I've Junt finished rcudlnir tlie

Speaking candidly. It la duller

ing. At noon yetlerday, church
Ill broke the atraln of the heavy
Wlilla House cuntercnooa by going
out to lunch at the National Press
Club. He waa prevailed upon to
ay a few words, and amonii other
Uilngs he expressed hla peraonnl
belief Uial a plan lor "peacelul
co-exlatence" with the Soviet bloc
can be developed.
He called lor patience In our re
lation with Kussla. along with a
"cool, friendly examination of what
the Ruaalana want."
It'a pretty good advice, ir, but
I think that AS OP NOW this la
what the Ruaalan want:
They want the world with the
Ruiulan flag- flying- over It and the
communist brand of the hammer
and eickle permanently burned Into
Ka rump,
I'd aay that before we can reach
th desirable stage of "peaceful-co-existence"
wltli Ue Sovleta that
you mention we'll have to convince
the men In the Kremlin that thry
JUST CAN'T HAVE THE WORLD
WITH THE SOVIET BRAND
BURNKD INTO ITS RUMP.
Convincing them ol that la our
preaent Job. It' a big Job, But once
we gel them convinced that WE
CANT BE TAKEN It will be com
paratively eaay to Injure out a way
to get along with them In the
world.
But aa long aa they think they
ran take us, they'll keep on try
ing. What ' going on In Guatemala la
ailll puuling Including the hid
den boll trick the commlea appar
ently tried when President Arbent
resigned In lavor ol a Junta thai
seems to have been rather heavily
loaded with communists. The anil
communal crowd. It o w e v e r. re
fused, V tall for It and are holding
out ft ' elimination of all commu
nist In Vrncea In Uie capital.
I stilt hope the anil-communists
down there (who seem to have han
dled themselves rather well so
Jen turn out to be 'Oualemalan
PATRIOTS who are ready to fight
and die If need be to Iree their
country of communism and KEEP
IT FREE.
If the apread of communlam Is
to be checked, there must found
somewhere In the world some na
tion that la ready and willing to
riOHT FOR ITS OWN LIBERTY.
Guatemala might be that nation.
Anyway, It's worth hoping.
At the moment, it will have to
be agreed, the world la a rather
grim-looking spectacle. The farther
one looks, the harder It Is to see
a bright spot.
Wait a minute.
Do you remember the general
reports from the valley of the Rio
Grande about this time a year
ago? It waa so dry that every
thing waa cracking open.
BUT NOW THE RIO GRANDE
IS STAOINO THE B I O O E S T

major lumbering centers, mer
chants expressed fear for the fu
ture If the strike Is prolonged, but
reported no dropofl In business thus
far. One union spokesman said that
a great number of men are on

ring some of the strike's economic
effect. Tlie heavy vacation period

To Call
Civil Cases
Status of criminal prosecution in
Circuit court was uncertain Tues
day sfter Judge David R. Van
denberg announced he will con
centrate on civil actions as a re
sult of District Attorney Frank
Alderson's demsnd for an outside
Judge to preside here.
Last Saturday, Aldcrson filed two
motions asking the supreme court
to name another Judge to try two
criminal cases. This was followed
by a motion objecting to an out
side Judge filed by Attorney V. 8.
Balenllne, counsel for Tobe Carter,
under Indictment on a morals
charge. Balenllne claimed Alder
son was attempting to deprive
bis client of a speedy trial.
Judge Vandenberg and Alderson
have been at odds for months over
methods used by the district at
torney In handling criminal cases.
Aldcrson lost a bitterly fought
bogus check ca6e when a circuit
court Jury late Monday returned a
not guilty verdict after only eight
minutes of deliberation.
The defendant In this case was
Robert R. Smith, 31-year-old con
struction worker, who was charged
with passing a $50 bogus check at
Uie Crater Lake Cale It Tavern
in Fort Klamath.
Defense Attorney George Proc
tor evidently convinced the Jury
that Uie state failed to prove the
material allegations In the Indict
ment. In his plea for acquittal,
Proctor said that the state failed
to prove that Smith obtained mon
ey under false pretenses or passed
a bogus check.
Proctor also pointed out that Uie
complaining witness, Howsrd Ol
son, did not endorse Uie check In
volved, therefore It was not pro
perly presented for payment at a
Klamath Falls bank.
It was also brought out during
testimony that Olson sold Smith
beer on credit which was a viola
tion of 'state law. Olson also ad'
mltted making out the check In
quesUon and handing It to Smith
to sign. Asked why he did this.
Olson said the defendant wss
"too nervous" to mske out the
check himself.
Judge Vandenberg was reluctant
to discuss Alderson's attempt to
have an outside Judge assigned to
Klamath County. He said, however,
that due to delays In prosecution
of criminal cases, there has only
been one civil docket call In Klam
ath county in the past 14 months.
"If prosecutions had been pro
perly handled." the Judge added,
"many of the civil matters pend
ing could have been disposed of
long ago. I am going to have a
civil docket call In the next few
daya. All during July I will be try
ing civil cases."

Armaments
Reduction
Called For
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON HI President
Eisenhower and Prime Minister
Churchill called Tuesday for "gen
eral and drastlo reduction" of
world armaments "under effective
safeguards."
In a six-point statement of prin
ciples they also asserted their de
termination to try to bring about
conditlona In the world In which
Uie "prodigious" forces of atomic
energy "can be used to enrich
and not to destroy mankind."
At the same time they held out
to all nations. Including Commun
ist nations, "the hand of friend
ship," on the condition that by
"solemn pledge and confirming
deeds (these nations) show them
selves desirous of participating In
a Just and fair peace."
The statment waa released by
the White House an hour after
Elsenhower and Churchill conclud
ed their last meeting In the Presi
dent's office and said goodbye on
the south lawn of Uie White House.
The two men shook hands warm
ly. .
'GOOD LUCK'
"Goodbye and good luck," Chur
chill said. .
"The same to you," replied the
President. And to Christopher
Soames, son-in-law of Churchill,
Eisenhower said: "Good luck
Bring him back again, will you?"
Churchill planned to leave by
plane in the afternoon for Ottawa,
Canada. . ,
In five days of talks here, tha
Prime Minister and the President
overcame some British-American
differences but left many issue
unsettled.
Here are six points 61 the prin
ciples set out In their statement:
1. The two men win continue
"in intimate comradeship" their
efforts "to secure world, peace
based upon the principles of the
Atlantic Charter, which we reaf
firm." 3. They extend "the hand of
friendship" to all nations which
prove they want to participate tat
a true peace.
3. They promise to use "every
peaceful means to secure the In- ,
dependence of all countries" '
whose people want H and are
"capable" of maintaining it.
BED SATELLITES '
But, they said, "we will not be
a party", ta any -deal confirming
or extending the "unwilling sub
ordination" of once Independent
states "now in bondage" on ap
parent reference to Communist
satellites. In this same connection
the two men promised to try to
unify through free u.N.-supervlsed
elections, those nations ' divided
against their will evidently mean
ing Korea, Germany and Austria.
4. They believe that "the causa
of world peace would be advanced
by general and drastle reductions
under effective safeguards of world
armaments of all Assses and
kinds." They added: "It win bo
our persevering resolve to pro
mote conditions in which the pro
diglous nuclear forces now In hu
man hands can be used to en
rich and not to destrov mankind."
REGIONAL SECURITY
5. They called for Uie organiza
tion of regional security systems
under the United Nations charter
and promised to support them with
assistance" when desired by ths
peoples of the affected countries."
This was In line with Eisenhower's
and Churchill's soeciftc declara
tion Monday that they had agreed
to "press forward" with plans for
an alliance in Southeast Also.
. They declared their Intention,
Jointly and with other- Allied gov
ernments, to build up and main
tain "the spiritual, economic and
pursue the purposes they set forth .
and they said they would promote
fuller and freer Interchange of
goods and services which would
benefit aU participants."
ATLANTIC CHARTER .:
The Atlantic Charter affirmed
by Churchill and Elsenhower was
drafted by Churchill and Franklin
D. Roosevelt in 1941 at a meet
ing aboard warships anchored off
Newfoundland.
Its main principles: No terri
torial aggrandizement; no terri
torial changes opposed by peoples
concerned; the right of all peoples
to choose their own form of gov
ernment; equal access by all states
to world trade and raw materials;
full international collaboration,
economically and socially: a peace
assuring all nations safety within
their borders and freedom from
want and fear; freedom of the
seas; disarmament of aggressors
and a permanent system of "gen
eral security."
The last of the five-day series
of meetings between Uie President
and Uie 70-year-old Prime Minist
er lasted 45 minutes. Churchill will
visit Ottawa, Canada, briefly and
then head back to London.
