Price 10c No. 227 itch jary Failure To Win Popular Support Declared Cause Middle East Sources Doubt Change Coming United Nations, N.Y. (U.R) East European sources said to day Communist Hungarian For eign Minister Imre Horvath, who walked out of the U.N. de bate on his stricken homeland, will return soon to Budapest to replace Janos Kadar as premier. There have been recurrent re ports even in Hungary itself that the Russians were ready to "dump" Kadar in view of his failure to win even a semblance of popular support and end op position resistance. The Hungarian delegation to the United Nations professed no knowledge of the report here and said Horvath had no plan's to leave New York today. Hor vath himself could not be reached immediately lor com ment. Sources Doubt Switch Middle East sources doubted the Horvath-fo'r-Kadar switch on the grounds that the Soviets would never let such informa tion leak in advance. The mild-looking Horvath ar rived in New York last month to take charge of the Hungarian puppet regime's delegation while the United Nations was debating Soviet armed mterven t i o n against the Hungarian people. , He walked out If the General Assembly last Tuesday charging his government had been "rude ly and disgracefully offended' by the debate. He said the as sembly debate violated the U.N. charter and his delegation would boycott the body as long as such discussion continued. The walkout had no effect on the assembly. It voted 55 to 8 Wednesday night to condemn the Soviet Union for "depriving Hungary ot its liberty and independence." There were 13 abstentions: Yugoslavia, Finland and 11 members of the Asian-African bloc, including India. Only tne eight nation Soviet bloc voted against the resolution. It was the strongest measure yet approved by the assembly in the Hungarian debate. A four power Asian resolution was withdrawn after the overwhelm ing approval of the condemna tion resolution sponsored by the United States and 19 "other nations. 32 Bloodmobile Appointments Made Thirty-two appointments have been made to date by donors for the Dec. 18 Bloodmobile visit in Mfriford. The Eloodmobile unit will be in front of the Elks temple in Medfnrd from 1 to 5 p.m. that day. Quota for this visit is 200 pints, for which 250 donors will be needed. Officials expressed concern today that more ap pointments have not been made. Appointments may be made by telephoning Bloodmobile headquarters, Medford 3-3313. Freedom Charter For East European Nations Proposed West German Proposal Has Backing of U.S. Paris (U.R) West Germany today proposed a "charter of freedom" for Eastern European nations to win independence from Soviet rule. The move had strong U.S. backing. Te German proposal w?s made by Foreign Minister Heinrich von Brcntano at today's secret NATO Council meeting and won immediate and full backing by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Endorsed by Ministers Dulles urged the council to write this "declaration of inde pendence" into the final com munique of the NATO .meeting as a solemn resolve of the At lantic community. The NATO ministers promptly gave the German proposal their implicit endorsement by agree ing to Dulles' suggestion. The NATO ministers also adopted a three-nation proposal today that would weld- the seven-year-old alliance into a compact political unit capable of common action inside and outside NATO's geographical boundaries. The "freedom charter should call for peace and freedom for all European nations and all countries under foreign domina tion and promise everyone a life in freedom, Brentano said. But he warned that freedom for the nations behind the iron curtain should not be sought by economic, political, or military pressure or force. The pressure should be moral, he said, reflect ing a point made earlier this week by Dulles. Not Call To Arms NATO spokesmen stressed that the declaration was in no way a call to arms in Eastern. Europe. They said it was not NATO's in tent to cr.couraee in any way military uprisings in Eastern Europe. The Brentano plan included five principles: 1. All peace loving peoples shall support the rights of the Eastern European nations to self determination and self-government in full freedom. 2. The political order in the countries of Eastern Europe shall be based on national independ ence, sovereignty and the bar ring of imperialist subjugation of small nations. The Right To Decide 3. All nations of Eastern Eu rope shall have the right to de cide for themselves in full free dom the social order in their ter ritories. 4. The internal development of the countries of Eastern Eu rope shall not be influenced by military force or threats or by economic and political pressure. 5. The human rights of the countries of Eastern Europe shall be inviolable. He said the Soviet Union could sign such a declaration without loss of prestige. Reeder to Replace Secretary, Deputy Thomas Reeder, who will suc ceed Walter D. Nunley as dis trict attorney on Jan. 7, has stated he will hire a new head secretary for his office and will hire Qne new deputy district at torney. Mrs. Elsie Grove, present head secretary in the district at torney's office, was informed in a letter this week that she would be replaced. Reeder said he has someone in mind for the posi tion but is not at liberty to dis close the name at this time. The new deputy will replace Alan Holmes, who took the posi tion a year ago with the under standing he would resign this January. Mrs. Muriel McNeil, the only other secretary in the office, will be retained, Reeder said. He added that he plans to retain Al Franzke as deputy dis trict attorney.

Smith received 39.000 votes against Senator Morse last spring, and recently has made attempts in Oregon courts to de clare Morse "fraudulent" as a Democratic candidate. Smith's 2 V 2 -ton truck broke down in Medford Monday noon on South Central ave. Hie frame channel irons buckled on both sides, and since then has been repairing the truck. Selvage Some Loss He said if the truck could not be repaired, he would give away the Christmas trees, and salvage some of the loss by accepting contributions from those taking trees. However, the truck was ex pected to be repaired early this afternoon, and Smith planned to continue to Los Angeles. Commenting on his efforts to declare Morse a fraudulent Democratic senator. Smith said "I have not quit and I am not defeated." "Morse used fraud to get elected," he charged, "and I intend to appear before con gress and prove why, since Ore gon courts have refused to rend er a decision." As a result, Smith said, he has appealed his case against Morse to the U. S. circuit court of appeals. However, Smith add ed, action on the case is pending payment of filing fees. He said he has not been able to afford the fees yet and if they are not paid soon the case will be dismissed. Filing fees are S105, according to Smith, and the fee deadline was Dec. I. He has no immediate plans to ap pear before congress, he said. Explaining his view of the stand Oregon courts have taken on his senate fight. Smith said Morse has told him "the courts ruled again you." But, he stated, "I want it known that the courts have neither ruled for nor against me." Youth, I6r Arrested Following Robbery A 16-year-old boy, who gave a Central Point rural address, was being held today on a charge of attempted armed rob bery, city police reported. Officers said that the youth was arrested on Table Rock rd. at 11:45 a.m., about 45 minutes after the alleged hold-up'attempt occurred at Cliff's Sport shop 317 North Riverside ave.

However, the boy backed down and fled, police said they were told. . . r -"-"---m'ni in m a iiitiiMif-f--" - " ' Smith painted rmt he was not trying to "capitalize on a legal technicality''ir unseating Mors. The Democratic aspirant adled he has gone in debt in his fight against Morse "for something I believ in." I've asked nothing in return from the people, he said, and have received n cam paign cotftributions, with the ex ception of one dollar. o It is Smith's view that "Morse is seeking Jo destroy the prin-' ciplcs nccessarv to the fotiida tions of representative govern ment." . Nixon Praises UN HarrdlingofTrouMe United Nations, N.Y. (U.R) Vice President Richard M. Nix on said today U.N.. handling of the Middle East and Hungarian situations is"one of the finest diplomatic achievements of our generation and perhaps of all time."
