Newspaper Page Textfo) 0 ra. In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, it seems probable that the Big Four foreign ministers meeting at Geneva will end in a stalemate, with nothing accomplished In the way of. bet ter relations between the commu nist East and the free "West. Throughout the sessions, Russia has stood stubbornly pat on the status quo which amounts to an armed truce. It doesn't sound very encourag ing. ; l But Let's not Jump to the conclusion that the conference was a ghastly failure and that the future of the world Is utterly black: This must be kept In mind: Geneva was a negotiating ses sion. . , ', ; This is the normal pattern of normal negotiation: 1 You try out a proposition on the other side. If it isn't acceptable, you don't reach for a gun and ,fHart shooting- You keep putting ' ''out test proposals until you arrive at an idea of what the other side might really be willing to do. Meanwhile; the other side has ben working on you according to the same pattern. It has been siz ing you up and deciding what von might be willing to' do in a given set of circumstances. -That is about what has been going, on at Geneva. The thing we must not lose sight of is that one negotiating session CAN be - followed . by an other. Negotiating is FAR cheap erin human life and human wel farethan shooting. Successful negotiating requires IMMENSE patience. But If the ob .. jective. of the negotiations is- an agreement that .offers attractive benefits to both sides it is quite often possible to make a deal that will be workable. In this particular case, inimi tably vas( benefits can accrue to both sides if a way can eventually be .-.found to avoid shooting war. Another world war which would Inevitably i n v o 1 V the use of atomic weapons could mean the end of the world. Dulles Plans TV Speech GETTYSBURG, Pa. Wl The White House announced Wednes day it has requested radio and tele vision time for Secretary of State Dulles to report to the American people on- the- Geneva-.conference - nfter his talks here wltlr President Eisenhower Thursday and Friday. James C. Hagerty, press secre tary, said he expects Dulles to de liver his report on the new dead lock between East -and West on Friday night from Washington. The announcement 1 came President Eisenhower, kept indoors by cold and rain, dictated letters and read at-hls -country home Because of the weather, the President dropped plans to open up shop in his new downtown Get tysburg office Wednesday. The bad weather also cancelled plans for Secretary of Commerce Weeks to fly here for a conference with Eisenhower. Weeks will come Thursday instead. ,; . ' Thursday shapes up as the busi est day for the President, in terms of official business, since his Sept. 24 heart attack. Besides conferring with Weeks he will see Budget Director Row land Hughes and take a personal hand in charting the government's spending course for the next fiscal year. Then at 4 p.m. Dulles is due in with a report on Geneva. Tlie Chief Executive's growing work schedule probably will take him to meetings ot the Cabinet and the National Security Council next week. Acheson Raps; ioyalty Plan WASHINGTON 1.1 A new attack on the government's loyalty-secur ity program came Wednesday Irom former Secretary of State Dean Acheson,, who charged the Eisenhower ' administration has magnified a "grave mistake" of President Truman into Moscow like purge tactics. . - Aclicson, a close friend of th-; former president, says In a new book "A Democrat Looks at His Party" (Harper ti Bros. S3) that Truman intended his 1947 order setting up the security projram to be carried out "with fairness and restraint" .but that the opposite has happened. "It warpmg effect." Acheson declared, "has gravely affected the liberty of the individual In and out ol government to think and speak us he pleases and to live and work in the creative atmosphere of free dom and erespect." Acheson says the Elsenhower ad ministration has sought in many Instances to impose "'bought con trol" on federal workers and he fays the attitude of Atty. Gen. Brownell "is unhappily typical of the authoritarian mind." Weal her FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Mostly cloudy with occa sional snow flurries Wcdnewiay niiht and Thursday.

Adlai Says Ike's Health Not An Issue CHICAGO KTI Adlal Stevenson said Wednesday it would be fool ish to say the people would not take Into account the survival chances of a presidential candi date, but he will not make healtli an Issue In his campaign for the 1956 Democratic nomination. Announcing that he will enter the March 20 Minnesota president ial primary, Stevenson answered a wide range of questions at a big , news conference. ' One of these questions con- I cerned the health of President El- 1 arnhnn,A anrt nf C A I, T tmHnn X Johnson of Texas, the Senate Dem ocratic leader. Both men suffered heart attacks in recent months. Stevenson said he hopes and prays Johnson's "misfortune' In no way limits his future activites or his. usefulness." "And the same goes for anyone else, specifically the President of the United States." Stevenson de clared. The former Illinois governor who was defeated for the presidency In 1952. said he could not speculate on the possibilities that Elsenhow er again will be the Republican candidate. Sen. Johnson . has been repre sented as working for a wide open Democratic nomination con vention, a circumstance that has convinced some of. Stevenson's friends that the Texas senator may not be In Stevenson's corner at that ' convention. Johnson la con sidered In some quarters as a pos sible candidate for the nomination. Stevenson said doctors told him after a recent semi-annual medical examination "that for one of my age I fas in better than normal condition" addlni -with a grin: "I have no excuses from now on." ; As expected. Stevenson an nounced the appointment ot James A. Finnegan. 48. secretary of state of Pennsylvania,' as (lis campaign manaaer. . ' '', ---i- . Hyman B. . Raskin. 46-year-old farmer deputy.. Pcuioorattc nation al chairman. Was ..named execu tive director of the Stevenson cam paign. Stevenson said that Stephen A. Mitchell, former jjemocrauc n.an.i chairman, and Wilson wvntt. Stevenson's 1952 campaign said he had written the Minnesota State Central Committee of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party accepting the group's Invitation to enter the primary in mat siaie. He said that was the only firm decision made thus far on pri maries. ' Asked if Sen. Estes Kefauver would be acceptable to htm as a vice presidential running 'mate, Stevenson replied that the Tennes see senator Is "eminently qualified for exalted public office Indeed he already holds one." HEARING SACRAMENTO (UP The state Reclamation Board today set a public hearing for Dec. 12 In Los Banos to consider the adoption o. a revised substitute plan for flood control on Ihe San Joaquin Hlver between Frlant Dam and the mouth of the Merced River. 33 To Reach Agreement GENEVA Mt The Big Four foreign ministers conference ended Wednesday with Russia and the Western powers more deeply divi ded than ever over the great vital problems of German reunification." and European security. Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, chairman of Ihe final session., brought the conference to a close' at about 6:40 p.m. In almost 60 hours of debate over three weeks, the Big Four had failed to make substantial progress on a single major issue before them. The Western ministers blamed an unexpected hardening of Soviet policy for the breakdown. Molotov blamed the West. The four had begun their talks -Oct. 27 in the warm glow of hope created by the "spirit of Geneva" which flourished during and after" the Big Four summit meeting here in July. WINTER They ended In the bleak, cold of -an alpine winter night without agreement even on plans to meet again. The possibility of another ' conference was left up to future negotiations through diplomatic channels. 1 , , . U, 8. Secretary of State Dulles planned to be the first of the four to leave Geneva. He ordered his -plane made ready for an overnight -flight to Washington. The final meeting was devoted to a round of summary speeches, aft er the ministers had agreed on a ' terse communique, which merely 1 confirmed their lack of agreement and said that each would report to his chief. !-..- v . In the final statements: Dulles accused Soviet Premier Bulganin of having apparently sent Molotov here with orders not to negotiate seriously . on German unity. He said the Soviets seemed to be afraid free elections In Ger many would threaten their hold on Eastern Europe. He promised the United states would continue to., work for peace. i British Foreign Secretary Mac- MUlan said -the Soviets had ap proached the whole German prob lem from the "wrong and wicked principle" that people should not have freedom to choose their own. destiny through free elections. - French Foreign Minister Plnay said Soviet policy was aimed at dissolving the North. Atlantic Al liance and solidifying the division of Germany. An Indefinite division ' of Oerrrtany,-he aald', will lead pre' cisefy to what the Sovfets say they most fear " rebirth of German -nationalism and militarism.'! ; Dulles, who is to report to President- Eisenhower .Thursday, said the President has "closely followed this conference on. a day to day ' basis. ANALYSIS Elsenhower," he went on, "will evaluate its results against the background of his vast knowledge and abhorrence of war and hi-. dedication to the cause of a Just and durable peace." Dulles said he thought that the Geneva meeting had not been wholly barren." And he expressed hope for better results In the fu ture, saying that after long year In International diplomacy he is not "easily discouraged. ' The government and people nf the United States," Dulles told - Molotov, "want to develop better relations with the Soviet nation. 'Our hope for the future derive from our belief that the Soviet gov- -ernment will sooner or later come to Bee that the advantage to lt in belter relation with the Western -power I far better than local and passing advantages which It could gain at the price of forfeiting the good relations which at the Summit ' conference the Soviet rulers seemed to want." - The West, In the closing hours, - turned down flatly a statement by " Molotov which he had proposed on European security. The Molotov statement set forth those provisions for a European ' security pact which both sides had agreed were desirable. But it omit- . ted mention of the unification of Oermany which the West considers of first Importance to security. Marines Killed In Maneuvers CAMP PENDLETON. Calif.
