Newspaper Page TextV OF O3230N LIB3AR1 COS? la The By FRANK JENKINS The big question as this is writ ten: What's happening to Zhukov? The air is full of rumors. A French newspaper says Kruschev wants the deposed defense minis ter and (former) head of the red army to sign a public confession of his sins against the communist party. The French report says Kruschev is bargaining with him offering, if Zhukov will humble himself sufficiently, to let him off easy. The word is that Zhukov is re fusing. What did Zhukov do to get him self in the doghouse? Again we have to put two and two together and draw our own conclusions. Communist China ap pears to have endorsed his down grading." A Peiping dispatch pub lished in Moscow today links Zhu kov's dismissal to a bid by the red army to TAKE OVER THE COM MUNIST PARTY. Another question: IF something has happened to znuicov WHY did it happen? That one is easy. Kruschev got scared of him and put him out of the way at the first opportunity. That's the way o despots. U.S. defense note: Army Secretary Wilber Brucker says rapid progress is being made in development of a missile to knock out any rocket fired at America. He is apparently refer ring to missiles designed to inter cept and shoot down an oncoming rocket (with an atomic warhead in its nose) before it reaches the United Slates. If what he says is true, military history is repeating itself. Since the beginning of warfare, every new offensive weapon has called forth a new and eventually cllec live method of defense. One of the interesting facts of history is that no possessor of new weapon has ever yet been able to use it to conquer the world. Leaping from the hazards of war to the hazards of peace, the Na tional Safety Council gives out with some encouraging news. It says that in the first nine months of 1957 highway traffic deaths have been reduced by the rather considerable total of 800. It adds that in this nine-month period 28 states have reduced their total of traffic deaths, with Idaho lead ing the procession with a reduction of 26 per cent. ' The report gives the credit to MORE CAREFUL DRIVING. Maybe we're getting somewhere. Suspect Held For Shooting City police are holding Tom J. Alfred, 40-year-old Klamath Falls man, on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with the late Thursday night gun shot injury to James Nave, 49-year-old local man.

SHOOTING HOURS OREGON November t OPEN CLOSE 6:12 9:01 November 3 OPEN CLOSE 6:12 5:01 CALIFORNIA November t OPEN CLOSE 6:09 4:59 November I OPEN CLOSE f: 4:59 A, With Knight SAN' FRANCISCO, Ml Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif.) said Friday that no deal was in volved in the persistent reports that Gov. Goodwin Knight has de cided to withdraw from the race against him for governor of Cali fornia in the 1958 primaries next June. The reports were that Knight now plans to seek the Senate scat Knowland is vacating in order to run for governor. Knowland issued a statement saying if the reports were true then Knight was acting "on his own responsibility" and "there has been no commitment directly or indirectly on my part." The charge of a deal came from Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown, who is seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Scanning published reports Knight has decided to switch from the governor to the Senate race. Brown called it "a cynical deal engineered by a grasping reaction ary with eyes fixed on the White House." Brown has accused Knowland of seeking to use the governorship as a pawn in a bid for the presi dency. The Los Angeles and San Fran cisco published reports that Knight has decided to withdraw created fresh turmoil in the hectic political campaign. Such a decision would, in effect, hand the Republican nomination for governor to Sen. William F. Knowland and spare the GOP a bitter intraparty battle in next June s primary. Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown Is unopposed on the Democratic ticket. - There was no direct confirma tion from the 60-year-old gover- nor. He left for a three-week rest Monday on doctor's orders after saying he still intended to seek reelection. Knight said then he had rejected overtures to run for the Senate. His press secretary, Tom Bright phoned the latest reports to Knight's secret retreat and quoted the governor as saying he had no comment. The absence of a firm denial was quickly noted here. Brown accepting the reports at face value, denounced Knight s as serted shift as "a cynical deal en gineered by a grasping reaction ary with eyes fixed on the White House." "The governor was forced to change his mind," Brown contin ued. "He became the victim of a plot engineered by Knowland that dried up the sources of his cam paign funds and enticed away many of his big name supporters. Knight was confronted with polls which showed him losing to Know land. He was then served with an ultimatum to either get out of the governor's race and campaign for the Senate or face certain politi cal death. Lonely and abandoned, he bowed to his masters." Why would Knight, as the in cumbent, agree to step aside? Knight, along with other.

Early, newspaper polls have shown Knight lagging behind Knowland in the Republican con test, and Knight might like to close out his long political career without a defeat.

N. Y. Ifl - The U. N. General Assembly end ed its bitter Middle East debate Friday after Syria agreed it would not press for action at this time. The Syrian declaration was part of an agreed formula to shut off the discussion without a show down on Syria's demand for U.N. inquiry and a rival proposal to have Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold step into tne pic ture. The key to the agreement was Syria's consent to let the matter rest without a vote on its resolu tion. The sponsors of the rival 7- nation resolution in turn agreed that they would not ask for a vote. The end of the debate was pre ceded by these rapid-fire develop ments. . 1. Indonesia, according to an ad vance arrangement, appealed to the sponsors of the two resolutions not to push for a vote. 2. Ambassador Hans Engen of Norway, speaking for the 7-nation proposal, told the Assembly his group was ready to comply if Syr ia would do so. 3. Syrian Foreign Minister Sa lah Bitar agreed. . 4. Sir Leslie Munro of New Zea land, president of the Assembly, took note of their declarations and expressed confidence that the del egates would regard this as a satisfactory outcome of the de bate. The issue was brought to the Assembly early this month by Syria, which charged that Turkey, with the support of the United States, was planning an attack on Syria. The Soviet Union vigorously sup ported Syria. Expert Tells Science Lag CHICAGO 10 A ranking scien tific manpower authority said to day it will be months before the government can even begin to retook- its scientific training pro grams to cope with "events of the past three weeks." The three-week period cited by M. H. Trytten covers approxi mately the time in which Russia lofted its Sputnik and claimed to have perfected a hydrogen war head for guided missiles. ; - Trytten added in a speech pre pared for a scientific and engi neering education conference: ' We know, loo, that in spite of all we can do in the next few years the shortage of high level researchers will remain and our relative supply in comparison to the Iron Curtain countries will be come worse over the immediate future measured in years." Trytten is director of the Office of Scientific Personnel of the Na tional Academy of Sciences-National Research Council, Wash ington. The twin agencies are non governmental but work closely with the government.

Along with the specu 1 a t i o n abroad of an intense power strug gle in the Kremlin, dispatches from Moscow reported an unusual scarcity of soldiers in the streets of the Soviet capital. Moscow streets traditionally swarm with soldiers just before the big military parade Nov. 7. But the reports said few military men have been seen in downtown Moscow recently and nightly mil itary rehearsals for the parade have not been held since Satur day. Civilian rehearsals continued last night with more than 100 ban ner-mounted motorcycles swarm- jing over Rod Square. The commander in chief of Egypt s armed forces, Maj. Gen.

Phot by Kettler KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMKKK I. 1037 KF Chamber Urges Kerbow To Support Boivin Measure The Klamath County Chamber of I Commerce has directed a wire to Representative John Kerbow asking I that Kerbow do all possible to bring : out of the House Tax Committee the Senate' bill which is designed to take the state out of the property tax business.

Th measure was introduced by Sen. Harry Boivin, a Klamath County Democrat, -Republican Sen. Warren Gill of Lebanon, and Demo cratic Sen. G. D. Gleason of Mult nomah County. During the 1957 Legislature, Rep resentative Kerbow was one of the key figures causing the bill to die on grounds that its passage would I namper the security oi governmen tal bond sales. The chamber telegram poinls out that Fred Paulus, chief deputy of the state treasury and bonding au thority, has said it is his opinion that the passage of SB 1 would in no way alfect the bonding security or the credit of the state.

In the message endorsing the, passage of SB 1, the chamber fur - ther pointed out that the property taxes in Klamath County could be increased as much -as 20 per cent if the state ever elected to assess a 6-mill property levy from the state level. Senator Boivin has steadfastly maintained that the state should be taken out of the property tax business, and that the ability of the state to levy the 6-mill tax is lone of the primary causes of the r ' -11'. , "i ill' state general fund surplus which now exists.

During Wednes day's 29-1 Senate passage of the measure, Sen. Monroe Sweetland was the only dissenting vote. He has previously maintained that pas sage of the bill would tend to re duce the security of state bonding measures.

Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 39.13 Tax Group Backs GOP Cut Plans By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM 11 The Oregon Senate appeared tnaay to favor wiping out tne 31 per cent income tax increases passed by the 1955 and 19o7 legislatures. This Republican plan was ap proved late Thursday by the Sen ate Taxation Committee by a 5-4 vote. It would prevent collection of 60 million dollars of the 74 mil lions that the Tax Commission estimates would be surplus at the end of the bienmum on June 30. 1959. It is a sharp contrast to Gov. Holmes' bill for a 10 per cent cut, which would cut taxes 18 mil lions during the biennium. The governor's plan was ap proved 33-26 Thursday by the House in almost a straight party line vote. The Republican minor ity in the House held out for a 25 per cent reduction. But the Senate Taxation Com mittee amended the bill by ap proving a reduction even greater than 2a per cent. Senate Republicans, having half the membership of the upper house, have the support of two Democrats. That gives them enough strength to put through their plan to roll back income taxes to the 1953 level. The two Democrats are Sens. Ben Musa, The Dalles, a mem ber of the Senate Taxation Com mittee; and Harry Boivin, Klam ath Falls. Both joined in propos ing the big tax cut. ' Although the Democrats control the Senate Taxatiori Committee 5-4, they couldn't get the commit tee to approve the 10 per cent cut because Musa voted with the Re publican members. The Senate probably will vote on the amended bill early next week. However, there is a feeling (Continued en Page Four) Four Soldiers Die In Wreck ABERDEEN Wl Four young Ft.
