No Concealment
The Dalai Lama made no
attempt to conceal his concern
over the plight of his people.
, He said he would welcome
a meeting of Indian Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
and Premier Chou En-Lai of
Red China to work out a
"peaceful and amicable solu
tion of the present tragic prob
lem." But he stressed the full
powers he exercised before
the Red armies invaded the
Himalayan country in 1950.
The Dalai Lama ruled out
any direct negotiations with
the Reds because he said he
feared they would go back on
their promises. He said media
tion was possible only through
a third power.
'Inhuman Treatment
The crew-cut Dalai Lama
said that almost daily reports
of the "suffering and inhuman
treatment" of Tibetans by the
Reds compelled him. to level
the series . of indictments
against the Peiping regime.
He accused the Red Chinese
of a "flagrant act of agression"
by invading the kingdom in
1950.
The Dalai Lama said the
so-called agreement which fol
lowed the invasion was "also
thrust upon its people and
government by the threat of
arms." Under the - agreement,
Tibet became an "autonomous'
region of China.
Bowed to Reds j
The Dalai Lama said he and
his government bowed to the
Reds , and and "decided to
abide by the terms and con
ditions" of the agreement "in
order to save the people and
country from the danger of
total destruction."
But the Reds, he said., mare
no attempt to keep the agree
ment. He 'said, in 'fact, that
they lost no opportunity "to
undermine my authority and
sow dissension among my peo
ple." "

gesture; each of the young
"pioneers" threw a personal
article into the fire - items
such as combs, toothbrushes,
and locks of hair.
Miss Garner suggested that
the travelers have gotten
something more than adven
ture and fun out of the trip.
She said there is a general
feeling among them that they
have made new friendships
and strengthened . old ones.
Jackson county 4-H. members
have had a chance to meet
young people from other

portunity will remain during

Seoul, Korea (UPD The

North Korean Communists
have been building military
fortifications in the demilitar

After the Communists de
nied the charge and accused
the U. N. of "slander," Fire

denied this violation without

Diamond Lake
Highway Opened
The Diamond Lake high
way was opened Saturday
morning to one-way traffic,
state police reported.
Officers said they did not
know when the highway
would be open to two-way
traffic.
An earth slide, consider
ably larger than another one
in the same location on April
25, blocked the Diamond
Lake highway on Thursday,
June 4. It occurred about
8 Vi miles north of the Crater
Lake highway junction.
The slide covered the road
way with pumice rock and
trees to a depth of 15 to 20
feet along a 200-foot strip.
The first slide was estimat
ed at about 1,000 cubic yards.
Spring seepage in the area is
said to be the cause of the
slides.
