Gusty Winds, Rain
Common in Oregon
By UNITED PRESS
Winter made a pre-sason bow
in Washington and northern
Idaho while Oregon got heavy
precipitation and forecasts of
more to come today.
An arctic air mass moved in
to the north of Oregon, leaving
snowfalls in eastern Washington
and northern Idaho and sending
temperatures plunged to the low
20s.
Snow Snarls Traffic
Traffic was snarled over a
wide area as four inches of snow
fell in Spokane to break an Oc
tober snowfall record set in 1933.
Lesser amounts were reported
at Colville, Ephrata, Moses Lake,
Ellensburg and other eastern
Washington cities. Washington's
mountain passes got a heavy fall,
stalling traffic.
Streets and highways were
dangerously slick and the State
Patrol warned motorists to stay
home if possible.
Schools were closed in the
Spokane valley. In northern
Idaho schools closed near Bon
ders Ferry. Sandpoint. Rathrirum
and Post Falls. Snowfalls in the
Idaho panhandle ranged from
three io 12 inches.
The forecast called for mod
erating temperatures in that reg
ion with highs reaching the 40s
Thursday.
Rain in Oregon
In Oregon gusfy winds and
rainfall were common as a Paci
fic storm moved in. Gusts up to
50. miles per hour were forecast
for the Columbia Gorge today
and up to 40 miles per hour off
the coast.
The weather bureau said pre
cipitation would be heavier than
normal for the season for the
next five davs.

Crisis ww
United Nations, N.Y. W
Syria, which has rejected all
mediation efforts in its dispute
with Turkey, today reluctantly
agreed to give King Saud of
Saudi Arabia three days to set
tle it.
The Syrians did not say they
accepted Saud's mediation of
fer, which already has been
agreed to by Turkey. But they
voted for adjournment of the
United Nations General Assem
bly debate on the Middle East
"war crisis" until Friday.
The adjournment proposal
came at the end of one of the
most menacing attacks on the
United States Russia has deliv
ered in the UN since the height
of the cold war.
Charges U.S. Instigation
In it, Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko charged that
Turkey, at American instigation,
was ready to attack Syria with
1,300 warplanes, 1,400 tanks.
3,500 artillery pieces and other
equipment totalling about S2
billion worth supplied by the
United States and not yet paid
for.
U. S. Ambassador Henry Ca
bot Lodge, appealing for the
assembly to adjourn proceedings
to give King Saud time to me
diate, accused Gromyko of "play
ing a game."
Despite "soothing statements,"
Gromyko said, the United Stales
was attempting to have Turkey
start a major war and drag in
the entire North Atlantic Treaty
organization.
"Merely for the record," said
Lodge, "I will say that the heart
of the North Atlantic Treaty is
the statement that an attack on
one is an attack on all. In other
words, we stay where we are
attacked . . .
"Remember that the North
Atlantic Treaty was only evolv
ed after the Soviet Union had
gobbled up Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Evidence Indicates
Visitors at Campus

Ashland Proof was not

their campus had been visited
during the night by represen

Education.
The letters "OCE" were cut
into the lurf in the center of
Fuller field where football
teams of the two schools vie on
Saturday afternoon. An effigy
was hung on the north goal
post bearing the names of
"Maurer." "Romine," and
"Akins." Ron and Larry Maur

Southern Oregon gridders.
"OCE 57 Champs" was
painted on the press box and
"OCE Champs" on the gym
nasium door. A yellow streak
was painted down the dressing
room door.
No one was caught in the
act of cutting the turf or doing
the painting and, if the cul
prits were from, the Monmouth
school, they apparently had de
parted from Ashland by the
time the vandalism was dis
covered. The Saturday game is a cru

400 Cases of Flu
At Fairview Home
Salem OPi About 400 cases
of what was thought to be Asian
flu were reported at Fairview
home for the mentally retarded
here today. x
Dr. Weldon C. Boge, the insti
tution's medical director, said
that mentally deficient children
do not resist infection as well
as normal children do.
He said the medical problem
was complicated by the fact that
delivery of vaccine against the
flu was delayed although it was
ordered through the State Fi
nance Department several
months ago.
Because not enough of the
vaccine was available, Dr. Boge
said the state had had to spend
larger sums of money on anti
biotic drugs to fight the flu.

United States To
Reappraise Aid
To Yugoslavia
Final Decision
Yet To Be Made
Washington OP) The United
States announced today that it
is "reappraising" its military and
economic aid programs for Yu
goslavia. But State Department spokes
man Lincoln White said that so
far as he knows no final decision
has yet been made. He said previ
ously planned shipments of jet
aircraft, spare military parts and
surplus agricultural commodi
ties are proceeding to the Tito
government.
White said the reappraisal is
taking place because of "recent
developments." He did not spell
these out but presumably re
ferred principally to Yugoslav
ia recognition of the Commu
nist puppet government of East
Germany.
Move Approved
West Germany has broken off
diplomatic relations with Yugo-1
slavia as a result of the Yugoslav
action. The United States has ex
pressed general approval of
West Germany's move. .
U. S. authorities feared the ac
tion by Yugoslavia might set off
a chain reatcion in which other
governments would recognize
East Germany and" "thereby perv
petuate the division of Germany.
White said that although the
United States is taking a new
look at its aid programs for
Yugoslavia, as far as he knows
scheduled talks with the Yugo
slavs on possible new shipments
of U. S. surplus farm commod-1
ities will proceed. He did not
know when those talks would
begin.
To Discuss Aspects
White was asked to comment
on the Yugoslav aid program as
a result of a London report that
the State Department already has
decided to suspend all economic
and most military aid to Yugo
slavia. He said, "In the light of re
cent developments we are reap
praising our program with Yu
goslavia. We expect to discuss
the various aspects of this mat
ter with the Yugoslavs but when
this will take place I do not
know at the moment."

Wages Is Slated
A representative of the Ore

salaries paid for similar jobs
throughout the state, James ex
plained. Such a study would in
clude an examination of work
loads in each of the offices,
James added.
' Cost is estimated at $1,500.
A total of 53,500 is allocated in
the current county budget.
This study will be similar to
the one made in the city offices

James said. Time required for
the on-the-spot study will be
about three weeks, he said.

Sputnik, Syria
Will Be Topics
For Discussion
Proposals Planned
To Strengthen Position
Washington Iff) British
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
lan and President Eisenhower
flew here today for summit
talks on Russia's twin challenges
Sputnik and Syria.
Eisenhower returned from a
New York speaking engagement
with ilans to lead a "chin up"
campaign to bolster America's
confidence in its economic, sci
entific and military strength.
Macmillan landed 30 minutes
later, on a direct flight from
London. It was reported that he
carried concrete proposals for
Anglo-American partnership in
space missile development,
stronger inter-Allied scientific
cooperation through NATO, and
a common front against Russia's
Middle East propaganda offen
sive. Met at Airport
The two leaders will meet in
three days of informal talks be
ginning this afternoon.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles and Adm. Lewis Strauss,
chairman of the Atomic Energy
commission, met the British
Prime Minister at the airport.
Both Eisenhower and MacMil
lan gave advance signs of offer
ing concrete proposals to
strengthen the West's position.
Macmillan is expected to pre
sent now proposals for Anglo
American scientific cooperation,
'centering on nuclear weapons
development. Eisenhower has in
dicated he will seek better scien
tific teamwork between the two
nations.
Both American and British of
ficials hoped to capitalize on the
goodwill created by Queen Eliza
beth's visit to this country to
hammer out important new
Anglo-American accords on ma
jor world issues.
British Foreign Minister Sel
wyn Lloyd, who has been here
several days, and Dulles were
scheduled to attend the opening
meeting and an informal dinner
to follow.
Macmillan's visit was arrang
ed soon after Russia's earth
satellite was launched Oct. 4. It
was announced while Britain"s
Queen Elizabeth II was visiting
North America.
' While the "big two" talks
were expected to place consid
erable emphasis on speeding
Western military and scientific
advances in the ligh,t of the So
viet achievement, the occasion
will give the two leaders and
their advisers a chance to can
vass the explosive Middle East
situation.
Oppose Summit Talks
Diplomats were cool to a re
port from London that Macmil
lan will urge a new top level
meeting with the Russians. The
Eisenhower administration op
poses three-power "summit"
talks at a time when the Reds
are likely to be tougher negoti
ators than before their satellite
success.
It seems likely President Eis
enhower is ready to assure Mac
millan the administration will
seek amendments in the 1946
Atomic Energy act when Con
gress convenes in January. Such
amendments would clear the
way for closer nuclear coopera
tion with Britain and other t ree
Nations.
Southern Pacific
Court Case Upheld
Salem OP) The State Su
preme Court today upheld a
Douglas County Circuit Court
decision for Southern Pacific
company, despite a jury verdict
of 55,000 for Harry C. Marks.
Marks was executor of the
will of John E. Marks, who was
killed when his truck stalled on
railroad tracks and was hit by a
train.
In an opinion by Justice
George Rossman, the court held
that the train had given repeat
ed blasts with its whistle, but
that Marks had failed to get out
of his truck until it was too late.
The court said that Engineer
Clarence W. Wilson did all he
could to avoid hitting Marks.
