Russia vetoes the United
States resolution to send an
international police force into
Lebanon under the United
Nations flag. If that had been
done, U. S. troops would have
been withdrawn.
That happened in what is
known as the Security Coun

immediately to call the U.N.

send in an international police
force to handle the situation.

Knowland Lauds
Ike's Proposal
Washington (UPD Senate
Republican leader William F.
Knowland (Calif.) Tuesday
night praised President Eisen
hower's proposal for a top
level United Nations meeting
on the Mideast crisis as
"strong and forthright."
Congressional reaction to the
President's reply to Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrush
chev was generally favorable.
Knowland, a member of the
Senate Foreign Relations
, committe, said he thought the
proposal contained necessary
safeguards "to preserve the
peace, so nations wouldn't
live in fear of external ag
gression or external subver
sion." Knowland said Tuesday he
thought the U.S. could deal
a "fatal blow" to the inde
pendence of Lebanon by with
drawing troops unless armed
U.N. forces replaced them.
Democrats to give immedi
ate support to the President's
proposal were Sens. Mike
Mansfield (Mont.), Mike Mon
roney (Okla.), Warren Mag
nuson (Wash.) and J. William
Fulbright (Ark.).

step above the Security Coun
cil It COULD override the
Russian veto.
A word of advice:
Don't expect too much
in the way of constructive and
decisive action from United
Nations.
It's a rather weak reed to
lean on unfortunately.
T SUPPOSE you've noted the
- anti-American "demonstra
tion" in Moscow.
An "angry" mob of Russians
gathers in front of the Ameri
can embassy and, screams
"GET OUT OF LEBANON"
and throws stones and ink bot
tles. Russian troops are called
and quiet the mob of some
20,000 persons after all the
windows in the first three
stories of our embassy build
ing were smashed.
Don't, pay too much atten
tion to that as a sign of Ameri
can unpopularity. It's a part of
the communist war of nerves.
It wasn't spontaneous. It was
PUMPED UP for a purpose.
The communist authorities
passed the word to their
stooges to go and do it, so
they went and did it.
Dedicated communists are
disciplined and obedient.
Therein lies a lot of commu
nist Russia's power to do mis
chief in the world.
WHAT is it all about?
It's a tanirlpH mp
But here are the fundamentals:
RUSSIA'S purpose is to con
quer the world for com
munism.
Our purpose is to PRE
VENT the communization of
the world. We want to live in
a free world. We'll fight, if
we have to, to keep a free
world to live in!
''THERE are minor compli---
cations.
Khrushchev is a big caesar.
He wants to stay big.
Tito and Nasser are little
Caesars. They want to get
bigger. If it will serve their
purpose, they will throw in
with Khrushchev. Or, if they
think it will serve their pur
pose better, they will throw
in, with us.
Our NATO allies want to
remain free but with the pos
sible exception of Britain they
would like for us to do the
bulk of the fighting to keep
them free.
That's about the size of it.
President's Victory
On Reciprocal Trade
Bill May Increase
Washington (UPD Presi
dent Eisenhower's trade bill
victory is expected to become
even greater in final congres
sional action, it was indicated
today.
House and Senate conferees
were to meet soon to compro
mise the two versions of the
reciprocal trade bill. The Sen
ate Tuesday night handed the
President a major victory by
Mrs. Patty Davis,
Air Crash Victim,
Returns To Home
Fresno, Calif. (UPD Mrs.
Patty Davis, 35, and her hus
band came home Tuesday
night to an enthusiastic wel
come from some 200 friends
at the airport here.
Her happy smile belied
grim memories of an Oregon
plane crash three months ago.
She spent three freezing days
in the open with injuries that
caused loss of her left foot
and part of her right foot.
"It feels wonderful to be
back," she said.
Home by Plane
She left a John Day, Ore.,
hospital at noon Tuesday for
Fresno with her husband,
bandleader Bruce Davis, in a
twin-lengined Cessna similar
to the one in which ! they
crashed.
With them were their son,
Scott, 10, and Dr. Gerold Van
Der Vlugt, co-director of the
John Day hospital.
Dr. Martha Van Der Vlugt,
who remained in John Day,
said her husband went with
the Davises to assist in the fit
ting of the artificial limb in
California. "She was in real,
real good condition when she
left," according to "Dr. Mar
tha,"., the other co-director.
Crashed April 2
The Davises' own Cessna
crashed near Dayville, west
of here April 21 in rugged
eastern Oregon rimrock coun
try while en route from Fres

About 30 John Day resi

were at the airport to see

approving the program after
beating attempts to restrict
his power to cut tariffs on for
eign imports.
Compromise Hoped
The administration hopes
for a compromise four-year
extension of the President's
tariff-cutting, powers. The ad
ministration had asked five
years and the House went
along.
The. Senate slashed the ex
tension to three years, but
smacked down moves by the
protectionist bloc to clamp
sharp curbs on the Presi
dent's power to overrule the
Tariff commission in granting
tariff relief to domestic in
dustry. The final Senate vote
was 72 to 16 for passage.
Eisenhower let it be known
he would be satisfied with a
four-year extension.
The conference committee
also will have to agree on a
ceiling for tariff cuts. The
Senate approved a limit of 15
per cent with a maximum of
5 per cent each year. The
House bill would permit a
reduction of 25 per cent dur
ing the life of the bill with no
more than a 10 per cent cut
in any one year.
House conferees were re
ported ready to hold out for
a better bill than the Senate
version. They planned to con
centrate their main effort on
eliminating the Senate restric
tion which would prevent the
President's added tariff-cut
ting authority from being car
ried over from year to year.
This carry-over ability was
considered essential by the
administration so the U.S. can
be in a favorable bargaining
position when trade talks
with European common mar
ket countries begin three
years hence.

r- m
Out there, on the other side of the Fir Curtain, are
168,000,000 Non-Oregonians. The majority of
those deserving unfortunates have never been to
our state. A lot of them would visit Oregon and
our glorious 1959 Centennial if they could. "
Important:
Every Passport to Oregon must be signed by the
World's Greatest Oregonian you. (Yes, you are and
we're going to send you a card to prove it).
THIS IS TO CERTIft THAT
x t ,
What is stopping them?
Well, this may seem hard to believe, but a lot
of people out there don't know enough about
Oregon or the Centennial to have ever
thought much about coming here. And maybe
nobody ever asked them. Have you?
One thing is for sure: if you don't invite
them somebody else will. They'll end up
visiting California, Texas, or some other
dreadful place instead of oiir breath-taking,
Cascade-studded, ocean-fronted Oregon.
What are we waiting for? Let's send them:
Oregon Passports!
Mail Oregon Passports to your relatives,
deserving friends, and business acquaint-
ances across the Fir Curtain. Or if you're .
going on a vacation or business trip, pass
them along in person. These documents
will prove beyond all doubt that the bearers
are Honorary Oregonians and will more
over invite them to attend the Centennial
