Ir ' o)M JWL ii i In The i Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS The stock market, alter a mild sinking spell yesterday, opens still lower this morning and then stages a rally in which gains run to al most (ive points in the case ot the alrcrafto. ????T?f?? All I can say is that I hope the boom doesn't come back in a big way that Instead we Just con tinue for a long, long time on a steadily rising plateau of national development and expansion. That beats booms, ' An important U.S. manufacturer John Jay Hopkins, chairman of the board of the Oeneral Dynamics Corporation -r proposes today what he calls an atomic Marshall . plan to finance atomic, power plants in underdeveloped nations throughout the world over the next 100 years. He says this could be done by diverting a very substantial part f of the present international aid we are providing from what in the past has been a give-away plan to what would be a REPAYMENT plan. That la to say: He is proposing that we switch from sentimental govern ment handouts of U.8. tax money to a hard-headed. Intelligent sys. tern of American INVESTMENT in needed facilities for PRODUC TION" wherever in the world there seems to be a good opportunity to make it pay. That we change from an Interna' fional Lady Bountiful to a capa ble, broad-minded investor who hopes and EXPECTS to get back every dollar he puts out, along with a reasonable return on bis money. Too hard-boiled, you say? Walt a minute. Suppose you are of a philaiv throDlc makeup and have accunv ulated enough of this world's goods to be able to HELP people wdo are not as well off as you are. Let's suppose further that in your neighborhood there are hall a dozen more or less promising people who NEED HELP. Suppose vou decide to trv an experiment. To three of the six you shell out money, with no strings attached, whenever they get In a hole and the going is hard. To the other three you lend money, with every possible safe- r sttar in- tha.wa.y-ef gotttpg your money back, in order tot enablo them to get Into business for them selves. To the three to whom you shell out money with pious disregard for what they do with it, you will be recklessly tolerant. When they run out of money, you will give them ' more. Vou will ask no embarrass ing questions as to how they spent it and whv they are In need again. You'll just COMB ACROSS when ever thev get in a pinch. Toward the other three, you will be strictly businesslike. You will insist on an accounting of all the funds you advance. You will give sound advice when it is needeu. If more money is required for ex pansion In what appears to be a profitable direction, you will ' ad vance It. But you will see to it that the whole transaction Is kept on a BUSINESS basis. I'm willing to lav a fair-sized bet that the first three that is. those to whom vou are a do-gooder and nothing else will ALWAYS BE IN TROUBLE, whereas the second three will amount to some thing in the world and will be a great credit to you. I'll lav another bet. The first three will TURK AGAINST YOU and call you a mean old skinflint, whereas the second three will hold you In high esteem all their lives. Tribal School Funds Studied SALEM M Representatives of the Klamath Indian tribe, U.S. Bu reau of Indian Affairs and State Department of Education held pre liminary talks here Tuesday on how to spend federal money for Indian education. Congress appropriated $1,000,000 for adult education among several Indian tribes, but it isn't known how much the Klamaths will get. The main issue discussed Tues day was whether the State Depart ment of Education should super vise the program among the Klam aths until the tribe wins its free dom In 1958. The purpose of the education program Is to prepare the 2.086 members of the tribe for full citi zenship. Don C. Poster, area director of the Bureau cf Indian Affairs, said the State Education Department should run the education program. The two tribal representatives, Dibbon Cook and Elnathan Davis Sr., answered that the tribe hasn't made up its mind yet. A. Harvey Wright, state Indian education director, said that 1,381 members of the tribe live on the reservation, 153 in Klamath Falls, 11 in Malm. 521 elsewhere, and 20 In the armed forces. There are 1.03O under 18 years ot age, and 1.058 over 18. State Supt. of Public Instruction Rex Putnam said the state wouldn't operate the proeram un less the tribe asked It to do to. I US Delegate Opposes Red UN Proposal UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Russia sought Wednesday to bring Red China and Communist North Korea into the U.N. debate on Korea, but the United States vig orously opposed the move. The United States cited Red China's sentencing of 13 Americans as alleged spies as one reason why the Peiping regime should not be invited here. Poland declared that if the Unit ed 8tates was really interested in settling the case of these men It ought to agree to have the Peip ing representative come here for ciscussions. U.S. Delegate James J. Wads worth asserted the Chinese Com munists and the North Koreans still were holding hundreds of per sons who aided the U.N. cause and were continuing aggression. "The Chinese Communists have no right tJ sit at this table," he told the General Assembly's 60 natlon Political Committee. - The Soviet proposal was laid be fore the committee by Jacob A. Malik, who last week replaced the late Andrei Y. Vishinsky as chief Russian delegate. Wadsworth said he did not wish to dwell at length on the case uf the 13 men and what he described as the "trumped up charges' against them. He supported a proposal by Prince Wan Waithayokon, foreign minister of Thailand, that South Korea be invited to take part In the discussions. Malik told the committee It would be impossible to expect any objective discussion of the Korean problem witnout tne two uommun isl regimes being represented here. British Minister of State An thonv Nuttinir agreed with Wads- worth that the Red regimes should not be invited. He said they rejected the authori ty of the U.N. at the Geneva con ference on Korea last spring and, for this reason, it was hardly fit ting to invite them. Malik was supported by the So viet satellites. Xmas Bureau Plans Meeting A public meeting-for all Interest ed organization tmd-.

However, he left that point onen by aaying the treaty "will pro vide for Inclusion by agreement of other territories under the Juris diction of the parties." . lockadeOf China Asked By Senator WASHINGTON. W Sen. Jenner (R-Ind) said Wednesday ihat Red China's Jailing of 13 Americana on spy charges "is perilously close to er. act of war." He proposed blockading that country until It seta free all Americans held cap tive. 1 "A nation which will not give every last ounce of its strength and courage to free its unjustly Imprisoned fighting men is not worthy of respect as a sovereign power," Jenner told the Senate. In addition to the 11 airmen and two Army civilian employes sentenced as spies, Jenner said "We have been told there are 52S missing GIs and several hundred civilians who cannot get out of China." . The Idea of blockading Red Chi na to force release of the prisoners waa advanced last week by Sen, Knowland of California, Republic I can leader In the Senate. Sen. Mc Carthy (R-Wls) said he Is In "com. plete sympathy" with the proposal. However, Secretary of State Dul. les with the backing ot President Fisenhower has ruled out any "war action" such as a blockade. The administration appeared to be relying on steady pressure aimed at arousing world feeling as the main plan to win release of the 13, Noting that. Dulles has proposed ' sendlngthe issue to tha United , Nations, ' Jenner aaidT" ' "If we turn tha question of pro. tecting our fighting men over to the U.N., we are transferring our sovereignty. We are admitting that we are a province in a world gov ernment, no longer - free to de fend our national honor." In endorsing tougher action, Mc Carthy said in an interview earlier, that be doubted a single Amerl. ran warship would be needed to create a blockade. He suggested the United States could Impose one by simply telling Its allies they would get no more aid as long as they kept shipping goods to Communist China. , (Earlier story on page 10) Snow Blankets Midwest, West By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A blanket of snow covered wide areas in the Midwest and West Wednesday with temperatures dropping below zero in some sec tions.
