In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington:
Evidence that Russia has
tripled its arms lift to Laos
caused growing concern here
today that the Kremlin may
be stalling on a cease fire in
order to BUILD UP COM
MUNIST FORCES there. Re
liable diplomatic sources re
ported that the Soviet mili
tary airlift to Laotian com
munists has been three times
its normal size in the last day
or so.
There was speculation that
Russia has been rushing in
supplies in advance of the
Monsoon season, which is due
in the next few weeks. (The
point is that the heavy Mon
soon rains would hamper sup
ply activities. If the truce ends
in a shooting ruckus, and if
Russia is well supplied in Laos
with arms and ammunition
and we aren't ... POOF In
that event, it would be just
too bad for us.)
A LONG, the same line ,
Admiral Arleigh A. Burke,
U.S. chief of naval operations,
said in Chicago that totali
tarian communism MIGHT
conquer the world because of
what he termed Yankee opti
mism. He added: "Americans
often indulge in wishful thlnlr-
,lng."
Admiral Burke obviously
fears that we may be putting
too much faith in this Laotian
truce business. He seems to
be warning us to LOOK OUT.
ryo BACK UP Admiral Burke
let's quote another author
ity Rudyard Kipling In his
The Truce of the Bear: .
"Make ye no truce with
Adam-zad
me uettrinai wants nice a
man."
A THOUGHT:
" Let's hope we don't get so
excited about the Russians
beating us into space with a
manned satellite that we send
an American astronaut out
into the mysterious . yonder
TOO SOON.
That would be rough.
It would also be ' inexcusable.
POR EXAMPLE: !
There is the case of our
Discoverer rocket that failed
to detach its capsule in such
a way that it would come
back to earth to be picked up
somewhere in the ocean, as
the others have been.
Instead, it TOOK OFF
INTO ORBIT AROUND THE
EARTH or at least that was
so reported in the news. Sup
pose one of our astronauts had
been inside the capsule.

Try and Stop Me
' By BENNETT CERF
"T'VE FINALLY DEVELOPED a sure-fire way for waking
my husband up when I want him to take me out," a
contented wife confided to her pals at a bridge party. "I
just tiptoe up to him and
whisper, , "Darling, how
do you like my new mink
coat?"
. Proud father was wheel
rag bid new-born son down
Park Avenue when an ac
quaintance stopped and
suited, "That's your own
baby, I presume."
"Not at all," said the
proud father with elaborate,
sarcasm. "1 borrowed It
from the janitor."
"Hmpfch," mused the ac
quaintance, taking a closer
look. "Ugly little monster, Isn't he?"
."-.
George Qobel has persuaded his wife not to use perfumed
French soap for the family washing. It seems that his shirts kept
coming off the ironing board with their arms tightly wrapped
around each other.

Tidelands Bills,
With Safeguards,
Receive Approval
Salem - (DM) - A set of tide-
lands oil exploration bills,
rigged out with new safe
guards for the Oregon coast,
won 5-1 approval Wednesday
from the House Natural Re
sources Committee.
The revised bills contained
many, but not all, of t n e
changes proposed by Atty.
Gen. Robert Y. Thornton.
Rep. Juanita Orr (D-Lake
Grove) cast the dissenting
vote. She said she still was
not satisfied that coastal pro
tection was adequate.
The two bills would author
ize the Land Board to lease
blocks of offshore land to oil
firms for exploration and de
velopment. Funds would go
to schools.
The committee approved
the bills lonce, but yanked
them back after an attack by
Thornton which set off a po
litical flare-up before the com
mittee agreed to go along
with some ' of Thornton's
changes. .
No Beach Drilling
Incorporated into the re
vised bills were amendments
prohibiting drilling on beach
es, limiting permits to two
years subject to renewal, re
quiring disclosure of oil data
from lease-holders to the state,
requiring drilling operations
within two years instead of
five, trad spelling out "avoid
able pollution."
A third bill providing for
beach easements was tabled
since a similar measure al
ready has passed the legisla
ture in connection with a pro
posed plup mill at Gardiner.
The committee turned down
amendments to require data
from holders of exploratory
permits, to cut lease block
maximums from six-by-three
miles to three-by-three miles, ,
to spell out specific park pro
tections, and to set minimum
Instead of flat royalty rates.
Other Highlights
Three-Way Backers of
three-way workmen's compen
sation declared they will try
to force their bill from the
House Labor Committee, a
move that would require a
two-thirds vote of the House.
. Salaries The House ap
proved raises of several thou
sand dollars for the governor
and top state officials, and
$1,000 for district court judg
es. The governor would get
$20,000 instead of $17,500.
Timber Rep. Richard
Eymann (D-Mohawk) said he
will try to substitute a minor

Forestry association - compro

by his House Tax Committee.

Ullman Asks Speed On Sale of Timber
Washington - (UPD - Rep. Al
Ullman (D-Ore.) asked today
that sale of timber from the
former Klamath Indian lands
in Oregon be speeded up to
meet a "shortage of market
able timber" in the area.
Ullman, in a letter to forest
service chief Richard Mc
Ardle, said timber from the
newly acquired lands was
needed "to ease the economic
situation of the lumber indus
try in the area."
The timber lands previous
ly were managed for the
Klamath tribe by the Bureau
of Indian Affairs. Under the
program to terminate the
