Medford United Press Full Leased Wire 50th Year 16 Pages MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, France Proposes Compromise Plan For Disarmament Three Principles Urged for Guidance United ' Nations, N.Y. (U.R) France today emphasized that control is the key to disarma ment and proposed a compromise plan to the U. N. Disarmament Commission. French Delegate Jules Moch told a meeting of the 12-nation " commission that he was not put ting his plan up as a "working paper', at this time, but suggest ing it for study. Thre Principles The commission in is search for a disarmament plan should be guided by three principles, Moch said. "No control without disarma ment; no disarmament without control; but, progressively, all disarmament that can be cur rently controlled." The overall plan, he said, would center around suggestions made by Britain, France and Russia in early meetings. These would reduce by half convex tional armaments and armed for ces and then end the manufac ture of all kinds of nuclear wea pons and other prohibited wea pons. The heads of government pro posals were: By President Eis enhower aerial inspection of Russia and the United States by "open sky" reconnaissance flight and an exchange of military blueprints; by British Premier Anthony Eden the setting up of a "pilot zone" for inspection and limitation of armed forces; and by French Premier Edgar Faure a gradual reduction of military budgets. France currently is boycotting the UN General Assembly be cause of its decision to debate the Algerian question, which the French consider a purely inter nal matter. France has, however, maintained its membership in the Security council, the Trustee ship council and the Disarma-j ment commission.

The Chamber of Deputies' Judicial committee took under consider ation early today a bill declar ing a state of siege which would put Brazil under military con trol for 30 days. The bill was introduced at a special session of the house by Acting President Nereu Ramos at suggestion of army leaders who wish to ensure the inaugu ration of President-Elect Jescel ino Kubitschek on Jan. 31 and prevent another presidential crisis.

Quinault reservation were too low. Weaver said the Indian service made a new appraisal this year starting last February and an adjustment was made in the prices under the contract on Oct. 1. Rep. Claire Hoffman (R-Mich.) again charged today that politics was behind the inquiry. Neu berger replied that Hoffman was the only person injecting poli tics into the hearing.

Harriman also took the Eisen hower administration to task for Milwaukee, Ore. (U.P.) Ex-State Sen. Phil Hitchcock last night declared the people of Oregon "do not need the advice of the governor of New York" in deciding how to vote in the 1956 senatorial race. Hitchcock's remarks, ad dressed io the Clackamas County Republican, club, were. ; made while New York Gov. Averell Harriman was address ing a Democratic dinner at Milwaukie Union High school. "It is interesting io note." Hitchcock said, "that this is the same man that the chair man of the Oregon Democratic Central Committee recently characterized as lacking in po litical morality and charged was the stooge of Carmine De Sapio, boss of the most notor ious political machine in American history." its "utter neglect of agriculture" and its attitude toward educa tion, health and housing. Harriman told his power con scious audience that Democrats always have favored public de velopment of such resources as Columbia river while Republi cans favor turning them over to "giant corporations." ' Wilson fought and won in 1912 but we had to fight and win again in 1932 to break up once more a Republican partnership between big business and the government. And we will be fighting for that objective again next year." He said nothing so symboliz ed the administration's "give away philosophy" as its handling of the power project at Hells Canyon where Idaho Power com pany has been given the go-ahead to build two small dams. Harriman said the "partner ship between big business and government can be seen on every side. Farmers Neglected "You see. it in the utter neg lect of agriculture, in Republican politics which deliberately - and callously drive down farm pric es and income and force families off the land, plowing farmers under at a time when corpora tions are making record profits" he said. "You see it in the Repub lican tax cuts, under which 80 per cent of the people received only 9 per cent of the benefits. "You see it in the Republican failure to make good on their promises to labor and in the Re publican fight against a reason able minimum wage a fight our Democrats in Congress for tunately won."

This week, since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, the driver must identify himself by Friday noon by calling either 3-5643 or 2-2441. 9 o'clock Tonight Agreement on Idea Of Freeing Soviet Satellites Cited Distortion Charged By Yugoslav Radio Washington U.R) Yugoslavia has branded as "false" and "dis torted" reports that Marshal Tito agreed with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles that So viet satellites should be freed. The nation's state-controlled radio charged that Western newspapers deliberately tried to "persuade the public that Yugo slavia had agreed to the proble matic conception of changing the . status of the East European, countries by force." Interpretations Yugoslavia's objections grew out of interpretations placed on a statement made by Dulles at the conclusion of his recent talks with Tito. While Tito nodded agreement Dulles said: "We ar rived at the joint accord that it is necessary to recognize the im portance of the independence of those Eastern European coun tries, non-interference from abroad in their internal prob lems, and the right for them to choose according to their free will their economic and social order." Some American newspapers interpreted this as a pledge bv Tito to help in the U.S. campaign to free the satellites from Rus sia s grip. Tugoslavia Embarrassed - c -American officials said these interpretations embarrassed Yu goslavia in her improved rela tions with Russia. The Yugoslav radio flatly de nied that Tito "accepted the American thesis on the attitude toward the Eastern EuroDean countries." "These interpretations are wrong and biased because this was not discussed at Brioni and the question connected with the East European countries were " not presented in this way," the Yugoslav radio said. The broadcast said Yugoslavia has maintained international re lations must be based on "mutual respect and non-interference in internal affairs." It said Dulles was accepting this point of view inhis statement." " v Kefauver Feels Like Making Race Stonewall, Tex. (U.R) Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said today,- "I feel very much inclined to make the race" for the Demo cratic presidential ' nomination next year. Kefauver met newsmen at the ranch of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson.

Johnson confidently predicted Republican members of the Sen ate will join with Democrats to enact farm legislation restoring 90 per cent parity to basic comT modifies and would extend cov erage to other, crops not prev iously included. He expressed belief that ac tion on farm legislation will take place soon after Congress convenes early in January. Kefauver, who bagged a 10- point buck earlier in the day, laughingly expressed hope to newsmen that his luck would be as good if he decided to seek the presidential, nomination.
