West German Chancellor Faces New Socialist Block KIEL, Germany im A political riptide menaced Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his pro-American for eign policy today as Ills socialist foes merged as the strongest par ty in a key state election. Although the coalition headed by Adenauer's Christian Democratic Union appeared sure of holding con trol of the government Jn the So viet Zone frontier state of Schles. wlg-Holsteln, the Socialists' 12,000 vote lead Jn yesterday's balloting was seen as a clearcut exposure of the old leader's suddenly dwind ling popularity. The rural state called the "poor house of the Bonn Republic" re buffed the 78-year-old Chancellor's plea for a vote of confidence In electing its new Lantag (State Parliament). Campaigning for overtures to Russia to unify East and West Germany, the Socialists outscored the Christian Democrats in the same state that accorded the CDU a 2-1 margin over its arch rival last year when Adenauer was re elected Chancellor. In today's final count, the CDU trailed the Socialists 384,870 to J96.708. The CDU's vote was cut almost In half from its 1953 peak of 637,570 In Schleswlg-Holsteln. The Socialists picked up 38,269 votes over last year's total of 387,798. Adenauer fought to save his in ternational prestige with a speech in this slate Friday In which he described NATO membership and unconditional German sovereignty as his new goals. But as he tnlked with British For eljjn Secretary Anthony Eden in Bonn yesterday on finding some way of rearming West Germany despite the French scuttling of the European Defense Community, the Dunsmuir Girl Wins Trip WEED Beverly Miller, Duns muir, won the title 'of queen at the Weed Italian Carnival, held last week, and left Medford via United Airlines for Hollywood Thursday, September 9, as her winning prize awarded by the Weed Chamber ol Commerce, sponsors of the Carnival. While In Hollywood, accompan ied by her mother, she will tour CBS Television city and MOM stu dios, in addition many tours have been planned lor her. Spike Berber, Klamath Falls won the 18 hole golf tourney wlUi a low net of 7a. The Long-Bell sawmill team won the tug of war contest and the Gazelle girls won over the Weed Red Devils girl team. Tom Maszlnnl. 18, Weed, was top man in the horse allow winning p.0lt5 ln 50 scheduled events. The horse show wns wilder the auspices of the Gazelle Horsemen. voters of this state showed their mounting discontent. The Socialists elected 20 Land tag candidates to the CDU's 19 ln direct contests. But a complicated system allotlng 40 per cent of the Parliament s 69 seats on a propor tlonal basis gave the rival parties a final total of 25 scats each. The Refugee party won 10 seats, the Free Democrats 5, and the remaining 4 went to the SHB bloc formed by the German party and the Schleswlg-Holsteln community. CDU Minister President Fried- rich Wllhelm Luebke, whose forces have run the state since 1950 in partnership with the Refugee par ty, said today he would also in vite the Free Democrats to Join in a new government under his command. The Free Democrats al ready are Adenauer's partners ln tlie national coalition government. Luebke blamed the CDU's loss of strength on the French National Assembly's rejection two weeks ago of the European Army treaty, which Adenauer had promised would restore West Germany's sov ereignty and rearm it as a partner ln Western defense. Until the final seat distribution was announced. Socialist spokes men Indicated they had hoped to form their own coalition government In Schleswlg-Holsteln. With both the Refugee party and the Free Democrats ln its coali tion, the CDU would muster 404 of the 69 seats, compared to the Socialists' 25. Adenauer's four-party national coalition includes the Refugee par ty, the Free Democrots and the German party. The national coali tion Is seriously strained by the CDU's reverse here. The Free Democrats want Adenauer to re linquish the Foreign Ministry job he holds ln addition to his chancel lorship and let someone else take the Job. Political observers predict Uie na tional coalition will collapse If the Socialist trend continues strong ln state elections In Bavaria, Hesse and Lower Saxony later this year. Ul'AL ROI.K In the dual role of Chancellor and foreign minister he assumed five years ago, Adenauer has j queued several coaimon mutinies before now. But on those occasions he ranked high in public favor. West German Socialist leader Erich Ollenhauer today called the Schleswlg-Holsteln balloting a dir ect mandate for his party to fight for German unification ahead of rearmament. The Socialists agree Uiat France bolstered their cause by showing plainly that she would not treat the Bonn republic as an ally without discrimination. Reds Sentence U.S. Prisoner TOKYO m Hugh Francis Kcdmona, a former New York bus iness man, has been sentenced in Shanghai to life imprisonment as a spy by the Chinese Reds, Pelping Radio announced yesterday. The broadcast, heard here, said Redmond and five other men and two women sentenced with him en tered the U.S. espionage service before the defeat of the Chinese Nationalists by the Reds four years ago. Two of the seven others, all of wnom nave Chinese names, were sentenced to death. Redmond, arrested April 1951, at Shanghai, Is believed to have helped several Chinese bus inessmen get out of Shanghai. At Yonkcrs, N.Y., his mother. Mrs. Ruth Redmond, said he went to China for the Hennlgsen Bros. Import-export firm of New York. She was "terribly shocked by the news." Ad Id's Son' To Be Married LOUISVILLE, Ky. W) Adlai Stevenson Sr. stepped into the middle of a gay swing of social festifivltles today, celebrating the coming event that will make him a father-in-law. The former Illinois governor and 1952 Democratic nominee for pres ident flew to Louisville yesterday to Join in a celebration of the an nouncement of the engagement of Nancy Lewis Anderson to his eldest son, Adlat Jr. The pretty Miss Anderson had a kiss waiting when her future father-in-law stepped from the plane. Adlal Jr. and Miss Anderson met here in June, 1953, when he was a second lieutenant In the Marine Corps stationed at Fort Knox. Maine Vote Vatched By Politicians PORTLAND, Maine, Ifl Hurricane-battered Maine ballots today In an election watched na tionally for possible influences on the make-up of the next-Congress. At stake, ln Republican eyes, is continuation of 20 years' control of all top offices in Maine, and a chance to point the way to GOP victories ln the 47 states voting in November. Democrats insist the issue Isn't the election's effects elsewhere but "what's best for Maine.' Th ey've called for an end to "20 years of one-party government." I Generally fair weather was fore cast, but hurricane Edna, which raked the states most populous areas Saturday, is expected to cut the total vote. In 1950, the last "off year," 240,127 ballots were cast. The polls must close by 7 p.m., EST, although vote-counting can start at 5 p.m., ln communities with fewer than 300 people. A smaller vote may benefit Dem ocrats whose most spirited cam paign m 20 years has been con centrated against relectlon of Re publican Gov. Burton M. Cross. The Democratic candidate is Na- Ike Reported Advised On Defense Of Quemoy Island WASHINGTON M President Eisenhower presumably has been advised by the military that they are confident Quemoy Island could be defended from any Red inva sion attempt with U.S. sea and air power alone If there is a politi cal decision for such Intervention. Military officials attending the unusual Sunday session of the Na tional Security Council are re ported to believe that any move by Red Chinese forces to land on Quemoy, hard by the Asiatic mainland, could be repelled with out any help from American ground forces. Secretary of State Dulles. Just back from the Far East, told news men at Denver yesterday that the defense of Quemoy is related to the defense of Formosa and is be ing "studied in that light." Stopping at Denver to report to President Eisenhower and the Na tional Security Council, Dulles said It is primarily up to the na tion's military chiefs to decide and recommend whether effective pro tection of Formosa requires U.S. defense of Quemoy. DECISION If a decision should be made to defend Quemoy, Pentagon strat egists would rely on the guniire and planes of the big 7th Fleet and the fighters and fighter-bomb ers of the Air Force. The objective would be to crush the transportation and air and ground support of a Red invasion fleet before it could reach the shores of the Nationalist-held is lands, not to attempt to match the Robbers Of Deaf Mute Captured . PHILADELPHIA UH A deaf mute was robbed as he dozed on a mldclty subway station platform yesterday. The deaf mute, Frank Mollnaro, 37, was awakened by two men go ing through his pockets. He chased tlie men, who Jumped to the tracks and fled through tho tunnel. Mollnaro scribbled on a piece of poper: "I've been robbed. Call for police," and handed it to a cashier. By the time police arrived, Mol lnaro had jotted down on a pad details of the robbery and a de scription of the two men. r Police picked up two men. iden tified as John P. Johnson. 34. and Leonard Lecato .22, both of Phil- adelphla. The two were ordered held ln $800 bail each for the grand Jury on charges of larceny and conspiracy. Coming Soon!

MAIN Strvinq the Klamath Basin for over 30 Years Communist troop manpower Ip in vasion beach battle. The United States learned ln Korea of the vast and costly commitment of ground force needed to fight Bed China's hordes of . infantry. However, some of the other dis advantages of the Korean cam paign might attend any action for the defense of Quemoy if the deci sion were made to confine it solely to offensive fighting. KOREAN WAR Under the ground rules for the Korean War, no bombing of Red Air bases in China was permitted. Thus, the dangerously powerful Red air fleet of jet fighters had to be dealt with only in the air above the battle zone. Application of the same rules in a campaign to defeat a Red inva sion attempt would impose the same problem for American Navy and Air Force fliers. They would have to rely on the ability to drive Red planes out of the sky while at the same time bombing and strafing Invasion craft. Presumably the confidence the President's military advisers are reported to have about the situa tion rests ln the fact that air bases satisfactory for the use of Ameri can jets are available on the big Island of Formosa. The 00-mile stretch of Formosa straight repre sents, from the jet pilot's point of view, an entirely satisfactory zone for climbing to combat altitude during the comparatively short run to the area of Quemoy. No Ameri can plans are now based on For mosa, but they can be flown there in quick time from big U.S. air concentrations on Japan, Okinawa and the Philippines. FORMOSA Secretary of the Air Force Tal bott commented yesterday the United States has the capacity to defend Formosa with air power available "not on Formosa, but Formosa is not far from our bas tion on Okinawa." Talbott, appearing on an NBC television program, said also he doubts that tlie Chinese National ists will have the power to defend Quemoy if the Chinese Reds use all the airpower they have.

Nel son a fourth and Mclntire his second. Vice President Nixon, while va cationing in Maine, called the elec tion "the first state-wide test of the Eisenhower administration's program." He called for "an even greater (GOP) majority than ever before." . Violinist To Be Heard Dave Rubinoff, famous violinist, will appear in concert at the Mills School auditorium, Friday, Sep tember 24. He will perform violin solos, the full scores of Chopin's Polonaise, tlie Warsaw Concerto and Rhapsody in Blue. Rubinoff knew George Gershwin and heard him perform the Rhap sody in Blue for the first time in 1924. Gershwin wrote the great jazz classic in a few weeks, but in transcribing it for the violin Rubin off spent months in perfecting the arrangement to his satisfaction. He was more fortunate in pre paring the soul-stirring Warsaw Concerto as the composer, Rich ard Addinsell, worked with him on the transcribed violin versibn. Crit ics say that Addinsell said after hearing Rubinoff play the con certo, that it was a new revelation in depth of feeling as only the violin could express it. Curtain time for the concert will be g p.m. Tickets may be bought from any member of the Klamath Falls Lions Club.
