Regional Edition M United Pres. lnternaUonil Full Leased Wir 16 Pages Noisy President Differences Can Be Negotiated, Eisenhower Says Cheering Humanity Lines Boulevards Manila-ffl?D-A wildly enthu siastic crowd of almost 2 mil lion Filipinos welcomed Presi dent Eisenhower to this pro American island republic with frenzied joy today at the start of his two-week tour of Asia The President opened his visit with a promise that no "petty differences" ever would divide the Philippines and the United States. He as sured the peoples of the Far East that any difficulties among true allies can be ne gotiated in peaceful partner ship. Lands st Clark AFB Eisenhower arrived after a 15-hour 6,750-mile jet flight from Alaska, with a refuel ling stop in mid-Pacific at Wake Island.

Garcia at the airport, the two leaders drove about 10 miles into downtown Manila through boulevards lined with cheering humanity. Balloons Dot Air Midtown Manila went slightly hysterical in a joyous welcome of confetti, colored serpentine and clouds of bright balloons that dotted the air over the ancient Mala canang Palace where the American chief executive is staying. A threatened demonstration against Eisenhower by a large labor organization failed to come off. Enthusiasm of the greeting here, and the prospect of a more tranquil welcome in Japan, led observers to feel that the President's advisers had been correct in having him go through with his Ori ental trip. Privaia Dinner Because of the long and ar duous day, Eisenhower plan ned only a private dinner with the John Eisenhowers and a few members of the American staff before retir ing early to restore his energy for a long and active day Wednesday.

"There has never been a government In history which has placed heavier emphasis on espionage," the report said of the Soviet Union. The report said that in ad dition to regular Soviet spy agents, the Communist cause is abetted "by members of foreign Communist parties, numbering some 4,000,000 ad herents in the free world." "It is plain that the Soviet Union has a vast head start in the acquisition of what might be described as intelli gence data regarding the Uni ted States and the free world," the department docu ment said. It was sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by Secretary of State Chris tian A. Herter. Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) made it public in connection with the committee's inquiry Into the U2 spy plane inci dent and the summit collapse.

OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1960 Irrigation Water Shortage Could Be Serious Here An irrigation water short age could be serious if the present hot, dry weather con tinues, according to Jackson County Watermaster D. C. Hendrix. - A serious shortage could oc cur by August or September, he explained. Use of water on almost all tributaries of Bear creek has been cut down to only those water-users entitled to it by legal water rights, he said. The Talent irrigation district has already been cut off from its Little Butte creek source, Hendrix said. Rogue River Valley and Talent districts already are drawing on their storage wa ter. The RVID started draw ing storage water from Fish lake Sunday. Talent district has been using stored water for several days from Howard Prairie reservoir. Medford Ir rigation district will try to stay off storage as long as possible, Manager Jack llofl buhr said today. Hendrix said the water could become seriously short by pear harvest time here. Us ually orchardists irrigate the first of August to allow the water to soak into the soil be fore they start harvesting. Many growers start picking about Aug. 15, he said. Irrigation districts are a month later in drawing on storage this year due to a wet, cool May. However, lower temperatures and much more moisture than usual will be required to bring the water supply up to normal this sum mer, the watermaster added.

Tribune T Says Policy Of Coexistence Wins in Kremlin Premier Seen Victor in Argument London (UPH Soviet Pre mier JVikitn S. Khrushchev has served notice on the Communist camp and the West that his policy of peace ful coexistence has won out in the Kremlin. Soviet affairs experts said today this was the essence of two consecutive major policy pronouncements made in of ficial Moscow publications within the past 72 hours. These sources quoted the official Communist Party newspaper Pravda and the in fluential party and govern ment organ "Sovetskaya Rossiya" as indicating that Khrushchev's policy of peace ful coexistence has been con firmed by the Kremlin. The premier, who is chief expo nent of this policy, apparently has emerged as the victor in an argument between extre mists and middle-of-the-road Communists in the Kremlin. Pravda strongly attacked the left-wing "tough line" ad vocates last Sunday. Sovet skaya Rossiya, the organ of the government and of the party of the Russian republic, the largest of the Soviet re publics delivered a similar at tack. The Khrushchev victory was understood to have been the outcome of behind the scenes discussions since the collapse of the summit in Paris last month. The discussions in the in ner circle of the Kremlin were believed to be still in progress in preparation for the import ant Communist party Central Committee meeting in Mos cow July 14.

Kennedy Lists ; Program for Foreign Policy Washington-dlPP-Sen. John F. Kennedy, front-runner for the Democratic nomination, set forth today a 12-point foreign policy program which he said would rescue the United States from "the increasing deterioration of America's world position." In a prepared Senate speech, billed in advance as a major foreign policy announcement, the Massachusetts Dem ocrat caustically hit out at both President Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon for having failed, in his opinion, to deal effectively with Soviet Premier Niklta Khrushchev. Deploring what he considered U.S. failure to deal with Khrushchev and the Russians from a position of strength, Kennedy sain: As a substitute for policy, Mr. Elsenhower has tried smiling at the Russians; our State Department has tried frowning at them; and Mr. Nixon has tried both. None have succeeded." In spelling out his foreign o 1 i c y program, Kennedy lacked the current U.S. stand gainst recognizing Red China admitting the Peiping re- ime to the United Nations. But he suggested bringing the Chinese Communists into the Geneva nuclear talks as a test of their good behavior. In his other proposals, he called for stronger U.S. de fenses, greater efforts to help nderdevelopcd and newly ndependent nations, attempts to "wean" restive satellite countries from Russia, and more flexible approaches to the Berlin and Middle East problems. Kennedy told the Senate there was "no point in return. ng to the summit until the United States developed "care fully prepared, long-term pol icies designed to increase the strength of the non-Commu nist world," in lieu of Eisen hower's "good intentions and ions principles." The lawmaker, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, placed major blame on Khrushchev for wrecking the summit confer ence but also sharply criti cized Eisenhower for his role.

"The negative attitude of the people of Japan (to Ameri can bases) is well known and is confirmed every day," So viet delegate A. Zorin said in reference to the riots last week in connection with the President's forthcoming trip to Tokyo. Danger Said Decreased Reports from Tokyo said that danger of such riots by antl American leftists had onsiderably decreased with in the past 24 hours. Zorin's charge that Ameri cans maintained foreign mili tary bases solely for "aggres sive" purposes came after the West's first stiff criticism of Russia's June 2 disarmament plan. France told Zorin that there was little point in con tinuing the present disarma ment talks unless Moscow ac cepted the idea that methods of control would have to be worked out simultaneously with arms cuts. Attack Sparked The western criticism ap peared to have sparked a free wheeling Soviet attack: against the U.S. and its chiet delegate, Fredrick M. Eaton. Zorin accused the United States ot maintaining military bases abroad for aggressive purposes, of rearming West Germany for that reason, ot ducking the disarmament is sue and, finally, of planning to transfer nuclear weapons to the German leaders of two World Wars."
