Truman Says
Uprisings To
Retain Dignity
By HARRY S. TRUMAN
North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.
Copyrtrht, 19S0, bv Harry S. Truman
(Reproduction or thii irilrl in whole or tn part li forbidden
without written authorization.)
In the recent demonstrations and acts of violence on sev
eral continents I see a clear re-affirmation of what 1 have
always believed that people are no longer content to
settle for economic betterment at the expense of human
dignity.
Throughout history there has been an unremitting strug
gle against rule by dictatorship or repression by force. And
today's events in Korea, Turkey, South Africa and Cuba
reveal that some governments have not kept up with the
times in meeting the reasonable aspirations of their people.
Saddened by Korea Circumstances
I was shocked and saddened by the circumstances that led
to revolt in South Korea to preserve democracy there. It was
an ironic turn of events that Syngman Rhee, whom history
will record as a great patriot and father of the Republic
he created, should himself at this time of life, be the cause
of uprising. I would like to say this to the Korean people,
who know how I feel towards them as a brave and free
people, that they must have learned their lesson in democ
racy well under Syngman Rhee, to rise up even against
him in order to preserve their democracy.
I have been wondering for some time about what was
going wrong with the government of Korea and watched
with misgiving the last election. I could only conclude
and have now been able to confirm that Syngman Rhee
was a victim of misplaced trust in some of the people
around him. Every head of government, especially strong
men in critical times, finds it difficult to pass on authority
for fear that their policies may be jeopardized.
Rhee Dedicated To Freedom Ideals
And, unfortunately, in the history of great leaders there
Is always a temptation to overstay. I knew Syngman Rhee
as a person of sterling character, a fine mind and of un
daunted courage. He was dedicated not only to .his people
but to the ideals of freedom. He was a staunch partner of
the West, and a bulwark against international communism.
In his present difficulties let us not forget it, lest we malign
him out of all proportion to his errors and misjudgments
In trying to cling to power.
I hope that Korea will quickly mend the wounds of
civil strife and that law and order and responsible dem
ocratic government, confirmed by a free election, can be
restored. It is encouraging to see that steps are being taken
to correct the wrongs and mistakes of the situation in that
country. I am glad to see that this is being done by civilian
authority and that the military is cooperating by keeping
its place and maintaining its calm.
Threat of Communist Forces Acute
For the threat to the independence of Korea from the
North where Communist forces are still poised for invasion
is as acute today as at the time of the 1950 aggression. Pro
longed internal dissension through inability or delay to re
establish a functioning Republic could lead to chaos and
play into the hands of Red China.
I was glad to see Secretary of State Christian Herter
advise Syngman Rhee of the dangers and possible conse
quences of popular dissatisfaction with the manner in which
the Presidential elections were held. I think it was not only
proper for the Secretary of State to interpose our govern
ment's opinion on a matter involving the preservation of
Korean democracy, but it was wise in view ot our respon
sibilities to that country under the United Nations.
For me, Korea is the symbol of a people's determination
In resist not onlv invasion but the imposition of a form
of government which does not
dom and human dignity of people today.

Commission Sets
Hearings on Zoning
Public hearings have been
scheduled by the county plan
ning commission on two pro
posed interim zoning ordi
nances. The hearing for the White
City area will be held Thurs
day, May 26, in the county
courthouse auditorium at 8
p.m. The hearing for the West
Side area will be held Wednes
day, June 1, at 8 p.m. in the
West Side school.
The White City ordinance
allows for single family resi
dential, agricultural, commer
cial and light and heavy in
dustrial areas. The West Side
ordinance includes only single
family residential and agri
cultural areas.
Jack Eaton, planning tech
nician, said the proposed in
terim zoning ordinance would
not affect present land usage.
Structures as currently exist
ing will remain unchanged, he
added, although they may not
be enlarged or altered with
out a variance.
While City Area
The area included in the
White City ordinance would
include a 200-foot strip of land
east of Crater Lake highway
from Vilas rd. north to the
boundary of White City, and
a 200-foot strip of land west
of Crater Lake highway from
Vilas rd. north about two
miles to where it expands to
300 feet wide north to Avenue
A. This area would be desig
nated as commercial.
I Commercial zoning would
also be in a strip of land 200
feet on each side of Antelope
rd. extending about 1V4 miles
east of Crater Lake highway.
; Eaton said the residents in
the area had decided what
commercial property could go
in those areas.
. The White City subdivision
east of the highway north of
Antelope rd. would be single
family residential with a small
area north of it zoned as light
industrial. Heavy industrial
reas would be the location of
three gravel pits in the area,
two on Antelope creek off
Bigham, Brown and Riley
rds , and on Foothalls rd. one
mile south of Corey rd.
I The West Side area includes
the area frrtm ths Old Stage
rd. at Jacksonville to and in
cluding Military rd., to Scenic
ave., along Scenic ave. to the
railroad tracks, following the
tracks to Central Poittt, along
UanUu t-rt tn RvVl POmPf.

meet the aspirations of free
sonville highway to Jackson
ville city limits.
Eaton said the planning
commission office had re
ceived a number of questions
regarding single family dwell
ings in the areas.
He said the minimum size
separate lot has a frontage on
one street of more than 60
feet with an area which ex
ceeds 6.000 square feet.
Morse Blames
Light Vote Turnout
Washington-(t)PH-Sen. Wayne
Morse today attributed his
defeat in the District of Co
lumbia primary by Sen. Hu
bert Humphrey to a light vot
er turnout and said his sup
porters would have to work
harder for the upcoming May
20 Oregon primary.
Morse, a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nom
ination, said that he had de
cided that if the vote was
light he probably would lose
and that if it were heavy he
would win.

County Funds Are
Being Considered
By Court Today
Parks, Recreation
Among Departments
Funds for county parks and
recreation program, general
road, public library and the
family counselling services
will be considered by the
Jackson county budget com
mittee this afternoon.
County Judge Earl Miller
said this morning the commit
tee hopes to complete review
ing the departmental budgets
today.
Among items considered
this morning and receiving
tentative approval were mis
cellaneous items in the gen
eral county funds. Outstand
ing among these was the ap
proval of $5,000 to the Med
ford Chamber of Commerce.
This amount had been re
quested by the chamber to
be added to additional funds
from Josephine county court
for the publishing of a bro
chure to promote the two
county area.
Also tentatively approved
was a new item in the budget.
It included $5,500 for a coun
ty employee $2,000 life in
surance program. The pro
gram will be paid half by the
employee and would cover
the 356 county employees.
Expected to appear before
the committee this afternoon
is City Parks and a Recreation
Director Bob Haworth. He
will discuss a tentative agree
ment between Medford and
the county to share his du
ties. In commenting on the parks
and recreation program under
way by the county, Commis
sion Chester Wenrit said that
more pressure has been put
on the county for increased
parks and recreation than on
any other county business. It
was the general consensus of
opinion of the committee that
money designated for this de
partment was "well spent."

Party Secretariat
Streamlined To
Only Seven Men
Kozlov Elevated
To Deputy Premier
Moscow - IITH - The Soviet
Union moved younger men
into high government and
Communist party posts today
in a massive shakeup that left
Nikita S. Khrushchev still un
challenged at the top.
The shuffle, in which there
were some expected demo
tions, took Frol Kozlov out of
his government post as a first
deputy premier and catapult
ed him into a streamlined
party secretariat of seven
men - the repository of ulti
mate power in the Soviet
Union.
Kozlov, 51, visited the Uni
ted States last year.
Tass news agency made the
announcement only a few
hours before Khrushchev was
scheduled to go before the
Supreme Soviet - the U.S.
S.R.'s parliament - to deliver
what was billed in advance
as a "stupendous" pre-summit
speech.
Party AU-Powerful
In the Soviet Union the
Communist party ' is more
powernu man the govern
ment. Khrushchev s principal
power comes from tire fact
that he is the party's first
secretary. He took on the
added title of premier so he
could sit In at international
councils as his country's gov
ernment leader, too.
Today's announcement said
four persons had been drop
ped from the 10-member sec
retariat of the party's Central
Committee - Alcxei Kirichen
ko, Averkl Aristov, Pyotor
Pospclov and Nikolai lgnatov
- while Kozlov was added to
it.
Two persons were dropped
from the Presidium of the
party's Centra Committee -
Kinchenko and Nikollai I.
Belyayev - and three added -Alexei
Kosygin, Nikolai Pod
gorny and Dimilri Polyanskl.
Kosygin also was given
Kozlov's government job of
first deputy premier. The
other first deputy premier is
Anaslas Mlkoyan, whose po
sition was not changed.
Not Considered Purge
It was the biggest reshuffle
of high Soviet posts since
June, 1957, when an anti-
party group was purged.
The new changes, which
were decided on Wednesday
in parallel meetings by the
133 -member party Central
Committee and the Presidium
of the Supreme Soviet, were
viewed by political experts
here as a reshuffle rather
than a purge.

Burglars Hurried
City police said the bur

been partially forced before
the thief left.
The burglary, at the Olym

ment company appeared to be
a hurried job, city police said.
The persons responsible for
this burglary broke Into two
offices without touching any
thing and then took the bot
tles of whiskey from a desk
drawer in a third office. No
attempt was marie to break
open the company safe, they
said.
State police said entry to
the Desert Service station was
gained by forcing open a rear
door to the building. A cash
box was broken open, but the
few pennies in it were un
touched, they said.
Other establishments bur

None of the burglaries have
yet been solved, nor is It
known if they are in any way
connected.

Cold Toward
Nixon at Summit
Premier Writes Off
Idea of Substitute
London - aim - America's
chief European allies showed
little surprise today at Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
roughly worded write-off of
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon as a possible summit
substitute for President Eisen
hower. Khrushchev, in his saber
rattling speech to the Su
preme Soviet referred in these
words to Eisenhower's sugges
tion that Nixon might finish
out the summit for him if it
lasted longer than planned:
Cold War Attitude
"I have seen Nixon several
times In Moscow and in the
United Slntes. and it is diffi
cult for me to avoid the im
pression that Nixon less than
anybody thinks of stopping
the cold war and of ending
tne armaments race.
Disdainfully, the Soviet
leader added:
"I'm afraid that if Nixon Is
empowered to carry on the
negotiations at the summit It
will be as we say in Russia
'Like when the goat is sent
to take care of the cabbage
patch."
Uneasiness Voiced
Neither the British nor
French have commented of-
ficially on the possibility of
mxon a summit negotiator.

For Success at
Summit Noted
Craft Said Sent
To Frighten People
Moscow - a'PP - Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev said today
that Soviet forces early Sun
day shot down an American
plane which he claimed was
sent over the Soviet Union tn
"impress and frighten" Rus
sia on eve of the summit con
ference. He said this meant
there now was "little hope"
for success at the summit.
In a voice filled with bit
terness, Khrushchev accused
the United States of aggres
sive actions along the border
and warned: "They are play
ing with the and they could
also suffer retaliatory blows."
He boasted then of Soviet
rocket strength.
Khrushchev looked directly
at U. S. Ambassador Llewel
lyn Thompson during his
speech before the Supreme
Soviet. Members of Parlia
ment sat in silence, then
jumped to their feet and roar
ed: "Down with the aggres
sor! This is banditry!"
Khrushchev did not iden
tify the type of plane and did
not disclose the fate of any
Americans aboard. But he
said another American plane
violated Soviet territory April
w ana escaped.
Weather Plane Missing
A Lockheed U2 extreme
high altitude weather recon
naissance plane of the Nation
al Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration disappeared over
southeastern Turkey this
week end with one man
aboard. The unarmed research
craft was 60 miles from the
Iranian border and 100 miles
from Soviet Azerbaijan when

"'KPne reyurneo. saieiy
This was in the same area
where the United States ac
cused the Soviets of shooting
down an unarmed Air Force
transport in 1958 with the
loss of 17 lives. Russia denied
the charges and said th
plane crashed inside .Russia.
It returned six bodies.
"Imagine what would have
happened if a Soviet aircraft
appeared for Instance over
New York, Chicago or Detroit
and were to fly over these
cities?" Khrushchev asked,
Would Mean War'
"How would the United
States react? U.S. officials
have slated more than once
that they have bomber patrols
with atomic and hydrogen
bombs which, at the approach
of a foreign aircraft, would
take off and proceed each in
the direction of its appointed
bombing target,
This would mean the be
ginning of a war."
We have no bombers on
duty but we have rockets
which are more accurate and
more reliable than your
bombers."
He said it was high time
for the United States "to re
alize that they are playing
with fire and that they could
also suffer retaliatory blows."

FCC Grants Power
Increase for KYJC
The federal communica
tions commission yesterday
granted radio station KYJC
an increase in daytime power
from 250 to 1,000 kilowatts.
Tom McLeod, station man
ager, said a new transmitter
is being shipped by the Radio
Corporation of America, and
is expected to be installed and
in operation In June.
The new transmitter will
replace the present one. The
station will remain on 'he
same frequency, 1230 kilocy
cles. Application for an Increase
in daytime power was filed
with the FCC about 18
months ago.
The increased power will
provide clearer r'eception of
KYJC's signal in areas which
now have a poor signal, Mc
Leod. said. It also will in
crease the station's range
somewhat, he added.
