Eisenhower Opens' The Door
For Return To Summit Talks
WASHINGTON (API President
Eis0ihower held the door open to
day (or a return to summit dip
lomacy if Soviet Premier Khrush
chev will take steps to "pave the
way for useful negotiations."
Eisenhower rejected, however, a
neutralist proposal put forth at the
U.N. General Assembly last week
for an immediate conference be
tween himself and Khrushchev,
No Promise
He said that the record of So
viet behavior since the breakdown
of the Paris summit conference
May 16 gives no promise that a
meeting between the two would
yield productive results.
"I would not want to participate
in a mere gesture which. . .might
convey a thoroughly misleading
and unfortunate impression to the
peoples of the world," Eisenhow
er said.
Eisenhower's views were set out
in a letter sent late Sunday to five
neutralist leaders now attending the
General Assembly meeting in New
York Prime Minister Nehru of In
dia and Presidents Sukarno of In
donesia, Nasser of the United Arab
Interim Group
Plans New Tax
SALEM (TP) The timber
tax Drosram proposed by the In
dustrial Forestry Association will
be recommended to the next leg
islature by the Interim Tax Com
mittee. The tax proposal calls for an ad
valorem tax, similar to a year
ly property tax, rather than a sev
erance tax. which would be paid
when the timber is cut.
There has been pressure on the
legislature for the past few years
for combination 1 ad valorem
and severance tax.
Other points in the tax program
which the committee will present
to the legislature include:
A gross income tax with no de
ductions or exemptions.
A 3-cent tax per package on
cigarettes.
A pay-as-you-go plan for tax
payers not subject to withholding.
Repeal of the inventory tax and
lubstitution of a net business tax.
A deferral plan for property
taxes on homes owned by persons
over 65.
A deferral nroeram on property
taxes for farms which are lo
cated In areas where residential
subdivision may be established.
Th Droffram would permit the
owner to pay farm land assess
ments as long as the property is
used for farming. But if it is sold
for real estate development, the
owner would have to pay back
taxes at the higner residential
rale.
Four Grass Fires
Reported Sunday
Sunday was a bad day for grass
fires or at least it was for the
Roseburg Rural Fire Department
and the Douglas Forest Protective
Association, which were eacn can
ed out twice.
The rural department answered
a call at 7:40 a.m. Sunday on Gar
den Valley Rd. near Browns Bridge.
About an acre of grass was burned
but no damage was reported. The
department's second call came at
4:36 in the afternoon. Again the
fire was on Garden Valley Rd. just
west of the Roseburg city limits.
No damage was reported.
The DFPA's first call was to the
southeast slope of Mount Nebo
where about a tenth of an acre of
grass burned. Fire officials said
the blaze apparently was started
by a tossed cigarette.
The second fire answered by the
PFPA was near Melrose where
25 acres of grass and brush were
burned. No damage was reported.

Area Deer Hunters Successful
Despite The Lack Of Good Rain
The army of deer hunters appar

Awaits U.N. Action
He told them that he understands
and sympathizes with the motives
they had in asking the General As
sembly to call for a meeting be
tween himself and Khrushchev.
Their formal resolution is awaiting
U.N. action.
In blunt, no-concession sentences,
however, he went over the record
of recent Soviet maneuvers not only
in the United Nations but on such
world issues as Cuba and the Congo
and said this record provides no
basis for believing that a meeting
now would be successful.
Eisenhower noted that he had
pledged many times that he would
go "to meet with anyone at any
time if there is any serious prom
ise of productive results."
But he said he saw no such
promise in a meeting now with
Khrushchev.
If the Soviets seriously want to
reduce tension, he said, they can
take action in the United Nations
or elsewhere as in a resumption
of disarmament negotiations or by
the release of two American air
men held in the Soviet Union to
"pave the way for useful negotia
tion." Prepared To Meat 1
Eisenhower said he was pre
pared to have Li. S. representa
tives, including Secretary of State
Christian A. Herter, meet with So
viet officials to discuss measures
for reduction of tension.
"Should such exploratory discus

prepared to return to the path

Second, the letter evidently is in

Rail Workers
Get Compromise
BUFFALO. N. Y. (AP) A
compromise settlement of their
wage dispute with southern and
western railroads went !o 8.500
switchmen for their approval Mon
day. The mail vole will take
about 10 days.
The switchmen received some
additional benefits, union spokes
man said, but the tentative agree
ment was substantially the same
as the one offered to the union
by 17 railroads and switching
companies in July.
It .provides for a 2 per cent
retroactive pay increase effective
July 1, 1960, and an additional
2 per cent increase March 1, 1961.
i ne agreement also includes a
reduction in qualifying time for
vacation, changes in qualifications
for paid holidays, and improve
ment in the overtime rule for
days off, the spokesman said.
ine agreement was reached
Saturday in Washington shortlv
after a federal injunction was is
sued which barred a projected
strike by the switchmen.
federal Judge John O. Hender
son issued the injunction in Buffa
lo the same day. ruling that a
strike would cause, the 17 railroads
anu- swuciung companies in
volved "irreparable harm."
Later. Neil R. Sneirs. president
of the union, said the injunction
forced the switchmen into "an ad
verse position" in the bargaining.
"The settlement is in excess of
the original four per cent offer,
but I don't think it is as good as
we deserve," he said.
The switchmen had rejected a
four per cent wage increase ac
cepted by the other four operating
rail unions. They asked for a six
pet- cent increase, claiming that
the flat four per cent increase put
other operating rail workers furth
er ahead of them on the pay scale.
ine switenmen claim to be the

They average $2.76 an hour.

Hidden Bomb
Blast Rocks
Times Square
NEW YORK (AP)-A .mystery
bomb exploded in the heart of the
Times Square area Sunday, injur
ing seven persons and sending
hundreds fleeing in panic.
The bomb, containing blacx
powder, went up with a roar
heard for blocks. Sunday strollers
were bowled over and showered
with dirt, stones and hedge twigs.
Two laxicabs parked nearby
were covered with earth. The
drivers were away eating.
Police believe the bomb was the
work of a crank.
The explosion followed two
bomb scares and the discovery of
a live hand grenade in Central
Park.
A telephone warning that a
bomb would explode in the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel led to a search
of manv of the hotel's 2.500 rooms.
No bomb was found. A number
of national leaders here for the
United Nations sessions have been
staying at the hotel.
The grenade, a practice bomb
filled with gunpowder, was found
by a gardener in Central Park
hours before a scheduled visit of
Hungarian Communist Janos Ka
dar. The Times Square bomb had
been planted in shrubbery behind
a statue of composer-entertainer
George M. Cohan at 46th Street
between 7th Avenue and Broad
wav.
A hole two feet deep was dug
in the soft earth of the greenery
plot that surrounds the statue.
High Court Order

that the 21 counties, whose coroner

Khrushchev
Challenges
Dag To Quit
UNITED NATIONS, NX (AP)
Soviet Premier Khrushchev to
day challenged Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold to resign. He
threatened to refuse to recognize
U.N. decisions unless the world
organization s peace-making ma
chinery is revised.
Khrushchev, addressing the As
sembly under "right of reply"
procedure, unleashed a new,
heavy attack on' Hammarskjold.
He is seeking to replace the secretary-general
with a three-man
executive board with veto powers.
"To avoid misintcpretation, 1
want to reaffirm that we do not
trust Mr. Hammarskjold and can
not trust him," Khrushchev said.
"If he himself does not muster
up enough courage to resign, so
to say, in a chivalrous manner,
then we shall draw up the neces
sary conclusions from the obtain
ing situation.
"It is not proper for a man who
has flouted elementary justice to
hold such an important post as
that of secretary-general.
The Khrushchev attack came as
the General Assembly's 98 mem
bers waited expectantly for new
efforts to bring Khrushchev to
gether wilh President Eisenhower.
The U.S. President indicated Sun
day ' night he is not ready for
such a meeting in view of boviet
behavior.
Khrushchev rejected the Idea of
a meeting with President Eisen
hower unless there was what he
called a desire to reach agree
ment on the part of the Presi
dent. :
"Some say that Khrush
chev and Eisenhower should be
locked in a room and kept there
until they reach an agreement on
disarmament, but tins, of course,
is naive, he observed.
"We may sit together indefinite-1
ly, - but if no desire to come to
agreement is evinceu ny ine r res
ident, and particularly by those
quarters that back him, no smoke
will come from Die chimney as is
the tradition when a rope is elect
