KLAMATH FALLff, OHf.fiON, TlllfUtUAY, Move Seen Victory For Injunction WAHHINGTON, June It ! The senate today rejerted 71 to the plan of rlrnalor Morse IR-Ore.l to have congress deal wltb national emergency strikes en a caae-by-eaae The action amounted to another tactical victory for the supporters of the Taft-Hartley law provision which leu the government get In junctions against critical etrtkes though not all who voted against the Morse plan favor Injunctions. Both tides are predicting that the atlll-to-rame vote en the Injunction bane Itself will be veer rloee. Backers of the InJuncUon won a pair of preliminary victories late testerday when the senate soundly defeated two other plans for dealing with strikes which threaten the na tional welfare. But Uie senators In that pro-ln-Juwtlon group aald they are keep ing their flnxera crossed. And those opposed to the Injunction method declared they still are In the run ning. Henate Democratic Leader Leeaa lll.l. one ef thoae against the Taft Hartley provision, pat It thla way: "The vote le going to be very close, and I think we have a chance to beat tha injunction.' On the other side. Senator George ID-Oa aald' "I think those of us who want to retam the Inlunctlon have a alurhl e.".. but th. vote la soma in be ! .1 ..

Because ef peculiar parliamen tary situation, that plan waa due ; far a eeruad vole, perhaps today. ! Ita barken expected It to pick up I quite a few rotes en the second I round, with the Issue narrowed ; rnolre between ertxure and the Junction. After batting down the firs'. i round amendment offered by Sena tors Douglas iD-111 1 and Aiken (R VI 1. the senate next awamped a national emergency plan sponsored by Senator Ives (R-N. Y.) The vote was 67 to 13. Under the Ives amendment, con tress would have been required to deal separately with each critical strike. Rejection et the two amendmenU waa not an undiluted triumph for those who favor the Taft-Hartley injunction. In both cases thoae In that camp u.ustered the most voting strength. Ilut they were Joined by senators who are against any change In the administration blH to repeal the Taft-Hartley act and replace It wltb a modified version of the old Wag ner act. Packing Plant Still Too Hot MED FORD, June JS " After a night flare-up, ruins of the Pin nacle Packing company's plant No. 4 still smoldered today and Insur ance Inspectors could not get Inside for a damage estimate.

The house GOF policy committee haa come eut aolldly againat the bousing bill, and many republicans are attacking it aa "social tun" and aa threat to federal financial aolvency. But JavlU supported the admin istration measure, saying "private enterprise la not doing the Job" that needs to be done In bousing. House leaden claimed a martin ef 3 votes for President Truman's beUy contested housing Mil, one ef the major domestic points of hla "fan- deal" legislative program. Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex.) told reporters the administration is sure to win. However, lawmakers spearheading an opposition team of republlcana and southern democrats Insisted Uie issue Is still in doubt. Rep.

June 23 MV- The Brit- jish military government ordered ! German police In its sector to pre vent non-communist railway strikers from operating an "emergency" service without permission of Uie Russian-controlled management. This was only one of a series nf i snags struck by the offer of leaders iof Uie 14.000 strikers to restore freight service between Berlin and Western Germany without calling off their strike. The non-communist union, the 1UGO. announced yesterday it was i willing to handle freight for West Berlin but would continue Uie five I weelts old strike on Uie elevated ; railway system, which normally car ries 1.000,000 passengers a day. British officials promptly de nounced the plan aa "totally im practicable." since it proposed to continue blocking Soviet sone freight trains. The British attitude reflected an American official view Uiat Uie UGO could not hope to operate a por tion of Uie railroad unless Uie Reichsbahn (Uie railway manage- jmenti agreed. UGO leaders, who j had planned to go ahead today with repairs necessary for resuming service, said they -had not decided what their next move would be.

Prize Palomino Outstanding In That He's Only Horse To Be Fitted With Glass Eye Challenger, a prize Palomino, owned by Keith Moon, head of the Klamath flodeo association, recently was fitted for a glass eye the first time that such an operation haa been performed on a member of the equine family. The golden horse lost his right eye last January on a corral fence and since then Uie steed's worth aa an exhibition horse hn devaluated. Moon tried unsuccessfully to locate a false blinker for the Palomino from various veterinarian organizations. The Dans company of San Francisco, plastic technicians for artificial human eyes, agreed to fit one to Challenger. Last week the orb was flown to Klamath Falls by Karl Rohrer, technician for the company, and fitted to the horse. The 4-year-old steed wasn't a good patient. He spent moat of Uie time up on his hind feet, but he seems satisfied with his new eye now, which duplicates exactly the original one even to Uie bloodshot lines which ordinarily appear In a horse's eye. Challenger will appear In the Fourth of July parade. He tossed hla mane at the queen' try-outs last Sunday, little bothered by the plastlo aid.

The secretary spent more than two hours with the house foreign affairs committee and issued a brief statement afterward. He under scored, what he had told Uie senate Icreigii relatiuroi committee yester daythat action on Uie treaty and arms program are needed to Dac up ATirita's policy in Europe. The house haa nothing to do with ratilicatlon of the North Atlantic defense alliance. But It will have tn approve Uie arms program. At the moment, the foreitn af faire earn mlttee la eonaidertng the Korean MIL Without help. Acheson aald. the South Koreaa government "will have aa almost Insuperable task la maintaining freedom and Independence." WASHINGTON, June S3 Wi Secretary ef State Acheson said today Russia haa been definitely put an the defensive In the strug gle for Europe. He told a news conference that the ceaults ef the Big Four foreign BiiniMcre meeting ai rang snow that Acheson aald the Soviet Vnlon waa afraid to relax Ita' Iran grip oa E altera Germany because the Russian leaders know they would aot long be able te control the German people If they did so. The real significance of the Big Foot session at Parts, Achesaa said, la that It demonstrated the greatly etrengthened position uf the western powers In what he called the atruggle for the soul of Europe and the fact the position of Russia haa been switched from aa offensive to a defensive ene. He told the senators that Uie In ability of the western delegates at the conference to come to any real agreement with Russia emphasizes the need for both the North At lantic pact and the related anna program. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, a republican leader In foreign af fairs, aald afterward that "congresa can't adjourn without acting en both," Democratic Leader Lucas sf Illinois expressed much the earns opinion. So did Senator Connelly iD-Texas). chairman ef the foreign relatione committee. Acheson's plea also got backing from Uie nation's state governors, meeting at Colorado Springs, Colo. They passed a unanimous resolution urging swift pact approval, followed by any action needed to give the treaty "full force and effect." Only the senate need approve the AUantic treaty. Both bouse and senate would have to okay the plan to re-arm thia country's western European friends.
