Gulf coast residents from BUoxi,

tola morning when they wake up
and find four Inches of snow in
their yards and on their walks and
weighing down their flowers and
making even whiter the glisten

' I mention this (with the warm,
tsht March sun Dourinji through
my office window) because It al
ways tickles everybody to near
about SOMEBODY ELSE who Is

My inclination is to get all the
satisfaction possible out of the
situation today, because by tomor-
row we may be cussing our weaui-
er while the Gulf Coasters may
be wriggling with happiness over
aneirs.

Harry 8. Truman is in New York
this week, where be is appearing
.. on a television program. Guarded
by 11 cops (be was the first to be
shot at by Puerto Kican screw
balls, and it might happen again)
he takes bis morning constitution
al in the Big Town. He aays of
his police guard: "It Isn't neces
sary" and he means It. Nobody
doubts Harry Truman's courage.
He does 32 blocks in 38 minutes
this morning (with the temper
- ature three degrees below freez
ing) and tells the reporters and
the cops and the curious spectators
who come panting along behind
him; "I've got to teach you New
Yorkers how to wslk."
HST wasn't as good a financial
administrator as we could have
wished and as a result he let us
in or a lot of taxes and trouble,
but he's what we call a regular

old age. Personally, he has the
golden touch.
I'm intrigued this morning by
the case of the saunas motorist
who was arrested In Holllster yes
terday for driving too slow in the
passing lane oi a lour-iane nign-
wav.
He was doing 52. The speed limit
Is 65. The drivers he was attempt

wasn't getting for in his effort, to
pass. A cop nailed hint" lor ob
structing traffic, and a JP fined
him $7.60. He refuses-to pay, and
demands a jury trial.
I can't say that I blame him
What's a passing lane for if it
isn't to PASS? If the rule
which he was arrested and fined
Is to be applied generally, why
spend money on multi-lane nign

E. Stevenson agrees with Presi
dent Eisenhower that the Army
has not coddled Communists but
be reportedly was prepared today
to criticize Eisenhowers leader
ship on domestic and foreign pol
icy issues. '
Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic
presidential nominee, was sched

rally here tonight in which he
planned to outline his views on
Former Red
Warns About
Smuggling
WASHINGTON Wl A self-style
firmer Communist has testified
that Hawaii statehood would make
it easy to smuggle spies and sabo
teurs into the United States,
The testimony was given Feb.
28 by Paul Crouch of Honolulu be
fore Sen. Eastland (D-Mlss), a
member of the senate Internal Se
curity subcommittee. .Eastland in
serted the transcript in the Con
gressional Record.
Crouch, who said be is now em
ployed by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service, testified
that Immigration Service inspec
tion of aliens traveling from 'Ha
waii to tne mainland would be dis
continued . if Hawaii became a
state. , ( -
"There are many boats, fishing
boats, in Hawaii that travel
throughout the Pacific, and smug
gling of aliens into Hawaii would
be very easy,'? Crouch said.
"This is no problem at the pres
ent time because they cannot come
from Hawaii to the mainland with
out examination by the Immigra
tion Service, and they would be
caught with little difficulty.
"However, if Hawaii becomes a
state, mis inspection between Ha
waii 'and the mainland would no
longer exist. Anyone who might
land on the various isolated islands
of Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Kalawao
or Lanai could take a plane from
those local Islands to Honolulu and
from there to the mainland.
"This could easily make the
smuggling of aliens from Asiatic
countries- to we united states a
most profitable business."

Policies
the major Issues of this year's
campaign for control of Congress.
The former Illinois governor told
a news conference on his arrival
here yesterday he does not believe
in Army nas coaaiea uommunisis
as charged by Sen. McCarthy
(R-WIs) any more than previous
Democratic administrations had
knowingly permitted "subversives,
traitors or spies" to remain in the
government.
He avoided direct questions
about McCarthy but said he did
not believe the Wisconsin senator's
investigation ot alleged Commu
nists in government would be a
major factor in the congressional
campaign,
ASSAULT .
Although some of the Democrats
rallying here for a southeastern
party conference avoided any di
rect criticism of Elsenhower, Stev
enson was said by friends to be
ready to launch a frontal assault
on the President for the first time
since he was defeated by Eisen
hower in 1952.
Stevenson told a news confer
ence yesterday he planned to dis
cuss Elsenhower's strained rela
tions with McCarthy, which have
oeen pointed up by the latest ver
bal clash over the Wisconsin sen
ator's assertion the Army bad been
"coaaiing communists."
Stevenson agreed, in effect, with
Elsenhower's declaration there
could be ho question of the loyalty
oi most memoers oi tne armed
services.
Eisenhower said that the Arm?
had-made a '"serious error" In
promoting Maj, Irving Peress, who
declined to say whether he was a
Communist. . .
ARMY DEFENDED
Stevenson said he believed the
Army had not coddled Communists
"any more than previous Demo
cratic administrations ever cod
dled a single subversive, traitor or
spy deliberately." .
.: Tills .was a reference .to -he
charge by Atty. Gen. Brownell
that former President Truman had
promoted Harry Dexter White
when he knew White was a Soviet
spy.
Stevenson's agreement with Ei
senhower in the Peress case was
regarded by Democratic politi
cians here as purely coincidental.
The 1952 Democratic nominee
was prepared, on other grounds, to
disagree quite heartily with Eisen
hower's policies.
Stevenson told reporters he was
"disappointed" in what he called
the "lack of leadership" by Elsen
hower in what the former Illinois
governor regards as vital domes
tic .and foreign problems, i
Stevenson said he was "dis
turbed" by the "massive retalia
tion" program of military policy
announced by Secretary of State
Dulles recently.
Gulf Area Hit
By Snowstorm
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The heaviest snow in years fell
along the Gulf of Mexico Satur
day. The wintry blast piled up a four
inch snow blanket in Mobile, Ala.,
heaviest fall there in 50 years. The
heaviest snowfall since 1944 was
reported in Biloxi, Miss., and Ft.
Walton, Fla.
Delighted youngsters and some
adults rushed out to view the larne
powdery snowflakcs that fell along
the white sands of the beaches and
filtered down through azaleas and
camellias blooming In profusion.
A rainstorm turned to snow along
the gulf, coast during the earlv
morning hours. Temperatures
were a little above freezing, but
the fall Was heavy enough to pile
up on the ground before it melted.
Cold weather blanketed much of
the nation. Three more deaths
were blamed on the snow In
Cleveland, bringing the storm
death toll there since Sunday to
, ine cny was covered bv 20 a
inches of snow, and many of the
deaths were caused by overexer
tion of persons clearing away the
accumulation.

Hear Dulles
Tell Plan
CARACAS, Venezuela Wl The
United States proposed Saturday
that tne nations of America Join
forces in emergency action any
time communism gains control of
any republic In this hemisphere.
Secretary of State Dulles will
address the 10th inter American
conference here Monday on the
resolution, formally presented Sat
urday. Some delegates had expressed
fear the U.S. resolution might try
to pin a Red label on Guatemala,
which the United States has ac
cused of following the Communist
line.
Guatemala's foreign minister,
Guillermo Torlello, denied earlier
Saturday that he had assailed the
United States Friday in an ad
dress before the conference.
CRITICISM
Torieilo, whose leftist govern
ment has often been criticized by
U.S. officials on the charge It Is
Communist-Infiltrated, insisted his
attack was aimed at "interven
tion," the "Internationalization of
McCarthyism," and the "great
North American monopolies."
The Guatemalan foreign min
ister told newsmen.
"We did not and do not attack
the United States; the attack is,
and we repeat it, against the great
monopolies, which do not repre
sent, we are sure, the lasting In
terests of thn American people nor
of their government."
After the undercover feud be
tween Torlello and Dulles had
blazed into the open Friday. Satur
day's plenary session of the con
ference was canceled. There was
no explanation, but it appeared
likely - that conference leaders
wanted time tumempers, to cool.
In his' speech Friday, Torlello
said his country Is battling the
big stick and dollar diplomacy
employed ny -uie lorces of inter
national reaction."
PROPOSES
He said he proposes, any declara
tion or resolution considered by
bis government as a violation of
fundamental democratic rights
and intervention in Its Internal
affairs.
Dulles took up the challenge
promptly. Ha said Torlello had
repudiated two resolutions ap
proved by Guatemala at previous
international meetings condemn
ing International communism "as
Incompatible with the concept ol
American freedom and as a dan
ger for the American States." He
expressed confidence that this con
ference would adopt an even
stronger stand.
The question comes up Monday
before the political-Judicial com
mittee. To have a debate, there
must be a resolution to argue
about. The U.S. delegation has the
weekend to draft one.
The United Stales won the first
skirmish before the committee, Its
motion to put Communist Infiltra
tion at the top ot the agenda car
ried 15-3. Guatemala, Mexico and
Argentina were opposed. They
wanted to discuss the question of
European colonies in America,
which originally was the first Item
on the work sheet.

to the president. With them here
was Superintendent J. A. McKlnnon
of Shasta Division, headquartered
at Dunsmuir.
Russell reported that for the past
recent weeks volume of lumber
shipments on the railroad -have
been nmnlng approximately even
with last year, which was the peak
year of all time. Largely because
of this, the Pacific Northwest is a
bright spot on the railroad, he said,
Last year Southern Factfio moved
out of Oregon more-vthan SIHMW
carloads of manufactured forest
products, he added. :
NEW SCHEDULES
Effective the middle- of last
month. Southern Pacific revised
freight schedules from originating
points in southern and central Cali
fornia to speed up arrival here of
the dally North Coast perishable
train by 6 '4 hours, Russell an
nounced. The train Is now sched
uled to arrive in Klamath Falls at
2:30 Instead of 8 a.m., increasing
the reliability, of deliveries that
same morning to local consignees.
By the time the shipments arrive
at Portland and at Seattle, via co
operating connections, the effect is
to save a full day in delivery times,
he explained.
Outstanding improvement on Sou
thern Pacific last year was the
$2,461,000 installation of centralized
traffic control northward from here
to Crescent Lake, Russell said.
Similar installation costing another
$3,803,000 is now underway between
Crescent Lake and Eugene. Cen
