The senate group is working on military manpower legislation which has two main alms: 1. A draft of men In the 19-25 age group for regular service In tile armed forces. 2. Training of 181.000 18-year-olds as a reserve. This has been called a substitute for universal training. The decision to let the 18-year-olds volunteer for training re versed an earlier view that they must be taken by lot because they would avoid a longer two-year term Imposed on men 10 through 25 years by the stopgap draft. This change waa agreed upon as the senate committee awaited a final conference with Secretary of Defense Forrestal later today. They want to go over their bill with Forrcstnl before final action on It. Across the capHol, the house passed a compromise bill designed to build up a 70-group air force.

He called on the CIO's biggest union to give the public good "a top place In Its program" and de clared: "To assume that the only rights involved In an industrial dispute are those of capital and labor is a se rious mistake and as between labor and management that party, will gain most in the long run who shows the greatest regard for the rights of the community and for the interests of the people." The CIO's biggest union 920,000 members sent 3200 delegates here. They were greeted last night by an official report blasting the steel industry as the nation's "real bottle neck" and announcing a union "sec ond front" in politics.

WASHINGTON, May 11 (JFi President Truman said today that the American bid to Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov for "decent and reasonable relations" between the two countries "represented no new departure In American policy." Its purpose, Mr. Truman said in a formal statement, was to make it "unmistakably clear that the United States has no hostile or aggressive designs whatsoever with respect to the Soviet Union." Note Delivered The president's statement did not indicate whether the note of Am bassador Walter Bedell Smith to Molotov May 4 might be construed as an American proposal for discus sion and settlement of existing dif ferences between the two nations. The two main points of the state ment by Smith, Mr. Truman said, were these: 1. "The policies of the United States government in Interna tional questions have been made amply clear in recent months and weeks. They have the sup-' port of the overwhelming major ity of the American people. They will continue to be vigorously and firmly prosecuted." 2. "On the other hand this government wishes to make it unmistakably clear that the United States has no hostile or aggressive designs whatsoever with respect to the Soviet Union." Reds Ready In response Sunday to Smith's statement, Radio Moscow said the Soviet Union is ready to pursue a "policy of peace and cooperation with the United States." The Soviet further interpreted the Smith note as a bid lor "rlis cussidn and settlement" with Russia of differences which have split the postwar world. The Moscow broadcast said Molo tov had agreed to the proposal for talks ascribed to the United States, Handicap Suffering a speech defect, Davcy Hook, 7, stammers a goodbye to Zaneavllle, 0 as he flics to Wichi ta, Kas., for treatment by Institute of Logopedlcs, Trip was sponsored by Mayor William Watson and Zancsvllle Eagles lodge.

KUHS Wins High Praise After Survey Careful administration coupled with excellent facilities designed to provide youth with good educational opportunities was the report given Klamath Union high school by Car rol B. Howe, supervisor of secondary education in the office of the super intendent of public instruction, fol lowing a recent survey of the school. A full examination of the school plant, equipment, classroom Instruc tion and conference with the prin cipal and teachers was included in Howe's survey as read last night by Superintendent Arnold Gralapp to members of both school boards. "The high school at Klamath Falls is a splendid example of what can be accomplished by a commun ity and school administration who desire to provide their youth with good educational opportunities." Howe set forth in the report. He said in part: The program in studies is one of the most extensive in the state. Athletic facilities are as good or better than those found in many colleges. One of the major problems in the school is scheduling use o the audi ; torium to prevent conflicts of various activities. This is a common prob lem of larger schools and "we know of no solution other than construc tion of a separate facility." The girls' dressing room is a model of cleanliness and convenience. Quality of instruction and qual ifications of teachers both "seemed very good." In view of the fact an unusually small percentage of KUHS students are enrolled in world geography and world history, Howe suggested en couragement In these courses. . The language arts program was commended, as was the extensive art program. In closing, Howe commended the board and administration of KUHS for their work.

Sunday by Staff Pho tographer Paul Roques. "This Is one of the most spotted conditions In which the sun has ever been observed." Alter said. "The record was broken in March and April, 1947. I have no means of ac curate measurement handy, but this may again break the record." Old Law, But No Open Snooze PASADENA, Calif., May 11 (tf After much thumbing through the books, police came up with a 46-year-old ordinance today and ar rested Mrs. Mary Cardell Current for sleeping in her automobile on the public streets. The law, enacted in 1902, prohibits lying or sleeping in an alley, street, sidewalk or other public place. Mrs. Current, whose car is an ex pensive convertible, told police her Altadena home is rented, and she can't move back in until October. She has been living several months in the car, parked in a lot near the police station. Mrs. Current stays there "because I feel safer than elsewhere." She refused the offer of a free hotel room from the bureau of public as sistance "because it wasn't a high enough class hotel," police said. Pay Issue Still To : Be Settled WASHINGTON, May H (IP) The railroads ran a usual under government direction today and the army lifted the emergency embar go on shipment of perishable goods. The action restoring freight serv7 Ice to normal came after the gov ernment forced the engineers, fire men and switchmen to call off k trlke set for this morning, y Eighty-eight line had banned shipments of perishables during the week-end to prevent them from being stranded in event of a walk out. Many cancelled the embargoes last night, however, In advance of the army order. f Court Order The rail unions called off the threatened strike in compliance with a court order from Justice T." Alan Goldsborough the federal Judge who twice fined John LI Lewis for contempt of court 14 mine strikes. ' With the army in charge of rail operations, the White House with drew from direct attempt to get the unions and management to settle their wag-e dispute, '' Presidential Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said he assumed there would be further talk be tween the operators and brother hoods. But he said Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman will not start any new conferences. 4 Futile Meet Steelman met for hours with both sides in futile efforts to gee a settlement before President Tnw man seized the roads yesterday. ' Ross said Steelman "will be avails able if either side asks his assist ance." There appeared to be plenty ot stumbling blocks ahead. Goldsborough' "temporary re straining order' ( type of lnjunc tion) expire May 19, eight day from today. The judge set a heart ing for that date on the govern ment's request for a longer in junction. The three unions will have their chance then to fight back. There w;re other question marks, too. President Truman had to selz the railroads to ward off the strikei The army thus found itself In technical possession of the coun try's Immense network of railroads. How would it deal with the unions? a Deadlock Feared When could it turn the proper ties back to th9ir owners without,, risking- a new' "deadlock and an ac tual strike? The 11-month-old dispute ever wage and working rules is not set tled. Secretary of the Army Royall planned to confer again some time today with the heads ot the th, . unions: David B. Robertson of the Locomotive Firemen and Engine men; Alvanley Johnston of the Lo- . comotlve Engineers, and A. Jv Glover of the Switchmen's union... Last night, after facing reporters and cameramen at frequent inter vals all through a dramatic and swift-changing day, the three union chiefs cooped themselves up in their hotel rooms and let a young assistant, Eddie Gloss, make the announcement the country was waiting to hear. At 10:20 p. m. when Gloss step ped out of an elevator into the lobby of the sedate Hamilton hotel and said simply to the waiting newsmen: Comply With Order "The brotherhoods will comply with the court order. Steps to that effect are being taken immediate ly." The "steps" were telegrams the three union heads were rushing to their local, officers. The Goldsborough order said the threatened strike would deprive the country of essential transpor tation, hamper service, obstruct the malls, imperil the national health and safety, frustrate the power conferred on the government's ex ecutive branch by the constitution, and cause "irreparable injury" to the nation. The judge ordered the three unions to withdraw their strike notice "forthwith" and not permit or encourage a walkout. y'1 Klamaths Study Proposed New Constitution For Their Tribe ' A proposed constitution for the Klamath Indian tribe and agency has been drafted by Ernest L. Wil kinson, Washington, D. C, attorney for the Klamaths and has been dis tributed to members of the tribe for study. The constitution as drawn by Wilkinson Is not Intended to be a finished product but as a starting document which may be changed considerably when and if It is ever accepted by the tribal general coun ell. The attorney was assisted in drawing up the constitution by Boyd Jackson and Jesse Lee Kirk, official Washington delegates of the tribe. Re-Define Power Purpose of the proposed consti tution is to re-define governmental powers inherent In the tribe and to provide machinery to exercise the powers, the second article of the document states. Those Inherent powers would In clude: Right to regulate domestlo rela tions of member of the tribe. Right to govern the descent and distribution of Indian property, other than allotted lands. Right to tax all member of the tribe. Right to exclude, non-members of the tribe from the reservation. 1 Right to own and manage all tribal property. The Klamath tribe, under' the proposed constitution, would elect governor, secretary and treasurer and have a legislative branch con-, slsting of the general council, busi ness committee and enrollment committee. The Judicial branch would include three appointive Judges, who would hold court when necessary at Chiloquin, Beatty and Klamath Agency. The document goes on to make provisions for elections, council meetings, business meetings and other business of setting the elf government wheels In motion. The Indian bureau of the department of interior presumably would still maintain supervisory control ever the tribe. The constitution would become effective when ratified by signing by more than 80 per cent of the voters of the tribe, A
