Drummond Reports (Walter Lippmann it in Europe. Roco Drummono) reporta from Washington in his absence.) SOVIETS VETO TEST BAN? ; Washington-We should be ready for bleak news on test ban and disarmament negotia tions with the- Soviets. I suspect the real state of affairs will soon be out in the open at Geneva. The Russians are now back ing away from any inspect able treaty to end the testing of nuclear weapons. There is yet no solid Soviet agreement to begin the talks on comprehensive disarma ment, Aug. 1. There is an appearance of an agreement, but Moscow has attached a condition. The U. S., Britain, France, Can ada, and the others are ready to resume the disarmement conference where they left off last year. Moscow says yes, but only if some additional na tions are brought to the con ference table. So there is nothing firm about the Aug. 1 date. ',- QJUCH news from Geneva O can only mean that the Soviets do not want to nego- tiate a test-ban agreement which has any element of se cure enforcement. Naturally they do not say so. That would be bad propaganda. But their actions reveal their intentions: 1-The United States and Britain have made seven sig nificant concessions to Soviet views on inspection. The Rus sians offer nothing in return. f 2-Actually the Soviet dele gate not only makes no re turn concessions, but he has withdrawn Russian approval of one of the most important agreements already reached in previous Geneva meetings -that a single neutral admin istrator be in charge of the test-ban control commission. 3Vln place of a single neu tral administrator, Moscow now says it will only accept a- three-man committee on which, at all points, each would ' have to agree before any inspection was author ized. r 4-This means that the So viet Union is demanding a to tal veto over any system of inspection designed to verify the test 'ban. ; This means inspection only at the will and wishes of the Kremlin. This means that the Soviets could stop the control machinery any time, any where. , , No wonder Vice President BEEFEATER BEEFEATER the imported English Gin that doubles BfFfpSEB your martini pleasure KsPIW Uncalled I since 1820 BEEFEATER GflN 94 PROOF 100 GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS KOBRAND CORPORATION . NEW YORK 1, N. V. V' ' ''' 1 '''''''' ' Counsel With .v. . : ' Mr. Insurance Fred Brennan Fred R. Brennan, C.I.A. welcome at MEDFORD INSURANCE Agency PHONE SP 3-7343 27 North Holly Street Lyndon B. Johnson, after con ferring with the American negotiators at Geneva, warned that the U. S. will not be lured into a treaty "just for the sake of a treaty", and will not accept a veto-locked in spection system. TT IS quite possible that the Soviets have decided that the value of a test-ban is not equal to the amount of inspec tion needed to make it work. Or, they might have decided that they can get the U. S. to continue the moratorium on testing without any inspection agreement at all. Whatever their reasons, the Soviet demand for a veto- laden control commission makes the outlook for any kind of disarmament agree ment nearly hopeless. It now seems clear that the Kremlin is insisting upon a veto over any international agency which could affect the Soviet Union. Their demand at Geneva for a "committee secretariat" to run the test ban control commission is ex actly what Premier Khrush chev has been demanding at the U. S.-a committee to run the secretariat of the United Nations with a Soviet veto over any action. Is there any reason to think that the Soviets will accept a veto-free inspection system for general disarmament when, they will not accept a veto-free, control commission to verify the test ban? Thus far the Soviet record at Geneva is a dismal dash ing of the hopes of the whole world for serious negotiation, (c) 19B1 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Company Promotes, Transfers Manager Gordon E.

Advice is free, and you are always In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS What about this John Birch Society? 1 The papers are full of it. The editorial writers are tak ing a crack at it. Hubert Hum phrey, the ultra-liberal, on one side, and Harry Goldwa ter, the leader' of the ultra conservatives, on the other side, are squaring off and making passes at each other about it. There is talk in Washington of a congressional investigation. In California, where some of the John Birch Society's principal organizers reside, the attorney general's office is reported to be making an in vestigation. A committee of the California legislature has begun hearings on the Soci ety. , WHAT'S all the shooting about? The John Birch, after whom the Society is named, appears to have been a rather vague sort of person who never did anything so very outstanding. The real hero of the play-or the villain-is a Robert Welch, who has written a book that he calls the Blue Book of the John Birch Society. 0 F THE book Eric Allen, editor of the Mail Trib une, says: With various prefaces, in troductions and postscripts, it consists of a series of lectures delivered in December of 1958 by its author (Welch) to a group of 11 men in Indian apolis. . . . The book and the Society had their birth in FEAR-fear of the 'Commu nist Conspiracy.' The book is not only a blueprint for action (against the Communist Conspiracy.) It is also a statement of phil osophy, rationale and ways and means. Both the book and the Society believe that un less something is done the communist TAKE-OVER is very near." WHY the controversy? Well, Author (and Society-Founder) Welch appears to believe that ultra-conserva tives are more to be depend ed on than ultra-liberals in the Battle of Armageddon that we must wage against commu nism if our way of life is to be preserved. ; That, not unnaturally, has led the ultra-liberals to look upon' Welch and his John Birch Society with extreme suspicion. They tend to hark back to what in its day was known as "McCarthyism" and to look upon Welch as another McCarthy. That seems to be about tne long and the short of the John Birch Society ruckus. WHAT to do about it? '. It seems to me it would be a good idea for level-headed, middle-of-the-road people to hold their fire for a while. To get a copy of the Welch book and read it. In a word, to draw THEIR OWN conclu sions about it instead of ac cepting somebody else's pos sibly prejudiced conclusions. Before we shoot this man Welch and burn his book, let's get a look at what he's driv ing at. YOU may ask: What kind of way to settle things is that? It's called ACADEMIC FREEDOM. THE classic example of aca Hpmip freedom is Vol taire's answer to a friend who had written him a lette. with which he disagreed on every point. Voltaire answered: "I disapprove everything you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." VOLTAIRE was thrown into the Bastille repeatedly for saying (and writing) what he thought about the corrupt and powerful rulers of France in its days of absolute monarchy, but he lived to become the idol of the common people of France and to be regarded generally as one of the world s great champions or freedom of thought and speech. Polish Immigrant Arrested as Spy Montreal flJPi) Royal Ca nadian Mounted Police today prepared an espionage case against Tomasz Biernacki, 37, a Polish immigrant arrested on a spy charge with a ticket to Poland in his pocket. Biernacki, described by his local employer as a "brilliant hydraulics engineer," was ar raigned Monday on charges of spying for a foreign power Sessions Judge Paul Hurteau refused bail and set prelimi nary hearing for April 18. Although the foreign power was not named, a reliable source said Biernacki was sus pected of supplying drawings, plans and documents to Rus sia between May 18 last year and his arrest Saturday. RCMP Supt. W. Milligan refused to disclose what kind of secrets Biernacki was ac cused of obtaining. I . MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. Water Storage in Rogue Basin Said To Be Sufficient Present storage in the Tal ent d i v s i o n of the Rogue River basin project is suffici ent to meet the season's ir rigation requirements and still provide a substantial reser voir carryover for future years, according to a report from H. T. Nelson, regional director of the bureau of re clamation. The 1961 irrigation water supply outlook in southern Oregon has greatly improved due to cool-wet March storms, according to the water supply outlook of Rogue, Umpqua watersheds made by the soil conservation service and the state engineer. Snowpack Increased Due to the storms there have been unusually heavy increas es in the mountain snowpack which is now 20 to 30 per cent greater than last year but still below average, according to the report. Stored water supplies are still short in Fourmile, Fish Lake and Hiatt reservoirs, but excellent storage in Emigrant and Howard Prairie reservoirs will offset this shortage par tially the SCS explained. Reporting on the local area House Minority Leader, Duncan In Political Row Salem-IUPD-House Minority Leader F. F. Montgomery and Speaker Robert B. Duncan got into political squabble Monday over whether House Republicans are dumping the governor's program on men tal health. Montgomery, Eugene Re publican, took issue with Dun can who said "Democratic members of the House State and Federal Affairs Commit tee had "kept alive" a pro posed mental health division while GOP members voted against it. In 'Grave Error' ' Montgomery issued a state ment saying Duncan, Medford Democrat, was in "grave er ror." Republican members of the committee "never once op posed the division, including mental health clinics, Mont gomery said. . ' Montgomery earlier ex plained that Republican com mittee members voted no against including five state mental institutions under the division because the feeling was the bill might not pass with them included. The. bill is part of Gov. Mark Hatfield's government reorganization plan and while counter to Hatfield's original proposal, Montgomery said p row division without the in stitutions would be better than nothing at all. Grateful to 'Speaker The committee finally de cided to go along with Hat field s original recommenda tion, and this is when the GOP members voted no-but only on the issue of restora tion of the institutions in the bill, he said. "We are grateful to the speaker for his endorsement of Gov. Hatfields program. Montgomery said, "and urge him to apply what influence h- has in rushing the bill through the ways and means committee. McCann's Daughters Arrive in Manila Manila -(UPD- The daughters of 'Robert E. McCann, Alta dena, Calif., American busi nessman dying of cancer con tracted In Communist captivi ty, arrived today in a transpa cific jet dash to their father s bedside.

Flow of Rogue River at Raygold will be 83 per cent average and minimum low flow is not expected to drop below 1,030 cubic feet per second if the summer rain fall and temperatures are av erage, the SCS pointed out. Canal alteration should not be necessary for the Grants Pass irrigation district. Discharge of the north and south forks of Little Butte creek are estimated at 72 and 67 per cent average for the next six months. Inflow to Fourmile and Hyatt lakes is estimated to be 6,000 acre feet and 3,000 acre feet, re spectively, during the next six months. The Applegats and Illinois rivers are forecast to flow 91 and 82 per cent of their aver age April through September. Contributing to this stream- flow is the snow cover with a water content on the Ump qua estimated at 78 per cent of the1 15 year average (1943- 57) and 120 per cent of last year. On the main Rogue river, snow is 91 per cent of average and 128 per cent of last year. On the Applegate Illinois watersheds, snow is 88 per cent of average and 127 per cent of last year. Moisture Satisfactory Moisture in the soil mantle (top four feet) of these water sheds is very satisfactory and will favor spring riinoff from melting snow," the outlook report stated. ; . Usable reservoir storage in the three reservoirs in the Talent division of the Rogue River basin project totalled 49,000 acre feet at the end of March. This is more than double that of a year ago, the bureau of reclamation report stated. The favorable local picture is largely the result of new reservoir storage capacity created by the recent const ruction of Howard Prairie re servoir and the enlargement of the Emigrant reservoir. This is the first year in which full coordinated operation of the three reservoirs is poss- loie, JNeison wrote.

Eisenhower to Oregon in October. The governor placed his thumb print on a giant leather fishing permit from the Grants Pass Cavemen for Eisen hower to use on a boat trip down the Rogue River. Sen. E. D. Potts (D-Grants Pass) said Eisenhower has indicated he will make the visit. ' The "Caveman Domain Fishing License" was printed on on a piece of leather more than a foot square. Potts said Hatfield was supposed to mark it in blood, but lipstick would do. Hatfield also is invited on governor of the Cavemen, he Pre-Stressed Be Used for First Time In Valley in Marrs R. Gibbons, owner of the Builders Supply com pany, Medford, told a Cham ber of Commerce roundtable group Monday that pre-stress-ed concrete, currently seeing its first use in the valley in construction of the new free way, is only in its beginnings. Gibbons said pre-stressed concrete beams are already re placing steel in the construc tion of bridges and buildings, and predicted that they will be put to even more uses in the future. But, while this kind of con crete may be replacing steel to some extent, it is also large ly dependent on steel for its success. This was pointed out during a movie shown at the roundtable yesterday which was produced by the Cala veras Cement company. Pre-stressed concrete is made by pouring a .concrete mixture around tensioned steel cables. The cables have been stretched to the desired extension and are held in place by moorings at either end of the concrete mold. Usually the steel cables are curved downward in the con crete molding so that when the concrete has set and the moorings are released the cable exerts an upward pres sure. This pressure serves to counteract the pull of gravity and assures that the concrete structure will keep its intend ed shape, 1J8AIMCIN .23 ZEE TOWELS 1.19 HALO SHAMPOO JOHNSON'S PLEDGE Waxed beauty latently ai WUJW ftfEMErXn I llEiH - l- I Pattern .rr nm1' a sunbeam ra value -- - aaw . . . va- -.

Concrete To New Freeway The advantages of pre-stres sed concrete, acording to Gib bons, is that it requires less maintenance than other build ing materials, it is more dur able and it eliminates much job-site labor. The concrete forms for a bridge, for in stance can be prepared at a plant and then moved to the construction sue and put in place at will. Gibbons said a 35-story building has recently been erected in Los Angeles, using pre-stressed concrete, and saved its builders $2'2 million over wnat it would have cost had structural steel been used. This kind of concrete will be used more and more in spanning long distances with out having lower supports, according to the film. Pre-stressed concrete has been in use for a couple of decades in Europe, paticularly Germany, Gibbons said, but it has only recently been put into much use in the United States. The Builders Supply com pany is curently making pre stressed concrete beams at its plant at 727 West McAn- drews rd., for use in the new freeway. Gibbons said this will be the first time pre-stressed concrete has been used in this area Gas now heats more than 19,000,000 United States homes. .. t , I GLADE I TUESDAY. APRIL II.
