(Paul Jenkins) Khrushchev Rejects West Plan For Disarmament, But Proposes Inspection Posts HELSINKI Wi Nikita Khrush chev Thursday rejected Western proposals for control of disarma ment and nuclear weapon produc tion as a "screen to mask plans to continue the arms race." However, the Soviet Communist party boss told a two-hour news conference the Soviet Union would agree to the establishment of in ternational inspection posts in the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and other countries if this would facilitate agreement on the banning of nuclear tests. Khrushchev said the Soviet Un ion found "quite comical .sugges tions Mo "photograph the Arctic ice." This was a reference to U.S. proposals that an inspection zone be set up outside Europe, possibly in the Arctic, as a starting point for East-West agreement on Pres ident Eisenhower's "open skies" plan. Khrushchev's remarks, made in answer to a reporter's questions, indicated a stiffening of the So- New Residence, Road Work Bids Being Called Bids for construction of a new residence and road stabilization at the Kock Creek Hatchery have been called by the Slate Game Commission. They will be opened June 19 at 10 a.m. at the Portland office of the commission. The new residence will he a throe-bedroom house for staff members at the hatchery. The road stabilization will in volve construction of a retaining wall along about 300 feet of a road to the hatchery. This is ex pected to cost about $10,000. The commission spent over $7,000 last year in putting up a retaining wall along the west bank of Rock Creek. The job to be let will be an extension of this wall, since high waters have threatened the road in the winter. James Vaughn, supervisor of this district, meanwhile reported that department also this year expects to renovate its grinder room and install one of the newest type grind ers for grinding food for the fish.

Western delegates to the current , negotiations in London of the U.N. disarmament subcommittee had i indicated that the Russians there j were showing signs of wanting to reacn at least a limited agree ment with the west. The Russian proposal for inspec tion posts is an old one, first put forward by the Soviets May 10, 19SS, at the disarmament negotia tions. The Russians proposed then that international inspection teams be stationed at key ports, air ports and road and rail junctions to check on movement of troops and military supplies. Three months later Harold Stas sen, the U.S. delegate to the arms talks, told newsmen that all five nations on the subcommittee the United States, Russia, Brit ain, France and Canada had agreed on ground inspection as a necessary part of disarmament. Khrushchev told the news con ference, which he held with Pre mier Bulganin, that "no system of control can solve the problem of disarmament because it can not prevent any slate from plan ning aggression if it wants to." The party chief said the prob lem of disarmament could be solved only through confidence and trust, particularly among the great powers. Khrushchev said he and Bulgan in planned to continue their trav eling salesmanship abroad with visits to foreign countries still to be announced. He said they would like very much to visit the United States "but no one has asked us and we are too proud to ask for an invitation ourselves."

' 24 Last Of 12 Appropriation Bills Presented WASHINGTON The last of 12 regular appropriation bills was sent to the House Thursday by its appropriations committee, which boosted to about $4,040,000, 000 total cuts it has recommended this year in presidential money requests. The bill allots $814,813,023 to fi nance government public works programs during the fiscal year starting July 1, a reduction of $01,639,977 from the amount President Eisenhower had re quested. As it has on the past 11 bills, the House is expected to follow closely the committee's recom mendations when it considers the bill next week. Not all of the House-passed measures have been passed by the Senate, but that body has adhered generally to House figures on bills it has con sidered. The goal of congressional budget-cutters this session is to cut close to five billion dollars from the President's over-all money re quests totaling $73,300,000,000. A cut of one billion in special measures financing the foreign aid program and the Atomic En ergy Commission would he neces sary to attain that objective. These bills are yet to come. The bill approved by the com mittee Thursday provides funds for the Army Engineers' river and harbor and flood control pro grams, the Reclamation Bureau, the Bonneville Power Administra tion, the Southeastern Power Ad ministration and the Southwest ern Power Administration. Its total is $52,521,977 less than Congress voted for the same pur poses this year. The largest allotment of n e w funds, $619,325,023, was for water resources construction programs conducted by the government. The. money is for 285 projects and activities with a total estimated federal cost of $12,400,000,000.

Japanese court officials said it was not among court records in the case, in which Girard has been charged with "inflicting bod ily injury resulting in death." Conviclion could carry a sentence of up to 15 years in a Japanese prison. The U.S. decision lo turn Girard over to Japan for trial has stirred a storm of protest in the United States and court action seeking to return Girard there. U.S. Army officials In Tokyo refused to discuss reports that Army investigators had secured a new statement from Nickel within the past few days and forwarded it to Army officials at Washing ton.

The Navy announced Wednesday that the plane, flying from the car rier Hornet, was "fired on and slightly damaged by Communist Chinese antiaircraft" in the area of the Formosa Strait. "It appears that the aircraft con cerned was to the westward of its plotted position, being about eight miles off Ihe coast when it was fired on," the Navy announcement added. It said the plane, other wise unidentified, was on a routine training flight at the time, and returned quicklv to the carrier. First word of the incident came from Pciping radio, which said in a broadcast heard in London uiai the Hornet and four destroyers, sailing from Hong Kong, "invaded part of the South China Sea within the territorial waters of China.

A rodeo performer whose career has covered the roles of par ticipant as a rider, clown and mo tion picture stunt man, will appear at the annual Douglas County Ro deo in the role of clown and trick rider this time. He is nationally known Slim Pickens and he has worked all the great rodeos in the nation. Actually, I'irkens' career began as a contestant, riding brahma bulls and bareback hroncs. This vocation was interrupted during World War II when he joined the Air Force. He was dis charged in 1945 and attempted a return to riding. But his service stay proved to be more of an in terruption than anticipated. Pickens found that the weight he had gained in the service left something to be desired when he was riding a hull or a harehark horse. He found himself spending more time in the air riding horses nd hulls than he had spent in the air Corps. Desiring lo slay with (he rodeo, Pickens found a less Irving form of cowboying.

Dissatisfaction with the actions of the two board members in vot ing against the rehiring of a cus todian and a cook flared into the open recently when Schafer, Cum mings and a woman s figure thought to be that of Schafer's wife were burned in effigy near the school. The movement for re call started shortly after. The election is scheduled at the sohoolhouse from 2 to 8 p.m. Mon day.

State police, Roseburg police and Fire Chief W. E. Mills caught up with the youngsters Wednesday afternoon after a day of investi gation. The boys had been over, heard talking about the fire. No charges have been filed, and it's unlikely that there will be. Slate law considers that a child under 10 years of age isn't respon sible for his behavior. Boylike, one of the children was found playing in a sandbox when police stopped by to question him. . This was the story the investi gators learned: The three had broken into an Ellison Transportation Co. bus in the nearby Ellison lot about 1 D.m. Tuesday. They took matches from the glove compartment and a first aid kit. Soon afterward, the three were scrambling on the roof of the Fos ter and Carstens warehouses, hav ing got there via a scaffold at the rear of one of the Carstens build ings. One of the two Carstens ware houses had a skylight in the roof, and a ladder conveniently led into the interior of the building. Down the three went. They said they played in the warehouse for a time before crumpling paper on a mattress and setting it afire. Then they left the building by the way they entered. The fire they left behind did the rest. The boys watched from a near by street as the two Carstens Fur niture warehouses and the Foster building were destroyed. The warehouses were loaded with furniture, and the Foster building was serving as a garage for two Pacific Telephone and Tele graph Co. line trucks and a Sno Cat. The vehicles were destroyed, as was a car in one of the ware houses. Police said the boys were "real scared when questioned, but of ficers believe the youngsters still (ion t realize tne seriousness ot their act. Harold Stassen Denies Reprimand By Sec.

But he acknowl edged he is returning to London with new "procedural" instruc tions. Stassen answered n:testinn from reporters briefly at National Airport as he waited to board a plane for New York and his trans atlantic flight to London. For days he has been here talking primarily with State De partment officials. There were re ports he was in hot water with President Eisenhower and pullcs iui Having given iuu mucn mior mation to the Russians on new U.S. disarmament policy loo far in advance of full agreement with Britain, France and other Allies. The nature of his answers left no doubt that his method of work ing with the Soviets and with Al lied governments had been the real reason for his consultations here. But Stassen was emphatic twice in responding to questions about a reprimand. Each time, Stassen replied with a laugh, "No, of course not." When asked whether he was tak ings new instructions, Stassen re plied, "procedural, yes sub stance, no." This indicated that the U. S. policy plans stand basically where they were when President Eisen hower decided them three weeks ago. These call for concentrating on an aerial inspection zone in the Arctic, for cutting back conven tional arms and for getting an early start on halting atomic weapons manufacture.
