People like the advertising and regard It as shopping news. They use It, clip it, buy from it. Stands to reason advertisers rely so much on newspapers. Mori Business ThroojTi Ntwspapirs Senator's Problem May Be Acoustics, Not Journalistic Concealment Policies By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON UPI - My general science teacher in high school used to tell his classes that sound does not exist unless it is heard. If a mighty tree toppled over in the forest, and nobody was within earshot, then its fall would be noiseless, according to this pedagogue. Assuming this is true, I sup pose the principle also applies to the U.S. Senate. If a senator makes a speech, and nobody hears it, then he actually dues not say anything. It might be argued, of course that he doesn't say anything even if someone does hear it. But I'm trying to keep this scientific. Senators Adhere to Rule At any rate, senators appear to have learned their physics lessons well. To a man, they show a strong preference for speaking in places where they can be heard. In that re gard, they are fortunate. Any time a senator feels like uttering a few thousand well chosen words, he can drop by the Senate chamber and find a built-in captive audience. As long as a senator is speak ing, it is considered bad parlia mentary form for the presiding officer to turn out the lights and go home. Moreover, there are always at Four Nighf Classes Scheduled Four college level evening courses will be sponsored in Klamath Falls this winter by the division of continuing edu cation of the Oregon State Sys tem of Higher Education. Courses and the date of the first classes of each course are as follows: Jewelry and metal smithing, (Monday, Jan. 6; the maladjusted child, Monday, Jan. B; painting. Tuesday. Jan. 7: and world literature, Thursday, Jan. 9. Classes w ill be held In Klam ath Falls Union High School from 7 to 9;45 p.m. on t h e scheduled evening. Instructors will be faculty members from colleges and universities with in the State System of Higher Education and other qualified persons. Each course offers three hours of college credit for those who satisfactorily complete it. A time schedule, containing information on registration, fees, and a listing of other eve ning courses to be offered in Southern Oregon may be ob tained from the Ashland Con tinuation Center, College Cam pus, Ashland. least two newspapermen pres ent. The two wire services make it a point to have report ers in the chamber at all times in case something unexpected happens like a senator saying something newsworthy. This brings us to a senator who recently complained that one of his speeches on the for eign aid bill failed to produce adequate reverberation. Claims Views Suppressed He told the Senate he was un able to find any mention of his remarks in the next day's news papers. He concluded, therefore, that he was a victim of "jour nalistic concealment policies." OUR ANCESTORS H3 TT7 "And tell Betsy Ross to send fewer flags and more sweaters!" r There's a Fuller Paint Store near you. KLAMATH FALLS I am not familiar with all the circumstances, but it may be that the problem was not so much a matter of concealment as of acoustics. As the adage goes, the acous tics in the Senate chamber are terrible; yuu can hear every word they say. I made a random check in the Congressional Record and found that during one 12-day period this senator was credit ed with at least 93 entries on the subject of foreign aid. To update another adage; I may or may not agree with what you say, but I get pretty tired of hearing you say it. by ynincy (8$m $te ($& tuta lGficmQmx gifts Slj S8&S??3 I; SAVE $12 28s41W-in.

Md., Dec. 8 killing all 81 aboard. The agency disclosed that it was considering an order re quiring installation of a device to prevent electrical discharges on the wingtips of all jets. The modifications would not involve grounding the planes. The FAA said the Pan Amer ican plane was one of 98 early model Boeing 707's which car ried the so-called "static dis charge eliminators" on horizon tal tail surfaces but not on its wingtips. A few early DC8s also are believed to carry them only on the tail surfaces. The Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) said last week it had found evidence of a lightning strike on the left wing of the Pan American plane. It also said that a fuel-air mixture ex plosion had occurred in a left wing fuel cell, although it care fully avoided saying that the explosion resulted from t h e lightning strike. The FAA emphasized there was no evidence that the ab sence of the discharge wicks in vited a lightning strike. Jets carrying the static eliminators only in tlieir tails have been exposed to lightning bolts and huge static discharges hundreds of times without experiencing difficulty.

In captivity, it sel dom lives longer than 15 years. off Jteiaskoc; Coos County Equalization Board Favored In Tax Commission Ruling SALEM IUPH Tlie Slate Tax Commission has refused to take jurisdiction of a tax dis pute involving industrial lands along the Coos Bay shoreline, and has upheld the assessments levied by the Coos County Board of Equalization, it was an nounced Wednesday. The commission's action voids assessment increases ranging from 50 per cent to 4,000 per cent that had been levied by Coos County Assessor F. R. Flanagan. The Equalization Board's ac tion reduced the assessment in creases levied by Flanagan. Involved in the dispute were waterfront properties belonging In the Menasha Corporation, Weyerhaeuser Company, Al Pierce Co., Evans, Products Company, Coos Bay Dredging Company, Central Dock Com pany and Coos Bay Timber Company. The properties were valued at $:tl.6i3 before being increased to J104.487 by Flanagan. Total $55,250 The Board of Equalization's assessments which were ratified by Uie tax commission deci sion, total $55,250. The dispute was aired before the commission at a hearing here Dec. 3. Appearing before the commis sion were Joseph McKeown and John Whitty, representing the taxpayers: Dale W. Conn. Coos County deputy district attorney, representing the equalization board; Robert Oslund of Georgia - Pacific Corp.; Marlon Larson of Weyerhaeuser; Harry Loggan. director of the valua tion division, and Gerald F. 2399 South 6th Street paints Bartz of the law section of the Tax Commission, and Flanagan. On May 15 the Board of Equalization issued an order changing Flanagan's assess ments. The commission ruled Flana gan did not appeal the assess ments within the 30-day period required by law, and therefore turned down Flanagan's request that the Slate Tax Commission take jurisdiction and fix the Business Trip Congressmen WASHINGTON UPI - As far as Rep. John Dent, D-Pa., is concerned, glass house-dwellers should go easy on stone throwing. The dweller in this case is Ohio Republican Rep. William H. Ayres. " Dent was one of four Demo crats scheduled to go to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for four Jays of House Education and Labor Committee work. Committee chairman Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., an nounced plans for the trip Mon day, but later that same day announced it had been post poned because of the press of pie-adjournment business. Dent read to the House Tues day a newspaper account of the postponement which quoted Ayres as saying the trip would have "hurt the image of the committee and the House." "This person," he said, "who is worried about the 'image of smti new assessments. The true cash values set by the board and ratified by the tax commission were: Menasha S7.0O0, Weyerhaeuser $18,500, Al Pierce $13,250. Evans Products $4,500. Central Dock $7,500, and Coos Bay Timber $4,. 500. The values for Coos Bay Dredging were unchanged, and not listed in the commission's ruling. Or Junket? Debate Point the House' still has the smell of leis around his neck that he got in Hawaii just two days aso as the representative of this same committee." Rep. Wayne Hays, D-Ohio, who came under heavy fire ear lier this year because he took the head waiter of the House restaurant along on a trip to the NATO meeting in Paris, asked Dent if he didn't realize that the trip to Hawaii was of ficial business. "Just what is the difference between an official business trip and a junket?" Hays asked in mock seriousness. , Dent said one member's offi cial business trip sometimes is another's junket. Only two United States mints remain in operation Denver and Philadelphia. Coinage at the San Francisco mint stopped March 31. 1935.
