Senator Lovry Urges Morgan
To Rule on SP Case Himself
State Senator Philip B.
Lowry, Medford, Saturday
urged Oregon Public Utilities
. Commissioner Howard " Mor
gan to decide the case of
Southern Pacific's abandon
ment of passenger service be
tween Eugene and Ashland.
Morgan Friday said the case
would have to be decided by
his successor since "in the
short time remaining at my
disposal I am unable to ren
der a decision."
Morgan's resignation as
commissioner becomes effec
tive Monday.
"Yet Remains Time"
Lowry said, in a letter to
Morgan, "There yet remains
time for you to decide this
. case particularly in view of
the preparation of findings.
' The complainants earnestly
urge you to assume your duty
and decide this case.
'The time has come for you
to let the public know if you
really believe in your state
ment contained in your let
ter quoted in a Portland daily
on Nov. 8, 1958, to the effect
that the operations of lobby
ists for transcontinental rail
roads have created a situation
rendering it extremely diffi
cult for any self-respecting
man to administer the laws
relating to the office of public
utilities commissioner.
"Here is the opportunity for
you to demonstrate that you
: are not influenced by any
way can we actually meet ex
panding needs, especially with
respect to higher education,
and catch up with a program
that has lagged in the past
four years because of cuts
made by succeeding Legisla
tures in the overall building
program," the governor said.
"I would urge such a bond
ing program to the people at a
special election to be called at
the earliest date practical,"
Gov. Holmes said.
In his original budget, Gov.
Holmes called for only $2,
500,000 to finance institution
and higher education building
programs, but urged at the
same time a bonding program.
In his message the governor
also urged a bond issue for
road projects including the
proposed bridge over the Co
lumbia river at Astoria and
rebuilding of Highway 42 be
tween Roseburg and Coquille
These projects would also
have to be submitted to the
people for a vote.
The governor made his rec
ommendations w i t h o u t re
course to the Sly report, a sur
vey of Oregon taxation meth
ods, because it came out too
late to be of use.
"In my judgment, the peo
ple voted for a balanced
budget without new taxes. My
budget has been prepared on
this basis," Gov. Holmes said.
The Holmes budget runs to
298.6 million dollars which is
apparently within the. amount
the state tax commission an
ticipated it will collect from
current revenues.

Navy Secretary
May Resign Soon
" Washington - (UPB - Reports
circulated here yesterday that
Thomas S. Gates Jr. will re
sign soon as Secretary of the
Navy.
The reports were denied at
the Defense department,
which referred all questions
to the White House. Some
quarters represented Presi

for Gates to depart to make
way for new blood.
Gates was in New York City
for the commissioning of the
new aircraft carrier Indepen

he planned to resign, he smil

The original complaint was
filed Sept. 26, 1955, by Lowry,
Gene L. Brown, Grants Pass,

burg. Service for passengers
on the Siskiyou line was halt

Lowry said he telephoned
Morgan Wednesday request

and Morgan indicated he
would "perhaps make an ef

"I Was Perturbed"
Lowry continued, in the let
ter, "At that time (when he
telephoned Morgan Wednes
day) I was perturbed because
you showed considerably more
interest in the appointment of
your successor than in deter

I frankly told you that I
thought you should make the
decision since the case is and
has been under your jurisdic

your office. You have been
equipped with power to meet
the issue at any time you
chose to do so."

indicated a decision was forth

Castro Says Cuba
Will Allow Casinos
But Not For Cubans
Havana - (UPD - Fidel Castro
said last night a government
crackdown on gambling will
stop short of the luxury ho
tels catering to well-heeled
foreign tourists.
While gambling house own
ers, many of them American,
fled or went into hiding to
avoid the government at
tempt to stamp out the "cor
ruptive" influence during the
regime of exiled Dictator Ful
gencio Batista, Castro said the
big casinos could reopen.
"Gambling casinos at Ha
vana's tourist hotels will be
allowed to reopen," he said,
"but not for the people."
This was taken to mean
gambling would be run Euro
pean style-only tourists with
proper credentials could en
ter the casinos and no Cuban
nationals could gamble. .
Brings Applause
The rebel chieftain's state
ment to newsmen brought ap
plause from a group of casino
operators in the audience.
Such casino operators as
onetime movie star George
Raft and Meyer Lansky have
left Cuba. Others have been
questioned. The gambling
during the Batista , regime
was largely American-owned.
Castro was deeply em
broiled in an argument with
the rival "revolutionary di
rectorate" over how the pro
visional government should
be run. Two of his top com
manders adocated recognition
of the underground Commu
nist party as a legitimate po
litical organization.
Castro, Chaumon Meet
Despite their difficulties,
Castro and the leader of the
revolutionary dire ctorate,
Faure Chaumon, met at Ha
vana university yesterday aft
ernoon and immediately aft
erward the directorate re
turned to Camp Columbia the
arms it took from San An

Castro had accused the
group of stealing 500 subma
chineguns and rifles with
80,000 rounds of ammunition.
Camilo Cienfuegos, com
mander of Camp Columbia,
the main army camp outside
Havana, said the Reds should

they would be disciplined, he
said.

Resignation
Of Ambassador
To Cuba Reported
Smith Drew Criticism
From Both Elements
' Washington-flJPD-The White
House announced yesterday
that President Eisenhower has
accepted the resignation of
Earl E. T. Smith, ambassador
to Cuba.
Smith had been criticized
by supporters of rebel leader
Fidel Castro as being, in their
opinion, too friendly to the
regime of ousted dictator
Fulgencio Batista.
Smith's resignation was an
nounced by White House
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty. In his letter of resigna
tion, Smith told the president:
"Following a government
upheaval as explosive as that
which has just occurred in
Cuba, I sincerely believe it is
in the best interest of the
United States to change its
ambassador." ,
Appointed in 1957
Smith, a Republican who
formerly served as GOP com
mittee treasurer for Florida,
became ambassador to Cuba
in 1957. He had had no pre
vious diplomatic experience
Some Americans caught in
Cuba during the last days of
civil war complained that
Smith's embassy in Havana
did not do enough to help
them.
Although Smith drew criti
cism from the rebel forces, he
also came under fire from
Batista supporters, who went
so far last August as to de
mand that he be recalled.
Smith at that time had de
nounced Cuban "police bru
tality" against Castro support
ers. He publicly objected to
the Cuban police action in us
ing fire hoses to disperse a
group of Castro's women sup
porters in Santiago.
Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles later defended
'Smith at a news conference
He said the envoy may not
have been wise' from the
standpoint' of adhering to dip
lomatic niceties but was voic
ing a human sentiment. Dul
les said he wished the United
States had more ambassadors
who put humanity above di
plomacy.
A wealthy sportsman, brok
er and member of an old
social register family, Smith
became a resident of Palm
Beach, Fla. In 1955, he was
finance chairman of the Re
publican state committee in
Florida and once held a fund

cotted by two1 GOP state offi
cials because Negroes attend

Reds Seek Treaty
For German Peace
Moscow-filPD-Russia yester
day called for a conference
of the World War II allies
to discuss a German peace
treaty that would reunite East
and West Germany as a de
militarized nation and remove
all foreign troops from the
country.
Echoing Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khruschev's de
mands that the western pow
ers get out of West Berlin,
the Soviet-proposed treaty
would leave West Berlin a
"demilitarized free city" un
til the country is unfied. The
Allies would meet to discuss
the proposal in Prague or
Warsaw within two months.
Both East and West Ger
many would be forbidden to
have nuclear weapons, rock
els, submarines or bombers.
Neither would be permitted
to join military alliances, end
ing West German membership
in NATO and East Germany's
membership in the Warsaw
pact. All foreign troops Rus
sian, American, British and
French would leave within
a year after the treaty's ac
ceptance. West Germany would for
feit claims to territory now
held by Poland and Russia.
German's borders would be
those of Jan. 1, 1959.
High American officials
said yesterday the United
States is considering a broad
counter-proposal to Russia's
proposal.
Diplomatic officials said the
United States cannot accept
the terms of Moscow's offer
nor most of the provisions
reported in a Russian draft.
They added, however, that
President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of State John Foster
Dulles are anxious "not to
slam the door" on possibly

The snow depth at Crater
lake measured near Jan. 1,
1959 was 26 inches compared
to 97 inches in 1958 and 25
inches in 1957, according to
bureau statistics.
Water year run - off in
southwestern Oregon is large
ly, dependent on the carry
over effect of ground water
flow and will not reflect the
deficient precipitation picture
to date, it was explained.

For that reason, officials
said, the United States can
be expected to make its own
amplified suggestions on how
to achive German reunifica
tion, a peace treaty, and
European security.
Russia s action in proposing
a peace conference in Warsaw'
or Prague within two months
came as no surprise. Soviet
Deputy Premier Anastas I,
Mikoyan, who is touring the
United States, made it clear
in his initial talks with Dul
les and other officials here
last Monday that such a treaty
proposal was impending. At
that time he invited the Unit
ed States and its allies to
present their own plan for
settling European problems,
including the Berlin crisis.
Mikoyan is expected to dis
cuss the Russian proposal
wih Eisenhower and Dulles
when he meets with them
here week, probably Satur
day. Officials said plans were
for Dulles and Mikoyan to
have one more meeting and
then go to the White House
for a session with the Presi

Mao, who resigned the presi

Mme. Sun is a Soong, a sis

The observers said the Com

Deputy Premier
Of Russia Urges
End to Cold War
Appears Unruffled
By Demonstrations
San Francisco-(DPD-The San
Francisco Press and Union
League club received a tele
phoned bomb threat while a
news conference with Deputy
Soviet Premier Anastas I.
Mikoyan was in progress at
the club last night.
It was the second bomb
threat of the day. His plane
was almost an hour late at
International airport here be
cause of a threat at Chicago.
Last night, while his news
conference was being broad
cast live on television and
radio from the Press and
Union League club, a woman
telephoned the club and said:
"Get him off the air or
there'll be a bomb in there."
The club operator said "I
pulled the plug because I had
a busy board." She did not
inform police herself, but they
learned of it shortly.
Mikoyan, who took in stride
the demonstrations that have
followed him across the coun
try, said at the news confer
ence:
"How can the United States
and Russia come to agreement
on issues?
"We should put an end to
the cold war . . . start talking
together as human beings, on
a basis of equality.
"The language of dictation
should not be used to us or
any other nation.
"One . point on which an
agreement could be reached is
a ban on nuclear tests."
"He said that "More trade,
more tourists, could bring
about greater trust and make
it easier to break down the
barriers between Russia and
the United States."
Mikoyan made his peace
ful suggestions shortly after
he was greeted at the airport
by anti-communist screams,
eggs and rocks.
At the airport belated ef
forts to escape the estimated
1,000 demonstrators back
fired when the plane taxied
away from the passenger
terminal, outrunning protect
ing police.
Eggs and Rocks
The eggs and rocks missed
Mikoyan by 10 to 20 feet and
he seemed unruffled by the
shouted insults. But when his
limousine, under heavy po
lice escort, drew up at the
Mark Hopkins hotel he ap
peared hesitant for a moment.
Mikoyan drew back as the
crowd presed in, but only for
seconds, then doffed his hat
twice in response to applause
and walked up the red carpet
at the Mark's entrance.
At the news conference, he
said of the demonstrations:
'Ignore These Things' (
"I ignore those things. They
are not serious but ridiculous
and inevitable in the Amer
ican way of life. They say
there has to be freedom but
can I go about banging other
people?
"We stand for freedom, not
for hoodlums, but from hood
lums." But Mikoyan expressed
"best wishes from the Soviet
Union to the people of Cali
fornia." He smiled that the
"climate is so hot and the
company so large that I have
begun to perspire even before
I hear your questions."
He responded freely to
newsmen's questions for
about an hour. The news con
ference was put on the air
by both radio and television.
Generally Friendly
The crowd outside the
press club was generally
friendly. One man shouted
"go home, you bum," as
Mikoyan entered. Another
threw an egg, missing by sev
eral feet, as he departed.
Several police cars and a
dozen police motorcycles were
ranged around the press club
