MrCAN'N L'PI Foreign News Analyst Soviet Russia has laid the basis for an intensified "peace offen sive." The basis was laid at a meeting in Moscow of the eight Commu- nist-ruled members of the so called Warsaw Alliance, which Russia organized in answer to the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion. A communique and a declara lion issued at the end of the Pope To Name New Cardinal VATICAN CITY (AP) -The death of Samuel Cardinal Stritch has renewed speculation that Pope mis ah soon may call a con sistory to bolster the diminished ranks of the college of Cardinals. Possible U.S. candidates in anv list of new appointments would include Archbishop Richard Cush- mg of Boston and Archbishop John Joseph Mitty ot San Francisco. There has been no olficial word on a consistory, the gathering of cardinals which seconds the Pope's nominations to their ranks, and there will be no official word until the date for the meeting is announced, together with the names of the prelates who will be elevated to the princedom of the Koman Catholic Church. Pius XII has held only two con sistories during his 19 years on the papal throne. In 194S he named 32 cardinals, the largest number ever elevated at once. Seven years later he named 24 more, including the first cardinals from India, Ecuador, Colombia and Yugoslavia. The Pope said then he was con sidering an increase in the num ber of cardinals, set at 70 by Pope bixtus V 400 years ago, when the population of the world was esti mated at only 360 million people. Today Roman Catholics alone number nearly 500 million a fifth of the world s expanding popula lion. Since the 1953 consistory death and the toll of the years have weakened the college, whose members now average 72 years and shoulder burdens of adminis tration far heavier than those of the days of Sixtus V. The death ot Cardinal Stritch, 70-year-old archbishop of Chicago, cut the membership to 55 cardi nals and' left 15 places vacant. There are 18 cardinals from Italy and 37 from other nations.

They also restated Russia's sponsorship of the Rapacki Plan announced by Polish Foreign Min ister Adam Rapacki, to ban nu clear weapons bases in Poland Czechoslovakia and West and East Germany. In addition, the documents an nounced reductions in strength of the armed forces of Albania, Bui garia, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Romania. As is cuustomary in such Com munist pronouncements, the docu ments were blatant in their propa ganda. The Western allies, and espe cially the United States, were de nounced as aggravating world tension while Russia and its sat ellites vere struggling for peace- tui co-existence. There was nothing startling, or really even new, in the Commu nist documents. But they laid down a broad program for coop eration in the name of the eight Warsaw Treaty countries. The documents indicated that one big reason why Russia called the meeting was to try to build up the prestige of its east Euro pean satellites, to make them ap pear to be the equals of the members of NATO, in prepara tion for a summit conference. The declaration said that the Warsaw Treaty members "regard a heads-of-government conference as a major means to protect man kind from war disaster." It said that the United States had brought pressure on its allies to reject a Russian proposal for a summit conference with "broad representation." ' In view of the allied opposition to "broad representation," the Communist document proposed that three or four countries on each side take part in the con lerence. Expert Views Shasta TV MONTAGUE-After testing vari ous sites for the proposed installa tion of an Adler Television sys tem, John Newton, field engineer of the Industrial TV Corporation of Los Angeles, announced "that the outlook is excellent for TV coverage for all of Shasta Val ley." Newton arrived in Montague on Friday evening. May 23, to meet with the Board of Directors and other interested parties of the Nor Sis Television Coporation at the Montague auditorium. On Saturday and Sunday, New ton together with Jim Dow, Wil son Grazier, Chet' Barnctl, Bill Swigart and Darold Crawford, scaled various mountain peaks and hills, testing where the best signal was obtainable. With the use of pickups and three jeeps, power equipment and other testing equip ment were transported to the high est peaks of Shasta Valley to measure strengths of stations in Northern California and Southern Oregon. Results showed excellent reception from Channels 2, 5. 7 and 12, respectively located in Klamath Falls, Medford, Redding and Chico. Newton stated, "More important than this, however, was finding sites for retransmitting these clear strong signals to the majority of viewers in the Shasta Valley." Newton agreed with Dow. Grazi er and Barnett that best coverage could be achieved by using two dilierent sites transmitting from Humbug eastward could provide excellent coverage for Montague, Yreka, Grenada and Little Shasta, east in the valley. Simultaneously another installation located in the vicinity of Weed would convenient ly cover Gazelle. Weed and Mount Shasta as well as intervening areas. With Ihe additional installation to gain full coverage of the larger area, rather than the limited cov erage of a smaller area, as first considered, the cost of installations will he somewhat higher, due to the fact that it would entail the installation of power and construc tion of roads. Jim McAdams. president of the Nor - Sis Television Corporation, stated that Ihe "next step was to raise the necessary funds for the two installations, and it is up to each of Ihe local areas that do want this new television service to demonstrate that desire by pur chasing their share of the expense involved in obtaining such a wide coverage."

HARVEY JR. SALEM (AP) State depart ments and legislative interim committees are busy dealing with problems for the Legislature, which meets here next Jan. 12. It already is certain that the next Legislature will have more and tougher problems than ever before. The list should be enough to discourage even the most op timistic lawmakers. The most difficult problem is balancing the budget. There just won't be enough revenue during Ihe 1959-61 biennium to finance current state activities. The agenda being prepared by the deoartments and interim com mittees calls for greatly added ctsts of government.- For instance, the State Board of Control will ask for 19V4 million dollars for institution buildings. The State Board of Higher Educa tion probably will want 20 millions for college and university build ings, plus more millions to take care of the increasing enrolment. The Highway Commission wants to increase gas taxes one cent a gallon and add $5 to the annual $10 cost of license plates. The com mission says it must have this in crease to finance Oregon's share of the interstate highway program. Oregon employers are certain to got higher payroll taxes. The tax now isn't large enough to pay the jobless benefits. The public school lobbyists will demand an increase in the basic school support fund. Those are the more expensive items facing the 1959 Legislature. Costing many millions of dollars, thev make talk ot a state tax re duction sound rather futile. But there are some otner Dig nroblems being considered now for presentation to tne Legislature. These include putting tne siaie into the power business, how to California Weather By United Press International San Francisco Bay Area: Fair today and tonight; partly cloudy Friday: high fog near coast ex tending over area in early morn ing; high today San Francisco 67, Oakland 72.

There are many more contro versial issues than that, such as what to do about the rural school law which is causing hardship in some districts. It seems as though all the issues faced by Legislatures in the past 20 years, plus some new ones, are being dumped into the next ses sion. The State Board of Education might have news at its June 12 meeting to make the school chil dren and the farmers very un happy. It will consider a recommenda tion by a committee of school ad ministrators and teachers that the schools maintain school for at least 180 days a year. The require ment now is 170 days. Generally, the board accepts the recommendations of its profes sional committees. The problem in the Willamette Valley is: How should the extra days be added? If extra time is added at the end of the year, the strawberry growers ODjcct. rney need the school kids to harvest their crops. If school is started earlier in the fall, the bean growers are hurt. spring vacation could be e im- inated. But many schools have their spring vacation during the state high school basketball tour nament. The kids who go to tour nament would take a dim view of cutting out that vacation. ihe school administrators heard all of these objections before they made their recommendation. They feel that the schools should ho open longer to provide more edu cation. WILL FORM NATION EVERGREEN park- til 'UPD-James T.

The amended action, brought on behalf of Stompanato's 10-year-old son John Stompanato HI, now liv ing in Hammond, lnd., was filed yesterday by Atty. William Pol lack. Pollack's new version of an original suit naming Miss Turner, her 14-year-old daughter, uneryi, and the girl's father, Stephen Crane, expressed doubt as to who might have stabbed Stompanato lo death last April 4. The new suit contended mat the boy's guardian, television produc er Jack Harris, didn't know ex actly what happened the night Stompanato was stabbed in Lana's Beverly Hills home. It said: For that reason he (Harris! is in doubt as to whether it was defendant. Cheryl Crane or defend ant Lana Turner who did the ac tual stabbing or whether the one assisted the other therein." Because of said doubt, the complaint went on, "plaintiff al leges that both of said defendants did inflict the said stab wound in the body of John Stompanato. A coroner's jury ruled that the slaying of Stompanato, handsome ex-body guard of former mobster Traffic Death Toll Declines CHICAGO (AP)-The nation's traffic death toll, for the sixth straight month, dropped in April and highway deaths in the first four months this year were the lowest for the comparable period since 1M. The National Safety Council said the four-month traffic toll this year of 10,330 was 8 per cent be low the loll of 11,200 in the first four months of 1957. The April highway deaths to taled 2,600. a decrease of 12 per cent from the 2,950 killed in April last year. It was the biggest de cline for any month since October 1956, the council said, and the 16th in the last 17 months in which deaths were the same or less than in corresponding months of the previous year. The council said the continuing decline in the traffic death toll cannot be attributed to less trav el. Latest available figures show that motor vehicle mileage for the first two months this year was up 2 per cent. A mileage death rale (number of traffic fatalities per 100 mil lion miles of motor vehicle travel) of 5.2 for the first two months this year was a record low for the period. The rate of 5.1 for Feb ruary alone was the lowest for any month in the nation's history, the council said. "The downward trend cansno longer be regarded as a flash in the pan," the council said. "We believe it reflects improved traf fic behavior by drivers and pe destrians, better traffic enforce ment and engineering and creased efforts by public officials on all levels, by automobile man ufacturers and by many organiza tions working for traffic safety."

Gas Stations Open Friday The man most frequently sought out 'by tourists for information the service station attendant will be well primed to do his duty, at least in Klamath Falls. The chamber of commerce is going to make certain of it. Chamber men will soon call a meeting of gas station owners and attendants. The whole problem of supplying information to out-of towners where to go, what to do, where to eat, sleep, etc. will be discussed fully.
