Through-1 Senator Advocates Peace, Disarmament In Breakfast Here "Peace, disarmament and constructive works" were the national goals Sen. Hubert Horatio Humphrey (D-Minn.) advocated here today at breakfast meeting with Jack son county Democrats. Sen. Humphrey, on a rapid tour of Oregon communities, was to appear this noon at Roseburg and later at Coos Bay. He came here from Klamath Falls to speak before some bO persons at rags Garden restaurant. The second-term senator and former mayor of Minne apolis, a candidate for the Democratic 1960 presidential nomination, , urged a positive attitude toward .world peace. Role, as Peacemaker The U.S. government has failed to emphasize its role as a peacemaker in its dealings with the Soviet Union, the senator said, and has also failed to emphasize "not that capitalism is a better system but that freedom is." The question, he continued, is not wno manes xne most bathtubs and tractors but "what kind of a society you have." The difference is a Spirit ual one and not a financial one." With respect to disarma ment, Sen. Humphrey warned that this country must be pre pared for the economic shift that would follow any major cutback in arms production. Shifting Gears Y - inted out that the So vic .1 m is capable of rap idly cting its economic gears, id compared this to "our inabilty to quickly : re adjust our economy." "We are starting staff stu dies" in Congress, he said, "on economic plans that relate to any form of disarmament. We ought to have plans on what would happen if our whole economy was suddenly to change." -Humphrey disagreed with the opinion held in some quar-1 ers that American munitions manufacturers oppose, arms cutbacks because of the effect on ; their business and that they apply pressure in Wash ington ' to prevent disarma ment.' .- . r - These people," he said both of the businessmen and of : laborers, "don't want to keep the cold war going be cause they want to have jobs. These people want jobs, period." But, he said, . They have to out the day, party workers reported a steady stream of voters. , The weather was excellent. Early mist and fog quickly gave way to bright and warm autumn skies. Swing to Macmillan Public "opinion straw polls showed a sharp, last minute swing in favor of Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan s Con servative party. The voting would decide whether Macmillan, a close friend of President Eisenhow er for 17 years, or Labor Par ty Leader Hugh " Gaitskell would represent Britain at a summit meeting with Russia's Nikita Khrushchev.

He cited the ex ample of Bong Air Force base in Wisconsin, a : construction project suddenly halted last week to the distress of con tractors and local residents. Channel Enterprise "There are a thousand things we can do," the solon stated, to channel government enterprise from defense spending into other areas. He mentioned construction of mental hospitals and other in stitutions as examples. Sen. Humphrey stated that while Nikita Khrushchev's re cent disarmament proposal be fore the United Nations was a propaganda cqu p," it should be fully explored at least.""'" t- - "The Soviets need disarma ment," he commented, in or der to carry out their plans for economic growth and compe tition. "They may very well be serious about some form of disarmament," he said of the Red premier's proposal.. He said disarmament nego tiations could be carried out at the same time plans for the economic shift were devel oped since the problem was a "long term" proposition. . The senator ridiculed Vice President Richard MvNixon's scheduled appearance at the edication of The Dalles Dam Saturday, and his appearance at a dam dedication in New Hampshire last weekend. "Out here," he said, "the Republicans have never built a dam but they're strong on dedicating them. They're trained to dedicate them." Continuing this attack on the Republican Administra tion's "no new starts" recla mation "policy, Sen. Humph rey said the Democrats would have to get back in office soon so more dams could be built. Otherwise, he said, the Re publicans would soon be run ning out of dams to dedicate. I You've Got To Admit The Trains Run On Time" Stubblefield Twin Sinking Due To Breathing Trouble Other Girl Said To Be 'Pretty Good' Portland (DPD Authorities at the University of Oregon Medical School hospital said today that one of the Subble- neia Siamese twms was sink ing rapidly" due to breathing trouble. The spokesman said the condition o Jeanett Stub blefield worsened this morn ing. The spokesman said "things look pretty dark. She started to get worse about 7:30 a.m. It's her breathing." Tracheotomy Performed Jeanett and her twin, Den net, were separated by sur gery in a lengthy operation Tuesday. They had been join ed from the breastbone to the navel and had adjoining heart sacs and livers. A tracheotomy Wednesday was performed on Jeanett when her breathing became difficult. The main problem was trying to keep the bron chial tubes clear of mucous. Both girls were in oxygen tents and were fed intraven ously. , Other Girl 'Pretty Good' The spokesman said Den net's condition seemed to be "pretty good" today. The girls, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. James St. oblefield, were born one month premature at Nyssa, Ore., and were rushed here "the next day. When the decision to separ ate the girls was made, medi cal authorities said there were great risks involved but enough of a chance for sur vival to warrant an operation. DA Asks Agencies To Enforce Law District Attorney Thomas J. Reeder today announced he has asked loc-7 law enforce ment agencies to enforce the new stte law against juve niles' smoking. This la , as passed in the 1959 Legislature, makes it illegal both for a person to furnish tobacco in any form and in any manner to a minor under 18, and for a minor under 18 to smoke, use, or possess any form of tobacco in any public place. It also holds a business person liable for minors' using tobacco at the place of bush? ,-ss. The law, as Reeder explain ed it, represents a revision and simplification of former statutes. Formerly, but no more, a person could furnish tobacco to a minor under 18 if the minor had proper writ ten consent. "This will be a difficult law to enforce," Reeder comment ed. "However, it is our plain duty to do the best we can. "We particularly wish to prevent students .under the age of 18 years from smoking around our schools and other public places."

A riotous fourth inning in which thr. Dodgers came up with six runs was the differ ence and crushed the White Sox' hopes of removing the stigma set on them 40 years ago when the "Black Sox" threw the series to the Cin cinnati Reds. As for the Dodgers it meant bringing the first world's baseball championship to the Golden West and one of the greatest comebacks in the history of Ihe game. Richest Series They took it from there to defeat the White Sox four games to two in this richest and largest attended World Series of all time. Home runs by Duke Snider, Wally Moon and ninch-hitter Chuck Es- segian-his second as a substi tute batsman in the series- triggered the Dodgers to vic tory. While starter Johnny Pod- res could not hold the eight- run . lead - which the Dodgers gave him in the first four in nings, Dodger relief ace Larry Sherry came on to thwart the White Sox and win his second game of the series. , . Sherry saved two others to make him one of the biggest heroes in Dodger history- A crowd of 47,653 sat in on this dark, chilly afternoon and saw their American League champions go down to defeat. The Dodgers got off to an early lead when Snider, hit ting his 11th series home run, started putting the crusher on White Sox starter Early Wynn in the third inning. It came with two out and a teammate on base. Then came that big fourth. The Dodgers sent 10 men to the plate, with Moon's home run the big blow of the inning. The White Sox came back with three runs when big Tpd Kluszewski's third homer of the series knocked out Podres. But then Sherry came on, and that was the end of the White Sox.

The new agreement will jo into effect Nov. 1 under terms of a federal la" extending until 1961. However, the La bor Department said it would ask renewal authorization for the so-called bracero program when Congress convenes in January. The State and Labor depart ment would not disclose de tails of the new agreement until the treaties actually are signed. Ranch Hand Tasks But United Press Interna tional learned authoritatively that brsceros. would be allow ed to perform ranch , hand tasks. Previously, they were limited to crop work. Ranch hand jobs would e defined when the agreements are pub lished. It was understood another change would permit deduc tions of 20 cents a month from a worker's pay. The money would be remitted by the American employer to the Mexican government for non occupational insurance for the braceros. Other changes in. the agree ment were described as "tech nical" r. an '. would not alter basic costs or aims of the program. Judge Withholds Ruling in Case Circuit Judge James M. Main is withholding his ruling on dwf -ndants' answers to Mrs. Bertha GammilFs com plain t regarding Phoenix school district matters pend ing submission of memoran da of authorities from the par ties concerned. Mrs. Gam ill was named as defendants the Jackson Coun ' . School District Reorganiza tion committee and Jackson County School District Bound ary board. The complaint was filed Sept. 14. It asks among other things that the Phoenix-Talent sr hool district consolidation election Sept. 16 and the boundary board action affecting land : near Barnett rd. both be nullified. Deputy District Attorney Gerald Scannell, representing t h e defendants' responded with a demurrer seeking to dismiss the reorganization committee from the suit as not being properly a defen dant and with a "motion to elect" asking that Mrs. Gam mill be made to choose one objective or the other as the basis of her suit. i Four Speakers Are Featured at Today's Juvenile Conference : Four speakers were featured at today's session of the Cen tennial year conference of the Oregon Juvenile Council which started at the Jackson county courthouse auditorium yesterday. ; Ray Reese of the Oregon State Public Welfare com mission spoke on "Oregon Joms the Interstate Juvenile Compact," and Lyle Mullin, juvenile court counselor in Multnomah county, discussed "The Juvenile Court and the Traffic Offender" at this morn ing's session. Dr. Raymond Lowe of the University of Oregon discuss ed the relationship between juvenile courts and the public schools late this morning, and Eric W. Allen Jr., managing editor of the Medford Mail Tribune, spoke at the noon luncheon at the Medford ho tel, conference headquarters. Allen's talk was on the rela tionship between the press and juvenile authorities. Workshop Panels ; This morning's talks were the subject for three work shop panels this afternoon. They are the interestate com pact, juvenile court and the traffic offender and school- court problems. Other work shop topics this afternoon in clude the new juvenile code and police responsibility, adoption, new laws, more re sources for children, and new legislation relating to Fair- view home. Yesterday afternoon's work shops centered on Oregon's new juvenile code. . Representative Edith Green. Portland, will speak on "Fed eral Legislation for Youth" at the Council's annual banquet at 7:30 o'clock tonight at the Rogue Valley Country club. Medical Aspects At Wednesday's luncheon Dr. Camilla Anderson focused the delegates' attention on a medical aspect of the delin quency problem: the effects of brain damage on, later de velopment. , She pointed out that many behavior defects are being misunderstood, and are assum ed to be the result of family problems or other "environ mental" situations. Actually, she said, the defects can be the direct result of physical damage to the brain. Dr. Anderson described how this damage would af WEATHER FORECAST: Cloudy with occa sional rain tonight and Friday, becoming showery Friday eve ning. Low tonight 48. High Friday 62. i--'"" Temp.

She discussed someof the recognizable symptoms of such conditions. Dr. Anderson urged that all persons working profes sionally with children gain an understanding of the brain damage problem. The medical profession, seconded by psy chology, must take the lead in developing the ability, to recognize this affliction, she said. Fortunately, the time is ripe for real progress in this whole field." Mullin this morning men tioned the problem of the juvenile traffic offenders has increased. Primary Concern Primarily the concern to day is with that group of Ore gon drivers who are under the age of 18 years, and who, by; driving on the streets and highways, are exercising an adult privilege although often not mature enough in judg ment to accept the responsi bility that goes with that priv ilege. He added that this could also be said of many adults. - Mullin said it had been his experience that persons who are most vociferous on the subject of what court should handle the problem are those most reluctant to observe how it is being done now. "We are entirely too con cerned over jurisdiction and not enough concerned about treatment, and it is in treat ment alone that the answer will be iound, Mullin con tinued. The speaker believes that when the same stigma is at tached to the violation of a traffic law as to the violation of any other law society will have come a long way to wards solving the problem. Kansas City, Mo.-UPD-The 32nd annual convention here of the Future Farmers of America which opens Friday will include a delegation of 125 youths from Oregon. 10 More Cases of P0I19 0 o In Oregon in One Week Portland (UPD Polio struck 10 more Oregon residents last week and probably was re sponsible for the deaths of two others, the Oregon State Board of Health said today.
