He issued an executive order providing that husbaDds of draft age from 19 through 25 will be called only if the pool of eligible single men is exhausted. Since there is an ample pool of single men, the White House order said, what it actually means is that married men will be draft proof except in the case of a national emergency. ) n 1 f " n. 1 1 I'll bet everybody thinks of the same crack at the same time to wit: The President thinks married men have fighting enough as it is without having to go to war. Mere from Washington: President Kennedy said last night the U.S. faces a dilemma in South Viet Nam and risks criti cism, whichever way it turns. He implied in a radio-TV inter view that if we stay we 11 have In Jieht . . . and Day . . . and if we run we'll be called a quitter He added: "It is true the U.S government occasionally gets locked into a policy and linos it difficult to shift gears. He is undoubtedly right. And in this particular case he inherited the situation and riidn t create it. But, for heaven's sake, let's be cautious about getting into any more messes like that. Headline this morning: Circus Lion Bites Keeper. Hmmmmmmmm. That violates the dictum of the famous city editor of the New York Sun who said that when a dog bites a man it isn't news because it happens too often, but when a man bites a dog it IS news. But le.'s be thankful that in this case the keeper didn't bile the lion. We have enough screw ball goings-on in the world of today as it is.

Dr. Regulo Pachano Ancz. the pediatrician attending the 3-day- old quints, said each of them has lost at least 3'j ounces in weight since birth. He said, however, that it is normal for an infant to lose weight during the first day or two of life. The babies weigh about 2 pounds each. The combined weight of all five is less than 18 pounds. Pachano said little Otto, third- born of lite infants, is "improving at a slightly slower rate" than tlie others, but his condition still is considered "acceptable." Doctors decreed an "absolute end" Monday to all visits for tlie quints and telephone calls to their mother, Mrs. Kfren Prieto Nava, until they are stronger. The phone in Mrs. Prieto's pri vale room was disconnected and round-the-clock police guard was posted at her door to keep over-eager wellwishers away.

Speed Of Tax Revolt Shocks State Leaders SALEM 'UI'li-The taxpayers are in revolt. They've referred the l3 legislature's Siifl million rev enue increase measure to a spe cial election. The man on the street seems to feci it's time the state govern ment lived within its income. The average taxpayer has been plucked by federal ta.es, rubbed raw by property taxes, and now he's annoyed at state taxes. Slate officials were astounded at the speed with which signa tures were obtained on petitions to refer the tax bill to a special elec tion Oct. 13. Signature Come Rapidly More tlian 55.0110 valid signa tures were obtained in a couple of weeks twice as many as were needed to call tlie special eicc tion. The spclatu!ar success of the referral drive is all the more astounding because there was no real organized effort to get the signatures. J. Krancyl Howard, the weekly newspaper editor who spearhead ed the effort, candidly admitted Price Ten Cents -20 Pages it.-,' organization you ever' heard of." Stale officials were stunned at Howard's success. They knew a lax increase meas ure would not ne popular, out they were not prepared lor such an emphatic public reaction. Sen. Ward Cook. D-Porlland. co chairman of tlie Ways and Means Committee, termed it a "tax re volt." Tcacliprs Signed When one official clieckcd some of the petitions and found they had been signed by nehool teach ers and school district officials, he commented, "I had no idea how serious the situation had become. I Ihink a lot of stale officials have to take a hard look at this whole issue." The fact is. a lot of the stale's resimnsible leaders arc scared. They predict privately that the lax measure will go down to overwhelming defeat at tlie Oct 15 election. In lad, some leaders arc now running so "scared," they are in advertently adding tiel to tlie Itrcs of opposition. KLAMATH FALLS, OHEGO.V, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 19b'3 PP&L Vows To Boost Area Growth Support for community - spon sored programs aimed at ex panding the crop and livestock economy of the Klamath Basin and boosting tourism in tlie Klam ath - 'Lake - Modoc - Siskiyou area was pledged here Tuesday by Pacific Power & Light Com pany.

D- PP&L officials and directors with civic and business and agricultur al leaders of the 'Basin, held dur ins the three-day visit here of PP&L directors. Speaking optimistically of the prospects for growth of specific phases of the area s economy, I'l'&L President Don R. McClung said tlie company's general of fice staff of specialists in agricul ture and industrial development arc available to back up the pro gramming of local community leadership. McClung urged especially that the opportunities in potato proc essing and more beef production and finishing for growing west ern markets be studied. He said PP&L's investigation indicates these two enterprises could be profitably expanded. McClung said tlie company's studies indicate 30.000 calves and feeders are raised annually ini Klamath County alone, and vir tually all of tliem are shipped elsewhere to be finished for mar ket. In addition, some 40,000 cat tle are brought into tlie county for summer pasture, and these also are shipcd out, mostly to California feedlot operators. The PP&L executive said PP&L and Oregon Slate Univer sity are presently undertaking a program that includes studies of cropping methods for boosting corn output for livestock feeding. With regard to tourism, Mc Clung said Klamath visitors stayed longer this summer than last, and noted visitors to Crater Lake exceeded the previous "nor mal year by more than 100.000. He said everyone associated with the tourist trade should be confi dent of future gains in new tour ism dollars. "You need to constantly review what you are doing and offer ingto assure the tourist will have a pleasant and memorable slay n Klamath.

Committee (Passes WASHINGTON tUPl) Over riding solid Republican opposition, tlie House Ways & Means Com mittee today approved an $11 bil lion tax cut, the biggest in the nation's history.

There is consid erable doubl thit the Senate will complete action this year despite strone Diessure from President Kennedv and manv influential business leaders. Everv individual and corpora- tion would share in the tax relief proposed by the committee. Abouti $7 billion of the relief would take effect on 1964 incomes and tlie full tax cut would apply to in comes in 1965 and thereafter.

About 100 boy and girl students suspected of being agitators were arrested and hauled oil to the main police station for question ing, government sources said. The round-up brought the total of high school students arrested since the wave of student dem onstrations began Saturday to ap proximately 1,300, nearly half of I horn girls. About 1,2110 youths were arrest ed previously in two riots trig gered by protests against the government's suppression of Bud dhists and other political oppo nents. Troops in camouflage uniforms and armed with small arms and machine guns occupied the empty school buildings after they sent the students home. Monday at the Chu Van An School hundreds of students bat tled troops and police lor more than two hours, throwing rocks, bricks, chairs and even desks at the government forces. Students at the Saigon Techni cal High School and Petrusky School had planned demonstra tions thli morning, but police and troops thwarted tlie plans.

A stormy demonstration by flag-waving white students erupt ed at one Birmingham school, but police kept tlie screaming students under control and forced back a crowd of angry adults a block from the scene. Angry white parents began re moving their children from sev eral other schools in Birmingham and Tuskcgec. When some of tlie uproar and early morning confusion sub sided, 20 Negroes were inside five white schools in the three cities. Wallace, looking refreshed after! a few hours sleep, arrived at the slate capitol shortly after 9 a m to survey the situation. His first reaction: "No com. mcnt. Married Men Exemption From Draft WASHINGTON I UPIl - Prcsl dent Kennedy today, in effect, ex empted married men from the draft in a move that will relieve an estimated .140,000 young hus bands from military service.

Enrolled President Kennedy jerked the rug from under Wallace by sign ing two orders. One directed the governor to "cease and desist" from inter fering with the court-ordered inte gration. The second order federalized the 225 battle-garbed National Guards men Wallace had sent into all three cities to turn away 20 Ne groes from five schools. By 8:45 a.m., 20 Negroes had entered three schools in Birming ham, one in Tuskegee and one in Mobile. Several white parents in Tuske gee began removing their children from classes soon after 13 Ne groes entered the town's only white school.

For Instance, in 1940, there were J,2U,6R4 male children born. By 1945. this had increased to 1,404,587. The White House said tlie action will tend to lower the average age of a draft inductee, which is now about 23, and let single young men "know sooner whether they will be called to serve." what's the trick?"
