In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
From Sacramento this morn
ing: Horace Greeley's advice for
young men to HEAD WEST
may apply specifically to Cali
fornia in 1980 if the young men
don't mind older women.
The state department of fi
nance predicted yesterday that
there will be approximately 538.
000 MORE WOMEN than men in
California by July 1, 1980 17
years from now.
Walter P. Hollman, the fi
nance department's population
expert, says the average Cali
fornia lady will then be 29.3
years old, while the men will
average out at only 27.6 years
of age.
Hollman also forecast that
California's bulging population
will swell to 27.8 million in the
next six years, with toddlers un
der five accounting for about 2,
740.000, or roughly 10 per cent
of the total.
He adds:
"At that time, there will be
14.209,000 women and only 13,
671.000 men."
He goes on to say:
"The currently estimated 17.3
million persons now in Califor
nia will grow to 17.9 million by
1965 a little over a year from
now."
Question:
What of Oregon?
Are we jealous of our great
neighbor's fantastic population
growth?
NOT ON YOUR TINTYPE!
If within the next six years
there are 27.8 million people in
California, that will mean a
LOT MORE CUSTOMERS f o r
what we have to sell and a lot
more tourists to come up to our
glamorous wider-open spaces to
get away from the mess at
home.
Lot's take a look at popu
lation densities.
In 1980, only three years ago,
there were only 100.4 people
per square mile of land area in
California.
If Mr. Hollman's forecast
turns out to be accurate, there
will be 175 people per square
mile by 1969, which is only
about six years away.
In Oregon in 1960, there were
18.4 people per square mile.
Question:
In 1989. how many people per
square mile of land area will
there be In Oregon?
Not TOO many, we all hope.
In conclusion:
What about Horace Greeley
and his famous advice to young
men to GO WEST?
How did he come to say it?
The story goes (hat t h e

School Boards Slate
Another Joint Meeting
The Klamath Union High
School and the county boards
of education will meet jointly
Thursday night to further d i s
cuss distribution of assets in the
school reorganization plan.
The joint meeting will begin
at 7:30 p.m. at the school ad
ministration building, 475 South
Alameda Avenue.
Klamath Union trustees
agreed to the joint meeting
Monday night after Superinten
dent of Schools Ray Hunsaker
reported receipt of figures on
county school values from
County Superintendent Cliff
Robinson.
High school, elementary and
county boards have been tied in
disagreement on the distribution
of assets which would accom
pany division of the county into
two districts. The county court
has sought agreement on a dis
tribution of assets plan from the
three boards.
In other action, the Klamath
Union board heard Hunsaker's
report on the proposed usage of
the present Oregon Technical In
stitute campus for high school
purposes next year when OTI
moves to a new campus.
The board took the report un
der advisement. It is proposed
that the present campus be util
ized in part for KU freshmen.
Trustees approved a working
policy for custodians which was
prepared by the administration
and also approved participation

Berlin Incident Believed Serious
WASHINGTON (UPII - A
considerable number of U. S.
officials believe die recent Ber
lin flareup has much more seri
ous meaning than the Kennedy
administration has publicly ad
mitted. They do not accept the ad
ministration's theory that the
two-day blockade of a U.S.
Army convoy on the Berlin
highway last week was an in
nocent "misunderstanding."
They believe it was another
attempt at so called Russian
"Salami tactics" the gradual
slicing away of the Western
position in Berlin.
For years, these officials ar
gue, the U.S. Army rolled con
voys through Russian check
points on the highway, and the
United States itself decided
which convoys would unload
passengers to be counted by
Russian guards as a "cour
tesy" and which would not.
Never Told Russians
The United States arbitrarily
decided that convoys carrying
more than 30 troop-passengers,
not counting the two-man crew
of each vehicle, would dismount
while smaller convoys would
not But it never told the Rus
sians the critical number So
on grounds that tlie Russians
had "no right to demand that
any convoy dismount.
Some officials believe the
most probable reason the Rus
sians halted last week a con
voy 14 hours at one end of the
highway and nearly 33 hours at
the other end was that they
were dissatisfied with this state
of affairs.

Polls Note
Heavy Vote
In Klamath
Surveys conducted of nine of
33 polling places in Klamath
Falls early today indicated that
voters are turning out in large
numbers to mark their ballots
in the special tax election that
will decide the fate of the legis
lature's $60 million tax increase
measure.
The polls close at 8 to
night in the county's 75 pre
cincts, including 33 in this city
and 42 elsewhere in the county.
Meanwhile, voting reports from
elsewhere in the state indicated
that voters were responding to
the controversial tax measure in
light numbers, but the picture
w as expected to improve consid
erably later today.
In Klamath Falls, the e a r 1 y
trend was for a turnout that
might approach record numbers,
at least in those areas where
there is a large number of el
derly voters.
One such area was the 31st
precinct w here 34 voters, mostly
senior citizens, had cast their
ballots before 10:30 a.m. Ballot
takers at the polling station re
ported that figures for that
time of day were "extremely
high" for the princinct listing
280 eligible voters.
Of those precincts polled,
housewives and workers were
voting in about equal numbers,
polling directors reported.
In the 19th precinct at Mills
School, 40 of 361 residents who
had registered to vote had cast
ballots at 10:30 a.m., represent
ing the best turnout noted of any
election held in that precinct in
the memory of the poll taker.
Other precincts told of sim
ilarly high turnouts.

Soviet officials the U.S. operat
ing procedure, including the
critical number, 30. In doing
so, it specifically declared that
the U.S. would change its pro
cedure whenever It pleased and
conceded no rights.
Change Of Procedure
Some officials think the Rus
sians may as the diplomats
claim have thought the United
States was suddenly changing
its procedure. The convoy that
was halted had 18 vehicles and
61 men. But 36 of these men
were crew members, who have
never dismounted for muster.
There were only 25 passengers,
less than two per vehicle, some
of which were large trucks.
This was an unusually low
number of passengers per vehi
cle, and it is possible the Rus
sians thought the convoy con
tained more men than.it did.

LIBYA
Era:
month ago today to become the
first West German chancellor.
"But I won't just listen," he
promised the parliament. "I'll
talk, too."
Reviewing his years in office,
beginning in the days when this
country was a rubble heap and
ending when it is the world's
second greatest trading nation,
I Adenauer told parliament
proudly:
"We Germans can again walk
with our heads up."
He said the greatest develop
ment of his administration was
tlie recovery of friends in the
world.
When lie came to power, he
said, tlie Germans' names was
a curse.
Today, tlie German name
again rings true, he said.
He warned his successors
against trying to make a sepa
rate deal with Russia in hopes
of reuniting West Germany with
Communist East Germany.
"Tlie solution of the German
problem," he said, "is not pos
sible only between us and the
adversary. We need our friends.
Thank God we have found
friends in the world. Imagine
what Germany would be today
if we had not again found
friends."
Adenauer, dressed in his cus
tomary black cutaway and
striped trousers, made his last
appearance as chancellor be
fore the parliament that first
elected him in 1949.
He will keep his Bundestag
seat, representing his home dis
trict of Bonn and surrounding -area,
and will be the oldest
member of the house. '
But the Adenauer era, one of
tlie most remarkable and chal
lenging periods In German his
tory, was over, and the nation
awaited the start of a new era
Wednesday when Ludwig Er
hard becomes chancellor.
Before tlie resignation cere
monies, Adenauer appeared at
a meeting of his Christian Dem
ocratic party and reported his
remarks of recent days that he
was stepping down with certain
misgivings because of the inter
national situation.
Adenauer has made it plain
he is stepping down only reluct
antly, despite his advanced age.
He is convinced the West is do
ing wrong in its current deal
ings with tlie Soviet Union, and
lie is not certain Erhard will
follow the Adenauer policy line.
