Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, DECEMBER 29. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE FTVK Red Satellites Plagued With 'West Immorality' VIENNA I Alter a decide of control, the Communist govern ments of Russia's East European satellites confront a rash of moral problems which the Reds always like to ascribe exclusively to the West alcoholism. Juvenile delin quency and prostitution. Free love and sexual license have brought the satellites a har vest of high venereal disease rales, prostitution and promiscuity. Tie moral degeneration Is mir rored in occasional outbursts in the Communist press, and further documented and detailed by the reports of hundreds of refugees interviewed by Western agencies. Malayan Red Breaks Talks BALINO, Malaya WMalayan Communist chief Chin Peng stalked back into the jungle tO' day, breaking up the talks on am' nesty for -his forces to end Mala ya's 7'j years of guerrilla war. But in walking out, me 36-year-oid leader offered to end the light ins when an "elected" Malayan government takes complete control of Its military forces from the British, who are now waging much of the fight. Britain has promised independ once or .Commonwealth member ship eventually to the federation of Maiaya, now a protectorate wnn an elected legislature over which the British high commissioner has veto power.. The island crown colony of Singapore also has been given the same promise. Prince Abdul Rahman, chief Minister of the federation who led the negotiations with Chin, will go to London Jan. 1 to begin talks with the British gqvernment on Malayan independence. The Red offer to quit fighting appeared to give him a strong talking point. Chin rejected potntblank a' gov ernment demand for unconditional surrender of his 3,500 jungie sol- idlers, most of them Chinese. He declared adamantly as he left the English schoolhouse where the two- W... 4..1I.. 1 J 1 1 1 J . kmy wikb unu uccu iiciu. "We will never accept surrender at any time and will continue to itruggle to the last man." Peace Plan Progress Seen JERUSALEM M Blaming " both Israel and Egypt for the delay, tbe U. N. Palestine truce otoud has indicated that progress may be made soon on Secretary Cen tral Dag Hammarskjold's frontier peace proposals. In a communique,- . the truce group said further discussions will be held soon on Hammarskjold's plan. Tbe communique replied to an Israeli statement charging that -gypt naa reacted negatively to the proposals. The U, N. group said: "The government of Egypt has not yet formulated Its final posi tion on the secretary general's pro posals and considers the negotia tions still to be open." The communique said "prema ture introduction of questions be yond the scope" of the Hammar- skjold proposals by both Egypt ana Israel had "complicated ne gotiations and greatly delayed them." Hammarskjold's proposals, put forward Nov. 3, are reported unof ficially to call for: 1. Completion of the marking of the border of the El Auja-Nlzana cone. 2. Evacuation, from the border area of Egyptian troops in excess of specific provisions of the armi stice agreement. 3. Replacement of Israeli mili tary forces in the zone by police men for the protection of Israeli settlers. Sexual promiscuity ranks with alcoholism and juvenile delinquen cy as a plague which the Commu nist regimes now want to curb. ' Mlada Front, organ of Czecho slovakia's Communist Youth League, says a three-month drive against drunkenness and prostitu tion in the Czech capital netted 56 boys and 13 girls under the age of 16. The morals picture is painted especially black in Bulgaria and Poland. Repatriates of Turkish origin say family life In Bulgaria had been sorely disrupted by emancipating youths from paren tal authority in favor of parly al legiance. They report illegitimate births are encouraged by granting support to unwed- mothers and their children, who are handed ovej to the state for a bonus. Hungarian press reports com plain that closing of brothels "did not solve the problem" there. The port of Szczecin (the for mer German Stettin ). Is perhaps the most Immoral city In Poland. Dance halls and cafes are crowded with willing pickups. Conditions prevailing in the camps for harvest and construc tion workers contribute to immor ality, as does the free-and-easy billeting provided youngsters at the big youth festivals. , In Lublin, Poland, an investiga tion revealed that hundreds of schoolchildren regularly drink alcohol. In Prague, the Czechoslovak press complains, "Totally drunken nighttime roisterers sleep hi stupor on the benches and tables of the central railroad station." : In Hungary, the . press com plains, "drunkenness spreads in our socialist society the anarchy and depravity of a bourgeois life. . . . Alcoholism is a curse." Local and partial prohibition of alcohol has been Instituted in War saw and Szczecin. Alcohol sales are barred In some cities on pay days and holidays. In Czechoslovakia a special gov ernment commission has been ap pointed to deal with the growing problem of adolescent crime boys and girls under 15. And in Mother Russia, hardly a week passes but the press demands stricter police action and new legis lation to cope with juvenile crime, which in some places has reached terroristic proportions. .OScTH V. LO.CLAIK, direc tor of Instructional materials for Klamath Falls public schools, will teach the adult evening clan in Audio-Visual Aids (Ed 435 G) beginning Monday, January ?. The course is one of four sched uled for Klamath County resi dents under direction of Gen eral Extension Division in, the Stete System of Higher Edu cation. Dr. Curtis Raid, head of the extension division's visual instruction department will assist in this course. Calmer Scores Federal Probe Into Nickel Policy CHICAGO l.fi . Insurance man William Baliner says a planned congressional investigation oi the governments nickel operation ui Cuba stems from what he called "a fight between would-be Interests and National Lead Co." Balmer commented to newsmen on reports that he was among those named for possible question ing by a special Government Ac tivities subcommittee which said it Intends to explore financial and legal details of the big govern ment, expansion program. Rep. Jack Brooks (D-Texl, head of the committee, said in Wash ington that Balmer's firm, Balmer & Moore of Chicago, receives two thirds of the insurance brokerage fee In connection with workmen s compensation Insurance on the project. Brooks described Balmer as a 'long-time political friend" of Ed ward F. Mansure, head of the Gen eral Services Administration, which is the government agency holding ownership of the nickel plant. ' Laubenfels Files First Candidacy SALEM OCI The first candidacy for the May 18, 1956, primary elec tion in Oregon was filed with the secretary of state here Wednesday. The candidate is P. M. de Lau benfels, Corvallis Democrat, who is running for state representative from Benton County. He ran for the same office two years ago,- but was defeated by Rep. Wayne R. Glesy, Monroe Re publican. Jurist Raps School Claim WASHINGTON I A high Jus tice Department official sas he doubts a state could sidestep the Supreme Court's school desegrega tion decree merely by changing the designation of Its schools from "public" to "private." The official said yesterday he believes a court test would upset any such plans If public funds were used to support the "private schools. He made this comment when asked about a proposal by Vir ginia's Commission on Public Edu cation to permit state sunsiay, through tuition payments, of pri vate schools. The official said racial integra tion is proceeding satisfactorily in the schools and added that, while this situation continues, he doubted I he government would initiate any cases aimed at speeding the process. . Any cases originating in the next several months, he said,' likely would come from parents who felt their child had been deprived of lis civil rights. He said such a case probably would have to so back to the Supreme Court tor a inline on what' constitutes, a reasonable time witnin ' wmca to acnieve in tegration. ' t Lane County Loses Bridges EUGENE ifi Lane County lost about two dozen bridges to raging flood waters last week. Miller Sor enson, county bridge department superintendent, reported Wednes- aay. He said crews are first replac ing bridges which serve areas for which there are no . alternate routes. In addition to bridges destroyed, others received damage to piling and otner supports, ne said. Meanwhile, civic officials here are hopeful of federal repair as sistance. Robert Jackson, manager of the local Red Cross chapter, said Ar thur M, Sheets, state civil defense director, is expected here this week to make a survey of flood damage to sewers, water systems and bridges. Jackson said this survey was requested by Gov. Paul Patterson as a basis for aeeking federal emergency restoration funds. Ralph Peterson, a county com missioner, said U. S. Army Engi neers have been asked for help in rebuilding a broken dike at Wil lamette City which resulted In flooding and damage there last week from the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. Robert F. Buck, of Seattle, re gional administrator of the federal Small Business Administration, said Wednesday that Lane County businesses are eligible for emer gency business loans to repair damage. .- "They've been over this five times." Balmer said. "Tills was bid on. We were the low bidders. . . . If we hadn't been low bidder. we wouldn't have gotten the busi ness. Referring to the nickel plant. Balmer said: "It appears to me the govern ment Is Retting ready to sell it mid a power play Is on. This is a light between the would-be Inter ests and National Lead Co." Balmer agreed Mansure was a ; lonR-tune friend. The government spctu 100 mil lion dollars to build the plant at Niraro, Cuba, during World War II. Shut down in 194 1, it was re-: activated in 1951, and now is being . expanded at a cost which Rep. Brooks estimated at 43 million dol- j lars. i National Lead Co. has manage-1 ment of' the expansion proKiam. The plant is being operated by the Nickel ProcessmR Co., a subsidiary I of National Lead. j The GSA. responding ato the j House committee plan (or invesli-1 cation, said m Washington, , "We have nothing to hide." ! Rep. Brooks said his committee ; is "interested in checking more ! closely the connection between Mansure. financier Louis Wolfson ! and Bnlmer. Wolfson has controlinir Interests in Merritl-Chapman & Scotl, a New York construction firm which Brooks said was made a lull part ner in the expansion program through the personal decision of Mansure. , Wolfson denied yesterday at Mi ami Beach that he had any con nection with Mansure. He said the subcommittee "should go ahead and investigate" the nickel plant if it "thinks there's anything wrong" in its expansion. t Food Spots EMBARRASSED LIVERMORE. Calif. tl Police Chief J. R. Michells was struck by a big truck and trailer as he stepped from a curb into the (ruck's path.
