TWELVE MEDFOnD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuridiy. 5pttmbtr 13. 135S U.S. Does Not Intend to Shoot .Vay Through Suez, Dulles Says Washington U.fi Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles said today the United States does not intend to shoot its way through the Suez Canal or enter any shooting war if Egypt tries to block the canal. , At the same time Dulles ap pealed to Egypt to accept the new Western sponsored "users association" to assure freedom of navigation in the canal. Dulles called the plan a basis for "a just, yet peaceful settlement" of the Suez crisis. Dulles said there is no Inten tion on the part of the West to impose a Suez settlement on Egypt. He said it is fantastic that anyone mijht think this the case Indian Prime Minister Jawahar lal Nehru earlier today criticized the "user association" plan as an "imposed solution" fraught with "grave consequences." ApproTvd By Eisenhower Dulles outlined the U. S. posi tion at a press conference packed by about 175 reporters. He read a 700-word prepared statement and . then answered questions. President Eisenhower approv ed Dulles' statement in advance during a telephone conference from his Gettysburg, Pa., farm this morning. Mr. Eisenhower will fly back here Friday to confer with Aus tralian Prime Minister Robert Cordon Menzies who headed a five-nation committee which tried vainly to sell Dulles' in ternationalization plan to Egypt. Dulles told reporters, in re sponse to questions, that the United States does not intend to try to shoot its way through the Suez Canal. He said if Egypt blocks the canal by force the United States does not intend to go into any shooting war. Would Avoid Canal He said American ships in that event would take the long way around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa instead of going through the Suez shortcut. He said this diversion would be more expensive, of course but that the United States be lieves, it would not be catastro phic. He said it has already been decided to take some U. S. tank ers out of the mothball reserve fleet to divert oil and other traf fic around Africa if anything should happen to deny passage of the canal. , Dulles said this country will join the proposed "users asso ciation" even if Britain and France are its only partners. He hoped it will be moving well toward organization next week. Dulles said that the United States has reason to be confi dent that at least some other na tions Besides the United States. Britain and France will join the new association. Faw Nations InToWtd However, he indicated these other partners may be few. He pointed out that five countries. Rritain. the United States, France, Italy and Norway, con trol 75 per cent of the shipping using the Suez Canal. Dulles' statement was designed to clear up reported "confusion" in foreign capitals over the U.S. position on the ''user associa tion" plan which was announced in the British Parliament Wednesday by Prime Minister Anthony Eden. Egypt has rejected the pro posal as a provocation "that would lead to war. An official Egyptian spokesman charged to day that "certain nations" in tend to commit aggression against Egypt's lawful rights. In Britain, there had been charges that "confusing" State Department statements on the U.S. position Wednesday had hampered Anglo-French efforts to end the Suez crisis and Eden's bid to win a vote of confidence tonight in the face of heavy La borite opposition to his Suez policies. Can Prot.cl Rights Dulles said the United States believes that if Egypt tries to interfere with a ship handled by the new users association, or re fuses to take measures to assure free navigation of the waterway, it would be a breach of the 1888 Suez treaty. In such a case, he said, shipping nations would be entitled to act through the Unit ed Nations or take such other ac tion as appropriate to protect their rights under the treaty. He declined to spell out what he meant by other appropriate action, on grounds that would de pend on circumstances as they developed. A reporter told Dulles that Eden had indicated Britain would brook no interference with the new users association and noted this seemed to be in conflict with Dulles' more mod erate statements today. Duties replied that he did not get the impression Eden had pledged to shoot Britain's way through the canal if necessary. But he also said that each na tion has to decide for itself what action to take to defend itself and the rights it believes it has under the treaty. Political Office Seekers Continue Outlined Fast Pace By UNITED PRESS Political office seekers in Ore gon continued the torrid pace they have outlined for them selves from now until November yesterday but on the whole the pace was cold to what's gone be fore and what's sure to follow.

Lebanon Mother Given Examination Lebanon. Ore. (U.R) A 30- year-old Lebanon mother who has admitted slaying her two tiny daughters was taken to the state hospital at Salem for psy chiatric examination. When officers asked Mrs. Hel ga Upham what impelled her to cut the throats of four-year-old Ruth and two-year-old Lois, yes terday, the mother replied, "I wish I knew." Her husband.

The Uphains were both born in India where their parents are Baptist mis sionaries. . Police Chief Ned Crippcn said his office got a call from Mrs. Upham in which she said. "Send police to my home.

Officials Dubious About Refloating Grays Harbor .U.R) Offic ials of the Coastwise Line, agent for the beached freighter Sea gate, seemed 'dubious today that the Liberian ship would be re floated. The Seagate, now resting in the sands 30 miles north of here, is flooded in all but the No. 6 compartment. Water would have to be pumped out and compart ments patched before a salvage attempt could be made. The 7.200-ton freighter orig inally grounded last Thursday on Sonora Reef but broke loose again Monday and floated to her present position. Her crew had been removed Thursday without incident. Two tugs, the Erik Foss and the A. G. Hubble were reported standing by until it is decided if the freighter can be refloated.

Police said John Heckenblack ner. 45. drove his car past a parking lot guard and sped onto a runway just as the plane, carrying 11 persons, was about to touch down. The pilot said he did not see the speeding car until his wheels were almost down and all he could do was hope. He said the car passed beneath his left wing tip. missing the out board propeller by what seemed to be inches. Port authority police drove after the driver, halted his car and placed him under arrest. He was turned over to city police who booked him on a felony charge of drunk driving. About 4 800 persons are en gaged in the leather industries in Canada. L. Neuberger for the recovery of A! Sarcna ore specimens from the Rogue river. Fayette I. Bristol, president of the Oregon Mining Association, said that Neuberger is "abysmal ly ignorant of flood control and mineral production problems." He explained it is "settled prac tice" of assay teams to dispose of the retained half of such samples as soon as as5ay certifi cates on the other half have been completed. Offered Reward Neuberger offered the reward to anyone who could find the ore samples tossed into the river. He said if the money is unclaim ed it will go to Oregon College of Education. Sen. Wayne Morse, seeking reelection to his post in the Sen ate, yesterday bolstered his campaign staff. The senior Ore gon senator announced the ap pointment of Al Hoffard of Portland as press secretary for his campaign. Phil Hitchcock, who lost to Douglas McKay in the primary for the Republican senatorial nomination, spoke out for Mc Kay yesterday. "There is no such thing as a 'common man' in the political philosophy of the Republican party," Hitchcock told a Port land group. "We see people as individuals each with his own needs and aspirations, each with his own right to make his own decision in matters of closely personal nature, rather than having these decisions imposed on him by his government," he added. Mors Charga Morse charged yesterday- that it took an election year for Mc Kay and the White House to hear the voice of the National Park service. Morse's charge followed a re lease earlier this week from the Interior Department that out lined a new park rehabilitation program and traced origin of the program to recommendations made by McKay. Morse asserted that it was due to a Democratic Congress that nearly six million dollars was approved for development and rehabilitation at Crater Lake national park.

Selective Admission May Be Instituted For State Colleges Eugene Superintendents and principals of Oregon high schools have been advised that new selective admission require ments for state institotions of higher education may be insti tuted in the future. In a letter signed by Dr. Earl M. Pallet, secretary of the state board of higher eduaction, it was pointed out that because of sharp increases in enrollments during the past years and the ex pectation of continuation at an accelerated rate, officials of the state instiutions are cooperating in the preparation of a plan for selective admission of students. Details Not Compl.f. "The details have not been completed, but the objective will be to restrict admission to those high school graduates who show promise of academic success in college," the letter reads. "It is probable that considera tion will be given to the type of work taken in high school and the actual performance, in terms of grades, on that work," Pal lett's letter continues. He said de tails on the final selective admis sion plan will probably be com pleted in the next two months and become effective in Septem ber of 1957. Under present regulations any graduate of an accredited Ore gon high school is eligible for ad- ; mission to a state institution of higher education. But with en rollment increases, officials fear facilities and faculties will not be sufficient to meet the demands unless the "open door" provis ions are modified.
