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.

to return to Washington. This in

U. 8. mission at Geneva after

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

Although tho formal meetings on
Far Eaalern questions here at

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

The Allied group has appointed

Red Attacks
Repulsed
HANOI, Indochina Wl The
French Saturday reported a
"calm" night at the embatUed
fortress of Dlen Blen Phu after a
series of lightning charges against
Vietmlnh attackers.
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

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.

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.

Child Custody
Battle Rages
A legal battle for extradition of
Thomas Frederick Duke, 41-year-old
Klamath Falls motion picture
projectionist, wanted nere on a
child stealing charge, will open in
Carson City, Nevada, next Thurs
day. Duke is accused in a complaint
filed here with fleeing to Nevada
with his six children, ranging from
16 to one year In age, who were
in the legal custody of their moth
er, Jean W. Duke, Klamath Falls
nurse.
According to Sheriff Murray
Brltton. after he took the children
to Virginia City, Nevada, Duke
himself obtained a divorce de
cree. The Nevada court gave him
legal custody of Uie children.
Mrs. Duke obtained her decree
from Circuit Judge David R,
Vandenberg on November 13,
1953. At that time Judge Vanden
berg awarded her sole custody of
the children.
Sheriff Brltton said that last Jan
uary Duke Is alleged to have tak

residence in Klamath Falls where
they were staying on the pretext
they were going to a family re
union. According to Brltton, tha
other two children were taken
from a local school. '
Duke, who was arrested on a
fugitive warrant In Virginia City,
is at liberty under $500 bail.
The extradition hearing will be
held before Gov. Charles Russell of
Nevada, Oregon will be repre
sented by District Attorney Frank
Alderson and Deputy Sheriff Dan
Hammond. The hearing was
scheduled after Gov. Paul Fatter
son of Oregon requisitioned the
Nevada governor for the return of
Duke to Klamath Falls.
Duke was Indicted by the Klam
ath County Grand Jury in April
on a charge of taking away chil
dren with intent to detain them
