In The-
Day's km
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington as this is
written:
The Johnson administration is
now expected to seek several
hundred million dollars for the
opening round of a new attack
on domestic poverty.
How will it work?
Let's risk a guess.
These added hundreds of mil
lions of dollars w ill in effect be
printing press money because
they will be added to the hun
dreds of billions that we al
ready owe. Bui, temporarily,
the spending of them will cre
ate an added demand for goods.
For a while, there will be an
illusion of new prosperity, be
cause the production of the add
ed supply of goods will create
new jobs.
But-
Bccause of the added de
mand for goods arising out ot
the spending of the new supply
of printing press money, prices
will tend to rise. Because of
the rise in prices, the time will
soon arrive when the added sup
ply of money will buy no more
THINGS than the former small
er supply of money would buy.
So
The shot in the arm will wear
off quickly, and it will soon be
necessary to provide another
shot in the arm to create an
other illusion of easy wealth
for everybody.
It works much the same as
a shot of hooch. You take it.
Maybe in the form of a shot in
the arm, or a swallowed pill.
For a while, you feel like a
new person. It appears to you
that there isn't ANYTHING
you can't do.
For a few hours, it's a won
derful world you're living in.
You're a wonderful person.
You feel the urge to go out and
conquer new worlds.
begins to wear off.
What to do?
Well, you take another shot
in the arm. And again you feel
a rise in your spirits. This rise
is for a shorter duration of
time. It wears off quicker. But
while it lasted, it was wonder
ful. So you take another shot
in the arm. And then still
ANOTHER ONE.
And so on. Y'ou keep it up.
and in the course of time it no
longer gives you a lift. What
to do then? About all that re
mains is to change your brand
of shots and do it all over
again.
Eventually the time comes
when you're a wreck.
Tt works the same way with
this business of infusing the
economy with another s h o t of
printing press money every
time the economy begins to
slow down.
The world has had a lot of
experience with shots in the
arm. Both in the form of
hasheesh and in the form of
printing press money.
Always, in the course of time
it turns out to be a flop.
Probing question:
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
Epericnce points for us the
moral that there is no such
thine as something for nothing.
If we could have something for
nothing either in the form of
dope or in the form of printing
press money the time would
have arrived long ago when we
would all be lolling at our ease.
In a world where there would
be plenty for everybody to be
had merely by reaching out and
picking it up.
Berlin-East German talks could
undermine the city's legal posi
tion and weaken lies to West
Germany.
Tlie Soviet Embassy in East
Berlin announced Saturday it re
fused to accept an American
protest Friday against the
Christmas Day murder by East
German border guards of a
young refugee. The Soviet ac
tion was in line with the Com
munist attempt to cut West
Berlin's legal ties with tlie West
; and build up the Soviet concept
! of an independent, sovereign
East Germany.
More than 70.000 West Berlin
ers used the Christmas passes
Saturday to enter East Berlin to
visit relatives and a city
spokesman said the number
Sunday might be as high as
150,000.
The Communists made three
different offers to conclude a
new agreement to allow West
Berliners to continue to pass
through the wall after the pres
ent holiday season agreement
runs out Jan. S.
A West Berlin spokesman
said the city government "is
Teady" to negotiate again with
the East Germans. He ex
pressed the hope an agreement
would alleviate some of the in-

couple, Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Crawford of 3204 Crest was
killed Saturday morning when
their 1952 sedan was hit by a
slow moving Southern Pacific
freight train here.
Siskiyou County Sheriff's offi
cers said Crawford, 77, w h o
was driving, was killed instant
ly. His wife, Celia Ann, 72, died
minutes later at the scene of
the mishap. The accident oc
curred at 9: 15 a.m.
Officers said Crawford, who
was traveling south on High
way 97, apparently stopped at
the railroad crossing and then
started up again just as the
train arrived.
The engineer, George Belskey,
spotted the car seconds before
the crash and hit his emergen
cy brake but was unable to stop
in time.
The impact pushed the car
about 45 feet, demolishing the
vehicle. The train was going 30
to 35 miles per hour at t h e
time.
Sheriff's officers said a pass

possible" to save Mrs. Craw

The bodies were taken to

Klamath Falls where funeral
services are pending.

defense problems bi-Iateral as
well as NATO problems."
The private meeting gave

two chief executives to size up
and get to know each other in
the U.S. Embassy in the West
German capital of Bonn. He
was acting in the absence of

and Americans stand "united
against danger and strong in
hope" for a solution to East

from Bonn.

Sweepstakes honors in the an

awarded to Harold Halterman,

of judges.
It marked the second year in

of Mary holding the baby Jesus
as Joseph looks on. Above the

in Scotland. It was
reponed prompted by fears the
strike between Greek and Turk
ish Cypriots in this former col
ony might lead to a conflict
between t w o NATO allies,
Greece and Turkey.
President Makarios indicated
Saturday night alter a meeting
with Sandys that Cyprus might
reject the help of Greece and
Turkey to end its communal
strife and rely on Britain alone.
Tlie bearded archbishop, him
self a Greek Cypriot, told news
men, "I think it would be better
if Cyprus accepts only tlie help
of Great Britain." He said that
was because Greece and Tur
key have direct interests at
stake in the island.
Cyprus accused Turkey al an
emergency meeting of the Unit
ed Nations Security Council in
New York early Saturday of
terrorizing the Greek Cypriots
by sending a dozen warships
toward Cyprus. But Turkey offi
cially denied the charge.
In Alliens Premier George
Papandieous issued a statement
welcoming the easing of ten
sion. He denied reports the
Greek armed forces had mobil
ized and said the situation in
Cyprus "is becoming daily less
abnormal."
He welcomed Turkish assur
ances that Turkey planned no
landing and urged the Greek
press to check the veracity of
all reports in order to avoid
spreading needless alarm.
Sandys met immediately with
British High Commissioner Sir
Arthur Clark and Maj. Gen.
Peter Young, overall comman
der of the British, Greek and
Turkish troops on Cyprus. He
scheduled an early meeting with
President Archbishop Makarios
and Turkish Vice President
Fazil Kuchuk.
Sandys said one of his first
problems was that of securing
more complete and effective co
operation between the three
military contingents of the joint
force and admitted there were
"certain practical difficulties."
British troops in armored
cars and jeeps draped with the
British flag maintained calm
with "family protection pa
trols.' Plans to use mixed pa
trols of British, Greek and Turk
ish soldiers were postponed be
cause of language difficulties.
