At' the same time Badio Free Katanga said UN forces which seized Jadotville ear lier this week had resumed their drive on Tshombe's head quarters town of Koiwezi and had driven 40 miles from Ja dotville against "fierce resist ance." Jadotville is 80 miles from Koiwezi. Major Blow The Katanga communique said UN troops were stopped between Mulunghishi, 20 miles northwest of Jadotville, and Nguba, 20 miles farther on, "by violent battles." UN sources indicated earlier their forces had halted at Jadotville to await a Tshombe peace feeler. (Tshombe suffered a major blow to his efforts to halt the disintegration of his regime when the UN announced that Big Chief Kasongo Nyembo of the Baluba tribesmen, a co-founder of an independent Katanga, had deserted Tshom be to cooperate with the UN. He controls the Kamina area.) UN reports said Munongo was marching up from the northern Rhodesian border. The development threaten ed to explode a new round of fighting in the mineral rich province. It came as UN Un dersecretary Ralph Bunche ar rived in Leopoldville and gave the green light for further military operations against Katanga President Moise Tshombe. 3 More Targets Bunche pinpointed three more main military objectives including Tshombe's strong hold at Koiwezi and Sakania. Sakania is located on the bor der of northern Rhodesia, 100 miles southeast of Elisabeth ville, from which the Katan gese were reported moving with at least six armored ve hicles. The United Notions sent a civilian train with Red Cross markings down the railway line toward the Sakania area late Saturday to test the re action of Munongo's gen darmes. It appeared obvious Bunche was hoping to withhold these major UN strikes until Secre tary General Thant's two week ultimatum to Tshombe to talk peace or face renewed warfare expires Jan. 14, The new Katangese offensive could change all that, however.

Chief Negotiator Washington - il'PD - When the East-West disarmament conference at' Geneva recon venes on Jan. 15, the United States will be represented by a new chief negotiator, to succeed veteran cold war dip lomat Arthur H. Dean. Dean's resignation, after two years on the job wtihoul pay, was revealed Friday. Russia probably will re place Deputy Foreign Minister- Valerian Zorin in the disarmament job, as he was also replaced as chief of the Soviet delegation to the Unit ed Nations. Dean and Zorin, both of whom have represented their governments in difficult sit uations for many years, have negotiated in Geneva during the last two years without substantial progress. Dean has been identified with the Anglo - American hard line" on test ban in spection, a position which the Soviets have rejected. It was felt in Geneva that a new ne gotiator would begin new ef forts for a test ban treaty with a psychological advan tage. Adrian Fisher, deputy di rector of the Arms Control and Disarmament agency, has been mentioned as possible successor to Dean.

Hatfield Rejects Jeannace Plea, But Decision Not Final Salem - WW"-" A plea for commutation of the death sen tence of child slayer Jeannace June Freeman has been re jected, the governor's office announced Saturday. , Travis Cross, press secre tary for Gov. Mark Hatfield. said the governor "found nothing m the case at this time as the result of the pres entation earlier this week which warrants the exercise of the extraordinary relief of executive clemency." Cross made it clear the re jection applied only to the presentation made for com mutation Thursday by attor neys William M. Holmes and Cash , R, ' Perrine, both of Bend. Cross said Hatfield was continuing to read transcripts and other documents in the case "before announcing a final decision. Miss Freeman, 21, is sched uled to die in the gas cham ber Jan. 29 for the slaying of a six-year-old in central Ore gon in 1861. Talent Election Case To Be Aired Talent A hearing will be held in Jackson County Cir cuit court before Judge James M. Main Monday at 1:30 p.m. to determine whether the Nov. 6, 1862 Talent city elec tion should be held over again. The hearing will be on a petition filed by John W. Tompkins, former Talent city councilman, who was defeat ed in the election. Tompkins is contesting the election because 45 of the bal lots were incorrectly printed. The name of one of the city council candidates, Eddie Lunsford, was listed as a can didate for mayor as well as council on those 45 ballots, while the name of one of the mayor candidates, Edward Switzcr, was left off entirely. When asked to explain what was meant by "at this time,'. Cross replied "ih ef fect - the governor - has re jected their (the attorneys') presentation, but he is not yet prepared to announce a final decision in the case. Cross said the attorneys, while meeting with Hatfield on Thursday, discussed a change of venue, subsequent testimony taken by the at torneys after the trial and the philosophy of capital punish ment, in addition to Miss Freeman's six-point formal re quest for commutation to life imprisonment. Cross revealed Miss Free man had sent an 11-page handwritten letter to Hat field. He said the letter asks clemency. He said the letter "dis cussed the case," and that no where in the letter does Miss Freeman either admit nor deny her guilt. He said nearly 400 letters on the case had been received by the governor's office to date. They run "more than 2V4-1 against execution," he said. Cross said Hatfield advised Holmes and Perrine that he was still studying the case, and gave the attorneys his private telephone number so there could be quick com munication between the at torneys and the governor. Earlier, Hatfield announced there would be no eleventh hour decisions in the case, and that he would announce his final decision in "plenty of time."

As of the week ending Dec. 20, the rate -of insured unem ployment for Jackson county was 7.3 per cent, the same as a year ago. Local employment remained high throughout the fall and layoffs ere far less severe than those experienced in the same period two and three years ago, when the rate was 12.9 and 10.9 per cent, respectively. The fruit industry complet ed its gift packing but this had little effect on the num ber of unemployed job-seek crs because the many women employees arc not counted as unemployed persons. Limited "Job opportunities will be limited for the next 60 ilsys and new hiring is notably slower," Patton said. "This Is a normal condition tor toe season." Retail trade firms reported a good December with a high peak of activity during the 10 days before Christmas. Only agricultural work need ing labor is orchard pruning. Orchardists need experienced pruncrs, Patton said. "The weather pattern "for the coming months it likely to determine the amount of unemployment.

"I think there is a definite grass roots interest among the peoples of the world to make governments get out of their way te their own attempts to establish a free world," Elsen hower said at the first annual trustees meeting of Pcople-io- People. Eisenhower, chairman of Pcopie-to-Peopie, and two oth er former heads of state, Har ry S Truman and Miguel Ate man of Mexico, joined in the session dedicated as a "salute to Mexico." The three were to he honored at a dinner iast night. "No people, as a people. want war," Eisenhower said at the meeting. "But the gov ernments are in their way. to a degree, because govern ments are concerned primari- !y with the interests of the ; home front." ' Eisenhower founded Pco pie-to-Peopie while he was President in 1858 and helped to reorganize it in 1981 as a private citizens group seeking to promote world understanding.

Before passage, how ever, the. resolution was amended by Eisenhower so that it came from Peopte-to-Paopie participants rather than from the "people of the United States," as originally written, "I think only the President or the Congress could pass such a resolution on behalf of the people of the United States".
