TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. July 22. 19SS Eisenhower's Speech Wakes Him Dominating Figure at Geneva Conference Russians Learning How To Say 'Nyet' With a Smile; Now Capable of Laughing By HENRY SHAPIRO United Preti Correspondent Geneva (U.R; Whetber Geneva accomplishes anything or not on a global diplomatic scale, it has again demonstrated to an Incredulous world that the Russians can laught, joke and smile. Ever since former Premier Josef Stalin's death unfroze Arc tic Russia to be swept by the thawing winds of the current rew look. Soviet officialdom, high and low, has learned that good manners are not incom patible with Marxism. ' They have taken a lesson out of Emily Post and developed a technique of saying "nyet" (no) with a smile. I experienced the thaw in Moscow soon after Stalin's death when Foreign Ministry of ficials inexplicably began to an swer my telephone calls in nor mal, polite tones. The answers were still "nyet" on most mat ters concerning routine press facilities, but somehow it did not sound so offensive as in pre vious years. Sting Is Gone After some weeks of effort. the chief press officer even agreed to receive me in his sky scraper office to let me have a negative, but courteous, reply to my query. At Geneva, the Russians, from 4th Logging Fire Reported Today A fire on the LeRoy Edwards logging operation burned about one-fourth acre yesterday in the Lost lake area of eastern Jack son county, state forest patrol men reported. It was the fourth logging ope ration fire in the county this week. Patrolmen were called out shortly alter 2 p.m. yesterday. Cause of the fire was not cer tain. It was in old logging slash. Two patrol crews, a logging in spector and a number of log gfrs worked on the fire. Ed wards' men put a bulldozer trail around the blaze. A patrol crew was checking the scene today and Edwards' men were mopping up. Mopping up operations were still under way today also in the Jameson gulch area on Pleasant creek where a 10-acre fire occurred on Wednesday. Two other fires in logging areas were reported earlier in the week. One involved a tree which fell across a power line in the Butte Falls section and the oth er was on the old Roundtop burn near the head of the east fork of Evans creek.

A Western newspaper man can freely walk into Soviet headquarters at the Hotel Metro- pole and be received by the of ficial spokesman without a guard looking over his shoulder. At all the international confer ences held since Stalin's death. the formerly remote Russians have been approachable and talkative. Will Talk Shop They have been ready to ex change opinions, swap jokes and talk shop with anyone who wish es to talk with them But they still ar enot letting down their guard They are seeking contact -with Western journalists, they give and accept invitations for din ner. I had more drinks and chats with Russians in one week at the Berlin and" Geneva confer ences than in five years of the cold war in Moscow. At home, the top Kremlin brass, to the delight of Western journalists and diplomats, have developed the practice of turning up collectively at embassy recep tions, mingling with the crowd, making important statements around the vodka bar and com mitting calculated indiscretions. This was inconceivable under Stalin from the time the witty and westernized foreign commis sar Maxim Litvinov, was re moved from the Cabinet in 1939.

O'Neil, attorney and counsel for the Klamath Indian, tribe, says the federal government will in tervene in a legal battle between the statcof Oregon and Indians over enforcement of state game laws on Klamath and Umatilla Indian reservations. O'Neil says U. S. District At torney C. E. Luckey has filed a petition in Portland federal court for permission to intervene in game law cases. A hearing has been scheduled for Septem ber 19. The question of enforcing game laws was raised on both reservations and the cases have been consolidated. Assistant Attorney General Arthur G. Higgs said on behalf of Oregon that no Indian would be prosecuted on Oregon reser vations while the issue is pend ing in court.

Swan Island Lake Dragged for Two Boys Portland (U.R) . Authorities today dragged a small lake on Swan Island here after clothing for two small boys was found on a raft. Police said the clothing be longed to Richard Kesery, 14, and his brother, Leon, 17. Their father said the boys had been missing since yesterday morn ing. Harbor police searched through the night without suc cess after the clothing was found, fearing the boys may have drowned.' Obvious Sincerity Of Daring Secrets Trade Applauded Geneva UR) President Ei senhower's dramatic appeal to the Russians to trade arms se crets, as proof of a mutual desire for peace, made him today the unrivalled dominant figure of the Geneva summit conference. One high French delegation spokesman said the French feel that Mr. Eisenhower has inherit ed the mantle of retired former British Prime Minister Winstan Churchill as "the world's fore most statesman." This new assertion of world leadership by the American chief executive has been built surely and rapidly at the summit con ference by his obvious sincerity, and the earnest and convincing way he has made his points, both inside and outside the conference chamber. Scored Great Victory I French Premier Edsar Faure, deeply moved by the President's daring proposal to the Russians yesterday put it this way: Mr. Eisenhower, by his bold stroke '"has scored the first great victory over skepticism." Geneva and much of the world's press have been similar ly captivated by his personal warmth, sincerity and great hu manity. The President is no maker of great and resounding phrases in the tradition of Churchill. In fact, his bold proposal of yesterday was made in rough, looping and grasping language, typical of his presentation of an idea that is expressed his own way, without the aid of ghost writers. But even the British, whose concept of diplomacy is more orthodox and straight laced, agreed today that Mr. Eisenhow er s personal diplomacy naa done more than any other single thing to ease the 10-year-old sus picions and distrust of the cold war and generate a new mood of confidence. And his arms secrets exchange plan was a very personal stroke. It became known today that an intensive study started last March 18 on the project the President proposed. And the timing, the basic idea and the language were the President's own. The key paragraphs of the proposal, it became known, were delivered on the spur ot close timing and without a pre pared, text. Conference sources said tit was Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin's outline of Russia's disarmament' proposals that con vinced Mr. Eisenhower the time was ripe for his dramatic strike. He read the smoothly phrased,, carefully prepared text down to its docile center portion. Then Mr. Eisenhower removed his glasses. He turned directly .toward Bulganin. Pounding the table repeatedly for emphasis at several points, he outlined the plan which he said had come from deeply "searching heart and mind" for an expression of America's great sincerity in the search for dis armament and peace. Haltingly, at points, awkward ly at others, he laid his plan be fore the conference. He reiterat ed for emphasis and explained his meaning in almost the terms of a teacher to an inattentive child. There could be no mistaking the sweeping scope of his pro posal, the depth of his sincerity or the meaning of his words. The high ceilinged conference hall was hushed. All eyes were riveted on the speaker. Near the end a thunderstorm broke over Geneva. A short cir cuit snuffed out the lights almost on Mr. Eisenhower's closing words. Silence and emotional tension followed. "I didn't expect to blow out the lights," the President com mented, as much to himself as to the delegations. A French spokesman said the tension in the chamber was so great that few if any noticed, that the lights had gone out. Most Congressmen Cheer Proposal To Trade Secrets; Some Skeptical Larger Oregon Caves Area Asked in Bill Washington (U.R) Ret). Har ris Ellsworth (R-Ore.) said today he has introduced a bill in the House to enlarge the area of Oregon Caves National Monu ment in Josephine county. The bill would enlarge the boundaries of the monument to embrace 2910 acres, including an expanded watershed and een. logical a,nd biological features of the i area. NEW LOCATION Modern Plumbing & SHEET METAL CO. 613 East Jackson Phone 3-5368 Washington (U.R) Most of Congress cheered President Eis enhower's bold plan for a big power exchange of military in formation today. But a long standing distrust of Russia kept the verdict from being unani mous. "I think it's terrible," was the angry but private comment of one Republican leader. Some of those who applauded were skeptical that Russia would accept Mr. Eisenhower's plan to trade maps of military installa tions and rights for aerial re connaisance of these defense areas. But those who approved gen erally viewed the proposal as a tactical coup which put Russia on the spot and provided what Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) called the "acid test" of Soviet sincerity. The administration had given congressional leaders in both parties a confidential tip-off that Mr. Eisenhower might unveil the plan at the Geneva confer ence Thursday. Statements of Approval When the news 'came, George and other Senate Democratic leaders, including Floor Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, hospitalized for three weeks by a heart at tack, were ready with statements of approval. The loudest backing,, in fact, came from the Democrats. Sen ate Republican Leader. William F. Knowland and Chairman Styles Bridges of the Senate GOP Policy Committee declined to comment, Knowland explain ing that he would say nothing about the conference until it ends. In the House, Republican leader Joseph W. Martin Jr said that Mr. Eisenhower's proposal "might be the step which would lead to peace." Assistant GOP leader Charles A. Halleck said Soviet acceptance would be "one magnificent accomplishment" of the conference. But Rep. John M. Vorys (R. O.) of the foreign affairs com mittee was not satisfied. The ex change of blueprints he said, "with people who have been known to fake blueprints is not very satisfactory." The hospitalized Johnson is sued a statement calling the plan "the daring, imaginative stroke for which a war-weary world has been waiting." Acting Sen ate Democratic leader Earle C. Clements said the success of the Geneva conference on the dis armament issue would depend on the Communist answer. craft company builds Sweden's famed military jets planes be lieved on a par with American designed craft. The three-tiered plant is built of concrete in a great tunnel blasted out of solid rock. It would be hard if not almost impossible to spot from the air. Stockholm, Sweden U.R) An aircraft designer at an un derground Swedish aircraft plant warns that aerial photography cannot show all arms projects. Commenting on President Eis enhower's proposal at Geneva, the designer said that not every thing can be seen from the air. The 30-year-old engineer, who asked that his name not be re vealed for security reasons, was skeptical. "How can the Americans be lieve," he asked, "that if the Russians accepted this . . . offer they would not hide a number of their important factories and plants underground?" The engineer spoke from his own knowledge of Sweden's only aircraft plant, a great fac tory cut into the side of a rock cliff in the southern part of the country.
