Western diplomats said a broad hint has reached the Ameiican, British and French foreign minist ers here informally and indirectly from Russia's V. M,. Moiotov The suggestion was said to. be; Russia believes tension in the Middle East, can best be reduced if an early conference can be a r - ranged amGng the big powers, the Arabs and the Israelis. Russia, he indicated, will be ready to take part in such a, conference. Molctov was understood to-have mentioned the Idea, without elab orating on it, to Foreign Minister Moshe Sharet of Israel here last Mondr.y. Sbarctt presumably re layed it to the Western powers.

For a time it appeared that a hold order was to be placed on Mrs. Smith J for service of warrants charging j her with writing worthless checks s in California in 1947. Word was received here later i that the charge had been dropped. 1 This cleared Mrs. Smith and she was a- free woman. Wolf, who has admitted the siay-i ing, said he was "very surprised" at the murder trial verdict. i Humphrey Hurls 'Russianize' Charge Br LVLE DOWSING A charge that the Republican ad ministration in Washington is try ing to "Russianize" the American farmer was hurled Friday night by Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota when he addressed a Democratic dinner in the WStlard Hotel. While attacking the administra tion. Senator Humphrey verbally ploughed under the farm policies of Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson. The Minnesota lawmaker also lowered the boom on big builncss and the policies of Interior Secre tary Douglas McKay. His talk was considered the curtain raiser for Dcm0cmi ia Oregon. At the outset. Humphrey said his primary purpose in coming to Oregon was to attempt to bolster support for Senator Wayne Morse who presented him to the Klamath s getting Senator Mors oot of Washington wilt b I Ion of the major projects oi the l Local Loan Company, looking over office equipment and filing cabinets dragged from the building. The United Fund offices sustained smoke and water damage as well the California-Pacific' Utilities Company and Sullivan's f-ucnttufe Store. No estimate of the total 4msg was available. Union a voice in the affairs -of the region which lor long has-been! their sphere of influence. They re-i gard Communist arms-peddling and diplomatic dickering with thei Arab states as a dangerous intru sion. - Another major roadblock is that: the Arab states appear to be as unanimously and as hotly opposed! as ever to sitting down at the same conference table with their Israeli; neighbor-enemies. American, British and French S governments are. swapping views! on all aspects of the tense situa tion. One major issue, the inform ants said, is engaging their atten tion: K-United .Nations efforts "tail to keep the quick-shooting Israeli and! Egyptian- - aranea---apart-, :- should American, British and French; troops be sent to the frontier re gion to help keep the two slder apart? . Informants said the Question is being considered m the context of the American-Britisn-r-Tencn Gee- laration of 1950. The Western pow ers by. that declaration took themselves the role ot Middle East ern policemen. None of the Western powers want to send troops to Palestine. The action undoubtedly would be unpopular ta their home 'countries. m tile Midd!e East and with mos: SHOOTING HOURS OREGON Novtmber 7 OPEN CLOSE 6:17 . .4:54 .

Senator Humphrey eulogized Morse aj a great patriot and statesman. While discussing the plight of the American farmer. Senator Humphrey said: "The strength of America is not measured by the golden calf of the New York stock market. It's the farm Income that we should be concerned about. "Remember." he warned, "what happened In 1S2H when the price of stocks were up and the price of flogs were down. In the pas! three nd a half years, ten and SiUve b luiuidayd. e,terday a half billion dollars in farm axets, hogs dropped another dollar in price. It's true hogs can't vote, but they'll play an important part In next year'a political campaign. Our secretary of agriculture Tst Benson, is the most ex pensive speech maker in the court- try. Everytitne he talks, it costs the Americas farmera 100 million dollars."
