CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 53rd Year 2 Sections S Cents Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon Thursday, June 21, 1965 Sixteen Pages No. 168 alzhiseir IFaiees oil? too 0) Sesomid TO( Dulles Hurls Free Election Bid at Reds : SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Secre tory of State John Foster Dulles challenged Soviet loaders today to permit free elections in Russia and Eastern Europe if they really believe Communism can win on its own merits. "Violence is the classic and na tural tactic of Soviet Commu nism" as taught not only by Stnlin but also by Lenin, Dulles said in a speech prepared for the 41st an nual convention of Kiwanis Inter national. The Soviets "would sure ly be tempted" to revert to vio lence if the free world let down its guard, Dulles warned. : "If Communism Is so good that, as its leaders say, others will freely accept It on its merits, why not give the first chance to those who know it best?" Dulles asked. . Until free elections are permit ted in Russia and Eastern Europe, Dulles said, the free peoples ore entitled to presume that there is "something basically wrong" with the Communist system. Dulles called Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev's speech denouncing Stalin "the most damning indictment of despotism ever made by a despot." He said Khrushchev's speech "should of itself be sufficient to make all free peoples shun that type of despotism as they would shun a plague." 1 In Khrushchev's speech, Dulles said, Stalin emerges as a "devia tionist" from Marxist doctrine. "Almost a traitor. . .a . man so ''brutal' and sadistic in character as to rival one of the most evil of the Roman emperors, Caligu la." The main point in Khrushchev's speech, Dulles said, is that he exposed "the inability of the Soviet Communist system to liqui date its own evil leadership, be cause it was the evil leader who had the supreme power to liqui date others." Miller Says He, Marilyn Will Marry WASHINGTON "(UP) Play wright Arthur Miller said today he will marry actress Marilyn Monroe very soon, perhaps within the "next few days." Miller announced the long ru mored wedding plans to reporters after telling the House Un-American Activities Committee that he has never been under "communist party discipline" but has contrib uted to communist front ' organi zations. Miller said he, hoped to honey moon In Europe with Miss Mon roe, who is leaving for London July 13 to make a new picture. He has applied to the State De partment for a passport. But his last passport application, t e o years ago, was turned down. Rumors had been flying on Broadway that Miller, who won Pulitzer prize for his "Death of a Salesman," would marry the curv aceous movie star In Connecticut this weekend. Newsmen asked Miller about it during a brief re cess in his testimony before the. committee. New Post Taken By Dr. Soules Dr. Mar? Soules, Tri-County health officer, today announced her resignation. She has accepted a position as health officer of Douglas county. Her headquarters will be in Roseburg. The resignation of Dr. Soules be comes effective on July 15.
