It la rlllirr a unlveraal irlncl)lo or no principle at all. That la why KUilnpla contributed troopa to Uio Korean war." Let's take a look al Ethiopia. lui area la 380,000 square mllca, about Uirve and a half tlinea the olio of Oregon. On a fairly lame map of the world, 11 ahowa up as an Irreuular blob about Itie alto ol Uio head ol a carpet laok. Ita orliilna go back into Uio pro hUtorlo mUta, and there are few Tollable recorda of It early his tory. Tradition aaya the Queen of Hheba once ruled Ethiopia. King Bolomon waa one of Uie greata of Uioae deya (about 1000 B.C.I Tlie Cjiaun of Bheba heard of hla wis dom and hu glory and apparently took a dim view of the talea. Bo ahe paid him a visit to tee what he was like. She came, ahe aald, to "prove him with hard queallona," and ap parently aallrd In promptly with her oroas examination, Bolomon Htood up under Iwr lire quite ef fectively, The atory goes Uial when idle had aeon all hla ' glory and heard all hla wisdom "there was no more spirit In her." Bolomon appeara to have been pretty much Impressed with Bheba'a queen and la ssld to bsve proponed to her on the a pot when ahe had finished her grilling. She accepted, became hla wife and bora him a aon who became the founder of the Ethiopian dynasty. The name Ethiopia, comes from two Oreek worda meaning "sun burned facea." and clearly refers to the dark akuia of the country's nallvea, But Despite their dark aklna and despite the historical record of what has happened to mot of the dark-skinned peoples ETHIOPIA THROUGHOUT MOST OP ITS HISTORY HAS BERN RULED BY ITS NATIVE PEOPLE. It la eill! tree and aelf-governed after the shocking Interlude of Mussolini's conquest of It, which was a curtain-raiser to World War II. You will remember that when Mussolini moved In with all the modern weapons of war Ihe apear-and-ahleld-ermed Ethiopians didn't run for their Uvea In panic. They atood up against II Duca'a mod ernly armed legions and died In their tracks. One of Ihe everlastingly credit able achievements of our aide dur ing World War II was our taking away of Ethiopia, from Mussolini and our giving i It back to the Ethiopians. I'm as certain as I can bo of anything that If, at the end of World War n. the British and Ihe French and the Dutch had given Southeast Aala back to the native people there would be no com munist crisis In Southeast Asia now, I'm pretty sure or comtthlng rise. At the end of World War II, we SHOULD have aald to our French and British and Dutch al Ilea: "Oenllemen, we've now paid all of our heredltaiy debts dtbt to Lafayette, the debt to our Brit ish blood. TWICE we've saved you from defeat at the hands of your enemies. You are Imperial ists. You are colonialists. Wo were the first nation la throw off the yoke of colonial imperialism. Hereafter, throughout the world, we're on the aide of those who WANT TO RULE THEMSELVES. It a nice to have known you, but this la the parting of the ways." If we had done that, we wouldn't be In the mesa we're In now, "Of all aad worda of tongue, or pen, the aaddest are these: "It might have been.' " At any rale Listening to little Halite Helas sle's bold worda, one can't help thinking that K we had moro Halite Selassies and moro Ethio pia, large and amall, collective security would be a moro work able device for pence. As it ta, . too many nations that are . our allies want the security bat w.mt somebody else to do the lighting for It. We aeem to be the one they have elected to do the fighting. Ike Blamed By Sen.

The onetime Republican who bolted his party In the 1953 presi dential race, cams to the aid of Democrats In the California pri mary campaign by delivering the major address to 4,000 persona at a Demooratlo rally In the Cow Palaoe. Morse called Secretary of Slate Dulles "a total failure" and aald Uio secretary was "relegated to Uie gallery" at the Geneva confer ence, i Urging election of a Democratic majority to both houses of Con gress this fall, Moras aald the El aenhower administration haa made a "costly mistake" In falling to disclose Ita foreign policy deoislons to the people on a bipartisan basis, until after they have been made.

Emperor Backs United Action WASHINOTON Ml Emperor Halle Selassie of Ethiopia de clared today that no state, "large or amall." can refuse Uie call of another for aid against aggression. "I call upon Uie world," he aald In a apeech prepared for a Joint aession of Congress, "for determin ation fearlessly to apply and to ac cept, as you and as we have ac cepted them. Uie sacrifices of col lective security." The erect, black-bearded African monarch, who Is making an of ficial visit to Uie United States, aald Uie principle of collective se curity transcends geography and continued: "We feel that nowhere can Ihe call for aid against sggresslon be refused by any state large or amall. It is either a universal prin ciple or It Is no principle at all. It cannot admit of regional ap plication or be of regional respon sibility. That Li why we. like yau. have sent troops halfway around the world to Korea." When Italy Invaded Ethiopia 18 years ago Selassie made an unsuc cessful appeal to Uie League of Nations for help. NoneUielesa the Emperor made clear today as he haa before that he la still a strong believer In Joint action. 8claale also told Congress his country hss made "enormous so cial, economic and material ad vances." t . 1 , ' t 1 tl SCALI MODEL of the new Klamath County elementary icheol to be built thii year on Home dale Road, half way between the Marion and Shaita tehoolt.

Colm Frlduy disputed Army ver sions of his efforts to get an offi cer's commission for his wealthy friend. O. David Schlne, and of his anger when barred from secret radar laboratories al Ft. Mon mouth, N. J. And he declared flatly that Sen. McCarthy never In his presence requested a commission for Schlne thus taking Issue with Secre tary of Uie Army Stevens. Stevens hud testllled his recollecUon was that McCarthy did make such a request at a breakfast Sept. It in Uie New York apartment of Bchlne's parents. As to Uie Monmouth Incident, Cohn acknowledged he wss angry, and said he didn't recall all he ssld, but he Insisted he bad not In fact "declared war" on Uie Army. Ray H. Jenkins, specisl counsel of Uie Benate InveaUgaUons sub committee, cross-examined Cohn at some length about Uie Incident last Oct. 20 when Secretary Stev ens refused to clesr Cohn for ad mission to the laboratory. "And you declared war on the Army, didn't you?" asked Jenkins. "No, sir," Cohn replied. STEVENS AIDE Col. Kenneth BeLleu. aide to Stevens, testified earlier In Uie week at the subcommittee's tele vised hearings Into Uie McCarthy Army row that Cohn "blew his top" and declared, "This Is it, this Is war with the Army." The officer, also quoted Cohn as saying "Well Investigate the beck out ot you. Cohn said that he would not dis pute BeUeu's testimony that he wss angry, but be testified that he thought the colonel waa cor rect In some of the worda ha at tributed to him and Incorrect about others.

Cohn said he did not and could not have made that statement be cause, since he hsa been with the subcommittee, "I have not bad ac cess to FBI files and I have never seen FBI files." Cohn said "Uie whole da- (at Monmouth i wss filled with a lot of ridiculous things." COHN BARRED One of these things, Cohn said, came outside Uie laboratory from which he was barred. He said the party was told It waa about to see something- no one had ever seen before they were "making a big thing of It." Cohn said an officer whispered to him that a Russian military mission already had seen it. He aald he passed this InformaUon on to McCarthy, and the senator asked about It out loud. After koine discussion, Cohn re lated, It developed that a Russian mission some Ume before had been cleared by the State Depart ment and was shown around Ft. Monmouth.

The Communists call for assembly zones within each of three Associated States, taking into account political, economic and geographic factors. The West says this means partition. Supervision of a cease-fire both sides agree to International super vision but toe Communists want to set up a neutral nations super visory commission similar to the four-nation body In Korea. This group has been deadlocked on most questions by Communist veto. , International guarantees the West wants the nine parties to guarantee a cease-fire. Individually and collectively. The Communisms want to guarantee it collectively. This, ijoterprctejlby, the West as couiauujig a DuutfliB veto. 7 FRENCH PROPOSAL ' French ' Foreign Minister Georges Bidault proposed yester day that uie military representa tives ot uie two commands the Vieuninh.and French Union forces meet in Geneva at an early date. He suggested, however, they deal with assembly zones, in Viet Nam only.. , This was not in full agreement with an earlier proposal by Brit ish Foreign secretary Antbonv Eden that the military representa tives deal "first" with the assem bly zones, in Viet Nam. Some ob servers felt Eden's suggestion left the way open for later action in Laos and Cambodia. Bidault also proposed ihe con ference itself lay down two prin ciples: (1) that the establishment ot assembly zones must not result in dismemberment of Viet Nam, and 13) that the aim of regroup ing must be the reestablishing; of peace in vtet Nam.- KLAMATH BASIN POTATO SHIPMENTS SklpM T.J.T 2 at Day Laat Tesr o TeteJ tar 11.471 11.47 H - '", v4 i-Vrf!'
