A Also Let us add By January the ELECTION WILL HAVE BEEN HELD AND THE VOTES WILL ALL HAVE BEEN COUNTED. 60 much for the scaly side of our politics and heaven knows that in, election years our political practloes are apt to be scaly enough to turn the average stom ach. Let's turn now to a pleasant' er development. It develops this moraine that Adlat Stevenson has written a per sonal letter to Premier Mendes - Prance (of France to assure him that American policy in favor, of the EDC (European Defense Com. munity has full bi - partisan sup port. The letter was in longhand, . and was received several days ago in Paris. As Democratic leader, Stevenson wrote that EDO (along with the integrated Western European army that it includes) is regarded in the United States as ABOVE PARTISAN POLITICS, s Although I voted for President Eisenhower, I have always thought very highly indeed of Mr. Steven son. My regard for him is certain. ly not diminished by his bold and courageous and statesmanlike ac. tion in writing to Mendes - France, If we are to develop an Ameri. can foreign policy that will be sound and effective we must learn 1 the trick of divorcing ourselves from partisan politics in matters concerning our relations with the rest of the world. We must first work out a foreign policy that is based Upon maintaining the in teiests and GUARANTEEING THE SECURITY of the United States of America, and when such a policy is worked out and ngreed upon we must ALL stand back of it, regardless of our political af filiations. All history shouts that lesson in stentorian tones. Mr. Stpvpnsnn na the tM-hnlr-ol leader of the Democratic party, has taken a wise and patriotic step. My hat Is off to him. fspeaking or foreign policy, John Ridley, Far East correspondent of the London Dally Telegraph, re ports today frofff Peiplfig that communist China has asked Brit ish Labor party leaders (who are now touring red China) to AID IN A CAMPAIGN TO REVERSE AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY. Ridley says the request was put to former British prime minister Attlee- bv the communist Chinese leader Mao le-Tung. - His dispatch adds that Mao called for withdrawal of the U.S. 7th fleet from Formosa waters and for an end to American plans to rearm Germany and Japan. Watch It. It could be advance notice of an Intention on the part of the Brit ish Labor party leaders to tie up with Russia. They'd like to get back into power In Britain and that might be the road they will choose. At leasts Attlee's reaction to Mao's reported proposal will be Interesting.

Rain Covers Klamath Basin Rain that started falling In Klamath Falls early this morn ing was general throughout the basin with some snow mixed with rain in the higher elevations, ac cording to KFPA lookouts. Two inches of snow was reported on Mt. Scott. Hain started falling in the Tule- lake and Butte Valley districts shortly after midnight and fore stalled frosts predicted for those areas. - ' Harvesting; of barley, just get ting a good start, was shut down today and farmers are hoping the storm will be of short duration. Too much rainfall now could cause discoloration of malting bar ley, thereby killing the chances of selling it for a premium price. Potato growers are also dis turbed at the storm as potato fields in general have been kept well irrigated in an effort to pre vent frost damage during the re cent cold nights. Weather forecasts Indicate con tinued cloudy weather with a pos sibility of more rain.

Three passengers in the Lehti car were not identified. Frank Harry Helmer, a cook at the Wheel Cafe in Chemult, and driver of the second car, ducked as the wing took out his wind' shield.

HQ OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25. 1954 Telephone 8111 Adlai Letter Backed By Ike DENVER W President Eisen hower's headquarters said Wednes day he Is "delighted" over Adlal Stevenson's assertion that ratifica tion of the .European army project is very important and above parti san politics. Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic presidential nominee, expressed the view in a letter to French Premier Pierre Mendes-France James C. Hagerty, Elsenhower's press secretary, was asked by newsmen for comment on the Stevenson letter. "I would say," Hagerty replied, "that the President Is delighted to see Mr. Stevenson's statement to the Promier of France on EDC that he Joins with us In supporting the, American position on EDC. 'Of course, it is not a partisan Issue and never should be. "The position of our government has taken follows the President's belief that American foreign policy should always seek to strengthen cur ties with our allies and work for the enlightened self interest of the United States." On Monday night, the President said in a nationwide television radio address that Americans should not be too discouraged about the collapse of European army talks at Brussels. The talks broke down when the five other European nations which would pool military forces with France were unable to agree. Elsenhower said in his speech that he still was confident that something could be worked out.

IB A retired Air Force general told a Senate subcommittee here Wednesday that "we were required to lose" the Korean War. He was Lt. Oen. - George E. Stratemeyer, now living in nearby Winter Park after a heart attack In 1951. ' The Senate Internal security sub committee came here because of his physical condition and heard hiin in closed sessions Tuesday. Wednesday's session was open. stratemeyer told the committee that "State Department and polit ical Interference kept us from win ning the war." Oen. Mark Clark recently told the committee he, too, felt that military decisions had been over ridden by other considerations. Stratemeyer said that as head of the Far East Air Force under Gen. Douglas MecArthur "I wasn't permitted to do a job and certain ly McArthur was handcuffed. Nev er before In American history was a military commander placed In the position ot not being allowed to win." OPINION " He said that In his opinion it was not the fault of the Joint Chiefs of staff In Washington. When they visited Tokyo, he said, "they tried to explain the handicaps placed upon them and promised to do everything they could to give us what we bad to have to win. "We never had enough ground troops but we could have won with what we had on the ground and In the air If we had been allowed to use lt wisely from a military standpoint." Stratemeyer said his planes were forced to bomb bridges across -the Yalu River orossways Instead of lengthwise "so we would not violate the Manchurian and Si berian borders." BOMBING METHODS' Under questioning by Jay Sour wine, counsel for the Senate Ju diciary Committee and subcom mittee counsel Alva Carpenter as well as Sen. McCarran (D-Nev). Stratemeyer said "this method of bombing made it impossible to knock out the bridges although ens bridge was dropped into the river. "But then pontoon bridges built by the Chinese to replace the flat tened span had to he bombed the same way and only at the souths end so that the enemy was able to replace them overnight," ha said. "When MacArthur launched his attack to gain the Yalu River I had enough air strength to stop the Chinese and prevent their troops being supplied." He said If MacArthut hadn't launched his attack when he did "the Chinese hordes would have been able to organize and probably totally destroy the U.S. 8th Army. MacArthur's move was a master stroke." Union Steward Murder Victim CLEVELAND W A club-wielding killer dragged a 36-year-old union official from his automobile last night and beat him to death a few houses away from his home. The official was Raymond wlelr- ouch, a vice president of the CIO United Auto Workers Local 515 and the union's chief steward at the Iron Fireman Stoker Co.
