MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 1963
New Kalangese
Attack Reported
On The March
Another Round
Of Fighting Seen
Elisabethville, Katanga, The
Congo -IUPD- Katanga Interior
Minister Godefroid Munongo
said to be the power be
hind President Moise Tshom
be has reformed the shat
tered Katangese gendarmerie
and is marching on Elisabeth
ville with 1,000 men, UN
sources said Saturday.
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.

Arthur H. Dean
Resigns as U. S.
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.

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

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."

Legislation To
End ILA Strike
President Reported
Getting Concerned
New York -CPS- Sources
close to the administration
said Saturday there was
possibility President Kennedy
may seek anti-strike legisla
tion to end the H-day-old
strike of dockworkers on the
east and gulf coasts.
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirti declared that eventual
settlement of the strike was
"bound to have an effect on
the future of collective bar
gaining. Wirtz, who again met sep
arately with officials of the
International Longshoremen's
association (ILA) and New
York Shipping association
(NYSA), declined to refer to
specific legislation which
could result from the mari
time strike.
Sources Report
Sources close to the admin
istration said, however, that
the President is becoming in
creasingly concerned and may
seek anti-strike legislation to
end the 14-day-old walkoui
"Without speaking on spe
cific legislation," Wirtz said
in a statement, "I say this: A
particular case of this magni
tude is bound to have an ef
fect on the future of collective
baraining."
The labor secretary said
"any decision" on anti-strike
legislation "obviously would
be made by the President."
He proposed Saturday that
the ILA and NYSA break up
their full committees into sub
committees and hold joint
meetings. The subcommittees
would each handle one of the
six major issues involved in
the dispute.
ILA Rejects .
The ILA, however, rejected
the proposal. "Whatever we
do must be handled by the
full committee," said Thomas
W. (Teddy) Gleason, executive
vice president of the 75,000-
member union. The shippers
had agreed to the suggestion.
Alexander Chopin, chair
man of the NYSA, said later
that "if the union continues
to be adamant and refuses to
take suggestions from the la
bor secretary there cart be no
hope for a settlement."

Unemployment
Same as Year Ago
The number of unemployed
in December followed the usu
al pattern, but Was smaller in
size and came later than usual
considering seasonal trends,
according to John J. Patton,
manager of the Medford of
fice of the Oregon State Em
ployment service.
Several of these layoffs are
expected to be short while
others may continue for two
months or more.
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. Now there are
no Indications of major lay
offs for any other reason,
Patton concluded.

brother, Rep. Ed Edmondson
(D-Okls.) met behind closed
doors for several hours Satur
day and announced that a de

government dignitaries head
ed by President Kennedy.
Oklahoma Democratic lead
ers agree privately that the
choice probably will be for
the governor to resign and be
named to the post, but tt
could be that the governor
may decide to appoint his
brother, a 10-year veteran of
the House.
If Gov. Edmondson resigns.

Eisenhower Calls For 'Personal
Diplomacy' In Search for Peace
Kansas City, Mo. -SPB- For
mer President Dwight D. El
senhower called Saturday for
more personal diplomacy ana
government protocol tn
the search for world peace.
"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-

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.
The People-to-people trus
tees, in recognition of Mexico,
passed a resolution pledging
abiding respect and friend
ship" toward that neighboring
country. 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". Eisenhower said,
Alcman, who served as pres
