Vital Bond Issue City Manager George Weimer is slated to appear before a number of local organizations within the next few weeks to drum up support for passage of the $9.8 million water bond issue on the Nov. 3 ballot. During his talks, Mr. Weimer will outline the many aspects of the bond issue, the passage of which he considers necessary in order to assure adequate water facilities for our fast-growing city. Now $9.8 million is a tidy sum to be asked to vote on in any man's language but in reality, it is a small amount when measured in the prospective growth of the City of Orange. If Orange is to attract new industry, it has to offer an adequate water supply and it appears unlikely this will be the case without the passage of the bond issue. We have been assured that the bonds will be paid off from water revenues and not from property taxation. We certainly agree with Mr. Weimer in his contention that the passage of such an issue is necessary to assure future growth of our community. Another Case A confessed strangler of a school girl was spared from execution by a recent California State Supreme Court decision. He faces formal sentencing on Oct. 6 in Ventura. The 22-year-old citrus factory worker will appear before a superior judge in the admitted sex slaying of a 13-year-old Santa Paula girl but his sentence will not be that of the supreme penalty. The district attorney permitted the youth to plead guilty on condition of a life sentence or less, citing an August 31 court decision which holds confessions invalid unless a suspect was informed of the right not to talk and waived counsel — regardless of the fact he had confessed to the appalling attack. A Venutra County grand jury indictment charging murder was dismissed by the judge at the district attorney's request. A life sentence would make the youth eligible for parole in seven years, officials disclose. The indictment was based on evidence including an alleged confession taped by sheriff's deputies after the youth's arrest 10 days following the discovery of the body of the young school girl who has nothing to look forward to in seven or 10 or 100 years admittedly as a result of the youth's violent act. Just another case of only memory of the victim — hope for the assailant despite his confession of the crime. The district attorney permitted the youth to plead guilty on condition of a life sentence or less, citing an August 31 court decision which holds confessions invalid unless a suspect was informed of the right not to talk and waived counsel — regardless of the fact he had confessed to the appalling attack. JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Emphysema A Problem Of The Lungs Dear Dr. Molner: Please explain emphysema. I gather it has something to do with smoking. — E.I. Emphysema comes from a Greek word meaning inflation. The emphysema with which we are concerned healthwise means that the lungs do not inflate and deflate properly. Smoking greatly aggravates emphysema; what really starts it is not known. Anyone with emphysema should give up smoking completely. Emphysema isn't something you can cure; your goal is to prevent it from getting worse. I suggest that you (and the reader who wrote the following letter) get two of my booklets: “How to Control Emphysema,” and “Tips on How to Stop Smoking.” Send 10 cents in coin for each, or 20 cents for both, plus a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope to me in care of this newspaper. Dear Doctor: What can you suggest other than quitting smoking for a person with emphysema? Is there any exercise? Any medicine? — W.L. Yes, there are nearly a dozen things that can be done, but emphysema treatment can be complex and the best regimen must be individualized to suit each patient. The degree to which he is affected by the alliment makes a great deal of difference. How much difficulty does he have in getting his breath? Simple breathing exercises can be helpful by encouraging the greatest possible use of the lungs and not leaving all the work for the power parts. Positive pressure breathing equipment and oxygen are used to good effect in some cases. Sometimes using oxygen once or twice a day makes a noticeable difference. A variety of medications are effective, too. Again, remember that this is not a matter of “shotgun medication.” The right drug must be used for the particular type of difficulty. Among those frequently used are bronchial dilators; medications to loosen phlegm and other secretions in the lungs and respiratory passages; inhalants to relax spasm in the respiratory system if that is a significant part of the problem. Yes, giving up smoking is a vitally important part of the treatment, and that is something you can and must do for yourself. Dear Dr. Molner: The doctor says my husband has arterio- sclerosis. Is this the same atherosclerosis — Mrs. L. H. They are both forms of h eening of the arteries. Ather sclerosis usually refers to thickening of the inner lining of the small arteries as in parts the heart, kidney and eye. A rirosclerosis implies a thicker of the wall of the larger ar ticles, such as the aorta (m artery leading from the heart and the large arteries of legs. The fatty deposits which cumulate in the lining (ath erosclerosis) are more liable obstruct circulation by cause formation of clots. Dear Dr. Molner: I ha r arthritis of the spine and h I get relief from warm bath and am thinking of buying whirpool device that I can in my tub. Would it give long lasting relief? — MRS. R.E. A whirlpool bath is an accept e form of physiotherapy, a such devices are now available for home use. I would exp this to help you. It can be u as often as necessary for lief. Whether it will make re longer lasting is hard to s but probably yes. "Vitamin starvation" is p able even if you eat a lot. ALFRED SHEINWOLD Contract Bridge DON'T ACCEPT GOOD ODDS. IN PLACE OF SURE THING. "I never complain about bad luck," South remarked in a rather mournful tone. "I'm perfectly satisfied with odds of 3 to 1 in my favor. But I must say it's very unlucky to lose a hand like this, and I don't see anything to laugh about." We stopped laughing at once. South never stops complaining, but he always has two or three kinds of cheese within easy reach of the bridge table. When a man cuts a delicious slice of cheese you can overlook the way he hacks a bridge hand. In this case South won the first trick with the queen of clubs and entered dummy with a heart to try a finesse with the queen of diamonds. West won with the king of diamonds and returned a heart to dummy's ace. Declarer now led the ten of diamonds for a second finesse, losing to the jack. This was the end of the hand. South took only eight tricks and then issued his bitter statement about never complaining. Good Arithmetic South's arithmetic was correct when he said that the odds were 3 to 1 in his favor. A single finesse is an even money shot. If you take two fineses, the odds are 3 to 1 that at least one of them will work. The trouble was that South's bridge wasn't as good as his arithmetic; the hand is absolutely unbeatable if he plays it correctly. After winning the first club South should lead out the ace and queen of diamonds — refusing to take any fineses at all. West can take the king of diamonds and return a heart to dummy's king, but this attack comes too late to do any good. Declarer gives up another diamond trick and gets back to dummy with the ace of hearts to run the rest of the diamonds. He thus wins eleven tricks instead of only eight.

(Foreign News Commentary) By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Not the least of United States and British concern over Cyprus is the mounting Communist influence there, having as its nucleus the island's own well-organized Communist party and made respectable by President Archbishop Makario's open flirtation with Moscow. In Nicosia, the capital, Soviet Ambassador Pavel K. Yermoshin becomes the man of the hour, while U.S. and British representatives find themselves regularly damned not only by the Cypriot press but by Makarios himself. And while Makarios as a churchman must oppose communism, he has made it equally clear that he will deal with anyone who might help him crush his Turkish Cypriot opposition. As for the Communist party of Cyprus, it is the only politirun by men trained in N.C. and taking their orders there. Controls Labor Union Its membership is est at around 10,000 but it all controls labor unions with a matured 30,000 members, or half of the island's orgy labor force. Further, in contrast to Red organizations, open rightist labor and youth are considered both illicit and badly disciplined. Turkish sources, admired, estimate that about 60% of all Greek Cypriot Communist connections. And, while moving coily, the party has been able to capitalize on its found popularity. A party declaration at the U.S. of plotting to throw Makarios and of paving a goal from which Wasil could "profit from the that would follow."

An obvious Soviet goal prevent extension of NA Cyprus, as would occur Greek union, and to new British bases already there.

On Deadline The Coin Shortage A Sticky Problem The average worker always seems to be suffering from a dollar shortage — but now it appears he will also be the victim of a shortage of coins. It could be that eventually we will have to go back to the old "wampum" system of trading — back to the days of furs and beads. This is mainly because the current coin shortage is likely to get worse instead of better. It will surely call for some radical revision of our system of subsidiary coinage. But the public psychology produced by the mere contemplation of such measures is likely to make the shortage even more severe. As monetary expert George Hagedorn said recently, the underlying problem is that silver production is insufficient to meet the growing demand for silver in industry. The difference is made up from the U.S. Treasury hoard accumulated during the years when the Treasury was buying silver and issuing silver certificates against it. mates vary, but it seems more and more likely that it will be all gone in two or three years. When that happens the market price of silver will rise. It wouldn't have to rise much before it became worthwhile to melt silver coins down. Thus the more coins we make the closer we get to exhaustion of government silver stocks and the more incentive people have to keep silver coins in the bureau drawer rather than in circulation. This is a vicious circle indeed. If the conduct of business is not to be impeded by a lack of coins, some solution has to be found. Most suggestions center around the idea of using some material other than silver in our coins — other metals or perhaps even plastics. An alternative would be to issue paper money for fractions of a dollar. Either of these measures would in themselves make problems. The public wouldn't easily adjust to accepting as money something radically different from what they had been used to. The vending machine industry would have to change its equipment drastically. church got approval for construction in northeast Orange Monday night. Not a protest was levelled. Protests and unfamiliarity with particular variances were the cause for holding up decisions on three petitions Monday night before Orange Planning Commission. As monetary expert George Hagedorn said recently, the underlying problem is that silver production is insufficient to meet the growing demand for silver in industry. The difference is made up from the U.S. Treasury board accumulated during the years when the Treasury was buying silver and issuing silver certificates against it. But this same hoard is now the source which the Treasurer uses to make its dimes, quarters and half-dollars. They are working day and night to relieve the coin shortage and the hoard can't last forever. Estimates of these measures would in themselves make problems. The public wouldn't easily adjust to accepting as money something radically different from what they had been used to. The vending machine industry would have to change its equipment drastically. But the worst aspect of the problem is that even the proposal of such steps is likely to make the public cling that much more closely to their silver coins. SYLVIA PORTER Economic Outlook Is Glistening On this first day of autumn, 1964, and late in this 43rd month of strong, sustained business advance to all - time peaks, this is the glistening outlook. (1) There is no direction except UP for the U.S. economy to go between now and the end of 1964, at the very least. This will mean that by Jan. 1 our current peacetime business rise will have outlived even three of our four war booms—those of the Civil War, World War I and the Korean conflict—and will be second in duration only to the boom of World War II. It also will mean that this expansion will have an excellent chance of outdistancing the 50-month peacetime recovery so marred by enormous joblessness and widespread business failures that it simply does not belong in the same class as todays' upturn. (2) There's no direction except UP for consumer spending are quickening and our problem soon well may be curbing price - wage increases so that they do not endanger our prosperity. (5) There's no direction except UP for the U.S. government's tax take to go — even at today's lower income tax rates. Despite the skeptics, lower tax rates are bringing in more taxes, because the lower rates have been stimulating the employment, paychecks and profits which produce the taxes. (6) There's no direction except UP for employment to go now. This always is the trend at this season of the year and at last our expanding economy is creating enough jobs to absorb most adult workers capable of filling available jobs. So it goes on this first day of autumn, for we are still in the most prolonged period of across the board peacetime And, while moving cautiously, the party has been attempting to capitalize on its newfound popularity. A party declaration accused the U.S. of plotting to overthrow Makarios and of pursuing a goal from which Washington would "profit from the chaos that would follow." Promise No Discrimination A party protest that its members were being banned from the armed forces drew from Makarios a promise that any such discrimination would be ended. Within Makarios's own government are believed to be a number of Communist party members. The geographical location of Cyprus in the eastern Mediterranean, its relationship to NATO and Makarios's new relations with Moscow have produced ironies. As a spokesman for Greek Cypriots Makarios frequently as called for union with Greece. Yet a condition of Soviet aid is laid down by Nikita Khrushchev is that he should abandon nosis, union with Greece. An obvious Soviet goal is to prevent extension of NATO to Cyprus, as would occur under Greek union, and to neutralize British bases already there. Last piece of mail in the mailag: An exquisite picture postcard from Denmark, sent by Cola Maag who is over there shipping through Scandinavian countries with Soroptimists from Orange and the world. She says, "Denmark and Switzerland are very clean countries. No signs on boulevards, no paper or dirt on streets." Just like home? What do you think? (2) There's no direction except UP for consumer spending to move in the months ahead. We have been saving an extraordinary 8.2 per cent of our after-tax personal incomes and this high rate of savings will not continue for long. At the same time, our personal incomes are $27 billion higher than a year ago and we have a lot of credit on which to draw. (3) There's no direction except UP for business spending to go in the foreseeable future. In the final months of 1964 investment by businessmen in plants and equipment will be running at an annual rate of more than $46 billion, a full 38 per cent above the levels of early 1901. Meanwhile, businessmen have been astoundingly restrained in their buildup of inventories — and while the restraint may be primarily due to the help computers have given them in keeping inventories in line, there's no doubt business will have to spend more to meet buyers' demands. (4) There's no direction except UP for prices and wages to go. Wholesale prices are still below their levels of three and one-half years ago, when this upswing began, and the pace of rise in consumer prices has been only a crawl. Wage increases also have been comparatively moderate. Now, though, the upward pressures this expansion will have an excellent chance of outdistancing the 50-month peacetime recovery so marred by enormous joblessness and widespread business failures that it simply does not belong in the same class as todays' upturn. So it goes on this first day of autumn, for we are still in the most prolonged period of across - the - board peacetime upturn in 110 years of recorded business history. Aren't there problems? Of course there are — and the very fact that our economy is at such towering peaks warns us to be constantly on the alert for forces which might topple us from the peaks. One basic problem lies in our failure to narrow the deficit in our international financial accounts (balance of payments) to a tolerable figure. As long as we spend so much more abroad than we earn abroad, there will be an ever-present danger to the U.S. dollar's stability. Another real problem lies in the possibility that our price-wage upswing may accelerate in 1965. This well may force the Federal Reserve System to clamp down on credit. A third lies in the slowdown on residential building. We're lucky this adjustment is taking place while other types of building continue rising. Our problems are likely to get tougher just because our economy has been expanding for so long a period. Right now, though, we are in a prosperity no other generation before us ever has matched — and we are chalking up records no industrial country comparable to us in complexity or responsibilities has ever approached.
