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,

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.

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.

reasons.
"But one essential aspect of
maintaining confidence in the

and stable international monetary
system is to continue to stand

fixed price of $35 an ounce and
to avoid any actions that would
encourage speculation for a high

The treasury is hypersensitive
about any action that might lead
to international speculation on
the price of gold.

tries holding dollar balances to
mean that the United States bad
decided the official price is-too
low; that in some way, directly
or indirectly, the U.S. was on the
way to revising the official price.
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.

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
