I I7T0 mm FOUNDBD 1651 tn7i : n TnY i 103 YEAR WW By DAN De LUCE BERLIN UH A go-getter West era mayor cut red Upe and fed thousands of hungry East Germans Tuesday in a heart-warming dem onstration ; of practical food relief on Berlin's Iron Curtain border. Communist propagandists let out a roar of rage at the act. The So viet Zone news agency ADN de nounced it as "an American prop aganda trick." While the United States and the Iknn republic were still discussing ways and means of getting IS mil lion dollars of free American food to the stricken Soviet Zone, Willy Kressmann went into action Tues day morning. As mayor of the American sec tor borough of Kreuzberg, he op ened a relief market at 9 a.m. in Oranienplatz facing the police guarded frontier of Soviet East Berlin. By collecting private donations and drawing on borough charitable funds, he stocked the market with milk and fruits for sale to East Germans at less than fifth their normal price. Five thousand East Germans swarmed past the Communist po- Otr SS3DDQB 00)000 cwrtarv of Agriculture Ben son issued a finding that under the law it would be necessary to curtail the acreage in wheat for 1954. The cutback required under the law would have brought the maximum to 55 million acres; but the Senate and House have agreed to a higher base, or 62 million acres. Once again the politicians have triumphed over the economist- . . What is admitted now is that a cutback should have been ordered in 1952 and possibly in 1951. Sec retary Brannan didn't do this, and so the surplus of wheat kept mounting. Meantime our export market shrank as foreign coun tries increased their own produc tion. What is true of wheat is true of a good many other farm crops. As of April 30th last the Commodity Credit Corporation had invested in farm and dairy products in storage and in loans on crops $3,135,600,000 as compar ed with $1,609,200,000 the year previous The trouble with the price sup port program is that it is to a large degree self-defeating. When it maintains prices at levels high er than the going market, it cur tails exports and diminishes dom estic consumption. As Hershel D. Newsom, Master of the National Grange, remarked, "we are pric ing ourselves out of the world market" As long as the govern ment guarantees a profitable price farmers will produce because they thus are freed of the hazards of the market. In July, 1952 Secre tary Brannan urged a cutback ot (Continued on editorial page, 4.)

The East Germans' depreciated currency was accepted at par with the West mark at Oranienplatz. In regular exhange, the rate is 5.8 to 1.

By 11 a.m. (9 pjn. EST) Tuesday it was apparent at U. S. Eighth Army headquarters that the Communist drive on the 20-mile sector had stalled at least for the moment Drought Relief Bill Signed WASHINGTON OR President Eisenhower Tuesday signed a multi-million-dollar emergency relief bit to aid farmers and ranchers in the drought-stricken Southwest. Simultaneously, Secretary of Ag riculture Benson appealed to the nation's railroads to cut freight rates approximately 50 per cent on livestock sent from drought areas for temporary grazing elsewhere, if they are later returned. Lost Angler Found, Sells Fishing Gear GRANTS PASS (P)-Charles R Snively of Grants Pass, lost 28 hours southwest of here while on a fishing trip, was found Mon day night and he promptly sold his fishing gear to Lew Krauss, one of the men in the rescue party. "I'm never going fishing again" said the rescued fisherman. School Board Okehs Purchase Of Land Next to Auburn School Salem School Board Tuesday night authorized purchase of land adjacent to Auburn School, east Salem, with future expansion in mind. Prices accepted were $1,500 for a 188 by 241 foot property and $800 for a 108 by 188 foot area south and east of the present school Much nf the board meeting in the school office building last night centered in an appeal irom canners and growers to delay opening of school so more seas onal workers would be available in September. No decision was uhM hut the board aereed to tackle the problem again July 28. (Additional aeiaus on page 4, Section 2). The board approved the ap pointment of George Birrell. vet eran science teacher, as head of the Salem High School science department for the coming year. He succeeds Miss June Philpott, who retired this year. The board purchased a new 66 passenger school bus and a one ton package delivery truck from Capitol Tractor and Equipment Co. (International) and a 14 -ton stake body truck from Truck Sales & "Service Co. (GMC), on the basis of recently opened bids of East meanwhile, took up with West Ger man Vice Chancellor Franz Bleu cher its proposal to issue five-mark food coupons monthly to East Ger mans,, redeemable at numerous food distribution centers to be set up along the Iron Curtain, like Or anienplatz. U.S. officials said every effort was being made to work out meth ods of shipping American gift food into East Germany despite Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Mbl otov's bitter refusal to accept it. J Kressmann's "neighborhood help" ! had been intended merely for East Fire Cuts Off Phonfc Service Two inches of steady rain Tues day and Tuesday night, a sturdy defense by four Republic of Korea (ROK) divisions and a curtain of Allied artillery fire had up to that time prevented a break-through in the Reds' biggest attack since May, 1951. AP Correspondent Forrest Ed wards reported from the front that the Chinese apparently did not press their attack during the night. The U. S. Fifth Air Force said 38 B-26 twin-engined bombers blast ed the Communist attackers dur ing the night with 190,000 pounds of explosives. More Allied war planes took off for the battle rone Wednesday but the heavy rains sharply curtailed air support of frontline troops. The Chinese had poured fresh troops from eight divisions more than 80,000 men into the big drive Monday and Tuesday. "This is the greatest achieve ment of the ROK army and justi fies the great effort and great faith it took to create it," one high ranking Allied officer said. "The four ROK divisions, with only partial help from American artillery and supply units, fought one of the great defensive battles and at noon today it looks as if they had won it, he added. and a committee's recommenda tion. , Net prices were $3,060 on the delivery truck. $2,049 on the other truck. Both were low bids. For the bus the board decided on an International with a Super ior (Pioneer model) body, extra large engine. Most bids - were placed on 60-passenger buses, but the board thought the larger, heavy-duty model offered was the better buy at $8,775 less a $200 trade-in credit on an old truck. Contract for recapping 50 tires was awarded to low bidder Walt er Zosel, Salem, and contract for 27 teachers conference-type desks was awarded J. K. Gill Co., Portland at $50.95 each when it was found that price was lower than one tentatively accepted earlier from Educators Furniture Co. Two minor boundary changes Tuesday night put the lower Hansen Avenue sector back in McXinley School district and put a new housing development north of Stortz Avenue in North Salem into the Washington. School dis trict (instead of Hayesville). Board members decided to ask the city's permission to substitute ornamental trees for 10 larger walnuts on the parking at Ferry and 13th Streets where a new Public School Administration Building will be built. Wednesday. July 15, 1953 Germans Germans living in the vicinity of his borough. But they came, too, from distant suburbs of East Ber lin and from the surrounding So viet Zone. Nobody with an East German identity card was turned 'away. When the first supplies ran out, the mayor hustled up more. : The trek of hungry East Ger tmans made a mockery of Commu ! nist claims, that state chain stores were again bulging with supplies. ADN tried to parry the psycholo i gical blow by charging that most of the visitors to Oranienplatz were "jobless West Berliner s. Draped Woman Favored as Vet Memorial A recommendation for a bas re lief to be carved in marble on the west facade of the new Marion County Courthouse will be made today by the Marion County Courthouse Veteran's Memorial Committee. The . committee, composed of members of the Salem Federation of Patriotic Orders, will recom mend to the County Courthouse Commission the carving of a draped, semi-kneeling woman in an attitude of sorrow and dignity. The carving is to be eight feet high and approximately six feet wide. The carving and inscription, a tribute to the memory of those who gave their lives for this coun try in war, is planned to cover the full face of the walL An appropriate inscription will be decided upon by a com mittee chosen Tuesday evening. Selected were Marion County Cir cuit Judges Joseph Felton and Rex Kimmell and Mrs. George Pro. Frederic Littman, Portland, is to do the work. Littman also did reliefs for the Salem Branch of the First National Bank and Collins Hall at Willamette Univer sity. House Passes Measure, Will Read It Later WASHINGTON m The House unanimously: passed a bill Tuesday and decided to wait until Wednes day to find rout what it provides. Chairman Reed (R NY) of the Ways and Means Committee asked St the close of the session that the bill (he gave its number) be passed by unanimous consent. Nobody ob jected, so Speaker Martin declared the bill passed and it headed for the Senate. Reed, whose committee approved the measure, then asked for per mission to put an explanation of the bill in the Congressional Rec ord, which comes out Wednesday morning. Nobody objected to that, either. : Newsmen,! whose bosses think today's news should be written to day, discovered that the bill would permit the duty-free importation of foreign articles for display at the Washington i State International Trade Fair to be held next Febru ary in Seattle.

(JF Farmer Jack Hayden needs the answer to a $300 question which of his cows ate the greens .without chlorophyll? Hayden's wallet slipped out of his pocket as he fed the cows Tuesday. When he found it an hour later in the big man ger, 15 crisp green 20s were missing. A $700 check for the sale of some pigs was still in it, though. The cow apparently considered it indigestible as well as non negotiable. Hayden would slaughter the culprit to get his money back but which one? McCarthy Fails In Attempt to Query Bundy WASHINGTON OP Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) failed at least temporarily Tuesday to prevail upon the Eisenhower administra tion to let him question William P. Bundy. official of the super secret Central Intelligence Agency. After a conference with Allen Dulles, head of the intelligence unit, he announced his Senate sub committee would turn over to CIA all information it has on Bundy. Then, McCarthy said, the CIA "will reevaluate Mr. Bundy's se curity status under President Ei senhower's new security order." Meantime, he said, his aides and those of Dulles would confer "with a view to working out a formula whereby the committee could carry out its proper investigative func tions in protecting the security of the United States, without impair ing in any way the security of the intelligence agency." McCarthy has charged that Bun dy, a son-in-law of former Secre tary of State Acheson,. gave $400 to the defense fund of Alger Hiss. McCarthy declared the Senate sub committee wanted to question Bun dy but was blocked because Dul les had directed lesser CIA offi cials not to testify before congres sional committees. McCarthy ac cused Dulles, brother of Secretary of State Dulles, of a "most blatant attempt to thwart the authority of the Senate." The CIA has taken the position that if CIA officials are question ed in public about their work, the the CIA's far-flung intelligence ac tivities may be impaired. Vessel Sinks After Collision, No Lives Lost SAN FRANCISCO LB Two big freighters slashed into each other 18 miles off the Golden Gate Tues day, sending the heavily laden Ja cob Luckenbach to the bottom in 200 feet of water. The Hawaiian Pilot, damaged at the bow, picked up the 49 crew members i of the Luckenbach and made harbor safely under its own power. The collision occurred in the dim pre-dawn in one of the worst coast al fogs of the season. Those who watched the Hawaiian Pilot come through the Golden Gate under the watchful eyes of a Coast Guard escort marveled that she remained afloat, with the huge gap ing hole in her prow. The Jacob Luckenbach was out bound for Pusan and Yokohama, under charter to Pacific Far East Lines. The Hawaiian Pilot, owned by Matson Navigation Co., with nine passengers and 50 crew, was in bound from Hawaii, heavy with a bulk sugar, molasses and pineap ple cargo. Murder Grew Out of Guardian's Rejection of Car MARYSVILLE, Calif. Wl It was refusal of his guardian to help him buy an automobile that prompted him to kill the guardian at Parkdale, Ore., last week, Don ald Imlah, 18, told police Tuesday. 1 The guardian, Bruce Houck, 32, was. found shot to death on his Parkdale ranch. Imlah, paroled to Houck from McLaren School for boys, was arrested here. j Sheriff John Dower, awaiting the i late Tuesday arrival of Sheriff! R. L. Gillmouthe from Hood River, said Imlah explained he had been well treated by Houck but he killed him because Houck had twice hesitated about helping him buy a car. 'Mystery House' Owner Loses Suit LOS ANGELES Superior Court Tuesday denied a damage and injunction suit brought by John Lititer, operator of the "Mystery House" near Gold Hill, Ore., against owners of "Confusion Hill." near Garberville. Calif. The judge ruled that Litster's "Mystery House" was not subject to copyrisht, being a "natural accident" caused when an old mining shack slid down a hill all out of plumb. This created an illusion of objects falling up instead of down. Warden Says New Cellblock Outdated Prison news was once again important Tuesday when Warden Clarence Gladden made his report to the Board of Control and ad vised them that the newest cellblock, itwo years old and costing $1,500,000, is 30 years out of date; ! Even while the warden made his report to Gov. Paul Patterson, Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry and; State Treasurer Sig Unan- der, the J.25 key troublemakers in the recent four-day revolt were being segregated from their fellow-prisoners. They are in an im provised segregation section of the cell block over which extra guards have been posted. Twenty-one of the ringleaders have been put in an isolation section of the prison Planning Criticized In his report to the board. War den Gladden cited improper plan ning as the reason for the cell block's outmoded design. Gladden said there is a need for moderni zation in the maximum and me dium security buildings now un der construction which, he said, lack a clothes control room, cen tral bath and barber shop. The board authorized the em ployment of J. D. Annand of the architecturak firm of Annand, Boone and Lei, Portland, to con duct an inspection of the entire prison plant and recommends any changes. Annand's firm recently was selected to prepare plans for the new intermediate penal insti tution approved by the 1953 Leg islature, i As for Oil Fuel Gladden also recommended elimination of the hog fuel stock pile and substitution of oil for heating the prison plant. He said the hog fuel stockpile had been the direct cause of several escap es by convicts in trucks. "These hog fuel stockpiles also are a convenient place for con victs to hide contraband articles and provided a hideout for prison ers bent on manufacturing 'pru ne' from decayed vegetables and fruits stolen from the cannery," Gladden said. Governor Paul Patterson told other members of the board that fortunately the fires at the prison during the recent rioting were not serious. "It could have been a much more disastrous situation and we should have learned a lesson," the governor added. Contractor Hired The board agreed to employ Erwin E. Batterman, Salem con tractor, to complete the segrega tion cell block now under con struction. Batterman said he would complete the new segrega tion cellblock with free labor at a cost of $54,596 as against an estimate of $47,000 through the use of convict labor.' He promised completion of the segregation cell block in approximately 60 days. Incorrigible prisoners would be housed in this cellblock. Gladden told the board there had been considerable sabotage to this structure and he had di rected that no -prisoners be per mitted to loiter in that area. O'Malley Selected Secretary of State Earl T. New bry, member of the board when Virgil O'Malley was selected as warden, said O'Malley had advis ed the board that when his pro posed improvements were com pleted the Oregon prison would be one of the outstanding in the country. To Ask for Guards It was indicated at Tuesday's meeting that the board of control will be required to ask the state emergency board for additional funds for more guards. The war den emphasized that he wanted to replace several convicts now working in important jobs by free labor. "Some of the convicts have at tempted to tell me what work they Mill do but that has been stopped," Gladden declared. The board of control requested the warden to make a complete written report along with any recommendations he may deem advisable in order to avoid future ; uprisings at the institution. The board indicated it was high-1 Iy satisfied with-the manner in which the warden had handled the prison situation. - Russ Sold U.S. Guns, Ammo to Latin Rebels, Paper Reports SAN DIEGO, Calif, tf) The San Diego Union said Tuesday it has information that guns and ammunition given by the U. S. to Russia during World Wsr II were sold for, $75,000 to a Latin Ameri can who planned a revolution. Instead, the paper said, he be came: afraid that the revolution might lead to Communist control of his country and turned some of the weapons over to the American ambassador at San Jose, Costa Rica, Jane 20, 1352. Hefis not a Costa: Rican. ; The guns and ammunition; the paper said, were smuggled to Latin : America by a Russian sub marine. r The Union said the information has been turned over to Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) as head of the Senate Investigating Com mittee, t This disclosure followed Union publication f a story by Reporter Gene; Fuson that he had also given McCarthy original informa tion on which the senator based a Monday statement that U. S. Sokdet Union Parliam ent to Meet July 28 LONDON OH Russia's Sup reme j Soviet (parliament), which last met four months ago to con firm peorgi M. Malenkov as pre mier, jis to meet again July 28, the Moscow radio announced Tuesday night.) The? call was issued by Marshal Klementi Voroshilov, chairman of the : Supreme Soviet's Presidium, and Nikolai Pegov, secretary of the Presidium, without disclosing the topics that will be considered. Thej likelihood, however, is that the session will be concerned pri marily with two things: 1. The Malenkov regime's first budget. 2. Rubber-stamping of the re moval of Lavrenty P. Beria as internal affairs minister : and his replacement by Sergf i Kruglov. The? Supreme Soviet, the elected legislative body of the Soviet Un ion, sas only nominal power. Its jot isf to approve whatever actions are passed on to it by the Com munist Party and the Council of Ministers (cabinet). . CpyotesKill Many Lambs IriEola Hills Wanton killing of lambs by coyotes in the Eola Hills has cost sheepmen more than $1,000 in the past two months. Altogether 75 lambs and a goat have! been lost, -with some ot the slain! animals as close as a mile and a half to Salem city limits Biggest loss suffered was by Mrs. B. 0 Shucking, Eola Acres flor ist, Whose flock is minus 31 lambs picked off by the predatory beast Several men in the neighbor hood! have been getting together in efforts to track down the coy ote with hounds. Ronald Hogg, 3165 1 Dallas Rd., and Fred Auer, Rickreall, have trailed the animal with; no results, and others have takeii part in the hunt , Originally dogs were suspected of killing the lambs, but the wholesale slaughter with only the blood and intestines eaten and the carcasses left pointed to the work! of coyotes. In Polk county sheep owners are partially reim bursed for losses due to dogs, but no such recompense is made for coyote damage. However, there is a bounty on coyofes and whoever brings the villiajn to the county clerks office will pet $3, if a male, or $4, if a female. Aiier, Twith his Red ,Bone hounds, and possibly with Hogg or some other men, may again give chasf to the predator as soon as rain ofens the ground enough to make tracking possible. Thjere have been no reports of coyoes troubling sheep in, Mar ion bounty recently, according to me tuuiuy cieru. x- Po3k countv losses, besides Mrs. ' Shucjcing's, include: Mrs. Marie i Travrner, 19 lambs: Ervin Sim- monj and Adams, eight; Emu Marks, six; Glen Southwick, T: J.

To Strive for i Reich, Austria Settlements ; i ;j ' ' I By JOHN SCALI ' WASHINGTON OH The Unitec States, Britain and France, in a major; move to ease East-West ten sions, Tuesday night proposed a meeting with Russia's foreign min ister in the early autumn. . They proposed that the Big Four foreign ministers arrange nation wide elections in divided Germany, set up a single government there and concluded an Austrian peace settlement This joint decision was announc ed in a formal communique sum ming up the results of a five day conference by the Big Three West era foreign ministers. American officials- said written invitations would be sent to Mos cow within two or three days sug gesting that the conference be held in late September or October. President -Eisenhower, they indi cated, might agree afterward to meet with Russia's premier, Geor gi Malenkov, and British and French leaders if the foreign min isters first succeeded in settling the German and Austrian prob lems.;;.. Meeting Sidetracked A possible Big 'Three meeting be tween Eisenhowi r and Britain's Winston Churchill and French Pre mier Joseph Laniel apparently was sidetracked for the time being as a result of the call for a confer ence with Russia's V. M. Molotov; . ''The three ministers are con vinced." said the communique is sued Tuesday night, "that solid foundations for peace can be built only by constructive action n end oppression and remove causes of instability and sources of conflict, "Those who genuinely want peace must seek: to restore liberty, hope, and human dignity." Decisions Revealed The 2,500 word statement an nounced the decisions made by Sec retary of State Dulles, Lord Salis bury, British acting foreign secre tary; and French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault. . , These- were the other main points: L A warning to Red China their governments would go to war once more if the Reds "should renew their: aggression in Korea after an armistice." ,2. A reiteration of American-British-French view that a Korean ar mistice must "not result in jeopar dizing' Indochina or the peace of any other Asian area. China Policy United ( 3. An agreement to maintain ex isting "common policies" toward Communist China "pending further consultations."
