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

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.

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.
"The investigators are very,
much aware of the coincidence!
that the two lieutenants came
from nearby towns, were old
friends and apparently died un
der similar circumstances," a
spokesmman said.
"But at this time. Criminal In
vestlgation Division (C1D) inves
tigators report there is no basis
other than these coincidences to
say the two deaths are related,
2nd Lt. Don A. Carroll, 24, of
Villa Grove, III., was duty offi
cer of the 28(h Ordnance Com
pany at Zwcihrucken April 30,
when he was found dead at com
pany headquarters at 10:45 p.m.
CID investigators said death
was caused by an apparently
self-inflicted shot from Carroll's'
.45 caliber automatic.
2nd U. Guy I. Overaker, 22,
of Springfield, 111, who attended
Carroll's memorial service, was
found dtad at 6 a.m. July 3t at
the 35th Quartermaster Battalion
headquarters in LudwigsburgJ
where he was officer of the day.
Overakor's home address was
ItlGMi MocArthur St.
CID investigators said Overaker
too died from an apparently self
inflicted shot from his automatic.
CID investigators who studied
Overaker's personal papers found
no indication he intended to com
mit suicide, the spokesman said.

ernor was the only one of six
state executives who testified on
the bill to endorse it. The other
live were Southerners.
Opposition to the measure and
other parts of the civil rights
package was expressed Friday
by Louisiana Lt. Gov. C. C. Ay
cock, who testified before a
House judiciary subcommittee.
The Senate, w hich promised ex
peditious handling of the public
accommodations bill, also is han
dling the President's emergency
proposals to turn the railroad
ork rules dispute oyer to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
' ICC i. Because the rails propos
al is being considered during a
30-day suspension of railroad ac
tion that could lead to a nation
wide strike it is expected to have
priority on the committee calen
dar.
The House Judiciary Commit
tee completed hearings Friday on
the administration civil rights
package with testimony from Dr.
Albert Garner, president of the
Florida Eftptist Institute. Lake
land. Fla.. who said God had de
creed racial segregation and in
tegration was atheistic.
In other civil rights develop
ments in Washington:
Labor Secretary V. Willard
Wirlz told the Senate Employ
ment subcommittee that Negro
leaders feel the executive branch
of the goverrfment is doing every
thing possible to open job oppor
tunities for them. He said the
President's equal employment op
portunity committee has told sev
eral companies they would get no
more government contracts but
removed them from the suspen
sion list when they changed their
racial practices.
Sen. James 0. Eastland, D-
Miss., accused Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara Friday of
"perverting" the mission of the
armed forces by his directive
authorizing local commanders to
put off limits, after getting Pen
tagon clearance, businesses and
communities that discriminate
against Negro servicemen. East
land asked the secretary to re
voke the order or draft legisla
tion implementing it and submit
it to Congress.

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.
