If
In The-
Day'slews
By FRANK JENKINS
Poor old Dulles is In more hot
water. Now It's the British that
are in his hair over his "brink ol
war" statement in a recent maga
zine interview. The venerable Lon
don Times says of his explanation
of what he said In the Interview
that his "footwork was good," but
it doesn't think much of what he
had to say. The equally ponderous
Manchester Guardian says:
"Dulles has again put both left
feet forward."
In the olden golden days when
Britannia ruled the waves she sent
her fleet boldly to any spot In the
world where trouble threatened
and told the troublemakers bluntly
to call it off or she d blow 'em
out of the water.
But In these more degenerate
days anything that sounds like a
firm policy upsets her no end.
I think myself that if Dulles
talked less he'd be better off.
..But in a situation, like this cold
war you just HAVE to let trouble
makers know you have guns and
If compelled to pull . 'em you're
GOING TO SHOOT.
That's the only language com'
munists understand.
Public officials, of course, face
a tough situation.
If they don't talk enough, we
accuse them of bottling up the
news. If they talk too much, we
jump down their throats because
uf what they said.
Theirs Is a rugged life.
Let's jump from politics to
economics.
The president of the National
Association of Home Builders ap
plauds today the reinstatement of
30-year, federal-insured mortgages.
But, he says, DOWN PAYMENT
requirements should also be re
duced. . . ,
On the other side of the fence,
a New York mortgage' banker
describes the return to 30-year
mortgages as "a temporary shot
in the arm which will have infla
tionary effect." Our economy, he
thinks. Is again approaching the
point where inflation is something
to be feared.
Let's look at the housing busi
ness from this angle:
When building is controlled by
the market that is to - say, by
supply and demand private indi
vidual uss their own Judgment as
to whether to build more nouses
for sale. If they think there is a
market for them, they go ahead
and build them and take their
chances on selling them.
If they can't sell them, they're
Just out, and that's that. The point
is that in a housing market con
trolled by supply and demand no
more houses will be built if the
people who are putting up the
money think the houses can't be
sold at a profit.
But
When the government is the con
trolling factor in the housing busi
ness POLITICS ENTERS THE
PICTURE.
In this particular Instance the
National Association of Home
Builders wants more homes built
on smaller down payments and
with longer time to pay out so
that its members can build and
sell more homes and make more
money.
After all. It's the GOVERN
MENT that is putting up the
money and if It turns out that
too many homes have been built
and they can't be sold at a price
that will yield a profit or break
even IT'S ONLY THE GOVERN
MENT THAT LOSES.
And
If in the meanwhile everybody
has made a lot of money building
and selling houses on government
credit, what difference does it
make If the government DOES
lose in the transaction? It's only
government money anyway.
That's one of the troubles with
blg-government-run-everything.

Flood Area
Residents
Start Work
YUBA CITY (UP) Nearly 3000
persons who evacuated a low-lying
section of Yuba City during
last weekend's flood threat began
returning to their homes today.
Civil Defense officials gave them
permission to return after Army
Engineers reported the rain-swoi
len Feather River had receded
nearly seven feet in 24 hours. It
was expected to keep dropping at
the rate of live feet a day.
At one time, the river was with
in a foot of overrunning the soggy
levee at Shanghai Bend, Just south
of Yuba City. This levee gave way
Dec. 24, taking tne lives of 34 per
sons. Since the Christmas week floods,
Army Engineers worked fervently
to patch up the levee. Last week
end, heavy rains again caused the
river to rise and officials ordered
the evacuation of one-third of
Yuba City.
BODIES FOUND
Many of the residents still had
not finished cleaning un and re
pairing me a a mace irom ine uec
ember flood when they had to pack
up and leave for a second time.
Meanwhile, the bodies of the 34th
and 35th victims of the Christmas
flood were discovered yesterday
The body of Mitsuma Yokohari,
34. a farmer, was found south of
the city limits. The body of Robert
Bartlett, 2o. was recovered later
in the day. He was last seen cling'
ing to a tree southwest of town
while attempting to flee the 'flood
waters.
The weatherman forecast light
rain north of San Francisco and
Sacramento today, but the dis
turbar.ee held no new flood threat
to Northern California.
' Four ' persons lost their lives in
Northern California last weekend
Damage in Marin County alone
was estimated at a half-million
dollars,
ROADS BLOCKED
Elsewhere, the roads to Stinsoh
Beach and Bolinas in Marin Coun-
ty were stlU closed to all but
emergency traffic as residents of
those towns began clearing away
debris left by mudslides.
An emergency water chlorlna
tion service was operating in Bol
inas to give the community a
safe supply of water. .
The Red Cross set up offices in
Tamalpals Valley, on the bay side
of Marin, where 300 persons, fled

view those who suffered flood dam.
age.
Residents of the - Merced area
announced plans to send cattle
to replace livestock lost by farm
ers In the Yuba City area. The
first shipments are expected to be
made in April.
A few miles downstream from
Yuba Cityf Army Engineers were
concerned about the fate of their
one million dollar dredge, Papoose
that was being battered by 16-mile-an-hour
river currents.
STILL MAROONED
The dredge, called in last month
to close a break in the levee, was
secured by cable to a double
anchor. Two tugs were standing
by in case the cable parted.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross sent
a helicopter from San Francisco
with food to the isolated Travis
Hunting Lodge in the rugged Bald
Mountain area of Mendocino Coun
ty, 11 miles north of Covelo. Seven
persons, including a 10-month-old
baby, have been marooned there
since the Christmas floods. '
Living on the ranch are Mr. and
Mrs. William T. McCullough, their
son and his wife, their baby grand
daughter, Janice, and two em
ployes. Owing to the washout of
a bridge, they have been unable
to leave since Dec. 21.
Peddicord

Douglas Airs
Huge Growth
At Hearing
ROSEBURG on Douglas Coun
ty's tremendous growth in recent
years was reflected in more than
a dozen reports from cities and
other local taxing districts at a
public hearing by the Legislative
Interim Committee on Local Gov
ernment In Roseburg Tuesday
night. All were suffering from
growing pains.
Most recommendations made by
representatives of the cities and
districts called for planning and
coordination to avoid future and
eliminate present overlapping of
taxing areas and ,to allow orderly
expansion.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Several recommendations called
for legislation preventing incorpor
ation or formation of taxing dis
tricts in fringe areas of already
incorporated areas which might
cause unnecessary duplication.
Only one request was made for
monetary aid. Supt. M. C. Deller
of the Roseburg school district
asked that school districts share
more in national forest and revest
ed lands money.
He and the other two men who
spoke on school needs requested
an equalization formula for the
state's school districts.
Two of the most' sweeping
changes were called for by John
Fleck, representing the Douglas
County Realty Board, and County
Commissioner Frank Ashley.
Fleck asked for legislation which
would transfer some of the tax
burden from real property possi
bly to personal property. Ashley
called for consolidation of taxing
districts such as flood control, fire,
sewer and water and dog control
under a single board of commis
sioners in, the, county. ,
FUTURE MEETINGS .. .
On Jan. 23. the vommttfee' will
meet in Corvallls. Then, on Feb. 6
and 7, it will be in Portland.
Tentative dates of March 1 in
Medford and March 2 in Klamath
Falls were also set. The commit
tee also decided tentatively to have
two hearings on the coast, one
possibly at Coos Bay and the other
at an undetermined site farther
north. It is also considering a date
in Eastern Oregon.

Red China Snubs Truce Plan
TOKYO W Red China Thurs
day rejected a U.S. proposal made
at Geneva that both sides fore
swear the use of force in the For
mosa area.
A Pelplng broadcast quoted a
Foreign Office spokesman as say
ing the proposal was made Jan. 12
and was the same as one turned
down by Red China last Novemb
er. , .
At the same time, Pelping let
loose a series of blasts at Secre
tary of state, Dulles. The spokes
man was Quotrri assaying Dulles
f"even renewed the clamor for an
atomic war against China."
Red China broke the secrecy
which both sides have been observ
ing on the substance of the protract'
ed talks at Geneva "so as to set
forth the stand of the Chinese
side," the spokesman said.
Pelplng gave the text of the
American proposal, which it said
was submitted by Ambassador
Alexis Johnson at Geneva, as fol
lows: "The United States of America
and the People's Republic of China
are'determlned that they will scttie
disputes between them through
peaceful gestures, and that, with
out prejudice to the Inherent right
of individual and collective sen
defense, they will not resort to the
threat or use of force In the Taiwan
(Formosa) area or elsehwere.
"The two ambassadors (John
son and Wang Ping-nan for Red
China) should continue their talks
to seek practical and feasible
means for the realization of this
common desire."
The spokesman said that "our
side absolutely cannot accept" the
idea that the United States has
"the Inherent right of individual
and collective self-defense" In the
Formosa area.
Red' China claims Formosa and
maintains that its "liberation" is
an Internal matter.
The spokesman reiterated that
Red China "will continue to strive
for the liberation of Taiwan by
peaceful means, so far as lt is

Big Three
Toughen Policy
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y, Ml
The United States, Britain and
France were expected to make
last-minute changes today to tough
en their proposed U.N. Security
Council resolution condemning Is
rael for Its Dec. 11 raid on Syrian
posts along the Sea of Galilee.
The sponsors of the Western pro
posal hoped to win approval of
their amended resolution at a coun
cil meeting this afternoon.
The Big Three worked out the
revisions in talks here yesterday
with Iranian Delegate DJalal Ab
doh. Informed delegates said Ab
doh wanted the Western resolution
stiffened to please Syria and to
"remove further ground for Soviet
propaganda" among Arab coun
tries.
The Iranian proposed that the
Big Three call for payment ol
compensation to Syria for her 66
soldiers killed In the attack and
for property damage. He also pro
posed that they delete a mention
of Syrian Interference with Israeli
activities on the Sea of Oalllee,
which lies within Israel near the
Syrian frontier.
Israel, which lost six men In the
raid, has said that Syrian firing
on her fishing and police boats
on the lake provoked the attack.
The Big Three revised their reso
lution to say that 8yrlan Interfer
ence with the Israelis "In no way
Justifies the Israeli action."
Delegates strld one further change
in the works would concern a follow-up
to see how the council's ef
forts to prevent further attacks
were being carried out.

day wearily battled swirling flames
and choking smoke that may con
ceal the bodies of at least 16 sea
men In a blazing tanker.
Loaded with a full cargo of 130,.
000 barrels of gasoline, kerosene
and fuel oil, the tanker Saldm Ma
ritime exploded late Tuesday night.
A crew of 41 was believed as
signed to the vessel. Cities Serv
ice officials did not know how many
were on boaid at the time of the
blast.
PIECES OF BODIES
Firefighters picked up pieces of
three bodies Wednesday morning
St. Patrick's Hospital here treat
ed eight seamen, one in serious
condition. A Cities Service work-,
er also was burned seriously.
A spokesman for Cities Service,
which owned the tanker, estimated
the missing at 30. A seaman, who
had been on board before the ex
plosion, put the figure at It.
The Salem Maritlme's blast set
two loading docks afire at the Cit
ies Service plant In Lake Charles,
about six miles from this city in
southwest Louisiana.
The ship and the docks were
complete loss. No damage esti
mate was given.
About 1.500 workers attempted to
douse the fire and succeeded in
confining the flames to the ship
and docks, away from the huge
adjoining oil refinery.
At 3 a.m., a tugboat surveying
the cracked, flaming salem Marl. .
time noticed a flashlight waving
at the rear. Pulling alongside, the
tug found tnree seamen, who
jumped overboard.
IDENTIFIED
The three Frank Toto. 95. of
Brooklyn, N.Y., George Emley. and
Fred Gentry (ages and addresses
unavailable) had lain trapped to
the tanker's engine room for four
hours. When gusts of wind shoved
flames away from their side of
the tanker, they climbed out of the
engine room and - onto the deck
where they signalled the tug.
Tne three were nospttallied for
shock and minor burns.
Earlier another tug had picked
up a trio who jumped into Laka
cnaries. i
Crewman - John Klepadlo ot
Avoca, Pe., one of those rescued
by the tug, said he was standing
on the fantaU' ot the shin with
two'other men,- but ' was-- trnabl
to give any account of them after
the blast. -
Klepadlo was quoted as saying,
"Anybody who was on that ship
after I left It Just won't be around
to talk about lt,"
No cause was given for the ex
plosion-. The tanker, loading In
three holds at the rate of 30,000
barrels per hour, had been loading
for more than six hours and was
almost full when the explosion tore
the vessel asunder and left it a
flaming hulk.
