JA ReglsttT-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Frl., Jan. 21, 1955 Buffer Zone Set Up Along Latin r rontier : SAN JOSE, Costa Rica Wt The inter-American peace c'ommls lion stretched a net of neutral ground and air observers along and over 18 miles of the Costa (ought to keep the rebellion south of the border from touching off war between the two Latin-American neighbors. -. A Costa Rican government column, meanwhile, began a flank ing movement to get behind the rebels in the northwest sector of the country, then crush them against the bulk of the government troops to the south. , . Launching its major peace-preservation effort, the five-nation ! 1 commission of the Organization Demo Prober Juggl( les Staff WASHINGTON l Chairman Walter (D-Pa) promised Friday a series of changes in the staff of the House Un-American Ac tivities Committee as the group prepared to resume its Red hunting under Democratic con trol. ' Walter was named chairman Thursday at what he called a "very harmonious" meeting. He said the committee "decided un animously to direct our attention to information we had concern ing defense industry." But its principal aim, he said, will be to study communism gen erally in. a locality, rather than In a type of industry or occupa tion. Heading the staff, Walter said, will be Frank S. Tavenner, who beld a similar post before the Re publicans took control in 1953 and who continued as cocounsel with Robert L. Kunzig during the last two years. Kunzig's resig nation has been accepted, Walter aaid, and the Republican com mittee members made no objec tion to elimination of the co counsel post. Walter said staff members slat ed to go off the payroll include: Rea Van Fosson, the former Air Force intelligence agent who was hired as a committee Investigator last November after reportedly giving the congressional group ecret FBI data. No Invitations For McCarthy WASHINGTON W) The White House said Thursday Sen. and Mrs. Joseph R. McCarthy, missing from two White House dinners this week, wero not in vited because of a "decision by the President and Mrs. Eisen hower." McCarthy (R-Wls) chairman of the Senate Government Opera tions Committee during the 83rd Republican-run Congress, was the only chairman of a Senate com mittee during that Congress who was not invited to one of the two functions. On Dec, 7, McCarthy assailed Elsenhower for what ho termed a "shrinking show of weakness" to ward Communism and apologized for asking voters to support El senhower in 1952. McCarthy was angered at the time by the president's congrat ulations to Sen. Watklns (It Utah) for a job well done as chairman of the Senate Commit tee handling censure charges against McCarthy. The outcome was a Senate vote to condemn somo of McCarthy's actions. This week's dinners were held Tuesday night for Vice President Nixon and Wednesday night hon oring House Speaker Sam Ray burn. Mistreatment Probe TOKYO (fl Toru Nakagawa, Chief of the Japanese Foreign Ministry's Asian Bureau, told the Diet (parliament) Friday tho gov ernment plans to ask the United States about charges that the , U. S. military government has mistreated Okinawans. Emu t- Bican-Nicaraguan frontier Friday. They of American States dispatched 23 officers to patrol the neutral buffer zone 18 miles long and six miles wide which the commission established Thursday along the border north of the fighting area. In accepting the neutral zone proposal, both Costa Rican Pres ident Jose Figueres and Nica raguan President Anastasio So- moza agreed to keep their troops out of the area and their planes out of the air above it. NOT A CEASE-FIRE Somoza already has announced he would intern any of the Costa Rican rebels chased across his border. The demilitarized area runs athwart the rebels' natural escape route, between the Pacific Ocean and Lake Nicaragua. In setting up the buffer zone, the OAS commission emphasized that it was not seeking a cease fire in the rebellion but only keeping the Costa Ricans and the Nicaraguans from tangling. The commission made, its proposal after Somoza charged Costa Rican planes attacking the rebel headquarters Wednesday had vio lated Nlcaraguan territory. He warned further border violations would have "grave" conse quences. REBELS STRAFED Aside from the loyalist flank ing operation, the chief military activities appeared to be straf ing of rebel positions by the four F51 Mustang fighters the United States turned over to Costa Rica earlier this week. Government communiques made no mention of ground fighting, The general staff claimed the F51s destroyed a gasoline dump at La Cruz, the rebel headquart ers seven miles south of the border, as well as one jeep, one small truck and three armored trucks. A communique said the flank ing operation, led by a Costa Rican of German descent, Col. Frank Marshall, was going "ac cording to plan and doing very well."

(NEA) McCarthy Hits Reinstatement Of Mrs. Moss WASHINGTON ifft Sen. Mc Carthy (R-Wis) said Friday the Pentagon has chosen a "rather ridiculous" solution in restoring Mrs. Annie Lee Moss to duty in a different job after she was sus pended twice as a possible secur ity rlslt. "She is either a good security risk or a bad one," McCarthy told newsmen, and said the Pentagon should have been more definite in its decision. Secretary of Defense Wilson has ordered the 49-year-old Ne gro woman placed back on the Army's payroll in a nonsensittve job "without access to classified information." FINANCE OFFICE The Army said she would be assigned to a job in the office of its chief of finance. Wilson said the record of Mrs. Moss, whose suspension McCarthy had applauded, "does not support a conclusion that she is actually subversive or disloyal to the United States." Wilson said it did contain "clear indication of cer tain derogatory information oc curring prior to 1946." The Army suspended Mrs. Moss last Feb. 25 from her job of run ning coded messages through a transmitting machine after Mc Carthy questioned her about al leged Communist affiliations. She denied under oath that she was or ever had been a Communist. SECOND SUSPENSION The Army later reinstated her. gave her a different job, then suspended her again in August on the basis of undisclosed furth er information. The Army was still considering the case when Wilson stepped in with his deci sion. McCarthy, saying tho Pentagon should have decided the case in more definite terms, added: "To say she isn't a good enough risk to handle classified material. but to give her job where she rubs elbows with others who do handle classified material, is rather a ridiculous position to take." Bill Approved SALEM m The Legislature's Joint Ways and Means Commit tee Thursday recommended pas sage of a bill to cover employes of the Legislature by state indus trial accident insurance. It was introduced by Rep. F. H. Dam- masch, Portland. It was tho first measure approved by the com mittee. 1 e 3 U Bobo Sued for $100,000 By Her Former Attorney NEW YORK UV-Joseph Sax, a Boston attorney, is suing Barbara (Bobo) Rockefeller and her ex- husband Winthrop for $100,000 which he claims was due him for legal services during their stormy marital career.

Sexton granted the divorce on charges which al leged Bridges had treated his wife with "extreme cruelty," Sexton awarded Mrs. Bridges custody and $200 a month for the maintenance and education of the Bridges' son, Robert Alfred, 6.

Sax also hurled personal charges against Bobo. In Novem ber 1952, he said, the wife "with the intent to deprive me of my fee did intentionally render im possible the consummation of the agreed settlement by deliberate and malicious, insulting and scan dalous conduct and vile language toward and in the presence of my self, Winthrop Rockefeller and his attorney, by physically assaulting me, her husband and the latter s attorney." Mrs. Rockefeller said, "The per sonal charges against me are un true," and added: SAYS HE FAILED "At Mr. Sax's solicitation, I re tained him upon his representa tion that he could effect a rccon ciliation with Winthrop Rocke feller in November of 1952, which he was unable to accomplish. He was dismissed upon his failure. "A check was sent to him in the full amount previously agreed upon for his services. This check was returned without comment by Mr. Sax."

Outlook 'Ignored' Farmers WASHINGTON MV-Scn. Doug las (R-Ill) said Friday he found "a high degree of political color ing" in the economic report Presi dent Eisenhower sent to Congress Thursday. ; . i ' Douglas -heads the Senate- House ' -Economic Committee, which will begin bearings on the economic message Monday. Both he and Sen. Fulbright (D-Ark) said the President had ignored what they termed the plight of agriculture. PASSING REFERENCE Fulbright, chairman of the Sen ate Banking Committee, said farm income, as measured by the ratio of farm prices to costs, "now is at the lowest point in 14 years and the economic message barely makes a passing reference to agriculture." Sen. Byrd (D-Va), who heads the Finance Committee, approved the President's recommendation against any tax reductions at his session of Congress. "I certainly agree that we should not reduce taxes until we balance- the bud get," Byrd said in a separate in terview. Republicans, as expected, "gen erally had high praise for the presidential report, which painted an optimistic -picture of the na tion's economy. FREE ENTERPRISE Sen. Goldwater fR-Ariz. member of the Joint Economic Committee, said Eisenhower "puts empnasis on free enterprise- in stead of government activities for maintenance of economic growth." Sen. Flanders (R-Vt), another committee member, said he rnulA "go along with many of the presi- uenuai proposals. bpeaKer of the House Ravhnrn (D-Tex) commented that the na. tion would have continued pros perity if Republicans "just keep in effect the laws we Democrats have enacted the last 18 years.'

WON'T ATTEND Nuri. however, will not be at the round table. He sent word he was too ill to attend the emer gency meetings. Egyptian news papers headlined the news: "Nuri Said pretends sickness." Egypt has accused Nun oi aou- ble-crossing the Arab League by signing a pact with an "outside power." The Egyptians want the league states to depend only on their Arab mutual security pact. Though it was signed in 1950, it has never been implemented.

It was the turn of John R. Mac Kenzie, former grocery store manager, Friday. Herbert Simpson, 33, former trucking company clerk, was con victed Thursday. Donald Wollam, 40, former dock worker, was con victed Wednesday. Each time the jury was out only a few minutes. Federal Judge George H. Boldt of Tacoma told jurors the only question for them to decide was whether the men had refused deliberately to an swer questions about where they lived, worked or had gone to school. They face maximum penalties of a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. (ADVERTISEMENT) WHY PMfStJosexih MORE? KT ASPIRlM A 100 Tablets 49c k plough proouct fests finish slightly WAS S209.95 NOW THEY LAST!

Western diplomats assume Egypt will try to persuade the rest of the Arab collective secur ity pact signers Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen not to accept the invitation from Iraq and Turkey. Some politicians view the Iraqi Turkish pact as Nuri's bid to take over leadership of the Arab bloc from Egypt. Political rivalries play a part in the latest Middle East storm, but the dominant fact behind Iraq'i pro-Western move appears to be that Iraq with its rich Mosul Kirkuk oil fields is the nearest Arab state to Russia.
