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withdrawn after the overwhelm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.

WOODY SMITH
Trouble With Truckload of Trees
Woody Smith Resumes
Trip to Los Angeles
With Christmas Tree
Woody Smith, independent
service station operator in Hood
River who was defeated by Sen
ator Wayne Morse in last
spring's primary, planned to
leave Medford this afternoon
with a load of Christmas trees
he thought about giving away.
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.
According to statements made
lo police the youth entered the
shop and asked to see a .22 cali
ber pistol. He then told proprie
tor Cliff McQuiston he would
take the pistol and shells to go
with it. The youth then, accord
ing to officers, told McQuiston
it was a hola up and asked for
his money.
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." .
