(We're going to SPEND MORE this year, but we're also going to TAKE IN more.) President Truman any! that even if we do cut down the deficit, wo must not cut down taxes yet. He'a probably right. As long as we're on the deficit side, we'd better keep taxes high. Somehow or other, we've got to reduce our debt, Instead of in creasing it constantly. REPUBLICAN leaders are be ginning to promise that If Ihey win control of congress at the election this full they'll cut taxes by at least 20 per cent. To make Ihelr proposition reallv Interesting to Intelligent people, they should add: "We'll also CUT SPENDING by at least 30 per cent." That would make sense. 'TWERE Is only one thing to do If we are to reduce our na tional debt to the point of safely. That Is to elect lo office men who will CUT SPENDING AND START PAYING OFF.

The application, submitted by Minister of Foreign Affairs Dl rcck Jayanam, said "my gov ernment and my people arc ready and determined to ob serve and fulfill the obligations arising from the charter of the United Nations."

MEDFORD, Aug. 8 Maccinc Titus, public library employe, has a chicken that doesn't seem to know whether It's a rooster or a confused hen. It crows every morning with the roosters but lays an egg every afternoon. It seems lo know It's odd, too: it lives alone and il terrified by other chickens.

The laughter which greeted each new excuse for the lack of chin whiskers soon drew a crowd which watched the proceedings from the lawn. Adding to the spirit of the Centennial were a number of old fashioned dresses which had been donned by several of the women. ' Russians Balk On Vote Rules PARIS. Aug. 5 (A) Soviet Russia balked today at a British American proposal to com promise the peace conference dis pute over voting procedure. Foreign Minister V. M.

Small nations, paced by Australia, . sought simple majority rule. The British then proposed to let the conference speak for itself, with two-thirds votes to be regarded as "a firm recommendation" and simple majorities to carry less weight with the foreign ministers coun cil, which will have final veto power over peace conference actions. The United States, through Secretary of State Byrnes, joined China, Canada and Norway to day In supporting the British compromise. Molotov's rejection of the plan followed a similar stand by White Russia. Zoot-Suited Youths Beat Soldier M.P.

Aug. 5 .P) An lncendiarist who set 14 fires in the rugged forest land approxi mately six miles southwest .of Canyowvftl- esleroay- -escaped during the i night, Fred South wick, supervising warden of the Douglas Forest Protective as sociation said this morning. The search was aided by use of a state police bloodhound in "the area where the firebug was spotted by aerial observers as he lighted the last of the 14 fires in the mile-long string at the edge of an old burn on a shoulder of Silver butte. More than 50 men were rushed into the area to serve as fire fighters and guards and a day long search was conducted lor the culprit. Ine hound lost scent of the fugitive on dry ground. As the firebug had approxi mately five miles to travel from tnc scene of his crime, it was believed he was still within the area when guards arrived, but due to his apparent familiarity with the region, it is feared he may have escaped during the night. Search, however is still being maintained. Southwick reported that sev eral of the fires had burned to gether and covered an area roughly estimated at 160 acres. Others of the "sets" wer' held to small size. Marines Will Stay In China SHANGHAI.

Voye Dies Suddenly Arthur James Voye, 58, president of the Big Lake! Box com pany of Klamath Fall! and former president of the Western Pine associat'on, died at 3:30 a. m. Sunday. The widely known lumberman passed away at Hillside hospi tal, to which he had been removed after sudden development of an acute heart ailment.

West, established the Big Lakes Box company on the firm'! present site on Lake Ewauna. Headed Association Mr. Voye became president of the Western Pine association in 1943-44, and under his lead ership the organization made important advances. He took an active part in solution of lumber production problems in the war period, and received special commendation from the war production board lor mis effort. He made a number of trips to Washington in behalf of the industry and the produc tion effort. He was a past commander of the Klamath commandery of Knights Templar and a member j of the Shrine. He was a long-time member of the Klamath County cham ber of commerce, and served many years on lumber and in dustrial development commit tees of the chamber.

Senators Mull Action On May WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 () Chairman Mead (D-N.Y.) said today the senate war investi gating committee will decide Friday what further action it may take to bring Rep. Andrew J. May (D-K.Y.) before it for testimony in its war profits in quiry. Mead told a reporter that May's return to his home in Prestonsbure, Ky., does not change the committee's desire to hear from Warren Magee, May's attorney, on when he be lieves his client will be able to testify. In Prestonsbure. Dr. John Archer, May's physician, de scribed his patient as "in the worst ' physical condition in which I have ever seen him." Dr. Archer said May is suffer ing from "general collapse" which prevents any activity for at least two weeks." Mead delayed until tomorrow conferences with Attorney Gen. eral Clark and Internal Rev. enue Commissioner Joseph D. Dunan Jr.. about income tax records of the Garsson muni tions combine officials. Mead has indicated the com mittee wants to look at May's lncpme tax returns, since he was listed as Kentucky fiscal agent for the Cumberland Lum ber Co., a combine affiliate. Truman-Opposed Candidate Of Attention In Tomorrow s Balloting WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 LV Voters in six states mark pri mary election ballots tomorrow, but President Truman's if-he's-right-I'm-wrong tag on Rep. Roger C. Slaughter pinpointed national attention on Missouri's fifth district. Slaughter's renomination bid Is a democratic contest, but the republicans tossed in a barb when GOP national chairman. Carroll Recce said at Salt Lake City last week that "the PAC, the Pendergast machine and the president" have combined in a "purge" attempt. Mr. Truman announced his op position to Slaughter at a news conference here last month in which he cited the Missouri democrat's opposition to admin istration measures, adding that If Slaughter was right the presi dent was wrong. Slaughter took up the chal lenge, saying that so far as he is concerned the president made the fifth district race a "test Passes f- A. J. VOYE A. J.

Kennell-Ellis Weekend Fires Held In Check Four forest fires over the week-cfld kedt fighters busy as fire control stations worked hard to keep all blazes well in hand in the dry, dust covered Klam ath forests. One of the biggest blazes re. ported so far this year broke out on the Klamath Indian reserva tion shortly after noon Saturday. The flames were spotted seven miles southeast of Calimus butte and had charred 400 acres of second growth yellow pine before they were checked. Although the origin of the fire is not definitely known, illegal deer hunters are believed to be the cause. A small fire in the Yowkey tract just above Wood river springs was spotted bunday afternoon by the Modoc point lookout and the Klamath agency. The fire occurred in slashings. burning a little less than an acre. County fighters were called out Sunday to extinguish a small grass fire between the railroad and highway near Al goma. The fire was caused by sparks from a passing train A small grass fire also occurred near Keno and burned two and a half acres before it was stopped. New Zealand Official Backs Up On Truman WELLINGTON. New Zealand, Aug. 5 tP) Robert Semple, New Zealand works minister, today withdrew a statement he made at a public political meeting last night that President Truman was the "tool of money gangsters." He offered an apology "without any reservation whatsoever." Semple explained that he had assumed the president was re sponsible for lifting price con trols, but "subsequently learned that he had supported a policy in the best interests of the peo ple. case" on "the future course of the democratic party." At his nearby home in Inde pendence, Mr. Truman will vote tomorrow in the fourth district congressional race, where Rep. C. Jasper Bell (D.), is seeking renomination. But there is still little doubt that he will be much more interested in the contest where Slaughter is batting with Enos A. Axtcll, the president's friend and Jerome Walsh, for mer OPA lawyer. Walsh has the backing of most of the railroad brotherhoods. The president asked the Kansas City Pendergast organization to support Axtell. This race has overshadowed In national interest the bid of an other of Mr. Truman's friends, Senator Frank P. Briggs (D.), for renomination in a four-way con' test. James P. Kem of Kansas City, a college classmate of Sen ator Robert Taft (R.-Ohio), is seeking the republican sena torial nomination with party or ganization support. Row Breaks As Cripple Nears Port LONDON, Aug. 5 VP) Th derelict American freighter American Farmer limped to ward England today under her own power and in escort of a U. S. destroyer, with the British loudly claiming her as perhaps: a $4,500,000 salvage prize. A maritime legal battle waa shaping up in the din of British newspaper headlines which com plained American shops had , taken over the collision battered freighter after a midget British, vessel had her in tow. The 8358 ton American Farm er and the freighter William J. Riddle collided 700 miles west of Land'! End Wednesday. The American Farmer is operated by the United States Line. The William J. Riddle is operated by the Moore-McCormack Lines and belongs to war ihipping admin istration. Destroyer Arrive! A passing ship took off the crew of 50 and six passenger! and the british freighter Eliza bete of 22039 tons came along siae, attached tow lines and started puf fling and heaving away toward Wales. Soon afterwards the U. S. destroyer Perry, the U. S. Lines' -freighter American Ranger and a tug ar rived the Elizabete radioed its home officee: "A crew from the American Ranger boarded the derelict and ordered our crew to leave. ; hauled down our ensign and hoisted the American flag " The ! British admiralty said it thought ; the message referred to the Brit I ish meerchant marine flag and not the union jack. I The Hudson Steamship com' : pany, which operates the Eliza I bete for the British ministry of transport, asked the British gov ernment to intervene, claiming. ine tarrner as a prize. An ad miralty spokesman said he re ceived a report and E. J. K. Gold smith, director for Hudson, said he had conferred with treasury lawyers, adding: "Messages from the Elizabete suggested that the American Farmer might have been our prize. Lloyds have been in formed because of this appar ently unusual incident on board the American Farmer." The U. S. navy said its. onl? ; interest was irf getting the crippled ship to port. A spokes man said that for the pint sized Elizabete to tow the Farmer to port would have been "like an, ant towing a grasshopper." The Lizabete has a three-cylinder steam engine and was bound from Nova Scotia with a cargo of mine timber. Jewish Agency Rejects Split LONDON. Aug. 5 (IP) -The Jewish agency executive rejected today uie tiritish-American cab inet committee's proposal to di vide Palestine into a federal state. British government sources said Prime Minister Attlee would ask his ministers to submit the Palestine problem to the United Nations if President Truman also rejects the semi-partition plan. A Jewish agency executive communique issued in Paris said the group "regards the British proposals, based on the report oi the committee of six and as an nounced by Mr. Morrison in the house of commons, as unaccept able as a basis for discussion. Herbert Morrison, lord presi dent of the council, announced last week that the British gov ernment had accepted as a basis for negotiations the cabinet com mittee proposals to divide Pales tine into four provinces one Arab, one Jewish and two cen tral government zones as a basis for negotiation. Morrison added, however, that the plan depended upon United States support which has not yet been forthcoming. President Truman has summoned his cab inet delegates home for more de tailed discussion of the plan, re--ports from Washington have said the plan was not well re ceived there. Focus In another of tomorrow's pri maries, labor takes a front seat in Virginia, where Senator Harry Byrd is seeking renomina tion for his third full term Byrd has challenged Martin A. Hutchinson, his opponent, to say whether he is for or against the CIO-PAU and to outline the sort of labor legislation he would like to see congress pass.' Hutchinson has said he did not ask CIO-PAC support, but Byrd contended the labor organization had given orders to its member! "saying that you should be sup ported and I be defeated." In Kansas prohibition hai come back as an issue, propelled by efforts of former Gov. Harry H. Woodring to win the demo cratic governship nomination on a state store liquor sale plat form. Fred Hinkle of Wichita, staunch dry; Ewell Stewart oi Topeka, another prohibi'ionist and Worden R. Howat, a formef county clerk, are Woodring'i opponents.
