13 nsiiei ran LrLraLsi ' t : r- In The Dav's lews By FRANK JENKINS The distinguished, members of the august Senate of the United States of America are in a quan dry this morning. They can't decide whether It would be BETTER POLITICS in this election year of 1954 to FORCE A VOTE on a resolution censuring Senator McCarthy, thus compelling everybody to stand up and be counted for or against him, or to pass the buck by the time honored device of appointing a com mittee to study the situation and report next February taftcr the election is over.) It is an agonizing dilemma. No body knows FOR SURE whether more votes are to be gamed, by patting Senator McCarthy on 'the back or by batting his ears down. y' It's bad enough for the Repub lican senators, but it is EXCRU CIATING lor the Democrats. Mc Carthy is a Republican, and on general principles it would appear to be politically wiser to give him the works. 4 BUT The leftish organizations are rather obviously out for McCarthy's scalp. These leftish organizations have a pinkish cast and the Demo crats are gun-shy of appearing to tie up with the pinks. They can't forget that In the last election they suffered from the feeling on the part of the voters that they had permitted too many commies to worm their way into our govern ment. It's a rugged situation all the way around. '' Ho hum I Personally I wish the dis tinguished senators would quit counting and recounting the votes on the McCarthy issue and get back to their regular business including passing the appropriation bill to provide the money for the Klamath airbase which has . ai ready been authorized but can't get started until the actual money has been appropriated. Perhaps you're puzzled about this authorizations-bill and appro prlatlons-bill business. How does it work? Well, it's like this: Vour young son says to you: "Pop, can I go down to the store end get some, candy? You answer: "Why, certainly, eon. That will be quite all right.' That eases his mind, but it keeper won't shell out the candy until he lays the cash on the count er. So he says: "OK. Pop. but how about giving me the money?" If you don't come through with the money, you see, the deal is off. That's the way It is with the proposed Klamath airbase. Our nice old uncle has said to us that It is all right for an air base to be located in our midst, and that makes us feel better, be cause In these in-between days we can use the jobs that the building of the base will bring and in the days to come we can use the in creased business that the airbase personnel will provide. But we'll be easier in our minds when the old gentleman lays the money on the line just as your young son's mind Is eased when you hand him the moola to pay for the candy he' wants. ? Your young sou would be quite Impatient, I'm sure, if after hav ing AUTHORIZED his purchase of candy you got into a knock-down-and-drag-out argument over some; thing in which he was only aca demically Interested and tailed to make the necessary appropriation of cash. I hope that makes the matter clear to everybody. Air Search Called Off WIESBADEN, Germany lf A giant air-sea search for a U. S. bound airliner reported down in the North Sea with 72 persons was called off at the last minute today when word came the plane had landed safely in Iceland. A spokesman at U. 8. Air Force headquarters tabbed as a "false alarm" the report the big plane belonging to Transocean Airlines had "ditched" in the North Sea while en route from Frankfurt to the United States. An alert was flashed across Eu rope and Britain earlier today when Schevemngen Maritime Ra dio Station in the Netherlands broadcast the grim report the plane had gone out of radio con tact and "probably ditched" in the North Sea. Britain's air force was mobil ized for the search and cells went to all ships in the general area to be on the lookout. The tension subsided when Schiphol Airport at Amsterdam flashed word the plane had made radio contact with Iceland. A few minutes later the Schevenlngen station canceled its missing report and announced that the aircraft had arrived safely In Iceland.

US Coldness T;r By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON UV-South Korea President Syngman Rhee, undaunt ed by official coldness to bis ideas in Washington, carries to the coun try this weekend his appeal for a "great crusade" against Commu nist rule in 'China. A statement Jointly issued by Rhee and President Eisenhower last night made clear that the Ko rean leader had met with no en couragement during his talks here for his proposal for a militant campaign against Asia's Red rulers. It was reported unofficially, how ever, that Rhee got Elsenhower's assurance of American aid to build up South Korea's military Lumber Mills Offer To Begin Vork By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS One Oregon lumber mill reached settlement with its striking em ployes Saturday, and five others announced they-would try to re open Monday without offering a pay boost. The settlement was at the Neal Creek Lumber Co., 11 miles south of Hood River, where AFL em ployes won a provisional 7 Vi-cent, hourly pay increase. Dave Brown ing, one of the mill owners, said operations would resume Monday. The mill normally employs up wards of 80 men. Four Yamhill County mills an nounced plans to try to reoDen without a aay boost. The mill own ers .met in -Portland Friday, then announced they were sending let ters to 400 employes, Inviting them to return to work at the pay scale prevailing before the strike began June 21. At Corvallis the Corvallis Lum ber Co. also invited workers to return to the Job Monday without a pay Increase. The AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union at once announced pickets would be around the plant Monday. The four 'Yamhill mills the Gar rabrant Lumber and Investment Co., the Mccormick Lumber and Manufacturing Corp., the Murphy Lumber Co., and the Willamlna Lumber Co. are under contract with the CIO Woodworkers. Bert Keck, business agent of the Woodworkers' local 5-92, said there would be picket lines at each of the operations Monday. He said his union would hold a meeting at Willamlna Tuesday. These announcements came as the lumber strike ended its sixth week. Both the AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers and the CIO Woodworkers went on strike June 21 in demand for a 12 'i-cent hour ly Pay Increase. , The largest of the region's mills remain closed, but there have been a number of other settlements with the unions announcing they gained provisional increases ranging from 5 to 12 i cents. "JUST ONE MORE RIDE, CHIEF." is the plea of Jack Corlcery (right), first assistant fire chief who retires Sunday, August I, from 27 years of service with the fire department. With him at truck No. 5 is Fire Chief Roy Rowe. KLA.W forces to r -I the growing power of Communist forces in North Ko rea. A diplomatic informant, asking not to be named, said the planned buildup to be discussed in further detail in followup staff talks con tinuing in Washington would in volve boosting South Korea's re servo army force and giving her naval craft and Jet planes. JOINT STATEMENT By contrast, the joint statement of Rhee and Elsenhower was con cerned mainly with very general declarations of cooperation and friendship and a pledge "to move forward, " in accordance with the U. N. charier, to achieve Korean unification. The charter forbids the use of armed force to obtain a political objective. The meaning of the joint staten.snf in this respect seemed to be tint Rhee had agreed -that he would not deliberately start up the Korean war again to unify his country. . Rhee's congressional speech and his talk before the Overseas Writ ers here yesterday, however, left no doubt of his intent to rally all possible support for his conviction that it Asia is to be saved action must eventually be taken against Communist China. The joint statement brought to an end the week-long round of con ferences which Rhee and other South Korean . officials have held with President Eisenhower, Sec retary of State Dulles and other American leaders. The final talks were held at the State Department yesterday. RHEE'S VIEWS Rhee's own views had been bluntly set forth in his speech to Congress Wednesday calling for ac tion against Red China, and a fol lowup address to Washington news men In which he made his "great crusade" plea. The first step in such an under taking, he said, should be a firm American decision that in some manner communism must be driv en out of China. At the same time he asserted that his own military leaders have plans for taking over North Korea from the Reds. He said : that somehow, sometime, those plans will be carried out. . Rhee's schedule called for a, speech at Philadelphia before the Veterans of Foreign Wars Sunday night, following a flying visit to New York today and a brief return here to attend church services to morrow. Monday he will be in New York again and will speak at a banquet of the Korean-American Founda tion that night. He will visit Chic ago Wednesday, then fly to Los Angeles with a stop en route at Kansas City with former President Truman. He is due to speak in Los Angeles and San Francisco be fore leaving from the West Coast for Korea Aug. 8. MEETINGS Officials said privately 'hat the Rhee - Eisenhower meetings had been very useful in producing an understanding! on the part cf each man of the problems faced by the other in connection with the future of Korea and their common opposi tion to Asian communism. Jointly the two chiefs of state declared that, in view of the fail ure of the recent Geneva confer ence to produce a settlement with the Reds on Korean unification, they had "discussed means for continuing to seek this objective." S, OREGON, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1954 TWO SENATORS who have been critical of (he conduct of Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) get together and pat each other on the shoulders today: H. Alexander Smith (R-NJI, left, and Ralph Flanders IR-Vtl. Smith has proposed creation of a special committee to investigate "the alleged good or evil of so-called McCarthyism."

Albertson, 67, former Klamath Falls resident, died at Peninsula Hospital, Burlingame, California, about 3 a.m. today. He had suflered a heart attack Thurs day and a second one after mid night today. He came to Klamath Falls from New York state In 1911 and was associated with Pelican Bay Lum ber Company until 1914. After an absence of six years, he returned to Klamath Falls in. 1920 and re sumed his association with that company. i In 1948, he and E. C. Brande berry, who was then with Ivory Pine Company, Klamath Falls formed the A fc.B i Lumber Sales, Inc., and moved to San Francisco where the firm Is engaged in the wholesale lumber business at 525 Market Street. Word of Mr. Al bertson's death was telephoned this morning by Brandeberry. Survivors Include the widow Mrs. Louise V. Albertson, 2938-! Hillside, Burlingame. Crosby and Gray, Park Road Burlingame, are the morticians in charge of funeral arrangements. Final details and the date and hour of services are awaiting the expected arrival Sunday evening of Mrs. Albertson's brother, Mal colm Simpson, from New York, KF Fireman To Retire Bv PATI O'CONNOR After "more than 27'i years with the Klamath' Falls Fire Depart ment, Jack Corkery, first assis tant lire chief, is retiring, elec tive August 1. , Corkery has witnessed many developments in fire fighting since he became a fireman on January 19, 1927, snd even more develop ments in Klamath County since he first came here In 1911. A native of Celt. Missouri, Cork ery felt the lure of the West when he was 20. He went first to Okla homa, then Texas, working at what ever was available. In 1908 he traveled to Washington state, soon moved to Idaho and in 1911 he hit Macdoel. ' The following year Corkery went to work for the U.S. Reclamation Service. During hi3 12 years in the Klamath country with this gov ernment bureau, he helped in me rapid development of the present maze of canals which are the ir rigatlonal backbone of the county's agricultural Industry. Specific Jobs included running a canal from near the Olene Post Office to the flume; constructing Irrigation ditches in Poe Valley and enlarging reclamation ditches from Merrill to Malin. His familiarity with the Langcll Valley area was an asset when, from 1924 to 1926 he carried mail in Langell Valley and Bonanza. The following year he started to work as a fireman, and it has since become his life's work. The stories exchanged in the fire hall are many; perhaps one of the best was ihls true story: The era is prohioition days; the scene, a blazing nous?; the main character, Fireman Corkery. Dashing up the stairway, Cor kery was abruptly halted by an explosion and gallons of hot boot leg whiskey. The homemade still had blown up and Corkery, who had ascended the steps with his mouth open, got the full effect. For more than a month he was speechless, literally! A rough guess as to the num ber of fires Corkery has fought was estimated by Fire Chief Rowc at 8.100. This includes the Evans (Continued on Page Three) Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Fair through Sunday. High Sunday 90; Low Saturday night 53.

O'Brien remained calm and un emotional. Asked by Col. James W. Davis, Army prison command er, if he had anything to say, O'Brien replied In a firm voice: 'Not a thing at all." Then he wheeled with military precision and climbed the 13 steps to the gallows. O'Brien wore a regulation khaki uniform, stripped of all insignia. He was convicted by; an Army court-martial in Munich in June, 1952.

Mc Carthy R-Wls) Involved an at tack on the investigating powers of Congress. But Sen. Lehman tD-Llb-NY), accusing McCarthy of "number less outrages," said "History will honor us for a vote of censure and in my Judgment our constitu ents will too."

Acting with tho. authority of his cabinet, the premier told the Bey of Tunis that if he desired, a new government could be formed which, except tor defense and for eign affairs, would be empowered to negotiate with France the terms of the. new internal sovereignty. The statement was made to the Bey within two hours after Mendcs - France's surprise flight from Paris to outline the new pro posals approved by his cabinet Fri day. AUTQNOMV . "Tho internal autonomy of the state of Tunisia Is recognized and proclaimed without reserve by the French government," Mendes France told the Bey in a formal statement. "The high quality of the Tunisian leaders Justifies that the people should be called upon to direct their own affairs." Mendes-France told U.e Bey French colonists have every Tight to remain In Tunis. He said: The French, in exchange for their past and present services, for the role that they can and ought to play In the future, have acquired the right to live and work in Tunisia, the right which nobody would dream of denying thein. . . ." In Paris, a spokesman for the French Foreign Otfico explained that the frumework of the new government which must be set up would be outlined lator.

FROM DIAMOND LAKE JUNCTION to shop in Klamath ralls today are Mrs. Grant Dulley and daughter, Charlotte, 5, ,- to suppress terrorists who have been disrupting the life of the pro tectorate for several years. Heretofore the Bey has had wide authority to issue decrees and reg ulations because in theory he is supreme sovereign. In practice, however, none of his decrees could become effective except when an- proved by a secretary general in his government who was always a Frenchman. "The old Idea of co-sovereignty is abandoned," a French spokes man said. Four important cabinet posts, finance, interior, economlo and public instruction, once held by Frenchmen, are expected to re vert to Tunisians. Doctor Says 'Not Guilty' Of Slaying BAY VILLAGE, Ohio UH : Maintaining his innocence and complaining that his arrest was unjust, Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard was Jailed last night on a warrant charging him with the murder of his wife. , After pleading innocent in Town Hall, the tall, 30-year-old osteopath was led in handcuffs to his cell. "I didn't think it could happen in this country," he remarked about his arrest. Mrs. Marilyn Sheppard, an at tractive, 31-ycar-old expectant mo ther, was found In her blood soaked bed the morning of July 4, her face and skull bashed in by 27 savage blows. Since then, Cleveland police oiiiciany invited into the case only last week had urged the arrest of her husband, a well known fig ure Doth socially and professional ly in this swank lakefront suburb. Miss Susan Hayes, the pretty 24-year-old laboratory technician who formerly worked in the same Bay Village hospital as the doctor, was In- a downtown hotel today, watched over by a policewoman. - She Is a possible witness who voluntarily returned to Cleveland to tell investigators of her associ ation with the osteopath.
