Zone Army BERLIN W Communist East Germany today was reported slash ing In half its 125.0OOman army which so signally failed to put down the recent workers' revolt. , The move appeared designed to free men and money for the Reds' announced new program to placate the East Germans with more con sumer goods. Reporting this, the Socialist-edited West Berlin newspaper Tele graf said over 60,000 of the Soviet trained soldiers would be sent back to industrial Jobs by July 15. The East zone army failed dis mally when it was sent into action against the June 17 revolt. After Aussian armored forces intervened to out down the rebellion, German soldiers were put on police duty under Soviet command. The force reportedly slated to be cut in half Is the Kasernlerte Volks polizei (KVP), an organization sep arate from the 100,db0-man Volks polizel or people's police. The KVP is completely militarized and has undergone Infantry training since 1949. A vast reduction in armament expenditures had been ordered by East Zone Premier Otto Grote wohl's regime on the eve of the uprising. The cutback apparently will be carried out now despite the anti Communist discontent still seething in East Germany. The Telegraf said miners, skilled craftsmen and trained apprentices will be the first troops to shed the Russian-style elive green uni forms.

Americans should not be too discouraged. Eisenhower added quickly that these differences with Rhee are very real. - On other matters the President: . 1. Said be believes Secretary of State Dulles can get out a clear directive making it plain what books should be stocked- In the overseas information libraries maintained by the State Department- . Dulles, he said, has called his attention to the law allowing these libraries, to be set up and this law makes it plain the books in the libraries should be about Ameri can life and the American system of government. .

Said he believes the Republi can Party is gradually showing li can take over the responsibilities It inherited and can carry them out. This comment was touched off by a question as to whether he is satisfied with the treatment given his program in Congress by the Republican majority. Plainly taken aback, the Presi dent said he didn't think that was much of a question, adding it is too general to be answered. But he went on to make his remarks about the party's showing It can take over its responsibilities.

For Wheat Set KT OVID A. MARTIN 'WASHINGTON (Secretary of Agriculture Benson waited until the final day today to announce that rigid production controls will be invoked on the lost wheat crop to keep surpluses from getting much u anv larger. Crop control laws require the secretary to announce marketing quotas not later than July 1 for the following year's crop if sup plies at the time are of a size legally defined as surplus; Latest reports on this . year's production, plus reserves from past crops. Indicate a total supply of slightly -more than 1,700,000,000 bushels, the largest of record and around 700 million bushels more then markets are expected to take before the 1954 crop is harvested. Benson apparently waited until today for possible action by Con gress to make next year's cutback in production less drastic than would be required under present law. Under existing Haw, the 1954 planting would have to be 55 mil lion acres, a reduction of 30 per cent from this year's 78 million acres. The House has passed a bill to set the allotment at 66 million acres, a cut .of 15 per cent. The Senate has before it a measure to fix the allotment at 62 million acres, but has not acted. The law gives Benson until July 13 to announce the allotment and hence the extent of the production cut he would impose. Individual quotas In turn will be in line with the national allotment. vuotas must oe submitted to a referendum of affected wheat grow ers. Present law requires such an election to be held not later than July 24. But Congress may post pone the referendum until Aug. 14. Such an extension would be made to give the department more time to work out .individual planting shares for farmers and get proper notices to them. Quotas require the approval of at least two-thirds of the growers voting. Rejection oi quotas would result in a sharp drop in the government price support rate. Supports would be at 90 per cent of parity, or around $2.20 a bushel, if quotas were approved. But they would drop to 50 per cent of parity, or around 11.22, li quotas snoum oe rejected. Parity Is a price said by law to be fair to farmers in terms of prices they paid 'or things they buy. Quotas were last Imposed on wheat in 1942. Acreage planting allotments were last used in 1950. Meanwhile, the department an nounced that the. support rate for 1953-crop wheat will average S2.21 a bushel, the minimum set last fall under a forward pricing pro vision of the law. Keno Business Woman Dies Mrs., John (Genevieve Bunce, well-known Keno business woman, died at 6 a.m. at Hillside Hospital today following an Illness of two months. With her husband she had operated the Rainbow cafe In Keno for five years. Surviving besides her widower Is one son. Ward Freeman, Klamath raus, j brought along the cither from my sister's shop. He played it.. "We put ihe ashes thtre were quite a few of them left over in bags and tied them to two clusters of 11 balloons, Red, green, yellow, and blue ones. "Florence fired the lis gauge shot-gun. She wasnt trying to hit the balloons. Just the ashes. She did, too, and they scattered all over the hill. I guess the balloons are still going. "We didn't want any trouble or anything so we asked the police for permission and they said 'Fire away." ". About a dozen relatives and friends of Covell saw the cere mony. "But It's not a very practical way of doing It," the younger Co vell said. Sports Bulletin SEIXAS TO FINALS .

'. Rhee had been expected to hand over his new proposals Wednes day night, but a conference witn Walter S. Robertson, president Ei senhower's special truce envoy, failed to come off. Washington quarters predicted a showdown with - Rhee within 24 hours. Top U.t S. commanders in Korea were summoned to Tokyo for secret and urgent conferences, presumably to determine what mil itary steps may be necessary should Rhee carry out threats to fight on alone, i -.. (President Eisenhower, told news conference in Washngton he believes a satisfactory solution to the Korean armistice dispute is coming up. He didn't mention any specuio tune.) Robertson, assistant secretary of state, has made concession, to Rhee. in rve closed conferences, an authoritative source--declared. adding that "the door is not closed" to an agreement on a truce. , - , ' ,- The concessions were Intended to overcome Rhee's objections to any armistice agreement that leaves Korea divided. Robertson reportedly agreed to a possible joint U. S.-Korean walk out from a post-armistice peace conference If the Reds use the talks to try and win advantages they could not win on the battle field. And there were reports that a draft of a proposed mutual de fense pact between the U. 8. and Korea has been drawn. Such a pact is Rhee's No.l demand. The source added, however, that after declaring that "all my de mands have been met," Rhee made fresh demands which have blocked an agreement. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles made it plain in Washington Tuesday that the U. s. intends to sign an armistice with the Commu nists even though Rhee may re fuse to co-operate. And in Seoul a high official declared, "We are going ahead with an armistice, un deterred." ' Gen. Mark Clark conferred for four hours with his top air, naval and ground commanders in Tokyo. Gen. J. Lawton Collins, outgoing Army chief of staff, sat In on the session and left for Washington im mediately afterward. His headquarters said, "There will be no announcement as to the subjects discussed." - Obervers agreed the deepening armistice crisis unouestionablv topped the agenda. And there was speculation that the generals and admirals would map strategy If trouble flares as a result of Rhee's threats to fight on alone if a truce is signed. - in Washington, Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala) suggested that "we might be put in the embarrassing posi tion of having to fight the South Koreans In behalf of the Commu nists' if the Reds agree to a truce on the basis of pledges made by Gen. Clark. . And Chairman H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ) of a Senate foreign relations subcommittee on the Far East expressed fear "the Commu nists might put us In a tremendous hole it they decided to sign the truce paper." Associated Press Correspondent Sam Summerlln quoted an author itative source here as saying Rhee told Robertson, "All my demands have been met by President Elsen hower in the truce crisis" after Robertson "clarified" four points last Saturday. Rhee had asked for clarification of the U. 8. position on: 1. A mutual security pact be tween the U. S. and South Korea. 3. U. 8. economic and military aid to South Korea. 3. A pledge that the U. S. would stand with South Korea in the post armistice political conference. - 4. U. S. co-operation In striving for "peaceful unification" of Ko rea. The source said Rhee first ap peared delighted with Robertson's oral explanation, but later injected "new angles, new meanings" which were rejected by Robertson.

He had been notified two weeks ago be could not return next fall because his grades were too low. The boy was missing from his bedroom yesterday morning. His parents found a note: "Dear Mom, I killed Mr. and Mrs, H. You can call the police and tell them In Michigan because that's where I'm headed." - Police found the mutilated bod ies of Harris, 53, a newspaper and radio executive, and his wife Grace, 50, in their blood-spattered ransacked house. The Harris' 1949 sedan was missing. A bloody 8-inch knife and James' gory clothing were found in the Duranty yard. A religious medal identified as his was in the Harris house. Police Chief Romain London and Charles Wilson of the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory snld that robbery appeared to .be the mo tive because of the way drawers and desks were opened and one of Harris' pockets turned inside out. , The brutality of the slaylngs was not readily explained. James had been on good terms with the couple and had often mowed the Harris lawn and done other jobs. Mrs. Harris' nearly nude body was hor ribly slashed and her head nearly severed. Wilson ssld there were indications she also ' had been choked. But there was no evidence of rape. - Harris, editor of the Door county Advocate and owner of radio sta tion WOKW, apparently was killed In a terrific struggle In the living room after being summoned home from his office, where he had been working Monday night. Machinists Strike Yards SEATTLE Wl Striking AFL machinists set up picket lines Wednesday at' most of the ship yards from San Francisco to Puget Sound.- The walkout followed a deadlock over a pay increase dispute. It af fected about a dozen plants on San Francisco Bay, about the same number on Puget Sound and four major yards at Portland. Some yards were not affected, however. The striking Internation al Association . of Machinists had reached an agreement earlier with the big Bethlehem yards at San Francisco and Alameda, Calif. Two other major San Francisco Bay yards were not affected be cause the machinists in both are affiliated with the CIO but there also was a strike threat there. Early reports ' indicated other workers were refusing to Ps the picket lines at the struck plants although other unions had reached agreements with the yards. The leadership of the AFL Boilermak ers Union had asked members to continue at their jobs. Eleventh hour conciliation ef forts failed Tuesday night. The union rejected an employer com promise offer. . m fc 1 hv t ;. vi ! Si. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON. 1 ' i j,;;- T u : I THERE WAS A GALA WELCOME at Municipal Alfport la it night for Mn.

MsCar- thy (R-WIs) says Dr. Nathan Pusey, new president of Harvard University, "has neither learned nor forgotten anything since he was a fresnman in college." . "I do not think Pusey Is or has been a member -of the Communist party," McCarthy said in a letter to Neat O'Hara, Boston Traveller columnist, made public yesterday. But he said the new university bead was among those whose "Hatred and contempt appear to be Infinitely greater for those who effectively expose and inture the Communist cause" than for Com munists themselves. McCarthy conceded that he might "not be entirely unbiased" about the educator, who formerly headed Lawrence College in the senator's home town of Appleton, Wis., because Pusey fought his re election to the Senate.
