Annoys U.S. Officials
Washington U.P.) U.S. offi
cials expressed dismay and an
noyance today that Britain and
France did not consult the Unit
ed States about their plan to
(end. troops into the Suez area
unless Israeli-Egyptian fighting
tops.
Some viewed the surprise
move as an excuse to get Anglo
French troops back into the
Suez Canal area.
Others voiced suspicions that
Britain and France had secret
advance knowledge of Israeli's
plan to invade Egyptian terri
tory, and that they even may
have tacitly approved.
These officials noted that the
Uniied States was not informed
in advance about British-French
plans to send troops into the
Suez area unless fighting in
Egypt stops today.
Anglo-French failure to notify"
the United States was disclosed
earlier by the Stale Department
"We have no information on
that at all," Department Press
Officer Lincoln White told news
men. Britain and France announced
jointly they will send troops to
the Canal Zone unless Egypt
and Israeli stop fighting by 8:30
p.m. PST.

In Empty Chamber Violates
Portland .U.R) Controversy

ture illustrating Sen. Wayne
Morse addresing an empty Sen
ate chamber flared anew today
with a report from Life maga
zine that it believed the picture
to be copied from one of its pub
lications and a violation of its
copyright.

The picture has drawn the ire
of Democrats in the state who
charged that the picture had

The picture carried on a pam

Attempt Seen To
Trick Rebels Into
Laying Down Arms
Budapest Radio Tells
Of Soviet Evacuation
Vienna (U.R) Artillery and
mall arms fir broke out
anew in Budapest today and
the Hungarian Air Force
threatened to attack Soviet
troops unless they withdraw
from the city within 12 hours.
Vienna W.R) Strong Soviet
tanks units were reported pour
ing across the Czech border into
Hungary today, and it appeared
the Communists had tried once
again to trick the rebel army
into laying down its arms.
The Communist controlled
Budapest Radio announced this
morning that Soviet troops were
evacuating the bloodstained cap
ital and that nationalist rebels
were joining the Hungarian
Army in maintaining order.
But United Press Correspond
ent Russell Jones reported from
Budapest itself that "strong" So
viet forces were moving into the
country from Czechosluvukia in
what appeared to be the start of
a new Russian drive to crush the
rebellion.
Rebels Hold Out
Another United Press dis
patch from Budapest said the
grim, embattled insurgents still
were holding out today in the
narrow, slum streets surround
ing Budapest's massive univer
sity clinics.
Rebels told newsmen they
were interested only in the de
parture of the Russians and
there won't be peace here as
long as we can see a single Rus
sian tank."
For the first time in days, fir
ing could be heard across the
border at the Austro-Hungarian
frontier station at Michelsdorf
and Hungarian border authori
ties suddenly closed the border
against anyone who did not bear
a Hungarian visa.
Confusing Broadcasts
What this meant was not mi
mediately clear. Rebels might
now be mopping up isolated
units of Secret Police the reb
els have virtually controlled
Western Hungary since the
early days of the revolution.
Budapest Radio, whose an
nouncements have been both
confusing and wrong during the
seven-day-old rebellion, broad
cast a statement of the Commu
nist minister of the interior that
Soviet forces were .leaving the
martyred city of Budapest.

Believes Photo of Morse
Democrats have contended
that what the picture fails to
show is that parts of it have
been cut and in the portion left
out Sen. William Knowland (R.
Calif.) was shown debating witn
Morse. The debate covered in
the Life picture was during the
Atomic energy bill debate in the

UN Asked To Order Cease Fire
Eisenhower Cancels
Campaign Schedule
In Face of Crisis
With High Officials
President Confers
Washington (U.P.) Presi
dent Eisenhower today cancelled
his scheduled campaign trip to
the Southwest and South Wednes
day because of the Middle East
crisis.
Mr. Eisenhower was to have
made airport speeches at Dallas,
Tex., Oklahoma City, and Mem
phis Wednesday. But he tele
graphed his supporters at all
three cities today and said he
must remain at the White House.
"The turn of events yesterday
leaves me no option, in the in
terest of working for peace, but
to remain at the White House
Wednesday to deal with the sit
uation developing in the Middle
East," Mr. Eisenhower said.
Holds Conferences
Shortly after the telegram
was sent, Mr. Eisenhower con
ferred with Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles, Undersecre
tary Herbert Hoover Jr. and
other high officials on the Israeli
Egyptian fighting.
Mr. Eisenhower sped back to
Washington Monday night from
a campaign appearance in Rich
mond, Va., to confer with Dulles
and other top advisers on the
rapidly developing crisis in the
Middle East.
The White House announced
after Monday night's 90-minute
conference that "we will honor
our pledge" to help any victim
of aggression in the Arab-Israeli
dispute. The White House said,
however, that a decision on
whether to call Congress into
special session to decide whether
U.S. action- is required would
"be decided in the light of the
unfolding situation." Mr. Eisen
hower has said he would only
commit United Slates to mili
tary action if approved by Con
gress. Future Plans Uncertain
As a first step, the President
decided to take the Israeli at
tack before the U.N. Security
Council this morning.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty, announcing
cancellation of Wednesday's trip,
said Mr. Eisenhower'j future
campaigning must be on a day
to day basis.
Hagerty said he could not tell
now whether Mr. Eisenhower
will be able to keep his sched
uled appearance in Philadelphia
Thursday night or whether he
might work in a trip to Dallas,
Oklahoma City and Memphis on
another day between now and
the Nov. 6 election.

RETIRES Otto W. DeJarnett, above, assistant postmaster at
Medford, will retire after 37M years of service tomorrow. His
37Vi years have been in the local post office. He started as a
substitute postal clerk July 16, 1919, after his discharge from
the Army after World War I. He will be replaced by Earl H.
York, presently superintendent of mails. (See story page 14).
Freeway Decision May
Be Made Soon After
Jan. 1 Williams Says
A decision on the location of
the new Highway 99 freeway in
the Medford area probably will
be made shortly after the first
of the year, W. C. (Dutch) Wil
liams, state highway engineer,
said today.
Construction is tentatively
scheduled to start during 1959,
he said.
Williams, in a telephone call
to the Mail Tribune, indicated
there may have been some mis
understanding as to the highway
commission's intentions after a
hearing on the four route pro
posals last week, as to when a
decision can be expected.
Consider Testimony
The commission will consider
all of the testimony presented
at the hearing, Williams said, in
cluding the pro and con on all
four routes, and suggestions for
a foothills route. He added that
the commission will take plenty
of time to consider all aspects
and suggestions, but that he ex
pects a final decision to be made
within a few months.
Any implications that the com
mission now favors one or two
routes over the others is not
accurate, because the members
will have to consider testimony
before arriving at a decision,
Williams emphasized.
Asked if the commission has
considered a new Highway 99
route across the Tiller-Trail line,
between Myrtle Creek and Med
ford, Williams said it has been
considered and rejected. It is
mountainous terrain, the mileage
is approximately the same, and
for these and other reasons it is
no longer under study or con
sideration, Williams reported.
The freeway between Black-
well hill and Ashland, wnicn
ever route is chosen, will cost
between about $18 and $22 mil-J

Lodge Points To
Responsibility
To Restore Peace
U. S. Resolution To
Ask Troop Withdrawal
United Nations, N.Y. (U.R)
The United States asked the
U.N. Security Council today to
issue an immediate order for a
cease fire in the Israeli-Egyp-tion
fighting and for the with
drawal of Israel's troops to its
own borders.
U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr., opening the council's
extraordinary session on the
Palestine situation, said each
member has a "clear cut respon
sibility to take immediate meas
ures to restore peace" in the
Middle East. ,
U.S. To Submit Resolution
He gave notice that the United
States will submit a resolution
to the council this afternoon call
ing for the withdrawal of Israeli
forces 'and asking for steps to
insure that they are withdrawn.
Soviet Ambassador Arkay A.
Sobolev said Israel could not
have launched its attack "with
out encouragement and assist
ance from tnose aggressive cir
cles which are not interested in
peace in the Middle East and
are looking for any pretext to
bring their troops into the Mid
dle East."
He read to the council London
reports that Britain and France
had served notice they would
send troops into the Suez Canal
Zone if fighting is not stopped
within 12 hours.
"It is quite clear," the Russian
said, "that they took this step
without waiting for U.N. action
to intervene. The Security Coun
cil must act because it bears the
main responsibility for peace
and security."
Cease Fire Asked
Secretary - general Dag Ham
marskjold reported to the coun
cil that Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns
of Canada, chief of the U.N.
truce supervision organization in
Palestine, had asked for a cease
fire to be effective at noon, local
time, today.
He said Burns had pointed out
that both sides were bound to
keep the peace under the Pales
tine armistice agreement and the
cease fire arranged by Hammar
skjold himself last April.
"So far," he said, " I have no
information concerning any re
plies by the governments of
Israel and Egypt."
Four Brief Talks Given at
'Town, Country' Breakfast
Phoenix A "town and
country" breakfast sponsored by
the agriculture committee of
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce and Phoenix Grange
this morning at the Grange hall
drew an attendance of about 115
persons from all parts of the
county. Grants Pass was also
represented.
Melvin Lattie, master of Phoe
nix Grange, served as host and
Jennings Pierce as master of
ceremonies. Vaughn yuacken-
bush led singing.
Giving brief talks were Frank
Van Dyke, Medford attorney;
Chet Hubbard, Medford business
man; Walter Hoffbuhr, secretary-manager
of the Talent Irri
gation district; and Otto Ewald
sen, president of the chamber of
commerce.
Van Dyke, chairman of the
chamber's governmental op
tions committee, said the com
mittee attempts to help solve
tax problems. He commented
that the 6 per cent limitation
law no longer works as it was
meant to, and that the commit
tee believes the state should
work toward a more equitable
tax structure.
Hubbard, member of the high

Ultimatum Given
To Remove Forces
Within 12 Hours
Intervention Promised
To Secure Compliance
Jerusalem (U.P.) Britain and
France announced today they
will send troops into the Suez
Canal Zone unless Egypt and Is
rael quit fighting by 4:30 a.m.
tomorrow (8:30 p.m. PST to
night). The Anglo-French ultimatum
was disclosed by British Prime
Minister Anthony Eden in a
formal report to the House of
Commons in London.
Eden had conferred with
French Premier Guy Mollet and
their respective foreign minis
ters in the British capital before
he made his grave statement
against a background of fighting
on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
Eden said communications had
been sent to Cairo and Tel Aviv,
asking the Egyptian and Israeli
governments to "stop all warlike
action by land, sea and air forth
with and to withdraw their mil
itary forces to a distance of
10 miles from the canal."
"The governments of Egypt
and Israel have been asked to
answer this communication with
in 12 hours," Eden said.
If one or both of these nations
had not complied with this de
mand by that time, Eden said,
"British and French forces will
intervene in whatever strength
may be necessary to secure com
pliance." As Eden spoke, the battle sit
uation in the Egyptian-Israeli
conflict was fluid.
Egypt sent its Soviet-equipped
Air Force into action against
Israel'-s lightning drive which
had carried 126 miles inside
Egypt and only 12 miles short
of the Suez Canal. Air raid alerts
sounded twice in Cairo during
the day, indicating Israeli planes
also were aloft.
An Israeli announcement
said Israeli forces had captured
the Kusseima Road junction,
about six miles inside Egypt's
Sinai Desert area and far north
of the initial attacks Monday.
In a rash of rival claims,
Egypt said its forces had brought
the Israeli drive "to a complete
standstill" and Israeli said its
planes shot up Egyptian con
voys. Cairo reports said Egypt de
clared full mobilization, while
other nations of the Arab world
stood by to offer help if asked.
Britain and France, mean
while, made preparations to im
plement their ultimatum if that
step became necessary.
The British Mediterranean
Fleet cancelled exercizes to
day and was warned to stand by.
possibly for movement to the
Suez Canal.
The British Admiralty warned
all shipping tonight to steer
clear of the Suez Canal, as well
as Egyptian and Israeli waters,
"until further notice."
British and French troops sta
tioned on the Eastern Mediter
ranean islanc' of Cyprus were
alerted for possible swift move

so important to business and
commerce in this part of the
state, and for improvement of
the Crater Lake highway. The
committee is optimistic that the
Crater Lake highway program
will be undertaken by the state
in the near future, he said.
The irrigation official report
ed that two contracts have al
ready been let as a start on the
improvement and enlargement of
the Talent irrigation district;
work is now underway on the
Dead Indian tunnel, and the
contract for core drilling for the
Keene caeek dam has been
awarded.
When the entire project is
completed it will mean twice as
much water as the district has
been receiving, he added, and
an additional 5,000 acres can be
put under water.
The chamber president said
the prime purpose of the organ
ization was to promote the
economic welfare of the entire
county, and that the chamber
sought closer cooperation with
the rural sections.
Master Lattie closed the pro
gram by saying a second "town
and country" event would be
planned for next year, and that
the Grange would endeavor to
further closer cooperation be
