At lull accounts, they were being chased through the hllla wlUi bloodhounds. In Florida where they use eon- vict labor to build highways three men escaped from a road gang last night.

So our boys hollered for a freete on total military, power especially ground troops, and their weapons, of which Uie Russians have vastly more divisions than all of our side put together. No dice, Uie Russians aald again It took 30 meetings to get the U.N. disarmament committee dis cussions to that point. There are very, very many very, very pleasant placet In London to hold meetings.

Most seriously affected by Uie freezing wenlhor In May was the alfalfa crop, Following Uie cold snap tills crop did not recover and farmers are now cutting Uie first crop which It appears will be from X to 60 per cent below normnl. The second cutting should not be affected, however. Barley stands, aa of now, Indi cate that though considerable dam age was dona by Uie freeze, rains and cool weather have caused most fields to stool heavily and Uie fore cast Is for a 76 per cent yield com pared to 1893. Last years barley yields were exceptionally heavy. Alslke clover yields are not ex pected to be materially hurt by the freete, Jendrtcjewskl stated. Clov er acreage In Uie basin Is under last year but the per acre yield should be about average. Luckily the cold spell occurred at a time when very few potatoes were up. Borne early plantings Utat were out of the ground wore sol back by the freete but are now re sponding to better growing weath er, Barring a late Juno frost, po tato yields should be good. Acreage plantings In this area are esti mated to be less than 10 per cent under last year, With good growing weather from here on out It Is expected that har vesting will start on time with the exception of from 10 to 90,000 aores of barley reseeded after Uie freeze. Harvesting of these acres may be two weeks or more late. fries five f.'cnta li ragea Vietminh, French Hold Secret Talk lly I DDV (ill.MOHE CIKNKVA m The French have limed secret talks with Vietminh foreign minister I'liam Van Dong An informed source said Thursday chances of settling Uie Indochina war now aeem "reasonably good."

The action set In motion machin ery to distribute to 16 Western Oregon counues approximately 1 million dollara In limber aale re ceipts Impounded pending selUe menl of Uie controversy. The land In question has been claimed by both Uie Forest Service and the Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLMi. The latter agency has con tended Uie acreage Is properly part ol Uie grant Congress gave Uie Ore gon and California Railroad In 1867 later withdrew, and subsequently aet up under BLM lor Uie benefit of Uie 16 counties. Under terms of Uie bill, proposed by Sen. Cordon and Rep. Ells worth. Oregon Republicans, and signed by Uie President Thursdsy. administration of Uie land remains with the Forest Service. Timber sale receipts, however, will be distributed In accordance with the special 00 formula enacted by Congress In 1037. ' , , The O&C formula provides that the 16 counties receive 76 per cent of Uie receipts rather then Uie 36 per cent which would accrue un der normal forest service practice. Insoiar as the distribution of re ceipts Is concerned Uie bill legis latively confirms a recent decision of Uie U. 8. Court of Appeals In a ease brought against Uie secretar ies of Agriculture and Interior by Clackamas County. The court's decision, however, did not specifically rule on the quesUon of administration.

Just as on the chief Issue s union demand for 13 Vt cents an hour more pay and on how many. were striking. there was disagreement about Uie settlements. The AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union (LSWUi asld at least 85 small operators in Western Oregon and Washington had made approved pay Increase offers and C.000 men had been told to return to work. Several thousand, the un ion said, also had returned in Cali fornia among Uie 26.000 Involved In Uie strike there after getting acceptable offers. Some of these are believed to be ss low as 6 cents, a figure which the union raid Wednesday night was no long, er high enough. The CIO International Woodwork ers of America (IWA said It had approved a number of selUements lor Uie full 12 V, cents covering several hundred men. Both unions, working together for the first time since the CIO split from Uie AFL In 1B37, assailed ststements by Walter Durham Jr., spokesman for a group of major employers In Uie Douglas fir belt. Durham, who said union-approved settlements were subject to auto matic reconsideration once Uie ma jor plants settle, called them "aweetheart" deals which were misleading. Legitimate no-Increase contracts, he aald. have been signed to put some 7,000 workers bsck on Uie Job. Durham said. too. there would be no peace talks until after July 4, If then. He said employers were going to remain firm In their posi tion that no cost Increases be ap proved. Kenneth Davis, executive secre tary for Uie Northwestern Council, LSWU, ssld this attitude had stif fened Uie unions and ruled out lower-price selUements. He said too. visi some employers were fearful of making settlements "be cause of reprisals" from other em ployers. While this exchange of stste ments went on, 36 mills In Uie lower Columbia River srea In cluding lour In Portland, failed to reach agreement with the LSWU. Some 3.000 of their 4.600 workers walked out. James M. Whsllon, un ion secretary, said Uie other 1.500 had received offers they - were considering and would either set Ue or walk out shortly. The base minimum wsge now varies but is sbout 81.66 on hour.

There was no Indication of a 'major battle shaping up anywhere. The anti-Communist "liberation army" seemingly was bogged down ny isck of transport Just north of me Honduran border. The army of Red-backed President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman still hsd not made sn appearance in force In Uie Held. There were these developments: 1. Seven persons were reported wounded, three gravely, when Hon dursn police fired on a Teguci galpa crowd watching a pro-Ar-benz. antl-U.S. demonstration by stuacnts In Uie Honduran capital last night. Later thousands of Uie students and townspeople gathered to parade through Uie city. HONDURAS 2. Honduras charged a Guate malan airplane bombed a Hondu ran airfield Tuesday. The Teguci galpa government said It Is pro testing lo Uie United NaUons and to the Organization of American States. U. N. sources In New York said last night the International or ganization had not yet received the protest, Uie third filed In connec tion with Uie lighting. Guatemala has entered two, one of which still Is pending. 3. Guatemala promptly denlec'. Uie bombing charge. Guatemalan Foreign Minister Guillermo Torie llo said in a statement "not a sin gle Guatemalan plane has flown toward Uie Honduran frontier." 4. The OAS's Inter-American Peace Commission, meeting In Washington,' referred to Guatemala a proposal by Honduras and Ni caragua that Uie five-nation body make an on-the-spot investigsUon of charges by the A "bens govern ment that the two neighboring re publics supported . "aggression' against Guatemala. ' Commission Chairman Luis QulntanUla of Mex ico said he hoped Uie Guatemalan government would accept this "generous offer prompUy. FORMAL DENIAL 6. Nicaragua formally denied It wss guilty of any aggression. In a cable to Uie U- N Nlcarsguan Foreign Minister Oscar Sevilla Sa casa said Uie charges were Intend ed to conceal Uie Communist affil iations of the Arbenz government. 6. A Guatemalan broadcast said President Arbenz has assured U.S. Ambasssdor John Peurlfoy In Gua temala City Uie safety of U. S. citizens living in that country would be. assured. There had been reports earlier that the embassy was planning to airlift out the nearly 1.300 Americans there. The progress of Uie rival armies was clouded by a welter of con flicting reports, many of them ob vious propaganda claims. One rebel broadcast claimed the insurgent forces led by Col. Carlos Castillo Armas were moving on Guatemala City from three sides. A govern ment broadcast said Uie rebels had been repulsed and were fleeing to ward Honduras.

US Leaders Irate Over Eden Speech By JOHN M. IIIGHTOWF.R WASHINGTON I The United States has cold-shouldered the Churchill government's proposal, on Uie eve of Churchill-Elsenhower talks here, for a Locarno-type system of security guarantees for re-threatened Southeast Asia. Under such a system Uie Uni ted States and Communist China presumably would be among Uie power guaranteeing some kind of Southeast Asian settlement. War torn Indochina, according to the view of officials here, probably would be "neutralized." In response to a request for comment on Uie proposal and other aspects of a foreign policy speech to Parliament by Foreign Secretary Eden Wednesdsy, State Department spokesman said Thursday: TEXT. OF SPEECH "We were not informed of tho content of Mr. Eden's speech tn advance of Its delivery. We have not received a text of his remarks and therefore have no comment." Tho emphasis on not be tog in formed and Uie failnre to maka any softening comment gave a . strong indication of official United States reaction, which authorities would amplify only to private comment- ' In fact, the idea of non-aggression security treaties of the type worked out at Locarno between Uie two World Wars is regarded by American officials as having no value whatever as applied to Southeast Asia. ' Secretary of State Dulles and President Eisenhower have re peatedly made clear that the)', do not think Coninrunist governments csn ever be counted on to main tain such guarantees and that there is danger of false sense of security on the part of the West. , 1 DULLES ANGRY In addition aides or Dullee were reported angry- that Xdea bad given no preliminary hint ef his proposal and that he had ta their view interposed a new con dition in the way of British agree ment to "what atalles-has been working for an antrCommuntst security pact In which Britain, the United States, France and Asian and Pacific nations would Join to secure as much as possible of In dochina against Red conquest. The. Washington reaction added one more evidence that the talks which will be opened ol the White House Friday between President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Chur chill. Eden and Dulles will be held against a background of personal Indignation and even elements ef hostility, as well as differences over fundamental policy questions.
