the Democratic legislative leadership. As she spoke, the Ways and Means Committee already had moved earlier in the day to ward off blows expected over tlie type writer order. The committee ordered Its fis cal officer to study the order and report back. The budget-cutling committee has been eliminating such modern equipment from state agency budget requests. "We may be accused of acting at cross purposes," Rep. Stafford Hanscll told other committee members, "for the legislature' s using different equipment than we 4 are allowing." House Speaker Clarence Barton called tlie order an economy move. He said the old typewriters required a full time repair man. The new ones, he said, would go to state agencies alter the session. Miss Field said an excessive sum was paid for the machines. She said Barton exceeded his au thority. She added she has been to'd many of the secretaries do not even know how to use electric typewriters. There was some progress' on serious matters during tlie week. Thoughts of Senate and House Tax Committee members began to jell on how to meet the state's revenue problem. The informal outlines of their concensus ui dicated more income taxes, a cigarelte tax, and some minor revenue measures, but nothing drastic. Members of tlie two committees have been meeting together at limes in an effort to avoid an impasse between the two houses later on. "Jarton and Senate Presi dent Ben Musa predicted their co- operation would shave weeks oft tlie length of the session. Musa pegged it at 120 days (or a mid. May adjournment.
