to California sportswear.
She was Introduced by Mrs, Olive

Ike Eisenhower in his bath
robe and Mamie in her house
coat charmed a surprisingly
large crowd of Klamath Falls
people at the Southern Pa
cific depot last midnight as
their special train paused
here for servicing before
plunging into California.
The 18- car Eisenhower
Special pulled into the depot
at 11:50 p.m., and stayed for
aooui nau an nour.', -"-'A
few moments after the"
train stopped, the crowd
was tanned 20 and 30 deep around
the rear car, calling for Gen.
Eisenhower to come out on Uie
platform. Mrs. Olive Comett of
Klamath Falls, Republican national
commlUeeloman, came out first,
xplatned that the Republican
presidential nominee bad been
asleep, and asked If it would be
all r-ht for him to come out In
his bathrobe.
It was all right with the crowd,
and the general came out grinning.
Rubbing the sleep from his eyes
and peering around at Uie crowd,
the general jokingly demanded:
"What are you people doing out
here this lime of night?"
Elsenhower made no formal
speech here, but bandied wise
cracks with the crowd, shook hands
with those close enough lo reach,
pose for pictures and signed auto
graphs. GOOD BYE
"I thought we said goodbye to
Oregon back there in Eugene." he
declared, obviously taken aback by
the size of the enthusiastic crowd
that waited up untU midnight to
see him.
4 "You know, one of Uie first ax
ioms lor a military leaner, uc
said, "Is never to be surprised.
But you surprised me."
"They caught you napping, you
mean," rejoined Mrs. Eisenhower.
The crowd kept pressing bim for
a short talk, and finally Uie general
said:
"This is the part ot the cam
paign that's fun, having so many
people come out Just to be lrieno
ly. The rest of It's lot of work.
You know, au we re trying lo ao
is substitute clean, decent govern
ment for bad government."
The vivacious Mrs. Eisenhower
likewise had only a few formal
words to say. but she and the gen
eral scribbled their autographs on
dozens of pieces of paper handed
up to them, keeping up their end
of Joking with the crowd.
After about 15 minutes Mrs. Cor
nctt stepped up to a public ad
dress microphone to say that Ike
had been campaigning since
o'clock In the morning and that he
needed to get back to bed.
Eisenhower looked up from his
autograpn signing to remark:

today indefinitely postponed Ko
rean armistice negotiations arid
bluntly told the Reds the next
move waa up to them.
The dramatic acUon was taken
l "higher authority." Gen. Mark
Clark's headquarters said without'
elaboration.
In Washington, officials aald the
"higher authority" was the United
States government, which exercis
es the United Nations Command
in Korea.
That would mean In Dractlcat ef
fect that Uie decision was worked
out by the State and Defense De
partments in conjunction with tha
White House, It was said, and that
other Allied governments with
troops in Korea were consulted on
it.
ALLIES
Ambassadors of the Allied na
tions held one of their regular
meetings at the State Department
Tuesday and there was reason to
believe that Uie postponement
maneuver waa discussed with
them. .
Officials said the positive pur
pose of the move was to out nrn. -
sure on the Communists to come)
up with some constructive propo
sals for solving the prisoner of war
repatriation issue which baa dead
locked the truce talks for months.
The postponement was taken
until the Communists either accent
an Allied proposal for settling ther
stalemate over prisoner of war ex
change or make "a constructive
proposal of their own."
FINAL BREAK
What may prove to be the final
break in the talks, started 15
months ago. resulted from a dead
lock In the knotty problem of pris
oner of war exchange, last un
solved item on the agenda.
1.1. Gen. William K. Harrison
senior Allied negotiator, said the
Allied team would return to th
truce site any time the Reds wera
ready to accept one ol three alter
nate Allied plans for settling the
POW question or were willing to
make "a constructive proposal" in
writing.
ims unprecedented stand meana
the U. N. negotiators will not re
turn to Panmuntom just to bo
harangued and harassed by bitter

In Tokyo, Clark said, "we con
tinue to conclude an armistice ac
ceptable to the conscience of tha
free peoples. It Is up to uie Com
munists to show whether they too.
want such an armistice."
Officers at Clark's headquarters
made no effort to mask the serb.
ousness of the situation.
But they refused comment en
whether the Indefinite recess
might actually result In a final
breakdown of the peace talks that
started July 10. 1961.

WASHINGTON W1 Assistant
Atty. Gen. James M. Mclnerney

explain how a case involving al

was handled last year.
Officials of the subcommittee,
which is probing the Justice De

olllcially beforehand what the caaa
involved or who was Implicated.
They said Uie matter probably
would be covered fully In today's
opening hearing and the commit-'
lee would swing to other phases
of Its investigation tomorrow.
At that time it was possible tha
group would explore the activities
of some unspecified U. Si attor
