Irun I The United Stutes nnd Britain made a joint proposal to solve the AnKlo-Irun-lan oil dispute Saturday but there were Immediate hints that Prime Minister Mossadcith would turn it down cold. There were unconfirmed reports a special communique from Uie Prime Minister would be read over the radio Saturday nlxht telling Ihe nation he could not accept the prooosal. in brief, 'he u. a. -Britain ap proach was this 1. A U.S. srant of 10 million dollars to tide over Iran's nearly bankrupt trensurv: 2. A British proposal to relax the blockade and sanctions and he In Iran sell oil on the world market. - 3. An Iranian airreement. In re turn, to submit to the World Court at the HnKue the question of naV' ment for the British-owned oil In dustry, now nationalized. PESSIMISM The 1 e e 1 1 n g of pessimism stemmed from the 3'i - hour meet ing; between American Ambassa dor Loy W. Henderson and the chief British diplomat in Tehran, Georire Mirtdlcton, with Mossadegh weanesaay. They appeared Slum as they rmercea irom tne conference. which was to explore various ap proaches to the Ando-Iranlan set tlement, and to test the Pre mier's reaction to the proposals wmcn wasnington ana London ex pect to make. With oil revenues cut off for more than a year the Iranian gov ernment has lound itself hard. pressed to meet basic expenses like government, army and police salaries. The key point of the negotiations Is what compensation Mossadegh would ue willing to oiler uie Anclo- Imntnn Oil Company for the pro perties nationalized a year and a half ago. LONDON NOTE In a note to London two weeks ago the Iranian leader inude what American ol f 1 c 1 a 1 s considered "preposterous" claims for compen sation. The apparent purpose was to ousel British demands lor pay ment for nationalized properties. But Indications are there would be no concession on the point of rea sonable compensation lor these claims. The United States and British governments were reported In gen eral agreement mai because oi the threat of communism in Iran, Mossadegh should have Western support even though Western dip lomats and officials have found him often difficult to work with. Union Man Likes Ike SEATTLE l.fl A railroad lnbor union official told his union Friday that he was impressed with Gen. Dwlght D. Elsenhower's forthrlght ncss, but added: "Frankly. I don't think the gen eral is as thoroughly familiar with labor problems as he might be ex pected to be later on In the cam paign." The statement was made at the International Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers' western group convention by James P. Shields, Clovelnnd, gland chief engineer. Shields repot ted on an interview he had with the Republican Presi dential nominee at which Shields snld he wanted to find out how El senhower stands on compulsory ar bitration of labor disputes and gov ernment seizures of Industry. He said he was pleased to hear Eisenhower say he was definitely opposed to compulsory arbitration "in view of the trouble we have had during the past 18 months with government control ot the railroads." Shields emphasized that he Is advocating neither Eisenhower nor Ihe Democratic nominee, Gov. Adlal Stevenson, with whom he expects to have a similar confer ence next week.

Meanwhile a solid S4 tier hun- areaweight was being offered on the barlev market for No. 1 stuff, but there were several offers for more thon that in some corners. One report of offers of 14.25 Der hundredweight came from usually reliable sources, with strong ru mors ot 54.10 in the offing. How ever, there were no offers of such Prices for publication.

Southern Pacific Railway president, sees a bright future for the Klamath Country as he points out that the S.P. long ago decided to recognize its Klam ath route as the main line rather than the Rogue River Valley route. Rursell headed a party of high S.P. officials here last night on an inspection trip. Besides Russell the party included: Director Kenneth L. Issacs, Vice Pres. J. W. Cor bett. Chief Engineer E. E. Mayo and Supt. L. p. Hopkins. In a brief chat on his private car parked on a spur at the rail way station here. Russell was in formed of the Klamath Chamber of Commerce drive to draw new in dustry here. He agreed whole heartedly with the chamber's stand thnt the Klamath Country holds icreat promise for Industry because 'of Its centralized location. Russell said his party made the Klamath stopover to inspect the S.P's. "increasingly Important facilities here." Work is to begin immediately on installation of approximately S2,- 300.000 worth of centralized traffic control, a form of electronic train dispatching, between Klamath Falls and Crescent Lake. Russell said the protect should require about six months to complete. He estimated it would increase the capacity of the line by SO per cent or more. The protect of installing radio equipment on all diesel locomotives and cabooses operating between UN Casualties Show Increase UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (.) Casually figures for United Na tions forces in Korea are climbing steadily, reflecting bitter fighting truce talks, an Associated Press survey showed today. Dead and wounded for the 17- nation force fighting under the U. N. flag now total 262,421, an increase of 29.288 since an AP sur vey in April. Overall casualty fig ures, including oeaa, wounaea and missing, total 384,609. The April survey based on figures supplied by delegates of countries fighting in Korea gave total casualties as 4ia.lot. soum Korean officials since have revised their list of missing, however. dropping 63.000 frorrt the April roll. The soutn Korean ngures no not include the hundreds of thousands of civilians who have fallen vic tim to the tide of war. In comparison to the U. N. to tals, thn last U. S. Army estimate of Communist Chinese and NorthJ Korea military casualties Issued In June gave an overall ngurc of 1.623,404. There was no attempt to break this down into dead, wounded and missing, however. The Republic of Korea has had the most dead and wounded of any of the nations ranged under the U, N. flag 37,167 dead, 112,427 wounded. The United States is next wnn 18.301 dead nnd 85.298 wounded, based on this week's pentagon re port. The U. S. also lists 1.611 known prisoners and 11,043 miss ing, bringing its current casualty total to 116,253. This Is nn increase of 1.403 u. h. killed and 7,062 wounded since the April tabulation. Ii! til here and Dunsmuir is progressing and should be completed by winter, ttusseu sam. Of the car supply situation, the railway president said the S. P. had lust authorized purchase of another 2.000 freight cars to In crease the line's already large car ownership of about 70.000. About 4,000 other new cars ordered pre viously are still to be delivered. Since V-J Day. Russell, said, the S.P. has placed in service a total of 30.886 new freight cars. The line's Investment program In new locomotives and other rolling stock since the war has reached a total of $388,000,000. Oregon's railroad car problem is unusual, Russell said, in that the volume of outbound loads is far greater than the volume of inbound shipments. This means the road must deadhead empty cars back into Oregon for reloading. A recent count showed the S.P. was employing 5.330 men and wom en in Oregon with an annual pay roll of more than $25 million. The company operates over 1,800 miles of track in the state, including about 600 miles of main line. The rail service is supplemented by trucks operating over 1.441 miles of highway. The Southern Pacific is one of Oregon's largest taxpayers, pour ing approximately $2,500,000 Into public treasuries this past year. fy ' t JOY yV''1'1'' J GEORGIA DYHRBERG and Wendy Mansfield (I to r), pretty visitors from Eureka, Calif., for the three-day Herald and iNews-TMW invitational tennis tournament, get top seeding in the picture department.

Allied Air Losses Said Very Light By MILO FARNETI SEOUL, Korea U. N. Sabre - let pilots Saturday shot down five Communist - built Jets, probably destroyed a sixth and crippled 11 of a force of 100 In furious air battles near Suiho Dam and Slnul- ju in extreme Northwest Korea, tne u. s.

Clifford Jolly of Salt Lake City, one of two remaining U. 8. jet aces in Korea, damaged on MIO. the Air Force said, and a Briton and a Canadian each dam aged two of the swept-back wing Red fighters. The blazing dogfights upped the U. N. toll for August to a record of 32 MIO's destroyed, three pro bably shot down and 43 damaged probably the best monthly total of the war. The Navy said none of Its car rier - based fighter - bombers which flew 250 of the record 1,443 individual flights over Pyongyang was shot down. In its summary for the week ended Friday, the Air Force said three U. W. planes were lost to ground fire and one to un explained causes the past seven days. Whether they were on the Pyongyang raid was not disclosed. SEVENTEEN B 29's Seventeen Japan-based B29 Su perforts last night followed up the three-wave Pyongyang assault with a raid on newly repaired Red power installations at the Chnngjin Reservoir in Northeast Korea. .

N. planes bombed and strafed Pyongyang Friday to boost the day's total of flights to a record 1,775. U. S. Air Force, Marine and Navy carrier planes converged over Pyongyang after civilians had been warned by radio and leaflet to flee. Australian, South African and South Korean planes joined in the assault. JET PILOTS ' U. S. Sabre jet pilots shot down one Russian-built MIG Friday and damaged two other Red Jets, the Air Force reported. No Red fight ers reached Pyongyang. Pilots reported they flew through heavy anti-aircraft fire, black with smoke and rocking with explosions. Korean-based planes dropped 618 tons of bombs and 4,000 gallons of fiery gasoline and fired 52.000 rounds on 40 targets in the ruined city. The U. S. Fifth Air Force said they knocked out 24 gun positions, 125 military, troop and supply buildings, one warehouse and two factories and got 55 hits on airfield runways. women's singles crown.
