In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS The Iron curtain communists, failing to induce us to permit them lo break up the Western alliance, are holding a peace and security conference all by themselves in Moscow. , ( Foreign Minister Molotov pre sided at the opening session. You know. If the communists would hold a peace conference all by themselves and actually DO a lot of things like giving East Ger many back to the Germans and giving the Auslrians a peace treaty and getting Russian troops out of Austria and permitting the people of their satellite stooges to decide for themselves AT FREE AND SECRET ELECTIONS whether they want to remain a part of the communist setup or go it on their own as free and independent nations, they would make quite an impression on the world. (Alger Hiss, too, could make quite an impression if 'he would come out of Jail REPENTANT and devote the rest of his life to the undoing of what he did in those years when he was working with the communists AGAINST his own country.) The point is that DEEDS always speak more loudly than WORDS The teletype reTates this morning that the heavy rains which have drenched parts of Britain during the past five days are continuing toftoy, flooding roads and fields in 17 counties of England and Wales. Many farmers, the dispatch adds, are in despair, with the fields sc. saturated that they can neither harvest iheir crops nor sow their winter wheat in preparation for next year's crop. It would be interesting if the socialists in Britain would adopt a platform promising flatly that if returned to power they would do away with all (his bad weather and see to it that In the future there would be always just the right amount of sun and the right amount of rain and never a sur plus of either. They couldn't DELIVER IT. ol course, even if they PROMISED It and they know it. So they aren't going to tackle It. But at least It would be an Interesting illustration of the fundamental fact that prom- lse-everything politicians CAN'T DO EVERYTHING. When you come right down to ft, a politician or a political party can no more deliver SOMETHING FOR NOTHING to all his constit- uents than he can deliver weather that Is perfect for everybody. Unfortunately for us, we keep hoping the politicians CAN do it. Shucks! Let's get our heads out of the rosy clouds and get down to facts.

Death Penalty To Be Sought By LYLE DOWNING At the outset of the Leon Gale Pearson ilrst degree murder trial which opened here Monday before Circuit Judee Ralph M. Holman, District Attorney Frank Alderson announced he will ask the death penalty lor the Klamath Reserva tion Indian. Pearson is accused of slaying Gene Lricks, 29-year-old Klamaih Falls moulding company employe, on the Pat Jackson ranch at Chllo- quin Junction on August 7. The state charges Erlcks was shot in cold blood with a 30-30 ride. After Judge Holman read the in dictment lo 12 prosnective Jurors, Associate Defense Counsel Joseph O. Stearns opened interrogation of the veniremen. The lirst prospective Juror, a woman, was excused by the court when she said she was prejudiced against Indians. The second venireman In the box was under questioning by Attorney Stearns for 45 minutes before he was finally passed for cause. During his searching examination of Jury prospects Steams asked whether they ever had any deal ings with Indians. Other questions dealt with the veniremen's general attitude to ward Indians. One frequently u-tked question was: "Would you give the tame credence to the tes '.'.w7-' n , Mli a, s s ' ww;iwi'1 ducks en masse, can stop waiting and wondering. The ducks are on the lake. Proof positive comes from Don. Divens, pictured here in Howard Pernell's cruiser, the Hopalinda. Photos by Don Kettler U.S. Denies Red's Charge MOSCOW Wl The United States again today denied Soviet charges tniat American planes and ships had a hand in seizing the Russian tanker Tuapse last summer off China. A brief note delivered by a U. S. Embassy messenger answered a Russian note of last Aug. 4. The U. 8. reply stated that "careful In vestigation has shown that no American military aircraft op erating over the high seas of the Pacific in this area engaged in any hostile acts toward Soviet commercial vessels." It added: "The United Slates denies any violation of Internation al law as alleged by the Soviet note." For Pearson By Alderson timony of an Indian as you would to any other person's testimony?'' The veniremen also were ques tioned concerning their knowledge of firearms and were asked wheth er any members of the family were peace officers. Attorney George C. Rcinmiller. also of Portland, who Is associated with Stearns In the defense of Pearson, Indicated a plea ol self defense will be made. Before the trial opened. Judge I Holman In his chambers, over ruled a defense demurrer to the indictment against Pearson and a motion for dismissal of tho charge. The motion to dismiss was based on the contention that 30-ycar-old Pearson Is an Indian ward ol the government and the circuit court of Klamath county has no Juris diction In the case. This issue wab ruled on a year ago In the case of Gloria Wllma Berkley, an In dian woman, tried here for the murder of her mother on the res ervation. Circuit Judge David R. Vandenbcrg ruled his court had Jurisdiction.

In one-two positions among these steps were agreement on an Austrian state treaty and modi fication of Russia's position on holding free elections to reunify Germany. The other three poinU called for study, through diplomatic chan nels, of all questions relating to European security; a meeting of Soviet, British, French, and Amer ican foreign ministers after ratifi cation of the London-Paris agree ments, and perhaps a conference of "European and other Interest ed powers to consider the remain ing aspects of European security." The Western Big Three sent their identical rejections by messenger to Uie Soviet foreign office in Mos cow. TURN DOWN Tho notes were a formal turn down to Russia's Oct. 23 proposal for a four power foreign ministers meeting, and the Soviets' Nov. 13 proposal for a general East-West conference on creating a collective security system for Europe. Both these proposals, the U.S. reply said, were aimed at delaying or preventing ratification of the agreements reached by the West ern nations at meetings in London and Paris this fall. The text of the U.S. reply was made public by the State Department. American officials emphasized that close examination had failed to show anything new in the So viet proposal. The London-Paris agreement? would restore sovereignty to West Germany and rearm the new Ger man nation as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion. REQUIREMENTS In setting forth their require ments for an East-West meeting. the Western Big Three said nego tiations should have "a reasonable prospect of success." This, they said, requires a carefully prepared basis of agreement.

U.S. Plans NewH-Bomb Air Win; WASHINGTON IB America's new H-bomb striking force will consist of 11 wings of high-speed. long-range B52 jet bombers four more wings than previously an nounced. This force, Pentagon officials said today, will gradually replace during the next two or three years the present fleet of heavy strategic bombers the B36 powered with a combination piston-Jet plant. The cost of the program, based on estimates of the average cost of B623 when In full production, the cost of development of the first two prototype p!ane3, of tanker planes for refueling and of putting into operation a second source of production, may be about (4,300,000,000. Until this new Indication was made by Pentagon officials, who may not be Identified, the Air Force had admitted officially only that the program called for seven wings of B52s. A heavy bomber wing Includes some 30 planes plus supporting elements. The first B52s are scheduled for delivery to operating units next fall. One official said the Air Force is "bucking time," 'obviously re ferrlng to the reported rapid build up of Russia's air fleet. The BS2 Is being built at two plants of Boeing Airplane Co., Seattle and Wichita. It Is powered with eight J57 engines, each pro ducing about 10,000 pounds thrust. Maximum weight of the plane, ful ly loaded with fuel and bomb, Is about 30,000 . pounds, somewhat less than the B36. Secretary of Air Harold Talbott has said the present range of the B52 Is about 6,000 miles, with hope for extending that to 10,000. In-flight refueling from a tanker plane would extend thk greatly. Rain Storm Floods Hawaii HONOLULU m Torrential rains, punctuated by lightning and whipped by gale winds, drenched Honolulu Sunday night and forced the evacuation of portions of four Navy housing areas and the clos ing of a main highway. Police at nearby Pearl City said there was an unconfirmed report that an unidentified woman had drowned in a torrent of water cascading off the Koolau Mountain Range. - ' The U.S. Weather Bureau fore caster at Honolulu airport said it was the first real Konoa, a stormy southwest wind peculiar to the Hawaiian Islands, since 1951. In the space of seven hours the rainfall ranged from 8.(15 Inches at Lihue, coastal town on south eastern Kauai Island, to 5.6 inches at Barbers Point Naval Air Sta tion on Oahu Island. The rain was considerably heavier in the moun tains.' The 14th Naval District said 30 families were evacuated from the Barbers Point housing area and 14 from three naval housing units near Pearl Harbor.
