Price Ten Cents 68 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE la The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS In these days when the troubles ot France hold the center of the world spotlight, it's easy to point Qui that the French got themselves into the mess they're in by TOL ERATING POLITICIANS instead of DEMANDING STATESMEN as their leaders. And- lt's true enough. The mess the French are in is due largely to politicians who re fused to face the facts of life particularly the hard FINANCIAL facts of life. In every financial crisis, the French politicians have chosen the- primrose path leading to the flowery pastures of infla tion in preference to the rough and often rocky road that leads to the rich and rewarding valleys of fi nancial stability. But How- about US? What right have WE to throw stones at France's financial win dows? We live in a financial glass house ourselves. For example: We came out of the war with a big debt. We SHOULD have started PAYING OFF our debt. If we had done so, we would have it paid down by now to the point where the burden of taxation would be bearable. If, in the prosperous years that followed the war, we had paid off our aeot or at least had paid it down to the point where it would be manageable we would be sit ting on the world now, with few financial worries. Instead, we took the easy way, ana puea up more debt. Another example: We came out of the war with a farm bill based on subsidies that were designed to PROMOTE FARM PRODUCTION in order to meet the demands, of war FOR FOOD. Knowing that with the end of world war would come a slump in the demand for food and more food and still more food (history tells us plainly there is never enough food in time of war) WE should havj repealed the subsidies. But we didn't. We took the EASY way and kept the subsidies going in time of peace. . As a result, we now have fabu lous agricultural surpluses that hang over the markets of the fu ture like a dark thundercloud. Put. it this way: When came the end of the war, STATESMEN would have started paying off our debt. When came the end of the war. STATESMEN would have repealed the farm subsidies that were de signed wholly as a war measure. But When came the war's end POLITICS, rather than states manship, ruled our governmental policies. So now, along with the French, we are paying the bill, When one elects to dance, you know, one must pay the piper. Ah, me! What a wonderful thing is hind . fight. It always has been that way A century aeo. John Greenleaf Whittier put these words in the mouth of the aging Judge as he watched comely Maud Muller rak ine the meadows swoet with hay: "Of all sad words of .tongue or pen. the saddest are these: IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN." Nearly a thousand years ago Omar the Tent Maker put the same thought in this quatrain: "The moving finger writes, and having writ . "Moves on, nor all your piety and wit . "Can lure it back to cancel half line, "Nor all your tears wash out a word of it." We LIVE, but we don't seem to LEARN. California Poised For Primary Vote SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Campaign spokesmen predicted Saturday that both Democratic Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown and Republican Gov. Goodwin J Knight would top Republican Sen William r. Knowland m Califor nia's primary Tuesday. Knowland partisans declared that even with a 7-5 Democra tic bulge in voter registration the Senate Republican leader would poll the high two-party vote over Brown. Brown and Knowland, battling lor the governorship, and Knight, who switched to the Senate race, are running on both tickets in the primary under the state's cross filing system. So are most other candidates. The outlook, however, is that no body seeking statewide office will come away with double nomina tions tantamount to election. Brown, Knowland and Knight all have two-party sweeps to their credit in past elections. Instead, the results mainly fig ure to give some idea of the rela tive bipartisan appeal of Brown and Knight, who campaigned ex tensively, and Knowland, who didn't. Everything points to final deci sions in November. Upwards of three million of the 6.280,176 eligible voters are ex pected to show their preference for party nominees for seven statewide posts, 100 state legisla tors 20 senators, all 80 assembly men and 30 congressmen. There are serious intraparty contests only for Knowland's Sen ate seat on the Republican ticket and for Brown's job as attorney general on both slates aside from the heavy competition in most of the legislative races. One party official talked about a Democratic landslide. Roger Kent, Democratic state chairman. said Brown will get a plurality of around 400,000 maybe even more. . . Death Follows Traffic Check MOUNT VERNON. N.Y. AP- At 4:20 a.m. Saturday an officer in nearby Greenwich, Conn halted a speeding car. A verbal warning about his driving was given the motorist Llewellyn C. Byrd, a 30-year-old Negro and an orderly at Green wich Hospital. After the repri mand, Byrd was allowed to proceed. Byrd's destination wasn't learned but somewhere he picked up uiree young hitchhikers. At 5:35 a.m. Byrd and his three passengers were driving westward through Mount Vernon, about 15 miles southwest of Greenwich, on Westchester County s Cross Coun ty Parkway. Suddenly, parkway police said, Byrd's car veered across the di viding line in the center of the highway and smashed head on in to a New Jersey station wagon go ing in the opposite direction. Byrd was killed and his three hitchhiking passengers critically injured. The impact was so great that tne station wagons front was shoved onto the top of the vehicle. Moments later the wreckage of the station wagon was a mass of flames. In it, three adults and two children died. FOUR FACES OF DE GAULLE: "Humility? No, De Gaulle is not a humble man .

(AP)-A wet and shivering girl, lost seven days in tangled bush country, was found sleeping behind a fallen tree Saturday. Brought out of the wilderness into her mothers arms, 11-year-old Carol Johnson said she lived on grass and weeds during her week-long light with nature. "I was praying constantly," said her mother, Mrs. Walter Johnson. "1 had faith 1 would see her again, even thougn the rest thought she was dead." Carol was found sleeping along a bush road while a search party of 500 volunteers exerted a final effort to locate her. Saturday's hunt was to have been the last of a week of slosh ing through the dense undergrowth at the eastern end of the Lakeof the Woods, north of Rainy River, a Minnesota-Canadian boundary community. Carol disappeared last Satur day afternoon. Her mother thought at the time the nature-loving girl had followed a fox into the woods. "I was just going out to find Daddy's cattle," Carol told her mother at the Rainy River Hos pital where she was taken for observation. Hospital attendants said Carol apparently suffered no ill effects other than scratches. She was wet and cold, but otherwise unharmed her mother said.

Czechoslovak Foreign Minister Vaclav David summoned the am bassadors of the Big Four, Poland and Romania in Prague to hand them a memorandum demanding that there be no further delays. According to the Czechoslovak news agency CTK. the memoran dum said. "Attempts to belittle the signitkance of the summit meeting and to delay its convoca tion have recently been intensi fied." It said opponents of the confer ence, assuming a lull in public opinion, "seek to cast in doubt its purpose and opportuneness." Czechoslovakia is one of four member countries authorized by the Warsaw Pact organization at the recent Moscow meeting to rep resent the East in summit talks. in preparing for the crisis which France now (aces. He has done so conscientiously, much like a soldier would prepare for battle. He knows that the responsibilities which lace him are enormous. Part of Hie 12 years has been spent in filling In the gaps in his own knowledge. Quite Irankly, De Gaulle was unprepared for office when he headed the provisional government in 1945. With history and foreign policy as his special ties, he was woefully ignorant of domestic afiairs, Now he reads widely, everything from the novels of Francoise Sagan to the writing of Karl Marx, with emphasis on economics, which has always been his weak spot. He also reads everything written about him that appears in the press. And he sees many men, ranging from the American. Ambassador to France to French Communist boss Jacques Dticjos. And he listens. Unlike most great men. who aro prisoners of them selves, De Gaulle is a great listen er. He is not an easy man to talk to: there are long, uncomfortable silences during which his visitor squirms. In fact, conversation with him is apt to turn into a monologue, in terrupted only by the general's question, "What exactly do you mean by that word?" When his visitor fimsncs outlining an idea the. general pounces upon it, ana lyzes it, strips it down to its es sentials. He is no finishing the third volume of his memoirs, and he has perfected a writing style such as France has not seen since the. 18th Century. I recall that when I took the diplomatic corps ex aminations, De Gaulle's books were cited to us as examples upon which to model our style. He also showed me some verse plays which he wrote when he was only 16, and which have never been published. Even at that early age he wrote perfect French. De Gaulle has a fantastic mem ory. For the most part, he has used no notes in compiling his memoirs, yet conversations, dates, places are recalled with exacti tude. He never speaks from man usenpt, although the speeches, for the most part, are written out be forehand At l7, the general is Unusually fit. He takes long walks in the forests nearby his village of Col-ombey-les-deux-Eglises. And he has stopped smoking, although at one time he smoked 60 cigarettes a day. Colombey he chose as his home for svmbolic reasons. Everything tinue this rate in 1958. with "the general is svmbolic.)

The department has announced it will pay banks and other lend ers interest at an annual rate of 1.75 per cent for funds borrowed to finance farm price support pro grams. It paid 3 per cent last year.

On that date 17 years ago De Gaulle rallied the nation with, "France has lost a battli France has not lost the war." Humility? No, De Gaulle is not a humble man. He is, if anything, a proud one. But after acknowl edging him as its liberator, what other honors could France offer him that would not appear cheap in comparison? This is the' way De Gaulle reasons. It has to do also with the strong streak of mysticism in De Gaulle. He views himself less as a man than as a historic process. This explains his habit of referring to himself in the third person plural, "We, De Gaulle." His very name has a mystical connotation, mean ing literally -of Gaul. In De Gaulle's conception if his tory, Franc-; is not just a matter of myth, it is an absolute necessi ty. For if trance is not enlisted in great causes, the nation be comes divided, falls into petty bick oring, according to the general. I am, convinced that Gen. de Gaulle will not consent to remain in power more than six months, or a year at the most. He believes that a leader should remain power only long enough to achieve one great deed, then he should de part. He understands the national temperament. He knows that the French arc impatient, volatile, Latin. He knows that if he were to overstay his welcome the na Guns Guard Uneasy Peace PARIS (AP) A gun-enforced silence fell over the Champs Elysees Saturday night. Patrols of steclhelmeted securi ty troops, all carrying rifles, marched up and down the side-' walks of the famed boulevard in the heart of Paris. Troop carrier vehicles were sta tioned in the center of the avenue, where taxis usually are parked. They were filled with armed men alert for any disturbances on the eve of Gen. Charles de Gaulle's takeover as French premier. Tourists from the United States, Britain, West Germany, Italy, South America and oilier coun tries sat at the tables of sidewalk cafes watching the ' troops. Gun butts brushed tables as the secun ty forces -moved past. The purpose of the show of force was to prevent disorders such as those that occurred Friday night. There were no new clashes. interest rates have declined They say the difference between the 1.75 per cent the department will pay and the 3'i per cent it will charge will about make up costs of financing the price sup port program. The department has been mak ing price support loans totaling two billion dollars and more a year. Most of the loans are made through local banks in crop pro ducing areas. SHOPPING PARIS (API- Mrs. Yvonne de Gaulle went shopping Saturday while her husband was sitting in vital sessions with French political leaders. France has been invaded. De Gaulle's stone house with its tow ers and fins gardens looks directly onto tne plain across which lies Germany. The simple life he leads is at variance With claims that he is personally ambitious. He has turned down nearly every honor that France coura offer him. The Presidency of the Republic was his for the asking in 1946, yet he refused it, just as he did pro motion to the rank of a seven star Marshal of the Army. The only decora'ion he ever wears is the Cross of the Lorraine. Even his tank of two-star brig adier general is not a permanent one, it having been conferred upon Nixon Relaxes In Georgia WASHINGTON UP Vice Presi dent Nixon is taking a quiet weeklong vacation at St. Cather ine's island, Ga. out of reach of telephones. An aide said Nixon left Wash ington by train Friday night and proceeded to the island Irom Mc intosh. Ga. Nixon took along some work with him, the aide said, hut the trip was primarily a vacation. Nixon came back recently from a strenuous tour of south en lea. tional exaltation would die down and he would find himself unpopu lar. I rememoer my first glimpse of De Gaulle. It was not long alter he had arrivd in London with two khaki shirts and 1(10 000 francs In organize the resistance. It took place on a anil field at Camberley, near London, where 1 was training as a paratrooper along with some 200 other Fi ench' volunteers, -y The. general had come to insbect us, and I remember thinking, .here is a very cold fish, indeed. We had half-expected him to praise us, give us a pep talk. Instead, he began in that passionless voice of his, "You must not think your selves superior. You are merely lucky. You are among the Jucky few who have been chosen to save the honor of France." His message to France in 1958 is much the same. No exhortations, no demagogic appeals, only a call for national unity to restore France's greatness. It is preposterous to claim that De Gaulle longs to be a dictator. He could have taken power by force in 1946, had he been so in clined. One of (he few occasions the gen eral is known to have lost his tem per was in 1946 when a high-ranking Army officer suggested that he engineer a coup d'etat. De Gaulle was shocked to the core that one of his officers could even think of be traying the republic. Recovering from his shock, he burst into an ger. Apropos of Gen. Hochc, the hero of the French Revolution who was murdered at the age of 27. De Gaulle remarked that he consid ered Hoche lucky to die so young. When asked why, De Gaulle re plied, "Because at the moment of his death he was plotting to stran gle the republic." De Gaulle has also remarked upon the oddity that not a single sirect in 1'aris is named Napoleon There is a rue Bonaparte, to Be sure, dating Irom the days when the young Lorsican was devoted to the repuolic; and there arc streets named for his victories. But the moment Napoleon became emperor, popular enthusiasm died down. The French were ashamed to grace their avenues with the name of a dictator. De Gaulle is a devout Catholic. goes to Mass daily.

The search began Friday after Sterling Vowel!, 12, and h i s brothers, Larry, 11, and Rocky, failed to return home. Police started a search of the slough on the tip of an unidenti fied man who said he saw three boys paddling around on a little rait. Auto Firms Stand Pat On Offer DETROIT (AP) - The United Auto Workers, already working without a contract at General Mo tors, conceded Saturday there was little chance of reaching agree ment with I-otd and Chrysler be fore those contracts run out Sun day midnight. UAW bargaining teams met with Ford and Chrysler and pre pared for a final session Sunday in elforts to win new contracts or day-to-day extension of old ones. ford and Chrysler, as did Gen eral Motors, have stood firm on an offer to extend the expiring three-year contracts for two years witn about 16 cents in wage in creases spread over that time. Au to production workers now aver age $2.43 hourly. GMs contract with the UAW ran out Thursday midnight, leav ing 300,000 GM workers without a UAW contract for the first tune in 21 years. GM turned down a union re quest for extension of the old con tract on a temporary basis until new pact is worked out. It seemed likely Ford and Chrysler also would refuse an extension, but company spokesmen said a decision would not be made until the final hours of the contract. UAW sources conceded it ap peared likely 100,000 Ford produc tion workers, who have been cov ered by UAW contracts since 1941, would lose that protection Sunday night. A similar situation faced 75,000 Chrysler workers who have been represented by the UAW since 1937. Union hopes that either Ford or Chrysler would make a surprise weekend move to break the solid front which the automotive Big Three have shown in negotiations appeared doomed. UAW President Walter P.

The Memorial Day observance opened the full panorama of sud den death on the highways flam ing single and multiple death car- car, car-truck and train-car col lisions. - The four biggest crackups snuf fed out a total of 21 lives. The death rate pushed well ahead of that set in 1955 when a record high traffic toll of 369 was counted for a three-day Memorial Day weekend. It outdistanced an advance estimate made by the National Safety Council. "Unless somebody slams on the brakes good and hard, the nation is headed for an all-time high in highway slaughter over a Mem orial Day holiday," said Ned H. Dearborn, council president. "We appeal to the good sense of drivers to slow down this need less death and destruction if for no other reason than it's you and your family who are involved." Accident fatalities spurted at the start of the holiday period, dropped off Friday night and then went into an ominous climb Satur day that safety officials called alarming.

At this time a year ago, 454 fires had cost $12,753. At the annual session earlier this year the legislature approved SI 50.000 for forest fire fighting.

The President called off Na tional Guardsmen who ringed the university grounds and arrange ments were made lor tne students to go home. , The President earlier had Changed education ministers and made ..other Cabinet changes in line with stuaent demands. The demands had set off riots in which 11 persons were killed after hoodlums took control of demonstrations.

EVERETT (AP) A rain-laden summer storm hit the Everett area early Saturday night and the sudden downpour halted traffic for about an hour on busy u. 6, High way 99, the state s main north- south route. The deluge resulted in the for mation of a huge lake in a natural basin on Everett's northern out skirts. The highway was buried under several feet of water and cars jammed up for blocks on both sides of the barrier before it drained enough for traffic to con tinue. There was no estimate of the actual amount of rain that fell during the storm, but long-time residents said it was one of the heaviest downpours they had ever seen in this area. Lightning which accompanied the storm knocked radio station KRKO off the air for several min utes and another strike splintered a utility pole in downtown Everett.

Future Spacemen May Be Frozen Prior To Journey OMAHA (AP) Freeze them. pack them aboard ship and send them on their way. They can be unfrozen at the other end. Fish? No, spacemen. It's the idea of Dr. Sydney C. Bausor, prolessor of biology at Creighton University. You sec, many planets are so remote that it would take a 25,- 000-mile-per-hour space ship hun dreds of years to reach them. But Dr. Bausor thinks the space travelers could survive in a froz en state of suspended animation. Body functions would he reduced to a dcath-i'ke standstill, then re vived at a future time. "This is not an insurmountable project." Dr. Bausor contends. "The first step would conceivably be to lower the metabolic rates, prohably by chemical means. Next, the body would be quick frozen, followed by freezedrying." If successfi.l. chemical changes which normally take place within cells would be arrested until ac tivated by a prearranged stimu lus.
