U ut uitdUOrf LI6HAHT EU5EME, ORE. mm m mm msm la The- Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS Something's cooking at Yalta again. The big shots of communism are ganging up there. Tito of Yugoslav ia and Khrushchev and Bulganin of Russia have had their heads to gether for days, and they have just been joined by Premier Ernos Geroe of Hungary. Western diplomats are saying the gathering is concerned with DEEP IDEOLOGICAL CONFLICTS within the Soviet bloc of nations. What's biting them? This is my (admittedly, optimis tic idea of it: They are worried by the knowl edge that communism is of itself SO FOUL that in time it must fall of the weight of its own foul ness. A word more on Yalta. It rates as Russia's top winter resort. It's where the Russians who can afford it come in the win ter season to escape the cold. It is located on the southern tip of 1 the Crimean peninsula that sticks out into the Black Sea. Its latitude is about that of Fargo North Da kota. . Some winter resort! ' Former German Grand Admiral Doenitz (a top bracket member of Hitler's Nazi gang) has just been released from the Spandau war crimes prison after serving a ten year sentence as a war criminal. He refuses to answer newsmen's questions as to whether he will seek a new political career Germany. He merely answered: "Such a man as I can have only one task to remain silent and feel his way back into the world." About all that can be said for Doenitz is that He took the wrong road and has suffered for it. Suf fering sometimes bring out good qualities in a man if he had any good qualities to sjbrt with. At any rate, Doenitz's future in Germany is up to the Germans, We have no business butting in. Buttinskies are always resented, What the world needs above everything else at this moment in history are leaders with courage. I can think, of two now that Churchill has entered the shadows m rpr rpmpnr. (inR is iniiiii:ttiiur Adenauer-of West Germany and; the other is President Eisenhower. Both of them have chosen the HARD WAY. Adenauer has stub bornly refused to become a dema gogue. He has waved no magic wands. In every crisis, he has told the people of West Germany that their only way out of their troubles is to work and save. Under his leadership West Germany's recov ery from the nuns of war nas Deen amazing., .:.-. President Eisenhower, facing the political fact that loss of the big farm states can spell defeat for him, had the eourage to veto a farm bill that was based on bigger subsidies and more handouts from the treasury which would have increased farm surpluses and has hewed to the line that the only hope for American agriculture is to get rid of the surpluses that hang over the markets of the fu ture like a dark thundercloud. To do that, he says, we must make overproduction less attractive rath er than more attractive. In a time when soft money has its appeal for everybody, he stands lirm for hard money. That takes political courage. Timber Still Leading Item PORTLAND Wl The Stanford Research Institute, after study of Oregon's industrial potential, re ported Saturday that timber re sources will continue for many years to be the basis of the state's industrial growth. The report, prepared for the Oregon Development Commission, said that pulp, paper, paperboard and cellophane appear to offer the best opportunities for industrial expansion. Also predicted were: Slow but continued expansion in the food processing industry, "challenging opportunities in livestock and meat processing, and continued opportunities for small industries to serve local and regional mar kets. The report cited two major needs: Additional study on imports since the state imports 90 per cent of the manufactured commodities it consumes. An educational program to dis pel misconceptions that Oregon Is a frontier land with a cold and unfavorable climate. The report based its prediction) of an increase in pulp and paper; manufacture on figures showing that Oregon has 29 per cent of the nation's softwood timber sup ply but now produces only about 4 per cent of the country's wood pulp.

It will be broadcast and televised nation ally. The President will fly back to Washington after the address. In response to a question, the President's press secretary. James Hagerty. said Eisenhow er's appearance in Seattle will be something of an "innovation." The President will make no speech but will engage in an informal dis cussion with Gov.

Langlie will accompany the President on his travels in Wash ington, Former Secretary of the Inler - ior McKay, the GOP Senate cand-l idate against Sen.

The victim's fall into the bush is believed to have caused lacerations on the face. Barron left the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Bar ron, shortly before dawn Saturday morning. He was accompanied by Paul Bruhn, Klamath Union High School employe, and Harvey Math- millworker.

"I was fullv concerned with the. well being of my wife and chil-l dren and did just as the fellow told me without pulling any funny business," the store manager told police. After returning to the car with an undisclosed amount of money, Palmquist was made to drive the robber to Prospect Street between Eighth and Ninth. At that point both his hands and feet were tied and his mouth was taped closed over a gag. The robber than took the keys from the car and threw them in a nearby ditch. Palmquist was put in the back seat of the car and the kidnaper disappeared after telling the store manager that his wife and children were going to be taken along as hostages.

Winebcrg freed the man and told police of the incident when they arrived on the scene shortly thereafter. The police hurried (0 the Palm quist home where they found Mrs. Palmquist and the two children still bound and gagged. Mrs. Palm quist told police that the masked gunman, wearing green gloves, did not harm them beyond tying them up and gagging them, Mrs. Palm quist and each of the two children were made to lie down in separate rooms of the house. The victims could furnish police with no clues other than that the men appeared young, were of medium build, and were masked with material which appeared to be part of a T-shirt. Immediately after being notified, the state police set up complete road blocks leading in and out of Klamath Falls and all available police of the city, county and state forces began a thorough check of hotels, motels, and other places where the suspects might be located.- One possible clue was offered when the waitress at a nearby drive-in restaurant told police that two young men possibly an swering the descriptions of the kid- nap-robbers had been in the estab lishment about 10 p.m. in a late model Mercury or Ford automo bile.

R. How ard, captain of the plane. Four bodies were recovered from the smoking, flaming wreck age which littered the airport's "Lucky No. 7" runway for 200 yards. Broadhurst and Howard received minor injuries in their fall of about 300 feet. Parachutes eased them to the ground.

A company spokesman said that as the bomber approached the runway "it seems that it hit some thing, possibly an obstruction. He (the pilot) immediately turned his engines on to full power in an attempt to climb away but at this point, although he gained some height and went back into cloud, he recognized that the aircraft was out of control and, within seconds, gave the order to aban don ship."
