U OP 0HS30N LIBRARY coap MWIX la The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, President Eis enhower is addressing Iowa farm ers at the national plowing con test at the little town of Newton which is located in one of the most productive agricultural areas " in the world. He will tell the Iowa farmers in substance that American agriculture is presently out of kil ter due to the fact that as a whole it is producing more than can be sold to consumers. As a result. surpluses are piling up. He will add that the objective of his administration is to reduce production ' to the point where these surpluses will begin to SHRINK instead of growing stead ily from year to year. His theme will be that as long as increasing surpluses hang over the markets ; like a dark thundercloud Ameri can a g r i c u 1 1 u r e will be DEPRESSED. Hit appeal for farm votes will be based on that thesis, y Tomorrow Adlai Stevenson will address these same farmers at the same place. HIS theme assuming that his speech will be based on the 1956 platform of the Democratic party will be that the American farm er is facing ruin if the policies of the Eisenhower administration are continued and that the way to help the farmer is to pay him STILL HIGHER subsidies. He will soft-pedal, of course, the fairly obvious fact that higher subsidies will encourage STILL MORE PRODUCTION and still more production will add to the surpluses instead of cutting them ' down. If he follows meticulously the text of the Democratic platform (which I doubt) he will tell his hearers that the Democrats, if given control of the Presidency and the congress, will put into effect a food stamp system under which needy people will be able to get food for free. In this way, he will contend IF he touches at all on the food stamp program that consumption will be in creased and in that manner the surpluses will be reduced. It will be along these lines that : Mr. Stevenson will appeal for the votes of farmers at the coming i, election. These Iowa farmers, assembled - at Newton, will listen first to Presi- dent Eisenhower and then to Mr. J Stevenson. They -wall ' listen re-' 1 spectfully, because they know that ' President Eisenhower and Mr. Ad - lai Stevenson are the kind of men whose views are entitled to a re- jpeetful hearing. , And Besides These Middle West farm people are FINE PEOPLE. They are well I educated. Large numbers of them have been to college. All of them, . over the years, have had the bene fit of the technical advice that has been provided for agriculture through the extension service of Iowa's fine agricultural college at Ames located not far from New ton and the other excellent ag ricultural colleges of the Middle West. They will draw their own con clusions from what is said and will arrive at their own judg ments. What will they conclude? HOW will they vote? These questions aren't easily answered. The proposals that will be ad vanced by President Eisenhower for the solution of agriculture's admittedly difficult present prob lems will be based on the HARD WAY. . The platform that Mr. Stevenson will support will be based on do ing it THE EASY WAY. Let's put it this way: When YOU are confronted by a . choice between the easy way and the hard way WHICH WAY DO YOU CHOOSE?

Foreign Minister Christian Pi neau told the conference's final session France could not sign up at the moment because of changes made in a document setting out the association's aims. These aims are primarily to seek by peaceful means to share with Egypt in con trol of the Suez Canal.

Charles S. Haight, attorney for the Swedish American Line, stated at a pretrial hearing that the im portant item of evidence "had not been found preserved" when the Stockholm returned here to go into drydock July 27, two days aft er the collision that sank the Ital ian liner off the Massachusetts coast. FIRST WITNESS Third Mate Ernest Carstens Johansen, first witness called in pretrial testimony, described the record as the nightorder book, a pad on which the officer in charge keeps a record of orders during the night watch. . . The 'witness -wis m charge oh the Stockholm at the time of the collision. "The captain gave the book to me before he went down to his cabin for the night," Carstens- Johansen testified. "He didn't! give me any written night orders that night, however, because he hadn't gone to bed. But Haight said no officer of the ship or any employe of the Swedish American Line had seen the notebook since. The attorney did not explain what had hap pened to it. OTHERS AVAILABLE Haight indicated that all other records of the Stockholm were available to be placed in evidence. He submitted several at the morn ing hearing. The 26-year-old third mate testi fied Thursday that fog temporarily obscured the Andrea Doria until it was 1.8 or 1.9 miles off the port side of the Stockholm. He testified today that the Andrea Doria was apparently hidden by a "fog patch" rather than a gen eral fog condition.

KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, cides to take membership in the association it will make a reser vation that the existing document gives too large a degree of lati tude" in payment of canal tolls The United States which with Britain and France sponsored the original scheme for a users sociation announced it would adopt the scheme. It was the first power to do so. As the conference ended, a high American source said it had been "reasonably successful." Pineau made clear the latitude to which he objected principally was concerned with methods of paying canal dues. France and Britain have refused to pay dues to the Egyptian Canal Authority set up after Egypt's July 26 na tionalization of the international waterway. The association project apparent ly would allow members to pay dues to Egypt if they wished. The Americans and West Germans have in fact been paying transit dues to Egypt. Pakistan, long a holdout, hinted that it might join. Italy and Britain announced for mal adherence. Conference officials said the first meeting of the users associa tion will be in London Oct. 1. They said they expected the Suez dispute will be put to the United Nations almost immediately after that meeting. Pakistani Foreign Minister Sir Firoz Khan Noon, who had com plained the users plan, as orig inally outlined by U.S. Secretary of State Dulles, was too much like an ultimatum to Egypt, told dele gates that as now presented it em phasizes cooperation with Egypt. Therefore, he said, it will be laid before his government for a decision as to whether Pakistan would join. He made clear the sponsors were not asking dele gates for immediate decisions, though a dozen nations, including the Western Big Three, have gone on record in favorf of thf plan. ' The association scheme as it has now emerged is quite dif ferent from the original draft," he said. Government Studies Potatoes WASHINGTON (UP) The Agriculture Department said to day it is considering a proposal to set minimum size and grade standards for imports of potatoes. Under the proposed regulation, which becomes effective Oct. 22, if it is approved, imports of round white or red-skinned Irish pota toes would be limited to U.S. No. 1 or better grade of 2Yt inches minimum diameter and four inch es maximum diameter. Long potatoes would be required to meet the standards of U.S. No. 2A grade with a minimum diame ter of two inches and a minimum weight of four ounces. The regulation would not apply to certified seed potatoes, the de partment said. Most U.S. potato Imports come from Canada. A similar sie and grade import regulation was in effect last season.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER tl, J 956 Estas Kefauver , . , Brinks Clan Returns To Fame; In Lockup SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UP) - The Brink family, headline mak ers in California a few years back with their troubles, were back in the state again today, and in a familiar place, the Sacramento County jail. James Pirle Brink. - his wife. Jess Pearly mother , af lC, and! tneir 2H-year-oM son, uuaay, were booked in jail less than 24 hours after they arrived here from Eu gene, Ore. For papa, it was parole violation: for mama, forging some $500 in bad checks; and for son, Buddy, it was for passing same. Sacramento authorities learned of the relurn of the Brinks when Mrs. Brink telephoned from here to the Lane County, Ore., sher iff's office about a fire which de stroyed their home ln Eugene two weeks ago. MARRIED DAUGHTER The Brinks, with one married daughter, her four children, and the two youngest Brink children, were spotted in a North Sacramen to service station Thursday, at tempting to pay for gas with an unacceptable check. "I don't know why they'd want to arrest us. We haven't done any thing," said Mrs. Brink. "Pa there isn't any parole violator. Why, his parole was up on June 21. "Of course there's that arson thing, but Billy (another sonl set that fire, and he's a minor, only 17. Imagine saying that the fire was set so we could collect the Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 3.S87 Klamath Falls Visitor Insurance on the furniture. That just isn't true. Mrs. Brink said she had tele phoned Deputy Sheriff Harry Mar lowe in Lane County to tell him who d set fire to their house, if he would promise immunity to Billy. - ARRESTED. '- ' J - v i' -"And then he had the Sacra mento sheriff arrest us," she said. Marlowe said Mrs. Brink is charged with writing more than $500 in bad checks and Buddy is charged with cashing them. The family came to Sacramento from Los Angeles in 1948. A local church staged a charity! drive, raising enough money to buy a lot on which the Brinks could build a home. However, the family sold the lot. Brink was arrested on a theft charge, then jailed for traffic ci tations. Mrs. Brink slapped a county Welfare Department direc tor during a battle with that agen cy. Their Uth child was killed when it was backed over by Brink in his truck. Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Fair through Saturday.

Ike Administration Rapped At KF Stop By LYLE DOWNING Senator Estes Kefauver, Demo cratic vice presidential candidate, hopscotching by chartered plane around Oregon in quest of votes, landed at Klamath Falls airport at 12:35 p.m. Friday on a United Air Lines four-engine DC-6. The Tennessean had a big smile on his face as he disembarked from the plane and was greeted by 500 cheering persons who had waited 45 minutes for his arrival. Senator Wayne L. Morse and con gressional candidate Al Ullman ar rived with him, as well as 25 news paper correspondents and photog raphers. Senator Kefauver walked slowly from the plane to a platform in front of the airport lounge, while Atoms Plan Centers On Red China UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. 11- The conference to create an Inter national atoms-for-peace agency settled down to details of organ izing today after getting past its first huddle on the inevitable ques tion of admitting Communist China.

The committee Is made up of the 12 countries that drafted the pro posed constitution for the atomic agency in ashington earlier this year; " t- - - The debate on China took place shortly after the conference began yesterday. Georgi Zarubin, Sov iet ambassador to Washington, argued that the Communist Chi nese government should be present lor the conference and in the agen cy as representative of "600 mil lion peaceful people." SUPPORT DRAWN Zarubin drew support from 11 of the 80 nations on hand India, Syria, Czechoslovakia, Indonesia, Ceylon, Afghanistan, the Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, - Romania and White Russia. The Soviet Union, India and oth er nations already had expressed dissatisfaction with a provision of the proposed constitution for the uranium-sharing agency that bars (he Chinese Communists by limit ing membership to the 87 countries in the U.N, and its specialized agencies. Nationalist 'Chinese Delegate T. F. Tsiang opposed Zarubin, saying, "My government is the only legit imate government of China." South Korea and Paraguay backed him up. A Czechoslovak suggest that Communist North Viet Nam be invited to join the conference and the agency drew objection from South Viet Nam. Police Alerted For Race Riot ASBURY PARK, N.J.

After a short introduction by Sen ator Morse, Kefauver launched in to an attack on the Eisenhower ad ministration. "President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon have been talking about something they call 'New Republicanism,' " he said. "I don't know exactly what it ii. I doubt if they know what it is. Whatever it is, I am doubtful that it has tak en root very deeply among Repub lican ranks.

Do you suppose President Eisenhower believes that he has converted that distinguished reactionary into an a p o s 1 1 e of New Republicanism? And what kind of New Republican is Senator Knowland, the party's leader of the senate? Kefauver then praised the rec ord of Senator Morse, who is seek- i ,i uig reeiecuun. - Just the other day Mr. Nixon told the voters of Oregon to de feat Wayne Morse," he continued. "Wayne Morse is the conscience of the Senate. His presence on the Democratic side of the aisle is a living rebuke to those Republicans who would like to forget that there was once a national Republican tradition." Continuing his praise for Morse, Kefauver said, ' Wayne Morse la a great power for good in this na tion. He speaks his conscience. He speaks for progress. He speaks for peace and freedom. The sacrifice of Wayne Morse on the altar of Republican revenge, as Richard Nixon asked you to do, would be the sorriest day ln history for the people of Oregon. - Immediately after his talk, Ke fauver boarded the plane for Salem.

Morse and Ullman are due at a rally Friday night in Lakeview. Living Costs Decline Told WASHINGTON (UP)-The cost of living declined in August for the first time in seven months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics re ported today. Factory workers take home pay rose to a new record high level during the month, the bureau said. The price index for August was 116.8, using average 1947-49 prices as a comparison base of 100. The August figure was 0.2 per cent below July which was the highest in history. A decline in fresh fruit and vege tables prices more than offset the rising prices of other foods and most goods and services. The average factory worner, with a wife and two children, had take home pay of 573.08 per week in August. Ills pay check could buy more goods and services than in any previous August, the bu reau said. Bureau Director Ewan Clague told newsmen It is hard to esti mate how average prices are moving this month. He said they might drop slightly, hold at the present level, or return to the peak level of July. that state ballot measure No. t should be defeated.
