im m ITU mum u . im In The i Day's News By FRANK JENKINS More on Argentina: Authoritative sources say Presi dent (Dictator) Peron's govern ment plans to ask the Argentine congress this afternoon to approve an immediate DECLARATION OF SIEGE FOR BUENOS AIRES. Why is that interesting? Peronist Argentina and commu nist Russia have basically similar systems of government. II the Argentines don't lite It and may be rising in revolt against it it could be a sign that the Russians don't like what THEY have and may IN TIME revolt against it. Democratic Senator EUender of Louisiana and Republican Senator Malone of Nevada have been tour ing Russia and both are much impressed with what they have seen. EUender has just come out of Russia. He says in Vienna: "My trip ft as a revelation to me. It was far different from the impression I had gained from the U.S. state department. I saw enough and talked to enough peo ple to gather the impression that the Russians don't want war." Malone, still in Russia, attended a big party in Moscow last night and swapped toasts to peaceful coexistence with Kremlin leaders. Including Malenkov and Kagano vich. Malone says to reporters this morning: I told them: You have your system. We have ours. Nobody should try to interfere with the other." Fair enough. But I think Malone and EUender and all the other visiting Americans who are getting the red carpet rolled out for them in Russia bet ter remember that line from Ham let about the "smiling, damned villain" who can smile and smile nd be a villain still. And it might be Just as well to recall Virgil's crack some 20 cen turies ago about fearing the Greeks, "even when they come , bearing gifts." I'm all for friendship with Rus sia, and fair and reasonable TRADE with Russia, but as long as the communists run the place we'd better keep our guns loose in their holsters while we're talk ing and trading. Looking forward (o 1956: President Eisenhower will con feV in Denver on September 10 with Republican party chairmen from all 48 states. the purpose of the Denver gather- I in I'lmnrnun P.enilblican J!)4 1.3 w ,..,....... . party techniques, stimulate organi zational activity ana oroaaeu uu expand the present GOP strategy." I'd like to offer a little advice which won't be taken: Decide on WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY, hew rigidly to that line and let the chips fall where they may. and cut out all ihe ancient political claptrap and bushwah. There are more people than the politicians think who would go along with a campaign like that.

For vears, research chemists have believed that waste from pulp and paper plants is rich in wanted raw materials, but in the past no one has been able to find the way to recover them. There are Increasing signs that the mys tery is being cracked. When that time comes, big chemical plants will grow up alongside big pulp and paper plants and chemical industry pay rolls will be added to the pulp x and paper industry payrolls in the greas where pulp and paper de velopment occurs. Note in conclusion: The Klamath country has pulp limber enough, and water enough, and potential power enough for a HUGE pulp and paper industry which could be followed by a huge chemical industry. Portland Plans Defense Test SALEM n The civil defense evacuation test scheduled for Port land the last week of this month will involve half the city's popula tion and will take in 1.000 city blocks. In making the announcement, Robert Hallberg. Santa Rosa. fAlif.. public a Ha Irs oflicer for federal civil defense regional of fice, said Portland is an Ideal prov ing ground for evacuation as it Is similar to many other critical tar get areas. Hallberg met here with the state civil defense director, Arthur Sheets.

It quoted Dr. Akira Miyasakl as say ing the count had dropped from a normal 6.0OO-7.OW) to 3.00M.OOO. The men are complaining of being tired and dizzy after only 80 days of work, he said. Peron Acts To Control Argentina BUENOS AIRES. Argentina W Authoritative sources said Presi dent Peron's government planned to ask Congress Thursday after noon to approve an immediate declaration of a state of siege for Buenos Aires. The report came on the heels of action by Peron to lighten his grip on the entire country with the warning that any opposition vio lence will be met "by action still more violent." A state of siege is a modified form of martial law under which the government can arbitrarily put into effect strict controls not ordi narily permitted. STATE OF SEIGE The informants said the call for the state of siege will be approved quickly in the chamber of deputies and sent directly to the Senate for action. ' After Senate approval it would need only Peron's signature to make it into law. , , Peron told a well-organized dem onstration of many thousands Wednesday night he was withdraw ing his offer to step down as pres ident. Earlier Wednesday, he had announced he would resign if it would guarantee "pacification" of the nation. CHEERED Speaking before the wildly cheering throng in the central Plaza de Mayo, Peron said it was clear his opponents "do not want the pacification we have offered them." He declared: "There remain only two roads: For the government, a repression adjusted to the subversive ac tions: for the people, an action, a struggle which matches the vio lence to which they want to carry us, VIOLENCE ANSWERED "We have to answer violence with greater violence. . . and when one of our people falls, five of them will fall." Dominating the 10-hour demon stration in the central square were Peron's General Confederation of Labor (CGT) the popular basis of this strength and the men's and women's Peronista parties. The army, which saved Peron from the unsuccessful June 16 revolt and kept him in office, was conspicu ously absent from the vast crowd Evening Show Starts Rodeo LAKE VIEW The annual Labol Day roundup will, start with an evening show, Saturday. Septem ber 3, at 7 p.m. New lights at the rodeo grounds have made it possi ble to move the first performance from afternoon to evening hours. Don Miller of Catlow Valley will furnish the livestock for this year's show which is considered one of the largest amateur rodeos in the Pacific Northwest. Additional work has been done on the grounds this year. Ernie Messner, roundup president, says 12 chutes will be operating in order to make this year's show, the 36th, a fast-moving performance. Afternoon shows will start at 1:30 on Sunday, September 4, and Monday, September 5. Highway Death Toll Forecast SACRAMEHTO U1 The High way Patrol today predicted tha; at least 25 persons will be killed in traffic accidents in Calilornia during the Labor Day weekend. "This may be one of the deadli est Labor Day holidays If drivers continue to disregard traffic rules and regulations and ignore the rights of others," said B. R. Cam well, patrol commissioner. "It can be one of the safest if every driver will demonstrate proper respect for traffic laws and moral responsibilities while driving In tralllc." The commissioner said the pa trol again will be on the highways in full strength throughout the weekend, with special enforcement attention paid to drunk drivers, last drivers, or slow drivers who impede the flow of traffic. Russell S. Munro. director of 1 coholic beveraRe control, said his department again would put all available enforcement agents on duty in an attempt to slop sales of alcoholic beverages to intoxi cated persons or minors. Heat, Smog Covers Bay City SAN FRANCISCO tUPl A heat and smog wave that has plagued normally cool, clear San Francis co for the past two days was ex pected to get worse today. The weatherman predicted tem peratures would hit the mid-80? here ihis afternoon with more ol the smokey haze hanging over much of the city. Visibility throughout the Bay Re gion was reduced to as low a? tvo to four miles yesterday. The weatherman suid the sea breezes which usually dispel the smog would continue light at least until tomorrow. The heat wave was general throughout the Bav Region, with predicted highs today of to at Oak land. 95 at San Mateo and 97 a. San Rafael. Price Five Cents 2 faces US TO Study Withdrawal From Japan 0 WASHINGTON (. Ten years after he signed Japan's World War II surrender, Foreign Minister Ms moru Shigemitsu had from the United States today a promise - to consider "the progressive with drawal" of American ground forces irom Japan. Tlie 68-year-oid carur diplomat did not get all he sought in three days of talks that ended here yes terday. But he declared he was "quite satisfied" with the outcome. Today he headed for New York for a four-day visit before return ing to Tokyo. The United States now has about 100.000 troops in Japan. It would like to take them out, but not until it thinks Japan is strong enough to defend Itself. CONFERENCES No target date for withdrawal was set in the agreement an nounced after Shigemitsu's final talks with Secretary of State Dulles yesterday. However, it was learned that Japanese-American confer ences on a time schedule will soon open in Tokyo. Shigemitsu outlined a provision al six-year rearmament plan to in crease Japan's present 150,000-man army to 180.000 by the end of 1958. U.S. military authorities think Japan should have a 350,000-man ground force for adequate defense. The Japanese defense plan also calls for a 1,300-plane air force by 1960 and a 125.000-ton navy by 1961. There was no mention of withdrawal of U.S. air or naval forces from Japan But the two governments agreed that "primary responsibility" for the defense of Japan's homeland should be handed over to Japan along with its ability to "contrib ute to the preservation of peace and security in the Western Pa cific." INDEPENDENCE In effect this met Shigemitsu's call for greater independence in handling Japan's defense affairs. But it also put in writing that japan snouid snare urine collec tlve security of the Far Pacific, Shigemitsu and Dulles also agreed to work on a formula for a "progressive reduction" over sev eral years of Japan's financial sup port of U.S. forces there. Japan's expense this year is 105 million dollars. On other points Shigemitsu broached here he did not fare too well: 1. The United States declined to make any commitment to return Okinawa and the remaining Ryu kyu and Bonin islands to Japanese sovereignty. 2. The United States did not con sider it timely to relax restrictions on trade with Communist China. 3. There was no mass release as asked by Shigemitsu. involving 210 Japanese war criminals con victed bv U.S. war crimes tribu nals and held In Sugamo Prison. The United States did not depart from its practice of considering earh case individually. The State Department announced that 22 prisoners about 10 per cent of the total have been grant ed a parole after consideration by the U.S. Clemency and Parole Board for War Criminals. Fremont Area Timber Sold LAKEVIEW Approximately 1.500.000 board feet of Fremont National Forest timber in the Wart Park area of the Silver Lake rang er district was sold August 29 to the Gilchrist Lumber Company of Gilchrist, Oregon, reported Lloyd Gillmor, Fremont timber sales of ficer. The timber was sold for the ap ralsal prices of $33.90 per thousand board feet for the ponderosa pine; 2 per thousand on the white fir and hi per thousand on the un marked dead timber. Israel Jets Down TEL AVIV, Israel (UPl Israel today announced that its Jet Air Force shot down two Egyptian Jet fighters over Israel territory, and Egypt in a surprise move re turned to the U.

Paul Patterson to protest the picket-line crossing at the McKay firm and at two other automobile agen cies ' where machinists are on strike after negotiations failed to result In new contracts. The state-owned cars cross the picket lines when repairs are nec essary, state officials said. The firms bid on such jobs. "We've had trouble with McKay every year since the plant was organized, except in 1949 when we signed the 1348 contract," said Holt, who was working for McKay in 194H, when the plant was or ganized. An attempt to decertify the plant was made in 1950, but the machinists won the NLRB election, 27-18. He reiterated a union assertion that McKay was engaging in "1000 style labor practices." The strike began July 28. Holt said the employers wanted to de lete union shop, seniority, 40-hour work w?ek guarantees, and re fused to grant S2.20 hourly wages, as paid in Portland, 50 miles to the north. Will Masters, Portland, Bttorncy for the agencies, agreed that the firms wanted to delete the union' shop clause and to reduce the 40 hour guarantee, but said no at tempt was made to change senior ity rules. He also said the shops had put a $2.10 hourly wage and a bonus plan into cllcct. ' McKay s son-in-law.

J174 Idaho Power Rule Change Asked FPC WASHINGTON UK The Federal Power Commission was asked Thursday to reconsider its decision to license the Idaho Power Co.'s three Di'ODO&ed dams in the Hells Canyon reach of the Snake RiverJ where a federal project has been proposed. Attorneys for public power J groups, favoring a federal Hells Canyon dam, asserted that FPC ordered issuance of the liceil.se in violation of the Federal Power law, abused its discretion, side stepped the main is.sue and "con cealed tlie true basis for its de cision.'' REHEARING ASKED Tney asked a rehearing In the controversial case and, if tins is denied, requested that the license be held up aurmg a court appeal. The petition was prepared fo.' filing with FPC lata Thursday by Evelyn Cooper and Lucien Hilmer, lawyers ior the National Hella Can yon Assn., eight public utility dis tricts in Washington State and the National Rural Electiic Coopera tive Assn. FPC ruled Aug. 4 that a single license should be issued tor con struction by Idaho Power of the proposed Brownlee, Oxbow and low Hells Canyon Dams. It held, hi ef fect, that the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake, a Columbia River tributary, should not be reserved for construction of a much-larger federal dam. Authorisation legisla tion tor a federal project has been introduced during the past three sessions of Congress, but it has never been approved. The public power attorneys said the FPC violated the Federal Pow er Law by not recommending that the government undertake devel opment of the Hells canyon water, The law. they said, requires the FPC to jrecomniend federal dams when they are best adapted to a comprehensive ' river development program in the publio interest. The commission, ttiev contend' ed, "failed to give effect to the facts which point, as the presiding examiner has held, to the lnes capable conclusion thai the high (federal) dam would be aonar lor dollar the better Investment and the more nearly ideal development ot the Middle snake. STANDARDS The lawyer! said the commis sion "used erroneous and arbi trary standards" in determining the three-dam plan "is nest aoapiea to a comprehensive plan for im proving or developing the river." This waa done, they said, "not withstanding that it would supplant a kev. multipurpose and economi cally feasible project in a federal comprehensive river basin plan." They added: The commission tails to face. lei alone adjudicate, tlie funda mental issue in this proceeding. By misconstruction of the federal power act and by abuse of dis cretion it sidesteps the issue of maximum resource development versus wastelul piecemeal devel opment. EVIDENCE "The decision , , . is predicated unon little more than iragments selected from the 19.000 pages of transcript. 4O0 exhibits and nu merous other documents mat com prise the record. It relies upon un realistic and unjustifiable assump tions, unsubstantiated evidence and riiaterial outside the record." Tlie lawyers said the commis sion failed to give proper consider atton to "greater" benefits which Ihe 356-mllllon-dollar federal pro) ect would provide, In comparison with the three dams, which idano Power says could be built lor 133 million They listed tnese bene i fits: !

' Ike Planning Party Meeting DENVER lypi President Elsen hower ' will confer here Sept. 10 with all 48 Republican slate chair, men in a move to spur party or ganlsatlon for the 1956 political wars. Announcing this Thursday, the summer White House declined to shed any light on whether arrange ments for the conference mean that the President may have made up his mind whether to seek, a second term. Eisenhower indicated last month In Washington that he probably would not decide until early next year. The President -will have break fast with the GOP state chairmen at the Brown PAlace Hotel here. They will arrive Uie night before from Washington where a cam paign clinic has been arranged fov Uie two days prior to uie Denver meeting. . Coming on too for the session here will be KcpuDiican National Chairman Leonard W. Hall and Rep. Simpson of Pennsylvania who heads the House Congression al Campaign Committee. Presidential press secretary James C. Hagerly said Ihe purpose of the Sept. 10 meeting here with the President as well as the ear lier sessions in Washington is three-fold: , Improvement of parly tech niques, stimulation of organization al activity, and broadening and expansion of present activity." In other words, whether Eisen hower decides to run or not, he is taking a personal hand in whipping up parly enthusiasm for next year s campaigns. Asked whether arrangement lor the meeting with Elsenhower means he will play a personal role and campaign nest fall whether he bids for re-election or not Hagerty simply smiled and replica: "They (the GOP stale chairmen) are coming here to have a meeting with the President and that is all It means."

Soviets Tell Disarming Plan Points UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UPl Russia today asked the West to agree upon six points which the Soviet Union considers the major Issues in the disarmament ques tion. Soviet Delegate Arkady A. Sob olev broke his silence in the U.N. Disarmament Subcommittee to bring up the six points. But he gave no hint as to whether tiie Kremlin would agree to President Eisenhower's plan for air. sea and land inspection of military installations and an American-Russian exchange of military blue prints. QUESTION Sobolev asked the United States, Britain, France and Canada, the Western members of the subcom mittee, whether they would agree:. 1. That the manpower levels pro posed by the Russians in their dls- armament proposals of last May 10 should be the basis of the arms reduction program. These levels were 1 to Vf2 mil lion men lor Russia, the United States and China and 650,000 lor Britain and France. 2. That the manpower level Tor armed torces of other countries should be.set aX 150,000 to 200,000 men, - - - 3. That a ban on atomic, hydro Ren and other weapons of mass destruction should become effec tive when the countries 'have com pleted 75 per cent of their agreed arms reduction. 4. That complete elimination of such weapons from national arma ments should be achieved when the remaining 25 per cent of the agreed arms reduction goes fnto effect. WEAPONS 5. That there should be an Im mediate ban on the use of nuclear weapons except In defense against aggression. 6. That, pending agreement on the prohibition of nuclear weapons, there should be a ban on tests of such arms. There was little new in Sobolev's questions. He had outlined this Soviet position 1 n his opening speech to the subcommittee last Monday and several of the points were included in a British-French working paper put before the sub committee in London last April. Rail Dispute Board Created DENVER IM President Eisen hower, moving to avert a strike Friday at midnight, created an emergency board Thursday to In vestigate a dispute between the Pennsylvania Railroad and 35,000 non-operating employes.' Creation of such a board tinder Ihe Railway Labor Act invariably has the effect of postponing strike acllon for ai least 60 days. . Members of the board, which was created by the President allcr the Nallonal Mediation Board had asked him lo intervene, will be URmcd shortly. The CIO Transport Workers Union said Wednesday Its members voted overwhelmingly to strike the nation's largest railroad over a series cf old grievances coupled -with new wage and hour demands. At the summer White House here, James C.
