I'm going to vote for him again, this year." The) bureau of statistics of the U.S. labor department reported the other day that living costs rose .3 of one per cent in September to a RECORD level. The bureau's index reached 117.1 per cent of the 1947-1949 base period. The bureau said the September living cost level was nearly two per cent higher than a year ago and 1.8 per cent higher than in January 1953 at the start of Presi dent Eisenhower's administration. It sounds bad, doesn't it? Reading just that and going no farther, you might howl like a wounded wolf. You might even mack your right fist into the palm of your left hand and snort: "I'm going to VOTE DEMOCRAT IC, so help me Hannah! I just can't, take this constant rise in the prices of everything I have to buy. It's killing us common people." Walt a minute. ' Let's read a little farther. In September, the labor depart ment's "index" reached 117.1 per cent of the 1947-1949 base period. In toe jargon of the statisticians that means that in September of this year living costs were 17.1 per cent higher than the average for the period beginning in 1947 and . ending in 1949. That, the bu reau said in its report the other day, is 2.8 per cent higher than in January 1933, at the start of President Eisenhower's admini stration. it you will subtract IS per cent from 17.1 per cent, you will have 14J per cent left. That is to say: Of the 17.1 per cent increase in the cost of living that has taken place in the years since the 1947- 1949 "base" period, 14.3 per cent occurred in the years when the Democrats were in power and only 2.8 per cent in the Eisen hower administration. That ntinrt miita Hiffarant Now let s hear ike s story. In a public statement the other day. President Eisenhower pointed out that while consumer prices have risen 2.8 per cent during his administration REAL WAGES of factory workers ("real wages" are what you can buy with your mon ey) have risen 8.6 per cent. . That means this: ' At the end of these three and a half years, the factory worker is nearly three times better off (in terms of increase in his buying power) than he was before Ike came into the picture. Is that a sound reason for any working man to vote against Ike It looks to me like pretty good reason to vote FOR him. . , In election years, this is a big Question among editors: Shall we or snail we not otter advice on how to vote on every ballot item come Election Day? That is, shall we tell the people how to vote on EVERYTHING ballot measures and CANDIDATES alike?. Getting personal, I don't do It. Why not? Well, there Is a fine town on the Pacific Coast that has always had an outstanding newspaper, run by able and competent people. It regularly tells people how they should vote on everything "Taking a stand," its editors call It. When I go there, everybody I talk to on the subject speaks somewhat slightingly of the town's newspaper. I ask WHY adding that I think their newspaper is an exceptionally good one. I get this answer: "Oh. the essobees WANT TO RUN THE TOWN." Scores Okla. 40, Not. D. 0 III. 20, Mich.

Singapore Riot Death Toil Rises SINGAPORE, (fl The death toll in the Singapore riots rose to 14 Saturday, and police rein forcements from Johore and Ma laya were rushed to this British island colony to stamp out the disorders, now in their third day. More than 130 persons injured in the fighting were' in hospitals. Rioting in scattered parts of the city continued all day, but not on a large scale. VOLLEYS Police fired volleys to break up several minor charges by rioters, including one attempt to raid a police station. Nearly 600 persons, including 159 Chinese secret so ciety members, had been rounded up by nightfall. It was on similar secret society members that Brit ish authorities blamed rioting in Hong Kong recently which claimed 43 lives. Chinese secret society members known by tattoos on their bod ies have openly joined the thou sands of Communist led high school students who started the riots Thursday night, protesting a ban calling their student union a Communist front. Police began an island-wide search for known secret society members this aft ernoon. GRAVE FEARS Grave fears of a possible com munal uprising were arroused by ttje death of one Malay at the hands of Chinese Communist riot- Inche Haji Jumat, member of the Singapore legislative as sembly, warned the Malays were stirred by the incident and might attack the Chinese. There are about 100.000 Malays in Singapore and 800,000 Chinese. They have clashed before, and it was bloody. The government announced de-. tention of Peoples Action Party assemblyman Lim Chin Siong, sec retary general of the Singapore facterv and shopworkers union. He was among seven top officials of the leftist organization rounded up in the raids. Lim. 25. is considered one of the most powerful trade unionists in the colony. Members of his feder ation of Bmaller unions have been on strike since Thursday. As a result transport and factories have been paralyzed. - . - .- Crater Lake Sees Snowfall Crater Lake National Park got six inches of new snow in the 24 hour period ending at 8 a.m. on Saturday and skies were overcast and snow was falling intermittently Saturday forenoon. Snow depth was 18 inches com pared with three inches in 1955 and none in 1W. Maximum f riday temperature was 30 degrees: min imum Friday night was 19 degrees and it was 20 degrees at 8 a.m. Saturday. Highway 62 and the road from Annie Springs to the rim were open Saturday with chains advised, ac cording to the rangers. Elsewhere, according to the Klamath Falls office of the Oregon State Motor Association, there were icy conditions over the Willamette Pass Saturday morning, ground fog along the lake and snow on the highway at least as far as Chilo quin. Five traffic accidents were re ported between here and at Weed on Highway 97. According to Virgil Winkleman, Jr., California High way Patrol, Dorris, a Jeep driven by a San Francisco man overturn ed at Grass Lake Saturday morn ing. A few hours earlier, two pick ups had collided with a division of highways sander and one person was slightly injured. No names were available. East German Tiff Denied BERLIN, W Communist East Germany last night ruled out any government shakeup. Premier Otto Grotewohl told a nationwide radio-TV audience: "We are not going to change the government because it is the fash ionable thing to do. We do not want any fashionable illnesses." Dissolution of his strongly pro Russian government "would lead to such a situation as in Hungary," he said. The German satellite regime kept 270,000 troops and security police on an emergency alert, meantime, to guard against any anti-Soviet revolt. It also began large scale re cruiting of new policemen along with a campaign to enroll new party members. Grotewohl appeared on TV with Communist Party chief Waller Ul bricht. They replied to questions from four workers In what ap peared to be a carefully staged show. Thousands of, restive East Ger man workers were summoned to Communist Party centers to view the question-answer panel. Other thousands, however, listened to radios at home, hungry for news how the Hungarian revolt might affect their future. mmt iiini nwiiirMn " r-Tnf Price Tea Cents St Pagei UN Council Plans Study Of Hungary UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. W -The U. N. Security Council Sat urday was called into urgent meet ing Sunday to study Soviet mili tary action in Hungary. Chief delegates of the United Stales, Britain and France jointly asked for the session, charging foreign military forces are violent ly repressing the peoples' rights in Hungary in violation of the 1947 Hungarian peace treaty. The complaint did not identify the foreign troops. WEST POWERS But the three Western powers clearly referred to Soviet forces stationed in Hungary and used against Hungarian anti-Communist rebels and demonstrators at; the request of the Communist gov ernment in Budapest. There was no comment from either Hungarian or Soviet U. N. delegations. The meeting will begin at 1 p. m. PST. The joint action followed up Secretary of State Dulles' confer ence with President Eisenhower Saturday morning on the situation in Hungary and Poland. Dulles then flew to Dallas, where in a speech last night he held out the promise of U. S. economic aid to those countries. OBJECTIONS Evidently to meet any Soviet objections, Dulles said the United States does not regard Poland and Hungary as "potential military allies." In Washington, the United States also protested to the Hungarian legation that the United States had been cut off from communi cation with its legation in Buda pest since Thursday noon. V Deputy Undersecretary of State Robert Murphy handed the pro test to Tidor Zador, first secretary of the Hungarian legation, at the State Department. He queried Zador about the use of Soviet troops in the Hungarian uprising and was said to have been told that they went into ac tion at the Hungarian govern ment's request and that the ac tion was legal under the Warsaw defense pact. Firing Range Dedicated A large number of persons at tended the open house dedication at the Klamath Falls police firing range Friday afternoon and eve ning. The 18,000 building which houses the firing range, a lounge room, snack bar, and cartridge loading room has been made pos sible under sponsorship of the Police Beneficiary Association with proceeds from the annual police dances of the past 20 years. Construction of the building was undertaken in December of 1934, with proceeds from the forthcom ing -dance expected to make pos sible completion of the interior. Incidentally, the police are on the lookout for lounge room furni ture and will appreciate all contri butions you may have. In addition to utilizing the build ing as a police firing range and recreation headquarters, it is an ticipated that teen-age gun hand ling and firing courses will be conducted at the range in the near future. The 28th annual policeman's ball will be held November 21 this year with the Starlighter dance band furnishing the music. The event will be staged in the armory.

Eisenhower is a "part-time" and "shadow President" who was out playing golf at critical moments in this country s history. - And he said this country was caught off guard when the fight ing began in Hungary and Poland. "We were caught off guard," he said, so that when "the fighting broke out in Poland the American ambassador wasn't even at his post he was visiting Berlin to see his dentist. "And when the revolt broke out in Hungary our envoy was not even in that country." Stevenson made two major speeches in California Saturday only New York has more electoral votes than thir state's 32 and each time he' struck hard at the President. In San Francisco at a noon time ' rally he said that, as the campaign nears its windup, Eisen hower "remains a shadow candi date as he has been a shadow President." And here in Los Angeles, he went in detail into the President's vacations and relaxations. He referred especially to 1954, which he called "a time of deep trial and anxiety." A sample of Stevenson's criti cism: "On Feb. 19th, Secretary Dulles returned from the critical four power conference in Berlin. He couldn't report to the President. The New York Times said 'it was golf again today for President Eisenhower at Palm Springs.' " Or, again, Stevenson said: "On April 13th, Mr. Dulles and the then British foreign secretary Anthony Eden met to explore the ' ,.(-. u .-,...,... ..war ?".- t? . .:':., ; ;' - " ; - .-,'' , N - : .' , .

New York Times reported that President Eisenhower had landed in the South "to begin a golfing vacation." Stevenson led into his attack on the President with a reference to the "So-called Republican truth squad. He said that in Rock Island, III yesterday the Republicans gavejjccr tins auiiiuimiuii ul luc levuus III Hungary and Poland: "A clear,-cut result of the new American foreign policy." Not so, Stevenson said. "If it was true, it would be shameful stupidity to say it; buti as it is false, it was a gross effort to exploint the anguish of brave people to make votes in an Amer ican election." " Here's the - way Stevenson summed ft up: "The credit goes where it be longs to the heroic Poles and Hungarians who face the tanks and guns of their Russian rulers: it belongs to those who were will ing to risk all their lives, their fortunes, their families for freedom. "No credit goes to men who in recent weeks have exposed them selves to nothing more dangerous than their own campaign oratory." SUICIDE BILL PUZZLER OCEANSIDE, Calif. (UP)-A $50 medical bill from a citizen whose life was saved following a suicide attempt puzzled the city manager's office today. The citizen claimed the city should pay the bill be cause ."1 didn't ask police to call I the doctor." 4 Ifllf 131- Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 3618 Ballot Tiff Spreads To Polk County By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The name of Supreme Court Justice William McAllister, a write-in candidate (or the court position he now holds, has ap peared on county-distributed sanv pie ballots in Curry and Polk counties. Circuit Judge David R. Vanden berg of Klamath Falls, also a write-in candidate for the post. has protested this and also the use of sample ballots to promote the candidacy of any office seek er. Judge Vandenberg said it was a clear violation of Oregon elec tion laws and he called for dis trict attorneys "to bring enforce' ment action tq stop it," In Curry County, former district attorney Herbert Dewart said he was responsible for McAllister's namo being stamped in the write in space on all sample ballots. They were withdrawn and De- wart has offered to pay for re printing them. RUBBER STAMP In Polk County, McAllister sup porters had sent a rubber stamp to Philip Hayter, Dallas attorney, asking him to get sample ballots trom the county clerk, stamp the name in and then distribute them. Hayter said he went to Countv Clerk Betty Adams and asked if he could have the ballots stamped at the courthouse and leave them there for distribution. He said she agreed and that some 300 sample ballots were distributed before he realized his mistake in the ,mat- ter. County clerks In both Curry ' and, Polk counties said Saturday that all the stamped ballots had been destroyed. .. . Justice McAllister said it was never contemplated that any sam ple ballots would be stamped in a courthouse nor that stamped bal lots would be distributed by a county clerk. "Such distribution," McAllister sajd, "would be improper and we had no reason to anticipate it would be done by any county of- BALLOT Vandenberg apparently does not think stamped sample ballots should be distributed under any circumstances. He said in a state ment: "The official sample ballot is paid for by tax money. The salary of the county clerk is paid for with tax money. Tax money should never be used to further the candidacy of any candidate for; public oftice, no matter how en trenched the political machines may desire his election. I am tired of hearing of such shenani gans, and I have advised my committee to confer with law en forcement officials in each county to prevent any repetition of these incidents. I don t want my tax any candidacy-mine or my oppo- nlS ' McAllister said, however, that, he believed private distribution of stamped sample ballots "is not a violation of either the letter or spirit of the elections laws which encourage the wide disemination of information to voters." McAllister said that besides the ballots his supporters had re ceived from county clerks, his committee has had additional bal - lots printed for wider distribution in certain counties. Dulles Says U.S. May Offer Help DALLAS, Tex., un Secretary , of State Dulles last night held out the promise of United States eco- nnmic help to Hungary, Poland or other countries which may gain independence of Soviet rule. But he asserted that the United States does not "look upon these nations as potential military al lies." This was an evident effort to assure Russia that its security would not be endangered. In a speech prepared for the Dulles Council on World Affaris, he also said that the United States and its allies must maintain con ventional as well as atomic mili tary forces because "it would be reckless to risk everything on one form of armament." SURVEY His speech, a general foreign policy survey, touched on these other main points: 1. In addition to rejection of Soviet rule in some Eastern Eu ropean countries there seems to be "an irreversible trend" toward greater freedom of people inside Russia and this may bring the day when Russia and the United Slates "can deal with each other as friends." 2. The Suez Canal controversy remains grave with some "dis- turning factors, unrelated to the canal itself." Dulles did not say what factors he had in mind .but he may have referred to Russian trouble-making in the Middle East, Arab-Israeli flareups and rrench- arab conflict in North Africa. FOUNDATION 3. The nations of the free world are still seeking "a solid economic foundation for their freedom" and it is vital that they succeed. Dill' les added: "Surely it is within the capability of the free world to assure that no people, dedicat ed to freedom, have to choose be tween communist serfdom and economic destitution." Dulles dealt with the crisis of communism in Eastern Europe in I general terms but he did outline his thinking on several points, "The captive peoples," he said, I "should never have reason to dmibt that they have In us a sin cere and dedicated friend who shares their aspirations. "They must know that they ean draw upon our abundance to tide themselves over the period of economic readjustment which is inevitable as they rcdedicate their productive efforts to the service of their own people rather than of exploiting masters. ECONOMIC TIES Nor do we condition economic tics between us upon the adoption by these countries of any partic ular form of society." In that sentence Dulles seemed to be saying what other officials have said privately in Washing ton that the existence of a Communist government in Poland or Hungary will be no more of a Three Injured In Accident Klamath County Deputy Sheriff Woody Joe reported that a car occupied by six college students went out of control on a curve three miles west of Beatty and Q( tho Rirls wer0 injurcd Innil mnro Inlrnn In Kl.imnlh Vallnv (Knllnl hv Knlor's Amhnlnnro Service where their condition was described Saturday as good. 1 Hospitalized were Joyce Dunham, Oregon State College, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Dunham of Lnkeview, who received scalp lacerations and bruises; Donna lloiloway, University of Oregon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William i Ifollowav of Lakcview. who receiv- ed a fractured leg, and her guest.

Furthermore, as It seeking to reassure the Soviet Union on a point of its own security, Dulles said emphatically that "the Unit ed States has no ulterior purpose in desiring the independence of the satellite countries." Specifically he said "we do not look upon these nations as po potential military allies. We see them as friends and as part of a new and friendly and no longer divided Europe." Hungarian Civil War Still Rapes VIENNA. Austria. Uft Hun gary's new defense minister, Gen. Karoly Janza, told the na tion last night Russian and Hun garian troops had wiped out most rebel strongpoints in Budapest. But reports reaching Vienna said Hungary still is gripped by a bloody civil war. The monitoring station of Radio Free Europe at Munich, reported a broadcast by "Radio Free Gyoer" claiming "more than half of western Hungary is In the hands of rebels. 1 Janza himself acknowledged there still is fighting In Budapest, but he insisted it is confined to a . few rebel strongpoints in the capital. IMEF.T1NO Perhans antieinatlne the II. N. Security Council meetina called for Sunday to consider the role of Soviet troops in combatting the uprising in Hungary, Janza de nied the Russians had participat ed in any large scale operationi in Budapest. . But he said that at the request of. the Hungarian government the Soviet soldiers have helpedand still are helping "break the re sistance of groups opposing the forces of the workers.".. The Soviet news agency Tass reported from Budapest "a ma jority of the insurgents have laid down their arms" in answer to the Hungarian government's offer of amnesty "but some groups so far have not understood there is no way out but surrender." REBELLION Janza spoke after Hungary's Communist bosses tried to end the rebellion by forming a new gov ernment with two non-communist cabinet ministers but the bloodshed went on. Tonight the Hungarian Red Cross telephoned an appeal for emergency medical aid and food to international Red Cross head quarters in Geneva, Switzerland, saying there were more than 10, 000 casualties to be cared for. This was apparently the only message allowed - through Hun gary's blackout on direct commu nications with the west.
