American
Reaches Record Low,
Khrushchev Claims
Vienna fDPD - Soviet Pre
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev, in
a fresh attack on President
Eisenhower and the United
States, said Saturday night
that American prestige "has
never sunk so low" in the
world as it has since Japan
cancelled Eisenhower's visit.
Austrian leaders, officially
neutral in world affairs, were
startled to hear the visiting
Khrushchev drop his beaming
smile and attack "militarist"
American policy while vow
ing that Russia wants peace.
Accusations Renewed
Khrushchev climaxed his
five-day state visit to Austria
with an address before the
Austro-Soviet association in
the former Hapsburg palace
that raised again his accusa
tions over the U2 spy plane
incident and blamed the Unit
ed States for wrecking the
summit meeting in Paris.
"The Japanese people, as
you know have slammed their
door in the face of the Presi
dent of the United States,"
he said.
"A wave of indignation has
swept the world in reaction
to the American policy of
provocations. Never has the
prestige of the United States
sunk so low.
"So far." he added, "Wash
ington has never experienced
such a humiliation and never
has it had to pay such a price
for its imprudent playing
with fire.
Thought for Adenauer
Khrushchev said "this ex
perience" should give West

Former Portland
Auto Agent Fined
San Francisco-dJPD-John F.
Collins, 48, has been fined
$1,000 in U.S. District Court
for making false statements to
income tax officials when he
was a General Motors execu
tive in Portland, Ore., in 1949.
The false statements con
cerned the tax liability of
Collins' superior, Louis O.
Sumpter, because Collins de
nied soliciting kickbacks for
his company.
Collins had pleaded no con
test to charges that he him
self received $7,116 in under-
the-table payments from Chev
rolet dealers to enable them
to get more automobiles than
their assigned quotas and to
charges that he evaded $282
in taxes on the payments. Tax
evasion charges against him,
however, were dismissed.
State Surplus of
$40 Million Seen
Salem-IUPII-A Salem news
paper predicted Saturday that
the state will end the current
blennium with a surplus of
$40 million or more.
A front page story In the
Oregon Statesman said that
although "no state official was
ready to admit it, booming
tax collection rates and liq
uor sales, reduced govern
mental spending and higher
interest rates all pointed to a
balance in excess of $40 mil
lion. First estimates by the state
tax commission some time ago
put the anticipated surplus at
about $13 million. Gov. Mark
Hatfield earlier made an in
itial prediction of up to $28
million,
Prestige
Adenauer "something to think
about."
"A defeat for American pol
icy is, at the same time also
his defeat," he said.
The Soviet leader insisted
again that "ruling circles of
the United States torpedoed
the summit conference" with
their U2 spy plane.
Even some U.S. senators
got scared" when they learn
ed during their investigation
of the U2 spy plane of Ameri
can "political imprudence,"
Khrushchev said.
"The leading American
politicians have made espion
age state policy," he said.

Food-Drink Firms
To Challenge Rule
Portland - il'PD - Food and
drink establishment operators
indicated Saturday they would
challenge a new OLCC regu
lation setting a minimum per
centage of food sales by lio.-uor-by-the-drink
licensees that
became effective Friday.
The OLCC In its May U
rulings suid the sale of food
during every 00 day period
must be not loss than 25 per
cent of the gross receipts from
the sale of both food and alco
holic liquor.
The regulation does not ap
ply to private clubs. Officers
of the Oregon Restaurant and
Beverage association I n d i -cated
belief that the regula
tion was illegal and that any
such rule would require a
change in the statutes, either
by the legislature or by a vote
of the people.
Elston Ireland, president of
the association, has urged
each member to sell food
regularly and to make com
plete reports. He urged any
who might be cited for viola
tion of the regulation to make
prompt report to the associ
ation, presumably with legal
action in view.
