Day's lews
Bjr FRANK JENKINS
There i trouble ill over the
world.
Greece wants to annex the is
land of Cyprus which Is owned
by the British, who took it over
a long time ago from the Turks.
But its population is heavily Creek
and the Greeks in Cyprus want
Greek rule.
At the moment, an anti-British
strike has just about paralyzed
commercial life in the Mediterran
ean island.
A little farther to the east along
the shores of the Mediterranean,
the Israelis and the Arabs are
at each other's throats. At the
moment the communists, led by
Russia, are providing the Arabs
with guns. The Israelis are Insist
ing that we provide them with
guns so that they can bold their
own against the Arabs.
Shooting could start there at any
moment. If it starts, nobody knows
where it will stop.
Along the Mediterranean shore
of Africa the French are having
plenty of grief. The French who
have settled there over the gen
erations want to run the show. The
descendants of the natives who
were there when the French came
WANT TO RUN THE SHOW.
Plenty of blood is being spilled
in Africa and in Paris the already
shaky and insecure French gov
ernment is being practically rent
asunder by disagreements as to
what should be done about it all.
And so on all over the older
world especially in Asia, where
more or less everybody seems to
be more or less against everybody
else.
And we're in the middle of it
all. Above everything else in the
world, we want peace but- at
huge expense we have to keep pur
selves ready to go to war at the
drop of a hat.
Nobody is happy about the situ
ation but the communists.'
It's duck soup for them.
There are times when it looks
like the world is getting ready to
tear itself to pieces, with every
body butchering everybody else.
But 1
Do you reckon it's as bad as it
looks?
I wonder. "
The pages of history tell us there
have been few golden eras of
peace in the world. Always, some
where, there has been war and
bloodshed. Always, somewhere,
somebody has been doing some
body else dirt.
Always, somewhere, AMBI
TIOUS MEN HAVE BEEN
REACHING FOR MORE POWER
which lies at the root of a lot
of our trouble.
I know it sounds bad now.
But there are two reasons for
that. One Is that it is happening
in OUR TIME. This historic trou
ble happened a long time ago.
The other reason lies in our
fabulous -modern .communications.
In the olden, golden days, we
heard very little beyond the bor
ders of our home county.
Now
Every time a pin drops
It's heard around the world.
Let's turn from the troubled
world to the fortunate 1 a m a t b
Basin where a lot of our dreams
are beginning to come true.
It looks like we're finally get
ting our water NAILED DOWN,
so that nobody can lake 11 away
from us. It looks like we're on the
eve of getting our great river de
veloped which will provide us
with power for new industries and
will commit our water to COM
PLETE beneficial use.
New industries are BEGINNING
TO COME. Johns-Manville. one of
the nation's largest rpanufacturing
corporations, is the first to make
use of our jackplne. There will
be others for jackplne is a NEW
RAW MATERIAL In the West,
and we have a lot of it.
The Klamath Basin is finally
coming into its own.

Defense Secretary
Lauds US Potential
WASHINGTON W Secretary
of Defense Wilson declared Tues
day that American "capability of
inflicting vast destruction" on any
aggressor "cannot be thwarted. "
He said the United Slates "is
sure to surpass its potential ene
mies" In some aspects of missile
development. But he added that
"from time to time they will sur
pass us in other individual re
spects." Wilson said in a speech to the
National Pres Club that the "real
fundamental" in the world today
is that the United States now has,
and will have for the foreseeable
future, "the capability of inflicting
vast destruction upon any oggres
sor anywhere In the world. Tnis
capability cannot be thwarted.'
The defense secretary asserted
that this American retaliatory
force can be applied "regardless
of a massive surprise attack on
our country and regardless of de
fensive maneuvers of the aggres
sors." In an apparent reference to cur
rent Democratic criticism of the
administration's defense program
and claims that the Soviet Union is
ahead in new weapons, Wilson de
clared: "No Tecent development

Thornton Rules
On Districts
SALEM There is no limit
on the number of elections thai
can be held to dissolve sanitary
districts. Ally. Gen. Robert Y.
Thornton ruled Tuesday.
The Green Sanitary District in
Douglas County, he said, has held
t,wo dissolution elections, and an
other petition for dissolution is
about to be filed. The district has
no tax money to pay for another
election.
Thornton also ruled that there is
no way to make the petitioners pay
for the election, so the cost will
have to be paid by the district. The
district will have to solve the prob
lem of how to do it.

States ability to hit back decis

i The secretary also argued
1 against those, like Sen. Russell
1 D-Ga. who would give the Air
Force more money this year to
j buy bombers and develop missiles.
I Russell nas suggested adding lj
! billion dollars to the Defense budg
et for these purposes.
Without mentioning any adminis
tration critics by name, Wilson
stated i
"There does not appear to be any
need to importantly increase the
defense budget above the figures
currently before Congress."
He asserted that if the money
provided in the military budget is
properly spent, it will be "suffi
cient to effectively carry out the
military programs and force levels
that have been recommended by
the chiefs of staff and approved by
the President."
Wilson taid attempts to make

sons of U. S. and Russian mili

count differing Soviet and Amerl

Senators Clash Over
Segrega tion Ruling
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A North-South debate in Con
gress, another U.S. Supreme
Court order in the segregation
field, and the expulsion of a White
Citizens Council leader from the
University of .Alabama highlight
latest developments In the nation's
complex racial situation.
Verbal fireworks were set off
In the Senate yesterday when
Sen. George (D-Ga formally pre
sented a Southern manifesto which
he said had been carefully pre
pared by Southern, leaders. It was
signed by 19 senators and 81
House members from 11 stales.
THE DOCUMENT
The document declared the high
tribunal's decision on liay 17,
1954. outlawing segregation in the
public schools was "a clear abuse
of judicial power" and it pledged
the signers to do everything le
gally possible to overthrow the
court's ruling.
The Supreme Court handed
down another unanimous order on
segregation. The court ruled that
tax - supported universities must
admit qualified Negroes to gradu
ate schools, without delay.
The court held In effect that
graduate schools are not subject
to the transition period permitted
In the decision ordering desegre
gation of public schools.
The action overturned a ruling
Lof the Florida Supreme Court
denying a Negro. Virgil D. Haw
kins, admission to (lie law school
of the all-white University of Flor
ida. The court said that Its edict
for "all deliberate speed" for end
ing segregation In public schools
"had no application to a case in
volving a Negro applying for a
mission to a state law school."
There was no immediate com
ment from University of Florida
oiliciats.
In the wake of the' Supreme
Court ruling, a small group of un
identified young men burned a
cross seven feet high in front of
the university's law school last
night. A student bystander said
those who Ignited the blaze looked
like underclassmen.
PLEDGED
Gov. Leroy Collins pledged to
do all possible to prevent integra
tion and said he would not hesitate
to call the State Legislature into
special session if that "can im
prove our situation."
Tiie University of Alabama at
Tuscaloosa expelled Leonard R.
Wilson. 20 - year . old sophomore,
for participation In the mob action
against Autherine Lucy, the.
school's first Negro student. He
also was accused of making false
charges against university offi

. WASHINGTON (sV-Sen.
Humphrey (D-Mmni talked today
ot circulating a declaration sup
porting the Supreme Court's
school integration decision to
counter a. Southern "manifesto"
attacking the ruling.
Humphrey said, "It certainly
seems to me that a statement of
support for the decision of the
court Is valid and desirable." He
told an interviewer he thinks soine
action of that kind may be taken.
He said he believes far more
than the 19 senators and 81 House
members who signed the Southern
document would be willing to sign
a ecia ration mat tne court s or
der outlawing the segregation of
wmte and Negro public school
pupils is the law of the land and
should be enforced.
However, Sen. George (D-Oa)
said in a separate interview that
'if any vigorous effort is made
to use force to carry into action
the Supreme Court's decree. It is
going to result in a desperate situ
ation." He cautioned further:
MATTER PRESSED
If this matter is pressed it will
result in some states going out
of the public school business. Un
less there is a reasonable
approach to this problem by men
and women of good will that may
be the result.
George headed a group of Dixie
lawmakers wno lormauy present
ed to the Senate and House yes
terday a declaration that called
the court' 1954 decision "a clear
abuse of judicial power" and chal
lenged it as not being m compli
ance with the Constitution.
Sen. Russell . (D-Oa), who di
rected drafting of the manifesto.
said he knows of no organized
plan to use the Southerners' pow
er in congress in etiorts to re
verse the supreme Court's ruling
-The " munliesto was signed by
four Republicans, Representatives
Jonas of North Carolina, Cramer
of Florida and Poff and Broy
hill of Virginia. But not all South
ern Democrats were for it.'
Rep. Chatham (D-NC) said he
thinks the resolution "may do
more harm than good."
FINAL LAW
"I've been raised to believe the
Supreme Court is the final law
of the land, ' he said. "There is
toov much passion and prejudice
and this will fan that."
A side controversy -developed
last night when Rep. Bass D-
Tenn), a signer of the manifesto,
said it was his impression from
cloakroom talk that the document
was "designed to reelect Sen.
George." Bass attributed a simil
ar point of view to Russell, but
Russell said later: "I never made
any such statement."
George was not Immediately
available for comment.
A veteran of more than 33 years
In the Senate, George may run
into lit ift primary opposition this
year. Former Gov. Herman Tal
madge is expected to be his oppo
nent. Talmatige Is an outspoken
advocate of racial segregation.

congressional leaders, confident the

said that once the Senate bill
reaches the House, he will seek to
use a short-cut technique to get ap

He explained this will Involve an
effort to have the House substitute
the Senate bill for its own, and
to Instruct the House conferees to
support flexible price support pro
visions in conferences with the
Senate.
OTHERWISE
"Otherwise we might have to
wait three weeks, with all the
wrangling in conference," Martin
said.
"This way. we can art heln to
the farmers quickly. Even the peo
ple wno want rigid supports
wouldn't object to this, I think. If
they really want to aid the farm
ers."
