In another action, the Senate defeated a bill to allow . smoking on air conditioned buses. How ever, after the vote was an nounced, Sen. Anthony Yturri, R Ontario, announced he may move to have the bill brought up again. v The move to send the work men's compensation measure back to committee for specific amendments was spearheaded by Sen. Don Willner, D-Portland. Willner charged "this three-way bill is bad for the public, bad for the working man, and bad for the small businessman. "It is a $14 million a year Child Star Celebrates Birthday 35 HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Shirley Temple celebrated her 35th birth day today, just as she did so many others when she was Holly wood's No. 1 child star, by work ing before the cameras. Dimpled and appearing perhaps 10 years younger than 35, the dark-haired matron still harbors much of the curly haired gamin of the 1930s. Her giggle, her smile and the round innocence of her eyes cokc memories of "Baby Take a Bow," "Little Miss Marker," and "Stand Up and Cheer." .Today she was rehearsing for the Red Skelton television show. ."I guess the two most impor tant dates in a woman's life are! her 21st and 35th birthdays," Shirley said. "No one paid this much atten tion since I was starring in pic tures. And I must say it doesn't feel any different to be 35 than it did to be 34 of 31. At least I don't feel any older." She Is Unrecognized Shirley, now the mother of three children, went unrecognized in a restaurant in the CBS-TV studio. She smiled at a little boy dispatching a pink soft drink at a nearby table. ."He's drinking a Shirley Tern pie cocktail," Shirley said. "Some years ago a company wanted to bottle a drink and call it a Shirley Temple cocktail. But I said no." Shirley. Mrs. Charles Black of Woodside, Calif., has said "no" to many offers to capitalize on her name. She also has refused movie parts playing an alcoholic or a fallen woman. "It's not too convenient to fly down here from the San Francis co area," she explained. "And I refuse to play a murderess or an alcoholic because of the reaction it would have on my children and husband." Likes Her Present Life "Besides, I have no.burning de sire to act. I'm exactly what I hoped to be some day, a wife and mother. I wanted this kind of life even when I was a child star." Her youngsters are Susan, 13; Charles Jr., 11. and Lori, 9. How docs it fceL to know that wherever she goes, whatever she does, Shirley Temple Black must live with the adorable moppet that she was 30 years ago? "It's not as bad as you might think. I'p north, I'm just Mrs Black to everyone. And I keep busy with all sorts of activities," she said. Shirley and her brood some limes wakh her old movies on television. Her own reaction is that of a stranger watching an other little girl from the past sing and dance. treasure chest for the insurance companies and most of their prof its will be spent out of Oregon," he said. Pearson Opposes Move Opposing the move was Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Portland, chairman of the Senate Labor and Industries Committee which has been working on the new work men's compensation law for the past 14 weeks. Pearson charged the amend ments called for by Willner would create a monopoly insur ance fund in Oregon. Sen. Alfred Corbett, D-Portland, urged sending the bill back to committee. He said the proposed new bill posed a threat to the state insurance fund. Sen. Ted Hallock, D-Portland, opposed Willner's referral plan, and denied, that the proposed new bill was a "three-way" bill. He said the proposal would pro vide a 20 per cent increase in benefits to workmen, provide uni versal coverage, and would en courage better safety engineer- ing. Sen. Len Newbry, R-Ashland, said the real question involved was whether "we want a state monopoly or want to allow pri vate insurance in the field." He argued against the amendments, charging it would make it a one way bill. Musa Urges Surtax, Fee SALEM (UPI) An alternate income tax proposal centering on a 10 per cent surtax and a filing fee was urged today by Hep. Musa. D-The Dalles. Her husband, Senate President Ben Musa, at once endorsed it. The House Friday approved a modified net receipts income tax bill that would raise $35 million. It' appeared the bill would face revision in the Senate. Musa today indicated the Sen ate may substitute his wife's pro posal for the bill which passed the House. The "revised Musa plan" would raise about $23 million a bienni- um. the Senate president said.' Mrs. Musa. said if the House and Senate can't agree, she would suggest her plan to a conference committee. Instead of revising the state in come tax structure, (lie Musa plan would leave Oregon's personal in-i come tax system as it is, but add a 10 per cent surtax on all pres ent rates for two years. The proposal also would add the earlier Musa Plan for a flat filing fee of $5 or $7.50 or. all who must file returns in effect a minimum tax that would pick up low income earners. The new Musa Plan also would put a one per cent surtax (or the next two years on corporations with a net income over $25,000.

I . -Qu r-H &TJ 7f7 Accolade Paid Giant Cast Of 'Eliza And Lumberjack1 By KLEANOR KlIl.KltS How did Klamath Falls get so lucky? What other small city has such a galaxy of talents, and what greater assets can a town have than some starry-eyed dreamers who are at the same time prac tical, determined, hard-working, and of course, gifted? It is prob ably not possible to tell the over whelming gratitude which the community and especially the hos pital Board of Trustees feels to every single person who made Eliza and the Lumberjack" such a resounding, reverberating, even historic success. One way to make a small stab at saying "thank you" may be by way of an open fan letter, cour tesy of the Herald and News, so get ready (or an accolade. What the Klamath Players ac complished (or the community was so much more than the pro duction o( a musical play, they inspired us by making a glitter ing reality of their visions, by proving that we can and will work together (or a goal, and by giv ing us a good look at some of our natives whom wo should un derstand and appreciate more than we do. We had a convinc ing demonstration that our town is a special place with many fla vorful elements which give it an unusual glamour. Patricia Campbell may have been writing about Washington State in her book "Eliza," but the story could not have been more appropriate for Klamath Falls. Many people in the audi ence have lived in similar logging camps in this vicinity. To them the play brought memories of all kinds good, bad, painful and hu morous; it was a reminder that lite in those woods was many things, but never a bore. A VITAL ROLE The art of makeup found the master's touch in the guise of an excellent makeup crew with such expert handling as Lorraine Johnson, right, gives to Ruphayne Mannering.'

Study Aids Space Travel COLLEGE PARK, Md. (UPD Whilden F. Breen Jr., 36, who just emerged from five months along on a simulated spaceship journey, said today it would be possible for men to remain as iong as five years on real trips beyond the moon. Breen, a native of Birmingham, Ala., emerged Wednesday from a 12-by-12 foot steel chamber at the University of Maryland. He had entered it exactly five months earlier to lake part in the longest known scientific study ever made of a human being in solitary con finement. Breen told newsmen in his first press conference today that he terminated the experiment be cause of "stress." He said he prob ably could have gone on indefi nitely but that he felt there was no more that could be gained from the experiment. Dr. Jack D. Findley of the Uni versity of Maryland's psychology department, who directed the ex periment, said he was "most pleased with the experiment which resulted in much new knowledge being gained." Findley said his second project would be to make a similar test under slightly modified conditions using two men instead of one. Breen said he grew "irritable" toward the end of his five months isolation but said he used an idea made popular by Russian cosmo nauts. "I danced and sang to my self," he said, "I found it very relaxing and it helped." Ulysses S. Grant held no opin ions on slavery, but was definite ly opposed to the secession of! any of the states.

He's a middle-aged, self-made man. But he hates rules and regu lations and breaks them whenever he can. If there's a sign that says, "No , Smoking," he lights up at once. "Keep Off The Grass" is an invitation. I've seen him step right over a sign and stomp on the newly seeded lawn just for the devil of it. When a sign says "Rub, Don't Blot," he blots. Re cently we . bought a mattress which had a label vn it saying "Don't remove this label." He got a scissors and cut it off. All this is maddening, but when he breaks traffic regulations I go out of my mind. He's been stopped for speeding four times this year. He makes a game out of lying to the officer and tries, to talk his way out of a licket. Please tell me why he is like this and what 1 cdn do about it. MARRIED TO A NUT Dear Married: "The Nut" has emotional problems which go back many years. People who delight in breaking rules just to see if they can get away with It are still trying to put one over on ma and pa. The poor guy Is a case of arrested devel opment. He needs professional liclp. Dear Ann Landers: I need ad vice and fast. This is a second marriage for both my husband and me. I'm raising my husband's two children by his first wife. I have two children by my first husband. His youngsters were very young when we married and mine were, too. We saw no reason to tell them they were stepbrothers and sisters. Everything was fine until a few weeks ago when our next door neighbor's son told our chil dren they are stepbrothers and sisters. Now my husband's chil drcn gang up against my two and the four are forever quarreling and fighting. Why can't neighbors mind their own business? That little brat's loose lip is. wrecking our family. Can you help? MOTHER AND STEPMOTHER Dear Molhrr: It would be very nice indeed if neighbor kept their noses out of other people's busi ness. Hut this Isn't the nay the world works. Anyone who counts on the closed mouths of neighbors or friendi Is leaning on a klendi-r reed. Please don't heap all the blame on the mouthy little neighbor kid. The truth told directly (and far. I)' by J'ou . and your husband could have prevented this mess. At this point I can suggest only patience, fairness and affec tion to each child in turn. Dear Ann Landers: I'm a boy 11 years of age. I am writing about a family problem. 1 hope you win print it in the paper because a lot of kids I know have the same trouble. Every night there are fights at our house because of TV. Mom wants to watch some gooey love story and pa wants to see wres tling or a gun fight. There are Jour of us kids and we don't get to say a word about which channel is on. Plenty of nights it is nothing but junk. Don't you think in a free coun try the majority should rule? Thank you very much. NOTH ING TO SAV Dear Nothing To Say: Four kids in the family and you think the majority should rule? Well, remember Sydney Hook's famous words, "Majority rule is not reasonable in a prison, an insti tution for the feeble-minded, or in a family of small children." And Instead of hanging around the boob-tube every night, I'd like to recommend an old-fash ioned pastime. It's called reading. Are your parents too strict? You can benefit from the experi ences of thousands of teen-agers if you write for Ann Landers booklet, "How To Live With Your Parent s," enclosing with your request 20 cents in coin and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope.

The building will be constructed with state funds and the bid is under the amount allowed by the state The unit will be a frame build ing on a concrete .slab with an area o( 5,fi.'i0 square feel. Plans call for a six-room unit, including mice iiexinie classroom spaces ot I,!).i0 square feet and two reg ular classrooms of WS0 square feet each. The flexible classrooms may also be used as a classroom. Construction is scheduled to be gin in May and be completed by Nov. l. uh Search Hears Goal WASHINGTON (UPII - The search for the submarine ThresH- er narrowed to six objects on the Atlantic Ocean bottom today and the Navy said it may discover lucsday whether one is the lost nuclear ship. Cameras will be lowered to the 8,4110 foot depth at a spot 270 miles east of Boston from the oceangraphic ship Atlantis II to inspect the suspicious objects iound where the submarine dis appeared April 10. A submarine expert in the of fice of Adm. George W. Ander son, chief of naval operations, told newsmen it was "possible" that the atomic submarine will be located by the Atlantis II Tuesday, Capl. C. B. Bishop said that We certainly hope before the end of this week that we will know" whether the lost Thresher is one of the "anomalies" that n protracted search has pinpointed in a 100-square-mile area off the Massachusetts coast. Atlantis II, crammed with all kinds of search gear including special cameras with high inten sity lights, is due on the scene and will begin photoera- pny luesday morning. The largest hope Bishop held out was that the' cameras might identify the submarine hull and tell something of its condition. But it would be only conjecture he said, whether they could rc veal anything of the cause of the submarine's last fatal dive with 12!) men aboard. Other Navy experts said that salvage of the submarine once it is found is a "most remote" possibility. If the Thresher Is located by Atlantis II and several other s.ups now on the scene or pro ceeding to the search area, the location will be marked and the deop-living bathoscaph Trieste will be lowered to inspect it The Trieste, which has searched the Pacific Ocean floor at depths ol up to seven miles, is en route to Boston aboard the U.S.S. Point Defiance. Members of the cast and co workers associated with the production of "Eliza And The Lumberjack" are urged to at tend the victory dinner of the Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital at the Winema Hotel Wednesday evening. The din ner and final report meeting for the hospital campaign will get under way at 7 p.m. Persons planning to attend the dinner arc asked to call the hospital headquarters of fice TU 2-4(186 to make reservations. Much credit and many good wishes for future success should go to Helen Davis, who showed such generosity in giving her mu sic and lyrics to be performed It speaks well for the musicians in Klamath Falls that Airs. Davis found them of high enough caliber to be trusted with her intricately fashioned brainchild. Dr. Ostran .'.ky's fine orchestration is every thing but simple; the contempo rary harmonics are complex, the rhythmic patterns subtle and cap tivating, and the melody lines of the songs require artistry. Mrs. Davis was most gracious to give Klamath Falls such a gift as this. It is to be hoped that she was repaid by the tender loving.-care it received, and the joy of see ing it interpreted so painstak ingly and with such flair. Speaking of flair brings Ellen Miller; director, immediately to mind. So much of Ellen s ability was evident in the polish and gloss of the production. No one could expect this production to be on a professional level, but all the resources available 'and there are plenty here) were used to their highest capacity. Tiie ancient Greeks had the idea that happiness is attained through the best use of one's abilities along lines of excellence, and if this is true, as well it may be, then Ellen should be happy, hap py, happy, and so should all of Eliza s participants. It would be pure enjoyment to mention each of the me-hundred-and-one local residents who ap peared in the play or who did not appear but whose special abil- ties added to the overall effect, but space and time do not allow it. The electricians, the nimble fingered seamstresses and make up people, the hairdressers, the scenery designers and painters, the people who did the prompt ing, ticket sales and publicity, and all those who didn't appear on the stage or in the orchestra but still contributed so importantly, de serve carloads of orchids or whatever they like best. LaMar Jensen and his orchestra and ac companists were wonderful: they were more than equal to the de mands of that interesting music. Stage Director Robert Stevens must be some kind of wizard to whisk such a largo number of people on and off a small stage so gracefully. That tuneful, exu berant chorus and those authentic whiskery loggers will stick in the memory most pleasantly. It's impossible and not really correct to single out any one facet of the show as the high point, but all the dancers were terrific. The square dancers were gay and bouncy, and a special word must go to the lady who made such inspired use of the ersatz flour and "sugar" sacks. All the cos tumes were gay and colorful, and the can-can dancers were sim ply stunning, not only because of their costumes, but also because of that seemingly effortless agil ity. Nt Patterson, as choreogra pher, will probably be in great demand by Junior Leagues all over the country, as the can-can is a staple in their productions, and here is someone who can pro duce a show-stopper. The ballet scene was very effective as a change of pace with its beautiful costumes and subdued lighting which achieved a mood of fan tasy so perfectly. In fact, Ni should be very liappy with her self and her lightfooted students. The Indian scene was magnifi cent. Lefty Wild Eagle Wilder and friends presented a breathtaking display which sent some genuine tingles through the audience. Lefty and his wife cannot be, praised enough for the service they are performing for their own young people in making them aware of their cultural heritage and leaching them to take pride in it. As a result, local residents are privileged to see some au thentic and spectacular displays, One of our great natural assets, beautiful and serene Miss In dian America Ramona Soto, ap peared as one of the charming participants of this scene. Tlio dialogue here was a natural for Lefty's wry sense of humor, and Ruphano Mannering's voice was perlect for the Four Seasons number. Faith Brock displayed her usual excellent acting technique. Now for the leads and featured players. First of all a word of thanks to Colonel WiUenburgerTor his good offices in seeing that Jerry Strickland remained on hand for the performances. Kings ley Field's cooperation with Klam ath Falls in our projects is won derful and highly appreciated. What is there to say about Jer ry Strickland and Winifred Fa veil? Reams and reams, actual ly. Winifred's beautifully trained voice with its gorgeous quality is something to hear with gratitude. Her six children and husband Gene are quite generous to share their beguiling mother and wife with the rest of us, but a talent like that should not be kept in just one living room. Winifred was piquant and endearing as Eliza; the role of a real lady is of course entirely appropriate for her. It is typical of her to want it known that her understudy, Vivian lie Keechan, faithfully attended ev ery rehearsal, and knew all the music. Another large amount of gooa fortune was the presence in Klamath Falls of Jerry Strickland. rhis personable young man with the fine voice should have a great future; he carries with him the very best wishes from all his admirers here. Jules LeBcau was appealing and very capable as Quinamox; Alice Gilbert was fabulous as San Francisco Annie; Lorin Miller was delightfully villainous as Da vis Todd; Forrest Ilawley was excellent as a melodious dude complete with Scandinavian ac cent, and who would think that versatile Bob Davenport could be such an enchanting Lorn of the apple-berry pie? Alberta Hinton, Lorraine John son, Jean Coddington and Pat Bradshaw were as nice and pret ty as any neighbor ladies to be found anywhere in the great North Woods, and Carl Hagel, Keith Sickert, John McCIellan and Kent Colahan were formidable loggers. Carl was really good as part of a totem pole, but a lot of the credit has to go to that mustache. Martin Franz, as producer, dis claims any credit, but he's going to get it anyway. One thing that no one knowingly produced, di rected, arranged, conducted, chor eographed, costumed or lighted but still an outstandingly beautilul and sigmticant sight was the lovely serpentine of white headlights and red taillights as the hundreds of automobiles, bumper to bumper, wound their way slowly down tho hill from the Oil campus. It is necessary to be in a very good mood to regard a traffic jam as beauti ful, but this one really was, and besides it meant that the people of the area were interested in coming out to see a production by local talent, given as a benefit for something really important to them. Besides being beneficial to tho tune of thousands of dollars, the production gavo a certain cachet to the entire drive. Klamath Players, please consid er that you have covered your selves with glory, and Klamath Falls couldn't be more pleased. grateful, and proud of,you. Much obliged. . i Carnival Set By Ferguson Twyla Ferguson School will hold a carnival on Friday, April 2, beginning at. 6:30 p.m. Door prizes, with tickets priced at 25 cents each, will include a porta ble television set, rifle, and i 20-cup perculalor.

Glenn Says Gap Delays Space Study NEW YORK (UPI) - Astronaut John Glenn warned today that an 'information gap" is preventing full use of discoveries in space and other scientific fields. He proposed tho creation of a "national information center" to help close the gap "between the discoverers or tho researchers and those who would normally make use of such information." , Col. Glenn set forth this Idea on space-age education in a speech prepared for delivery at tho annual Association Press meeting. The national information center, he declared, would provide a cen tral gathering place "for sorting, cataloguing, analyzing, storing and making readily accessible new In formation as it becomes available." Glenn, first American to orbit the earth, also called for "somo very basic researcli in how to get massive quantities of complex in formation taught and absorbed." Educators must find ways to im prove teaching and to increase the individual student s use of his po tential learning ability. In his address, philosophic In tone, Glenn concentrated on the educational problem and national goals, touching only briefly on de tails of the U.S. space program. He urged that Americans make better use of expanding leisure time to fulfill their innate capa bilities. "A good many of us today are content to be fat, dumb and hap py," the astronaut stated. "Willi a polyunsaturated diet of tho com ing 35-hour week, the fly-now-pay. later vacation, and fringo bene-, fits, many of us livo in a chrom-lum-plated world where the major enemy we face is crabgrass,"
