U OF ORSaOM LIBRART EUOENE, ORE. coap Y A Termination law Vo te Called Tor PORTLAND Ml Changes prob ably will be needed in the law to terminate federal supervision over the Klamath 'Indian Reservation, but they cannot logically be drawn up until next year, Glenn L. Em mons said yesterday. Emmons, commissioner of In dian Affairs, said after a one-day conference here on the termina tion problem, that first the tribal members will have to determine what they want to do with their shares of tribal property. They cannot do this logically until after property appraisals are completed next February, he said. Emmons said a referendum would be held then for each tribal member to say whether he wants to liquidate his share of the land. In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, what is hap pening in Eastern Europe and the Middle East is hidden by the cur - tain of censorship that is always dropped when shooting war whether it is big or little starts. We can only guess at what is taking place. At the moment, it looks as if monolithic (all in one piece) com munism is beginning to break up into KINDS of communism. In Po land, a POLISH communist gov ernment is at odds with the RUS SIAN brand of communism that has been oppressing Poland. These Polish communists want to RUN THEIR OWN AFFAIRS. So far, there hasn't been much shooting in Poland. In Hungary, the situation ap- pears to be somewhat different. There a Hungarian communist government that wanted to get rid of Russia and run its own at iairs seems to have got into trou- -ble with Hungarians who are fed up with all kinds of communism. This home town communist gov ernment had to call for Russian troops to handle the situation. That . inflamed the Hungarians who are sick oi communism in general, and the shooting got indiscrimin ate. What is happening there isn't clear at this moment. . What do WE hope for? What will be best for US? I don't know, of course. But if the hatreds that are loose in Eastern Europe flame into gen eral shooting war And if the Arab-Jewish hatreds that are loose in the Middle East flame into shooting war Nobody can tell what will hap pen. We must remember that World War 1 was started by the shooting of an Austrian archduke. When general shooting starts, no one ever knows when or where it will end. - . I think it may be better for US if all - in - one piece communism breaks up into KINDS of commu nism. In that event, every com munist leader will be jealous of every other communist leader and all of them will be suspicious of Russia, which wants to be the big communist boss. None of them - (including Russia) would ever know when, if trouble started, the others might be at his throat. In such a situation, if we stay strong and wise, we may be able to hold the balance of power in the world and KEEP THE PEACE. That would be wonder ful. I think Oregon people should be giving some thoughtful considera tion to Measure No. 1, which will be on the ballot at next Tuesday's election. It involves an important principle. The principle is this: Shall we give our legislature the power to handle Oregon's financial problems in an orderly manner? That is the substance of Meas ure No. 1. As of now, the Oregon legis lature can't enact a new tax i to meet the problem that arises when more revenue is needed to bal ance the budget, with any assur ance that the tax will be collected. The reason is that the legislature I is forbidden to attach the emer gency clause to new tax laws. As a result, anyone who is willing to get some 20.000 names on a refer endum petition can hold up the new tax until it is voted on.. That creates an unsound 'finan cial situation. Let's put it this way: Suppose you had arranged to build a new house and had com mitted yourself to a contract in an amount that would require new fi nancing. Suppose someone had the power to hold up your financing and actually did so. You'd be in a bad fix TW IV-a .it,, ,;.. ft.- tM . milium I I ens .rcvici.iiy uuiiieB V. .hil .i f. lin?,f g """i" Hagerty said he could not say if ,mel' appropriations already L, Middle Eastern developments, made.

I "We want this bill to work so It will be an example to other In dians of the country. It is going to work, not only for those who want to get out, but for those who want to stay in, for the best inter est .of all the Indians and their resources," Emmons said. ARGUMENTS Wade Crawford, former superin tendent of the Klamath Agency and a member-elect of the tribal council, argued against further delay in the termination program He said the Indian Bureau and the Department of Interior have miserably failed in administer ing the termination program. Lrawlord said the management specialists named as advisers for the termination program were un fit for the job. They should be fired and dis interested and fair-minded people put in their places. They have done everything they could to dis rupt the tribe," he said. Boyd Jackson, treasurer of the tribal council, objected to this. He said the management specialists Had taken a fair approach. Jackson said he believed the specialists were correct in recom mending certain changes in the termination law. Jackson said more time is needed to study the matter and to set up a program to irianage the tribe's timber re sources. PROPOSAL FAVORED He said he favored a proposal by the specialists for the federal government to buy the 80,000 acres of timber and other lands in the reservation. If this is not approved by Congress, Jackson said a committee should be creat ed to manage the timber, with representatives from state and federal agencies and the tribe. "We want the Klamath Reserva tion to remain intact," Jackson said. "It has been the goose that laid tne golden egg for the Klam ath Indians for years. We don't want it destroyed. commissioner Emmons came here after the Interior Depart ment last month ordered a review of Uhe termination program and preparation of "appropriate amendments" to be submitted to Congress early next year.

S. Court of Appeals was asked Tues day to reconsider a decision up holding the legality of a construc tion license for private power dams in the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake River. The National Hells Canyon Assn., advocating a federal dam in the river bordering Idaho and Oregon, requested a rehearing be fore all nine judges of the court, A three-judge panel of the court early this month allirmed a f ed eral Power Commission FPC) li cense under which the Idaho Pow er Co. plans to build three dams which would flood the proposed federal project site. Association attorneys, who plan to appeal to the Supreme Court if they are denied a rehearing in the lower court, said in Tuesday's petition the Hells Canyon case "in volves matters of unusual public importance and statutory ques tions of first impression." FUTURE COURSE "The ultimate decision in this case, they declared, win cnan the future course of water re sources development under the Federal Power Act." The outcome," they said, "will determine whether water re sources in the public domain are to be fullv developed lor maxi mum nublic benefit or wasteiuny underdeveloc-ed. It will determine whether comprehensive multi-purpose plans, carefully engineered for the full economic development of major basins, can be torn asun der by the teuerai rower com mission. "This case calls upon the courts, for the first time, to interpret the full scope and force of ... the Federal Power Act the stand ard for licensing non-federal rivet; projects ..." L The . petition... said the - three- judge panel "misapprehended and "misunderstood" the "ele mentary facts of the case" and contentions of the association and "misapplied" the Roanoke Rapids case which was cited as a prece dent. CONTENTIONS . The association attorneys con teYided the FPC was required by the federal power law to reject Idaho Power's three-dam plan and recommend federal construction of single high dam which they claim would provide more public benefits. "As a precedent," they added, it would inevitably lead to the displacement of other large multi purpose projects essential to the full development of the water re sources of the Columbia River Basin." ' The association lawyers, Evelyn Cooper and Lucien Hilmer, said the three-judge panel was "mis led by the inadequate and vague findings" of the FPC when It con cluded the three-dam plan and single high dams would be "equal ly comprehensive as to the achievement of public purposes."

Appeal On KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON. Rebels Soviets May Be Attacked VIENNA I Hungary's Red government conceded virtually complete victory Tuesday to the revolutionists, and at the same time the Hungarian air force threatened to attack Russian forces unless they left Budapest within 12 hours. The Red regime called on the nation to prepare for free elec tions. Premier Imre Nagy an nounced the one-party Communist system has been abolished. The Communist premier told the nation he has called on the So viet army command to belin im mediate withdrawal of Soviet troops from the revolt-torn capi tal of Budapest. The threat to attack Russian forces was contained in a procla mation issued at 3 p.m. by the Hungarian air command, VIOLATIONS It accused the Soviet troops in Hungary of "constantly violating the cease-fire. It added that all military and economic agree ments made by Hungary with Rus sia in the past should be cancelled "because the former Hungarian governments acted under foreign pressure! The Hungarian air force is sup- nhed with Soviet let planes. Nagy proposed in a broadcast over Radio Budapest tne lorma tion of a coalition government i meaning -one of several parties I similar to that established just after the end of World War II in 1945. Two hours after Nagy went on the air, Radio Budapest broad cast- an announcement that So viet troops had started leaving Budapest.

The unruly weather was expect ed to growl eastward into the western Great Lakes region today and range southward, through Mis souri into Western Arkansas and Northern Texas. The Carolinas and Virginia were rained upon again today. The rest of the country had relatively mod erate weather. Early snow fell again in the higher elevation in Colorado, Wyo ming and Northern California Mon day and Monday night. Up to six inches of snow filled the mountain passes in Colorado. More flurries were expected today. Although the mountains had the white blanket, they also enjoyed warmer temperatures than the lower elevations.

FREE ELECTIONS In calling for free elections and; tne restoration ot Hungary s long suppressed n o n-Communist par ties, Tildy said "the Soviet lead-' ers will recognize that negotia tions with a free Hungary will be possible." Tildy joined Nagy in appealing for the restoration of order and said free elections would be en dangered if fighting continues. Large sections of the country remained under rebel control. Fighting slacked off in Budapest. Tildy told the largely Roman Catholic nation he hoped to see Josef Cardinal Mindzenty restored promptly to his position as pri mate of Hungary. Cardinal Mind zenty was convicted on treason charges by a Communist court in 1949 and sentenced to life im prisonment. In recent months he has been reported detained under house arrest in various parts ' of Hungary. A rebel-held radio at Miskolc! said the street fighting erupted this morning. Reports from cor respondents in the capital last night said some revolutionaries still were refusing to surrender their arms until the Russians leave.

' Russia Joins With U.S. In Demand To UN Council UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. Wl Russia and the United States joined Tuesday in demanding that the U.N. Security Council order the immediate withdrawal of Is raeli forces from Egyptian terri tory. At the same time. Russia called on the council to warn Britain and France against any military intervention in the Israeli-Egyp tian conflict. Soviet Delegate Arkady A. So bolev read a news dispatch from London saying Britain and France had agreed their forces would oc cupy key positions In the Sum Canal area unless Israel and : Egypt stop fighting within ! hours. This, Soholev said, was a pre text for sending their troops into the area. U.

Western Powers May Occupy Canal Zone CAIRO Ifl Egypt and Israel received a stern warning from Britain and France Tuesday to cease fighting in the Sinai Penin sula. The Western powers threat ened to occupy key positions in the Suez Canal Zone unless there is a cease-fire within 12 hours. The announcement came as Egyptian and Israeli forces were clashing deep within the Sinai Pen insula, which Israel invaded Monday. Soon after the warning was is sued, an Egyptian army commu nique claimed it had "annihila ted" Israeli troops west of El Themed, Sinai desert post 30 - miles inside the Egyptian frontier. The communique added: "Mop ping up operations against enemy troops in the rest of the battle areas is continuing. Prime Minister Eden said Brit ain and France have asked both sides to keep their forces 10 miles away from the canal. Eden told the British Parliament paratroopers had been dropped in the area of the Suez Canal, but he did not say whether they VhiteHouse On Mideast War Alert WASHINGTON W - The Eisen hower administration was report ed Tuesday to have alerted con gressional leaders for possible emergency conferences at the White House on the Middle East fighting.

He said the air forces of both Egypt and Israel had been active in the neighborhood of the canal and that the British and French govern ments were determined to do everything possible to safeguard traffic through the waterway. Egyptian President Nasser was reported to have ordered a gen eral mobilization as the fighting looked more and more like war. Israel had gone on a war footing over the weekend. The Syrians also were reported by the Damascus newspapers to ' have ordered a state of general mobilization. Civilian buses and trucks were put at military dis posal. Anti-aircraft guns were erected in the Syrian capital, ana civil defense exercises were' or dered there and in Aleppo. , Military spokesmen at Tel Aviv announced the capture of the Egyptian position of Quasaima, about 10 miles inside the Egyptl. n border and about 15 miles south- . west of the El Auja demilitarized border area.

Earlier, a two-pronged attack from KuntiUa and the head of the Gulf Oaqaba, far to the south, had been reported without confirma tion to have driven almost across the peninsula to within 18 i miles of the Suez Canal. A communique here said Egypt's counterattack "stopped completely" the Israeli advance. Another communique said the Egyptian air force shot down two Israeli aircraft, destroyed 12 Is raeli armored cars and strafed Israeli troops. These attacks were said to have taken place at El Themed. Tel Aviv military spokesmen an nounced that the Israeli air force also had gone into action and had attacked Egyptian convoys. The sound of antiaircraft fire was heard over Cairo Tuesday.

FEAR EXPRESSED Neutral diplomats In Israel had expressed the fear earlier that if the fighting got into the air it would tip the balance toward all- out war. The Egyptian air force lately has been reinforced by the arrival of Soviet jet fighters and bombers. The Israeli air force has French jets. Israeli's 1,800,000 population faced a blackout Tuesday night. Washington estimates are that 150,000 to 200,000 Israelis had been called up to arms. Israel is be lieved capable of mobilizing an army of about 250,000. Egypt, according to the esti mates of outsiders, might be able to mobilize 500,000 men. Two mechanized Israeli columns crossed the border last night and advanced at least 75 miles into Egyptian territory. Israel said the expedition's purpose was to clean out bases of Egyptian commandos who have been raiding into Israel. The latest report from military sources in the Tel Aviv placed the Israeli forces between 30 and 60 miles from the Suez Canal. An earlier unconfirmed report from the Israeli sector of Jerusalem said the Israelis had penetrated to within 18M miles of the canal, without Egyptian opposition. SCARE SPREADS A war scare spread around the world, and Western diplomats re acted quickly. The Arab nations surrounding Israel all have said they would regard an attack against one as an attack against 'all, raising the threat of a general renewal ot the 1048 Palestine war. There were these rapid-fire de velopments: The U.N. Security Council was called into emergency session in New York. In Washington, the White House said "we shall honor our pledge" to assist any victim of Middle bast aggression, made jointly with Brit ain and France in a 1950 declara tion. The U.S. 6th Fleet was re the Israeli-Egyptian border. Britain also was described as EL10 rlrtriS inth. lh " " British-French policy in the I Middle East. LEADER RIVAL Iraq, Egypt's rival for leader ship of the Arab .world, offered troops to help the Egyptians. Iraqi forces already on the Jordan bor der could strike at Israel's north east frontier at the opposite end of the country from the Egyptian front. Jordan's top government and military officials met hurriedly but a Jordan army spokesman said i no request had been received yet from Egypt for aid. Syria's army was alerted and a state of emergency was declared! along the Syrian-Israeli frontier. f A. -A . t -
