Eight Americans camped at the bottom of the world found Wednesday they would have to move. The snow vehicle they hoped would make travel easy broke down while their own breath grew short In the thin polar air and 25 below-zero cold. The party of Navy Seabees, landed by ski planes Tuesday to build a U.S. base at the South Pole, reported by radio that their survival tents were pitcliea eigne miles away from the Pole. If they cannot repair their caterpillar -track weasel, they must trudge the distance through powdery, knee-deep snow.

" It's touchy. . The experts think the anti-Stalinists in the Kremlin (Kruschev and Bulganin) are probably under se vere attack by the pro-Stalinists headed by tough old Molotov. The stakes in such a struggle are high because the big question to be de cided is who will hold the reins of power and who will get shot against the wall. That's communism for you. The showdown may come next week, when the central committee of the Russian communist party meets in Moscow. The central com mittee is the chief policy maker for the communist party which runs Russia, although it numbers only about 10 per cent of the popu lation. Would a shooting battle between Russian factions be good for us? It could be. But The gang in power might start (Continued on Page 4.

N. ac tion Wednesday to halt what it described as a threat of aggres sion from Israeli, British and French forces reportedly massing along the borders of Syria and Jordan. Interrupting a debate on the Hungarian situation, Syrian dele gate Farid Zinnedine read a mes sage to the 79-nation General As sembly from his government re porting the troop concentrations and calling for immediate U. N. action. Zinnedine did not elaborate on his remarks about the presence of British and French forces in Israel. A British spokesman immed iately called newsmen together and denied that any British forces were in Israel. Zinnedine also charged that British, French and Israeli Dlanes had been flying over Syrian ter ritory lor some days and that, in some cases, they had encounters with Syrian aircraft.

For Thanksgiving Day cold weather was forecast for the North, and cool weather for the South. A storm over the Great Lakes touched off widespread snow from the eastern section of the Dakotas to upper Michigan. Park Falls, Wis., reported 10 inches of snow on the ground. Cold air enveloped all but the easternmost one fourth of the na tionexcept for the ! southwestern corner. Eagle, Colo., had a tem perature of 20 below zero. Other readings included: Den ver 11, Bismarck, N.D., Albuquer que, N.M., and Salt Lake City 15, Omaha 16, Duluth 18, Amarillo, Tex., 19. Casper, Wyo., 20, Spo kane, Wash., and Kansas City, Mo., 26, Portland, Ore., 29. The 7 above reading at Win slow, Ariz., was the coldest ever recorded there this early in the season. Wet weather Wednesday pre ceded the eastward movement of the cold front. Rain and sleet were reported in areas east of the snow belt. Rain and showers fell eastward through Lower Michigan, through New York and to the Atlantic coast, southward through the Ohio Val ley, and tapering off to a narrow band of showers in the South through Arkansas and Louisiana.

Molotov was appointed minister of state control Wednesday night in what appeared to be a victory for the Stalinists in the Kremlin power struggle. Moscow Radio indicated Molo tov, an oldtime Stalinist, retained his office as a first deputy pre mier. -He is a former foreign min ister. His new post gave him extensive control over a wide range of So viet activities. The dead dictator Joseph Sta lin was minister of state control for three years before he took over as supreme boss of the Soviet Un ion in 1922. Moscow Radio said Molotov was relieving V. G. Zhavoronkov in the conirol ministry. In recent years the holder of the post has held relatively little prestige in the Kremlin hierarchy and Zhavoronkov is almost un known to the outside world. But the fact that the post has such wide paper powers and was given to a man presumably re taining the title of first deputy pre mier was viewed here as indicat ing a big step up for the pro Stalinist former foreign minister. Molotov left the Foreign Min- istry this year just before the Moscow visit of Yugoslav Presi- dent Tito, the first of the rebels against Staun-une communism. Tito only last week publicly dis closed a rift between Stalinists in the Kremlin and the "soft" fac tion led by Nikita Khrushchev, rariy. Tuesday a report reached Brit ish diplomats indicating far-reach ing changes were imminent in the Kremlin hierarchy. Molotov's new post was the first clear indication that the Stalinist faction was gaining in strength, The majority view among diolo mats here was that Molotov was back in a position of real power. The revolt in Hungary, develop ments in Poland and restlessness in other areas of the Soviet sphere had led to speculation that the Stalinists would move back into the spotlight. Glide School Census Down From '55 Figure The 1956-57 Glide school census just completed, shows a total of 1,139, down 18 prospective students from the 1955-56 census of 1,157. Supt. Harry Harvie said there was an unusual balance in the total figures between the Glide schools and the Deer Creek School. Last year's total for Glide was 733 compared to 711 for this year, down 2 registrations. Deer Creek last year's count was 295 compar ed to this year's of 317, a gain of 22, which balances the Glide loss. The debit side of the count is charged against the Toketee Falls School, 1955-56 total being 129, this year's 111. Harvie stated this loss could be explained by the comple tion of Copco construction in that area and employees moving away. Inscription Turns Up In Wall Of City Hall The inscription of "4-9-92, P. A. Blackey" turned up on a two-by-six board in a wall of the Rose burg city hall today. It was found by workmen cutting a door through the wall between the police depart ment and the city recorder's of fice. The wall, formed of the two-by-sixes stacked one on top of an other, was once part of the city jail, according to the police. The city hall was built in 1884. Several other names were written on the wall. Every Bit Of Oregon Farm Land Said Necessary PORTLAND I Every bit of Oregon farm land will be needed eventually to feed the increasing population, the slate agriculture director said Tuesday. James E. Short, speaking at a Kiwanis Club farm program, said the current farm surpluses are only temporary and the situation will ne reversed in the future. He said Oregon's farms create 400 million dollars annually in new wealth, and credited crop di versity and good yields for keep ing the stale farm economy in a healthy condition.

I ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1956 Federal Action Planned To Halt Waterfront Strike NEW YORK Wl The govern ment planned to go into federal court here Wednesday in an ef fort to eliminate one major issue in the 20-million-dollar-a-day At lantic and Gulf Coast dock strike. Officials said in Washington the National Labor Relations Board will seek a temporary restraining order to bar the strikers from insisting on a coast-wise or multi ple port contract. However, the strikers could obey such an injunction and still con tinue the walkout on economic is sues. The crippling tieup threatened to spread to the Pacific Coast.

Krishna Menon led a concerted drive by neutral Asia Wednesday to get Hungary to throw open its borders to U.N. observers. Menon appealed directly to Hun garian authorities to invite Secre tary General Dag Hammarskjold to Budapest and discuss with him the question of admitting on-the-spot investigators. He called on all nations, "with out a dissenting vote," to support a resolution insisting on immed iate entry of an observer team. A high Russian source indicated Tuesday the resolution was unac ceptable. Representatives of Ceylon and Indonesia also voiced the same demand. They were part of a ris ing tide of indignation over de portation of Hungarian patriots. The 79-nation General Assembly was scheduled to wind up debate on two major resolutions and a number of amendments. Heavy majorities were expected for anti- Soviet resolutions.

PRICE 5c Threat Army Camp Set To Welcome 62 Hunaarians CAMP KILMER, N.J. Wl-This sprawling Army camp is ready to extend a warm welcome on this eve of Thanksgiving to 62 Hunga rian refugees from Soviet terror. Posted over its gates is a huge sign in Hungarian reading "God has brought you." The refugees were expected to arrive at McGuire Air Force Base today aboard a four-engine DC4 chartered from the Flying Tiger Airlines by the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migra tion.

Francis Walter (D-Pa), co author of the .".cCarran - Walter Immigration Act, said in an in terview in Vienna Tuesday that America should admit 17,000 Hun garians, not just 5,000. "I don't know where that 5,000 figure came from," he said. "My information is that as many as 17,000 could legally be admitted as 'escapees' and they should bo." In Austria, meanwhile, the flight of refugees across the border from Hungary continued at the rate of more than 3,500 a day three or four times as fast as they can be resettled.

A defiant crowd of about 300 broke through the ranks of Port Said police at the station and were forced back by British troops. A handful of agitators urged the crowd forward, but it was slowly pushed from the station and across the street. The troops then marched to their camp of British army tents pitched on the beach. The six-car train, decked with blue and white U.N. banners, was ' greeted at the cease-fire line 30 miles from the port by cheering British soldiers. They rushed from their front line positions and shook the hands of the Norwegians lean ing out of the windows. "Glad you're here, Bud. Glad you're here," a British soldier shouted, others took up the cry and one predicted that "it can't be long now" until the British and French forces with-draw from Egypt. But this observation met no en couragement in official quarters. Lt. Gen. Sir Hugh Stockwell, British commander said any Brit-' ish-French withdrawal "if it's done in four weeks won't be dig nified." Port Said has been a center of tension since a cease-fire halted the fighting in the canal area. Egypt has charged the occupying forces with atrocities against Egyptian civilians.
