Birthday Party

agreed that the seven-day con
ference, which opens in the War
Memorial Opera House Monday,
would be more than a "birth
day party."
Dr.' Eelco Van Kleffens, presi
dent of the General Assembly
who will preside over the ses
sions, said he expected "much
constructive work" would be ac
complished here next week.

neva, Switzerland, next month.
Malik said he considered the
meetings here a "milestone of
history" and he hoped that one
result of the conference would
be an easing of the deadlock
over admission of new members
to the U.N., including Red
China.
Russia's delegation, headed by
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov, was enroute across the
United States by train and due
to arrive here early Saturday.

Peron Ties Revolt
With Campaign
Against Church
Hundreds Injured;
Appeal to Priests
Montevideo, Uruguay (U.R)
Roman Catholic churches in Bue
nos Aires were burned and the
home of Santiago Luis Cardinal
Copello was reported destroyed
today in the wake of an abortive
attempt to overthrow the govern
ment of President Juan D. Peron.
Peron, indirectly confirming
the wave of arson that swept
the Argentine capital after yes
terday's outbreak, blamed Com
munists and said "they did not
even respect religious buildings
that are priceless relics of our
historic heritage."
"The government deplores and
condemns the excesses commit
ted by Communist elements in
various parts of the city," the
President said in his second na
tionwide broadcast in less than
24 hours.
The revolt took at least 156
lives. Hundreds were injured.
He appealed to both priests
and workers to help maintain
peace and to put down rumors.
Refers To Church
Dispatches reaching here
through heavy Argentine censor
ship said that six churches and
one basilica were fired in the
heart of Buenos Aires where the
heaviest fighting took place. One
dispatch said the curia, which
adjoins the Metropolitan Cathe
dral and which is the center of
church activities in Argentina,
was destroyed.
In today's broadcast, Peron for
the first time linked the revolt
with the government campaign
against the church.
He said the church-state rela
tionship must be Settled by elec
tions and he added:
"Yesterday's example should
awaken the conscience of Cath
olics so that they too may await
the elections."
Peron said that all rebels will
be given a fair trial "because we
must respect the law."
Meetings Prohibited
He stressed again the loyal
behaviorw6f the Army during
yesterday's fighting and said
that the "Army and the police
are in charge of measures to pre
vent new excesses, but all with
in the law." .
He reminded the populace
again that the nation was under
a state of siege, banning meet
ings and rallies.
Reports reaching Montevideo
through the heavy Argentine
censorship said 156 persons
were killed in the revolt, 96 per
sons critically injured and about
800 persons less severely in
jured. Most vof the victims died
when rebel planes bombed and
strafed the capital.
The official Argentine radio
and all other radio stations in
the country sent out bulletins
throughout the night saying that
complete calm reigned through
put Argentina, but observers in
neighboring Uruguay said this
indicated some resistance con
tinued. Oil Cartel Suit
Ready Within Year
Washington (U.R) Asst. Atty.
Gen. Stanley N. Barnes told
gress today he hopes.to have the
government's oil cartel suit
ready for prosecution within the
next year.
The suit, filed by Atty. Gen
Herbert Brownell Jr., in 1953,
accuses five major U.S. oil com
panies of a conspiracy to con
trol and split up world oil pro
duction and markets.
Barnes also said the depart
ment may be ready within a
year to start prosecution of a
second case involving monopoly
charges against oil companies
in the Pacific Coast area.
He said the cartel case against
Socony Vacuum, The Texas Co.;

New York (U.R) The West
ern Big Three foreign ministers
today called West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer into
their strategy meeting to learn
his attitude toward Moscow's
bid to open diplomatic relations
with his country.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, British Foreign Secre
tary Harold MacMillan and
French Foreign Minister Antoine
Pinay met for the second day
to form a united front for next
week's San Francisco meeting
with Soviet Foreign Minister!
Viacheslav M. Molotov.
To Meet Monday
The four foreign ministers
were scheduled to meet Monday,
concurrently with the United
Nations' 10th anniversary com
memorative session, to arrange
for the July 18 "summit meet
ing" of the Big Four heads of
government at Geneva.
Meeting for two hours" and 40
minutes Thursday at Wave Hill,
the official residence of Brit
ain's ambassador to the U.N., the
Western Big Three ministers
agreed that they would present
no agenda for the summit meet
ing to Molotov.
The United States accepted the
ho agenda" idea favored by
Britain and France. The argu
ment was that if an agenda is
put before the Geneva confer
ence, time will be wasted in
debating its adoption.
Crisis Discussed
The ministers spent much of
their time discussing the Far
Eastern crisis and disarmament,
both topics which Russia was
considered certain 'to raise at
the summit session.
The U. S. position was that
the Geneva conference was not
the place to discuss either topic.
Washington has held that the
Far Eastern crisis should be set
tled in direct talks between the
U.S. and Red China with direct
or indirect participation by Na
tionalist China.' Disarmament is
under exhaustive discussion by
the U.N., with the five major
atomic powers the U.S., Russia,
Britain, France and Canada
having recently interrupted 13
weeks of secret talks to consider
at length a "new" proposal put
up by Russia.
Soviet Moves Aired
The three ministers talked at
length Thursday about Russia's
recent moves, apparently design
ed to ease the cold war, such
as the agreement to an Austrian
treaty, the reconciliation . with
Yugoslavia and the overtures to
West Germany.
Dulles, a highly-placed inform
ant said, doubted Russia's sin
cerity in these moves and said
the U.S. maintained a "Missouri
attitude you've got to show
me."
Annexation Facts

An explanation of the pro
posed annexation of a large area
east, south and west of the pres
ent Medford city limits is sched

8 p.m. today in the courthouse
auditorium.
The meeting is being held for
residents of the area west of

being arranged by the Jackson

Salem (U.R) The State Em-
ergency Board today approved
a plan to give merit raises to
state employees who merit them
and to enable the State Civil
Service Department to adjust
salaries to eliminate inequities.
But the action was not taken
before the members had been
assured by Charles W. Terry,
civil service director, and Harry
Dorman, director of the state
Department of Finance and Ad

would be spent on hiring new

Cushion for Emergencies
Terry said there would be a
"cushion" of at least $500,000
to meet such an emergency as
a sharp rise in competitive wages
for such key workers as en

Biggest merit raises for state

Radio Prize Winnings
Ruled Not Taxable
Portland (U.R) A Portland
couple was notified today that
they need not pay $2400 income
taxes on the $1125 in cash they
received as a prize from a radio
quiz show. J
The Bureau of Internal Rev

the tax, claiming the prize was
part of their taxable income. But
the federal tax court ruled that
the cash and merchandize prize,
totalling more than $12,000, was
to be considered a gift and not
income.,
Mr. and Mrs. Ray W. Cam
peau, Portland, won the prizes
in 1949 when a Hollywood quiz
show called and asked them two
questions. They provided correct
answers to both and the prizes
were sent to them. The tax court
decided that since the Campeaus
did not solicit the prizes nor
enter the competition . volun
tarily, their winnings should be
considered a gift.
