U OF ORSaOS LIB.1ARX EU3ENE, ORE. In The- 117 rx Day's lews MS www..'j.-'i.".)i.iiiiiiiWMiiiiiw.iiiii.iwit'.wu nmk'''f1IWWWWmnWWW I By FRANK JENKINS In his Christmas message, which was broadcast by Radio Free Europe, President Eisenhower Lpoke ot prayers for FREEDOM in Eastern Europe. It roused the ire of Communist Party Boss Kruschev, who called it "crude interference in the in ternal affairs of communist na tions," and added: "To pray for a change of, regime in the PEOPLE'S DEMOCRACIES only leads to Incitement of pas sions and a stepping up of the armaments race." Comment? Let William Shakespeare provide it (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 2): "Let the Railed Jade wince; our withers are unwrung." One can hardly blame Kruschev for blowing his top when the lead er of the free world expresses the hope that the people of the com munist despotisms may eventually gain their freedom. . Having been smart enough to battle his way to the top of the communist party heap, he must be smart enougn to Know mat bus sia's greatest weakness lies in the fact that communism is o foul that in time It must fall of the weight of its own foulness. Kruschev speaks of the commu nist "people's democracies." Shakespeare handles that one pret ty well, too. He says, in Romeo and Juliet: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose "By any other name would smell as sweet." The Bard of Avon might have added: , A skunk by any other name would smell as foul. Tory's political note: President Eisenhower for a sec ond term is being discussed by Pennsylvania Republican leaders at a meeting today in Harrisburg, the state capital. The GOP state chairman says there is a lot oi Republican sentiment to put Eisen hower on the party ballot in Pcmv sylvania's Presidential preference primary next April. . Why? The answer is simple. The OOP politicians would like to ride into office on Ike's coat- tails. I can -think of nothing that would be more wonderiul for our country and the world than Ike's complete return to robust health thus enabling him to be come a candidate lor a second term. But the decision is his AND HIS ALONE because it is HIS LIFE ' that is at stake. I can't work up ' much enthusiasm for the Republi can politicians who are trying to crowd him into a decision TOO EARLY for the state of his health to be known so that they can ride .into oulpe, on his bandwagon,. . Speaking of Republican politi cians, senator John Butler of Mary land predicts this morning that congress will vote as early as April or May to cut income taxes. He figures the cut may be as much as 10 per cent and says that a tax reduction measure will prob tibly be the only important new bill passed in the coming session. Fine, Senator. Feeling as you do, I assume that you will assume leadership of a determined movement to CUT bfending by at least 10 per cent. Or will you? Cynical note in the news: The British foreign office In Lon don says today that 190 World War 2 Valentine (British) tanks have been given to Belgium in thf last four months. The idea fas to melt them up Into scrap Iron as raw material for Belgian steel mills or to convert them into tractors to be used in tilling Bel gian farms.

Local Red Cross Authority Begins Flood Relief Drive Following convincing evidence that the people of Oregon are anx ious to help in the current flood disaster in this state and in Cali fornia, authorization for conducting an immediate special Red Cross disaster fund appeal has been re ceived from Walker L.! Millner, area manager of the American Red Cross. Pacific Area Office, San Francisco. The authorization and appeal for the drive was received by Otto Smith, disaster chairman of the Klamath County Chapter, Red Cross. Smith, in announcing the plan to ask for voluntary contributions here, said that no quota has been assigned. All contributions may be sent or left at Red Cross head quarters, in the Klamath County Library building, Third and Klam ath streets or dropped into the "Disaster Bucitet," which will be circulated among local civic-organizations. Bonn Leader Cites Policy t"-':f -i ' -"""' " ' 'BONN', 'Germany li JV- Chancel lor Adenauer said Thursday West German policy In 1956 will give priority to reunification of, Ger many; European unity and flgnt ing Communist infiltration. In a year-end message to his Christian Democratic Party (CDU), Adenauer declared: "Communism still is the great est danger threatening the free dom and culture of all free na tions." He emphatically rejected any idea of neutralizing Germany as the price of reunion. "Reunification in a neutralized, and therefore Isolated, Germany would be a reunification under Communist symbols," he warned. The Soviet Union wants to ex tend its "so-called progress" to West Germany, he said, and it alms at Die bolshevlzation of the whole of Germany. "Despite all the friendly ges tures and coexistence propaganda, the Soviet leaders have not given up in the least their thoughts of victory and Communist mastery of the world." Adenauer declared. "Neutralization of Germany would not only be the beginning of the end of all German, but also of all European, freedom." Adenauer called on churches, po litical parties and civic institutions to throw up a spiritual bulwark against Communist infiltration. For this, he said, a knowledge of dialectical materialism and Com munist methods is necessary. President Relaxes; Turns To Landscape By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH KEY WEST. Fla. The sun played hide-and-seek behind rain clouds Thursday and President Ei senhower turned to Indoor painting of a Colorado mountain scene. The President came to Key West from Washington Wednesday to soak up some sunshine and build his strength for resumption of a full work load next month. He got in some outdoor activity even hit ting a few golf shots shortly after arriving, and that pleased his doc tors. But it rained most of the night, and the skies were still overcast when Eisenhower got out of bed. But after breakfast, while he paint ed in the first floor study of nis naval base living quarters, the sun came out. ACTIVITY The President's activity on gov ernment business was at a mini mum Thursday. Following doc tors' orders to get more exerci.se. he started right In Wednesday adcr bis arrival from the caoital. , After lunch and a nap. he prac ticed golf shots tor about 30 min utes on the baseball diamond do;.? by his living quarters on the naval base here. Then he took an hour long stroll, visiting a dock where a number of submarines were moored. He showed special interest in one of the subs, the Ambtrlack. which right after World War II was skippered by his naval aide Cmdr. Edward L. Beach. Beach, who was along on the walk, described The disaster bucket wi;h Its slo gan. "Flood the Bucket for Flood Victims," received generous dona tions from the Toketee Lions Club last night. One hundred and thirty trained disaster staff members under su pervision of national headquarters are at present working in the flood areas. It is anticipated that an additional 70 Red Ci'oss workers will be assigned. Sixty shelters are now operating housing and feeding projects car ing for. an excess of 20.000 people. Millner, in his report to Smith, stat ed that more than 6,000 families will require long term Red Cross assistance and that $5 million will be required to discharge Red Cross responsibility. Smith called an emergency board meeting on Wednesday to draft an appeal to me racmc area on ice for immediate help for Oregon flood sufferers. " Attending that meeting were disaster chairman Smith. John Heyden. committee chairman; Bill Ganong, vice chair man, Loren Dalcour, treasurer; Dick Gallagher and Warren Ben- net, directors. Also present was Virginia Dixon, executive secretary of the Klamath County Red Cross Chapter. Eighty per cent of money, given to, tbe Red ' Cross goes for reh billtation of families. Disaster workers investigate every appeal for help and ' the assistance pro gram is operated on a case work er basis. Red Cross aid goes only to those persons with no resources. Approximately $3 million is allo cated from the annual Red Cross drive for disaster needs which in a normal year is no more than Is needed. The year of 1955 with the great spring floods in the Northeast and the West Coast floods this month has been a crisis year, Smith stat ed, and many mere millions have been required for assistance. Smith stated that the Red Cross stands by in disaster emergencies until every lamny mat nas sui- fered loss has been restored to normalcy. He made an appeal for residents of the Klamath Basin to give gen erously. Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Fair through Friday ex cept patchy low cloudiness and foe, clearing at night.

At the same time, representa tives of federal and state agencies and of private groups fanned out over the state to assess the dam age from the torrential rains and floods. . . The floods took a total of 66 lives in California- and caused damage estimated at not less than $100,000,000. Another 13 died in Oregon. With the flood waters ebbing In most areas, the remaining danger point was still the delta area through which the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers emptied into San Francisco Bay. . LEVEES HOLDING So far, the levees were holding. Flood officials were hopeiul the danger would abate after today, Another trouble spot was near the hamlet of Verona.- some 18 miles south of Yuba City, where the Feather River Joins the Sac ramento River. There the high waters threatened to collapse a levee holding back a 300-foot wide drainage canal. . . . Another flooded area was the town of Alvlso on the southeastern shore of San Francisco Bay. A high tide backed up the rain- swollen Guadalupe River, forcing a steady two-inch flow through a 30-foot break in a levee guarding the town. At last reports, some low sections' of the town were under four feet ot water. GUARDS ON DUTY 15 i In Yuba City, the 10.000 residents who fled for their lives last Satur day when the Feather River broke through a levee were returning to their homes.

Soil Bankino Okay Voiced PORTLAND iiP Four top Western Grange leaders voiced tentative approval Wednesday of the soil bank plan, but announced opposition to a proposed rail rate cut on dressed meats shipped west of the Midwest. Henry Chrtstensen, Colorado Grange master, disclosed the de cisions after a .session with Grange masters of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. He said thpy could not give spe cific endorsement of the soil bank plan that the Elsenhower adminis tration is expected to introduce at the coming congressional session, because details are not known. But he said they feel they "car, go along with the proposed poll bnnk plans as a last resort pro vided more land is not brought in thrcueh reclamation and irrigation to replace the soil bank acres." The soil bank plan is Intended to remove surplus farm lands from production with farmers getting payments for retiring the land. Chrlslensen also said Grange members of his state oppose flex ible price supports "because they flex farm prices down to 15 per cent of parity while prices of the things we buy have gone up to 130 per cent of parity." Counts levee break in the hope ot elimi nating the so-called "Shanghai Bend" which was indirectly blamed for the levee's failure.

Khrushchev Open Skies MOSCOW Ifl Niklta Khrush chev Thursday accused President Eisenhower of "crude interfer ence" in the affairs of Communist nations, and dismissed his open skies arms inspection as "nothing more than military Intelligence." He boasted that the Soviet hy drogen bomb "can be considerably increased in power." At the same time he criticized Secretary of State Dulles as "advocating massive re taliation and other absurdities." The Communist Party o h 1 e f spoke for two hours before the Supreme Soviet (Parliament). "Some Western politicians have a strange idea of the Geneva Oregon Sets Flood Area Restoration By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The long road to restoration of Oregon's flood-hit areas was being plotted Thursday, 1 Gov. Paul Patterson asked Presi dent Eisenhower for (1,650,000 In federal funds. He promised ' that all available state, county, and local funds would be used. While local road systems, espe cially In the southwestern part of the State were hard hit, R. H. Hal dock, state highway engineer, said the state system suffered only about S250.000 damage. Of this, about 1100,000 was to the Coast Highway, he said. The Coast Highway was reopened Thursday as Coqullle River flood waters receded, The highway had been closed by water between Co qullle and Bandon.

VAST EXPANSES Vast expanses of water still spread out over lowland fields but the danger of more flooding ap peared definitely ended for the present. Not a single river reporting sta tion had rain In the 34 hours to 4:30 a. m. Thursday, and cold temperatures put an end to any snow melt. The Coquille River was down six feet from Its crest. The Willam ette at Corvallls dropped 3.1 feet In 24 hours and dropped 1.6 feet at Portland. , Billy Neal, 8, one of the three survivors of the slide at Remote which claimed five lives Monday, was relcnsed from the hospital. He went to the home of an aunt, Mrs. Albert Strain, in Roseburg. While the general return of evac uees to their flood-hit homes con tinued, there were many families who waited for a further drop in the water or who had to look for new homes. DEMANDS Relief agencies were making on-Ihc-spot checks to estimate the de mands to be placed upon them and to prepare to meet them. The Red Cross was preparing to spend five million dollars in the California Oregon flood region. Civil defense workers took over much of the task of surveying damage. Gov. Patterson, In advising the President Wednesday that he was going to ask for federal rehabilita tion money, said 1,600 homes farms and businesses had suffered damage.

Khrushchev said he spoke crit ically of Elsenhower "most unwill ingly" because he respected the President "so much." But, he de clared, the President's Christmas message to the people of Eastern European Communist nations "Is quite incompatible with the Ge neva spirit." BROADCAST ' This referred to a.

Union that the new Rus sian weapon "was equivalent to many million tons of ordinary ex plosives." He said that . although "we do not want to boast about our mili tary and technical strength," he -wanted to remind the West about the test explosion. "The power of this weapon was equivalent to many million tons of ordinary explosives and it can be considerably increased," he added. "People who are trying to Increase tension should remember the re sults of this test." (The telephone line over which part of this story was dlotated was broken by the Soviet censor for five minutes after mention was made of Khrushchev's statement about the H-bomb.) ' Khrushchev followed Premier Bulganln to the rostrum. Both speeches bristled wth attacks on "Western colonialism." , CONTENTIONS On the Middle East Khrushchev put forth these contentions: 1. The Baghdad Paot violated the Geneva spirit and was signed almost before the Ink on the Ge neva agreement was dry. Turkey Is "mistakenly linking her fate with the aggressive Baghdad Pact." 3. The Soviet Union sympathizes with the desire of Arab nations to win and maintain independence. Jordan Is the latest example of Western efforts to Involve Arabs "In an aggressive military bloc." 3. "From the first day of its ex istence, the State of Israel has been taking a hostile, threatening posi tion toward Its neighbors. Imper ialists are behind Israel, trying to exploit It against the Arabs for their own benefit." Red Charges Surprise U.S. WASHINGTON MS United Slates officials were astonished at Niklta Khrushchev's direct attack Thursday on President Elsenhow er. They thought this action by a top Soviet lender may mean tne development of a still tougher line in Russian foreign policy. Experts here found it significant, moreover, that the immediate rea son for the personal attack was a ratner routine Christmas message in which Eisenhower spoke of pray ers for freedom In Eastern Europe. Khrushchev's attack on the President indicates the satellite front is an extremely sensitive ono for the Soviets. This in turn sug gests they may In fact be con fronted with greater problems of maintaining Communist control there than the West knows about in detail. Authorities were not particularly Impressed Initially by Khrush chev's boasts of more powerful atomic weapons.
