Editor's note: The foreign minis ters of the 21 American republics meet in San Jose, Costa Rica, today on grave problems confronting the Western Hemisphere. This is the second of two articles on the back- round and expected outcome 01 s he meetings. By DONALD MAY Washington- IUPD -"Cuba is a problem for all Latin Ameri can to handle," a U.S. diplo mat said recently. "Let's get away from thinking of 'Cuba versus the United States,." At the meeting of the for eign ministers of 21 American hemisphere nations in San Jose, Costa Rica, this week, the United States hopes to get a long-sought chance to apply this philosophy. The meeting, which Secre tary of State Christian A. Herter will attend, was called by Peru to consider "threats" to "democratic principles" in the hemisphere. It will follow a foreign ministers session be ginning Tuesday to discuss the Dominican Republic. The State Department many months ago made the decision that too-strong measures against Cuba by the United States itself would only in flame Latin American opinion and add to Soviet propaganda throughout the world. Through discreet diplomatic channels, it has tried to con vince Latin American coun tries to join in collective meas ures to deal with Cuba's brand of pro-Communism. Effort Mainly Uuhill The effort was mainly an uphill one. Through much of Latin America, Premier Fidel Castro's 18-month-old revolu tion still has strong support, especially among the poorer classes. U.S. diplomats report that even a fair sampling of Latin American landowners would side with Cuba or be reluc- tantly neutral on an issue of "Cuba versus the United States." But Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's July 9 threat to rain rockets on the United States if this country should Intervene in Cuba and Cuba's recent trade pacts with Russia have begun to awaken Latin American concern. The foreign ministers' meet ing is expected to warn the Kremlin to stay out oi west ern Hemisphere affairs. No Direct Action But U.S. officials see little indication that the meeting will directly condemn Castro in anything like strong terms or take any joint economic or political measures against him. In preparation for the meet ing, the State Department a week ago filed with the Inter American Peace Committee of the Organization of American States a 78-page memorandum accusing Cuba of trying to export its revolution and to upset hemisphere economics nil "in oDen league" with Russia and Communist China The document charged that the Cuban Communist Party is the only party functioning there, that newspapers, radio stations and labor unions have been placed under state con trol and that Castro is amass ing an army five times bigger than that of Dictator uigen- rin Batista whom he over- thrpw. Mpanwhile. Cuba has charg ed the United States in the United Nations Security (,oun cil with "economic aggres sion" in cutting its sugar Last July the council voted 4 r the case indefinitely until the OAS could deal with it. One U.S. strategy at the Costa Rica meeting will be, with Latin American backing, to refer the whole matter of Cuba, to a future OAS meeting. Must Mako Report This, diplomats hope, will gain block Cuba from pursu ing its case very far in the United Nations. The OAS still will have to make a report to the United Nations. The Costa Rica meeting is expected to operate on two levels-the public one with limited action concerning Cuba, and the closed subcom mittee level where U.S. and Latin diplomats hope to en gage in some frank discussion on measures they might hold in readiness to use against the Castro regime. Inter - American meetings have a way of passing mild resolutions which later turn into major new mechanisms of hemisphere relations. The gen eralities of the 1957 Buenos Aires meeting later produced the Inter-American Bank. Diplomats here say the Costa Rica meeting might in the long run be the forerun ner of new ways ot using tne OAS presence" in Latin America - a phrase borrowed from the United Nations-deal with threats to hemisphere se curity. Waiter Stands By Rule in IRS Case Milwaukee, Wis. - (UPD - If he didn't break the rule, he couldn't have broken the law. That's the stand taken by head-waiter Joseph Schmult zer of the Milwaukee Athletic Club against the Internal Rev enue Service. The government claims he owes taxes on more than $27: 000 received in tips. But Sch mutzer's reply is that the club has a rule against tipping, therefore the money members gave him must be considered non-taxable gifts. He said he is backed up by a 1954 tax court decision. If Schmutzer loses his suit in the tax court in Washing ton, he will have to pay the government more than $13,- 000 in taxes on the money, Generally Cooler Weather Predicted Washington - IUPD - The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts that it will be generally cooler than normal in the West and warmer than normal in the East during the next 30 days The forecast for the period from mid-August to mid-September said temperatures would be above seasonal aver ages in the eastern half of the United States except along the northern and southern borders. In the western half of the nation, generally below nor mal temperatures were ex pected except in the extreme Southwest. Rainfall is expected to ex ceed normal in most of the belt between the Rocky and Appalachian mountains with subnormal amounts predicted for the middle and south At lantic states and the Far West. Near normal precipitatioi was predicted in other areas. Grange News Phoenix Grange- Mrs. Bert Stancllff enter tained Phoenix Grange mem bers, Aug. 9, during the lec turer's program, with films of historic and scenic spots taken on their recent tour through the southern states. Lecturer Mrs. Ralph Swin gle reported Phoenix Grange won second place with their skit performed at the Grange Festival, July 30, at Eagle Point. Acting In the skit were Mrs. Stancllff and Warren Loffer. Vaughn Quackenbush re ported that sizing of Bartlett pears will be a problem; also that it has been proven that excessive hot weather will shrink some fruit. Fruit was measured to obtain this proof. The possibility of a short alfalfa seed supply was re ported by Charles Hocker- smith. Also a short hay crop will mean an increase in prices later so early purchas es were advised. He stated tne hogs were up slightly and sheep and wool were holding steady. During this report tne farm support program was ex plained and how all people can benefit by it, even though they are not farmers. It is a subject that should be thoroughly studied by all. Visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Roberts of Roxy Ann Grange. Roberts reported on insur ance and told about the new home in Portland of Grange Mutual Insurance. Several members were re ported ill. The serving committee were Mr. and Mrs. Chester Parker and Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Norton. Court Records Dr. Hummel said there were two ways to look at some of the expenses-items necessary to "keep face" with fellow students and as simple squan dering. He said "Those who coun sel with teen-agers have real ized that often those who are unhappy in school are those who cannot 'keep face' with their fellows." He also said "... $30 junior proms complete with after dance steak dinners, trip to the beach, orchids and tuxe dos or dinner jackets are not unusual for the 16-to-18-ycar-old set." Some activities, he said, are being priced out of the ability of the average family to take part.

Wall Street Chatter New York - IUPD - Despite dramatic Federal' Reserve board moves to ease money, Arthur Wiesenberger & Co. still feels that there is nothing in the financial or economic situation to suggest an early change in recent stock trends. It says, in fact, that there is a fair possibility that spread ing apprehension over devel opments abroad, especially in Africa, may bring about a stock price decline that would result in an oversold condi tion and, therefore, present a buying opportunity. DRAMA CRITIC DIES New York-flJPD-Mark Ben son, 55, drama critic for the Associated Press, died Mon day night. Religious Sect Told To Go Home Benson. Ariz. - (UPD - Mem bers of the Full Gospel As sembly church who had been living in bomb shelters since July 5 returned to their homes today.

They said they originally were In structed by the Lord to enter the shelters because of an impending nuclear attack. They spent six months building the six or eight shelt ers near their homes. About 35 members of the sect had left earlier. 'N y!S!av. 'LAGER' aa Buy the six-pak . rn AunJ Premium quality Lucky Lager in a new economy package!

Allen, a wrecking contrac tor, is a man who believes in really enjoying his work. Allen signed a contract for $64,000 to clear a 12-block site in West Oakland. He invested $2,000 in a World War II Sherman tank - and sped through the area leaving trails of destruction. The clouds of dust and de bris drew a crowd, including civic dignitaries willing to help Allen at his task without pay. But Allen just kept smashing away, having -too much fun to relinquish the controls of the tank to anyone. Vacation Bound?
