Rhee Urges Asian Attack
in fiery Congress Talk
WASHINGTON Wl - South Ko
rean President Singman ' Rhee
proposed Wednesday that an Asian
army f more than two million
men, backed by U. S. guns, planes
and ships, launch a "counterat
tack" on Communist China,
In a speech prepared for deliv
ery before a joint session of -Congress,
the fiery 79-year-old Korean
leader said:
"Let us remember that peace
cannot be restored in the world
half Comunist and half Demo
cratic. ' , . ' ,
"Your momentous decision Is
needed now to make Asia safe for
freedom, for that will automatical
' ly settle the world Communist
problem In Europe, Africa and
America."
Rhee told Congress the essence
of Soviet strategy for world con
quest is to hill Americans into a
"sleep of death by talking peace
until the Soviet Union possesses
enough hydrogen bombs and inter-
. continental Dormers to pulverize
th atrfipMa atwI nroductive cen
ters of the United States by sneak

Geddes Shows Positions
On Contemplated Dams
In line with the non-political po
licy of the Glide Kiwanis Club,
State Sen. Paul Geddes handled a
political hot potato with exception
al laclc of bias.
News - Review Correspondent
Arthur Sclby said the discus-
lion dealt with federal control of
power as against local or private
control and its effect on the econ
omy of the various communities.
Geddes illustrated his report
with maps showing comtemplated-i
- dams for power purposes in the
Columbia River Valley and tribu
tary streams in the central part
of the state. He also explained its
' effect on taxation as well as elec
tricity rates.
He did not, however, take a
stand on either io nf the power
problem which stands high as a
national issue. He explained to the
20 members present that he would
only delineate the facts and leave
the conclusions to the individual
members.
The meeting was held at the
Red Barn.

Rhee's call to arms ran counter
to U. S. policy, expressed by both
President Eisenhower and Secre
tary of State Dulles. Both said
publicly last week the United
States does not favor resumption
of the Korean War.
"The American Air Force as
well as the Navy would be needed
to insure the success of the coun

gime," Rhee said, adding: "But
I repeat, no American foot

And, the South Korean leader
asserted:
'"the Soviet Union wHl not stop
of its own volition. It must be
stopped."

WASHINGTON M The House
Wednesday passed a compromise
estimated $1,363,000,000.
Final action came after the
House defeated 227-169 a Demo
cratic move to strip from the pro
gram a disputed tax cut on divi
dends. The 1,000-page bill now goes to
the Senate, where a similar fight
over the dividend tax cut is ex
pected to precede . final congres
sional action on the biggest tax
overhaul in 75 years.
Uemocrats moved to strike from
the biU a disputed provision to per
mit taxpayers to subtract 4 per
cent of their dividend income from
the taxpayimcnt they otherwise
would make.
Their move would have sent Mm
bill back to a House-Senate con
ference committee, which worked
out the compromise version. Tne
Senate still has to act on the com
promise.
WASHINGTON Wl - The House

tentative approval given the bill
Tuesday after seven hours of de

The bill is the last. of the ap

Its total is $812,213,554 less than
President Eisenhower requested,
but his House leaders, with Demo

trim it further.
The bill went to the Senate,
where it joins a separate measure

Attorney Charles 0. Porter was
apparently ready to concede his
loss of the first round in the case
of Donald E. Bailey, who was al
legedly "boss convict" at the Ore
gon State Penitentiary before his
disappearance last Nov. 13.
But Porter wasn't ready to
quit. After his writ of habeas cor
pus action was dismissed (See
Page 1), Porter said he would let
his affidavits for contempt of
court against Warden Gladden and
Sheriff Baird stand. "I think we'll
go right ahead with the contempt
proceedings," he said.
Porter even indicated he felt
strengthened by the action. He'
said a "conspiracy" set up the dis
missal of his writ action. He said
the contempt proceedings have
been based on the. "rescue" of
Bailey by Gladden when he was in
Sheriff Baird's custody.

Victor J. Herbert of Chicago,
acting president of the association,
came here in connection with the
dispute and announced 150 agents
would slay away from work but do
not plan to picket West Coast of
fices. The association, affiliated with
Hie Air Line Pilots' Assn., recently
conducted a strike vote.
Herbert said the agents have
been seeking a wage increase of
about 6 per cent, and time and a
half for work above eight hours a
day. He said the company has of
fered an increase of about 2 V4
per cent.
Company Claim Differs
A company spokesman said
wage demands of the agents were
closer to 9 than 6 per cent. He
said the company had offered in
creases up lo 4 Vi per cent.

Normally this month is the warm

the weatherman says, but every,
thing seems to be sent in double
measure this year.
The July normal high temper
ature is 83.4 degrees. The normal
low temperature is 54.3. Thu
vear the norms have been lower,
due to cooler night-time read
ings, but the thermometer has
climbed right up during the day.
Biggest contributing factor to
the fires, according to the Weather

caused by the low humidity.
Humidity Stays Low
Humidity has been low almost

the time.' .
Thus far the weather , bureau

are giving DFPA the most trouble.
Three to four brush and gra35
fires daily are' put out by. the
association. This year the area has
dried out faster than 1953, and
there have been more fires. He
added there would be danger
from any lightning and thunder
storms in August and September.
Five Suppression Crews
The DFPA has five suppression
crews, numbering 58 men, in this
district. Including 10 men at Elk-
Ion; 10 at Hinkle Creek (East of

Dispatcher Miller isn't happy
with' smokers and careless rubbish
burners. He says five blazes this
year have been started by
thoughtless smokers. S e v e rat
times, he adds, rubbish burners,
without permits, have . started
brush and grass fires.
There have been no major fire
yet this year.
