I Th- Irrtn ono i o V7 Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS Leading officials In Washington say this morning tha Middle East has become the most critical area in the worldwide cold war. . There are growing fears that Middle East tensions might flare at any time into a full-scale shooting war between Israel and the Arab countries. If Ihe United States and Russia , could be sincerely UNITED In the determination to build a better world There are ho MANY tilings we could do to keep the peace in the . historic powderkeg that we know as the Middle East. We could knock the Israelis' and the Arabs' heads together and tell 'em to be good or elsel Or we could throw a quarantine around the area, shut ting off all war material and let ting 'em fight it out with their bare fists after their ammunition ran out. t That would be bad, but It would be better than letting a little war in the Middle East spread into another world war. But Our informed Washington offi cials say the communist bloc un doubtedly plans to step up pres sure In the months ahead by chan neling weapons to the Arab coun tries. And Our state department says It has information that soviet bloc sourc es have been approaching Israel on SUPPLYING THE ISRAELI FORCES WITH ARMS. That is to say: The commies are planning to slip guns to both aides. . So; You see We can't work with Russia to keep the peace. You Just can't work with people you can't trust. This Is a bright spot: IKE GOES ON IMPROVING. That is important because in some manner peculiar to himself Ike has gained the affection, the trust and the confidence of the people of all the world. What lead ers Ilk that can do is immeasur able.; And . If his health holds We'll have at least 14 months more of Ike's leadership. Shucks! Let'a turn to the lighter aide of life. The BBC, the government-controlled British radio which is normally as solemn and stuffed shirty as government-controlled af . fairs have to be aired its first joke this morning about the Prin cess Margaret-Peter Townsend ro mance. One of its comedians pretended to read a news bulletin saying: "Britain facing another crisis ,1 they had tea together again to dayl" He got a laugh that eqhoed all oyer the United Kingdom. , Of course -'' ' " ' ' You know v If Meg and Peter eloped and got married and LIVED HENCE FORTH ON WHAT THEY COULD EARN their crisis would be re solved and there wouldn't be any thing that anybody could do about It. . In Korwalk. California, this morning 39-year-old William Pivar (arrested yesterday on a 'Charge of malicious mischief) up and threw a heay ashtray through a plate glass window in the sheriff's office. Asked ' what the heck, he ex plained: "I just had an urge to break a window. I feel much bet ter now." If I had been the sheriff. I'd have had an irresistible urge to lay him over a barrel and apply a barrel stave to the seat of his pants. After which. I'm lure I'D have felt much better. Operation Fair Share Reported Goat To Date Goal to Go J1IM27 7S.5M S4.12S High Caliber Piano Team Opens KF Concert Season By DICK nVBRELL A generally high caliber per formance by duo-pianists Alfred and Herbert Teltschik was well received last night by an audience which almost filled the Pelican Theater at the opening concert of the 1955-56 season of the Commu nity Concert Association here. It was the Teltschik.;' first per formance In Klamath Falls. Following their programmed per formance, wnich Included many numbers not heard too often, the brothers played four encores, Tanging from the Sabre Dance to Begin the Beguine. MORE DfFFICt LT The piano which many experts feel is more difficult to play well than any other instrument offers many opportunities for brililan: virtuosity. The Teltschik brothers, who, incidentally are native Tex ans. were dedni.ely technical vir tuosi. The coordination between the two pianists was excellent to the point of being near period. This was in spite of the fact that the brothers handled them selves at the piano in entirely dif ferent styles. One, Alfred, was a showman, while the other, Her bert, the leader of the pair, was the better musician. Tne brilliance of their playing extended, however, to some num bers where, in the opinion of this writer, it was undesirable. This was especially true tn the second movement of the Sonata in D Major (Kochel No. 44i by -tcrnrt. here it was definitely proven that a low volume does ixt. . .-. -. .TWw . - , -- i'i1Tinr a I RUNWAY CONSTRUCTION it proceeding t a fait pace at the new Klamath Falls U.S. Air Force Bate.

' Mohtov Calls For Formation Of European Security System GENEVA li Secretary of State Dulles told Soviet Foreign Minister Mcloiov in 'the Big Foul conference Thursday that to win German unity the United States is prepared to Join in security guar antees "which will preclude any revival of German militarism." Molotov, in his opening state ment to the conference, hit hard on the Soviet theme inat what is most important now for the peace of Europe is creation of a Eu ropean security system. In two world wars "unleashed German militarists." he - said, caused the nations of Europe "un told suiferings and destiuctlon which have not yet been made good." GENEVA Wi Russia and the Western powers opened another historic, and not too hopeful, con ference here Thursday to see whether they can agree upon a formula for unifying Germany and securing permanent peace in Eu rope. . Foreign ministers of the Big Four nations settled down to work in the Council Room of the Palace of Nations at 4:15 p.m. U.S. Secretary of State Dulles. Foreign Secretary MacMillan of Britain and French Foreign Min ister Pinay of France had agreed not mean that the music is "soft." Ihls, in the writer's opinion, should have CBptuied a soft, airy feeling which it nusseci. DREAMY BLAITY" Then in the Notliimlno, the fourth part of the Fuppazzeltl by Aliredo Casella, they captured this dreamy beauty which should have been in the Mozart. The rendition of the Notturnino left the audience breathless, but when they swung thiougn the polka which concludes the live numbers the applause broueht down the house. This Nouurnino is one of the few examples ef a piece of music which does not lose when it is transcribed from one method of presentation to another. And it should be noted that the transcrip tion here was maae by the com poser himself, who originally wrote it for a nme-instrumen. ensemble. The arrangement of the - Blue Danube Waltz of Johann Strauss, which was made by pianist Abram Chasins, did not fare so well, al though the execution by the Telt cchiks kit little to be desired. In tne numbers calling for bril liance, such as Rachmaninoff's Rapscdic of a theme b Paaanini and the Choric Dance No. II b the modern American composer Peul Creston, the brothers were a', their strongest. In summing up. tins concert Was welt worthwhile, and will be remembered for a lona time.

Molotov to accept German Unity on Western terms.. TO CONFRONT They were prepared to confront the Soviet diplomatic chief with a two-part : program, offering to guarantee Russia against German aggression in future if Russia will agree to merge East and West Germany through nationwldelfree elections. The Western mlnitcrs are convinced a free German vote would be overwhelmingly anti Communist. Barring a reversal of established Soviet policy, Molotov was expect ed to insist that before Germany can be unified new conditions must be created In Europe by abolish ing the North Atlantic Alliance and building up a new European-wide security system. Theie appeared to be no pros pect of a compromise here be tween the Western and Soviet ap proaches. Tne conference which began here Thursday is an outgrowth of the Geneva summit meeting in July when heads of the four govern ments spent a week of cordial but highly generalized talk about Ger many and other world problems. It is also a continuation of nego tiations carried on at a foreign ministers meeting on Germany at Berlin In January-February, 1954. PINAY CHAIRMAN Pinay, whose government at Pa ris is threatened with dissolution Friday because of Internal French problems, was chairman for the opening session. But looming before the foreign ministers althouah not taken into account in pieconiercnce planning was the tear that Middle East tensions woula flare into full-scale shooting. v,ar. New frontier clashes between Israel and Egypt have heightened these fears, as did recent ship ments of Communist arms to Eg'.pt from Czechoslovakia.

N SHARETT FROM PARIS " j' Israeli Premier Moshc Sharelt headed here from Paris to make his own protest to Molotov and to press for Western arms and pro tection lor Israel. He comerred in Paris yesterday with Dulles and Macinillan. These two and Pinay were re ported to have decided agauisi rushing arms to Israel or formally guaranteeing its security at this time. They evidently hoped to re dress the situation by other means. The Western ministers have ar ranged to comer rcguiarlj among themselves in order to maintain the solid front they consider their greatest single source of strength .ii ucuuiig Willi me xiu&Aituis. The four ministers are meeting in the Council Room of the Palace of Nations, where the Big Four heads of government laid out gen eral objectives at a summit confer ence three months ago. It was that gathering of gsvern ment heads which developed, par ticularly between President Eisen hower and Soviet Premier Buigan- :n, the cordial relations and Dec larations for peace which have come to be knov-n the world over as the "spirit of Geneva." Now Dulled. Macmillan, Pinav and Molotov are putting that spirit tn the hard test of turning gener alities into concrete accomplish ments.

The vote on the 10th ballot was 30 for the Philippines and 24 for Yugoslavia. Three delegates were absent and three abstained. . The lllh ballot was unrestricted, or not limited to the Philippines and Yugoslavia. It failed, however. to produce any significant change. The vote was: Philippines 30, Yugoslavia 25, India 1, On the 13th ballot, also unre stricted, the Philippines received 32 votes, Yugoslavia 24 and In dia 2. Britain's Sir Plerson Dixon then proposed that the Assembly post pone further voting for 10 days, .The Assembly voted 21-18 In fa vor of Dixon's proposal and , the meeting was adjourned immed iately.
