Parking Plan Passes; Funds Request Tabled The off-street parking problem and the future prospects of the downtown business area of Klam ath Falls were the dominating gubjects at the regular Monday night session of the city council. A group of downtown merchants appeared before the council to re quest that it form an off-street parking district which they, the merchants, would finance. Follow ing action cn this request, . the merchants then asked the council to appropriate both the money from parking meters and the oc cupation tax income to them for the purpose of purchasing off street parking facilities. t Greer Drew,,2041 Van Ness, pre sented the request for formation of the off-street parking district under the terms of a bill intro duced into the State Legislature by State Senator Harry Boivin in la The- Day's lews s By FRANK JENKINS 'The National Education Associ ation expresses disappointment with President Eisenhower's billion dollar education program. It calls tbe program inadequate and says the President has greatly; under estimated existing needs. ; It adds: . - ; "THE FEDERAL GOVERN MENT SHOULD GIVE TOP PRI ORITY TO CLASSROOM BUILD ING AND HIGHER SALARIES FOB TEACHERS." In this land of the free and the home of the brave, everybody is entitled to his opinion. Everybody is entitled to disagree with opinions which he regards as unsound. I find it impossible to agree with the NEAs assertion that in the present emergency the government should give TOP PRIORITY to classroom .building. Personally, I have had a red faced feeling for years that edu cated Europeans are better edu cated than educated Americans. There are many reasons, of course, why this might be. According to European theories of long standing, education is a privilege. The European idea is that if you don't want to take ad vantage of your opportunity to gain a well-balanced education you should GET OUT and give your place to someone who does. But that is another question. Let's get back to the National Education Association's contention that at this critical moment in our hictwit f Ua taAaffi) ifntummanl soohM J1yijtap--priority to class room "building. In Europe, school buildings are good, but not fabulous-. The realis tic Europeans go on the theory that the learning that is gained in school is more important than the building in which the learning is gained. In the situation in which we presently find ourselves, I can't help agreeing with their theory. Let's dig a little deeper into this subject. Assuming that - something is wrong with our school system that it isn't all it should be if our children are to be properly trained to face and solve the problems that will be theirs the trouble isn't necessarily ALL IN THE SCHOOLS. A wise and thoughtful and realis tic teacher friend said to me the other day: "If parents will send us prop erly disciplined students, WE WILL TURN OUT ENOUGH COMPE TENT SCIENTISTS AND ENGI NEERS TO MEET OUR NA TION'S NEEDS." This teacher friend added: "I heard a mother say the other day: 'I just can't do a thing with Johnny. I feel immense relief when I get him off to school where it is the TEACHER'S job to handle him.' " That raises this question: What has become of the old fashioned institution of DISCI PLINE IN THE HOME?

Drew pointed out that it was vi tal to preserve the high-value of the downtown district, and that the merchants must face the present traffic and off-street parking problems. The private parking areas are not sufficient to handle the needs now, Drew said. He pointed out that he could see the city growth attaining approximately 60,000 peo ple in this area in the future. How will we handle the traffic then," he asked, "where will we put the cars?" Eighth Street should be re opened," he suggested, "in order that we might move the cars around the downtown business rea more easily. Off-street park ing must be made available im mediately to keep the downtown area together. If something is not done, Drew warned, "it will be diffi cult to protect the high value dis trict. A continuing plan must be put into practice to keep the city alive and alert downtown. Drew also pointed out that since half of the taxes collected by the city comes from this area, a fall in value of this area would bring a heavier burden on property own ers elsewhere in the city. Summing up his presentation, Drew suggested two courses of action which the council should follow. "First," he suggested, "the council should start proceedings to form an off-street parking district, and second, the council should cer tify the city for urban renewal funds. It was pointed out in the en suing discussion that the present assessed value of the downtown area to be involved in the district amounts to slightly more than two million dollars, and that the money to be raised to purchase off-street parking facilities would total about $300,000. Problems of methods of assess ment against the property to be included in the district had not yet been worked out by the group, and while they admitted there might be some problems involved, they appealed to the council to form the district and then grapple with the problems. The council agreed to the re quest, and asked City Attorney Henry Perkins to draw up the necessary resolution to begin for mation of the district. Al Haltan. 819 Pacific Terrace, presented the Merchant Commit tee's second request for council action. In requesting that the city set aside parking meter revenues and occupation tax income for the pur pose ot acquiring oft-street pant ing facilities, Hattan pointed out that the meters were there in die first place because the business places attracted the people, "There is a need to keep those currently shopping downtown com ing, and to attract others by mak ing it easier to park with more parking spaces available," Hattan said. The money in the meters. he continued, "according to our way of thinking should be used to improve the present parking fa cilities." Discussing the budget problem such a move would create, Hat tan said, "We realize that the city has use for every penny of reve nue it. can obtain, but' speaking for the merchants of the downtown area who pay about half of the city taxes, we want the council to increase levies for the various de partments so they can release the parking meter money for use in making the downtown area a big shopping center." Councilman Walter Fleet pointed out that money from the parking (Continued on Page Four) RED MEMBERSHIP DRIVE ROME (UP) Italy's Commu nists, trying to regain the mem bership lost during their worst postwar crisis, threw the party's doors open to any repentant reb els today. Number two man in the party, Luigi Longo, announced the policy before leaving for Moscow Monday. He said "the doors of the Communist Party are always open to those who in a moment of con fusion abandoned its ranks and now honestly recognize the error they made." The party has lost an estimated 200.000 members during the past year. this is not a iroposal to give things away," liurham said. "It is a question whether we will co operate with our own allies and make considerable savings by do ing it." The proposed amendments ,'vould give the President discre tion to turn over weapons data manufacture. As for actual weapons, the amendments would allow the non nuclear components to be turned over to allies, but the United States would retain control over the atomic portions of Its own weap- Price Five Ceats M Pages KLAMATH FALIA OREGON, TUESDAY. JANUARY 28, 1958 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 4007 Pact Chiefs Back Move To Build-Up ANKARA, Turkey Wl The Baghdad Pact Council of Min isters approved Tuesday long term plans for a strategic system of roads, ports, airfields and ra dio telecommunications. If car ried out, the project will cost bil lions of dollars over a period of several years. The five-nation conference with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles sitting as an American ob serverokayed the plan in approv ing the report of the pact's mili tary committee. Other aspects of the committee's report were not immediately dis closed. Informed sources said the Coun cil was moving, however, toward turning the military planning group into a full-blown unified command. An Iranian move last year to set up a NATO-type com mand failed to go through because of proposals that Iran's King, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, become the supreme, commander. The plans approved Tuesday would provide a communications hookup from the Dardanelles to Khyber Pass, trunk and lateral highways, civil airports which could be used for military pur poses and seaports with harbor and storage facilities on the Med iterranean, Persian Gulf and In dian Ocean. The conference continued a sur vey of the Middle East political scene. Weather FORECAST Klamath .

Summit Meet Bid Rejected WASHINGTON Wl - The State Department rejected Tuesday Ni kita Khrushchev's suggestion that East-West leaders seek to settle easy -problems first at a summit conference and then tackle tough er issues. At the- same, time, the depart ment rebuked the Soviet Commu nist Party chief for presenting "distorted views" of United States policies and motives. A department spokesman told news conference the United States is standing firm on its view that lower-level conferences are nec essary before any East-West sum mit meeting. . The spokesman, press officer Lincoln White, commented on re marks Khrushchev made Monday night at a Moscow cocktail party, as well as a speech the Soviet leader made last Wednesday at Minsk. "We cannot believe that the Minsk speech of the first secre tary of the Soviet Communist Par ty or, indeed, his remarks at the cocktail party last night should be intended as an adequate re ply," White said. . Khrushchev, in a gay mood, told newsmen at a reception celebrat ing India's independence in re gard to a summit meeting: "Why not start by agreeing on the simplest things, like eating a meal? First you have the appe tizers, then soup and fish. Then, the main course. We should do the same. Let us agree on simple things first."

What's more, he said, the steel head that had made off with the rod was still hooked. Johnson grabbed the line and brought the fish in, hand over hand, right up to the boat.

Wl Sput nik 11 is making its final visible evening appearances over the United Stales for the present. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory said Monday night by the end of the week its pass age will be so early in the eve ning the sky will be too bright for it to be seen. When Sputnik II next appears in a couple of weeks it will start series of passages before sun rise. The Russian moon is traveling about 403 miles high in its sweeps across the nation in a north north west to south southeast direction. Tuesday night's third passage starts in the Portland, Ore., area about 5:30 p.m., PST, crosses Ne vada and leaves the country over southwest Arizona. A final passage Tuesday nieht at 7:10 p.m. PST over the Pacilic Ocean will he visible from the West Coast only. The final passage Wednesday night starts at 6:11 p.m., PST, entirely over the Pacific and will be visible to Western states only. Venezuelan Forces Pledge Support To Ruling Junta CARACAS, Venezuela W Ven ezuela's ruling junta, won the support Tuesday of the civilian group that sparked the overthrow of dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez. The civilian patriotic junta is sued a new manifesto declaring it had confidence in the national unity and was fully backing the new regime. Order was being restored quickly. Only a few scattered rifle shots were heard in the capital Monday night. The armed forces earlier prom ised their all-out support. The pledge was delivered to the junta president. Rear Adm. Wolf gang Larrazabal, last night as the new regime made progress in bringing order out of the turmoil that followed the ouster of dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez. Defense Minister Jesus Maria Castro Leon told Larrazabal the armed forces were "united in trie most absolute form in their deci sion to support absolutely the present government." Larrazabal declared the pledge gave his five man group the needed power to ensure peace again. Larrazabal said earlier he ex pected the United States would recognize his regime soon because we are good brothers. One ticklish issue was cleaned up with the departure of former Argentine dictator Juan D. Peron lor the Dominican Embassy when The men are guests of Region 6 of the U.S. Forest Service and re looking over some of the facilities on the Klamath Ranger District, a subdivision of Rogue River Na tional Forest. Both hinted that the crux of their report will be the need for road construction equipment, sim ilar to that used in this country. The pair, who will leave the states around the first of March, will have completed six months of observation most of which was spent in the Northwest, .. Yang and Han Will spend three days here and visit Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Johns-Manville, and Modoc Lumber Company be fore going on to Grants Pass. "Americans tell the truth, Yang said. "For example, Sputnik. We know you failed, but we don't know if, when the Russians sent up Sputnik, whether it was their first, second or third attempt. He also stated "Sino-Amcrican relations are very good. Chinese have the highest regard for Amer icans and vice versa." Yang concluded, "We will return to Formosa and put what we have learned to good use." Kite Manipulator Has Close Call MENLO PARK, Calif. W-Tom Mazi, 17, who flew a 12-foot kite Sunday with a plastic-insulated wire, is alive to tell about it today because the wire was too light to carry 4,000 volts. Police said the wire melted im mediately and broke the contact when it fell over two 4,000-volt power lines. Pacific Gas Jr Electric Co. men said he would have been eleclro cutcd if the wire had not melted. He was treated for a burned finger and slight shock at Palo Alto Hospital. the revolt erupted, hastily decided to leave after armed bands fired twice on the embassy. The junta supplied a plane for his trip. On arrival in Ciudad Trujillo, Peron said he would leave soon for Eu rope by sbip, to "get some rest." Junta sources said peace had been restored in 93 per cent of the country. Threats of a counter revolt by followers of the ousted dictator apparently were disap pearing. But vigilante teams and junta raiders still scoured outly ing cities and towns, rounding up scores of former secret police and informers. Dozens of others were killed or wounded while trying to flee. The junta also launched an in vestigation of the former regime's operations. Larrazabal said a commission had been appointed to look into financial dealings of the former dictator, said by presiden tial palace sources to have had nearly 250 million dollars cached abroad. In another report reminiscent of charges made agaiast Peron slter he was thrown out of Argentina, a naval investigating commission naid Perez Jimenez had held "bac- jchar.alian revelries" at a three- million-oollar pleasure palace on an island 100 miles northeast of Caracas. The report said the for mer president got drunk, dashed about on a motor scooter chased women on (he beach. and Army Ready To Launch Space Moon CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. W- A mighty Jupiter-C missile stood poised on its launching pad here Tuesday, ready for its effort to propel a 30-pound American earth satellite into space. The blastoff is expected Wednesday or Thurs day. This Is a chance the Army has long awaited. It claims it could have fired a satellite into orbit as far back as 1955, long before the Russian Sputniks, if it had not been ordered to stand aside and let the Navy do the job with its Vanguard rocket. Now, in the wake of the Navy's latest failure to get the tempera mental Vanguard off the ground, there is furious activity around the Jupiter-C firing platform. Ob viously, the Army has its go-ahead and is close to its zero hour. The weather is perfect. The ta'l Jupiter tower stands in bright sunshine and workmen swarming over it can be seen clearly from the beaches outside the top-secret firing range. Nobody talks officially but optimism is high. Many experts have expressed the opinion that the Jupiter-C, a creation of the German scientist Wernher von Braun, has a better chance than the Vanguard to put the first American "moon" into orbit around the earth. The first Vanguard blew up on its firing pad here Dec. 6 after an immense publicity buildup. Last week, a four-day effort to shoot a second Vanguard ended in failure. Bad weather and mechanical dif ficulties were blamed. Following thai attempt, the Van guard was dismantled and there seemed no chance that it could be put back together and readied for shooting for several days. That cleared the way for the flight of the Jupiter-C. The Jupiter-C satellite will weigh 29.7 pounds, nine, times more than the little aluminum sphere the Vanguard has tried to launch. Wreck Injures Baseball Star GLEN COVE, N.Y. Wl Base ball's Roy Campanella, star catcher of the Dodgers, fractured his neck in an early morning car wreck here Tuesday. Doctors sub sequently performed a four-hour, 20-minute operation. They did not immediately make public a report on it and there was no word as to when further information might be given out. Campanella came out of the op- crating room about 1 p.m. There seemed little question that the home-run slugging catcher's big league baseball ca reer was at an end, however good his recovery from the injury might be. A team of seven surgeons had sought to relieve a pinch of the spinal cord which caused almost complete paralysis of Campanel la s body. He was pinned In the wreckage half an hour after the accident at 3:30 a.m., and was pronounced in critical condition following his removal to Glen Cove Community Hospital. The 36-year-old Campanella, who has been beset by injuries of one kind or another during his long baseball career, was return ing alone to his home here fol lowing a New York television ap pearance when the mishap oc curred. The crash made noise so great that a number of persons rushed Irom their homes in the vicinity to investigate. Among them was a physician, Dr. W. S. Gurnee. Dr. Gurneo gave Campanella an injection but said later the base- hall player felt no sensation from the needle and that "it doesn't look good for his baseball ca reer." Police informed Campanclla's wife at home and took her to the hospital. The couple have six chil dren, ranging in age from 4 to 18. Only Monday the Dodgers had signed reserve catcher Rube Walker. For the position they also have John Roxborough and some youngsters. Hunt Pushed For Lost Boy WILLOWS, Calif. Wl The search for 12-year-old Boy Scout Dennis Wurschmidt went into its fourth day today with no trace of the boy in rugged, snow-packed Mendocino National Forest. Dennis and 11 other scouts were playing "capture theflag" Satur day afternoon and Dennis had the flag. His companions, chasing him down prccipitious Grindstone Can yon 40 miies west of here saw him slip on a log, get up and run on They gave up the chase. A storm left three feet of snow in the area that night. Blood- hounds have been unable to pick up th boy scent, j McElroy Reports US Military Position Okay WASHINGTON Wl Secretary of Defense McElroy told senators Tuesday that "on the whole our military position is sound. At the same time he urged speedy appro priation of more than a billion dollars to step up programs for ballistic missiles and related de fenses. McElroy was lead off witness in a closed-door session of trie ben ate Appropriations Committee on an emergency money bill contain ing 81,260,000,000 of new funds plus transfer authority on $150, 000.000 of old funds. The measure won unanimous passage in the House last Thurs day and is expected to get similar Senate treatment, possibly with some additions. It was McElroy's initial appear ance before the Senate purse string committee as secretary of defense. He took over the post from Charles E. Wilson, auto in dustry executive, after- the end of the last session of Congress. McElroy said the emergency fund measure "is in effect, an ad vance action of the 1959 program" already under consideration by the House. That was a reference to the de fense money bill for the fiscal year that begins next July 1. McElroy's prepared testimony was made available to newsmen outside the closed-door session. Accompanying him were assist ant Secretary of Defense McNeil, sometimes called the financial manager of the Pentagon, and Gen. Nathan F. Twining, chair man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In advance of the committee meeting Sen. Russell (D-Ga) said he is afraid President Eisenhow er's defense budget does not pro vide enough military "strength in being. He predicted Congress will put up more money for the stra tegic Air Command. The secretary also disclosed that more than half of 135 'millions of emergency funds voted last year had been used in pushing missile projects. He asked authority to transfer additional funds which ' will enable us to explore promptly any break-throughs or unantici pated technological develop ments." This request was approved by the House. Russell, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in an interview he will support a move to provide funds for pur chase of additional long-range bombers while missiles are being perfected. We have got to step up our Strategic Air Command to in crease our strength in being," he said. Despite the development of missiles, the manned bomber Is not obsolete. It Is going to be with us a long, long time." .. . The Senate Preparedness sub committee had heard testimony that SAC remains the backbone of U. S. power to strike back. One of the subcommittee'! 17 recom mendations was to "modernize and strengthen the strategic air force." While Eisenhower's new budget contains some funds for the fast Union Linked To Gambling WASHINGTON Wl A cluster of witnesses swore Tuesday that three officials of the Operating Engineers Union ran organized gambling on a Delaware job site, preying on the pay checks of un ion members. There were immediate denials from the three officials F red Ferro, Paris (Keggy) DiSlmone and Joseph Valentino. Four witnesses had named them as the men who ran dice, card, numbers and horse betting games at the Tidewater job in Tide water City, Delaware." One after another, the three ac cused told the Senate Rackets Investigating Committee that there was a lot of gambling by work ers on that job. But they said they didn't run it and had never considered it was organized gambling. All are lower-echelon officials of the union's Philadel phia Local 542, which embraces much of Pennsylvania and all ol Delaware. British Troops Open Fire On Rioting Cypriot Turks NICOSIA. Cyprus Wl British troops and Turkish CyprioU bat tled again Tuesday on Cyprus lor the third successive day. The Brit ish opened fire on them for the first time, and four persons were killed. Security forces were braced for still more trouble with the island's Turkish minority, which planned a mass protest in connection with the funerals of two of their people killed in the battling Monday be tween demonstrators and British forces. The earlier demonstrations had been sparked by Turkish fears that Britain might cede the island to Greece. But Tuesday the Turks were inflamed by the killing of an aged Turkish man and woman Monday. Both were hit by miff tary vehicles trying to push through stone-throwing mobs. The British previously had held their fire but Tuesday opened up on a crowd of young Turks try ing to enter the walled lurKisn quarter of Nicosia to attend the funerals. Two Turkish boys were killed and others were reported wounded. British military headquarters also said two men were killed in disturbances in the port of Fama- gusta. British forces also wore report er-than-sound B58. which still Is in the experimental stage, no money is provided for continued production of the slower B52 be yond the previous authorization for purchase of 601 of the latter craft. Secretary or uetense MCtiroy told the subcommittee in cen sored testimony that the new budget calls for a "fairly limited" number of B58s. In the Preparedness subcommit tee hearings, Deputy Secretary of Defense Donald A. Quarles was pressed as to whether the depart ment would order additional B52s.

STUDENT VISITS" PROPOSED LONDON (UP) A government spokesman said today the Soviet relations committee of the British Council has invited 300 Russian students to visit Britain for short periods. Ian Harvey, joint foreign undersecretary, said the commit tee also 'had offered annual ex changes of 20 students In the Rus sian and English languages as well as two British scholarships for teachers on a reciprocal basis. The Soviet government is consid ering the proposal, he said. ed battling angry crowds of Turks inside the walled sector. The British imposed a curfew in Famagusta s walled city, ana Turkish dock workers, the bulk of the port's labor force, went on strike. Turkish flags flew at half staff throughout the island in mourn ing for those killed Monday. Osman Orek, secretary of tne island's Turkish party, told news men he could not control his en raged people. He warned that an-. thorities should keep the sector under curfew during the funeral. The British ordered a curfew on the area yesterday afternoon after two days of pitched battles between British forces and Turk ish mobs shouting for partition of this British-ruled Mediterranean island. But thousands of Turkish residents defied the curfew to stage new demonstrations last night. The rioters yesterday stood off repeated charges by British troops and Turkish Cypriot police wield ing batons and hurling tear gas grenades. The mob set fire to tho island's largest civilian garage and gaso line station and took up positions on the walls of the old city to pre vent fire engines and ambulances from getting through.
