VA Reverses Klamath Plan The Klamath Veterans hospital, which exists only on paper but haa been in the news periodically since 1948, was the subject of another an nouncement by the. Veterans Ad' ministration In Washington. D.O. shortly after World War II the federal government obtained a site here, In Hillside Addition, and pro ' posed to build a 200-brd 13,000,000 veterans hospital. Although some prellmlnsry work wss done at the site, and Klsmath County built a rosd up to It, construction was never sisrted. Recently VA announced It would turn the Klamath Falls property, along with proposed hospital sites In other cities, over to another agency to b diseased of. However, tc lay's announcement - from Washington Indicated VA has reversed Itself and decided to hold on to the property for a while ' ' longer, to let the Incoming Repub lican administration review the veterans' medical program. Congress had authorised the con struction, but President Truman seversl times took Klsmath Falls off the list of localities for vet ersns hospital construction. The congressional authorization expired last June DO. A. W.

The district attorney In milking the test argued that there was neither Icglnliitivo es embly nor senate president from Uie time of the election until the new Legislature convened. If the office of the president of the Senate was vacant after elec tion day, as some believed, then under the state Constitution the secretsry of slate would be In line lor Uie governorship.

Hunt (D-Wyoi proposed today an im mediate extraordinary session of the Senate Armed Services Com mittee to look Into Gen. Douglas MacArthur's views on ending Uie Korean War. President Truman, with some barbed remarks about both Mac Arthur and President-elect Elsen hower, rejected yesterday a sena tor's suggestion that he call the two men to the While House to discuss Korea. Truman said, among other things, he doubts MacArthur has nit upon any new way to peace, and thst he still thinks Eisen hower's campaign announcement that he would go to the Korean War zone was demagog uery. Truman's words drew some OOP cries of "arrogant" and "slander ous" on Capitol Hill. Hunt, taking no part in that row, told a re porter: "I would like to see Sen. Rus sell tD-Ca) csll either or both generals to Capitol Hill to brief Uie Armed Services Committee." In Atlanta, however, Russell ex pressed doubt that "any useful purpose" would be served by a meeting of the committee. The committee chairman who presided over the 1951 Senate In vestigation of the President's re moval of MacArthur aa Korean commander, said Uie- committee can only recommend to Congress snd has "no power to compel ac tion In the field of foreign rela Uons." "The President of the United States, aa commander In chief of Uie Army and Navy can order Leases Face Time Element By WALLACE MYERS Time la becoming an Increasing. ly Important factor In Uie battle over Uie future use of valuable unhomesteaded crop land in Uie Bureau of ReclamaUon'a Klamath Project. .. The lend, farmed under one-year leases lor the past several year, totals more than 23,000 acre of unusually rich soil. A directive re ceived here Nov. 28 said Reclama tion Bureau Commissioner Michael Straus had ordered that the leases not be renewed for next year. The following day. communi que from Washington said three thing were being considered for the land; re-lease It, homestead about 16.000 acres of It Immed iately or turn "all or part" of It over to Uie Fish and Wildlife Serv ice. The communique added that "no decision will be made prior to Nov. 30." At press time today, Washington headquarters of Uie Reclamation Bureau and It parent agency, the Interior Department, bad made no further announcement as to dis posal of Uie land. If the decision should be to lease the land again In small farm plots, it would probably require at least a month's work to process Uie leases. NoUces must be sent and bids and applicant screened. If the decision Is to homestead a good part of the land, that pro cess will require even louder. From an agriculture stand point. farmers would not be hurt tf they had their leases in hand by Feb. 1; that would give uiem ample time to get to work on the land by March 1. But It could be that the present Reclamation and Interior chiefa In Washington plan to keep th hot potato pigeon-holed and toss It In Douglas McKay's lap when he be comes Interior secretary on Jan. 30. If that Is done, no matter how quickly McKay acts. It would al most certainly mean farmers would be two or three weeks late getting to work on the land. Supports Stay Says Benson NEW YORK W Esra Taft Ben son. President-elect Elsenhower's choice for secretary of agriculture, says he supposes some farm price support will be necessary when Uie present law providing for 90 per cent of parity expires two years henre Asked at Elsenhower's headquar ters here Thursday wnemer nt favors the present price support, Benson said; "Well, it's on the statute book rA -nnth- two vears." Benson, a Salt Lake City resi dent, said he hope the Eisennower administration can improve on the nrnt nroaram. and added: 'I suppose we need some ur port, but at what level I'm not pre pared w say, wueuicr - mv f. cent or 75 per cent." Parity Is Uie price that farm pro duce should command to give the farmer a fair erice for what he sells in relation to prices he must psy for the things ne buys. Elsenhower has said he favors trnnt iftwi that fiuarantee price supports for basic crops, through 1954, at 90 per cent of parity. Benson said he agreed! with the me.uase from Eisenhower read Tuesday at the convention of the American Farm Bureau Federa tion at Seattle, In the message the President-elect urged farmers to analyse their problems so as to be nreDared to offer cosslble solutions when the price support law expiree at th ana oc ibm. Telephone lll N. 209S General MacArthur to report to him or to officials of the defense establishment whenever be sees fit to do so," Russell said. "I doubt very much mat such a meeUng of the Senate Armed Serv ices uommuiee wouia serve any useful purpose while Uie Congress is not in session." Hunt said he thought Congress should be "Informed and consult ed" at once If there is any new plan to end Uie war. "inis is not a matter that I believe should watt until the new Congress convenes on Jan. 3," Hunt said. "And I am convinced most members of the committee would be able and more than will ing to return to Washington on such an Important mission." The idea drew support from an other committee member, Sen. S tennis (D-MlM), who said In a separate interview: "I would en dorse Uie plan if Sen. Russell sees fit to call meeting of the com mittee." Biennis also declined to com ment specifically on Truman's tart remark about MacArthur and Ei sennower. but he said he disap proves of the way the whole mat ter nas been handled. Someone ought to do some peacemaking and bring these men together," Stennls said. "There snouia oe no controversy about whether and when to consider any plan to bring this war to an early and honorable conclusion. But equally it should have been dis cussed secretly and at high mili tary levels before there was a pub lic announcement that it might even exist." Eisenhower, now en route back from Korea, baa disclosed he In tends to meet MacArthur In New York soon to discuss what lies behind Uie latter' declaration of Dec 6 that "I am confident there is a clear and definite solution to the Koresn conflict" without un duly heavy Allied casualties. ine remark, naa been Interpreted widely as meaning MacArthur be- neves ne nas some new plan for ending the war which differs from the one he advocated when Tru man fired him In April, i61. MacArthur bad tavpred bombing uramunut oaae m Mancnuria, a blockade of the Red China coast and other steps which Truman and the Pentagon Insisted would in volve too great a risk of touch ing off a new world war. Meanwhile, there were some some signs that field commanders in Korea may have urged upon Eisenhower a new offensive to ward the Yalu River, preceded by a buildup of V. B. and Asian forces. Field officers urged such a drive when nine members of Uie House Armed Services Committee visited Korea In September. The same arguments may hare been re peated to Eisenhower; the situa tion has changed liule In Uie past threw months. Rep. Short (R-Mo), chairman designate of Uie House Armed Services Committee, told a report er Uie House group left Korea convinced that Allied forces bad to win North Korea to Incur an Asiatic peace. "A country divided against it self cannot stand," Short said. "Unless Korea is reunited, you're going U have continual trouble In all of Asia...." It waa Sen. Watklns (R-Utah) whose suggesUon for a Truman-Etsenhower-Mac Arthur conference the President rejected at his news conference yesterday. Watklns said he is "sorely disappointed and the people will be" by Truman's at titude. Sen. Wetter (R-Idaho) told re porters he -thougl.i tuC President had slandered both Eisenhower and MacArthur.
