Fighting Flares On Egypt Border WIt.TfW WVNN CAIKO, Egypt i The first erial clash was reported Monday in renewed lighting along the tense Gaza Strip frontier between Egypt and Israel where six were killed Sunday. . A reliable source in Israel controlled Jerusalem said tha en counter between planes of the two countries began when four Egyp tian jets of the British Vampire tvpe flew over Israeli territory east of Rafa. near the Juncture of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. One Egyptian plane was hit by gunfire from two pursuing Israeli planes, this source said. An Israeli Army spokesman in Jerusalem re ported only that Egyptian planes which penetrated over Israeli terri tory had been driven back to their own area. An Egyptian government source earlier said there was a two-hour exchange of gunfire by border troops Monday.

The presence of the HEAD OF THE SOVIET DELEGATION was taken as an indication that Russia Is prepared to collaborate in any - auch international pool. That Is hopeful because It in dicates that we are living in a PRACTICAL era. If we contributed fissionable ma terial to a world atoms-for-peace pool and if the Iron Curtain coun tries could sequester this material and use It for ATOMS-FOR-WAR. the whole business would be Just plain criminal nonsense.

The Northwest pork Industry will hold a conference on Septem w 5K and Yl at the Whitman county fairgrounds in the state of Washington. The meeting will be sponsored by Washington State College, the wasningion owme Breeders association and the old Union Stockyards. Attention will be centered on current pork prob lems and possible solutions there for. nr. M. E. Enslncer. chairman of the department of husbandry , trouble with the business Is that nork coming on the market m 4: recent years has been too fat. As a result, he claims, modern con sumers who, almost witnout ex ception, want to get slimmer and slimmer and therefore shy away from fatty foods have :' been eating less and less pork as , the years pass. Recent consumer preference stud . les, he adds, show that higher ; prices will be paid for leaner pork. This, he says, is confirmed 'by the fact that for the past five years the ;jrice of leaner pork has Tbcen rising, while the price of latter pork has been falling. 4 Here In the Klamath Basin, with potato prices scandalously low . and quite a lot of feed grade barley in sight, we need to be giving careful thought to feeding out more of our livestock. It might be worth while to give some thought to producing more pork. Here in the West, we're HEAVY IMPORTERS of It. That Is to say. we don't produce as much of it as we consume. There fore, the price structure is rela tively favorable lor as lonu as we import pork from the Midwest we get the Chicago-Omaha price PLUS the freight. If we can learn how to produre pork that will equal the corn belt pork in quality and if we can develop feeds that will compete In cost and results w-ith the feeds of the Midwest, we might be able to expand our hog production profitably. We're reaching the point where further diversification of our ag riculture Is advisable. KF Grand Jury Session Delayed County Clerk Charles DeLap an nounced Monday that the pending session ol the Klamath Countj Grand Jury slated for Thursday has been postponed until Septem ber . DeLap explained that James , Grimes, foreman of the grand Jury, Is serving as federal court Juror in Medford and cannot be present here until September 6. Eight criminal cases will be presented to the grand Jury by District Attorney Richard Bc-slcy. nan casualties had been reported. This Is the fitih successive day of fighting along the frontier of the Egyptian - held coastal area i n Pale&Ur.e. Egyptian authorities said the shooting brought the total dead in incidents during the past week in the Egyptian-held coastal area of Palestine to seven Egyptians and 13 Israelis. Each side blamed the other lor the continuance of bloodshed. Ol'TPOSTS FIRED ON An Egyptian army communique said the Israelis fired on five Egyptian outposts east of Gaza city, and the Egyptians , returned the fire. The communique said four Egyptians were killed, while the wounded included six Egyp tians and many Israeli soldiers." In Jerusalem, the Israeli gov ernment claimed (1) an Egyptian attack on an Israeli patrol near the village of Bert in which two Israelis were wounded; 12) the mining of two Israeli army cars near Berrl. killing two Israeli soldiers and wounding three; and 3 another Egyptian attack on a patrol near the village of Kussu fim. An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman declared that ."Egyp tian aggression has reached dimen sions without precedent since the conclusion of the armistice agree ment." He warned that his gov ernment "will take all measures of self-defense for the protection of the lives of Its citizens." The clashes came as tne Arab and Israeli governments studied U.S. Secretary of State Dulles nionosals for settling the seven- year-old Jewish -Arab deadlock over a peace treaty. DULLES' STUDY So far there was no official Arab reaction, but Western diplomats regarded as encouraging the ap parently careful study being given Dulles' plan. The Arab League will meet here next Saturday to discuss the proposals, which in clude an international guarantee of the borders of Israel and the Arab states and an International loan to compensate the 900,000 Arab refugees from Israeli-held territory. Unofficial Arab reaction. Includ ing most newspaper comment, ranged from coolness to outright opposition. The Israeli government also was noncommittal on Dulles' propos als, advanced in a speech in New York Friday night. Storm Clears East Coast TIAMI Fla. W The all clear was sounded Monday for the en tire East Coast and piobably for Bermuda as far as Hurricane Edith is concerned. The Atlantic storm has made its predicted turn to a north-north easterly course and will keep its 60 to 83 mile winds over the open sea. said Oordon Dunn, chief storm forecaster here. "The entire East Coast is in the clear now and the islands of Ber muda probably will not experience hurricane winds," Dunn reported. "There is a wide open path for the hurricane to swing around to the Northeast and keep going over open water, a menace only to shipping." The tropical storm maintained a forward pace of only eight miles an hour but was expected to pick up forward speed late Monday or Monday night. Top winds in squalls were esti mated at 80-85 miles per hour. The storm Monday forenoon was about 160 miles south southeast, of Ber muda and about 1.000 miles east of Daytona Beach, Fla. Reds Charged By UN Leader PANMUNJOM, Korea W The U. N. Command Monday charged the Communists with gross ne glect of Lt. Guy H. Bumpass while the wounded flier was in Red hands. MaJ. Gen. Harland C. Parks, senior Allied delegate to the Mil itary Armistice Commission, told the Communists at a meeting Mon day BumpRss could not recall re ceiving any medical treatment un til the second night after his plane crashed. The general also told the Com munists the Jackson. Miss., flier denied making a statement attrib uted to him by North Korean prop aganda broadcasts. Maj. Gen. Jung Hook Rok re plied that Bump ass was "insane" if he denied the purported state ment, which praised Red treat ment and spoke of "how U. S. propaganda was deceitful." Of the treatment given Bumpass alter his plane was shot down Aug. 17 near the neutral zone by Red guns. Parks said: "To the best of hi.i knowledge, he was never X-rayed by your doctors ... the crnly treatment he received consisted of sewing up head lacerations. "Your treatment and handling of this represents a gross disre gard of the probably grave conse quences to his life.' Parks showed the Communists X-ray plates showing Bumpass suffered a fractured skull in the crash. FEROX AIDE BUENOS AIRES.

Ike Expresses Peace Hopes DENVER W President Eisen hower expressed the hope Mon day that United Nations disarma ment talks opening in New York will lead to an easing of world tension. The President made the state ment at the summer White House after conferring by telephone with Secretary of State Dulles, who was In Washington. The President's statement was timed to coincide with the start in New York of disarmament talks by a United Nations subcommittee. Represented on the subcommittee are the United States, Russia, Great Britain, France and Canada. Eisenhower noted that the New York sessions resulted from an agreement reached at the July meeting of the Big Four at Gene va. In his prepared statement the President said: "Of the actual decisions reached at Geneva the first to be put to practical test is the decision to re new talks on limitations of arma ments." James C. Hagerty, press secre tary, declined to say whether the American delegation in New York would put forth any new disarma ment proposals. Hagerty said he preferred to let the answer to that one await developments In New York.

' Former Army Officer Faces Charge In Wartime Slaying WASHINGTON Wi Former Ar my Lt. Aldo L. Icardi was indicted Monday on eight charges of false ly denying- any part In the cloak and dagger World War II slaying of Maj. William Holohan. The indictment was returned by a federal grand Jury which has been investigating the Holohan slaying for several weeks. The indictment accuses Icardi, of Pittsburgh, of giving false testi mony in eight instances when he testified before a House armed services subcommittee in March, 1953 Holohan was slain lit Northern Italy la 1044 while leading a group which parachuted behind Axis lines. Icardi and Carl Lo Dolce of Rochester, N. Y.. were members Of the secret mission. Icardi, who was second in com mand to Holohan, and Lo Dolce were tried in absentee by an Ital ian court and convicted of slaying Holohan. They could not be ex tradited, however, to serve the sen tence s-r-IKe for Icardi and 23 years for Lo Dolce. Lo Dolce did not testify before the House subcommittee which in vestigated the slaying. Fourteen persons were flown here from Italy to testify before the grand jury in its investigation of the sensational Ha.lohan case.

MONDAY, AUGUST tS, IKS I'M 1 police lieutenant who dragged Hoi ohan's body from Lako Orla in Northern Italy in June, 1950. Discovery of the body had led to charges by Italian authorities that Holohan was murdered by American companions on the mis sion. Witnesses at the trial In Italy testified a dispute arose between Holohan and Icardi on the distil' button of arms to underground partisans. The account was that Holohan objected to possibly sup- plying ammunition to Communists while Icardi favored equipping the Bnrtisans. . ,. One of -the perjHiry-'charge's ' ac cused Icardi or swearing falsely when he denied any knowledge of poison being placed in soup given to Holohan on the night of Dec. 6, 1944. The Indictment said Icardi "in structed, advised, requested, or dered and commanded'1 an Italian to place a ccrtnin poisonous sub stance in soup to be served to Hol ohan and was present when tins was done. When he testified before the sub committee. Icardi was asked whether Lo Dolce "cither drew straws or tossed a coin as to who was going to kill Holohan." Icardi replied, "No. sir." The indictment charged this testimony was not true and that Icardi and Lo Dolce "(lid, by means of lot, sortilege (sici and chance, determine and elect which one would kill Holohan." The grand Jury also charged that Icardi told a false story to the effect thut Holohan decided to move the Ofiice of strategic Serv ices mission from Villa Castle Nu ovo to another location and that Icardi heard shots liicd alter Holo han left the villa. The Justice Department refused to say whether return ol the Indict ment completed the grand jury's deliberations or whether it will make further Investigation Into the Holohan case. ti: 3 lit Huge Plant Fire Levels Oil Tanks WHITINQ, Ind. tPi The big fire at the standard Oil Co.

Labor Charge Dismissed WASHINGTON W The National Labor Relations Board Btuiday dismissed unfair labor charges brought against the AFL Teamsters in Portland by office workers. rne case was an outgrowth of a labor dispute between the union and Its office workers which re sulted in the union headquarters in Portland being picketed in 1953. After a hearing of the charges, ILRB examiner Martin S. Bennett found the union guilty ot trying to prevent Teamster otllce employes from Joining a rival AFL Office Workers union. He said that the Teamsters had discharged several employes for Joining the Office Workers union and had tried to get another to "take a trip" to avoid testnying at tha NLRB probe. Tne NLRB overruled the exami ner by a 3-2 vote and dismissed the case, contending thai unions come under the NLRB ru)tn against taking cases involving non profit organizations, Abe Murdock, a member of the commission, said he would consider such charges only when the union is oneratlnz -kan all-out business enterprise. Dissenting members in a snarplv worded statement said that employers "will no doubt be aston ished to learn" that unions are free to engago In the samo conduct forbidden employers. They added: "ft is unrealistic In any case t believe that a Con gress which animated by a desire to make the Wager Act a two-wav street adopted an elaborate code of restrictions upon labor unions could have intended to strike down in whole or part the only Imitation in the Wagner Act upon labor union conduct.
