Wants Arms Limit Says Byrnes WASHINGTON, Muy 21) (IF) Secretary of Stato Byrnes told a congressional committee today thut tliu United State la going to work for "limitation of arms" among the natlona of the world "Wo dealrc to aeo tho world free from the fears nnd burdens which unnecessarily large armed forces would lmiiose on the peoples of tho world," Byrnes declared. Ho made the statement, with out further elaboration, after urging congressional approval of legislation providing for a broad program of "military coopera tion with oilier Ainericun na tlona. Aa he went before the com mittee, American official looked to Moscow for Huaslun reaction to Byrne' denial yesterday of Foreign Minister Molotov' charge against him and the United Statea growing out of tho foreign ministers conference In Paris. No Accusation Mad Byrnes, at a 40-mlmitc news conference, refrained from accus ing Russia directly of acting in bad faith. But, reading directly from the stenographic record of Interna tional conferences at London, Moscow and Paris, ho made these main points: Thero Is no British-American "bloc" against Russia. Generalissimo Stnlln agreed at Moscow lust December to aup- port the American plan for a Big Four treaty to keep Germany disarmed for 23 years. Molotov at Paris May 10 acknowledged that Stalin had agreed to the treaty idea, (Molo tov denied this Monday.) Russia backed out o'f a plan to which Molotov had agreed curlier for a thorough Investiga tion, In all four German occupa tion zones, of the disarmament of the German army and the dismantling of war plants. Flood Leaves Dismal Wake By Tha Associated Press Leaving death nnd destruction In Its wnke through north-central Pennsylvania und southern New York, the rampaging Susque hanna river flood crest surged southward today after overflow ing its banks into cities and rich farmlands. At least 10 persons drowned nnd four others were missing in the muddy waters, which started rising rapidly Monday night after four days of almost con tinuous rnlns. Estimntes of dnm nge exceeded $3,000,000. Thou sands were homeless. The U. S. weather bureau In Hnrrisburg, Pennsylvania's cap ital, announced a cresUof 31.7 feet more than nino fcot nbove floor was reached at Wilkes Burrc nnd said the brown, churn ing waters were near this penk In Sunbury, miles downstream. Thero the river was seven feet over Its banks nnd had cut the community of 14,000 practically In two. The lcvol of 22.5 feet wns pre dicted for Hnrrisburg some time tonight. Streets there were nlrcudy flooded In low-lying areas nnd more thnn 100 families have been evacuated. Some ar terial highways hnve been cut by rising wnters.

South Sixth Street Work To Ease Arterial Traffic By LOIS STEWART Klamath county and the city of Klamath Falls came in for one of tho biggest postwar jobs on the Oregon state highway's 1946 program with the one million dollar widening project of South Sixth street leading nut of town. The project, which was well under way this week, runs from the OC&E tracks just beyond the viaduct to some 800 feet east of the USBR canal near Etna street. The six-lane highway, includ ing four lanes for traffic and two for parking, is due for comple tion December 31, 1946, if all materials arc available for the numerous jobs which make up the project. Motorists driving out S. 6lh this pnst weekend were startled to sec the destruction of many fine old elms which have shaded that stretch for many years. This is the initial stop in clearing tho right-of-way nnd the rest of Uie work goes on from there. Warren Northwest, Inc., holds the mnjor contract with the Ore gon state highway department for $382,000. This Is for actual construction. An additional 10 engineering expense. Tho Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com pany anticipates spending around Siamese Plaint Gets Deaf Ear NEW YORK, Mny 29 (IF) A SDokesmnn for Trygve Lie, United Nntions sccretnry general, said; todny Lie would not put before the UN security council a Siamese allegation that French soldiers have seized Siamese ter ritory In unjustified aggres sion' The spokesman pointed out I Hint the case could be brought up by any member of the secur ity council who desired to do so but there hnd been no word from anv council member that such action would be taken. It wns recalled, however, that a British foreign office spokes man snid In London yesterday that Britain would support Sinm in plnclng the border dispute before the security council. The United Nntions spokesmnn explained that the Siamese tele gram called attention to uronch "attacks" and aslcod Lie's "sym pathy, your assistance and co operation" but did not invoke t h e United Nntions charter. Therefore, he went on, Lie did not regard the letter as officially asking the council to take action. It was the first time that a non-member of the United Nn tions hnd appcnlcd to the world pence keeping agency, and the complaint thus was given an odd twist by the fact thut Sinm is a former enemy nntion ns well as a non-member, while France is not only a member but was an ally in the war against the axis. Grand Jury Hits Portland Jail PORTLAND; May 29 (VP) Multnomnh county's grand jury reported todny Hint the Portland city jnil needs improvement. Slmllnr reports hnve been mndo almost monthly since lnte fall. Todny's criticism wns on the women's quarters which tho grand Jury called "abominably congested and unsanitary," l KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, WEDNE8DAY, f r which haT cast thaii ihad ovar first tap in the iour-lan highway projact got under way. Bunnell property and ar being bucked into logs to ba carted $105,000, and the California Ore gon Power company, approxi mately $100,000. In addition there Is a $9000 expenditure for a lighting project and other lesser amounts. The right-of-way figure, a $14,500 bridge job, and other miscellaneous expense make up the balance of the million dollar estimate. Strwt Will Not Br Closed' "J Perry Whitmore, resident en gineer of the Oregon state high way department, said todny that taking everything into considera tion, the widening project should be ready to turn over to the state by the first of the year and that at no time will it be neces sary to completely close any sec tion of S. 6th to traffic. Warren Northwest put ma terial on the ground here May 20. Work of clearing the right-of-way started with removal of trees which was done with trac tors and a guy line. Trees were still being removed this week. Clearing of buildings and moving structures back from the new line is the next step and follow ing this clearance, Northwest will follow with installation of all underground pipe drains, cul verts and sewers. Grading is next on the agenda along with making necessary excavations and fills. Sixteen inches of crushed rock for sur facing purposes will be laid on cither side of the existing pave ment and the crews will also pave on top the present highway with an asphaltic concrete mix, putting this same material on the crushed rock base. Additional work, as set forth in Northwest's contract, is for construction of concrete islands, traffic separators, sidewalks, curbs and gutters. Whitmore said he expected a continual flow of traffic over's. 6th, despite the heavy construc tion program. He said that work would be done on one side at a time and that traffic would neces sarily be slowed down. "We would like to have at least part of the traffic detour over Shasta way, but the street will not be closed at any time along its full width," Whitmore advised. . Eugene Man Has Contract Hnrry Hamilton of Eugene holds a sub-contract with Warren Northwest and will do approxi mately 37 per cent of the work including all concrete nnd pipe jobs. Hamilton also holds a big contract for Pacific Tel's job. , Northwest's superintendent is Bob Batie of Portland.

Loan Will In Repairing WASHINGTON. May 29 m France turned with renewed vigor today to the job of getting back on her feet, backed by a loan of $1,370,000,000 from the United States. The two countries made a number of agreements in con nection with the credit arrange ment which President Truman and French President Felix Gouin announced jointly last night. The loan talks began here 12 weeks ago. French officials estimated the money would finance at least one year of their country's four year rehabilitation plan, In addition to the credit the United States promises these things: 1. To help France sell her goods here. This might mean an ultimate reduction in American tariffs on French goods. 2. An , additional credit of perhaps $25,000,000 to buy about 750,000 tons of American chipping. Tariff Pledge France, in turn, pledged itself not to raise its tariffs on Ameri can products and joined with the United State and Britain In Mar n Mai. (Mar II Ml. .

May 29 (IP) The house today passed and sent to President Truman the senate's version of the Case strike-control bill. Passage was by a roll call vote of 230 to 106, slightly more than the two-thirds majority re quired to override a veto if the president rejects the measure. WASHINGTON, May 29 (IF) Following 1 th Oregon roll call on th senate reriion of th Cos labor bill. nt to President Truman today: Republican fori Elliwoith, Norblad and Stockman. Republican against: Angell of Oregon. The senate voted 49 to 29 for the bill last Saturday. The party breakdown on the roll call vote: 98 democrats and 132 republicans for the measure; 91 democrats, 13 republicans and 2 minor party members against it. As rewritten by the senate, the measure contains a prohibition against employer contributions to union-administered welfare funds, and provides for a 60-day pre-strike cooling off period. Veto Possibility Amid veiled hints that its ac tion would bring veto, the house rammed the legislation through by a roll-call vote after two hours of debate. Congressional action on the controversial Case bill was com pleted as the senate neared a vote (2 p. m. PST) on the presi dent's request for emergency legislation to draft strikers who refuse to work lor the govern ment. Senator Ellender fD-La) told reporters after a White House call that Mr. Trutnan wax de termined on having the emer gency powers he requested in a speech before congress last Sat urday. On his own cart. Ellender said he felt the president should have "sufficient power to pro tect the country from Internal enemies, and from uncontrol lable labor leaders." He declared that a nation which can draft men to fight "enemies on the outside" should be able to "protect itself" from situations at home. U. S. Demands Jap Democracy TOKYO, May 29 (If) The United States today bluntly warned minority grouos which seek to undermine democracy against attempting to organize Uie Japanese. Just two weeks ago, it said just as bluntly it does not want communism in Japan. Both warnings came from George Atcheson Jr., American chairman of the allied council for Japan. He told the group: "We do not want to see the Japanese people once more lined up in columns, clothed in uni forms and regimented in any kind of totalitarianism thought." His statement came as he ex plained to the council that he was unable to substantiate al legations made in an unsigned Japanese May Day message which charged that "reactionary elements" had interfered in the April elections and that some of General MacArthur's direc tives had been flouted. Aid France War Damages their campaign to expand world trade through lowered taruis everywhere. Of the $1,370,000,000 total, France will get: 1. A direct loan of $650,000, 000. The interest is 3 per cent. It must be repaid in 25 years. 2. Credit for $720,000,000 more. The interest is 2 per cent. This must be repaid in 35 years. Repayment of the principal won't begin for the first five years. If France has a year of "ex traordinary and adverse econom ic conditions" the U. S. will de cide on this France in that year can defer repayment completely. As a result of the agreement, the U. S. wrote off $266,000,000 in lend-lease supplied to France during the war. France's re verse lend-lease to the United States was about $800,000,000. France will use about $300, 000,000 of the American credit to buy American surplus equip ment in France and French ter ritories. For example: Trucks, rolling stock, com munications equipment and air fields which the United States built on French territory. Levis And (rug Sign Agreement To Reopen Pit's WASHINGTON, May 29 (Jf) Interior Secretary Krug ana nounced today an agreement ending the coal strike. Krug told newsmen he and John L. Lewis had signed the con tract and that Lewi indicated he would order the United Mlna Workers back to work immediately. The announcement wa made at the White House after th signing in the presence of President Truman. Krug said the agreement "settles matter between the govern mem as operator of the bltunvi inou coal mine and the United Mine Workers." He added: "Mr. Lewis has just indicated he will order the miner back to work Immediately." Volume Production Monday Lewis, who had stood silent during Krug's announcement, said volume production could not be achieved until Monday. Almost simultaneously with the emergence of Lewis and Krug from the president's of fice, the solid fuels administra tion released the terms in gen eral. They are: 1. Wages, a basic hourly In crease of 18 '4 cents, which with overtime makes a daily increase of $1.85. 2. A welfare and retirement fund financed by 5 cents a ton on coal produced unofficially estimated as yielding $25,000, 000 to $30,000,000 annually. This fund is to be used for sick ness, disability, death or retire ment benefits, and to be man aged by a three-man board of trustees of which one would be appointed by the union, one by Krug, and a third by the first two appointees. 3. A medical and hospital fund financed from deductions now made from miners' pay for those purposes and to be ad ministered by trustees appoint ed by Lewis. Complementary Fund The two funds mentioned In 2 and 3 would complement each other. 4. The wage Increase is cou pled with a provision for over time after seven hours each day. The official release of the coal mines administration set up by Krug made no mention of the number of days a week. 5. A federal mine safety code to be issued by the bureau of mines director with periodic in spections by federal inspectors and with local unions to select mine safety committee at each mine to report violations. 6. Krug, as mines administra tor would be guided by national labor relations board decisions concerning unionization of su pervisory workers not hitherto included in the union. 7. A comprehensive survey of hospital and medical facilities, medical treatment, sanitary and housing conditions iri coal min ing areas to determine what im provements are necessary "to bring these up to recognized American standards." 8. On Lewis' demand for compliance with workmen's compensation and occupational disease laws, Krug will direct his mine managers to comply with state laws whether elec tive or compulsory. Chiang Blamed By China Reds NANKING. Mav 29 (Jf) Gen. Chou En-lai, China's No. 2 com munist, today asserted that Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek per sonally had taken over direc tion of the government's Man churian campaign. He asserted the situation in civil war-ravaged Manchuria had taken a "critical turn." The topflight communist made his statement to The Associated Press a few hours later after the gov ernment's Central News agency reported that national troops had captured the im portant city of Kirin (Yungki) from communists. Chou's assertion was the first jarring note to disturb the hope ful atmosphere that prevaded China the past few days. The communist leader is his party's negotiator in peace discussions with government officials and General Marshall, U. S. envoy. OPA Increases Prices On Lead WASHINGTON, May 29 (IF) OPA today announced increases in maximum base prices for cop ter, lead, secondary lead, lead scrap materials and primary and secondary antimonial lead, effective June 3. The price hikes were granted to offset what OPA termed "steady increases in costs, both labor and material, in the cop per mining and lead mining in dustries." Senate Line-Up WASHINGTON. May 29 (IP) Here is how Washington, Ore gon and California senators line up on the strike-draft pro vision of President Truman' emergency labor bill: Democrats against: Ma gnu son. Mitchell and Downey. Republicans against: Morse, Knowland. Republicans for: Cordon. - Federal Court Dockets Cases Five prisoners will be up for sentence, one of them Willard Williams who wa convicted of second degree murder in the stabbing of Egbert Hugo Smith, during the session of federal court here beginning next Tues day, June 4. Three civil cases are set for trial during the session, and Judge James Alger Fee of Port land, assigned to the court, has ordered federal jurors to report June 6. The civil cases are reported by the clerk' office in Portland as Chester Bowles, OPA admin istrator, against M. T. Bratton and others; Alma F. Hall against Sears Roebuck and company, and Ernest Newcomb against tha Southern Pacific company. New Year's Stabbing Willard Williams was convict ed of stabbing Smith in the throat with a pocketknife during Beatty early in the morning of January 1. Both are Klamath Indians. V Osborn Lee "Beegie" Ball, Klamath Indian, is also up for sentence on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. He pleaded guilty to stabbing Lola Gallagher, February 9. Law rence Dale Jackson, who pleaded guilty to assault with a danger ous weapon, and two juvenile ara fitjtn in h .pnlnnrwl Accompanying Judge Fee to Klamath Falls for the first regu lar term of federal court hers will be Esther Davis, the judge's secretary; Lowell Mundorff, clerk; Hal Kenyon, deputy clerk; Edward D. Twining, dep uty district .attorney, and Jack: Caufieid, marshal,. . No grand jury has been called for this session. Bread Famine Hits Klamath Many a Klamath housewife whipped out a pan of. biscuit for her family last night after she shopped late for bread Vti found the bakery shelves empty. Witk . l.w-al halrariai, ftittlntf their production approximately 25 per cent, supplies ran out about 4 o'clock Tuesday after noon. . Customers, as a rule, are taking the shortage with appar ent good grace, bakery at tendants said today although a few were "put out." Starting with Saturday morn ing's delivery, the federal order? reducing the weight of bread 10 per cent will go into effect. This is supposed to take care of the normal waste and will, in turn, supply tons of flour to be divert ed into other channels including the feeding of the world's starv ing millions. Klamath bakeries, checked this afternoon, said they were cooperating to the best of their ability and had cut down a lot of the fancy stuff which usually decked their showcases. One bakery said "no more hard rolls, no special pastries and no wed ding cakes, no pies except to restaurants, and just a couple of kinds of bread." Another bak ery advised sandwich bread, tea biscuits, packaged buns and pies were limited to restaurants. Cakes were kept up on a 73 per cent average. The new flour, which lack! the whiteness of the old type, has brought praise from con sumers and not complaints, one bakery manager said today. The flour, which is slightly brown in color, produces a tastier loaf in the opinion of many. As far as pastry is concerned, if the housewife can keep enough sugar in the bin, there will be a return of cakes, pies, turn overs and apple pan dowdy to) the table as the commercial source is cut. Hard Coal Strike Call Threatened NEW YORK, May 29 (IP)-, The AFL United Mine Worker: today notified anthracite opera tors that they would not agree to an extension of the present contract, which ends midnight tomorrow, and that a work stop page of 76,000 hard coal minor would be called. The action was announced by Thomas Kennedy, UMW secretary-treasurer, at a news confer ence following the negotiating session within the two group. Kennedy added that mainte nance worker would be permit ted to remain on the job with the understanding that any wage increases agreed upon later would be applied to them on a retroactive basis. The operator agreed to this, Kennedy said. 1
