IhousandTstrike By Air, Sett; The boy's - ... Mum . By Fraiik Jenkins Mystery story: Janio Quadros, who seven month ago was elected president of Brazil by the biggest plurality In Brazil ian history, quits his job abruptly, charging that he has been "defeat ed by the forces of reaction" in his efforts to lead Brazil "in the direction of its true economic free dora." He adds: "I decided to step down because I wanted a Brazil for Brazilians, but in this wish I was confronted by corruption, lies and cowardice which subordinated the general in tcrcst to the ambitions of groups and individuals. Terrible forces rose against me and delivered me to infamy under the excuse of col laboration. He talks like a thwarted com munistwhich, as a matter of fact, he seems to have been. He has sought closer relations with Soviet Russia and oilier communist bloc nations, and has refused to take a stand against Fidel Castro in , Cuba. Moscow radio announced day before yesterday that he had ac cepted an invitation to exchange diplomatic relations with the sovi et Union and had agreed to visit Moscow soon. So much for Chapter One. Let's take a look now at Chapter Two. While all this was going on, Bra zil's vice president Joao Goulart (who had been elected on the same ticket with Quandros) was in Com munist China on official business. As soon as he heard what had bap pencd, he took off by plane for Brazil via Singapore and London. Saturday morning's dispatches from liio de Janeiro report that political observers in Rio speculate that Goulart, a veteran of practical party politics, will seek to take over the presidency from the speaker of the Brazilian chamber of deputies, who when Quadros re-, signed was sworn in as interim president. Which is to say, he will try to save tor the communists as much out of the wreckage of Quadros administration as he can. Question: What shall we do about It? Personally, I think we'd heller stand pat on the Monroe Doctrine. ONE communist country in the western Hemisphere is enough. Citizenship Decree Issued By Portugal OPORTO, Portugal (AP) Over seas Minister Adriano Moreira an nounced Monday a decree that every native of Portugal's eight overseas provinces is now a full citizen of Portugal, "without dis tinction of race, religion or cul ture." This decree, to be pushed of ficially soon, is the most sweep ing reform by a Portuguese government since the abolition of slavery in the Portuguese terri tories ol Africa a century ago, It primarily affects Negroes o( tno African provinces including revolt-torn Angola by replacing the native statute under which only natives achieving a certain level of education have had full citizenship rights. This statute never applied, for instance, tn Portuguese India Goa, Damao and Uiu. Moreira made his announcement in a speech at the city hall stock exchange. He said Portugal aims "simply to do our duty" in Africa. New regulations will govern the concession of land in Africa, the minister said. These will extend the legal provisions and guaran tee rcai rignts. He cited the recent abolition of compulsory growing of cotton, of penal sanctions for breach of work contracts, and establishment of minimum wages. Western Powers To Demand Meet BONN, Germany (AP) The Western Powers will demand in the next few, days a conference with the Soviet Union on the Ber lin crisis, llcinrich Von Brent a no, West German Foreign Minister, said today. Brcntano told a news confer ence such talks are needed to make clear the positions of both sides before a catastrophe devel ops. He said the talks should be on the foreign minister level.

AMSDEN - Slightly ridiculous was the U.S. State Department's analysis of the Japanese log- export problem last week. Northwest legislators were told the present export level, and in fact an increased level, will do no harm to the Pacific Northwest or the U.S. tion's global alliances. Certainly it is true that Japan would create a hardship for building in that coun try, which has virtually no timber resource usable for con- EDITOR'S NOTE This editorial appeared recently In the Coos Bay World. It was written by Forest W. Amtden, associ ate publisher and executive editor. Because the matter of log experts is of critical concern to this area, the editorial is re produced in full-CVS struction and has a desperate housing shortage. But the State Department's contention that the frightening raw log export level we have now attained will work no hardship on the U.S. is naive. It is working a hardship all short of logs. The hectic anese representatives has drained much fir and other spe cies from the domestic log to rapid cutting of resources the future. While the big export market in logs has enriched long shoremen's bank accounts beyond their expectations in the past two years, it has and will in the future deplete the accounts of mill workers. Those logs going out do not represent a cent in wages to Southwestern Oregon mill la borers nor a cent in profits for Southwestern Oregon mill investment. Shipments Increasing According to Forest Service figures revealed yester day, the acceleration of log exports has resulted in 75.6 million feet being shipped in the first six months of the year from Oregon and Washington, compared to only 16.3 million board feet during the same period a year ago. The nature of this step up in activity can be seen in the monthly figures for 1961 : shipments rose from 3.5 million feet in January to 22.3 million in shipments awaiting vessels, the rate will increase even Anyone having difficulty along Bayshore and look at tral Dock property. Coos Bay alone saw the (Brereton scale) in the first five months of 1961 to make it the largest single originating port for log exports. It is often said that these exports dar, for which there is not a great U.S. market. But the Coos Bay export figure during these five months, accord ing to Random Lengths lumber newsletter, included 13 million feet of Douglas fir the gon s timber economy and its timber future. There seems little reason to dispute statements that the ratio of Douglas fir would keep a mill which cuts 200,000 feet a day oper ating for approximately the five months in which the ex ports occurred, and a mill cutting 200,000 a day will em ploy, what l about 100 men or more7 Sober Look Needed It is all very fine to sav that a bun or nartial restric tions on the export of logs would hurt the U.S. trade pic ture ana might prove an actual Japan, which the U.S. can ill case, why has Japan recently placed a 10 per cent import duty on U.S. finished lumber?

I'm with your father, Bustl DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are at odds about my attitude to ward the telephone. I say our tele phone is for OUR convenience, not the convenience of others and, therefore, I will answer it WHEN and IF I feel like it. He says I should answer it every time it rings because it might be an emergency. 1 say if it is an emer gency they will call again. .

Or some dance studio is calling to inform James Marhw Khrushchev's More Subtle, Imaginative Than Stalin WASHINGTON (AP) Believe it or not the Soviets while the hy drogen bomb hangs over American-Russian relations like an un dertaker's sign have been less reckless since they developed their bomb than they were with out it. It is one of the freaks of history that the Russians when they had no atomic weapon at all and the United States had a monopoly on it pushed their luck the hardest. Stalin was either wilder than Premier Khrushchev or decided to grab what he could ready to drop it if the adventure got too dangerous in the belief the Unit ed States, for humanitarian rea sons or fear of world opinion, wouldn't use the bomb. Since both powers now have the hydrogen bomb, and so could eliminate each other if war be gan, it makes necessary sense for both lo be a little more care ful about beginning a caper that might begin a war. Even so Khrushchev is more subtle and Imaginative than Stalin anyway. But just because the hydrogen bomb is so broadly fatal it's a neat device for either side to try to bulldoze the other blackmail is a better word into making concessions through fear that not to do so might mean war. This is what Khrushchev is be ing accused of now in scaling off East Berlin and his expressed de termination to break the West's grip on West Berlin. But the way ne a trying to uo it so different from Stalin's sud den and brutal attempt to block ade the entire city in 1948 is a good measure of the difference between the two men, and the in fluential presence of the bomb. It s not their intentions tnat are different. It's their technique. In the first few years after the war. when the United States alone had the atomic bomb, Russia un der Stalin grabbed and held the East European countries, today s satellites. It pressured Iran, Tur key and Greece. President Tru The Cartoonist Words... me that I have just "won" a free lesson. I have trained my husband to call at 12:15.

In 1948, when Russia was near ing completion of its own atomic bomb but still didn't have it, Stalin tried his most daring and dangerous grah up to that time: the Berlin blockade. Truman broke that by mid-1949 with the airlift. Stalin could have tried to smash the airlift by shooting down American planes. But he stopped just short of that since it could have meant war in which the United States might have felt justified in using the -bomb. It was a few months later in that year of the broken blockade on Sept. 23, 1949 that the Rus sians had their first atomic ex plosion. This made the two pow ers more equal but not quite. The, United States already had a big bomb supply and a big bomber fleet. Stalin was just be ginning on his. Still, he was on his way.' Later that year the Red Chinese took over the China mainland. Not long afterwards by mid 1950 the greatest of all postwar Com munist adventures began: the Ko rean War. Stalin guessed wrong again. Truman put troops into Korea to stop the North Korean invasion. But Korea was remote from Rus sia. Stalin could safely bet the United States wouldn't use the bomb on the Koreans. Stalin had nothing to lose. It was during the Korean War Nov. 1, ',952 that the United States exploded its first hydrogen device at Bikini. It wasn't until a few months after Stalin's death Aug. 21, 1953- -that the Russians exploded theirs. Since then his successors have been no less ambitious but much more cautious. They've encour aged Communist guerrilla fight ing in Southeast Asia still a lung way from Russia where the United States wouldn't use the bomb. Says: 'Flatterer!", Soaring Farmer j Ends U. S. Trip AMITYVILLE, N. Y. (AP) Farmer Robert Fisber, 46, of Moses Lake, Wash., claims the first transcontinental soaring trip. His log shows the flight covered 2,813 miles and took 29 flying days. : Fisher landed his glider at Zahn's Airport at North Amityville at 3:50 p.m. Sunday after a 100 mile, three - hour flight from Stroudsburg, O.A. He said he had planned to land on Staten Island, New York City but was nearly a mile high when he reached there. So he continued on to this long Is land area. Fisher, a World War II flight in structor and holder of a commer cial pilot license, began his trip at Auburn, Wash., near Seattle, June 30. He was towed aloft by a Piper Cub plane piloter by David Hen sel, 27, of Eunclaw, Wash., on each of the 29 bops across the country. The hops ranged from as little as 25 miles to a 345-mile glide that carried Fisher over the Rocky Mountains. Fisher and Hensel had a ground crew following in a station wagon and trailer. The ground crew con sisted of Fisher's wife, 42, their two small sons and a nephew. Fisher has said he undertook the cross-country trip because he wanted to promote interest in the sport of gliding. His 750-pound glider was man ufactured by the Schweizer Air craft Corp., of Elmira, N. Y. It has a wing span of 52 feet 8 inches and a fuselage of 20 feet 10 inches. Soviets Get Offer To Talk Test Ban GENEVA (AP) The United States and Britain offered today to negotiate with the Soviet Union a nuclear test ban treaty cover ing even the smallest tactical atomic weapons. U.S. Delegate Arthur H. Dean made the offer on behalf of the two Western powers at the open ing of a critical phase of the deadlocked 34-month-old talks. For the first time since the talks opened Oct. 31, 1958, the West held out a prospect of a total ban on all nuclear tests, including those too small to be policed by known long-range detection meth ods. But as a condition for a total ban, the West demanded a sub stantally stronger international control and inspection system than heretofore proposed. The talks have been stalemated all this year because of an un acceptable Soviet veto demand which in the Western view would paralyze the entire inspection isystem. Judge Says Kennedy's Act Lacked Authority NORFOLK, Va. (AP) U.S. Dis trict Judge Walter E. Hoffman ruled Monday that President Ken nedy as well as the Coast Guard exceeded their authority in pre venting attachment of the Cuban freighter Bahia de Nipe. In an opinion yet unsigned. Hoffman held that the President has "in prohibiting the marshal from performing his duty, exceed ed his power in the present situa tion. . ." The Bahi de Nipe dropped an chor in Chesapeake Bay Aug. 17 and her master and 10 crewmen requested political asylum. The 11 men had seized control of the ship after overpowering and imprison ing 23 other crevmen. The next day a deputy U.S marshal tried to attach the vessel for judgments awarded by a fed' cral court. The Coast Guard, act ing on instructions from Washing- ton, prevented the marshal from auacning uir snip. Volunteers Renew Paint At Church In Days Creek By MRS.

Petitions bearing the names of 1,810 voters in the district have been filed with the state Hydro electric Commission asking that the fire district be given People's Utility District powers. Keith Evans. Salem, attorney for the fire district, said the sig natures represent more than half the registered voters in the dis trict. As a result it is contended that there is no need for an election, since a majority of the voters have signed the petition. To be sure, the commission staff is asking for an -attorney general's opinion on how the law passed during the early 1930s should work. Chris Welier, commission en gineer, said there are several questions. "We are going to try to find out what the procedure is," he said. The law provides: "any exist ing irrigation, drainage or other New Home In When Brakes By EDITH DUNN The new home of Ray McClel lan, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Bob Bonner, was hit by a runaway car recently. The car, owned by Ray Hoover of Alaska, was park ed in front of the James Barker home. The brakes failed, and the car ran down the hill, turned the corner west and continued on for a block before hitting the house. There was damage both to the car and the house foundation. Vegetable Garden Raided Mr. and Mrs. Charles McMahon returned from a recent trip to find that someone had stolen all the vegetables out of their garden, not even an ear of corn being left.

The cake, however, will have only 96 candles. The first state fair opened Sept. 30. 1861. on the Clackamas River near Gladstone. But there have been only 96 of the annual events. Three were canceled in World War II, and 1905 was skipped because of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The first fair drew 1,500 per sons, with SU6 in admissions re ceipts. The next year it moved to Salem, where its 80-acre site was bought for $1,600. Now the ex panded 172-acrc site is worth $3 million. The birthday cake will be 16 feet high and 16 feet square. At the ceremony, there will be square dancers and people who will play roles of those who had prominent parts in fair history. DEAD GIVEAWAY ANDERSON, S. C. (AP) - An derson police gave the standard information on a nirknn call fnr i motorist suspected of drinking too mucn mane, color ana model of automobile. The radio dispatcher added the key: "The car is being driven by a Yankee." A few minutes later a car an swering the description was halt ed.

The petition filed with the com mission asks that the name of the district be changed to the Keizer Fire and People's Utility District. The area involved includes eight square miles with an assessed valuation of $8,002,000 and con tains a population of about 6,000, the petition says. The district adjoins the north city limits of Salem. Because the petitions for the PUD were not processed in time for the general election last year, a vote on the question cannot be held until next November. Sponsors of the latest move to have the fire district acquire PUD powers see the method they are trying now as a speedier way to get the public power service.

Editorial Comment NOT FORMIDABLE Band Bulletin Friends of Sig Unandcr, undoubt edly with the blessing of Sig him self, have been very quietly can vassing a few political leaders in Oregon to see how much support can be drummed up for a Unan-der-Morse fight next year. Republicans want to beat Morse. That's a fact. They're going to have one H of a time doing it, particularly since Hatfield and Appling have declared themselves out of the race. That's another fact. For the first four years of his six-year term Morse is a thorn in everyone's side, a fly in every one's ointment. For that last two years he becomes a statesman. Most voters when they go to the polls remember the last two years much better than they did the preceding four. Unander is the kind of man al most everyone likes to see in pol itics. He's smart, he has a real desire to engage in public service, and he's wealthy. (When Sig was state treasurer one Salem pressroom wag noted there were two piles of money in the vault in the treasurer's office. The larger, he said, was Sig's, the smaller the slate's.) Unander has all these attributes, good ones to have. But, he finds it almost impossible lo project himself successfully to voters. He just doesn't put himself across. No matter how many people tell Sig they'd like to see him in a Senate seat in Washington the same people would like to see Wayne Morse almost anyplace else he'd be well advised to stay out of the race. He couldn't win. Assessors Leave For Coast Meet Leland W. Svarverud Jr., Doug las County assessor, and Allen F.
