Oryille Hamilton, Klamath's chief of police, gave the most thought ful remark of the evening on the subject when be commented that clocking a suspended violator wasn't as easy as the public often thought, and that although basic maximums would helo. as would stop signs and carefully regulat ed iranic, mere were still many Problems tO be SolvMl A malnrltv of the civic leaders present, how ever, favored the establishment of the fixed limits. Mayor Al Loucks. Salem, m-esl- dent of the organiiation, spoke briefly on the aims of the League following an introduction from May or Paul Landry, official and gen ial host for the meeting which in cuded municipal heads from Lake view, Merrill, Malta, Bonanza and Chiloquln. ' . Many hones were dashed when the group discussion veered around to the abatement of evesores un der the law. General opinion of the experts, including Raymond Coul ter, field consultant for the League, was that there were few and limit ed means of ridding a city of build ings or residences as eyesores un less they could be proved to be a menace to public health and wel fare. Other municipal problems d!s- cussed by the group w r- such widely varied topics as juvenile de linquency, no solution in sight; taxes, assessments.- state aid in purchasing city equipment; the legal aspects of "floating" bums and vagrants out of town; and the problems connected with comple tion ot the Sprague River cutoif between that town and Chtloquin. Of particular Interest to cltv of ficials was the discussion regard ing the assessed values of proper ty with regard to civic Improve ments. All those present concurred that there should be some relief in uie bonding problem in order that street work in particular could be done even though the value of the property at the time would not sup port tne necessary cost. League of- ficlals pledged a close study into the matter with a possible end in view ot some changes in the Ban croft bonding law. Progress resorts from the various communities were Beard, with par ticular emphasis being placed on the Malin and Bonanza park im provements, and Klamath Falls coming, in for a pat on the back over the new municipal swimming pool slated to go into operation if ana wnen the warm, weather comes, , t. - Vice as such was not mentioned except in a dry aside -from Loucks who referred to the recent blow up in Lincoln county, an affair which puts- them, rather than Klamath County, in the limelight.

The West promptly branded the Russian move a sham. The Russians announced last nleht they hereafter would assume the same relations with the Communist- East Oerman government as "with other sovereign states, but would continue to keep their occupation army in the East sone to "safeguard security.': Western observers saw this as the latest in a long series of Soviet maneuvers to force official West ern recognition of the Eat sone satellite a campaign continually rejected by the Western Allies and the West German government on the grounds the Eastern . regime does not represent the people. The government-operated xsst German radio gave the announce ment the full treatment, repeating it three or four times hourly. But the U.S. State Department in Washington recalled the wide spread worker revolts last. June in East Germany and declared the entire PUDoet regime would col- laDse under the weight of hatred and hostility of the populace" . If Soviet trooDs were withdrawn. West Germany's Acting unan- cellor Franz Bluecher, heading the Bonn government while Chancellor Konrad Adenauer is statelsitlng in Turkey reacted similarly. He termed the announcement "just a phase of the propaganda battle of the East against me weev ana said it "will not change the en slavement of the East Oerman noDUlatlon." ' The soviet announcement saw the East German Republic will be "free to decide-. . . its own internal and external affairs, including the questions of -relations with West Germany." - - " 1 But it immediately added mat the "Soviet- Union retains m. the i East i German Democratic Repub lic those functions which are con nected with safeguarding security and which result from owuranons arising for the U.S.S.R. from four- power agreements.'
