U.N. Offers New Plan For Truce By ROBERT B. TITKMAN MUN8AN. Korea W U.K. truce negotiators mov.'d to br;ak , the deadlock over selection of a; neutral truce supervisory commls-t slon Monday by offering to with draw their nomination of Nuiftuy If the Reds would give up Ru.ia. Under the Allied proposal behlnrl-the-llnes Inspections during an ar mistice would be made b-- repre sentatives of only two neutral na tions for each side rather than three. The U.N. would be represented i by Switzerland and Sweden: the Communists by Czechoslovakia and Poland. Allied staff officers asked the Reds to study the proposal ore fully and reply later. The only Immediate reaction came from Chinese Col. Pu Shan, who declared: "You have no Justi factlon to object to the nations , nominated by our side .which are In compliance with the dtrLiutioa of neutral nations. NO IIKADWAY . Staff officers working on prisoner exchange made no headway durii a 58-mlnute session. Cjl. Georfe W. Hickman called it a "complet ely fruitless" meeting. The Communists complained thnt four Allied aircraft, flew over the neutral Panmunjom conference site Sunday. The Reds demanded an Investigation. "It appears that your side Ims taken no action to restrict your aircraft." said Col. Tsat Cheng. Col. Andrew J. Kinney Uld Tsal "we note your statement. We will take It up later after we get Uie facts." In addition to proposing a com promise supervisory commialnn plan, Allied staff officers subnet, ted a re-phrased paragraph cover ing the iaspection of armament re placements during a truce. It provided that neutral teams would be pe I ted to check equip ment only enough "to properly in sure" that It was of the same type being replaced. LIMITATIONS The plan specifies that "this shall not be construed as authoriz ing Inspections or examinations of any secret designs or characteris tics of any combat aircraft, ar mored vehicles, weapons and am munition." The Reds, who advocated a more thorough Inspection, replied only: "We have lully exDrcssed our views on this matter." The staff officers made no prog ress toward agreeing on the num- ber. of ports of entry to oe cnecaea on each side. Both groups of staff officcis BRreed to meet again at 11 im.

Food Taken To Animals TULELAKE In spite of travel difficulties. 14 vehicles carrying six and one-half tons of concen trated high protein feed and salt got to feeding' grounds of deer along State Highway 138 between here and Perez Saturday. Earlier In the week 11 animals were found dead and two were down presumably from starvation. The animals, driven down from higher elevations by lack of feed found browse short on the lower levels. New grass started during a brief rise In temperature was covered by a new snowfall. All dead animals were on private land. Members of the Tulelake-Butte Valley Sportsman's Association and other volunteers took the feed out on donated trucks. A power wa?on furnished by Fish and Wildlife headquarters helped trucks through mud leading to the feeding grounds Some evidence of deer being killed by dogs was also found on the fringe of the new homestead arcn. The first pinching oft of a bit of sunlight was a signal to set all the cameras clicking and other sensi tive apparatus whirring. , The bright light continued until, about seven minutes before the ocllpse became total. During that brief period there was an unnatural dusk until the sun was completely covered. The moonlight darkness fell quickly. Then, after three minutes, the eastern edge of the sun formed a slender scimitar, lighting up the desert again. Within five minutes the light was normal. Then you couldn't see the eclipse unless you looked at the sun through dark glasses. It was all over nt 13:00 p.m. 3:30 a.m. (pst), Tax Holes Draw Fire By JACK RUTLEDGE WASHINGTON I Present tax , loopholes and a proposed peace time tax celling were under Con-1 gressional fire Monday for what some lawmakers viewed as a ten dency to sock the poor and help the rich. Sen. Humphrey (D.-Mlnn., said existing tax loopholes cost the gov ernment more than 4 '4 billion dol lars a year, and benefit almost en tirely those with incomes above (10,000 annually. Staffs of two Congressional com mittees said a proposed 25 per cent I peacetime federal Income tax cell ing, already endorsed by some ! states and under study by Cnn- gress, would "tend to shift the ir.di- j vldual tax burden from the rich to the poor." Humphrey's views were g'.veri In ! a study published by the Public I Affairs Institute, which describes! itself as a non-political organiza- j tion designed to air facts about public issues. Humphrey, who sought unsuc cessfully last fall to amend the 5 1. billion dollar tax Increase bill, said ! writing of tax laws these days has come to resemble ,the "log-rolling and pork barrel tactics of spc-1 clal interests. I He said "enormous handouts" go to "high Income recipients, ' and outlined what he said were the six principal loopholes and the amounts they cost the Treasur" In present tax laws. Two of the major loopholes" were Income splitting and percent age depletion allowances, he said. Income splitting was enacted in 1948 to benefit married couples, but Humphrey, said only 3 per, cent of Uie 'beneflK went to -.ouiJles with annual incomes below i6,u00. Cattle Imports from Canada are Stopped WASHINGTON W The Agri culture Department Monday or dered an Immediate halt to vir tually all Imports of livestock and meats from Canada because of an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease in Saskatchewan. Dr. B. T. Slmms, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, said Imports have been running to well over 100 million pounds of meat a year and about 360.000 head of cat tle, swine and sheep. Hoof-and-mouth disease Is easM; spread and is one of the most feared of all live stock ailments. In 1946. an outbreak occurred In Mexico and virtually all cattle and meat imports from that country have been shut off since then. The United States has been help ing Mexico combat the outbreak and has spent 122 million dollars in the fight. ' Dr. Simms said his bureau can not give Canada extensive scientif ic or other help without an act of Congress. But he said that on a moderate scale, and until Congress -'.ecidos whether such a law shall be en acted, this country will co-operate as much as possible. Inspectors all along the Canadi an U.S. border were ordered to stop shipments of cattle, sheep, goats, and hogs immediately as well as shipments of fresh and frozen products from such animals. Dr. Slmms said he thought all shipments would be stopped by Monday night. Asked when the embargo on Ca nadian Imports might end, he said there is no way of telling; Uiat it depends on how quickly the outbreak can be put under con trol. Other Department officials said that cutting off Canadian n-eat would not seriously affect supplies for U.S. consumers. While Imports from Canada are substantial, they pointed out that they amount to only about ono pound of meat year for each U.S. consumer. Giving background on the situa tion In Canada, Dr. "Mtnnw said suspected cases of hoof-and-mouth disease had been reported from 22 farms near the city of R;;;inn, Sas Weather FORECAST: Klamath Falls and vicinity Partly cloudy Monday and Monday night.

Proponents say 28 states already have asked Congress to call a Con-1 stitutional convention on the sub- Ject. Several of the states have re scinded their action, however, and officials say only 16 now actually have resolutions in force. Those favoring a peacetime tax ceiling contend federal taxes are getting out of hand, and that Ihe nation's economy can't stand many more increases. Staffs of the Benste-House Eco nomic Committee and the House Small Business Committee turned In the reports on the proposal dur ing the week-end and all conclu sions were adverse to it. The general tenor was that a ceiling would cut taxes now paid by the rich, and would torce me gov ernment to recover this loss by heavier taxes on low and moderate income groups, and possibly through a sales tax. For example, the report said. losses of personal and corporation, Income estate and gift tax rsve-1 "???"?Z??T?!2.-1? .?! uie lairesi .wurera ui icun ai u revenue" because they ar basd on ability to pay would run,ahout 16 billion- dollars a yar. katchewan. . Canadian officials stopped export of all live animals from Saskatche wan last Wednesday and asked that Dr. M. S. Shahan. in charpe of hoof-and-mouth research for the U.S. government, be sc.it to Can ada. Dr. Simms received a message from Dr. Shahan Monday saying the diagnosis had - been confirmed. The embargo on imports from Can ada was then issued. Dr. Simms said inspectors will attempt to track, down every live animals that has come into this country from Canada in the past few weeks. These now are spread widely through this country. It takes from 48 hours lo several days for symptoms of the disease to appear.

Douglas MacArthur will give him solid support for the Republican presidential nomination when the chips are down at the Chicago convention. Taft would not comment, but friends say he Isn't worried about reports MacArthur might be think ing of himself as a possible nom- ; inee if a deadlock develops be- tween Taft and Gen. Dwlght D. ! Elsenhower, I Evidence of Taft's confidence in ; MacArthur was seen 8unday when he said on a television program he favored the general addressing the convention. If he does t Taft added, he probably would be the keynote speaker. But he sidestepped a direct ans wer to whether he plans to name MacArthur head of the Joint chiefs of staff if elected. He said he hasn't been elected yet, and was not an nouncing any appointments. Taft's supporters regard as sig nificant that MacArthur did not deny News - Week magazine's article last week that he was a Taft backer. On the other hand. In comment ing on the same article, MacAr thur made it clear he is not sup porting Elsenhower. Newsweek said he might . support Harold E. Stassen or Elsenhower If either beat Taft.

Eisenhower has said he would accept the nomination, but will not campaign for it. Duff said he feels the general can override party regulars to win the nominaUon, and then go on to crack tne solid South" in Novem ber. . But the nation's new price boss, former Gov. Ellis Arnall of Geor gia, said in another radio Interview he didn't believe any republican not even Eisenhower could car ry a single Southern state in the election. BEAT OFF THREAT President Truman's friends were reported looking around for a way to beat off what some of them now regard as a threat of victory by Senator Kefauver of Tennessee in the March 11 New Hampshire primary. One close friend is reported to be "deeply concerned" over the outcome, and hopes something can be done to buck things up for Mr. Truman there. Senator Robert S. Kerr of Okla homa loomed larger as a Demo cratic candidate if Truman doesn't run. He has promise of powerful Midwestern and Southern support. More evidence of this came Sun day in a statement by Senator Ed win C. Johnson iD.-Colo.) that he would support Kerr If Truman doesn't run.

Sims' three com panions left the downed plane on foot early Saturday morning to trv and find aid. Sims wasn't feeling well enough to fight the five-foot snowdrifts on foot.

Pal lette, one of the three who made the long trek out of the mount ains, flew back In to direct the first rescue flight to Sims and the and the downed plane. It would have been dangerous for the light-powered rescue plane to try a takeoff carrying three men so Pallette stayed on the mountain and Joyner brought Sims out.

The plane was a Cessna-170, demonstrator with , no radio equipment. En route, the quartet stopped at Redmond, refueled and took off from there for Sacramento at 6:12 Friday morning.
