Ml Hi ie 1 v v i n i i i ill ill ii WWW In The' Dav's lews By FRANK JENKINS Hie Washington scene: Senator Flanders of Vermont wants a senate resolution CEN 6URINO Senator McCarthy. The Washington correspondents are all FOR his Idea, lor It would start a first class light and the Wash ington correspondents LOVE fights. They make headlines, and the Washington reporters live by headlines. Senator Alexander Smith of New Jersey, wiser and more tolerant, suggests a committee of six sen. a tors to investigate and report on the "alleged good or evil of so called McCarthyism." By the time they turned In their report, the six senators would be all cooled off. Senator Smith, you see, is the occasional individual who would rather STOP A FIGHT than to start one. I personally Just hap pen to believe that more good can be accomplished hi the mod ern world by STOPPING fights than by starting them. , Continuing the Washington scene. Senator Mike Mansfield of Mon tana wants a provision written into ' the foreign aid bill to stop ALL military and economic aid to for eign countries next June 30. Walt a minute. Let's keep our shirts on. By next June, .we might want to demonstrate in the Philip pines that America ISN'T a colo nial Imperialist country, that it gave the Philippines back to the Filipinos, that it is helping the Filipinos to HELP THEM SELVES. In that way, we might help the Filipinos to prove that AMERICANISM IS BETTER THAN COMMUNISM. If that should happen, the Asian might turn In and FIGHT COMMUNISM themselves. That, ! if it happened, would be wonder ful. At any rate, let's keep our selves in a positon to give it a trial. You've heard of course of this Frenchman Christian Dior, who invented the fashion phrase "the New Look" and got himself a squillion dollars worth of free advertising which he has used quite shrewdly for his own bene fit. The teletype says this morn ing he has issued a new ukase: "Drop the waistline to the hips and DE-EMPHASIZE the bust line." The fashion reporters fay he is going back to the vogue of the 20's. A mere man would say that what he's seeking to achieve Is the GUNNYSACK LOOK. There's a prevailing fashion the ory to the effect that if you stand still in one place LONG ENOUGH all the fashions in women's dress since time began will go past you. Or Putting it another way If you hang 'em In the closet when they go out of style and keep 'em there long enough the time will come when they'll be high style again. If that theory is sound, and if you could stand still in one place long enough, I suppose that even tually you'd have to stand there and WATCH THE BUSTLE AND MOTHER HUBBARD GO BY. As Li'l Abner says: SHUDDER!! IIIII1 If you believe the archaeologists, the theory IS sound. They point out that in the island of Crete beautifully carved ivory statuettes have been found which prove that as early as 3000 years BC Cretan women were WEARING BUSTLES. They were also wear ing corsets. And ivory receptacles that apparently couldn't have been used for aikthlng but lipstick and rouge and such have been dug up in the same places. I've read nowhere, however, an account of statuettes proving that in the days of the early Cretan civilization women wore Mother Hubbards. The Mother Hubbard was a rel atively modern crime. One thought in closing: This early Cretan civilization, one of the most wonderful in hu man history, was made possible by the fact that FOR A THOUS AND YEARS, immune from in vasion by reason of the surround ing seas, THE CRETANS RE MAINED AT PEACE. Isolationism was a wonderlul thing In the period of the world when it was possible. Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and Tlctnity: Fair through Friday. High Friday 90; low Thursday night 52.

Know land of California, the Republican leader, said Thursday he will al low "a full dress debate" on pro posals that the Senate censure or investigate Sen. McCarthy (R Wis). It is to begin Friday and Knowland said it may also occupy Saturday and Monday sessions. Knowland also told reporters he had notning to do with a move by Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R-NJ) to push aside a motion of cen sure of McCarthy being pressed by Sen. Flanders (R-Vt). Smith proposed that Instead a committee of six senators, with Vice President Nixon acting as chairman be named to investigate and report next Feb. 1 on "the al leged good or evil of so-called McCarthyism." Knowland said: "It was his (Smith's! own idea. No party pol icy is involved in that." Smith Introduced a resolution for appointment of a committee of three Republicans and three Dem ocrats. He told the Senate he would seek to substitute it for the Fland ers censure resolution. Knowland's decision to permit a full debate meant he was abandon ing his previously announced plan for a quick motion to table the Flanders resolution. A motion to table is not debatable. Knowland said "I have no In tention of moving to table" the Flanders motion before Flanders can speak on It, and "I have no intention of letting Sen. Flanders air his views and then move to table." . The result, he said, should be "rather a full discussion." Knowland said the debate prob ably "will tie up the legislative program" but If that's what sen ators want, he will allow it. In the Senate earlier, Knowland had suggested that the Senate should meet early Friday because of the possibility of "several days of debate" on the Flanders resolu tion. Cordon Blasts Atom Proposal WASHINGTON 11 Sen. Cordon (R-Ore) has criticized as "another adventure in futility" a proposal to earmark proceeds from the sale of government-owned atomic en ergy for education. The proposal, offered by Sen. Fulbright (D-Ark), was defeated 56-25 during the course of the Sen ate's 13-day debate on the atomic bill. Cordon, in one of his infrequent Senate speeches, charged that the amendment was just "the old oil-for-education amendment applied to atomic energy." He said it did not provide for appropriation "of a red cent for education." "It provides for sequestration of funds but not for their appropria tion or use," he declared. Cordon said when sponsors of the amendment are ready to work out a bill "which provides for the payment of funds for education and that bill carries every safeguard known to the human mind against any control, actual or potential, by the federal government over the educational processes of the country, they can add my name to the sponsors." He asserted, however, there is only one way to aid education through the treasury "and that is to appropriate the funds directly.. , ." GOP To Name Candidate Ed G. Boehnke, state Republican chairman, has called a district meeting ef nominating committees, and other party officials, of five counties, Crook, Deschutes, Jeffer son, Klamath and Lake, at Bend, Friday, August 6 to name a candi date for the state Senate position left vacant by the resignation of Senator Phil Hitchcock, Klamath Falls. Lloyd Blakeley, Bend, is the ap pointed temporary chairman for the meeting. The meeting will convene at 1:30 p.m. at the Pilot Butte Inn. The candidate named will oppose Democrat Harry Boivin, Klamath Falls, in the fall election. Hitchcock resigned to Join the Lewis and Clark College staff at Portland. Members of the KlK.nath County Nominating Committee are George Proctor, chairman, Elizabeth Sise more, Ruth King, Norman Wilson, all of Klamath Falls and Fred Rueck, Bonanza. Elmer Lemler, Merrill, is the newly elected chairman of the Klamath County Central Committee. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, Important Parts Of Ike's Program Still Not Passed WASHINGTON UB Sen. McCar ran (D-Nev) said today Atty. Gen. Brownell has injected politics into national security and that this ac counts in part for a lack of action on the administration's antisub versive bills. Most it not all of the other P Jor parts of the administratior gram, leaders of both agreed, seem likely U some form.

President Eisenhower yesterday urged passage of the anti-Communist measures before Congress ad journs, listing them along with farm, tax revision, social security, foreign aid and housing measures Adjournment Move Blocked WASHINGTON Wl The House Thursday defeated a resolution calling for final adjournment of Congress on Saturday. The action left the way open for House consideration Aug. 9 of a bill to raise the pay of postal workers. The roll call vote against the resolution was 193-183, with Dem ocrats almost solidly opposing it. Republican Leader Halleck of Indiana offered the resolution, with the general understanding that the Senate, not yet ready to quit, would change the date to Aug. 7 or later. The House is all but ready to adjourn. It expects to finish its normal business Friday and start a series of recesses next week while waiting for the Senate. Tin July 31 date was defeated after assistant Democratic leader McCormack.of Massachusetts ex- plained that It might foreclose ac tion on the postal pay bill. Sen. Carlson (R-Kan) told news men he still believes there is good chance for action on a pay raise for half a million postal workers and a million and a half civil service employes. Carlson heads the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee which last week approved a 6 per cent boost for both groups. Farm Tour Experts Oregon CORVALLIS Wl The first of two farm specialist groups from Turkey now is in Oregon observing large-scale operations. Four managers of Turkish gov ernment farms used for develop ment of crop varieties and live stock breeds of special adaptabil ity will be here through Aug. 7. Their stops include farms in the counties of Baker, Deschutes, Sher man, Umatilla and Jefferson in quest of wheat, livestock, veget able and seed production informa tion. The second group arrives Aug. 2 for three weeks and will spend the first week here at Oregon State College. It is made up of 16 men especially interested in livestock production. Nearly all are veterin ary college graduates. They will take field trips to farms in Jose phine, Klamath, Lake, Harney, Gilliam, Grant, Jackson, Douglas and Wheeler counties.

CONFERENCE The President told his news con ference ' ' would be more than bitter' 'ppolnted if Congress ad' 'hout passing them. ' 'y, a housing bill A the things he jj -ared Congress. ffr ..lowland (R-Calif) and P ,a (R-Mlch) today predlct assage within the next few .ays of most of the other bills Eisenhower listed. Knowland, the senate Republican leader, said this program is "moving along fast." Ferguson, head of the GOP Policy Committee, predicted its completion and adjournment of Congress by Aug. 7. The President said also that an Increase in the 275-billion-dollar debt limit Is a necessity. The House passed a 15-billion-dollar bike last year but the Senate balked, and Sen. Byrd (D-Va) and others still oppose any Increase. CONFIDENT Ferguson said he is confident that a measure bearing "a rea sonable facsimile" to the Presi dent's flexible farm price support program will pass in the final days of the session. Knowland said that in addition to the bills named by the Presi dent he thinks Congress will pass some other important legislation. One the President did not name in listing those still in front of the Senate, as he phrased it, is the bill to revise the atomic en ergy law. It passed the House Mon day and the Senate Tuesday night after a two-week tussle which the White House termed a filibuster by opponents. Yesterday the House sent it to conference to resolve major differences in the two ver sions. Except for some of the antisub versive bills, none the President listed still remains to pass the House. Leaders there say they could could adjourn Saturday, as originally planned, if the Senate were caught up. Strike Fights Break Out RED BLUFF, Calif. Wl Dyna miting of a pipeline and fist fights brought sheriff's deputies Thurs day to the town of Manton to pre vent further lumber strike, vio lence. The penstock of the pipeline leading to the lumber mill at Man ton, 30 miles northeast of Red Bluff, was dynamited late Wednes day. No one was Injured. Lorln For ward, co-owner of the Manton lumber mill, estimated damage at .$1,000 and said he had to shut the plant down because of dynamiting cut off the water supply.

S. naval striking power will re main in Southeast Asia waters for some time despite abandonment of the search for survivors of the British airliner shot down by Chi nese Red fighters last week. 1 Three of the four fleet aircraft carriers west of Hawaii are now in the South' China Sea area and will remain there, the Navy says, to continue their training exercises and be ready for any new eventual ity. REPORTS Planes from two of the big ships, the Philippine Sea and Hornet, were reported Wednesday night. to have completed their search for survivors or wreckage of the Com munist attack on, an unarmed Brit ish airliner off Red-held Hainan last week. Carrier-based planes shot down two Red Chinese planes which interfered. A third carrier, the Tarawa, is now in Sublc Bay, the U. S. Navy base north of Man ila in the Philippines. A shift of naval strength from the Japan-Korea area to waters near Indochina had started in April. The Navy said then some ships had been diverted from the 7th Fleet In Northwest Pacific wa ters to the south for "fair weather" training exercises. That was in the period when policy makers were considering whether to go to the aid of the French in Indochina. AIR INCIDENTS It was only after the British air liner incident that the Navy dis closed that the ships were under Adm. W. A. Phillips, commander of the! 1st Fleet with headquarters at San Diego, Calif. Phillips, the Pentagon also disclosed, has been operating under direct orders from Washington, . The assembling of three carriers m the comparatively narrow seas between the Philippine Islands and the mainland coat' of' -Southeast Asia left only one carrier, the Boxer, In the 7th Fleet in Japan. Ike Signs KF Jet Base Bill Mayor Paul Landry this morn ing described President Elsen hower's signing of a bill authoriz ing (837,000,000 worth of military construction through the nation as "a step closer in the actual re activation of the Klamath Munici pal Airport as a Jet interceptor base." The president's authorization In cludes the local project and an air base construction project at Portland. Congress, so far, has not ap propriated the necessary funds to do the work. The senate appropriations com mittee has recommended approp riations of the necessary money ($4,127.00) for tmmedlete con struction. Work will start as soon as funds are actually appropriated.

Conservative Over British LONDON VP) A serious Con servative party rift over Britain's Suez Canal Zone pact with Egypt handed the Laborite opposition a tempting chance today to force the resignation of Prime Minister Churchill. It was doubtful the So cialists would seize the chance. The test comes In a House of Commons vote tonight on Church ill's motion demanding Parlia ment's approval of the agreement to pull Britain's 83,000 troops out of the strategic VJanai z-one. Fire Brings Out Rattlers GRANTS PASS Wl' A 200-acre forest and brushland fire was brought under control here Wed nesday night, but Just as four fire fighters thought the excitement was over they found out It was Just beginning. The same fire that had taken them to the top of a hill had also driven a host of rattlesnakes up there. It was dark by that time and the four didn't know which way to step without landing on a rattler. So they didn't step at all. They stood still for an hour. They said they were prepared to stand there all night, but fortunately tney naa a walkie-talkie with them. They radioed for help, and eventually another firefighter came up with lights and led them down to safety. The four were Bill Pope, a fire warden, and three youths, Chuck Dnllas, John Eyers and Glendell Wardlaw, all of Grants Pass. The fire started near railroad tracks 1 Vi miles west of Grants Pass, and for a time threatened the homes of Mrs. E. M. Radcliffe and Mr. and Mrs. George Ander son, The homes were saved and the fire controlled about 9 p.m. The railroad tracks were dam aged, however, and a section crew had to replace some rails. Party Angry Suez Treaty A group of 40 rebellious Con servatives, angered at seeing an other bit of Britain's dwindling em pire crumble away, have served notice they will vote against the government, MAJORITY With only a nominal Conserva tive majority of 20 votes In the 625-member House, Churchill thus was in the uncomfortable position of having to depend on his Socialist opponents for the support neces sary to put his policy across. The ticklish situation in Com mons was one of several troubles currently plaguing the old warrior who has yet shown no Inclination to heed the urging of his wife and doctors that he retire. In the House of Lords there was an almost unprecedented scene last night as Lord Reading, min ister or state for foreign affairs, set forth the government's position in support or the Sues agreement. Angered peers, who normally sup port the government, complained they had no time to study the pact. They became silent only after the house leader. Lord Salisbury, one of Churchill's closest advisers, withdrew the request, HARASSED Churchill was harassed also by a Cabinet shakeup following the resignation of two of his Cabinet ministers. A third also announced he had submitted his resignation, oui mere was no indication wneth- er It would be accepted. ADroad, Greece served notice she would bring her demand for Cyprus before the United Nations despite Britain's decision to grant the colony a constitution that would advance It nearer to self-rule. The Churchill government served no tice yesterday Britain plans to hold on to the fortress Island In the Mediterranean, to which she pinna to shift troops from the Suez. Laborite members of Commons were thoroughly enjoying the Con servatives' dilemma but they kept their plans to themselves. SOCIALISTS Most observers thought the So cialists could not vote Churchill out on tho Suez Issue without compro mising their own principles. The official policy of the Labor party has long been In favor of pulling British troops out of the Canal Zone. Themselves badly split between the moderate followers of former Prime Minister Clement Attlee and the leftist rebels led by Aneurin Bevan, the Laborltes also would run the risk of a sound trouncing In the general election which would follow a government Ian. Attlee was reported to have ad vised his colleagues they could not conscientiously reluse Churchill vole of confidence. Grass Fire Burns Hill A grass fire that started about 2 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, blackened the hill above Pacific Terrace. Fanned by a stiff breeze and creating a draft of Ita own, the blaze went from the bottom to Die top of the hill in a matter of minutes. Before lire trucks could tra verse the steep grade with tanks of water, the fire Jumped the road atop the hill and started down the eastern slope. Two trucks from the city, two from OTI, two from KFPA and one from Klamath County helped bring the blaze under control. An estimated 100 acres was burned over with no damage re sulting except a few lence posts that were burned along the top of the hill. Reds Refuse To Act On State Note WASHINGTON Wl Red Chtaa has rejected by refusing even to consider twin United States protests against Communist fight er attacks on British and Ameri can planes off Hainan Island. The State Department announced Thursday that official word of the Red rebuff has been received from the British government which acted as intermediary. The department asserted: "The situation will not be per mitted to rest there." Press Officer Henry Suydam, who made the statement for the department, did not disclose what further steps may be contem plated. Suydam said Ambassador Wtnth rop Aldrich at London reported he was informed at the British Foreign Office that the American protest had not been accepted, NOTES RETURNED The Chinese Foreign Office even returned the protest notes, in this case designated as "aide-memoires", to the British. The Chinese Communists took the position that the affair of the British plane was a matter of proper concern for the British gov ernment, but that the attack on the American carrier aircraft was just what they had claimed in press statements the result of a "viola tion" of Chinese territory. A British airliner was shot down July 23 and three American cltl tens were lost. On July 26 two U.S. carrier planes searching the areas for survivors were attacked by two Chinese Communist air craft. The Americans returned the fire and shot down the Red planes. U.S. REQUEST The State Department an nounced Tuesday that the United states had asked the British gov ernment to make vigorous protest against the "barbarous and law less assault" on the American search -planes. The department said the Incidents occurred over international waters not Chinese territory. Suydam said that this is what happened on the American pro test: - Humphrey Trevelyan, the rank Ing British diplomat at Felping, acting on Instructions from Lon don, presented it to Chang Han Fu, vice minister of foreign ' at fairs In the Communist regime. .. RED REFUSAL The Communist official promptly told Trevelyan that he could not accept the protest. "The reason for his position," Suydam said, "was that the shoot ing down of the civilian aircraft was a matter between the Chinese and British governments and none of our -concern despite the fact that three American lives were lost In this assault, "On the later Incident, the Chi nese read to the British charge d'affaires (Trevelyan) and handed to him, versions of the attack on the two carrier planes which had been contained in press statement and broadcast on Felping radio." Senate Votes Against China voted fll-0 Thursday to oppose the entry of Communist China to the United Nations. The chamber wrote into the 13, 100,000,000 foreign authorization bill an amendment calling on the President to outline to Congress foreign policy moves that might follow admission of the Pelptng regime to the International organ ization over American opposition. The action came after senators had defeated, 67-33, an amendment oy Ben. uapenari (K-ina w re quire that 750 million dollars of the new foreign aid funds be In the form of loans rather than grants. i Sen. Knowland (Calif), the GOP leader, then called up the anti- Red China proposal, reiterating the stands Congress previously had taken against U.N. member- snip for the Communists. Sheriff Warns KF Merchants Klamath County merchants were warned by the sheriff's office Thursday to beware of "grab and run" safe robbers who have made off with four strong boxes in the past month. Deputy Sheriff Dal Reed said I theft of safes has become big bus iness in Oregon In recent months. Ho urged operators of business establishments not to have their safes in a conspicuous place where they can be easily seen from the street. A prominently displayed safe Is an Invitation for thieves to cart i. away," Reed said. "There is no question but what organized gangs that specialize in the theft of sales are working in Oregon." Business establishments which have lost safes in Klamath County are Jonesey's Tavern, Dairy: Wo cus Tavern, Wocus: Sycan Store, Bly, and the Claude H, Davis Floor Coverings & Window Shade House, Klamath Falls. None of the safes have been recovered. The four strongboxes contained appro) lmately 3000,
