In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
After what this morning's dis
patches refer to as an "unprece
dented" meeting of the National
Security Council held in Denver
yesterday (Sunday) Secretary of
States Dulles, wno has just re
turned from a trip to the Far East,
tells the reporters:
"We'll FIGHT if the reds attack
Formosa."
Why will we fight for Formosa?
Well, it's like tins:
In Formosa, we're In the posi
tion of the small boy who draws
. line in the dust with his toe
and tells his adversary not to
cross it. If his adversary takes
the dare and CROSSES the line,
the small boy HAS TO FIGHT or
lose the respect of all nis pais.
We're in the same position as
to Formosa. When we went to war
in Korea, President Truman threw
the U.S. fleet between Formosa
and the Chinese mainland with or-
' ders to FIGHT auacKea.
Those orders still stand,
If the reds attack Formosa and
we FAIL to fight, they will Inter
pret It as proof that we won't fight
under any circumstances.
Once the reds become convinced
that we won't fight we'll either
HAVE TO FIGHT to disabuse
them of that notion or we'll have
to retire to our hole and pull the
hole in after us.
That's about the long and the
snort of it.
Let's add ft word here about the
National Security Council.
It Is our highest administrative
policy-making body on the all-im
portant subject of the security of
our nation. It is composed of the
President of the United States,
who acts as its chairman, the vice-
president of the United States, the
U.S secretary of state, the U.S.
secretary of defense, the U.S. di
rector for mutual security and the
chairman of the U.S. national se
curity resources board.
Other than the congress, it is our
court of last resorl as to what
shall be done to preserve our na
tional honor and our national
safety.
Bo
When the Question of what we
will do if the reds attack Formosa
is referred to the National Secur
ity Council we must take it for
granted that there is a grave pos
sibility that the reds WILL attack
Ana
When the secretary of state of
the United States says 'after a
meeting with the National Secur
ity Council that if the reds attack
Formosa we will FIGHT we must
assume that we are facing the
showdown.
If the reds want war, there will
be war.
That is about it.

me, were the words of Mrs.
Prank Applegate. Medford. In a

KLAMATH
Genera Zwicker Examined By McCarthy
Lawyer; Can't Remember Cursing Solon
WASHINGTON (fl Brig. Oen.
Ralph W. Zwicker swore Monday
he told only the truth and had
no idea of being arrogant at a
hearing before Sen. McCarthy last
Feb. 18. And he said he couldn't
remember muttering that McCar
thy was an "S. O. B."
But McCarthy's attorney, dur
ing cross-examination, contended
that Zwicker's testimony Monday
was "inconsistent" with his testi
mony last February. McCarthy
testified last week that the gen
eral at least "mlstated the facts"
last February. .
These new conflicts went into
the record as the special Senate
committee considering censure
charges against McCarthy moved
through perhaps the last day of
it hearings.
One of the charges against Mc
Carthy is that he abused Zwicker,
a World War XI hero, in question
ing him last February 18 about
the honorable discharge given
MaJ. Irving Peress, an Army den
tist. McCarthy calls Peress
"fifth amendment Communist."
Zwicker testified Monday that
at the time of the Feb. 18 hear
ing, he knew Peress had failed
to give testimony before the Mc
Carthy subcommittee and had
claimed the fifth amendment
against self-incrimination.
McCarthy's attorney, Edward
Bennett Williams, said this was
inconsistent with the answer given
by Zwicker Feb. 18 when McCar
thy had asked: "And you knew

medical supplies for the five sur
vivors of a plane which crashed
Sunday with the loss of 10 lives.
Air Force officials - here Identi
fied the plane which crashed and
burned as an Air Force, four en

about a half mile from Th u 1 e
Base, 900 miles south of the North

cy landing.
Maj. Huly Bray of the Atlantic
division Military Transport Serv
ice reported 10 of the 15 persons
aboard were killed: Their names
were withheld pending notification
of next of kin.
Bray said the plane had left
Westover a few days ago and was
on a regularly scheduled flight out
of Thule when its commander de
clared a "state of emergency" 12
minutes after becoming airborne.
Bray said It was the first fatal
accident in more than 4,000 flights
made by the Atlantic division
MATS to Thule since the north
country airlift started in 1951.
More than 35,000 passengers and
55 million pounds of supplies have
been transported.

generally that he (Peress) had re
fused to tell whether he was a
Communist, did you not?"
Zwicker's reply at the New
York hearing was: "I don't re
call whether he refused to tell
whether he was a Communist."
Zwicker said Monday he did not
feel this was Inconsistent. He said
he had known in February that
Peress had-' refused to answer
some McCarthy questions, but
that he had no knowledge of any
of the specific questions.
In quick succession, the tall,
erect general told the special cen
sure committee:
1. He has searched his memory
carefully and has no recollection
of muttering at the February
hearing In New York that McCar

last Friday that he considered
Zwicker "one of the most evasive,

Mills Resume
Operations
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Most Pacific Northwest lumber
mills idled by a strike which began
12 weeks ago, were back at work
or nearly ready to resume work1
Monday.
Representatives of employers and
CIO Woodworkers signed a back-to-work
agreement in Portland
Saturday which, virtually ended
the strike that was begun June 21
by the CIO union and AFL Lumber
and Sawmill Workers to back up
demands for a 12 -cent hourly
pay increase.
Gov. Paul Patterson of Oregon
along with Gov. Arthur Langlle of
Washington proposed the agree
ment. It calls for the unions to
return to work while a seven-man
committee investigates the Issues
of the strike.
A. F. Hartung. president of the
Woodworkers, signed for the union
and Hillman Lueddeman. repre
senting the employers, signed for
management.
The agreement Is similar to one
reached earlier by employers and
tne Ar i union.
Some opposition to the agree
ment from both management Mid
labor has been reported.
Union dissent centered in Western
Washington where some AFL and
CIO workers have refused to
accept the plan. Along the Southern
Oregon Coast some union locals
were attempting to reach separate
agreements with, employers.
Management opposition was
centered in the pine region of
Central Oregon. A. J. Glasgow,
general manager of the Brooks-
Scanlon Lumber Co. at Bend, said
his firm would not accept the
agreement because the firm
objected to a third-party deter
mination of Industrial disputes and

DENVER W President Eisen
hower said Monday the National
security Council has reaffirmed
American policy of defending "the
vital interests of the U.S. wher
ever they may arise."
The President made the state
ment to newsmen in discussing an
extraordinary session ot the Se
curity Council at the summer
White House Sunday.
The meeting was called by the
chief executive to discuss global
strategy for dealing with the Red
threat abroad.
After the session. Secretary of
State Dulles declared that Ameri
can military might will thwart any
Chinese Communist assault
agatnsb Nationalist Formosa.
But the secretary kept the Com
munists guessing as to whether
the United States will go to the
defense of the Chinese Nationalist
island of Queraoy, which has been
under shell fire from the Red
mainland.
STATEMENT
In his formal statement to news
men, Elsenhower said that at the
top-secret council meeting "no
specifio decisions were advanced
for action." Dulles hinted in ad
vance of the meeting Sunday that
the council might chart some spe
cific policy with respect to Que
moy as related to overall defense
of Formosa by the U. S,. Seventh ,
Fleet in the event of a Red as
sault on that Chinese Nationalist
bastion.
Elsenhower said Monday that
the meeting amounted to "merely
consulting together as to the place
of the United States in the world
today in that particular area
that troubled area of the Western
Pacific and reaffirming our de
votion to certain policies. "
He added:
"These are. of course, to defend
the vital interests of the U. 8.
wherever they may arise, to make
Better partners of old friends, and
to get new friends wherever we
can.
VITAL INTERESTS
"And of course, where our vital
Interests demand it, to support
them in their security and in their
own interests."
The President said Sunday's se
curity council meeting the first
ever held outside Of Washington
"was unprecedented, but it was
also very natural."
He went on to say that he had
not met with the council for more
than two weeks, and that Dulles'
return from the Orient provided
an opportunity for the council to
review the situation in the Far
East.
' We met in order that all of us
together could have the benefit of
his observations and the details
of his report," Elsenhower de
clared, ,
