In The. Day's lews asmm Mm By FRANK JENKINS World affairs note; Secretary of Slate Dulles Jook off today (or Europe and the Big Four loreigr. ministers meeting at Geneva. In a last-minute state ment, he says: "The West is ready to meet every legitimate Russian concern lor security." Bui He added "We doubt that In the long run security is ever gained by per petuating a grave Injustice like the division ol Germany." If you doubt Mr. Dulles' state ment, break out your encyclopedia and read up on the history of Al sace and Lorraine.. These provin ces, which have alternated back and forth between France and Germany and between the an cestors of the French and the Germans! before France was France nd Germany was Ger many have been potent breed ers of wars lor more than a dozen centuries The blood that has been shed in these wars would fill a small sized ocean, and the hatreds that have been generated by them have poisoned Eurcpe since the airly beginning of European history. As Dulles suggest.?, if the Rus sians Insist cn linnging onto East 'jWrmany they will create another Alsace-Lorraine which may heaven forbid. '. Bouncing from world affairs to U.S. politics, Democrats launched their farm conference at Des Moines yesterday with a charge that Secretary of Agriculture Ben son should have taken action a year ago to stall off the "farm price squeeze." Representative Michael Kirwan of Ohio, chairman of the Demo cratic national congressional cam paign committee, .pointed to reso lutions adopted by a meeting of Midwest Republican governors a week ago as proof that there is a "squeeze" which has to be corv sidered. These Republican gover nors asked Secretary Benson to begin promptly the purchase of hogs by the government to sup port prices. Former Democratic Secretary ol Agriculture Charles Brannon told his fellow Democrats assembled at Des Moines that the symptoms i falling hog prices) were apparent a year ago. He aaid Benson should have started buying up hogs then. Well" Well!' Well! Here's a bunch of political Dem ocrats and a bunch of political Re publicans who arc IN AGREE MENT on a political issue. They both believe that the way to . get farm votes In the 1958 political campaign .is to Promise the farm ers GUARANTEED HIGH PRIC ES, regardless of supply and de mand, for everything the farmer has to sell. There are political farmers, you see. in both parties. (A political farmer Is a politician who farms the farmers for votes Instead of farming the land for crops') Merely - for argument's sake, Jet's suppose that a year ago when -pork- prices started Tailing because too many pigs had been farrowed the preceding spring) Secretary Benson had started buy ing pork to KEEP THE PRICE UP. Whai would he have done with thr pork? Why. he'd have had to STORE IT UP in a government ware house. Then Because the price of pork would have remained high People would have CUT DOWN cn their consumption of pork. So Theoretically Vith supply exceeding demand, prices of pork would have lallen. In that event still dealing with theory aid not fact fewer pigs would have beer, farrowed the fol lowing spring. But Dealing now with fact The high guaranteed price would have caused farmers to RAISE MORE PIGS In order to- take ad-' vantage of the high guaranteed prices. ' So the result would have been a steadily accumulating supply ol pork piling up in government warehouses to hang like a dark thundercloud over the pork mark ets of the futtue. Like wheat, i Vnd like cotton. .. That's the way POLITICAL FARMING works. 'tiy-f '. 7 " KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER M. 1955 ( If-C'f -4 ' t,VV : s i ' Price 10 Ccnta 10 rages : .

Wallace, the Progressive party nominee lor president in IMS. said he had "the greatest admiration and respect-' for Stevenson. Ke fativer and Harrtman. But Elsen hower "represents more than any Stirs Political Parity Support other man the . world's hope for peace." Wallace said, and "this outweighs .all other considera tions." Eisenhower conferred 25 min utes yesterday In Denver with Atty. Gen. Browncll. a top admin istration political strategist. But Brownrll said there was no talk of politics, and elsewhere on the Republican political scene there was relative quiet. One exception: In New York California's Gov. Goodwin Knight said he would be a "lavorite son" candidate for the 1956 GOP nomi ml ion If Elsenhow er docs not seek reelection. n aide said alter Knight's news conference statement, however, that tills docs not mean the uover nor Is seeking the presidential nomination.

The farm question Is shaping up as a major Issue in the 1956 cam paign. Demociats have been plug ging for rigid, high level support to bolster sagging farm pi tees while the Elsenhower administra tion has abandoned this in favor of a sliding, ilexiele scale ul fed eral price props.

I.MT Ul'IKItIN One attorney, who declined tn have his name published, said In nis opinion public Law 587 was drawn In a manner which Ignored the statutes of Oregon dealing wttn Indian guardianship and pro bate matters. The lawyer added that before estates of Indiana can be legally probated and, Indian guardlanshins properly handled by the courts, congress must amend Publlo Law S87 and- make lit- confirm wiih state lawa under, which the Indi an.4- of the Klamath-Reservation must live.

Wilder, U.S. public health service physician who operates the clinic at Klam- nlli Agency, told the council that medical facilities for the reserva tion were poor, and that if the hospital cannot be reopened, the tribe should set up some type oi group insurance pre-psid mcdioal plan. Jackson told the council that the hospital would probably have to be set uu as a community hospital, serving not only the reservation but also surrounding communities inch as For', Klamath and Chilo- quin.

(Slrried) Bob Beach Commander Heart Specialist Predicts ike's Release On Nov. 72 DENVER Ml Dr. Paul Dudley White said Saturday that Presiden Eisenhower Is ' "convalescing well." the healing of his heart has speeded up, and he should be able to leave the hospital on schedule in the week of Nov. 5-12. The Boston heart specialist, the lop consultant of Eisenhower's case, told a news conference that he had "only good news" Satur day. He pronounced the President "oi the road back to good health," bu; said that "We shall have to wait another two or three months to make sine of the completeness of ma recovery. ' Asked whether he could envision being able to tell the chief execu the at the end of two or three months whether he could run for a second white House term If he wishes. White replied that all the doctors can tell him Is "how fit the heart Is.' He suggested that the decision would have to be Eisenhower's out that the wishes of his family also might be taken Into consideration It ww learned that the doctor; are figuring tentatively on letting Elsenhower check out of the hos pital about midway of the week ol Nov. 5-12. although a definite date has not been set. White and a team of doctors gave the chief executive a com plete medical checkup Saturday morning at Fltzslinons Army Hos pital. White presided at a news conference afterward at Ihe Den ver White House. As the doctors see It. ft si 111 probably will be Jan. 1 before the chief executive could return to his dulies in the White House. When he leaves Denver he probably will fly ro Washington, spend a day or two in the White House and then eo on to his farm at Gettysburg, Pa. During the convalescence period there the President should be able to step up conlerences with Cabi net members and other adminis tration, officials, or' even hold a meeting of Hie full Cabinet. And possibly he inlgnt turn the procedure around and go from Get tysburg to Washington for occa sional meetings, In response to a question. White said that Eisenhower's -recovery nas gone along "almost exactly' according to the schedule he out lined on his last previous trip to uenver two weeks ago. He quoted a letter from Dr. Eu gene Lepeschkin, a cardiogram ex pert at the university of Vermont medical school, as saying tha' while electrocardiograms during the first 10 days ailer the PrcsV dent's Sept. 2 heart Seizure Indi cated that ."the healing process appeareo aeiayeo. 11 nas now caught up with the time schedule Police Shut Frontiers For Safety SAARBRUECKEN.
