DBA M 'toy's NewslfeMi mMMm Br FRANK JKNKINH WASHINGTON; I Irll Into conversation at lunch Ilia olhor day will) a distinguished ertllor from Ilia Deep South. Ha la o( tha NEW Boulh Uie Boulh that la growbig mora rapidly than any oilier part o( our country with the possible exception ol Calllornla. 'tile South Hint make I La cotton with traotur limtead ol with a nulla. The Boulh that Is beginning to experience Ilia brneliu ol a balanced economy broutiht about by integrating industry wllh agri culture. The South that 1.1 losing lla be lief that Uia end o( Uie world will coma If and when Uie supremo court ol Die United Slates over riden the doctrine ol "aoparalo but equal" and rulea that segregation ol black and white must end. Thla Southerner made his choice two years alio when he Joined the Elsenhower crusade. Ha roda Uie Elsenhower campaign trains when Ike was seeking Uie Republican nomination. He roda Uiem again In tha campaign that followed the conventions, He rides them still In spirit. But, whereas he had NO mis givings In Uioso crusading month that preceded Uie fourUi of No vember 1063, he Is beginning to FEEL misgiving. Not of Ike. His fallli In Ike 1 as strong as ever. Ha still holds lilgh the Elsenhower torch. The duubts that arc beginning to assail him concern what Increasingly back here one hears relerred to as the palace guard. In this group this Southern edi tor doesn't Include Uie major members of the President's cslil net. His faith In them as able, dedicated Amereana continue. Hli suspicions fall chiefly upon what ha calls the White House politicians. Of them all. he likes Sherman Adams the least, What ha hopes Is thst Ike will toaa them all out and assume per sonal direction of his administra tion. That Idea la growng back here. One hears It on all sides. And NOT INFREQUENTLY among Re publicans up on Capitol Hill. What It bolls down to Is a ris ing belief that the people have more faith In Prealdent Elsenhow er than In the Republican party. . If that Is true. It la growlngly important that President Eisen hower shall assume personal di rection of his administration which must stand or fall on its achievements, If he doesn't, eon fusion may grow. If confusion grows, the chsncea of a Demo cratlo administration will rise. All Republicans, of course, look upon that contingency aa a calam ity of the first magnitude. And All the Republican In congress want to be reelected. In that they are like all persons who have ever held congresslonsl office. Believ ing a nearly everyone doea that the confidence of the people In President Elsenhower Is unshak en, It seems quite likely thst they will fall In behind Uie President If and when he doea assume more active personal direction of his administration and that thereafter an impression of Republican SOL IDARITY will take the place of the Impression of Republican di vision thst now prevails a little too widely for Republican comfort.

Tlie meeting today wss held In strictest secrecy. Molotov had in dicated early tills week he was ready to deliver RuhsIb'b reply lo super-secret "concrete" proposals made by the United States March 10. These Islk between Uie Ameri cans and Russians have been go ing on behind Uie lightest cloak of secrecy since Elsenhower pro poned an International .pool of atomic energy raw materials and know-how for peaceful uses in his address to the U.

Including the currently bogged-down discus sions on Korea and the projected talks on Indochina here al Geneva. Dulles has a full ' weekend acntdule before he leaves Mondny to return to Washington. This in cludes a meeting with Undersecre tary of State Walter Bedell Smith, who Is arriving today to head the U. 8. mission at Geneva after Dulles departs. On his way to Washington Dulles first will stop olf In Milan. Italy, to confer briefly with Prime Min ister Mario Bcclba on mutual U. 3 -Itulisn problems. Although tho formal meetings on Far Eaalern questions here at Geneva have been recessed during Uie weekend, there was the usual amount of behind-the-scenes diplo matic activity. Among other meetings scheduled waa a conference of Uie 16 nations which fought in Korea under the Untied Nations banner. This group is working out it strategy for the remainder of Uie Korean dis cussions here. The Allied group has appointed a subcommittee to draft a resolu tion outlining plans for free elec tions in Korea designed to unify Uie war-torn peninsula. Memberu of the subcommittee are the United States, Britain, France, South Ko rea, Thailand, Australia, Colombia, the Philippines and Turkey. There sUll was no definite in dication when the talks will get started on Uie 7-year-old war in Indochina between the French Union and Uie Communist-led Viet mlnh. It the delegates agree Uie Ko rean and Indochtnese talks can go on simultaneously the Indochina quesUon could begin next week. A major obstacle in the make up of the conlerence was removed when the Viet Nam chief of state. ex-Emperor Bao Dal, agreed his representatives would sit In a meeting with the Vlelmtnh.

Units of Uie garrison force struck Friday In raids which drove the rebels from an undisclosed number of entrenchments and gun positions nestled close to the French barri cades. Twenty Vletmlch soldiers were reported killed and some prisoners were taken. The French High Command acknowledged, however, that the Vietmlnh masses surrounding the remote mountain position were continuing to dig their web of trenches. The diameter of the bas tion now is only about a mile and rebel entrenchments are within 1,800 feet of French headquarters. As the batUe for Dlen Blen Phu went Into its 50th day, there was no sign when the Communist com manders of the rebel force would launch another mass infantry as sault to try crushing the fortress. It still was expected, however, that they would try to scoro a big victory to sway the Geneva con ference in its Indochina negotia tions. -Li "e ---i hM ill,, faaitw;4 fe'Ai eaHaaaBMaaaBBMBaBiBHaaBBBaBaaBi r -1I4ip, 1 I M iv Yl & Ml x if Y5i CHECKING THE NEW FLIGHT SCHEDULE are United Airlines station agents Wesley Nearinq (left) and Bob Davenport. Involvement Of U.S. In Indochina Warned Against WASHINGTON Ut Three Demo cratic senators said today Con gress is in no mood to approve in volvement of U, 8. fighting units In the Indochina war. A Republican, Sen. Flanders (Vt), agreed that the thought of direct American intervention is un popular in Congress. But he said Uie United Stales and the United Nations may be forced to take di rect action, if the Communists threaten to overrun Indochina. Sen. Edwin C. Johnson (D-Oolo) took note of President Elsenhow- Lumber Union Meets Held PORTLAND OF) CIO Wood workers and several groups of lumber operators Saturday con tinued meetings In an effort to reach an agreement before the union's Monday strike deadline. In negotiations with the union were the Lumbermen's Industrial Relations Committee. Willamette Valley operators, the Plywood and Door Manufacturers Industrial committee and the Tri-County Loggers Assn., Everett, Wash. Federal mediators indicated Friday after a day-long meeting between the URC and the union that litUe progress had been made toward settlement. A. F. Hartung, union president, said "the situation looks very gloomy." A strike would involve some 50.000 CIO Woodworkers In the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. Employers, contending the industry cannot afford additional production costs, have rejected Uie union's proposal of a 13 -cent hourly wage increase and other benefits. Meanwhile, F. C. Nelson, the Southern Pacific Railroad's Port land district traffio manager, said Thursday's shippings of 993 car loads .of lumber and plywood in Oregon was the biggest movement of its kind in the railroad's history. Some observers took this to mean that employers were bracing themselves for a strike. - ,w cr's news conlerence statement Thursday that this country will not get into a war except through the constitutional process, involving a declaration of war by Congress. 'If uie President waits for Con gress to give him Uie go-ahead on sending V. 8. troops to indocnina," Johnson said, "he will wait for a long, long time. There is no senti ment In Uie Senate for intervention in Indochina." Sen. Monroney CD-Okla) said in a separate interview that "no case has been made as yet for the , , . use of American troops" in Indo china and he added: "There is lit Ue likelihood that Congress would give such authority now." Sen. Holland-4D-Fla) said he would have to know, much mora "about the immediacy of the situa tion (in Indochina) before I'd con sent to sending our combat troops there." In taking his somewhat different position Sen.. Flanders said: "We can't pass off all our dan gers and troubles to our children and grandchildren. We must face them." Flanders Is a , member of the Senate Armed Services Commit tee. Earlier in the week, the House defeated 214-37 a proposal by Rep. Coudert (R-NY) aimed at barring use of American combat forces in Indochina without prior congres sional assent. The Indochina War has been a critical issue in- Uie Geneva Con ference, from which Secretary of State Dulles is preparing to return early next week. Diplomatic sources here expect that Dulles' return will bring to a crisis a cleavage of opinion within Uie U. S. government over how strong a policy the United States should adopt toward Indochina. Dulles and Adm. Arthur W. Rad ford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are said to be the "action men" of Indochina policy. But there are others In and out of Con gress who are not as ready as Uiey for direct steps. Postmaster Named At TL TULELAKE I,eon Van Nort wick. a '49 homesteader, has been appointed acting postmaster, in Uie Tulelake office accordmg to word from W. K. Hellekson, post ollice Inspector, Redding. His ap pointment became effecUve today. Van Nortwick succeeds Kenneth Rudisill, who resigned. He will serve on a temporary basis until a civil service examination Is set. At that time three applicants with Uie highest rating will be consid ered and Uie permanent appointee will be recommended from this group. Van Nortwick and his family came here from Cottage Grove.
