uu ' ' ' - -,v . f In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Bulletin: Secretary of State Dulles has called ou Republicans as well as Democrats to avoid partisan quar rels over foreign policy. Ke tells a news conference In Washington this morning that such ouarrals MIGHT ENDANGER OUR NATION. A good example to follow In the case of foreign policy is provided for us by the average cantanker. ous American family. In the pri vacy of their own household, its members may quarrel and Bite and kick each other's shins. But when an outsider butts in they gang up on him. A thought in passing:. Our politicians have never quar reled much over the Monroe Doc trine. Why? The Monroe Doctfine was so soundly conceived and so admir ably tailored to America's best interests that no American has ever thought of questionmg its wisdom. That's the way foreign policy gjjojild be. Speaking of foreign policy, Krus chev and Bulganin are busily wooing India these days. Our old friend Informed Sources without whom we would miss a lot of what Is golug on says that under the Russian pattern that seems to be emerging India will PAY THE BILL for whatevor she gets from the communists. "I.F." says this morning that anv Russian machinery that comes to India will be a SALE on CRED IT. He adds that there will be NO GIFTS. . . I bate to admit it, but I can't help thinking that is a sounder policy than ours. Nobody was ever helped mucn by ijtvtnu nun something for free. More people have been ruined by loading them down with gifts than have ever been helped by that metnoa. , What you WORK FOR . AND EARN Is what does you HEAL good. The White House conference on education Is just getting under way in Washington, and the dis patches tell us this morning that the nearly 2.000 delegates are turn ing to the first of six big Issues that face them. Topic No 1 is: "What should our schools ac complish?" I'd like to suggest two simple answers: 1. They should provide our chil dren with a GOOD education, with- out too-many inns. ; 2. They should teach our" chil dren to THINK. In a sound-filmed (talkiqe mov ie message to tne .coiuerente, -prnciripnt. F.!unhower asserts that the federal government will have to step in, 11 necessary, to pre vent a lack of schools in (certain Jrnportant areas.' But-- Ua aririK "If we depend TOO MUCH on the federal government, we wilj lose inaepenaence ana uiiuawvc With Ike's second statement I'm m full agreement. If we depend too much on the federal govern ment to finance our schools, we'll soon find the federal government ntlNNINO our schools. As to his fif'i statement that (he federal government will have to sten in. if necessary, to pre vent n lack of schools in certain Important areas I'm extremely doubttui. If the federal government cam el ever gets its nose under the edge of the school tent, we'll be In for trouble. We'd better grit out teeth and pay our own school bills.

Four) Water Users Withdraw Protest The board of directors of the i Klamath Basin Water Users Pro-1 tective Association yesterday with - drew its opposition to the proposed 50-year extension of the contract between the California ' Oregon Power Company and the U.S. Bu reau of Reclamation on the-operation of the Link River Dam in Klamath Falls. The board took this action after It approved an agreement between the association executive commit tee and Copco on power rates for agricultural pumping for land out side of the Klamath Reclamation Project. Rates for projecj lands are covered in the USBR contract. A unanimous endorsement of the proposed interstate compact be tween Oregon and California on the use -of waters of the Klamath River was also voted by the board-, which pledged Its support of the compact in any public hearings and before the state legislatures and Congress. The compact must be approved by both the legisla tures and Congress before it goes Into effect. AGREEMENT ' The agreement on power rates calls for Copco and the association to jointly apply to the state public utilities commissions of California and Oregon for a rate reduction to seven and one half mills per kilowatt hour for non-project ag ricultural pumping use in the Klamath Basin. ' Copco, as part of the contract with the Bureau of Reclamation, agreed to apply for a six-mill rate for project users. Both rates would have to be approved by the two regulatory bodies before they would go Into effect, i Tha rata et l-tltl,.0 In aitnlv na,. ..... ...... ,u f" I Daily retains features of Copco was held In advance of a split up into round table discussion groups to take up specific school needs. Eisenhower summed up both ! sides of the explosive controversy t ever lederal aid to 3Chuo! in an address recorded at Gettysourg. Pa., and put bclore tjie delegates in a sound film las? night, "If we depend too much on out side help. Ujo much on the federal government, we will lose In dependence and initiative," he said. "But if the federal government doesn't step In with leadership and with providing credit and money where necessary, there will be a laci of. schools In certain linpor- lant aieaj. and this cannot be al-i low ed.' He said he didn't expect the delegates lo "find any easy solu Hons" to Uie problems of educa tion.

Under sohedule there are minimum rates set up based on tha horsepower of the pumps used, and also a sliding scale of rates based on the amount of power used. Under the rate which' will be applied for, the sliding scale, which ranges from four cents a kilowatt for the first 600 kilowatts down to six mills', would be eliminated and the seven and one half mill rate would be substituted. . BASED ON HORSEPOWER The -minlmums based on horse power would be retained for five years, and then would be cut in half. However, pumpers who be gin receiving electricity under the rates after the rate goes Into ef fect would have to- pay the full minimum under schedule 20" fori five years before coming under the reduced mlnimums, Minimums under schedule 20 are $14.40 per year for a one horse French Dump Faure Regime BULLETIN PARIS m The French Na tional Assembly Tuesday night voted Premier Faure oat of of fice, 318 to 211. PARIS, i.f) Premier Faurc's government appeared Tuesday to be doomed after Communist dep uties announced they would vote against him later Tuesday night on a vote of confidence. On two previous confidence vo!, both on a question of early elec tions, Faure had been kept in of fice only through the support of the big Communist bloc. The latest vote will- be his Cab inet's fifth confidence test In six weeks. - With an adverse Communist vole, there seemed to be no hope that he would survive. The resulting Cabinet crisis was expected to last several wcek:. with the next Cabinet to be only a temporary team to arrange for election of the new Assembly in the spring. A spring vote could be billed as a con, promise between the December dhte Fame sought and tne balloting which otherwise would come in June. Officially the vote was scnea uled on the auestton of the Assem bly's work schedule for this week. The House's Agenda Committee recommended that It deoate a mo tion by Francois Mitterrand, major supporter of former Pierre Mendcs-France, thai Fame's gov ernment la no longer capable of leading the country. Faure called for cancellation of this debate ko that discussion of the proposed new electoral law can go ahead without interruption Mendcs-France. like Faure a mem- ber of the Radical Socialist partv. end his aupporters want to aelay the elections to give them lime to marshal the voters behind the lormer Premier. . ...... . Faure already has lost on hid original request for elections in December. His last proposal was for a date In late January but that also seemed doomed. - - .. : - for-a larger ipump. Under the pro posed change.,',. the' lovyer rates,. would only apply Jpr -pumps of 10 horsepower, or more.; The agreement to appty for the lower rates was reached after Copco Vice President and General Manager John C. Boyle and the executive committee had held sev eral meetings together and after the power company had rejected an earlier proposal calling for peak and off-peak rates. Boyle in dicated (hat the power company's expenses In special metering equip ment made It desirable to elim inate such variable rates. APPROVAL Board approval lollowed a dis cussion of the desirability of add ing a requirement that the power company build distribution lines to all users who desire service re gardless of the expense Involved, but members of the board Indi cated that they felt that they had received all the concessions they could get from Copco. Delos IWhltey) Mills, of Macdoel, president of the Butte Valley Wa ter Development Association and Nplsnn Reri. chairman of the Ore gon Klamath River Commission, both observers at the meeting, said lhv fAlt thai. thft- mfoht hf nn- position to the proposed rate from users outside of the Klamath BaV sin, as the average rale pnld un der schedule 20 is 17.5 mills, 10 mills higher than under the pro posed reduction. . . Both said that any additional con cessions "might make It that much tougher" to get the proposal ap proved. INSTRUCTION 111 withdrawing lis objections to the proposed Bureau ol Reclama tion contract with the power com pany, the board Instructed Frank Z. Howard, association president, to write a letter to C. H. Spencer, regional director for Region II of the bureau, withdrawing opposi tion. The letter was lo slate Hint, the withdrawal was based on the agreement with Copco. In agreeing to support the pro posed Interstate compact, t h e board Instructed the executive committee to arrange for appear ances at public hearings and. If necessary, before the legislatures of Congress.

He said he, himself, is trying to avoid getting drawn into "what would reasonably 'oe considered a partisan position." NO INTENTION , Dulles said he has no present In tention of making Republican Par ty speeches In the 1956 campaign, v uut, he added, unspecified events could' change his mind. Dulles refused to comment on criticisms of Elsenhower adminis tration foreign policy made 1 by Adlal Stevenson, Gov. Averell Har riman of New York, and other top Democrats. The meeting with newsmen was Dulles' first since his return from the foreign ministers' conference at Oeneva. .
