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withdrawn Russian approval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. ,

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,

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.

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.

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.

water supply outlook further,
the SCS noted that stream
flow forecasts have increased
from 10 to 22 per cent due to
heavy mountain snowpack in
creases. 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.

Hatfield Signs Invitation
To Ike With Lipstick

on an invitation to bring ex-President Dwight
D. 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. '

on a piece of leather more than a foot square. Potts said
Hatfield was supposed to mark it in blood, but lipstick
would do.

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,

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
