In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS This is the 40lh anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution which was the door through which the modern institution of communism entered the world. That brings up an interesting point. The Bolshevik revolution couldn't have succeeded if it hadn't been for the Russian army. Back in 1917, the Czarist army was starving and freezing and dy ing in the World War I trenches. It was inadequately clothed, inadequately fed, inadequately armed and inadequately led. It revolted against the Czarist government, and the Bolshevik revolution followed. The revolt of the army gave the Bolsheviks, who were the immediate predeces sors of the communists, the strength they needed to take over. On this 40th anniversary of the revolution, the communist dicta torship of Russia, led by Krus chev, is riding high, wide and handsome. It is blowing the propa ganda trumpet as the propaganda trumpet was never blown before since history began. It is backing up its propaganda campaign with some definite and tangible scien tific and industrial achievements that can't and MUSTN'T be laughed off. is a skeleton in the Krus chev closet. The skeleton is ZI1UKOV. Marshal Zhukov is (or shall we say was) a popular military hero. He was so important that a while back Kruschcv had to take him into the lodge presumably to make sure of the Red . Army. It couldn't have been Zhukov ALONE that Kruschev felt he had to have on his side. He must have known, or at least felt, that back of Zhukov were other military leaders who could be expected to support Zhukov in whatever ob jectives he may have had in the way of influencing the destinies of the communist state. Kruschev must have NEEDED these leaders of the Red Army, or he wouldn't have made the conciliatory gesture that was in volved in his giving to Marshal Zhukov the title of minister of de fense. r ... . . Well In some manner whose details are not known to the world, he double-crossed Zhukov and broke him and threw him-on the scrap heap. I think it must be assumed that Zhukov's friends and associates and co-workers in the Red Army must be displeased with what has happened to their leader. They must be apprehensive over what happened. They must sec in Zhu kov's disgrace and degradation a menace to their careers and per haps to their lives. That thought, at least makes icnse. This is the Kremlin's big day, and Kruschev and his crowd arc! making the most of it. They are putting on quite a show and it can't be denied that the rest of the world is immensely impressed. I But- I I think we can safely assume that on this day of days Krus chev's mind isn't entirely at ease. In the back of his crafty and scheming brain must lurk the memory that without the Russian; army the Bolshevik revolution! could not have succeeded when it' succeeded. , That must prompt the thought!! that if the Red Army is still 'I secretly loyal to Marshal Zhukov jj all of Kruschcv's crafty schemes; to glorify himself MIGHT GO TO POT. i Mayor Signs Proclamation Commemorating Vets Day Setting aside Monday. November 11, as a day to be dedicated to all veterans, Mayor Lawrence Sla ter officially proclaimed it as Vet erans Day. Members of the Allied Veterans Council witnessed the signing of the proclfmation Wednesday aft ernoon which pointed out that the New Potato Grades Eyed WASHINGTON Wl The gov ernment proposes to revise its grading standards for potatoes in a step designed to make them re flect a better quality product. Announcing this Thursday, the Agriculture Department said its present grades do not reflect present-day grading and packing practices used generally by ship pers. The present-grades were set up 25 years ago. If adopted, the new grades would allow fewer defective po tatoes and fewer small ones. In terested persons have been asked to submit views on the proposed changes. It is Ihc department's present plan to put revised stand ards into effect next Jul 1, Three persons in Corvallis, who went to hills, reported seeing Sputnik II about 5:40 a. in. A number of persons on fog-free heights in Portland also sighted it about the same time on its south-fc-nortb course. Two persons in Hood River said they watched it for 2'j minutes, beginning at 5:39 a. m. The satellite was observed at the same time by two persons in the Gresham area east of Port land. . . Sputnik II will be visible in the Pacific Northwest again Friday morning, weather permitting. The Smithsonian Astrophysical observatory at Cambridge, Mass., said the satellite will sweep from the southwest over Vancouver, B. C, at 5:54 a, m. ' Skywatchers from all parts of the Klamath Basin rose early to day to sight Sputnik II as it flashed for a few seconds across the sky between the North Star and the Big Dipper at about 50 degrees above the horizon. Calls on the satellite flooded the Herald and News switchboard before presstime. Sputnik appeared out of the southwest and disappeared into the northeast, according to most re ports, was extremely bright and traveled at great speed. The sat ellite was easily visible with the naked eye f o r a few seconds. Time of the sighting varied from 5:31 a.m. to 5:40 a.m. according to locations from Merrill to Lake view. K. J. Greene, engineer with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation said it was very bright. Frank O'Con nell, 5749 Leland Drive, Southern Pacific engineer, estimated he walfhed it for 25 seconds. It 'ap peared as a very bright star against the dark sky and he felt that it was worth the effort of early rising to view it. Baldy Evans, Klamath Falls, also said it appeared very bright, more like a meteor and "is cer tainly worth seeing." He went a block to call a neighbor who missed it. W. B. Crosscn. 1006 Laurel Ave nue, logger for Ned Putnam, Mrs. E. L. Clayton, 5241 Bryant, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Lang, 4729 Frieda Street, a group of Pacific Tele phone employes standing on top of the telephone office building and many others here saw the space traveler. From Merrill, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Kandra reported the sat ellite came over Jit. Shasta with a peculiar brightness. They took time reports from Portland and San Francisco and computed the time for the local sighting from those figures. It was 5:36 when it appeared at Merrill. At Lakeview, Bruce Frank, ra dio dispatcher for the city and police department, saw a double sky phenomena, both the Sputnik j and the total eclipse of the moon at 5:42. He described the satellite as being orange colored, larger i than a star and directly over-1 head. Mrs. Austin Haven, Lake-i view, also reported seeing it. I The Russian orb will be seen! again over the Klamath country on Friday, November 8, at 5:49 a.m. and according to some local students of the space traveler, it may not be again seen in this part of the west. SHOOTING HOURS OREGON November 8 OPEN 6:18 CLOSE 4:55 CALIFORNIA November 8 OPEN 6:11 CLOSE 4:55 President of the United States has called upon citizens of this nation to commemorate and to pay ap propriate homage to the veterans of all the wars of this nation who have contributed so much to the preservation of this nation: to re member the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly on the seas, in the air, and on the for eign shores to preserve our heri tage of freedom. Mayor Slater stated, "I request all citizens of this city, business enterprises, veterans organizations and city officials to assist the state committee for the observ ance of Veterans Day, Novem ber II. 1957. in every way possible with appropriate ceremonies." The veterans council reported there will not be a parade this Veterans Day. However, they pointed out that both the VFW Club and the American Legion Club will be holding open house all day for both members and 1 guests. Gov. Robert Holmes has also i issued a proclamation marking this day. It was originally honored as Armistice Day, the date that marked the end of World War I. In recent years the day has been rcdedicatcd as a day of commem oration for all veterans of all wars I in which the nation has fought. Price Five Cents 40 Paget ' , HUNTER, HOLD YOUR FIRE: The first major flights of whis tling swans arrived in the Klamath Basin last week, accord ing to gams agents, and hunters are warned to be careful' in making sura that '.'that great big snow goose" isn't a whistling swan.

Western technicians have spec ulated the Soviets might try to land a rocket on the moon or an nounce some other spectacle as a follow-up to their launching of two earth satellites. The Russians, crowing over their scientific achievements, have given no indication of immediate plans to reach the moon, some 223,000 miles away. However, some Soviet scientists have said such a feat is within reach. Telescopes at the Naval Observ atory were trained at the moon last night, as they have been for some time in connection with a tnnomical studies related ' to -the International Geophysical Year. Cnitlr. W. M. Robinson,- acting superintendent of the observatory said -"We're not just looking to see if a red star suddenly blos soms on the moon. But if anything hits the moon we expect to see it. Meantime, skywatchers sought more sightings today of Russia s Sputnik II. A number of sightings were reported yesterday from widely scattered areas. Sputnik U s orbit carries the half-ton vehicle and its dog pas senger about 1,000 miles into space at its farthest point. Scientists at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Ob servatory in Cambridge, Mass., said the second Russian satellite will be at an altitude of about 140 miles when it passes over the United Slates. The Soviet news agency Tass said in Moscow last night that Laika, the little dog strapped in side Sputnik II, was in satisfac tory condition after four days .in the sky. The Russians have said they are getting radio information from the satellite on Laika's hoart action, blood pressure and breath ing. Tass said Sputnik II completed its 54th trip around the earth last night. This satellite was launched last Sunday. The Soviet news agency said .the first Russian space vehicle, a small sphere, had completed 500 circuits and its car rier rocket had finished 520 round trips.

October Dry, Cool In Basin October in the Klamath Basin proved to be much dryer and somewhat cooler than the same month a year ago according to figures from the I'SWB station on Link River. Total .precipitation for October of 1957 was 1.92 inches as com pared to 3.27 for October of 1956 and a normal figure of 1.08 inches Total precipitation since October to date is 1.92 inches against normal figure of 1.09. Mean monthly temperature for October of 1957 was 45.1 degrees compared to 47.2 last year and an all-records figure of 49.4 degrees. Highest recording for the month was 63 degrees on October 11. Coolest day was October 17 with a reading of 24 degrees. There were nine clear, partly cloudy and 15 cloudy days during the month. India, Reds Quit RC Meet NEW DELHI.

The biggest weapons displayed were a pair of what appeared to lie single stage rockets looking to bo 70-75 feet long, with a range guessed at 400-500 miles. The big puzzler of the show was a pair of giant mystery guns of unusual de sign and seemingly capable of firing shells with atomic war heads. Thursday's parade, watched by virtually every major leader in the Communist world, seemed to emphasize greater mobility and harder hitting power for the So viet armed forces. Parades in 1955 and 195ti showed no new weapons. Moscow Radio, in its broadcast about Thursday's parade, said the Soviet Union showed off a "new type of artillery based on the prin-j ciple of jet propulsion." It added: "According to the animation dis played among the diplomatic corps and foreign representatives. one could but guess at the per formance of these rockets." Most Western military men said they were stumped by the big guns. "They just don't add up," one of the hest informed said. "The guns appeared too heavy for their carriages and recoil." They estimated the outside di ameter at 16 inches with a bore probably ranging from 12 to 14 inches. No exact estimate was pos sible because the muzzles were covered by cloth caps. The Western concensus was that this year's show was not as im pressive as had been expected except to representatives of NATO powers most closely threatened by Soviet tactical weapons. Thirty-eight major rockets of varying sizes and shapes, all tactical, were displayed. A 1 1 of them had been heavily covered during rehearsals before the pa rade. The planned- flypast of new So viet planes was called off due to unfavorable weather. Rehearsals had shown no new military types but several new turbo-prop trans ports cited by Soviet publications have yet to be unveiled. Communist Party secretary Ni kita Khrushchev, other members of the Soviet government and vis iting officials of practically all the Communist countries in the world watched the parade from atop the Lenin-Stalin Mausoleum.

Senate Eyes . GOP Move r For Tax Cut By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.' SALEM 11 The Republican plan for a 30 per cent income tax reduction went before the Senat Thursday with its sponsors claim ing 17 of the 30 Senate votes. The tax issue, for which tha special session was called, is ex livcled to go to a Senate-House conference committee during the afternoon. It will try to compro mise the Republican proposal and the House-passed plan of Demo cratic Gov. Holmes to restrict the reduction to 10 per cent. The other part of the governor'! program to increase the $95 an nual basic school aid per school census child to $105 was assured of final passage with a Senate amendment providing that all of this five million dollar arauaj in crease be used for property tax relief. ' ,' Democratic leaders in the House said they would accept the Sen ate amendment. In the Senate's income tax de bate.

Pearson (D), Portland, Senate Democratic leader and chairman of the Sen ate Taxation Committee, said the Democrats have made a compro mise offer for a 15 per cent re duction, but that the Republicans refused to budge from their de mand for a 30 per cent cut. The Senate Taxation Commit tee put the finishing touches on the bill Wednesday afternoon, and sent it to the floor with a 5-4 U'"'"R- The sponsors of the 30 per cent cut say it would leave a surplus of 12 to 14 millions at the end of the biennium on June 30, 1859. Without any tax reduction at nil, which is a distinct possibility, the surplus would total about 75 millions. The amended bill would provide a rate schedule of 3 to 9 per cent. The present schedule is 4 to 11.6 per cent. It contains an escalator clause so that whenever annual personal income tax collections should fall below 60 millions a year, a new rate schedule of 4 to 10 per cent automatically would go into ef fect.
