AprU 1. 1963 PAGE 7-B Laws Okayed By Chamber Association MOUNT SHASTA Th? new bv laws of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Siskiyou County were passed Thursday night at a meeting at t h e Ski 'House over the objective of Harry Crabbin. representing the yreka Chamber of Commerce. The Yreka Chamber of Com merce asked modilication of the nenly drafted bylaws lo make the county chamber of commerce coordinating body only. "It should not have the power lo make binding policies or to override any stand that might be taken on an individual cham ber," Crebbin stated as reflect ing the Yreka membership thinking. Leslie Lenton, Dunsmuir, asso ciated chamber president, ex plained the new bylaws provide for the tabling of any motion by any dissenting chamber for one month. A two-thirds vote of a quorum president is required at the next monthly meeting to pass a tabled motion. Representatives from Dunsmuir, Mount Shasta, Weed, and Scott Valley cham bers thought this provision a suf ficient safeguard. Happy Camp, a new association member, ab stained from voting. Ernest Hayden, Scott Valley, noted the associated chamber has undertaken advertising signs, bro chures, exhibits, and backed leg islation favorable to county prog ress last year and felt the county-wide chamber should continue this progress without being ham pered by localized situations. "There is no reason why each chamber should not pursue its own program too," he said. J. D. Proctor, Scott Valley, dis tributed copies of the fish and game resolution passed recently by the Inter-County Chamber of Commerce of Northern California, a six-county body. This resolu tion calls for election of fish and game commissioners by district (or better representation of the interests of the people. It would eliminate appointment of mem bers of this body by the governor, as is done now. The resolution also calls for a northern county deer season clos ure the third Sunday in October. Local chambers will seek en dorsement of this resolution by local sportsmen and other inter ested bodies. 1- r- v.

While NEVER SAY DIE The Fat Lady of Long Beach, Mrs. Mary Ferguson, 36, has a firm no for the candy machine as she arrives at San Francisco International Airport Sun day. Two weeks ago she started her never-say-die, one year effort to reach a weight of 128 pounds from a starting weight of 224-pounds, by staying in a Long Beach notel and living on liquids. Now a guest of a Bay Area reducing salon, she hopes to strip off more of the unwanted weight. U PI Telephoto Goose Lake SCD Hears Experf On Conservation Cold Pegged Firm A t $35 Per Ounce By Uncle Sam Kennedy has again reaffirmed its intention to hold to that price despite re newed pressure from the domes tic industry (or a subsidy, and continuing demands by foreign producers for an increase in the basic price. The U.S. position is "to oppose any proposals that would lead anyone to believe we do not think the $35 price is the proper price (or gold." Why this firm adherence to $35? Because, according to the U.S. Treasury, tampering with the price would raise the risk of dis rupting the monetary system "which is so vital to the U.S. economy and the economy of the Free World." The administration s stand was spelled nut in blunt terms to the domestic industry last week he fore the National Western Mining Conference in Denver. Leland Howard, director of the U.S. office of domestic gold and silver operations, said gold must be considered from the stand point of the national interest as a whole. And. in arguing against subsidies, he said "Any effort to assist a relative few people to keep or obtain jobs, no matter how desirable would, instead of helping those in the gold industry, run the gravei risk of disrupting the monetary system on which not only their own livelihood but the livelihood of all of us depends." U.S. Production Down Howard acknowledged that gold production in the United Slates has been on the wane "while South Africa's production was in creasing Irom Jolo million to $803 million. Rhodesian and Ghanaian pro duction also increased, while Mexico's declined and Australia's held about even. I lie U .S. dollar nas become a "kingpin" of international finan cial stability, Howard said. A fundamental reason for this has been the U.S. policy of buy ing and selling gold at a fixed price to foreign governments, central hanks and others for set tlement of international balances. Other governments hold the dollar because of our policy of buying and selling gold at a fixed price." Howard said. "The dollar is the only currency that main tains this link between monev and dollars at a fixed price Rut what has this got to do with subsidies? After all. gold is subsidized in other countries, and iculture and other industries are subsidized in tne united States. "The answer is," Howard said "that the monetary units of other countries do not have the status of the dollar, and other countries do not have the responsibility of maintaining a fixed relationship between their currencies and gold. Gold in the United Mates is a monetary metal and cannot be treated as a commodity, as are products of other industries, or as gold is treated in some coun tries." Increases Propoird Proposals now before Congress would establish a $105-an-ounce price for gold to be used in the domestic market (or such items as dental fillings. Gold sold for monetary use would remain at $35. But the treasury fears that even a price revision limited to industrial uses would encourage speculation (or a higher price in the monetary uses. "We cannot take side excur sions in gold that others will in terpret as a sign we do not think the present price for gold is cor lect," Howard said. The treasury contends that this is an international as well as a domestic issue. "We must think of the dollar not only as involved in our do mestic economy, but as a reserve currency held by others as a Morse Raps Cuba Raids WASHINGTON UPl Sen. Wayne Morse. D-Ore., Monday en dorsed the administration's crack down against anti . Castro raids from U.S. territory. He said if the more militant Cuban refugees "were so anxious to fight against tyranny, they should have stayed in Cuba." He said in a Senate speech that the hit-and-run raids against Cuba and Soviet ships there would in volve the United States in another bristling showdown with Russia. His comment followed the admin istration's Saturday announcement of the crackdown. If the United States is to be forced into such a confrontation. he said, "it should be on behalf of ourselves and not because we were forced into it by a hot-head ed group of guests in our own country." Morse, chairman of the Senate Latin American Affairs subcom mittee, said the exile raids only give Russia a "justification for re maining to 'protect' Cuba." The forays also give t idel Castro jus tification for boosting his armed forces and repressive measures against the Cuban people, he said.

"The dol lar has attained this position in ternationally (or a number of reasons. "But one essential aspect of maintaining confidence in the dollar and maintaining a strong and stable international monetary system is to continue to stand leady to buy and sell gold at the fixed price of $35 an ounce and to avoid any actions that would encourage speculation for a high er price o( gold." The treasury is hypersensitive about any action that might lead to international speculation on the price of gold.

President Kennedy maintained during the first two years of his administration that the United States was not on the way to re vising the official price. Larlier this week. Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore.. asked for a treas ury assessment of reports that France has been encouraging oth er countries to increase their de mands on U.S. gold reserves. He released the text of a letter to Treasury Secretary Douglas Dil lon asking him to comment on the reports. The letter said, in part: There have been in the news recently reports that the French government is acquiring Ameri can obligations for which it could demand payment in gold. One re port fixed the amount already in the hands of the French govern ment at more than $1 billion. Another related report has been to the effect that the French are seeking to encourage Euro pean banking houses and others holding U.S. assets to demand; payment for them in gold. - ; "I would appreciate your as sessment of these reports. To what extent do you think they are; true, and to what extent could they threaten our financial stabil ity?" The technique of carrying out U.S. gold policy may vary under different administrations. But the basic policy ot central izing the U.S. gold reserves in the hands of the government and maintaining a fixed price of $35 an ounce has held for 29 years. And it appears that Kennedy is determined to continue It for -at least another year. Grangers Hear Of Accident Klamath County Grange women and their guests attending I h e ilistrict Xn. 5 Home Economics Conference in the. Shasta View Giange Hall on March 28 received word before the meeting that the honored guest, Mrs. Josie Cross. District No. 5 chairman from Madras, had fallen on her way to the meeting and sulfcrcd a hrnken wrist. In the absence of Mrs. Cross Zetta Sullivan, county home, eco nomics chairman, presided over a short business meeting after the noon luncheon. Several busi ness matters were carried over until information could be oh Mined from Mrs. Cross at a later dale. Grange women were reminded to becin planning for the sewing, canning, crocheting, and other contests currently in progress The subordinate H.E.C. of the local cranges has the contest rules lor the various competitions. Members present for the con ference voted to send a plant to Mis. Cross. NEW PINE CREEK H. G.I Baehr of Pleasant Hill, Calif., president of Berndtson Northwest. Inc., was guest speaker at the Goose Lake Soil Conservation meeting held at the Davis Creek Grange Hall last Thursday eve ning. Lorin N. Trubschenck. pres ident of the California State As sociation of Soil Conservation Dis tricts, was also present. Baehr, representative of a com pany of engineers and surveyors, explained the purpose of the ac tion taken on the first low level phase of the Comprehensive Plan for soil conservation. The present plan will he incorporated into a booklet unless changes are sug gested. Contour maps, soil maps, and sectional and watershed resource maps were available at the meet ing for all members In study. They gave a complete picture of all the land in the district, which extends south of the Oregon-California Slate Line to Joseph Creek Range summit across the lake to the edge of the Devil's Garden. The district, with 133 mem bers, has 14.750 acres of bottom land irrigated in 19fi2. not includ ing the ,280 marginal acres of pasture land around the California shore line of Goose Lake. When complete use is made of the avail able water resources of the dis trict, there will be 26.530 more acres of land which can be irri gated, making a total of 41.2K0 acres of land of varying produc tivity, according to the plan. Although high level and final phase of the plan will not be started until July 1 and complet ed in August, the water resource maps showed the water storage potential in three reservoirs: one in Lassen Creek Basin just below the point where Cold Creek emp ties in; one on Willow Creek; and one on the North Fork of Davis Creek. In addition to the added water, the reservoirs will aid in the development of a year-round recreational center in or near Willow Ranch. "The water from the reservoirs will be allotted according to the needs and benefits required on all lands lying below t h e m," Baerh said. "It can be used as a functional tool lo implement any desired improvement of the land, promotional or development al work that augments the growth of the district, and to enrich the economy of the whole area," he added. Baehr pointed out that the first phase of the plan has cost $13,000 and that much data f o r the final phase has already been gathered. Randal Reeves, Red Bluff, Calif., a representative of the Division of Soil Conservation Serv ice of California, also attended the meeting. It was learned that he was responsible for the Goose Lake District obtaining its first $5,000 for installation of stream paces in the main streams in the idislrirt which empty into Goose Lake. Reeves was also instru mental in the district's procure ment of the $.10,000 grant to he spent over a three-year period to develop the plan. I'pon its inception several years aco. the district first went into debt for surplus machinery but is now out of debt with some money in the hank. The revenue was gained largely through rental of equipment. Directors are Carroll Cloud,, chairman. New Pine Creek; Ray Bishop, Willow Ranch. Calif.; and Earl Brunne- mer, Ronald Eckhart, and Gordon Dick, all of Davis Creek. Court Records KLAMATH FALLS MUNICIPAL COURT April I Donald Ernest Brainier, drunk. $23 lor. fcit.
