WASHINGTON ilPI - The Senate Commerce Committee hasl clusrd the books on its hearings on President Kennedy's contro versial request for a law requir ing equal access to public accom modations but the railroad work rules issue appeared to be side tracking work on the bill. The committee ended its hear ings Friday with testimony for tlie bill by Minnesota Gov. Karl F. Rolvaas- The Democratic gov aU - A BIG PROBLEM Parking meters were just one of the problems encountered by "little people," persons under 4 feet 1 1 who held convention of the Little People of America this week in Oes Moines, Iowa. Pat Lytel, New York City, tries in vain to reach meter. Looking 'on are, left to right, Lee Landry, New Orleans; Dale Paullin, Marshalltown, Iowa; Selme Grant, Houston, Tex., (behind Lytel) ; Alfred Mills, Ukiah, Calif.; Martha Whear, Anamosa, Iowa, and Robert Fowler, Mason City, Iowa. UPI Telephoto Stools, Ladders Necessary For Little People's Meet DES MOINES, ' Iowa (UPI) Step-stools and small ladders were back in the closets here to daythe "little people" have gone home. During the five-day national convention of the Little People of America, three-foot ladders' and kitchen stools were standard equipment beside drinking foun tains, lunch counters and bars. About ISO midgets and dwarfs! wound up their annual meeting Friday with tales of the hard; times of the "little guy." Parking meters presented no end of problems. Many of the little people just couldn't reach high enough to put a coin in the slot. I The result can be exhausting. An overtime parking ticket on the windshield of his car stymied Pat Lytel, 55, New York, for a time. He had to crawl up over the hood of the auto to get the summons. ."I often have a heck of a time1 getting a cup of black coffee in a restaurant," Bill Raecke, Lin-! coin, Neb., complained. "Most of the waitresses try to give me milk and soda pop. Raecke, 4 feet 8 Inches fall has a good sense of humor like most of the little people and en joys what could be embarrassing incidents "especially when some one mistakes me for a kid brother of the person I'm with." The annual convention, supple mented by occasional regional gatherings, is often the only chance some little people have to enjoy social and recreational ac tivities with others of their own stature. "Where else can a little man ce sure ot meeting a little wom an?" asked 3-foot, 10-inch Mrs, Stella Shelterly, North Platte, Neb. "I've dated men that were over six feet tall, and always had a great time, but I think we should marry someone about our own size." she said. Mrs. Shelterly did. But she still has to look up to her husband He is 4 feet 4 inches tall. The convention also had its se rious side. Panel and workshop sessions were conducted on lacing their peculiar social and employment problems, dating' for the little! teenager, and how to prepare their "little littles" to grow up in a world of "giants" who are often scornful and unkind. The little people are fully aware they are "curiosities" hut they don't like to be called freaks." "One thing we have tried to! emphasize in our meetings is that small stature has its advantages1 as well as drawbacks," Charles Bedlow, Owatonna, Minn., con vention chairman, said. "We can do many things that larger people! can t and, pound, for pound, we arc usually much stronger. New Lumber Sales Seen PORTLAND (UPI i An Oregon lumberman. D;iniel L. Goldy, told members of the City Club here Friday that the Northwest ply wood and lumber industry may find a new market in the recent European trend towards individu al homes instead of masonry apartments. Goldy, deputy assistant secre tary of commerce for business development, spoke on the U.S. Commerce Department s outlook American business at home and abroad. He said that if the country doesn't find a way of cracking the common market barrier, it will face the loss of export busi ness to a rapidly growing over seas market. The lumberman cited a need for accelerated economic growth and a need for more competitiveness with business abroad as the two basic problems hampering the U.S.'s business. Army Probes Two Suicides MANNHEIM. Germany (UPD- U.S. Army investigators have been unable to find any connec tion between the apparent sui cides of two lieutenants from Il linois, old friends who died within three months of one another, the Army announced today.

Era Regular weekly luncheon meet ings of the chambers board of directors resume this Wednesday noon at the Pelican Cafe, follow ing the board's monthly policy and planning session, cot for Tuesday evening, 7:30, at the chamber offices. At tire Wednesday luncheon, President Montcith will announce the appointment of from five to seven members of a nominations committee who will bo charged with submitting at the Aug. II meeting a list of 10 candidates for election to the board of direc tors. Five new directors will be elected by the chamber member ship on Sept. 4 to serve a three year term. Although tourist traffic at the chamber office is the heaviest this year it has been in a number of seasons, a general ap praisal of the current season throughout the Pacific Northwest is that travel is somewhat off from previous summers. This fact was particularly evident at Crater Lake National Park whore early season travelers en route to the World's Fair In Seattle pushed the total to an all-time high early last summer. Latest figures, however, indicate that travel now has picked up to tlic extent that the 1SXV3 season should end up at a slightly higher visitor figure than 1961, but still somewhat under last year's record high. At the same time this cham ber, along with other chambers throughout the region, reports that the number of persons look ing for a place to live and work in the Pacific Northwest appears larger than ever. The largest source for such inquiries and vis its is .Southern California particu larly the Los Angeles area. The San Francisco Bay area is the second largest source for such ac tivity, with other inquiries com ing from as far south as Tucson and as far north as Anchorage. the start of this trend was first noticed two years ago when the chamber had a Klamath Coun ty booth at the Los Angeles Travel and Vacation Show. At that time members of the crew man ning the booth reported that many visitors to Ihe Klamath display were Interested not in coming here to live for a vacation, but in coming here to live and work. ! There is little question that one' of Klamath County's least devel oped resources and one having the greatest potential is Upper Klamath Lake. Use of this mag nificent lake as a recreational resource has hardly begun. The long range potential for develop-1 ment is almost limitless. With that development, ol course, will come greatly increased income to the county from the users of the lake and its facilities and from the service industries that will be required to support them. Typical of the sort of develop ment and use (hat is urgently needed Is the Water Festival be ing presented today by Basin Boat ers, inc. Tlie chamber's board of directors lent its whole-hearted support to this venture and hopes that the citizens of the Klamath area will avail tliemsclvcs of this opportunity to see what prom ises o be an excellent exhibition of speed, slalom and specialty skiing and boat racing. mm f BRING THE g FAMILY B roasted Chicken Spaghetti Pizza Pie Try Our New French Fried Ravio'l Eat 'Em Here or Orders To Go.
