PCUNDHD J65I u vwu - lC2nd TEAB 0FCP 93QEDQ8 UtD 1 IDS At the reopening of the Gener al Assembly of United Nations Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, the new head of the U. S. dele gation seized the initiative with an address which charged the So viet Union with instigating the Korean war and keeping it going. He laid down ten facts to sus tain his charge. In summary they were that Russia planned the North Korean aggression and sup ' ported it with Soviet training and equipment, including artillery, tanks, anti-aircraft guns, automa tic weapons and aircraft. Apparently Russia's Vishinsky was surprised at the promtness of the U. S. presentation, on the sec ond day of the resumed session and the first of its political com mittee. He reserved the right of reply to the "slander and may be expected to rejoin with his char acteristic vitrioL He probably will not deny the charges but merely toss them off as vile slander and then repeat his familiar accusa tions of germ warfare and "mur der! of prisoners of war in UN camps. . ' ' It was time for such a baring of the facts. At the previous session In late 1952 there was hope that the Assembly might by a show of unanimity and the making of reasonable overtures Induce the Communists to agree on terms of a settlement such as were offered by Mennon of India. Instead the Russians sharply rejected this resolution and upbraided its sup porters. Efforts for a settlement on reasonable terms thus came to a dead end. Since well-intentioned gestures were rebuffed it was quite in order to reveal Russia not only- as a warmonger but a war maker, (Continued on Editorial Page 4.)

Reserve Enlistments Cut Sharply WASHINGTON (A The Navy. confronted with a situation in which its reserve is filling up with draft-age, Inexperienced men, has clamped a restriction on taking in more such reservists at this time. Officials said Thursday, in an swer to questions, that last month the Navy was able to enlist only about .25 -per cent of the applV cants for . regular Navy service. This was because the law com pels the Navy to put a reservist on active duty when he applies hand if a billet exists for him. In effect, this means that a draft-age man, without previous military service, who has joined the reserves can demand active duty and thus prevent the Navy from signing on a regular enlistee for a full, four-year tour. v An enlisted reservist, who Is not a veteranr la lliffihlft for releasa upon completing 24 months -of ac tive duty subsequent to start of the Korean War or upon comple tion of normal - enlistment" plus nine months, whichever occurs first. rv , vr " Grandmother of 79 Dies at W.

Indian Dances Best of Show At Chemawa By CHARLES IRELAND Valley Editor, The Statesman You've got to hand it to the Navajos. They can make rugs, then can sell them and they can cut a mean rug, too. It was Navajo dancing that brought the biggest applause Thursday night at the program that marked the 73rd anniver sary of Chemawa Indian School, four miles north of Salem. Tonight at 7:30 they're going to repeat the. program for the pub lic at tha school gymnasium. The doors will open at. 7. and tae 1,000 seats are all free. Tom-Toms Set Tempo Students and employes of the big federal school comprised the audience Thursday night as rep resentatives of some 50 tribes at the school danced,, sang and whooped through a 80-minute program. The hollow beat of tom-toms set a stirring tempo, and the gay regalia of Northwest Indians blended with the more subdued costumes of the Navajos to form profusion of color. The Northwest tribes presented eight dances, Including the Ar row Dance that sees an Indian maiden carry out a death pact with her fallen lover. It waa ef fectively portrayed by Augustine Phillips. . ; Perform Three Dances The Navajos, who . now make up nearly half of the Chemawa student body, performed three dances mduding the Hoop and the Yei-be-chai.

FOX Associated Press Writer Legislative districting of Mult nomah, Marion' and Lane counties, and a salary increase for state police won approval handily in the Oregon Senate Thursday. The districting proposal, which now goes to the House, provides that senators and representatives from counties or districts electing more than one person shall run by numbered positions. Marion County would elect two representatives from Salem and two. from the sural area. Lane county would have two from Eugene and three from the rest of the county, Multnomah County would have 16 representatives instead of 13. There would be four districts in Portland, and one for the rest of the county. Portland would have 13 representatives, with the other three from the east end of the county. Out of Districts Since the construction makes it Impossible to impore a residence requirement, candidates would not have to live in the new districts to be eligible for election. Only two votes were cast against the state -police pay . raise bill. which goes to the governor for sig nature. The increase is 11 per cent. - Sen. John C T. MerriCeld. Port land, member of the ways and means committee, opposed the bill, faying it would set a pattern for raising all state employes. .

Ho. 857 Treaty "" junjong Doubted WASHINGTON UFi Secretary of State Dulles predicted Thursday that "Soviet despotism" eventual ly will fall asunder, with the United States taking the lead in fostering a "longing for freedom" among the captive peoples behind the Iron Curtain. As for the new administration's attitude toward Moscow, Dulles charted a policy of dealing with Russia "on a barter basis, where we get what we bargain for on the barrel head." "I do not have any great faith," he said dryly, "in the word of the present rulers of Soviet Russia." Meet Still Conjee tare . Dulles also commented that talk of a possible meeting between President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Stalin is "entirely in the realm of conjecture." "Nothing whatsoever has been set up." he told the House Foreien Affairs Committee. Testifying under the glare of tele vision floodlights, Dulles appealed to Congress to rally solidly behind the administration's proposed res olution to denounce Moscow's en slavement of hapless nations in Europe and Asia. "It would be better not to act at all unless we act with virtual unanimity," he said. "A close vote (on the resolution) would be worse than useless." Head Off Mere By implication. Dulles soueht to head off any Republican move to rewrite the resolution to repudiate secret agreements with Russia negotiated by past Democratic ad ministrations under Franklin D. Roosevelt or Harry S. Truman. Some GOP legislators have crit icized the resolution on the ground that it does not strike out at such controversial pacts as the World War II agreements at Yalta and Tehran and the post-war Potsdam treaty. The resolution confines Itself to assailing Russia for perverting the pacts to enslave free peoples. Taft'a Proposal Sen. Taft of Ohio, the Republican floor leader in the Senate, told newsmen he thought the Senate would spell out language in the resolution making it clear that Congress never approved the Yalta - Tehran - Potsdam pacts. Such language, however, would not repudiate the pacts. Dulles strongly urged Congress. in considering the resolution, to "avoid controversy" over the question of whether past agree ments between the United States and Russia should have been made. He said the resolution was draft ed with "a great deal of thought" and that Eisenhower personally helped draft it and had gone over it very carefully-.' " "I am authorized by him to state that it meets fully with his approval," Dulles said. Jury to Get Jelke Case NEW YORK m MInot (Mick ey) Jelke'a cafe society vice trial ended Thursday, with the defense hinting broadly that he was framed by a politically ambitious prosecutor. "The gall, the nerve, to stand up here and accuse me of fram ing," roared Assistant District At torney Atnhony J. Leibler In de nial. SUNSHINE TO CONTINUE J Another sunlit day in Salem Thursday was accompanied by a low temperature of 27 degrees and a high of 08 degrees. Prediction for today and tomorrow by U. S. weathermen was for similar con ditions.' . Freedom From Life Sentence Ruled for Oregon Prisoner Freedom from a life sentence in Oregon State Penitentiary was in the offing today for Martin Cas well Broom, upon . an opinion by Circuit Judge Rex Kimmell of Marion County. f. ; x In a habeas corpus proceeding for Broom, sentenced 10 years ago in Polk County, Kimmell declared that he was not subject to the ha bitual criminal act as applied. . ' - He added that Broom had more than served the 10-year sentence issued for his last felony convic tion and so is "now being deprived of his liberty without due process of law." A writ of habeas corpus will be issued. , v Kimmell pointed out that there is no such criminal offense in this state as being an habitual crim inal. Rather, the statute of 1927 allows lengthened sentence for second and third felony convic tions and life terms for fourth con victions. These - would, however. be in place of the normal sentence for such, a crime, not on top of it.

Work Oat Changes They also instructed a tempor ary commission to work out details of French - proposed clarifying changes which could be reconciled with the German opposition. This .apparently meant that France's' desire for supplementary clauses permitting here to pull troops out of EDC for overseas service without losing voting pow er in EDC would not be permitted to delay the drive for ratification of the treaty as now - drawn. Various spokesmen described the sessions here as satisfactory and rordiaL but apparently there was less optimism in France and Germany over ultimate results of the compromises reached here The French press was cool. The independent Combat said Bidault had had to "retreat" and warned that his proposed amendments were in serious danger of being buried. It expressed dislike of Ger- fication existed. Reserve dptimism In Bonn, German government man rearmament and doubt that a parliamentary majority for rati- sources said their optimism was reserved and all depended on how far the French would go in soften ing their supplementary proposals; German Socialists, who oppose 're armament, said Rome had pro vided no solution of difficulties, only a postponement. French Premier Rene Meyer. In an effort to win strength in his Parliament, also has announced that a French-German understand ing on the Saar was a pre-condition to ratification of the EDC Treaty. The Saar cast its lot with Ger many in a plebiscite after World War 1. Under French occupation since World War II, It has been given political autonomy and has signed off special economic rights to France. ' France wants its coal and steel production to help balance West Germany's economic might. Adlai Praises Standby lite LOS ANGELES Cfl Adlai E. Stevenson said Thursday night President Eisenhower has "repud iated the Republican campaign mythology about dark and sinister agreements at Yalta, Tehran and Potsdam." He said this was heartening and was one of several occasions re cently on which "the President, under the sobering responsibility of authority, has shown that he respects the public weal more than ebullient campaign oratory." .Another occasion, he said, was when Eisenhower "properly re buked" Republicans in Congress for haste in trying to cut taxes before deciding where, when and if expenses can be cut. He said Democrats on this occasion sup ported the President with "respon sible realism." " - Solo Climber Dies . On Mountain Peak BUENOS AIRES, Argentina UV Richard N.

May 8, 1931, of burglary not In a dwelling on Oct 3, 1938, and of statutory rape on Oct. 29, 1942. For the latter he was senten ced to 10 years in the prison. Then on Jan. 11, 1943, he was sentenced to life Imprisonment because of four- previous felony convictions, rather than tar a specific crime. The 10-year term waa never vacated.:.-- r y- ' 1 ;r Kimmell further held that Broom was not subject to a life term for four, offenses, because tha perjury (second offense) was committed prior to the first conviction, while the statute considers only those of fense committed after the person has once been convicted. . Thus, the rape conviction was only Broom's third within the scope of the habitual criminal act and should subject him to a sen tence cot more than double the normal for the crime, or 20 years rather than life.
