OREGON Johnson, Problems PARIS (AP) Lyndon B. John-i son, U.S., vice president-elect, and i Flench President Charles de uauue naa a 43-iuinme conterence today. Johnson said they dis cussed vthe wide range of prob lems confronting the people of the worm. ' , The two men met in De Gaulle's private office. Although it was billed in advance as a courtesy call, the two men immediately got down to serious talk.' Invited To Palace Johnson is in Paris attending a meeting of parliamentarians from NATO countries. He was invited to the palace in order to give De Gaulle his first official contact with the incoming American ad ministration. On coming from the meeting, Johnson said he had extended his "felicitation and congratulations" to De Gaulle, who is celebrating his 70th birthday today. Then Johnson drove across the Major Unaware Of His Expulsion MOSCOW (AP)-The U.S. Em bassy was in a flurry todav won dering how Maj. .Irving t. Mc Donald Jr. can comply with the Soviet order to leave the country when he doesn't even know he is charged with being a spy. The officer, from Provincetown. Mass., is so far as the embassy knows crossing the snow-covered plains by train on his way toward Moscow and cannot be reached to be told of the fix he's in. The Soviet Foreign Office noti fied the embassy Monday that Mc Donald, 34, its assistant Air at tache, was "cing eM-eHed--oE charges of engaging in intelligence J atuviucB uuu jidu juai ta Auurs io get out ot tne country. The Soviet news agency Tass sum jtiuLfuiiaia was caugnr. rea handed taking photographs of mil itary objectives during a trip to the town of Kurgan, Notebooks with intelligence j Information about defense objectives on the Moscow-Kurgan route were taken from him." . In Washington, Stale Depart ment officials said McDonald's expulsion did not come as a sur prise because it was virtually as sured by a Soviet warning given mm in August, wnen another Air attache, Col. Edwin M. Kirton of Palo Alto, Calif., was expelled on spy charges. It was supposed here that Mc Donald's expulsion was in retalia tion for the arrest of Igor Y. Melekh, chief of the Kussian trans lation section of the United Na tions. Melekh, arrested at his New York aDartment Oct. 28. is ac cused of espionage and faces trial in the United States. Wind Gusts Blamed In Highway Mishap Gusts of wind were responsible for an accident which occurred on U.S. Highway 99 near Azalea Sun day at about 2:30 p.m., according to Mrs. G. B. Fox, News-Review correspondent. Mrs. Phyllis Reulher, 35, of Portland was coming around curve about 500 feet north of the Cow Creek intersection when the wind caught the vehicle. It went out of control and over the bank on the left side, rolling 20 or 30 feet down the bank Mrs. Reuther's daughter, Julie, 9. a passenger in the car, was thrown out first, and Mrs. Reuther was thrown out next. The car was a total wreck. The Rem hers were treated at the Glendale Clinic, where the woman was found to. have three severe scalp lacerations, one of them four inches long and another three inches in length. She also suffered minor lacerations of the right elbow, along with body bruis es and a mild shock. The young ster sustained minor abrasions and contusions. The accident victims were in the clinic for about three hours and were released when Mr. Reuther's sister from Medford arrived and picked them up. The Fair Board rebutted that It had not been approached on such a show and that, although it knew of unhappiness among horsemen with facilities at the fairgrounds, hut had not received written remon strances from the association.

The vice president-elect was ac companied to De Gaulle's resi dence by U.S. Ambassador Amory Houghton. Brief Interview i- In a brief interview in the palace courtyard after Hie talk Johnson said: "We had a very cordial meeting. I felt very stimulated and deeply appreciative for the opportunity to be in the presence of one of the world's great lead ers." Before the De Gaulle talk, John son's aides said the vice president elect bad no intention of bringing up at this time any or the issues on which France and the United States have divergent views. It was an opportunity, however, to sound out De Gaulle. Receptive To Ideas Johnson indicated in a speech Monday that the new u. a. ad ministration would be more re ceptive to some of, De Gaulle's ideas than was the Eisenhower administration. In that light, the NATO parliamentarians today ex amined possible expansion into broader political and economic fields. The vice president-elect in his speech sounded a call for -"new dimensions" for NATO which would "enlarge the community of joint purposes to include new neighbors of the world." Proposals for developing politl cal and economic cooperation within NATO were to come up in closed committee sessions. , New Dimensions Johnson, as a member of the political committee, was in a po sition to spelt out more In detail Germans Asked To Share Cost BONN, Germany (AP) An American financial team today re sumed efforts to ease pressure on the dollar by persuading West Germany to shoulder a larger bur den of foreign aid and Western defense expenses. Secretary of the Treasury Rob ert B. Anderson and Undersecre tary of State Douglas Dillon met for the second day with Econom ics Minister Ludwig Erhard. Prior to the meeting, U.S. ex perts worked out what the Bonn government should do to help the Americans out of their balance of payments difficulties. The Ger man experts were said to have outlined what this properous na tion can contribute. Informants said the experts did not greatly change the American request for increased foreign aid and defense expenses. The Americans were reported to have asked for nearly $1.5 billion while the Bonn government is said to be ready to contribule around $1 billion. The Germans have said they do not want to contribute directly to the costs of keeping U.S. forces in Germany because it would re vive "unpleasant memories" of occupation payments. The Bonn government contends also that such payments might prompt oth er nations wilh soldiers in Ger many to ask for contributions. However, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's government has indi cated it might boost its financial contributions to NATO as a whole. Tavern Owners Thwart Burglary Try; Man Held DEPOE BAY (AP) When Mr. and Mrs. Harlan Losey beard noises as they arrived at their tavern early Monday, they invest igated cautiously. He went to the front door, she to the back. A man suddenly darted out the rear. He sot away although Mrs. lxiscy clipped him on the head with a pistol as he lled.

The man. jailed on a jailed on a marge of burglary not in a dwelling, gave i the name of Donald Ivan Low- man, 29, Portland. He denied the ' break-in. burg In 1961. He said a meeting was held In Roseburg, and one of the purposes was "lo ascertain whether there was enough interest by southern Oregon Arabian hore people lo hold an all-Arabian show in that area in the future." But for 19H1, he said, the stale show had already been set In Portland. Knudt.ion said today he expects a letter soon from Clifford Wilhelm sen, the Pacific Arabian Horse Club representative who attended 22, 1960 what he had in mind in speaking of new dimensions for new neigh bors. One idea discussed in confer ence corridors is a joint program of aid to underdeveloped coun tries. Johnson was a focus of confer ence attention. Although he em phasized that ho was here in his role of Texas senator to fulfill an engagement dating back to last year, other delegates persisted in thinking of him as the new vice president, a key personality in the new administration of John r , Kennedy, and the dominant fig ure in the United Stales Senate. Johnson's aides did not exclude tlie possibility that Hie senator may also meet with some French opposition political leaders such as Guy Mollet, secretary-general of the French socialist party. The military committee was to lake up proposals, voiced Monday by Gen. Lauris Norstad, supreme Allied commander in Europe, for putting atomic weapons into NATO s hands. 90-Foot Wave Covers Island LIMA.

After Ghana charge d'affaires Nathaniel Welbeck left for home on a Soviet plane, the soldiers ar rested and beat up scores of U... officials in revenue for the death of their field commander, Col. J, Kokolo, in the battle. Htld at Gunpoint Some U.N. wurkers were hauled from their cars, others from their houses. Thirty were held at gun point throughout the night. At least 12 officials were still held by the army after a day of futile efforts by the world organi zation to gain their release. The United Nations issued a warning that it would continue to , carry out its mandate to maintain order in the city. Machine guns . were mounted inside U.N. offices uiruugnoui mis steaming, con fused capital. Boost Fir Mobutu The victory boosted the stand- ; ing of Col. Joseph Mobutu in his drive to assert himself as the Congo's strongman. The colonel told U.N. officials the soldiers acted without orders in roimding up U.N. personnel and he promised to bring about Uie release of those detained. Welbeck said he had decided to leave, after a long and stubborn refusal, "because my government wants me to." He said he would make another statement upon bis arrival at Accra, his capital. Departure Ends Battle His departure brought to an end a 12-hour battle between United Nations troops and the Congolese army. Fighting broke out after Welbeck refused to leave the Con-, go as ordered by army command er Col.

Once they left, the neighborhood quickly returned to normal except for battered Congolese armv ve hicles on the streets. At the big military camp, Leo pold II, Congolese soldiers were reported screaming for revenge, however. "You have eaten our colonel," a Congolese officer shouled lo ' Welbeck as the diplomat was es corted from the villa. "If this is , true, we will eat all your Ghana soldiers." Police Withdrawn Gen, Alexander said he was ' withdrawing all Ghana riot police from Lcopoldvifle at once. Ghana's Foreign Affairs Secre tary Richard Quarshie was brought to Leopoldville by Alex ander, apparently to replace Wel beck. But Ouarshie was arrested In his hotel by Congolese soldiers and ncid for an hour. Col. Mobutu appealed for calm and discipline as his troops shut off traffic to Brazzaville, across the Congo River, and began stop ping U. N. cars and searching passengers. Tragic Mistake U.N. officials described the bat tle the first during the five-month-long Congo crisis between U.N. troops and the Congolese army as a "tragic mistake." They said Alexander had ar rived two hours before it started in a Soviet Ilyushin plane with or ders to take Welbeck to Ghana.'
