Hence, no firm conclusions Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS I thought President Elsenhower's speech In Boston last night was a masterpiece. After hearing it, no Republican needs to apologize to anybody for being a Republican. After all, it WAS the Republican party that led the bloody struggle to end human slavery In America. a And m the half century that fol lowed the war to end human sla very the Republican party com- - manned tne continence of tne tieoDle al the UNITED States suf ficiently to remain in power about 0 per cent of tne time. I'm -no hidebound partisan. Over its long history, I have great re spect ior tne Democratic party. It has had Its moments . of blazing glory. '.It has had its less admirable periods; So in its shorter lift has the' Republican party. ' ' At this critical moment In his tory, the Republican party is in the driver's seat. It Is led by men whose Ideals are high. Let's all HOPE It succeeds in what It has set out to do. If It falls, we'll all sutler.: J I'm sure everyone must have lead about this 22-year-old North Korean pilot who flew a Russian MIQ into one of our airports in South Korea the other day. We ilad ft standing reward of $100,000 tor any communist pilot who did thati This young Norm . Korean fsavs he didn't know there was any such reward, but Is glad to hear it. He says he hopes ne can STUDY in the United States. I hope so too, and I hope that eventually ne can become natur alized and turns out to be a good citizen, we can use all such people especially young people who have the courage 'to leave the slavery of communism behind them and strike out for FREEDOM. Pesldent Elsenhower does a nice thing today. - He proclaims October 11 as Gen eral Casimlr Pulaski Day In honor of the Polish count who helped to win the American Revolution. Octo ber 11 will be the 114 anniver sary ot the death of Pulaski. , ' Casimir Pulaski was born in Poland In 1748. He served for a time in the Polish army at a period when Poland was under the heel of Russia as it NOW Is. The Polish army was then an instru ment tor the oppression of Poland as the Polish army, under com munist domination- now is. Young Pulaski deserted and joined with his lather and his brothers in a re bellion to free his country of Rus sian control. , - His cause was LOST. The rebel Hon was crushed. Young Pulaski fled to Turkey and then to France, In France he met Benjamin Frank lin and under the inspiration of that great patriot he came to Amer ica and joined Oeneral Washing ton's forces in Philadelphia in 1777. ' He organized a corps known as MuasaTs- Legion which was sent to South Carolina. Pulaski - wax killed during the siege of Savan nah, where he commanded both the French and the American cav alry. His name will live forever in our annals, along -with that of Lafayette and many, many other liberal Europeans who came to America to help in the fight for freedom. ' Here Is a solemn thought: America was then As NOW the defender of human freedom In a world In which human freedom seemed to be losing out. The Euro pean world was still held In the .cruel grip of the ancient and cruel institution of feudalism. It was realization of this fact that brought to us men like Pulaski men who were ready to say w'th our Patrick Henry: CTV! ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH. I hope, and i can't help believ ing, it was some such conviction that led this young North Korean to make a clean break with mind enslaving communism and come whishing into our airfield in South Korea the other day. I, think that same thought must have been in President Elsenhow er's mind when be set apart the 11th day of October as Oeneral Casimir Pulaski Day. We need men like that, just as we needed them back in the grim mo's-imen of idealism from all over the world who are willing to give their all for the cause of human freedom. 4 , . re warranted at this time. EXIiTlNQ DEVELOPMENT '' Butte Valley Is situated at the lower level of a closed surface ba sin comprising a watershed area potentially Inadequate for full Irri gation development of the valley. There are 58,000 acres of arable lands In the valley of which about 10,000 acres are now irrigated. The present irrigation supply is ob tained mostly by ground - water pumping with a minor supply from diversions of unregulated flowa In local surface streams. Major irri gated crops now grown Include po tatoes, grain, alfalfa, alsike clover seed and pasture, with large acre ages of dry-farmed grain. Crop yields per acre, with adequate ir rigation,' are- three-to-four times greater than yields without Irriga tion. Irrigation is required, for. suc cessful growing of the hlgher-in-come-per-acre crops of potatoes, alsike clover -seed and Hannchen Barley. The developed water sup ply for most of the presently Irri gated lands is Inadequate. tor maxi mum production of these crops. Drainage also Is Inadequate. About 12,000 acres of publio lands in 1 Butte Valley are suitable for homes leading-, if an adequate wa ter supply can be -developed. Cor respondingly, there Is public de mand for opening to entry of ad ditional public lands under the Homestead Act in, the Upper Klam ath Basin. ' rtre Ceuite 1 Pages -. KLAMATH .

But later at a White House session on Sept. 10, Durkin said, "he informed me he had changed his position since the New York meetinir and that he could no longer go along wiiii me xy amenaments. . Elsenhower has never answered Durkln's charges of a broken pledge. The amendments were re garded as considerably more fa vorable to unions than to em ployers. However, Durkin said he considered them fair and, if El senhower haa presented them to Congress, a fulfillment of the Pres ident's campaign pledge to change the law. In his Boston speech Mondav night Eisenhower said an admin istration study of T-H law changes is continuing and that ne will have recommendations for the nvt . sion of Congress to make "more secure our industrial neace anri productivity, more clear and ex ploit tne rights of labor its unions and Its employers.'-"; 1 Durkin said Tuesday most of tfte 19 changes had at one time or another been proposed by Republi can leaders in Congress, including the late Sen.
