Despite the fact an airplane on the hor izon is almost as common as a passing automobile, the sport of sky watching ap parently hasn't lost any of its thrill. The Roseburir Airport Recognition Days and Air Show Saturday and Sun day proved that. Not only did some 4, 000 people turn out at the airport for the two days of aerial show, but scores of others stationed themselves on hills and other vantage points to see the action. H was probably the best air show ever put on since the annual show started sev eral years ago. Cliff Hukari and Bill Williams, two spokesmen for the show, say it has now become the biggest air show in Southern Oregon. The Slate Tax Commission doesn't have a particularly happy task. It has to take money from people who aren't enthusiastic about contributing it. But it has its moments for chuckling ns the result of what it calls its "funny file" provided intentionally or uninten tionally by the taxpayers themselves.

Undismayed, Peter Edson Soviet-China Relationship Changed By Hard Words WASHINGTON - (NEA) -Thoro are a couple of new twists in Russian policy toward China. Careful analysis of the Soviet Com munist Party's Central Committee roply to Chinese Communist nego tiators In Moscow reveals them. But there is no detectable change in the basic policies of the interna tional Communist conspiracy. Conciliatory language which marked previous Russian replies to the Chinese Communists is not found in the 20,000-word Central Committco letter which appeared in Pravda July 15. Moscow now Is making unre strained attacks on the Peking gov- crnmcnt. The expectation is that this will continue. Tho Kremlin also Is expected to begin purging Communist leaders who in the past have argued for caution in dealing with the Chinese to promote unity. The Soviet Central Commltteo says it will wage "implacable struggle against deviationists." . This Is not taken to moan there will be actual war between Russia and Red China. The conflict will be waged on ideological levels. Tho effects of a further split be tween Russia and Red China on relations with the West and with the United States in particular can only bo speculated upon. President Kennedy has just laid down the line that tho U.S. should not talk about something over which it has no control. The new Central Committee statement seems to mako concilia tory gestures to the West. This could be motivated only to refute Red China policy. "Wo sincerely want disarma ment It is not an expedient," says the Central Committee. Then the policy is qualified by the statement that tho Soviet Union will continue to .io organized agitation to whit tle down western demands. In another placo the Central Com mittee statement declares that the Soviet Union will not bo tho first to use nuclear weapons. This is a change from recent Soviet policy, even though the United States has previously proposed a ban on nu clear weapons except in defense of aggression. The Central Committee does not say, however, that the Soviet will not use nuclear weapons against a conventional weapons attack and will not use them in a local war which becomes escalated Into a major war. Chairman Niklta Khrushchev again is quoted as having express ed the party line with the state ment, "There will be liberation wars as long as Imperialism ex ists, so long as colonialism exists . . .Therefore it is only through struggle, including armed strug gle, that the peoples can win free dom." The Central Committee state ment then boasts that the Soviet Union Is now giving the broadest support to the nationalist liberation movements in Vietnam, Kgypl, Iraq, Algeria, Yemen and Cuba, US 5 t.

WHAT IT MEANS King Defends Movement Against New Accusation By AL KUETTNER Unlttd Prtit International Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. cur rently is having a rash of diffi culties defending his non-violent integration movement against ac cusations that it is being infil trated by workers for world com munism. King calls this a smokescreen by "segregationists and racoboit crs" to obscure and dcflact the notional move by Negroes for civ il rights. The latest incident on tins score Involves a rather mysterious fig ure known variously by four names but most often as Jack O'Dcll. Two congressional commit tees have labeled him as part of tho communist setup in the unit ed Slates. He has worked twice for King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) mostly as a money raiser. Following published reports last week that O'Dell still ran tho New York office of SCLC, King summoned reporters to insist that O'Dell had left tho employment of his organization "by mutual consent in juno. This came despite a conflicting acknowledgement the same day from King s New York office that O'Dell still worked there as ad ministrator. King said the dis crepancy obviously was from con fusion and not fact, A spokesman for King later ex plained that O'Dcll had dromied by tho SCLC office on the day of inquiry out was not wonting mere. King credits tho flurry of Com munist charges to two Southern governors Ross Barnctt of Mis sissippi and George Wallaco of ftiHuniiiti who leauuca ociore inc Senato Commcrco Committee against the proposed new civil rights bill. Both held aloft a large newspaper photograph which they identified as a picture of King at tending a meeting at the High lander Folk School In Tennessee. They said this was a place fre quented by Communist sympathi zers. King also defended the school, now defunct because of a revoked charter, saying he had nothing to be ashamed of for be ing there the one time he paid a s'isit. But the problem still chases the nation's number one Negro civil rights chieftain. Currently, Geor gia Attv. tien. Kttgene Cook has "invited" King to tell him all he knows. King has been defending himself and his movement against commu nism since his early days as a leader of the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott, in his book on that episode, "Stride Toward Free dom." he relates how In 1949 he studied the Communist manifesto and the writings of Karl Marx in an effort to "try to understand the appeal of Communism for many people." "I drew certain conclusions which havt) remained with me," King Wrote. "I rplertnrl their ma. TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1963 The Chamber of Commerce and its Secretary Harold Reaume and three pi lots can claim the credit for starting the show to recognize one of the city's ma jor assets, the airport. But the real key to the success of the show is the great base of cooperation in volved to make the annual show. Ideas are useless without a lot of Imple mentation. Hukari says the list of credits for help in the show is almost endless. It ranged all the way from the City Fire Depart ment to pilots who offered their air planes for use in selling rides to passen gers for flights over the city. This, of course, is the kind of cooper ation which makes any community proj ect a success. Without popular support, any program is doomed. he used a trading stamp on the envelope, and it went through the mail promptly. Another apparently had only a four-cent stamp, so he taped a penny to the en velope. And it also came through. Probably the funniest, however, was a return from a Portland woman. It came in a brown paper sack. "Hope this gets through the mail," she said. "After paying you, couldn't afford envelope." Petition Denied For West Coast SEATTLE (UPI) - The Civil Aeronautics Board has denied West Coast Airlines' petition for nonstop service between Mcdford and Oakland, Calif., it was an nounced Monday, The CAB said nonstop service would cut into tho revenues of Pacific Air Lines, which now has that authority. J. Nicholas Bcz, Jr., vice presi dent of West Coast, commented after the decision the Pacific has done little to exploit its service and has generated a very small amount of business. Bcz said West Coast would add two flights between Oregon and California to its present route Aug. 1. tory. Communism, avowedly scc ularistic and materialistic, has no place for God. . .since for the Communist there is no divine gov ernment, no absolute moral or der, .there are no fixed, immuta ble principles. Consequently al most anything force, violence, murdor, lying is a justifiable means to the end. This was ab horrent to me. Constructive ends can never give absolute moral jus tification to destructive means." King still was going strong on the same lino last week as he told newsmen: "The SCLC Is so firmly estab lished as a Christian non-violent movement that, it would be Impos sible to be influenced in any way by the method or philosophy of Communism . . . Communism breeds violent revolution . . . Communism is based on a denial of human freedom which wo could never accept. 9n 2) uud Gone (f3i V Taken from the flits of tho News Rtvltw 40 YEARS AGO July 30, 1923 Old Mon Obesity is about ready to pull stakes and depart, so far as several members of the local Klks Lodge are concerned, for he is unable to combat the strenuous athletic program laid out by the individuals waging the war on heft iness.

FOX United Press International Notes from the foreign news cables: Berlin threats: Despite N i k i t a Khrushchev's warming-up tuctics toward the West, there is speculation that new threats to Berlin's access routes may crop up at a meeting of the puppet East German Par liament this Wednesday (July 31) at which Communist leader Wal ter Ulbricht will speak. The spec ulation ranges from imposition of transit visas on West Germans when they travel to West Berlin or enter East Germany, up to new air traffic regulations which could pose a threat to the three air corridors into the city. Also rumored is the possible incorpo ration of East Berlin formally into East Germany, . ending the Reader Young Reader Defends Organization Beliefs To The Editor: As a teen-age member of the Young Americans For Freedom, I feel compelled to answer some of the charges which have been lev eled at our organization and its beliefs. I think that many people in this area have been misled by liberals who plague us. To show the public just what our creed is I ask your permission to quote the Sharon Statement which is accept ed by all Young Americans For Freedom as their basic beliefs. This statement was adopted at Sharon, Conn., September 9-11, 1000. It the public can read this and then consider it, they will be convinced, 1 think, of the sincer ity and of the soundness of our beliefs. ' In this time of moral and po litical crisis, it is the respon sibility of the youth of America to affirm certain eternal truths. We, as young conservatives, believe: That foremost among the transcendent values is the in dividual's use of his God given free will, whence derives his right to be tree from the restrictions of arbitrary force; Thnt liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom can not long exist without econom ic freedom; That the purposes of govern ment arc to protect these free doms through the preservation of internal order, the provision of national defense, and the ad ministration of justice; That when government ven tures beyond these rightful functions, it accumulates power which tends to diminish order and liberty; That the Constitution of the 1'nlted States is the best ar rangement yet devised for em powering government to fulfill Its proper role, while restrain int it from the concentration and abuse of power; That the genius of tho Con stitutionthe division of pow ers Is summed up in the clause which reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people, in those spheres not specifically delegated to the Federal Government; That the market economy, allocating resources by tho free play of supply and de mand, is the single economic system compatible with the re quirements of personal free dom and constitutional govern ment, and that it is at the same time the most productive supplier of human nerds; That when governfltent inter- four-power status of the city and cutting off the right of Western garrison members to enter East Berlin. Any of these steps would be taken as signifying that the Russians do not plan to extend the new thaw in international re lations to Berlin. Japanese Communists: Japan's Communists are em barrassed by Red China's denun ciation of the Moscow nuclear test-ban agreement. Overall, the agreement is popular in Japan, the only nation ever to experi ence the effects of a nuclear bombing. The Japanese Commu nists, who lean toward the Peking line, went along with Ited China's position on the test ban. This stand was stated first last Friday by Kuo Mo-Jo, vice chairman of Red China's Standing Committee of the National People's Con gress. He told a Peking rally Opinions kct economy, it tends to reduce the moral and physical strength of the nation; that when it takes from one man to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of tho first, the in tegrity of the second, and the moral autonomy of both; That we will be free only so long as the national sovereign ty of the United States is se cure; that history shows pe riods of freedom are rare, and can exist only when free citi zens concertedly defend their rights against all enemies; ' That the forces of interna tional communism are, at pres ent, the greatest single threat to these liberties; . That the United States should stress victory over, rather than coexistence with, this mcnoce; and That American foreign policy must be judged by this criter ion: docs it serve the just in terests of the United States?

Never theless, the Japanese Communist party docs not like being faced with a choice between Moscow and Peking. They get financial support from both sources, and if they line up solidly with either side in the bitter ideological struggle they will suffer. De Gaulle visit: It is still far from official, but French President Charles de Gaulle's aides privately are pin pointing next January as a likely target date for him to make a trip to Washington. He has said it is his turn to go there, but has set no date for the trip. However, the aides expect a round of lower level talks to pave the way first. Then, by January 1964, they hint, things should be ripe for De Gaulle to call on President Ken nedy. Malaysian formation: Despite the blustcrings of Indo nesian President Sukarno,, insid ers look for the British - backed Federation of Malaysia to be formed on schedule Aug. 31. The biggest hurdle to the new nation was cleared in London earlier in July with the settling of financial problems among Malaya, big brother of the federation, and its new partners Singapore, Sara wak and North Borneo. Informed observers do not believe Sukarno would risk the displeasure of the United States by using force to stop the birth of the federation. Vatican shakeup: Several insiders are beginning to expect a reshuffle in the Vati can's administration before the end of the year.

WILSON Unittd Pros International The resignation of Postmaster General J. Edward Day offers President Kennedy another op portunity to Indulge his anxiety for a Negro in the cabinet. Ken nedy's first choice for that cabi net post may have been a Ne gro. During the 1960 presidential campaign, the Republicans play ed politics in stumblebura fashion with the idea of a Negro cabinet member. There was no need for candidate Kennedy to match that maneuver precisely during his presidential campaign. The Dem ocratic platform and his own shrewd plays for Negro votes were ample to offset republican maneuvers. Once elected, however, Presi dent Kennedy had Negro prob lems. He and his platform had promised guaranteed some instant civil rights. It immediate ly became obvious that Uiv entire ir n A i, inaiclativp nrOBram probably would be scuttled if the I new President proposed broad gauge civil righto legislation to the newly elected Congress. The! decision was to put off the issue. ' i Negroes Were Pleased Negroes were pleased by Ken- nln.tinn of Tlr0rnni: fnr well-paid federal jobs.

Here was another evidence of Kennedy's interest and confi dence in Negroes but was it? The question arose; Was the offer to Dawson for real? The Chicago Daily News printed an editorial under the caption: "We Can't Believe It. Daw son's record should keep him out of tne caDinei.

The commission values all util ity property in the state for prop erty tax purposes, although col lection is mode on the county level. The total true cash value of utilities was put at $1,378 billion, compared to the 1962 value of $1,313 billion. Electric companies continue to lead other utilities in both dollar growth and dollar valuation. The $644 million in electric company valuation is 5.5 per cent above last year and makes up 46.7 per cent of the total utility value. Biggest percentage growth was in the pipeline category which re corded a 156.7 per cent gain. The reason was the new Southern Pa cific Pipeline Co. project which runs from Portlanc. to Eugene with large tank farms near Al bany and Eugene. The pipeline value jumped from $3.5 million to $9.2 million. Biggest county increase In the percentage of utility valuation came in Jefferson County where the value was up 37.4 per cent. The addition of $14 million in value as a result of Portland Gen eral Electric's Round Butte Dam was the reason for this spurt. Although true cash value was up, the assessed value of utilities was down in Crook, Gilliam, Mor row, Multnomah, Sherman and Wasco counties. This resulted I from a decrease in tax rotios or Idercd by the State Tax Commis sion.

He said he would name a Negro to head the department. The Republicr ns almost unani mously cried "foul." They were joined by some Democrats from the South. This was a political ploy, these dissenters maintained, to make it impossible for a non Southern member of Congress to vote against setting up the new department lest he be accused of anti - Negro bias; of voting against a Negro in the cabinet. However that may have been, Congress did not authorize the new department. But President Kennedy undoubtedly took a sub stantial political profit among Negro voters. Now comes a vacancy in the Kennedy cabinet, a cabinet job said to have once been offered to and rejected by a Negro. If the President's anxiety for a Negro in the cabinet has been for real all along, here is a can't miss opportunity. Or, maybe, the President will decide to give an other refusal to Chicago's Rep, Dawson. Debt Limit To Be Held WASHINGTON (UPI) Trea sury Secretary Douglas Dillon told Congress Monday that new sparkle in the nation's economy would make it unnecessary to raise the national debt ceiling to a new rec ord high this summer. He said tho "most gratifying ex perience" of finding the economic pulse much more rhythmic in re cent months means the Treasury can get by if Congress will just continue the present debt limit of $309 billion through November. This was expected to avert an other wrangle for the time being at least inasmuch as simple ex tension of the existing limit for three months past its Aug. 31 ex piration date is not likely to stir up much fuss. Dillon and budget director Ker mit Gordon, appearing before the House Ways & Means Committee, made clear, however, that they would be back in the fall to re quest for another record hike. They declined to predict how high a ceiling they felt would be needed. When Dillon viewed the econo mic improvements, which put the Treasure into a better cash con dtion as heartening, it was some what embarrassing for him to tell Congress about it. He had forecast only a few months ago that a boost in the debt limit to $320 billion would be needed before the summer was over. Economizers Republicans and some Democrats viewed the revised computations a proof that treasury estimates were not reli able. Neither Dillon nor Gordon would give any revisqd estimates of the budget deficit for the cur rent fiscal year. The deficit figure has not been changed officially since January when the President estimated it at a record $11.9 bil lion. Gordon said, however, that the budget revisions submitted piece meal to Congress since January would, if approved without change, add about $100 million to Kennedy's proposed record budg et of $98.8 billion.. He said that budget cuts pro posed by the administration in foreign aid and other programs would cut spending estimates by about $200 million. This would be offset, however, by new spending proposals in the President's civil rights message which would boost spending by $300 million. In addition to asking for new and stronger antidiscrimina tion laws, the civil rights pack age calls for expansion of man power training, youth em ployment, vocational educa tion and other programs.
