It looks at the moment Ilka the ' Ill-starred Ucneva conference has bogged down completely.

Her physical strength was low alter Dunkirk, but her SPIRIT WAB 1IIUII AND BOLD. It was then that Churchill made his Blood, Sweat and Tears speech, which was per haps the most Inspiring oration In human history. Hie Churchill of Dunkirk knew the tight with Hitler waa a light - la the death and ne man i recou from II. The Churchill ot today Ihlnka the fight with world com- munu.nv.csn be negotiated and ap peased and compromised. The French mesa Is getting messier If possible. We've been hoping for a miracle that would convert the weak and vaccllatlng Prance of today Into the France of greater years. It Is becoming fairly certain that the miracle Isn't going to happen. Even WE sre not what we once were. In Washington with grim dan gers leering at us from the horlion the McCarthy ruckus draga on and on and on. It drags on and on and on primarily because tills la an election year and the McCarthy tow has strong political ' over tones, Both aldea ire afraid to call It off because of fear of what might happen as I result next No vember. The grim dsnger of Die muck throwing McCsrthy mesa Is that It may destroy our' fslth In our traders and In ourselves. The quea lion that looms In Its background la tnls: Is ANYBODY honest and decent any more? We're scornful and bitter about France. But perhapa the altuallon that prevails In Washington today H not TOO DIFFERENT from the situation thst prevails In Parla. We've been throwing atones at France because of the low quality or her politicians. Maybe we live In a glasa house. Maybe we are In no position to throw atones. The McCarthy mesa, drsgglng on from day to day, sometimes sug tresis, that disturbing thought. We're sharply critical ot the Br! tain of today in comparison with the Britain of Dunkirk days. Mar be we're not the people we were on that fateful 6th day of June when we embarked on the Oreat Adventure and took off for the beaches of Normandy. We HAD It then. Do we have It NOW? T think we have. In concluding this piece, let's cite the case of the 19-year-old In Portland who during the Rose Fes tival found an envelope containing several nunarea doners in bins. Inside the envelope was an ad dress. Ho didn't hesitate. HE SENT THE MONEY BACK TO ITS OWNER, That Is to any. he was honest and decent. There are tens of mil lions of Americana like him.

Let's keep that In mind, New Indochina Leader Seen SAIOON, Indochina, l.tl Author itative sources said Tuesday the iive-montn-oia government ol viet Nam's premier, Prince Buu Loo, will resign Wednesday. Ngo Dlnh Diem, 03-year-old Roman Cnthollo reformer end outstanding National ist, Is expocted to aucceed him. The choice of Diem was seen here as an attempt to set up a new regime of leading Nationalists un tainted by previous closo ties with the French. The obvious aim was to rally the masses against the Communist-led Vletmlnh and win over anti-Reds who had failed to support Viet Nam's chief ot state, Former Emperor Bao' Del, , Informants snld Buu Loo had already sent his resignation to Bao Dal In France.

"Because certain witnesses weren't produced at the trial to Identity a gun, this defendant Is not In a more serious position now. The fsct thst certain witnesses were not hero to Identify the gun, does not make me less cognisant of the tact thst tins defendant hsd a gun in his hand."

But the' later information from the Guatemalan capital received here said Arbenx had until Uie end ol the week to answer. Two former Ouatcmalan defense officials who fled their Commu nist-tinged land say the Army Is on the verge of revolt. "All we hsva to do Is put the spark that will blow out all the Keds," former Defense Under Sec retary Miguel Angel Mendoza told reporters last niuhi. "I think there Is a great division In Uie army and I am sure Uiat when Uie mo ment comes, most ot them will take the course lor which we are ligoung." - Olllc.al quarters In Washington received a roport last night that Guatemala's army had given Pres ident Jacobo Arbenx Guzman an ultimatum to quit sometime today. Tho report, which was described as lackuig full oillclal confirma tion, aald Arbenz had agreed to get out provided Uie army guaranteed not to molest any Guatemalans. Uiat Arbenz himself Is not a Com munist. But his regime has had strong backing from Uie Reds, and In return he has made numerous concessions to them and given Uiem key government posts. Mendoza and his brother, former air force chief Col. Rodolfo Men doza, arrived here Sunday. They told reporters a "reign of terror" gripped their homeland and at least 600 persons were In Jail. They said the situation in Guate mala appeared to be nearlng s climax. They said Guatemalans were eonvuiccd revolution would explode at any moment. Press dispatches from Guate mala have been subject to a strict censorship since Arbenx suspended civil liberties a week ago and charged a plot against tho govern ment had been uncovered. Travelers arriving In Honduras Irom the Gualcmalau capital re ported growing tension and many army dcrerllons. There was a re curring rumor that Gen. Carlos Sartl. army chief of staff had dis appeared. The U, S. High Commission an nounced In Germany yesterday Uiat six tons of Swiss antiaircraft ammunition consigned to Guate mala had been held up in Ham burg at Uie request ol American authorities. y i NortiSfyf i Duvls declined .mm A tame the areas where strikes could be cx'iccted beloro Monday.

The two unions claim some 160,(100 members in Wash Ington. Oregon, Calliornla, Idaho, Montana oud Nevada. Davis said negotiations were scheduled Wednesday with ply wood and door manulocturors, and Thursday wllh the Lumbermen's Industrial Relations Committee at Lumber Operators at Eugene and another employer group in Central Calliornla.

Okla. Vfi A DC-4 pas senger plane, with one of its four engines torn olf and flames spurt' Ing from Uie fuselage, landed Its iS passengers safely here early Tuesday seconds before Uie craft was destroyed by fire. The craft, a non-scheduled sir liner owned by Orcat Lakes Mr- lines, carried 75 passengers and three crew members on a flight originating in New York and dec lined for Los Angeles. No one was injured and all pas sengers had nothing .but praise for the pilot, Charles Pedesky, who averted a tragedy wlUi his quick action. It was no more Uian eight min utes from the time Uie plane got into distress until Uie pilot touched It down safely In a light rain at the airport of tins Noruiwcst Okla- home town. Bernle Weiss, Los Angeles, pub lic relations representative for the Los Angeles Jewish Community Council, was one of the passengers who was awake throughout the or deal. Ho said he was sitting next to Uie window and suddenly saw flames erupt from the No. 3 en gine. Weiss said most of the passen gers were asleep and those awake remained calm under Uie circum stances. Weiss could not give enough credit to Die pilot, who he said did a magnificent Job in bringing the piano down safely. New French Chief Faces Problems PARIS ijft Pierre Mcndes France, anked to try to form a new French cabinet, talked Tues day with the chiefs of French mili tary forces as he worked on a new program (pr Indochina. He said he would talk late Tues day with Ambassador Jean Chau vel, acting head of Uie French del egation at the Geneva conference. Chauvel is being recalled from Geneva for the consultation. Mendes-France said he would re port to President Rene Coly Tues day night on the progress of his negotiations, and would probably be able to say then when he will go before the National Assembly to ask confirmation. Since Wednesday will probably have to be devoted to writing his speech of uwesllture. Mendes France Is not expected to go before the deputies before Thursday. Mendes-France accepted the In vitation from Coty to form a new cabinet to succeed that of Premier Joseph Laniel, who resigned after losing a National Assembly vote of confidence on Saturday. Mendcs-France's chances were considered slight. In addition to the Indochina issue, a major fac tor is the bad split over the sched uling of debate on ratification of the European Defense Community (EDCl treaty. Any successor to Laniel needs the support ol both Uie Catholic Popular Republican Movement (MRP) and the Union for Repub lican and Social Action (URAS), the latter made up of followers of Gen. De Gaulle. The MRP wants Uie army treaty debated as quickly as possible; uie Gaulllsts bitterly opposed to the EDC plan, will fight ai) attempt to force debate. The new Premier will have to conjure up some lormula to recon cile these views. Mcndes-France's publio atatements have been more against than lor the European army, a position which Will prob ably cost nun support among the MRP bloc. Observers still can only specu late whether the Assembly, II It came to a vote on EDC. would approve the plan to rearm West Germany as part of a slx-naUon force. All sources agree the out come would be close. Advocates of EDC believed a few weeks ago they could line up a ma Jorlly of 20 to 30 members. This, however, counted on Uie support of at least 60 of Uie 105 Socialists In the Assembly. A special Socialist party congress recently endorsed Uie treaty and threatened party dis cipline against members opposing the past, but there still Is a large group oi socialist diehards willing to defy those orders. 4-H Members Attend School About 40 4-H Club members, representing most ot the clubs in Klamath County, boarded a school bus at the post office this morn ing, preparatory to leaving for Corvallls where they will attend 4-H summer school June 15 to 25 The local club members are at tending on scholarships provided by the Klamath County Fair Board, United States National Bank.

Johnston opened a one-day con ference on plant dispersion, bomb resistant, construction, and em ploye protection with this asser tion In a prepared statement: "Industry Is sure to be bit hard and fast and first because ii an aggressor can put you genUemen out ot business, America will be out of business. And be knows that." High military, civil defense and mobilization officials were on the program of the Chamber-sponsored meeting.

McCarthy Aide Testifies As Hearings End Predicted WASHINGTON Wl Francis P. Carr testified Tuesday "I don't think at tlus time the Army is coddling Communists." But he said he thinks Secretary Stevens and Army counselor John G. Adams "went to great lengths to prevent exposure" of persons who cleared Communists In loyalty In vestigations. Carr, stalf director tor Sen. Mc Carthy's Investigations Subcom mittee, made the statements in an exchange with Army counsel Jo seph N. Welch at the 34th day of the McCarthy-Army hearings. Carr had agreed with Welch that McCarthy's proposal to call Army Loyalty Board members before htm was one of tho main factors m bringing on the "collision" be tween Army officials and Uie sen ator. Welch suggested there Is a grave legal issue as to whether the Mc Carthy subcommittee could require Board members about cases they had handled. He said "honestly patriotic" persons could take the view It would be ."pretty awkward to call up the judge and say how como you decided the way you did." Carr said: "It may be a little awkward, but I can't see If they were doing their Job and doing Allies End Deadlocked Truce Talks By EDDY GILMORE GENEVA Wl The 18 countries) which fought under the United Na tions flag in Korea issued a Joint declaration Tuesday declaring the Korean, peace talka wers being broken off. The declaration was laid before the lt-nation Korean Conference after the three Communist mem bera had made a lost-minute ef fort to delay tho break-up of the talks. The 18 Korean allies expressed regret over failure ot the seven weeks of negotiations, but declared that It would be useless to con tinue the conference longer. Toe declaration said the non. Communist countries bad; made every effort, to setUe the problem but "the Communist delegations have rejected all our efforts." The 16 declared they would give the United Nations a full account ot the developments at Geneva. MAIN OBSTACLES They asserted one of the mala obstacles to a setUement was tho refusal of Uie Communist countries Russia, Red China and North Ko reato permit the U. N. a super vlsory role In a Korean setUement. , The statement said it waa better to faco Uie fact of the disagree ment rather than to raise false Dopes and to permit the people of the world to believe "there la agreement when there Is none." Countries signing the declara Uon were: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, United States, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Luxem bourg, New Zealand, Netherlands, Philippines, South Korea, Britain, Thailand and Turkey. Earlier North Korean Foreign Minister Nam. II put a proposal before the conference which the Communists said would insure the peacelul development of Korea. Red China's Cbou En-Lal save it his immediate backing and asked for secret discussions by a seven nation group consisting of the Big Four powers. Communist China, North and South Korea. INDOCHINA PHASE The Indochina phase of the con ference was In recess until tomor row, when it will take up the West em demands that Communist-led Vietxntnh forces get out of Laos and Cambodia. Western sources said Contrmmist reaction to these demands on Laos and. Cambodia -rwould. determine -whether the Indochina talks will continue. British Foreign Secretary Antho ny Eden made this clear at a se cret session yesterday. He told the nine-party meeting that the Indo china conference had made but one solid achievement In its seven weeks of deliberation the start of military discussions between rep resentatives of the French .Union and the Communist-led Vletmlnh. Eden was understood to have added that if the parley falls to make progress tomorrow on the problem of Laos and Cambodia, he was not sure it would be worth while to continue debate. SUGGESTION He suggested that a wise course might be to suspend discussion un til the military commission finishes its work of drawing cease-fire lines. Informed quarters said the Briton was not thinking of any overnight recess, but of a considerable In terval. This waa resarded as particular ly significant since Eden In the earlier stages of the conference had been the most paUent of the Western leaders. The Communists previously have refused to treat Laos and Cam bodia separately from Viet Nam, contending that the fighting In all three states stems from naUonalist movements. France and her allies contend that Vletmlnh forces from Viet Nam Invaded the two neigh boring kingdoms. Russia's Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov made a slight concession yesterday. He said the neutral na tions commission for supervision ot an Indochina cease-tire might, un der certain conditions, take deci sions by a majority vote. it right they would have anything to fear." , The Issue Is one which will hang over from the present hcarUigs as McCarthy has said be intends, once they are over, to renew his efforts to get Loyalty Board mem bers before him. Sen. Dlrkscn (R-IU) commented; it Is the old issue of separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches of gov ernment, i- Dlrksen said the Issue will have to bo settled some day, Including; the question of whether a congres sional committee can question members ot Loyalty Boards. The Republican majority of the hearings subcommittee is aiming for a. wlndup of the hearings on Friday, but continued feuding be tween Sen. McCarthy and Sen, Symington (D-Mo) would delay that. McCarthy and Symington have tangled repeatedly during the bear ings. Their feud flareU anew late Tuesday, with McCarthy accusing Symington of a "smear" against his aides and Symington retorting; that secret information in Mc Carthy's files has been' handled laxly with respect to security reg ingtoo put it.
