It it understood to reject Russia's demand that Po land and Czechoslovakia be in cluded in diplomatic talks at sum mit issues. The draft, worked out by top State Department officials with the British and French ambassa dors, has been referred to London and Paris for final approval. The Western attitude to the pro posal made by the Soviet govern ment last Saturday apparently talks will have to be held in a series of separate meetings be tween Western ambassadors and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. This arrangement had been re jected by the Western powers last week but is now considered pre ferable to accepting the idea of parity for East-West conferences. It was that principle which the Soviets were seeking to establish, officials here said, in insisting that Poland and Czechoslovakia should sit in with Russia in any summit negotiations involving the lnited States, Britain and France.

A letter received Monday by Ben B. Irving, head of the Water Re sources Survey office, said the meeting would start at 8 p.m. In the letter, Col. Jackson Gra ham, district engineer of the Corps, said the studies to date indicate that under current and forseeable conditions, little, if any, protective work can be justified for the Low er Umpqua area. He said also that it would be necessary for any such works to avert flood damage would require that local interests, share in the cost of the work to a considerable extent. For this reason, he said it is considered important to inform lo cal interests of findings in a basin wide study now being conducted and learn views at this preliminary hearing before the basin wide hearing.

Pine Phone OR 2-3379 Duly Gromyko Dismisses As Sheer Publicity Arctic Inspection MOSCOW I Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko dis missed at "a matter of sheer pub licity" Tuesday President Eisen hower's proposal for international inspection of the Arctic. lie said the United States made the proposal because, "they sim ply need intelligence data con cerning the Soviet territory." He spoke 'at a news conference at the Foreign Ministry. "One can hardly help conclud ing that the authors of that pro posal have once again proved that their plant do not provide for ser ious discussions of either the prob lems of disarmament in general or the problem of preventing a surprise attack in particular," said Gromyko. The foreign minister spoke out as debate on the arctic inspection plan opened in the U.N. Security Council in New York. The Soviet Union proposed to the council that the question he referred to a sum mit meeting. Gromyko told correspondents: "The value of this proposal, which would include in the area under inspection vast territories of the Soviet Union but would not include an inch of the territory of t h e United States proper, is self-evident. "Besides the whole of this ques tion of inspection is detached from any practical steps toward dis armament and is transformed into a matter of sheer publicity."

AlteirmisiSiTO Slot Machines In Grants Pass Seized In Raid GRANTS PASS I Telt slot machines were seized in two vet eran! clubs here Monday by police and sheriff's deputies. A charge of illegal possession of slot machines was placed against Harold Moon, manager of the American Legion Club, where eight of the machines were taken. Four of the devices were seized at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Club where the steward, Elmer Riblett, was arrested on a charge of illegally processing gambling devices. The machines were stored in a locked cell at the Josephine County jail. i Warrant for the seizure was I issued by Dist. Ally. Max Mc.Yiii lin. He based it on an affidavit by Akin Edmund Graham, 31, who had been booked earlier on a bad check charge. Graham told deputies he cashed worthless checks because he had j lost money playing slot machines at the two veterans' clubs. Police said they were investigate , ing nearly 1500 in bti checks passed in the area in recent weeks in connection with Graham's ar rest. Community College Law Topic For Dimick The new community college law passed by the last Legislature will be discussed tonight by Dan Dim ick, candidate for circuit judge, at a meeting of the Woodworkers' Un ion in Reedsport. i Dimick, a state senator, was a co-sponsor of the Community Col lege Law and a member of the Senate Education Committee. i Announcing the subject of his talk, Dimick said it is necessary to inform people throughout the i state of the importance of the com munity college program. "Within the next 6 to 10 years there will be an influx of college students that will cause a staggering load on the taxpayers to provide student facilities at our universities. If our universities are not drastically ex panded, a great many worthv stu dents will be denied the privilege of a college education." Dimick said the answer to the problem lies in the establishment of community colleges throughout ! the state.

Weathered-in air bases and IS mile-an-hour surface winds here Tuesday kept more than 2.500 paratroopers from salvaging even a practice jump from cancelled Exercise Eagle Wing. Treacherous ground winds, dis covered in a test jump bv Maj. Gen W. C. Westmoreland, cut short the S.OOO-man drop Mondav and ended the exercise with half that number already in the air. The remainder of the men of the 101st Airborne Division, still at scattered launching bases when their commander called off the war games, were scheduled to begin arriving at dawn and land by parachute in a training jump, rather than by airplane. Maj. L. A. Breault said the planes were unable to take olf Tuesday as scheduled, and so far ground winds at the base were too high for jumping if the planes should arrive overhead. He said there was a remote possibility of a training jump late Tuesday afternoon by some members of the 501st Battle Group from planes flying out of Sewart AFB, near Nashville, Tenn. Estimating, Appraising Timber Said Complicated (Continued from Page 1) said his agency's appraisals now allow an average exceeding 20 per vein. Finally, the system of measure ment for reaching the conclusions is often difficult, he said. The differences in reaching the appraisal conclusions were made evident by the two men. Hogan called them efforts to "please as many people as possible. Obviously unimpressed was the third member of tire panel, Jim Girard. He called them "account ing prodedures." He said his com pany had neither the time nor staff for "long, drawn out methods-of appraisal." He continued that his I company demands a cruise of at least 10 per cent of volume in in 1 spec-ting sales. He concluded that the main difference between indus try and the two federal agencies is that industry has to be a "lit tle more right" even though it doesn't have such intensive ap praisal formulae. The next meeting will involve a field trip for the foresters to the i state tree nursery in Elklon June 7.
