The agency said there was no basis for reports by certain West German newspapers that a state of emergency curfew had been proclaimed in Poland. Within the last few 'months no sensational changes have taken i place in Poland, the communique said. Informants saidthat condi tions hve been calm, that no un usual measures have been taken and none are foreseen. The West Berlin paper Telegraf said Saturday night that martial law had been declared in the Si lesian industrial area of Poland and in Warsaw and Crakow. The report said that alarmed by spreading riots the Russians had rushed armored troops to the Polish border and that Polish par tisans had blown up 17 tanks. Similar reports have been re ceived from East German refu gees. These reports were never confirmed officially by Western, Allied or West German authorities.

Bamford II, Lake Grove. Ore., was credited with sav ing the lives of five other Ameri cans on patrol with him recently and recommended for a high mili tary award. Assigned to locate the enemy on a strategic hill on the Eastern Front. Bamford led his 'patrol to the Red sin trench. Red machine ! guns opened fire, and hand gren ades bounced at the patrol. One renade ripped Bamford's hand. The young lieutenant rushed at the machine gun, hurling hand grenades. One scored a direct hit. knocking out the gun and killing its crew. Bamford. with two other men, moved through the trench. They kPIed seven more Reds with gren ades.! Bamford stopped advancing only when his company commander, fearing the patrol would be cut off, ordered him to stop. - He is a member of Company K, 223rd Infantry "Regiment. Oregon, Monday, Wt 1953 Session , Army corps. There was no official indication of any connection between the U.S.; Eighth Army commander's mili tary huddle and the conference at Rhee's mansion. i However, there has been consid erable speculation about what the: ROK Army would do if the U.N.' Command signs ah armistice with the Communists without Rhee's ap proval. He has threatened to fight on alone, and try to drive north ward to the Yalu to unify his divid--ed nation. Red Radio Basy Before Monday's session between Rhee and Walter S. Robertson, as sistant secretary of state for Far Eastern affairs. Red China's offi cial radio appeared busy trying to widen the differences between, South Korea and the U.N. Com mand. The broadcast prompted speculation-in Seoul that the Reds were hinting they might sign a truce with the U.N. Command regardless of Rhee's objections. . ( An expected meeting between the two Sunday failed to take place. Instead, Rhee told Associated Press Correspondent Bill Shinn he did not know whether the deadlocked talks with President Eisenhower's emis sary would succeed. Opposes Agreement "I am trying to dear up misun-. derstandings," said the president. He has adamantly opposed a truce agreement which would end the fighting with Korea still divided. Meanwhile, Peiping Radio for possibly the first time in three years of Korean warfare had al most kind words to say about the United States. The broadcast Sunday night heaped scorn on Rhee and spoke of "the spirit of independence and democracy of the American peo pie." Reverses Tread These were strange words from Peiping which usually calls Amer icans "war mongers" or worse. Omitted from the Peiping broad cast was its usual acid charge that the U, N. and the U. S. especially "connived" with Rhee in the mid June mass escape of 27,000 anti Red North Korean war prisoners' B.ut Monday the Red station re turned to its customary slighting reference to American practices and purposes. Quoting a Commu nist Chinese newsman at Kaesong. the North Korean headquarters of Red truce negotiators, the radio said: "Observers point out here that if ln American government really wants an armistice in Korea it must take all measures' to deal with and prevent the criminal actions of the Rhee clique to undermine the powef agreement and obstruct the armistice." The Kaesong dispatch said that "it is clear that anyone who sup ports Syngman Rhee is world pub lic enemy No. 1." ; Shell Powder Blast Shakes Chicago Area ! CHICAGO UP Post Fourth of July fireworks rocked Chicago's northwest side Sunday night when a store of 120 . mm. shell powder charge blew up at an Army anti aircraft installation. No injuries were reported im mediately but more than 3.000 per- mm a a .trtuatal flAm iki "neighborhood by midnight. A fire at the installation was quickly brought under control and a Fifth Army headquarters spokesman said he doubted if it would spread. Nevertheless, Chicago police be gan an evacuation of residents in a half-mile square area near the installation. Capt. Clark Martin, duty offi cer of the 22nd Anti-Aircraft Group, said a sentry reported that a light ning bolt which hit a. revetment started the fire and explosion. Periodic explosions of the high explosive shells rocked the neigh borhood and pelted the area with chunks of shell casings. Brilliant orange flashes of the exploding shells and the glare of ,h. hlirninir huMnt lichtPd th the burning building lighted the sky for miles. TAFT IN GOOD CONDITION NEW YORK Lfi Sen. Robert A.

By ROBERT GIBSON SEOUL GB A driving rain turned the Korean front into a quagmire Sunday. Ground action dwindled and Allied soldiers ought to keep their water-logged bunkers from caving in. , The heaviest fighting was report ed south of Virginia Hill on the Eastern Front where two Commu nist companies about 300 men assaulted South Korean Seventh Division! troops before dawn. 1 The Korean defenders killed or wounded 100 Chinese, the Eighth Army reported, in beating off the attack despite a Communist artil lery barrage of some 4,000 rounds.

I A battalion at full strength has 800 to 1.000 men. The Taylor esti-1 mate indicated that about half the Chinese soldiers who stormed Al lied lines were killed or wounded.

Is this the meaning of the Ber lin and Czech riots, or reported martial law in West Poland, or re ported clashes in Romania? Western diplomats in Vienna said Sunday they do not believe so despite the impression left in the West by weekend govern ment shakeups and reported dis turbances behind the Iron Cur tain. They believe the Kremlin 'and its puppet leaders in the satellite countries have the restlessness of 70 -million East Europeans under control, To meet that discontent, the Communist regimes are reacting both with force and with con- cessions. Force has Been used jn Berlin and Czechoslovakia. "kindness" has been used in Hungary and Romania. And throughout the entire area a fundamental change of Com munist tactics in dealing with the subjugated East European peo ples appears in the making. The Western diplomats say the reports of disturbances are. of immense significance, but they cautioned that they "must not be over-rated." They said they are merely sig nals that the Kremlin's past pol icy of treating East Europeans as slaves has been wrong, and that the Kremlin knows it and is changing it The diplomats say they believe the new Communist gestures to the dissatisfied workers of East Europe probably can be tied to East Berlin and Czechoslovak out breaks. Fear that these disturb ances would spread probably speeded them up. They say developments in East Europe urobably can be tied to the Kremlin. They say they need a period of quiet and peace to strengthen their position. Charles Adams -a ollCCllITlfaS At Roseburg Charles I.

Fire Continues In Area Near Los Angeles LOS ANGELES CP A three day fire burned on Sunday night in the rugged San Gabriel Moun tains despite the efforts of nearly 1,000 fire-fighting experts. More than 40,000 acres and 5 per cent of the timber in Los Angeles Na tional Forest have been burned,! foresters estimated. A drop in wind velocity and rise' in humidity after dark slowed the spread of the blaze somewhat, but foresters held little chance of con trolling it before Wednesday. Eight dwellings have been de stroyed. Sunday the flames, being fought by nearly 1,000 men, broke out anew at three points Cooper Canyon, near Buckhorn Camp and along Santiago Canyon. No dwell ings were under immediate threat at the "hot spots," but the break outs threatened new areas of wa tershed. The blaze Sunday jumped the Angeles Crest Highway, main ar tery linking Los Angeles with Palmdale and the Antelope Val ley. The fire, worst in the area In 11 years, has been steadily ex panding northeast and northwest as it burns down the eastern slope of the San Gabriels, aided by 90-degree weather, low humidi ty and gusty winds from the des ert. Slaughter of Beef Cattle Thins Herds WASHINGTON OP The Bureau of Agricultural Economics report ed Sunday that a record slaughter of beef cattle since February s halting an expansion in production of this kind of meat animal. Sharply lower prices for some classes of beef cattle coupled with a severe drought in the Southwest were said to be factors contribut ing to the heavy slaughter. The agency said this offered pro mise that cattle prices will show more stability in the next few years than previously seemed likely, pro vided, of course, consumer incomes stay high. Between 37 and 40 per cent more cattle were slaughtered by commer- j cial firms in April-June this year than in the same period last year. As a consequence, beef con sumption has been lifted far above last year and may. for the year as a whole, exceed the record aver age of 73 pounds for each con sumer set in 1909. The bureau said it is normal for declines to retail to lag behind de clines in cattle prices.

ROBERT SMITH Statesman Cerreapopdent ' WASHINGTON The full force of federal protection against new livestock diseases which currently threaten flocks and herds In Oregon will swing into action if Congress enacts an Administration sponsored bill before adjournment ' J f The Senate on Monday is scheduled to take up the measure, which adds scrapie and blue tongue and other unspecified livestock maladies to the list of those which can aid states in helping prevent.! These two livestock diseases, plus leptspirosis ana vesicular exan thema were the four new animal diseases which the Oregon state agriculture department warned the state's farmers against this past week. California Source California has been the scene of outbreaks of both blue tongue and scrapie. All four 'maladies are incurable. Presently, USDA can't take any action until outbreaks reach se rious proportions which threaten the nation's livestock industry, when the secretary is empowered to declare an emergency. Such a situation developed in California over scrapie last October, "result ing in the slaughter of 900 sheep. The state and federal government shared alike in indemnifying far mers $30,000 for their lost ani mals. , USDA Could Help Congressional enactment of the disease bill would permit USDA to offer its Cooperation to states at any time in eradication and controL fi'ig problem is insuffi cient knowledge needed effective ly to combat the diseases. Blue tongue is thought to be transmitted from infected sheep to others by a midge or culicoid es, which does its work only in the summer months.' Researchers in South Africa have proved that these biting-gnats are carriers. A spokesman for the Bureau of Animal Industry of the depart ment said his agency hoped to try vaccination of sheep to pro tect them in areas where blue tongue-infected sheep are believ ed to be. Two Methods Used Quarantine and destruction are the only methods being used to combat spread of scrapie. Under the new bill, the secretary could indemnify farmers for lost sheep or cattle killed to block the spread. Leptospirosis, likewise, has no cure as yet It would be handled under the authorization being sought in Congress. A separate program is already underway for fighting vesicular exanthema. ws Imnortant' 2 Profit Telephone: 2-4139 Spinach, $1.84 per dozen. 0, HALF OR WHOLE POUND 1325 So. to Allow I t11ll Irsll rlllC "t-rA flAXJ.JVJ.l.
