C02P. Pair Urges Salary Cut For Legislators If Tax Bill Fails THIS IS MY WEEK? National Dog Week started today as dog lovers across the nation give their canine friends an extra ration or more bones plus an additional affectionate pat or two. However, this mournful fellow, behind bars at the city dog pound, sees little to celebrate about. He was picked up this week for violating the dog leash law, and un less reclaimed by his owners or by someone else within 10 days, he draws the death penalty. "Your Honor," he seems to be pleading, "It's dog-gone tough for a dog in Klamath Falls, these days." Can you spare a home, anyone? In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS In a radio and TV address in Washington Wednesday evening, President Kennedy appealed to the congress and the nation for an $11 billion tax cut. He said that if their taxes are cut the American people will be able to spend tor things they want the money they would otherwise have had to .pay out in taxes. . This added spending, he said, will create prosperity, and the prosperity thus treated will pro vide tax income sufficient to en able us to reduce and eventu ally pay off our present stagger ing debt. j In other words: ' The more we spend, the soon er we'll get out of debt. Question: Did YOU ever try getting out of debt by SPENDING MORE? If so, you may be inclined to doubt the President's statement. In Washinjton night before last, Representative John W. Byrnes, of Wisconsin, senior Republican on the tax-writing ways and means committee of the House , of Representatives, presented the Republican rebuttal to the Presi dent's plea for an immediate tax cut. T his is his proposal: That the tax legislation eon lain a provision VOIDING THE CUT unless the President sub mits SPENDING plans for not more than $U7 billion for the fis cal (money! year thai began on July 1 of this vear and not MORE than $9S billion for the fiscal year that will begin on July 1 of 14. This, he said, would mean a cul of ahout a billion dollars in pro posed spending for the current , billion dollars under the spending levels now expected for next year. He went on to say: "These are comtortablc limita tions which should not be impos sible lor a reasonably prudent administration with a congress pledged to spending control. This i proposed spending figure lor tins fiscal year is slill $4 BILLION MORE than was spent last year." He then added: "Congress will he PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE with our national destiny if it doesn't at this time in our history require 'spending' control." He uses a vivid simile, but it isn't tar from the truth. When you play Russian roulette, you're taking long chances with your life. When a nation goes on, year after year, in time of peace, spending BILLIONS more every year than it takes in. it is taking iong chances with its fiscal fu ture. But- You may sav WHAT CAN I IX)?

It's Your Week Rover, But Celebrate At Home National Dog Week begins Mon day and Klamath County will have plenty to celebrate more than 7.000 licensed canines plus those tnat run without licenses. Dogs have received special atten tion in the county and partial larly in Klamath Falls the past few months with the adoption of a get tough policy on dogs run ning loose. City Poundmasler LarVy Muel ler late in the spring initiated the policy when the city council hired an assistant for him. They began strictly enforcing the leash law which was recently voted in. Th4 law says that all dogs running loose, without leashes or not behind fences, are liable to be picked up.

The move was announced by Rev. A. D. King, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and brother of integration leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A. D. King said Die guards would remain on duty throughout the weekend. Friday the federal investigators disclosed that the bomb that killed four young Negro girls at the I6lh Street Baptist Church last Sunday had been planted underneath a set of stairs, apparently in advance of the services. Guards will make a final check of the building before church hours Sunday. The congregation of the bombed- out 16th Street BapUsl Church will meet in a puSiic auditorium in the Negro section. And last March, when the maxi mum enforcement began, 64 dogs were picked up by the pound master and his assistant. But Mueller says the enforce ment has awakened people to the law and last month it was neces sary to pick up only 38 dogs or about naif March number. He says the law.i9 "gaining favor' and estimates that 90 per cent of the citys dogs are con trolled. Under the law, dogs picked up are held for 10 days before they are destroyed or sold. If the dog is licensed, an effort is made to contact the owner. To redeem his dog, an owner must pay a minimum fee ot $5, plus $1 per day over two days. A "leash law dog" may be bought, if unclaimed, for $8. Dogs also may be picked up as "strays" not falling under the leash law. These dogs are held for a maxi mum of five days, and may be sold for $2. The city pound on Memorial Road south of the city is in the process of being remodeled. Ten new kennels are being added, in addition to the 10 already in serv ice. Five temporary kennels will be removed. Adjacent to the pound is a pet cemetery, where dead pets may be buried for a fee and headstones placed.

White House sources said the mis sion is the result of top level consultations within the government and with Lodge in Saigon. They said Secretary of State Dean Rusk was consulted, at though the mission is described as purely military. Buddhist riots against the government of Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem in Sai gon have caused soul-searching at the top policymaking level in Washington. Sources said Kennedy seeks the best possible Information on the euerrilla warfare in . Vietnam. The strategy and tactics in the war are reportedly aisiuroing number of U.S. military officers the Southeast Asian conn tries. The 14,000 American troops are there chiefly as advisers. In Washington, the Pentagon said McNamara and Taylor prob ably would depart for Saigon ear- Iv Mondav. They will travel in converted Air Force KC135 jet tanker which McNamara has used for similar trips in the, past. Accompanying them will be Ar thur Sylvester, assistant defense secretary for public affairs, and William Bundy, assistant to Paul Nitze. the Pentagon's chief of in ternational security affairs.

Guerrilla activity along the border has been linked in recent weeks to Indonesia. President Sukarno charges that Malaysia is a veiled attempt by London to perpetuate British co lonialism in Southeast Asia. The other components of Malaysia are Malaya, Singapore and North Borneo. i In London, the British Foreign Office pressed Sukarno Saturday for speedy return of EnglishiT e n g k u lirms taken over by the lndoncsi-thrcats." In Jakarta, a British Embassy spokesman said Indonesian police guarding the embassy Hogged two Indonesian employes who tried lo raise a British flag there. The spokesman said that Am bassador Andrew Gilchrist inter vened lo stop the police from healing the two employes with leather straps. Gilchrist telephoned police and asked that the guards who inflict ed the beating be replaced and arrested. At mid-day. the flagpole in front of the badly battered em bassy was still bare. The building was ravaged by fire during an Indonesian demon stration Wednesday. In the broadcast Friday night, ing special session of the Legis lature, tlie first thing we should do is cut legislative salaries. If we're going to cut other people's budgets, the Legislature should be slashed also." Boivin placed any contemplat ed cut at about 40 per cent, recommending that legislators' salaries be reduced to $150 a month, a cut of about $100 a month.

Soviets Cite Violations By Chinese MOSCOW IUPI1 The Soviet Union said Saturday night Chi nese Communist soldiers and ci vilians had violated their long frontier 5,000 times in 1962 alone. It warned Peking its anti-Soviet campaign would meet with the most resolute rebuff." The accusation came in the second installment of a 15,000- wnrd eovernment statement on Sino - Soviet affairs. It was couched in militant language hitherto reserved by the Kremlin for its enemies in times of crisis. The gravity of the accusations leveled against Red China ap peared to rule out any possibility of a Moscow-Peking compromise at this time. Diplomats in Mos cow were wondering how long Moscow and Peking could main tain a facade of diplomatic rela tions. Russia said the Chinese had violated the 5.000-milc long bor der between Siberia and China deliberately and that the Chinese had attempted to reclaim isolat ed parts of Soviet territory "with out preliminary permission.".

"There's nothing particularly holy aboutli the Legislature."

Presi dent Kennedy welcomed the idea in his address to the eW orld or ganization Friday and urged that negotiations start for a "practic able arrangement to carry it out. The United Slates proposed such a ban as far back as 1957 and again in 12. The Soviets have at times included it in their own disarmament plans. Deiensc Secretary Robert S.
