Thousands Strike By Air, Sea lisid in :-:v..-. - The ' Day's News . ? By tFrdnk Jenkins ' Early Thursday, two men hi jacked a $5 million Continental Air lines Boeing 707 jetliner on its way east from Los Angeles Willi 73 per sons on board and ordered Uie pilot to fly it to Havana. The pilot was quick-witted, lie told them he didn't have fuel enough and would have to land at El Paso to refill his tanks, com ing into El Paso, a woman passen ger panicked and went into hys terics. Fearing that the panic would spread, the hijackers called for volunteers to act as hostages. Four passengers and six crewmen did so. ; The plane landed. The word spread. Officers began to pour into the airport, the ftijacKers ordered the pilot to take off. As he started u taxi out to the main runway officers ran under the wings and shot out the tires and one engine thus preventing the take-off. 'There the situation rests as this is written. This is the second hijacking of an American plane within a week and a half. The first was success ful, and the hijackers got the plane to Cuba. This one failed, thanks to the quick-witted thinking by the pilot who said he had to land for more fuel (although, the reports say, he had plenty) and the offi ce rs who dashed in and prevented the take-off by shooting out the tires and one of Uie engines. There have been reports that the Castro government has a ring in the United States whose mem bers are dedicated to hijacking of American planes. ' What do we do next? Well, when hornets are persist ently stinging you, you won't get very far in the way of permanent relief by trying to catch the indi vidual hornets in a butterfly net. If you want PERMANENT re lief, you will seek out the nest and SMASH IT. Carrying on the analogy When pirates are annoying you. you seek out the pirate nest and destroy it. That's what our fore fathers did in the case of the Bar- bary pirates. These Cuban hijack crs are pirates. They operate not on Uie high seas, but in the high air. The principle is the same. And- ' ' i' Under international LAW, pirates are international criminals to be suppressed by international action or by ANY NATION THAT HAS THE NERVE TO TACKLE THE JOB. Our forefathers, small and weak as the infant United States of America was a century and a half ago, had the necessary nerve. They DID THE JOB. Question: Are WE strong enough to take the risk Involved in suppressing this new form of piracy? Wcll- If we aren't WE'D BETTER GET STRONG ENOUGH. Plane Hijackers Indicted By Jury WASHINGTON (AP) Leon Bearden and his teen-age son were indicted Monday in El Paso, Tex., in the hijacking of a jet passenger airliner last Thursday and the attempt to force Uie crew to fly to Cuba. The Justice Department here announced the action. Bearden, 38, and his son, Cody, 16. have been held in custody in Texas since their arrest on the Continental Airlines plane by FBI agents and border patrolmen nine hours alter it landed at El Paso. They were charged with kid naping and transporting the stol en aircraft across state lines. The grand jury restated those charges, each as a separate count, the Justice Department said, and also charged the Beard ens with conspiracy to commit kid naping. Maximum penalties upon con viction of these charges total life imprisonment for both. $27,000 in fines for the father and $25,000 in fines for the son. The conspiracy count said the Beardcns purchased two pistols in Chandler, Ariz., July 17 and made reservations for the flight on Aug. 2 in Coolidge. Aril., under the ali ases of Karl and Bob Schmidt. The Beardens boarded tho I-os Angeles-Houston (light in Phoenix, Ariz. The Indictment said they kid naped the pilot, copilot and flight engineer at gunpoint while the plane was over New Mexico.

Stanton When my telephone ranjr a few days ago I heard the voice of my (food friend Jim Ferguson, public relations rep resentative for Pacific Power and Light Company. "You editors are well acquainted with Copco," Jim said. "Now that we've merged with Copco, and are serv ing your area, we want you to get acouainted with us and we want to get acquainted with you." That was the start of a pleasant, educational and ex ceedingly busv trip last Friday and Saturday. Editors from daily and weekly newspapers published in the State of Jefferson (southern Oregon and northern California) were picked up by airplane from Klamath Falls, Medford and Roseburg. Hal Schiltz, Myrtle Creek Mail, and Logan White, Sutherlin Sun, also were members of the grouo from Douglas County. Pacific Power and Light is extremely proud of its fresh water production at North Bend, where from the sand dunes it presently is supplying water pulp and parjer mill and can take care of considerably more industry.

This highly interesting session was given over to a brief explanation by the company recreational, and other activities, all intended to acquaint members of the party with what Pacific Power and Light is seeking to do and the policies into the State of Jefferson. After being assigned to dinner, the party was shown technical aspects of the company s operations. Particular emphasis was placed on steam plant construction and oper ation in Wyoming, and the building of the Swift hvdroelec- trie dam and power plant on the Lewis river in Washing ton. The Swift dam was the highest earth-filled structure in the world until it recently higher dam built bv the federal government for a public power unit on the Trinity river in California.

Hal Boyle Hubby-Baiting Is Pastime Of Many American Wives NEW YORK (AP) Lady. would you like to get on better terms with your husband? This is the goal of many wives. But they don't know how to set out to charm that favorite beast in their lives. Husband-pleasing has become a vanishing feminine art in many a U.S. home. It has too often been replaced by husband-baiting which some wives for some rea son find mora exciting. But to get a husband to eat out of your hand, so to speak, all you have to do is to butter him up like a piece of toast. His little ego needs endless bolstering. A husband usually thinks of life as a conspiracy against him. He feels everybody from the bus driver to his employer takes him for granted. What he secretly yearns for is someone who doesn't take him for granted but instead goes to the trouble of making him feel important. You can be that one. Here are a few sample sentences of the kind that are most likely to turn him into your loving little moon calf: "Don't get up, Fred. I'll find some matches. I just love to light your cigars for you." "How can I blame that little blonde for trying to monopolize you at the cocktail party? After all, you were the only real he man in the room." "Now just lie there on the sofa and relax.

DEAR ABBY: I can't mention any names, but I would like your opinion of the following situation: A well-to-do, recently retired man complained that he didn't appreci ate sitting home alone five after noons a week while his wife went out and played cards. She told him she loved playing cards, and re fused to give it up. He asked her how much she could win in a good day. She told him about $10. So now he pays her $10 a day for ev ery day she stays home with him. A FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: A man who has to "pay" his wife to stay home with him is in pretty sad shape. But if she is satisfied, and he it happy, why don't we keep our nos es out of their business? DEAR ABBY: I am a woman. 42, and am expecting my tenth cnild. the trouble is that my eld est is expecting her second child. And, Abby, the whole town is talk ing. They are saying I don't want to get old, and that the only rea son I am pregnant is because my daughter is. This is not true. My husband and I love children, and have always wanted a big family. People say that now that we are grandparents we should leave the business of increasing the popula tion to the younger generation. We are able to support our children. What should I tell my jealou friends? PREGNANT GRANDMA James Marlow About All U.S., Soviets Do Is To Talk About Talking WASHINGTON (AP) At this point the average citizen in Amer ica and the Soviet Union may be wondering why the United States and Russia don't start talking about Berlin instead of talking about talking. President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev have talked repeated ly of their willingness to have American-Russian discussions on the German city but any start of such discussions still seems a long way off. It's as if the two giants of the world this country and Russia had to go into a slow waltz every time they heard the Berlin music played. They went through pretty much the same routine in 1958 and 1959. Since Khrushchev started the rumpus last June 3-4 at his Vienna meeting with Kennedy by de manding once again the allies get out of Berlin there have been' yards and yards of American notes, Soviet notes, allied notes. So far neither side has made a direct suggestion to the other that they sit down together and get moving. Khrushchev in his speech Mon day night addressed to the So viet people but aimed at Kennedy played a kind of hot weather Santa Claus. He had a little of something for everybody. As usual he warned the United States it would get its come-up- pance if it started a war. But he also said "let's not create hys teria" and proposed: 'Let's sit down around a table and negotiate in an honest way." He complimented Kennedy for showing common sense in wish ing to avoid war but at the same time said the United States and its allies "are pushing the world Reader Opinions People's Rights Denied In Jackson Says Reader To The Editor: In reference to an article by me in Reader Opinions, 1 wish to draw your attention to the fact that a simple statement regarding the cruelty of the German soldier in two world wars is in no way an opinion on the Berlin issue. That these German soldiers were supported by the German people is a fact also. I doubt the wisom of placing any trust in a people so devoid of mercy, as shown by the treatment of the Jewish people by the Germans. In the editor's note connected with the article, it was stated, "we are not contending for people or land but for the doctrine of freedom and free elections." You know, and 1 know, that here in our own country, for al most a hundred years, people people subject to military service, taxpayers because of the color of their skin have been denied the right to vote. If we are looking for a city where people's rights are denied i we could start with Jackson, Miss. !

M k4ssaSMat4 DEAR GRANDMA: What mikes you think you have to tell tht m anything? A married woman needs no "excuse" for having a baby, DEAR ABBY: My husband has a thick head of hair of which he is very proud. But he refused to shampoo it more than once every six months. He uses a lot of hair oil, and claims that water will make his hair fall out. We have quarreled about this frequently, and I can't get anywhere with him. Our pillow cases are stained, and his head smells of rancid oil. Can you help me convince him that he should wash his hair more often? TIRED OF ARGUING DEAR , TIRED: A grown man should know that If he wants to keep his hair, he has to keep it clean. If he is too stubborn to take your word for it, urge him to ask his barber.

This speech was in reply to one Kennedy gave July 25 on Berlin The President's tough talk of that date reportedly angered Khrush chev. If so, it didn't show up in Monday's talk which was notable for two things: 1. It showed much more straint than Khrushchev has used at other times 2. It gave an impression when he noted Kennedy s decision to build up the American armed forces-that this whole thing might get out of band. Kennedy's July 25 talk was ob viously intended both to show Khrushchev the allies would not back down on Berlin and to cool htm off a bit. Khrushchev , ap peared a little cooled. Nevertheless, this situation is beginning to look like one in which one word could lead to another until both sides got in deeper than iney wanted or expected Too much has been said on both sides now to remember it all with out a file. But if you had such a tile some of Khrushchev s oer formance at this point would look almost giddy in accomplishing wnai ne said he wanted to avoid Last June 28 he said that if the West called for mobilization of its armed forces the Soviets would lake the necessary steps to strengthen our security." Ten days passed in which the West did no mobilizing. Then sud denly on July 8 Khrushchev said Russia had suspended troop re ductions, promised a couple of years ago. would jump its defense spending 25 per cent this year. In the face of this Kennedy on July 25 proposed building up the American strength a bit by adding 217.000 men to the regular forces, plus a call-up of an unspecified numDer or reservists, plus m ; creased military spending. Then Monday Khrushchev, com I plaining about this, said Russia : may mobilize its reserves and send more troops to its western i border. In that July 25 speech Kennedy ; very clearly souRht to Dut Khrush chev on the propaganda defensive bv blaminff AInsrnw fnr hinl.linn ud trouhle. Kennedy said: "The u-nrU i. not deceived by the Communist attempt to label Berlin a hot-bed ot war. mere is peace in Berlin today. The source of world trouble and tension today is in Moscow, not Berlin. And if war begins, it will have begun in -Moscow, not Berlin." This statement was relaved around the world. Khrushchev na turally tried to get out from un der this indictment by one of the most ancient forms of diplomatic tit-for-tat. He tried to dump the blame back on Kennedy, saying: 'The United States is threatening to start a war. Its allies in the west ern bloc support this dangerous course."

That share was estimated at 37 cents during the second quarter of this year compared with 39 cents in the first quarter and 39 cents in last year s second quar ter. In the 1940s, the share was as much as 54 per cent. I The department said charges for marketing farm products in the second quarter of this year averaged 3 per cent higher than in the first quarter. Nearly all the rise resulted from increases in marketing charges for beef and fresh fruits. The report said marketing firms' costs probably were higher than a year earlier. Average hourly earnings of food market ing employes in May were up 4 per cent from May, 1960. The re port said this rise, may have been offset at least in part by an in crease in output per man hour of labor. The department said a dip in farmers' prices in recent months offset the rise in marketing charges, so the retail cost of farm food products changed little from the first to the second quarter. It was up a little from the second quarter last year "Farm prices of meat animals, eggs and frying chickens in the next few months are likely to con tinue below a year earlier," the report said. "As a" result, the farm value of a given quantity of food is likely to remain below year-ago levels. Marketing charges are apt to stay higher than in the comparable months of 1960."

Monday denied coal industry charges that pro posed electric power generating facilities at the Hanford, Wash., atomic reactor would create sub sidized competition against coal. Ullman told Stephen F. Dunn. president of the National Coal As sociation. no subsidy is involved in the Hanford proposal, and added in a letter: "The issue here is whether to make economic use of a by product source of energy ... or waste the steam into the Colum bia River." Ullman said the government does appear to be subsidizing commercial - type atomic power plants being built by the private power industry, however, since the Atomic Energy Commission has agreed to purchase plutonium created by the plants as a by product for $30 a gram. This amounts to "a hidden sub sidy . . . equivalent to about 15 mills per kilowatt hour of power produced." Ullman said. He said he understood Southern California Edison is seeking near ly $20 million in direct federal grants for a proposed commercial atomic power plant.
