bIuiU's headquarter ald It had
lulled to halt negotiations for a
permanent settlement of China's
civil war.
A spokesman at the capital
said that General Marshall was
"continuing with regular af
fairs" although no attempt was
mode to hide concern over re
ported heavy fighting within
scope of American marine garri
son.
A the new crisis In North
China seemingly developed new
strains on old Issues, Commun
ist Spokesman Wang Ping Nan
announced an order halting the
a'tack on Tsingtuo by commu
nist forces had been dispatched
to Shantung province by a com
munal representative who wa
accompanied on his peace mis
sion by an American officer.
It appeared that the U. S. of
ficer was dispatched with the
communist representative to
avoid an International conflict
involving U. S. marines based
at Tsingtuo.
The communist spokesman
described communist activities
in Shantung as "self defense"
after warning nationalists who
were said to "be advancing
against communist-held Kingsu
cities in six columns. Attacks
by nationalist on the commu
nist new fourth army were de
clared to be under way around

eminent, or someono in contact
with Randolph Churchill, who
had commented on the case with
out having any knowledge of
the true facts, might be such a
witness."
E. B. Colton, Todd Pacific
chief engineer, told interviewers
that when Kennedy learned from
the FBI that today's indictment
would disclose his name as the
government witness against Red
in, he became so upset he ob
tained a leave to go to Canada
with his family.
Colton termed Kennedy an ex
cellent and trustworthy worker,
and snid that after Redin's origi
nal arrest, FBI agents advised
Colton they wanted Kennedy
protected.
The new Indictment covers
and corrects the fourth count
of the original indictment, dis
missed last month by District
Judge Lloyd L. Black, because
it failed to name any person,
and failed to state the name of
tlie person, whom Rcdin was
alleged to have "Induced."
Rcdin was originally arrested
nt Portlnnd, Ore., last March and
later charged in a five-count in
dictment. He posted $10,000 bail
then, and was released on an
additional $5000 personal recog
nizance bond following today's
new action.
Pomcroy asked the U. S. court
today to consolidate the two in
dictments for tlie trial June 25.
The federnl bureau of inves
tigation office here and Pomeroy
declined to comment on the part
Kennedy played in the case
against Rcdin.
Friends described Kennedy as
a resident of the university dis
trict here, about 53 years old,
with a wife and four young chil
dren. They said he was Scottish
born but hnd spent most of his
adult life In America and came
here about four years ago.
He was , described as a chief
engineer on ships evacuating
British and American civilians
from France when the Germans
overran that country and to
have gone to work in a Bath,

partmcnt who had originally pe

one veteran patrolman has re
signed to go into more profit
able work.
Sid Herbert, one of the most
experienced men on the force,
has resigned, and Frank Black-
mer, president of the Ponce
Beneficiary association, said
that Herbert's reason for quit
ting was that his salary was
not sufficient for the needs of
hi family.
The base pay for police now
is $195 a month, and the $10
boost which is to go into effect
July U will make it $205.
i In ..meetings of the' assocl-
ation where the pay raise was
discussed ' Blackmer said that
other Datrolmen had talked of
resigning unless they are paid
more.
The patrolmen petitioned the
city council 10 days ago for a
$30 a month pay hike and the
matter was referred to the bud
get committee. That committee,
in its budget estimate for the
next fiscal year, set up a $10
raise.
The budget committee, in
granting this raise and other
expanded items, is staying with
in the six per cent limitation
set by state law. That law pro
vides that not more than six
per cent more money can be
budgeted than was budgeted in
the highest of the three years
immediately preceding.
The budget estimate will be
published and at that time a
date will be set for a public
hearing before the council. At
this hearing anyone with a pro
test over any part of the city
budget will be' given a chance
to make the protest, and the
budget estimate can be changed.

Byrnes Leaves
For Shpwdown
WASHINGTON, June 13 IIP)
Vlth a good-bye, good luck'
from President Truman, Secre
tary of State Byrnes left today
for Paris and a showdown with
Russia on European peace settle
ments.
Byrnes' plane left at 12:26
p. m. (EST), a few minutes after
President Truman had waved
him and Senators Connally (D
Tex.) and Vandenberg (R-Mich.)
aboard with a sweeping stroke
of his wife's summer hat.
Byrnes himself said earlier
that the Paris session is a criti
cal one in which failure would
be a disaster for mankind. He
had asked for prayers to sup
port his efforts- in dealing with
Molotov and Foreign Minister
Bevin of Britain and Bidault of
France.
Connally who, along with
Vandenberg, is an adviser to
Byrnes, issued an appeal for
passage of the draft extension
act as he stepped aboard the
plane.
It is needed, he said, "in
view of our foreign commit
ments and our far-flung posses
sions." There was a brief laughing
exchange between Bvrnes nnrt
the president, as they posed for
photographers beside the plane
which is the president's own,
ine oacrea tow.
Bvrnes said to the nresirtent
"Why don't you come and visit
us in Paris? "
"Well," Mr. Truman replied,
migni uo tnat.'. He was
laughing and gesturing as they
talked. A little later as Byrnes
turned to go up the steps into
the plane he told the president
with a grin, "Get a special plane
ana come on over.
Again Mr. Truman jestingly
repiieo inai ne mignt do that.

Told Nazis To Turn Over Arms To Him
BELGRADE, June 13 (")
Gen. Draja Mihailovic told the
Yugoslav military court today
that he and Col. Robert H. Mc
Dowell, chief of a U.. S. mission
to Chetnik headquarters in
1944, in a conference with Ger
mans that year proposed that
they turn over their arms to the
Chetnik chieftain "in . view of
their coming defeat."
Marshall Tito's government in
its indictment of Mihailovic
charged that the Chetnik leader
and McDowell held parleys
with the Germans in 1944.
Mihailovic, testifying with ap
parent reluctance today, said
he and McDowell refused to dis
cuss tlie "danger of commu
nism" with a German officer
named Sterker, a deputy of the
chief of the administrative staff
of - the German command in
Yugoslavia in September, 1944.
"You need not worry about
it," - Mihailovic quoted Mc
Dowell as saying when Sterker

Liquor Store
Burglarized
FORT KLAMATH, June 13:
Daylight robbers, who may have

Entry was made through the
Bricco locker room which ad

door was forced. 1
The robbers failed to take any
more than a bottle or two of li

believed they intended to re
