'"S!'TT" ma Ah Truman Soviet Attitude Ml Serve Peace Br HARRY S. TRUMAN Copyright. 1959 by Harry s. Truman (Reproduction ot thi- artieU in whole or in part is forbidden without written authorization.) The Communist world is now being informed by Nikita Khrushchev that the American government and the Ameri can people do not want waf. I hope thlt the results of this declared change of attitude toward this country will serve the interests of peace. I would urgjj that we be alert to developments in the trou ble spots of Europe and Asia to make certain that we are not led to misjudge the true facts or permit the Communists to misunderstand exactly what we are prepared to do. Troubled Areas Not of Our Making Thee troubled areas where peace and freedom have been threatened or are in jeopardy have not been of our making, and it is there that we will look for the first proof of the avowed renunciation of the use of force in international dealings or interference in the internal affairs of other nations. - Never in history has the need for disarmament been so. imperative and so intimately involved in the everyday life of our people. - '. . While he was here, Khrushchev made certain suggestions as part of a sweeping Utopian disarmament program. Some of these suggestions are realistic where they deal with super vised? controls in a gradual process of reducing arms stage by stage. These suggestions could be an important contribution if Khrushchev follows through with concrete proposals and commitments which he will keep. , There can be no realistic disarmament without adequate supervision and control by the United Nations. I would re mind Chairman Khrushchev that when we had the monopoly - of nuclear weapons we offered to place them under inter national supervision. -Soviet Can Make Constructive Step But Stalin and the Kremlin rejected our proposal, be cause they would not agree to control and inspection. If Khrushchev and the Kremlin now are ready to -reconsider the need for control and inspection, they can make a con structive step to ease the burden of armaments. The United States in this century has taken the lead on several occasions in an effort to bring about disarmament, only to meet disappointment and disillusion. And when we did make drastic reductions, either because of agreement by treaty, as in the case of the London Naval Agreement, or because of national policy of strengthening civilian economy, we found ourselves confronted by grave danger to bur security as a nation. : This time, let us make sure that we do not endanger our strength and security by making disoroportionate sacrifices or by being lured into a false peace. Glad Eisenhower Postponed Trip I am glad that the President has postponed his planned visit to Moscow and Russia, whatever the stated reason for the change. More time is needed to see whether Khrushchev will follow his words with deeds. """ In previous meetings with President Roosevelt, myself and President Eisenhower, the Soviet leaders entered into solemn agreements and commitments which could have led to world cooperation for peaqe, but which have been breached or ignored. This is how the cold war started and how it con tinued. We tried everything we could to prevent this cold war. Only. Khrushchev and the Kremlin can put an end to the cold war. Only they can bring the thaw. Khrushchev said it would take time to work out changes. One of the first things he might do while in Peiping is to bring. about a change in Red China's approach to international conduct. I hope there is some substance to the dispatches from Red China that Khrushchev is urging Mao Tse-tung to adopt a course of caution and moderation. And on Khrushchev's re turn to Moscow, let us see what he does to ease the tensions. ; (Continued on Page 7) Prineville Take Step Standard Rating Prineville IDPD Voters here Monday tpok: a major step toward placing . the Crook county school system back on a state-approved basis after several months of, being listed as non-standard by the State Department of Education. - Voters approved a bond is sue of $395,000 to build a new junior. high school in Prineville, thereby relieving overcrowded school conditions to which the State Education Department objected last win ter. ;. ... ,-' Will House 400 As of Sept. 30 this year, there were 1,600 pupils in the first eight grades here going to school in three structures built to accommodate 1,160 students.

McDonald said today the 500,000 striking steelworkers have earned a fair settlement by their -"sweat and hard work" ; and vowed' they will remain on strike "until justice is done." He admitted it "certainly" is possible to settle the 84-day strike voluntarily, but de scribed the situation as "very grave." Way Left Open ' McDonald's comments left the way open for early 'gov ernment intervention through use of the strike-halting pro visions of the Taft - Hartley Act. After meeting with the union's Wage Policy Commit tee, McDonald said he had asked to negotiate directly with the heads of the 12 major steel firms involved. The steel companies did not reply im mediately. ! Steel Executives Huddle Even as McDonald declared the union would not accept a "sweetheart contract,", execu tives of the major steel pro ducers grouped together as a "coordinating committee" also were in session reviewing the critical situation. An industry source said a new negotiating session between the four-man teams for each was possible today. "Either side can call the other and a meeting could re sult," the source said. "The industry men think that it is time for the union to indicate what concessions it might be willing to make in its 60-cent an hour, three-year contract demand, which is the only factual thing the union has on the: bargaining table at this time.'", :;U.V .......
