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. He landed first
at the Clark AFB, 60 miles
north of here, and then com
pleted the journey in his propeller-driven
Columbia III to
Manila's new International
Airport.
After an emotional "wel
come home" greeting by Phil
ippines President Carlos P.
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.

The report said that in ad

is abetted "by members of
foreign Communist parties,
numbering some 4,000,000 ad

"It is plain that the Soviet

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.

Soviet Delegate
On Disarmament
Hurls Charges
Geneva-OJPD-Russia dropped
its mask of sweet reasonable
ness at the ten-nation disarm
amcnt conference today by
bitterly attacking U.S. mili
tarists and warning President
Eisenhower of the riots await
ing him in Japan because of
them.
"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."
Mining Assessment
Year Change Noted
The mining assessment
work year has been changed
according to an amendment to
the U. S. mining laws, Mrs.
Thelma Mclntyre, clerk and
recorder In the county clerk's
office, said today.
Although it was changed in
1958, a number of miners are
still submitting affidavits ot
labor based on a year running
from July 1 to June 30. Tha
amendment specifies that an
nual assessment work on un
patented mineral claims must
be done f rom Sept. 1 to
Aug. 31.
Those miners who continus
to file assessment work for tha
wrong period may find their
claims proved worthless, Mrs.
