il!evAsli-s Dn luss 'Coexistence' Prive By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL WASHLNGTON f President Eisenhower : said Tuesday that while Russia Is using a different tone in talk of peaceful coexist ence it must be -watched very closely if this signifies an attempt to hill America into complacency. " Eisenhower said there is noth ing to indicate a fundamental change in Soviet attitude, and it would be the greatest error we could make to lose sight of Rus sia's basic objective of world rev olution and the dominance of a Communist, centrally ! controlled, world state. , 1 ) He assured his news conference there is no tendency on the part of himself or Secretary of State Dulles to take anything for grant ed with respect to Soviet talk of peaceful ' coexistence. At the same time he jepeated something he has said many times that whenever there is reason to believe anyone wants to talk earnestly or sincerely about peace, we will talk to them. . Rales Out Conference But the chief -executive ruled out any Big Four conference, such as. has been suggested for next May by Prime Minister Mendes France of France, until: 1. The Paris agreements for New Latin America Aid Plan Launched By JIMM1E S. PAYNE QUITANDINHA, Brazil () The United States Tuesday launched a new "policy of the good partner" to lift a notch high er the "policy of the good neigh bor in Latin America. U-5. Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey told the. Inter American Economic Conference the United States is supporting a multiple program to promote the Americas' economic solidarity, which he said Washington regards as "part of the common defense. He did not indicate the United States can meet all the sweeping demands for economic aid to its southern neighbors, but he went farther than many delegates had expected. ! - Some Latin American diplomats among the 250 delegates and 'ad visors at the conference expressed . . ... i guarueu approval w uie spcecn, i 1 ington State Seeks Budget Hike OLYMPIA un . Washington, state agencies want a '.61-million dollar increase in their budget for 1955-57, Gov. Langlie disclosed-Tuesday, i Langlie announced the figures at the. closing session of .the Governor's Conference on Educa tion, revealing for the I first time the magnitude - of the financial headache that will be handed to the 1955 Legislature. The largest single increase Is sought by educational leaders who have asked for a 52 Vt million dollar boost in basic school support. ill In making the figures public, Langlie lashed out against exten sion of federal aid for schools, asserting the state should face up to its own responsibilities. Langlie said the people would have to pay the bill even though the money came to the state by way of the federal government In some instances he said "we get bade 50 per cent of what we pay." The governor's ' conference, called to consider school problems, approved continuance of existing federal aid,- but said lit lacked sufficient information to reach a decision as to whether federal aid should be extended. 1 ' one ot tne major conclusions of the 900 delegates was one concern Ing greater utilization of high school buildings. It proposed further examination of the feasibility of a three-year high school program by extending the present nine-month school year to u months. , i which was received with mild ap plause. Others reserved comment Humphrey read a special mes sage from "President -Eisenhower h which the President said the U.S.. "policy of the good neigh bor" is no longer sufficient "I earnestly hope that the meet ing as a whole may join with the delegation of the United States in common dedication to th. policy of the good partner," -the Presi dent said. Humphrey said the - "United States believes that a vigorous free enterprise system" and the reduction of government interven tion : in commerce and industry constitute the best way to improve living standards. He said the Uni ted States will do its best to main tain a strong economy which will insure increasing trade with Latin America. I The assurance of international markets will go a long way to ward solving the problem of flue tuating 'export prices for Latin American products, he said. This problem has caused serious trou ble in many of "the countries and is causing major concern among the conference delegates. Some hemisphere countries have urged the United States to estab lish some sort of price support plan for their; raw products, but Washington has announced repeat edly no country is strong enough to guarantee good prices for the worlds major products. Bank Merger Approved by Stockholders PORTLAND m Commercial Bank of Oregon- stockholders Tuesday night voted approval of a stock exchange . which would, merge that firm with the United States National Bank of Portland. Earlier in the day Bank' of Albany stockholders approved a similar merger, with the UT S. National. Stockholders of U. S. National are to vote on the mergers Friday. If they approve and if banking authority in Washington, D. C, approve, 12 more branches and 40 million dollars in deposits will be added 'to U. S. National's state wide banking system. The Commercial Bank of Oregon has its head office at Hillsboro and branches at Banks, Newberg, Cloverdale, Sherwood, Tillamook, St. Paul, Verhonia, West Slope, Wheeler and Hood River. A recent United Nations ttudv indicates that the proportion of personal income used for food nas - increased tnrougnout tne world since World War IL bringing a rearmed Western Ger many-mto the North Atlantic Treaty Organization a; ?gned. 2. Such a conference offers a promise of real fruitfuHness. 3. There is time to prepare ior a conference. ' ' . Eisenhower took his position that America must continue to be alert, vigilant and strong, while Russia sounds the coexistence Dote, in response to questions oeczed to a speech last week by Senate Republican Leader Know- land of California. Knowiana wia the Senate there is a danger that Russia is promoting the peaceful coexistence idea as a trojan horse to lull the West into a feeling of false security. Other Topics In response to questions the President touched on these other topics: Segregation The supreme Court the President said, con fronts very great practical prob lems and deep seated emotions in writing the orders that will put into effect its ruling against seg regated public schools for Ne groes and whites. He said he un derstands the court is trying to devise some form of decentralized process of bringing this about and doesn't believe it intends to be arbitrary. Nominations ' It would be in the best interests of the country, Eisenhower said, for the Senate to confirm as fast as possible ap pointments about which there is no deep or real controversy, . China debate Eisenhower said that personally he would allow West Point and Annapolis cadets to argue as strongly as they want ed to the question of recognizing Communist China. 'The subject has been suggested for college de bating squads but the superin tendents of the service academies have barred it for their cadets. No 3-Day Session Legislative huddles ' More con ferences are planned with Repub lican legislative, leaders, in ad vance of the next Congress, the President said, but not on what be termed as formidable a basis as a three-day session last De cember when his program was new. As for consulting Democrats who will become chairmen of con gressional committees, Eisenhow er said advance agreements will be sought on foreign affairs and national security matters but others will be on their merits at the particular moment Farm Program Farmers don't agree with Rep, Sam Ray- burn (D-Tex), Eisenhower said, if his sampling of their opinion last summer was accurate. Rayburn, who will become House speaker again in January, has proposed that the administration's flexible price support program be re placed with the old rigid support system.' . .- New Irrigatio- Projects Irrigation projects Eisenhow er said the administration wants to start new ones provided they are -fitted into a big broad pro gramrin accordance wkh a par tially completed survey of the na tions water resources. Disarmament The President apparently differed with an objec tive of the World Council of Churches for "universal enforce able disarmament through the United Nations." This, and other ideals, he said. Is something that must animate us but he must dis agree 100 per cent with anybody who minks that the United states can be in better position in the pursuit of peace by being weak, Tapping a desk for emphasis, the President said we must . be strong, that he just can't go along with this country's trying to find world peace by ourselves disarm ing and being weak and unready. U.S. Protests Sentencing of 13 Americans HOW YOU SPEND YOUR TIME . (Story aiso on page one) WASHINGTON (Thirteen Americans were sentenced to pri son terms Tuesday by the Chi nese Communists and the quick protest was filed by the United States. The Defense Department said 11 airmen who were sentenced were on a "routine flight near the Yalu Rivr when they were shot' down Jan. 12. 1953." It said the "Communists' charge that these men are 'political pris oners is palpably false." " As for two civilians, Richard Fecteau, . who. got 20 years, and John Downey, who was sen tenced to life imprisonment, the Defense Department said: "They were authorized passen gers on a routine flight from Seoul to Japan in a plane which was under military contract to the Far East Air Force. The search in stituted at the time failed to pro duce any trace of the plane and Downey and Fecteau. were pre sumed to have been lost. It is now apparent from the Peiping broadcast that they were captured and as in the case of the other 'political prisoners, they were re fused repatriation in violation of the armistice agreement U. N. Check From the Senate, Sen. Mansfield asked ' that Secretary of State Dulles request a United Nations investigation. He wrote Dulles urging immediate action. The Defense Department said the 13 Americans are being held as political prisoners "in violation of international law, the rules of war, and the Korean armistice agreement. The department also asserted: "The Peiping radio report of the conviction of these U.S. prisoners on the charge of .'spying' is all too reminiscent of numerous other false , charges previously made against the U.N. Command. We may expect the usual array of 'confessions,' 'evidence, and so called 'investigations' to bolster the current charges." Vigorous Protest The State Department said it Is instructing the VS. mission at Ge neva to make protest in "the most vigorous terms" to the Chi nese Communist representative there. The U.S. consul general there is (Franklin C. Gowen. The 13 Americans and the pris on terms Peiping radio said they received: Col. John Knox Arnold Jr., Sil ver Spring, Md., 10 years; Maj. William H.

"There is no motion picture comedy today," shrugged Sennett "It's all on TV. The craft of those TV stars, he Bottle Floats 1,200 Miles to Same O wner CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. A floating bottle story got more and more surprising Monday. , The bottle, so the story goes, floated 400 miles down three , riv ers from Lewiston, Idaho, to the sea and washed . up, after 1,200 more miles, on a beach here. But that's not alL It caught up with the youth who says he tossed it into the Clearwater River last June ll two days before he left to join the U. S. Mannes. He is Donald E. Gruell, now sta tioned at Camp Pendleton. Gruell declared he was surely surprised Monday about the bottle and he winding up at the same place and at about the same time. He arrived a couple of weeks ago. The bottle was found a week ago by John Rockwell, San Diego pri vate detective, with a note inside saying it had been tossed into the Clearwater and asking the 'finder to notify Gruell at his Lewiston address. Gruell said he was 18 the day he started the bottle on its trip. The note said "I am 20 years old." This discrepancy remained unex plained as Gruell was called away from the telephone to resume his marine duties. The Scripps Institution of Ocean ography at La Jolla said it wasn't impossible that a' bottle could have floated down the ' Clearwater, Snake and Columbia Rivers and then along the Pacific Coast to Camn Pendleton in five months. Amateur rivermen at Lewiston said they thought the .same. The Marines, officially, weren't saying anything. Witness Claims Osteopath's Thumb Print Found on Bed CLEVELAND (91 The only fingerprint on Marilyn Sheppard's death bed, a police expert said Tuesday, was a thumb print of Dr. Samuel Sheppard. He is on trial for bis lite for his wife's murder. The state drew the testimony from Jerome Poelking. It was passed on to Sheppard's first de gree murder jury witnout any at tempt, to evaluate its significance. Pelking. a fingerprint expert ,for the Cleveland police, said he found the thumb orint on the headboard of Marilyn's twin bed last July 23 18 days after her July 4 slaying In the same bed. The home had been under police guard since, the murder and Sheppard bad sot vis ited it except in the company of investigators. Print 'Identical' "I found the left thumb of Sam Sheppard was identical with the latent print I found on the head board." Poelking testified. Earlier, another police finger print man, Michael S. GrabowskL testified be raa into smudged markings while seeking . finger prints in the Sheppard home the day of the murder. He said he did not examine the bed closely at the time, lest he disturb it for other investigators. Apparently seeking to show some prints could have been de liberately wiped away, assistant prosecutor Thomas Parrino asked GrabowsU: "Could such marks. In your opin ion, be created by a cloth?" Yes. air. the witness replied. Grabowski. a bespectacled man with flat -black hair and a rapid fire voice, was the Cleveland Po lice Department's ton scientific man en the scene of the murder July 4: ; ,. - : Cress Examined Under cross examination. - he mhkuk( that hoaiu hm couldn't discover any prints didn't mean no fingers ever touched anything. He said they could have been obliterated by smears or have been, too meager to evaluate as fingerprints. . Another witness, detective Pat rick Gareau, told of examining a bare foot print on the Lake Erie beach outside the Sheppard home and ordering pictures taken of it July 4. For comparison, he said, pic tares also were takes of some of the policemen' prints in the sand. "They were taking pictures of their own footprints," chortled de fense attorney William J. Corrigan in a stage whisper. The state objected vigorously, Common Pleas Judge Edward Bluthin told Corrigan his aside was out of order and directed the iunr to disregard it Dr. Sheppard,-30 - year - old osteopath, is accused of beatiag his wife to death following love affairs with other women. thinks,-is basically similar to that of Ben Turpm, Charlie Chaplin, Harry Langdon Chester Conklin and the other comics who tumbled fast and furiously through the fa mous Keystone Comedies 40 years ago. , Like Langdon GobeL NBC'a new. TV star, has been described as a new Will Rog ers. But Sennett more accurately likens him to Harry Langdon, the sad-faced "Little Man" of the si- ent screen. "Gobel has terrific relaxation," said Sennett "You can't do com edy without relaxation and com posure. Sennett is back in 'the limelight once more because the story of his life, "King of Comedy " in col laboration ' with Cameron Shipp, has just been published. I found the new author in his old-fashioned, white apartment house on Hol lywood Blvd. and as we stroDed down the shabby, busy street lie revealed what he thinks of TV.

When the script is good, be gives a great performance. "The same for Red Skelton. Red is a great artist, but when his scripts are not good be loses that wonderful humor I always expect from such a fine performer. I am the doctor," he smiled, "and that is my honest opinion." Sennett had a word'of warning for such comics as Donald O'Con nor and Gleason who have taken over writing or directing of their shows. v Chaplin Alone ' "They want to be the whole show and you can't do it," he la mented. "Chaplin was the only one who could. Harry Langdon was the only comedian I knew who could replace Chaplin, but when he found out how great he was he wanted to take over the whole show, and, bang! We could- n t use him any more. "A comedian needs production, management and stories, remem ber that- , Sennett himself has become quite a TV performer on many guest spots. He appeared with Art Linkletter last week and may fly to New York for the Ed Sullivan show to plug his book. ' The ex-producer stood on the corner of Hollywood and Vine to gaze at the huge, modern TV stu dios built on the spot where di rectors in turned-around caps cre ated the great art of the movie nearly 50 years ago. '"Pay-as-you-go-TV is the thing," he said. "No more small theaters just big houses and big pic tures." .'
