State Department Intervenes to Conduct Services During Visit By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International Washington Postscript on Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan: During FTff'J1 . Yit Mikovan's vis- f KStf it here, the 3 ment inter- vened to scut I tie Air Force ' plans to con- duct interna- I 1 ingful bur 1 a 1 I V Pi I services in Ar- 1 ; Inn Ttfn. tional Cemetery. The bodies were unidentified. They were two of the crew of the U.S. Air Force C-130 which crash ed last Autumn in Soviet Ar menia. The U.S. government has made public tape record ings of conversations between Soviet fighter pilots during an action in which it is charged that the Russians deliberately gunned down the unarmed American transport. The date suggested by the Air Force for the burials with military honors in the ceme tery just across the Potomac from Washington was Jan. 16. That was the day Mikoyan met with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to be told of angry American resent ment. The Air Force proposed Jan. 16 only informally and did not press the matter when the State Department ob jected. Ga. Representative's Ver sion Rep. James C. Davis (D-Ga.) told the tale in Georgia three days ago. His version was that the Air Force offi cially proposed the Jan. 16 date. Some of the things Davis told his home folks in Georgia were these: "If held then (Jan. 16) this ; would have demonstrated to Mikoyan the seriousness with which the American people took the shooting incident and their unflinching desire for the return of the other men, dead or alive." He said the State Depart ment counselled against the burial plan and insisted that the funerals be postponed un til Mikoyan had left the Unit ed States. "The exact words of the State Department official," Davis continued, "were: 'There is a feeling in the de partment ' that there would have been unfavorable attend ant publicity. Mikoyan's atti tude might have considerably hardened.' : -Appeasement Charge "Because of the appeasing attitude of the State Depart ment and the apparent lack of courage on the part of the department of the Air Force in this matter, another instance of appeasement'-goes into the already long and craven record of attempts to appease the unappeaseable." State Department officials acknowledged the United Press International that the Air Force wanted the Jan. 16 burials, and that the State De partment counselled against that date. The department'! position was that the tape recordings of conversation among the marauding Russian fighter pilots should be made public coincident with the burials for maximum impact on public opinion. State desired to postpone release of the tape until both Dulles and Vice President Richard M. Nixon had chal lenged Mikoyan on the inci dent and after Mikoyan had reported to the Kremlin on those conversations. Eleven members of the crew of the lost airplane still are unaccounted for. The Krem lin denies knowledge and re sponsibility; says the United States is lying about the tapes. Public opinion in the United States has been remarkably passive about the whole shock ing business. Epic Clash Reported In Rules Committee By FRANK FLEAZER United Press Internation Washington -(UPD The irre sistible force has met up with the immovable body. As ev erybody always suspected, something gave. , The epic clash took place in the House Rules committee Thursday between congres sional titans. Each has been considered to rule in his own domain, at least by fiat and possibly by divine right. At one end of the long ta ble, gavel in hand, reigned Rep. Howard W. Smith (D- Va.), 76-year-old chairman of the committee. . Judge Smith, practically al ways has the votes on his 12 man committee to do what he wants done, or at least not to do what he doesn't want done. On rare occasions when he has turned up short, Smith has been known to leave town, thereby blocking any action at all. It is not true though that he once burned down his barn to provide an excuse for his absence. That, Smith contends, was an act of God. They're Old Friends At the other end of the ta-' ble, 20 feet away with glass es riding low on his nose, sat his adversary. Rep. Carl Vin son (D-Ga.), 75-year-old chair man of the Armed Services committee. j Unlike Smith, whose com mittee does its voting in se cret, Vinson makes all his committee ballots in public. He can afford to. He has nev- j er been known to lose. Now, Vinson and Smith are old friends. On most vital issues, like disenchantment with the Supreme court, they see eye to eye. Vinson is a southern conservative, a term which falls considerably short of doing justice to Smith. Smith considers spending, as applied to the federal gov ernment an ugly word. Vin son agrees, but does make ex ceptions, as for vital purpos es like the national defense and the welfare of the 6th District of Georgia. Don't Throw Away Key You may have read about the government's "backdoor spending" and Judge Smith's efforts to curb it. Defining bachelor spending, it devel ops, is difficult. One defini tion emerging is that back door spending is the kind au thorized by somebody else's committee. Whatever it is, here was Smith, with his res olution to stop it. And here was Vinson, who said Smith was one of the great men of history, that other rules committee mem bers were brilliant, and that if they didn't cut out this foolishness he no longer could answer for the national safety. Vinson said his old and dear friend Smith was emin ently right in trying to lock up the Treasury. However, he intimated it was going a lit tle too far to throw away the key. "You have dropped a hy drogen bomb where a well placed rifle shot might have sufficed," Vinson chided. Smith then asked Vinson if he would help draft a new MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, Febrnary 20, 195? 5 In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS j Western Hemisphere stuff: President Eisenhower flies south for two days of what the reporters call "shirt sleeve" diplomacy with the new president of .Mexico, Adolf os Lopez Mateos.. This diplomatic session in shirt sleeves (it should be added that coats are much too heavy for comfort down that 'way) will be held in Acapulco. Acapulco isn't Mexico. In fact, it is about as far from the REAL Mexico-that is the Mexico that is inhabited by the general run of Mexicans -as one can get. It is a fabu lously plush beach resort where the average Mexican's vacation budget (if the aver age Mexican had such a lux ury as a vacation budget, which he doesn't) would last about a minute and a half. BUT The dispatches report The informality of the trip is much preferred by Dwight Eisenhower, and apparently by Lopez Mateos, to the starchy formality of a con ventional state visit where contact between the princi pals is controlled by the court ly rules of diplomatic protocol. The two presidents will take a yacht ride around sparkling blue Acapulco bay. They will entertain each other at lunch eons and dinners at some of the flossiest night clubs and hotels in the Western Hemis phere. It's a safe bet that in the two days they won't see a single burro, loaded to the ears with sugar cane stalks or the fleshy, spiny maguey leaves which are the raw ma terial from which tequila is made, plodding along under the direction of his ragged cotton-shirt-a n d-pants-clothed Mexican owner-than which no sight in Mexico is more typical. Acapulco doesn't go in for things like that. speak in the language of everyday human intercourse rather than the high-flown phrases of diplomatic double talk, which must be so word ed as to mean NOTHING. That is as it should be in our Western world. ONE other thought: President Eise nhower speaks passable French. He speaks understandable Ger man. Whether or not he can make himself understood in Spanish, I don't knpw. But I'll risk this guess: President Mateos will be at least able to understand Eng lish. If so, that will simplify their conversations. Nothing makes such man-to-man con ferences stiffer than having to speak through an interpreter. I THINK nearly everyone who has beeri there will agree that Mexico is a HOPE FUL country. It could be the key to good relations on our part with Latin America. Mexico and the U.S. spatted and fought with each other for a long time. But we're coming to understand each other. Ike is a good man to further this growing friendliness and understanding. He has that in definable quality known as charm. He LIKES PEOPLE. He and Mexico's new prexie can do a lot to increase West ern Hemisphere goodwill. More power to them in their talks. BUT at least these presidents of the two great republics of the Western Hemisphere will do no worrying at lunch eon or at dinner over who shall sit above . the salt and who shall sit below. They'll be free to BE THEM- selves. They'll be free to resolution, more of the rifle shot type. Vinson allowed that maybe he would. "That," opined Smith, "is as near to a commitment as anybody will ever get out of Carl Vinson." Come on down ... on the double drive a Double!

' ' ' He said that walnut trees should not be pruned until the end of April. Earlier pruning causes extensive bleeding which can not be stopped, the agent said. . Grapes bleed the least when pruned during February. he continued. If the owner starts pruning grape plants and they bleed copiously, Cordy ex plained that they should stop pruning and try again at a later date. . The grape plants will al ways bleed when cut, he said, and explained that the owner should not worry about small amounts of bleeding.
