In Th
Day's IVens
By FRANK JENKINS
Today's weirdest story;
The $7.5 million in negotiable
Treasury Certificates that got lost
in the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco. It is presumed
that they were dropped by error
into a waste basket and were lat
er burned along with the rest of
the basket's contents.
appears '
No harm was done. Nobodv had
paid a bill with them. Nobody
had given them as security for a
loan. In that event, a debt would
have been created. The debt
could have been paid only with
money or negotiable paper.
It would then have been a horse
of another color.
Question:
Why don't we just print mon
ey enough to run the government
instead of taking the money
away irom us taxpayers?
The answer, of course, is that
money is a commodity, and as
such is subject to tlie law of
supply and demand. If too much
money is printed, its value will
shrink just as happens when too
any potatoes are grown. Or too
much grain. Or too much cotton.
When that occurs, the PRICE
goes dow n.
That suggests another thought.
Our government is spending a
tremendous amount of money. It
is putting it on the cuff which
is -to say, it is adding it to the
national dcbl. The national debt
is now about $300 billion. That's
a LOT of money.
How will it be paid?
Presumably with paper money.
Question:
What will happen if the govern
ment puts out TOO MUCH paper
money?
from Mcdlord this morning
comes another interesting story.
As delivered by the teletypes, it
reads like this:
A Rube Goldberg contraption
consisting mainly of a five-gallon
cream can, was confiscated yes
terday and its owner was arrest
ed by state police and an Oregon
Liquor Control enforcement offi
cer. He was lodged in the Jackson
county jail on a charge of operat
ing a still. He told the Officers he
had made between two and
three gallons of moonshine
which, he said. HE HAD CON
SUMED HIMSELF.
He may, of course, have been
spoofing.
But suppose he isn't. Suppose
he really did consume it all him
self. That raises this question:
Is it illegal in Oregon to make
moon and drink it all yourself?
I don't know.
But it must be illegal. It just
about HAS to be illegal. If every
body made his own, the tax struc
ture would be badly cracked.
Anyway
It's a weird world we're living

Pan-American Highway
Link Backed
By DICK BRIGGS
A move to establish Highway
97 as part of the Pan American
Highway which one day will
link Fairbanks. Alaska, with the
southern tip of South America,
was endorsed unanimously by the
Klamath County Chamber of
Commerce during its regular
weekly meeting at the Pelican
Cafe, Wednesday.
The endorsement was made
upon the recommendation of tlie
Okanogan Cariboo Trail Associa
tion of Washington which seeks to
attend the Pan American Congress
May l through 18 at the nation's
capital this year, and propose
that a route linking cities in
Alaska with those of the Pacific
Coast states, Nevada and Ari
zona, be designated as the of

The association w ill recommend

"We are critically short in the

"1 think that staff shortage can

increased number of bod sores,
but no one has died because of

Tells of Attack
Andrew St. George, identified
as a Hungarian free-lance photo
grapher who accompanied the
raiding party, told the National
Broadcasting Company (NBC) the
Russian ship was attacked with
explosives, machine gun fire and
cannon fire.
He told NBC he did not know
the extent of the damage inflict
ed and said it was not certain
the ship had been sunk.
The Soviet Union prutested to
the United States Wednesday
against the "piratical attack" on
March 18 at Isabcla De Sagua
It said Washington was to blame
for the attack and warned the1
incident was leading to a "dan
gerous aggravation" of the Cuban
situation.
A spokesman for the U.S. State
Department said the government
was "doing everything it possibly
an" to prevent hit-and-run raids
against Cuba from American ter
ritory.
Anti-Castro
Ship Blasts
Dismay U.S.
WASHINGTON (UPI - The
U.S. government is becoming in
creasingly dismayed by hit-and-
run attacks on Russian ships and
Cuban ports by anti-Castro refu
gee groups.
The State Department said Wed
nesday night, in commenting on
new refugee foray, that such
attacks were "irresponsible" and
'deplorable" and strengthened
rather than weakened the Com
munist grip on Cuba.
Raids Prompt Statement
The new U.S. statement was
Idirected against a refugee opera
lion late Tuesday night or early
Wednesday in which sea raiders
sank or seriously damaged a Rus
sian freighter loading sugar at the
north Cuban port of Caibarien.
Officials said the administration
feels such operations merely raise
tension in the Caribbean and
give Castro additional ammunition
for tightening his police state
grip on the island.
It was the second refugee at
tack on Russian shipping in a Cu
ban port in 10 days. A Soviet
protest over the first raid was en
route to the State Department
even as the anti-Castro group
struck again.
State Department spokesman
Lincoln White, in condemning the
latest attack, recalled that the
United States had strongly criti
cized the first assault a hit-and-run
r?;.i on a Russian ship on
Mar U 18 by the Alpha 66 group.
Terms Raids "Deplorable"
White said the new raid was
"equally deplorable, equally irre
sponsible and equally ineffectual
as a means of dealing with the
unsatisfactory situation which ex
ists in the Caribbean."

that authorized by the 19til legis
lature. He called her charges
"most unfortunate."
J. N. Peet, secretary of the
Board of Control, said it is true
that the hospital presently has 74
staff vacancies, but he said these
relied a downward trend in the
number of patients.
"It is true there have been tome
problems in providing adequate
patient carc for the 60-90 bed care
patients," he said.
Brooks said one problem in re
cent years has been that im
proved methods of treatment have
permitted the discharge of pa
tients who formerly helped care
for other, bedridden patients.

Down Pact
NEW YORK lUPli - The last
striking union defied its leader
ship Wednesday and voted down
a contract, forcing the newspaper
shutdown into its 111th day and
depriving millions of the editions
they had expected to see again
today.
In morning newspaper offices
the 191 to HI negative vote of
the photocngravers union was
greeted with shock and disbelief.
The presses had been cleaned
and inked, lead heated in pots,
and editorial workers alerted lo

If only 41 of tlie dissenters had
changed their mind just before
voting, almost 20.000 idle newspa.

work today.
At the Daily News about 50 edi
torial employes as many as

watched a television set for word
of the vote. When tlie news
flashed on tlie screen they stared
at one another, then silently left

the welfare of the nation.
On Medicare, Dr. Durno said,
"I believe that all people over

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(UPD The weatherman gave a
"go" signal today to a planned
U.S. attempt to fire a mighty
Saturn-1 rocket into space this
afternoon. But scientists called off '
a satellite shot that had been set
for tonight as part of a double-

The 163-foot Saiurn-1, packing
the horsepower of 300,000 auto
mobiles, was scheduled to blast
off on a thunderous, seven-minute
flight at 10:30 a.m. PST.
Early today, officials postponed
the planned launching of a three
sUigo Delta rocket with a 410
pound atmosphere-studying satel
lite aboard. The shot, which had
been set for tonight, "is oft until
early next week," a federal space
agency spokesman said.
The delay was blamed on one
of Hie satellite's eight instruments.
The Saturn-1 and its sister "su-

nauts into weeks-long orbits
around earlh and later to tlie moon
itself this deead?.
