Bump on Head During
Tour of Oregon Caves
Brings Back Use of Eye
Oregon Caves National Monument Mrs. Mary Brown,
60, has been virtually blind in her right eye since it was
injured in an accident when she was 2 years old.
Yesterday, while en route from Spokane, Wash., to her
new home in San Jose, Calif., she visited the caves. She
and her sister were part of a group going through the na
tional monument, and in the "Paradise Lost" gallery, they
accidentally jostled each other. Mrs. Brown's glasses fell
off and into a cranny several feet below.
Undaunted, Mrs. Brown continued the tour. But, on the
way, she struck her head sharply against "Headache Rock,"
the name of which is self-explanatory.
When she finally emerged from the caves, she gave a gasp
of amazement. For the first time in 58 years she could see
from her right eye could detect color and see objects
clearly, where before she could only tell light from dark.
Although a ranger recovered her glasses, Mrs. Brown
continued her journey, hoping she would not need them
any more.

propaganda move.
Krushchev touched off con
siderable surprise and specu
lation in Western circles with
his latest letter, delivered to
the White House Saturday.
'Serious Doubts'
In the letter, according to
an announcenent by the offi
cial Soviet news agency Tass
in Moscow Sunday, Khrush
chev said that despite "serious
doubts" Russia was willing to
hold technical talks with the
United States aimed at ending
nuclear weapons tests.
The White House, acting
with extraordinary speed, is
sued a statement Sunday say
ing Krushchev's letter "seems
to recognize" the validity of
the long-held Western view
that study of technical aspects
of disarmament should begin
soon and might lead to prog
ress on disarmament itself.
But the statement noted
Khrushchev's offer involved
only the issue of nuclear test
suspension and not "the more
important elements of disarm
ament" which the West and a
majority of the United Na
tions Assembly have en
dorsed. Careful Study
"It is to be hoped," the
White House statement said,
"that this acceptance presages
agreement to begin similar
discussions on other measures
of disarmament. Premier
Khrushchev's letter will of
course receive careful study
and will be the subject of
early consultation with our
allies."
The 'letter occasioned sur
prise here since Khrushchev's
previous letter to Eisenhower
April 22 appeared to reject
technical disarmament studies
prior to a firm agreement on
a nuclear test halt.

Reciprocal Trade
Renewal Stressed
In Dulles Speech
Step Said Necessary
For Peace, Prosperity
Minneapolis (IP) Secre
tary of State John Foster
Dulles urged a five-year re
newal of the Reciprocal Trade
agreements act to. help the
world achieve peaceful pros
perity. Dulles spoke yesterday at
the University of Minnesota
stadium to climax Minneso
ta's gala statehood centennial
celebration.
His plea for greater worfd
trade echoed similar appeals
by almost every visiting
Scandinavian dignitary at
tending the. celebration.
Among the most outspoken
trade boosters along with
Dulles were Prince Bertil of
Sweden and Danish Prime
Minister H. C. Hansen.
Necessary for Peace
Dulles said renewal of the
trade act "is necessary both
for our economic welfare and
for our peace."
The world cannot survive
in peaceful prosperity, Dul
les warned, if each nation
emphasizes only its independ
ence and neglects interdepen
dence. 1
He said the trade program
contributes to the United
State's political and military
security. He cited the early
1930s as an example of what
could happen, if the U. S.
turned its back on interna
tional trade.
Relief from Depression
"In the 30s we sought re
lief from economic depression
by raising our tariffs and de
valuating our currency with
out regard to the effect this
would have on others . who
were largely dependent on in
ternational trade," Dulles
said.
He said Germany and Jan-
an took this U. S. example
as a justification for policies
of extreme nationalism and of
expansion, on the theorv that
economic livelihood was no
longer obtainable by normal
methods of peaceful trade."

Assessor Explains
Permanent Tax Base
Needed for Future
A permanent county tax
base, on which voters will de- J
cide Friday, is needed to cov
er the county's requirements
for several years without
drawing on any of the reserve
funds, County Assessor Ray
Schumacher explained today.
As explained on the sam
ple non-partisan ballot, pur
pose of the county measure
providing a permanent tax
base "is to establish the pres
ent county tax base of $652,
386.68 as a permanent county
tax base of $652,386.68 under
amended articles of the state
constitution. Under the re
vised constitutional provision
it is necessary to levy taxes at
least once every three years
for the sole purpose of pre-,
serving the tax base, unless
a permanent tax base has
been established. If a perma-
Soft Drink Theft

Demo Leader Sees
Defeat of Norblad
Portland (IP) Paul But
ler, Democratic national
chairman, predicted Sunday
the Democratic party will
gain 40 seats in Congress in
the fall elections, most of
them outside the South.
Butler, who stopped in
Portland briefly to Confer
with Oregon Democratic
leaders before continuing a
sweep of the Northwest and
California, predicted one of
the seats they will gain is the
one held by Walter Norblad,
Republican from Oregon's 1st
congressional district.
Salem (IP) Oregon roads
were generally clear today.
nent tax -tase 'is established,
taxes will only have to be
levied when funds are needed
to meet county obligations,"
the explanation on the ballot
states.
Voter Approval Needed
Such a tax levy would have
to be approved by the county
voters, the assessor added. A
tax base is the maximum
amount which can be levied
by a taxing district without
a vote of the people, Schu
macher explained. .
'.'Under the old law, prior
to -the constitutional amend
ment, the tax base could be
automatically increased by 6
per cent each year indefi
nitely," the county assessor
explained further. "Now un
der the new law that doesn't
have to be done only when
a new base is needed."
"The reserve money in the
county treasury is not a
fund administrative officers
can draw upon at their con
venience," Schumacher stress
ed. "Funds taken from it must
be budgeted same as any oth
er money, bucn a reserve is
merely an insurance that fu
ture financial requirements of
the county can be met."
Amount Determined
County Judge Rodney Keat
ing explained the amount for
the ntw tax base was de
termined by taking the pres
ent tax base .and increasing
it by 6 per cent as allowed
under the state constitution.
He said it is . the same total
which automatically would
have been established for the
new fiscal year under the old
law.
Members of the county
court said the base would be
flexible enough to cover the
needs of the county for sev
eral years providing there is
no great expansion of popula
tion and federal timber re
cepits remain "pretty much
the same," Keating said.
"If the measure passes, the
county will have sufficient
funds on hand to pay for its
operations without levying
any taxes, but at the same
time a realistic tax base will
be preserved if it is ever need
ed due to declining federal
forst revenues." '
County Commissioner Ches
ter Wendt said estimates from
the bureau of land manage
ment place possible federal
timber receipts to be paid the
county in September at
$1,580,000.

v Clash in Capital
Beirut (IP) Anti-government
mobs set fire to the

Service, library in Beirut to-.
day. The mobs battled troops
in riots supporting opposition
demands that pro-Western
President Camile Chamoun
quit. .
The library is situated in
the Basta (Moslem) quarter of ,
the city.
It was the second U.S.I.S. .
library attacked in Lebanon
in three days. Last Saturday
other ripters sacked and burn
ed the five-room, one-story
U.S.I.S. library building in the
port of Tripoli, second largest
city in the country. Today's '
incident followed the same
pattern of destruction.
The firing of the library, in
a building rented from a
Lebanese landloard, was one
of many incidents throughout '
the country in a day of riot
ing.
Face Heavy Toll
Troops clashed with rioters
in the capital and elsewhere
today as violence continued
into . its fourth day. No
casualty figures were avail
able but it was feared they .
might be heavy.
Opposition leaders handed'
the government an ultimatum .
today demanding that it "re-,
sign immediately," but aides
refused to pass it on to Cha
moun.
Sources said Chamoun is
determined to keep his gov
ernment in. office, and clamp
down on mob violence.
Meanwhile, Cairo and Da
mascus radios blared repeated
calls to Lebanese listeners
during the day to "revolt
against the forces of imperial
ism and its agents."
Urged to Fight
The Lebanese were urged,
to go into the streets to fight
the Chamoun regime. , -This
troubled nation was in
the grip of a paralyzing gen
eral strike which was said to
be 100 per cent effective. It
was called after two days of,
rioting, in Tripoli, during
which an estimated 20 persons
were killed.
' Heavy fighting accompan
ied by shooting broke out be-'
tween troops and rioters in
the Moslem outskirts of this
city, the opposition stronghold
in the capital.
By afternoon, Lebanese
Army units reinforced with
armored equipment, appeared
to be in complete control of
Beirut and Tripoli, the na
tion's two largest cities.
Curfew Ordered
The government ordered a ,
dusk-to-dawn curfew tonight
and was reported preparing to
ask parliament Tuesday for
emergency powers including
martial law.
Sources said at least seven
persons were killed in this
morning's street f ighting.
There also were unconfirmed
reports of fighting in moun
tain villages in the northeast
portion of the country be-,
tween . pro and anti-govern-'
ment civilian groups.
One report, ; also uncon
firmed, said that between 300
and 400 Syrian tribesmen in
filtrated Lebanon near Baal
beck and now are fighting
with army units.

A short time later, Dr. Linus

the scientists with making,

dangers from the tests.r
