Day's km Primary Election Tests Knowland's Governor Bid By FRANK JENKINS General De Gaulle gets all the powers he demanded and now sits . alone in the driver's seat. All he has to do is to restore faith in government, squash a dangerous revolt in Algeria and pull France out of bankruptcy. Let's wish him luck and pass on to other problems. Speaking of problems, there's the dilemma faced by the London police. A contrite thief showed up this morning and admitted steal ing three pounds ($8.40 in bird of freedom money). He turned the cash over to the Bobbies, but for the life of him, he said, he couldn't identify his victim. Without a victim, the thief can't be tried. What to do about it? It's a puzzler, all right. They might try advertising. But, even in London, three quid are three quid and a lot of claim ants might turn up. A NEW prob lem would then arise how to iden tify the RIGHTFUL victim. Ah, me! The problems that face this modern world. There seems to be no end to them. More trouble in Britain where they have socialized medicine and the government picks up the tab for medical treatments. The just-published report of the People's Dispensary, which passes on the bills, includes the case of a tame mouse that had 20 stitches taken in its head after an en counter with a cat. What would YOU do with that one? I suppose if it was your pet mouse, you'd reason that it all comes out of taxes anyway and you might as well get your share. If you don't, somebody else will get it. At least, that s the way we Americans reason in the case of government grants for this and that and the other. We figure that if we don't go after the money some other community will and so it will cost us just as much in the long run. But enough of Britain. We have troubles of our own. In Pensacola, a regional meet' Ing of letter-carriers is in prog ress. Included in the business of the session was a formal report on the dog situation, ihe report, which was read this morning, re cites in precise and formal lan guage that only one mailman in five escapes a dog bite in the course of his professional career. It adds that carriers lose an average of ONE PAIR OF PANTS PER YEAR because of these at tacks' upon them by man's best mend. Hmmmmmm. How come this canine aversion to mailmen? THE DOGS DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE BILLS THE MAILMAN CARRIES. SAN FRANCISCO Wl A pri mary election testing Sen. William Knowland s bid tor the gover norship draws an estimated 4 million Californians to the polls today. The 7 a.m to 7 p.m. balloting 8 p.m. in San Francisco) settled party nominations as well for U.S. senator, all elective state officers, 100 of the state's 120 legislators and all 30 congressmen. These wre the key questions: 1. Whether Knowland can out- draw his Democratic opponent, Atty. Gen. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, in what amounts to a two party popularity contest. Each filed on the other s ticket com mon practice in California. Voter registration favors Brown with a 7-5 Democratic bulge. 2. Whether, and how many. Republicans will shun Knowland in protest against his decision to oppose OOP Gov. Goodwin J Knight for re-election. Knight s stormy big switch to the Senate Yuaos Answer Red Threat -BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) Yugoslavia told the Soviet Un ion Tuesday to live up to its cred it agreement or face what amounts to being sued for damages. The demor.d was,made in a note delivered hy Yugoslav Foreign Minister Koca Popovic to Soviet Ambassador Ivan Zamchevsky similar note was handed to Com munist East Germany's minister, Eleonora Steimmer. The Soviet government informed Yugoslavia last Tuesday that 285 million dollars in credits to Yugo slavia have been postponed for five years. This was an apparent beginning of an economic squeeze because of Yugoslavia's refusal to join the Soviet Bloc. The Yugoslav note firmly de- manded that the signed agreement be fulfilled. Yugoslavia refused to negotiate any postponement of the credits and said it will demand compensation for the damage caused by postponement of credits, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union concluded two agreements for So viet credits in 1956 amounting to 285 million dollars. These credits were to be used for building an aluminum combine in Montenegro, two fertilizer plants and some oth er industrial projects. UN Members See Possible Dispute End Bv WILLIAM N. OATIS UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP) U. N. delegates generally seemed hopeful today that French Premier de Gaulle and Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba might clear up the French-Tunisian dis pute now before the Security Council. Only the Tunisians showed skepticism. De Gaulle, installed in office Sunday, messaged Bourguiba that he had the intention of settling with you, if you are in agreement, the present difficulties between our two countries." But an inter viewer for the Rome daily II Tempo quoted Bourguiba last night as having said. De oauue or no De Gaulle. French troops must leave Tunisia."- The Security Council yesterday held an all-day debate on Tunisian and French complaints in which each country blamed the other for recent military action on Tuni sian soil. Resumption of the de bate was postponed until tomor row to await developments. One Western diplomat said De Gaulle's overture to Bourguiba ought to help things along. An Asian diplomat exclaimed, Good." But a Tunisian government source at the U. N. said French officials several times before had expressed willingness to settle things with Tunisia and their word was not sufficient. He told a re porter, "There is only one solu tion for France to recognize that she has to evacuate her troops from Tunisia and to agree with Tunisia on a timetable for their evacuation." Addressing the Council, Tunisi an Delegate Mongi Slim asked that it take "all appropriate meas ures" to assist in the evacuation of the 22,000 French troops still in Tunisia. He cited U. N. Charter provisions that authorize such en- lorcement devices as economic blacklisting and diplomatic quar antine. France undoubtedly would veto any proposal for such Coun nil action. French Delegate Guillame Georges - Picot said the French troops were in Tunisia by treaty. Unemployment Dips In Texas AUSTIN, Tex. W) For the third straight week the number of Texas jobless filing claims has declined. The Texas Employment Com mission said yesterday 81,913 per sons filed for unemployment com oensation during the week ending May 29 compared with 83,099 the previous week. For the week end ing May 14 the total was 16.528. The totals were still about 2 '4 times as high as a year ago when unemployment claims for the sim ilar period were 33,620. race last fall shattered party harmony. Knight's supporters declared the governor,, bucking Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco for the Republican senatorial nomina tion, would surge past Knowland in total vote 3. Whether as confident-talking Democrats say. there is a pro- nouncea uemocratic trend in a state with a record of registering Democratic but voting Republican in state elections. Recent gains have put the Dem ocrats within four votes of con trolling the state Assembly for the nrst time since 1941 and with two of landing a majority in the Senate (or the first time since 1898. Most of the 350 candidates for 140 jobs up lor election cross-filed. The distinctly California system allows office-seekers to run on other tickets as well as their own, in tne airert primary. Joseph J. Wyatt, Jr., president oi tne California Democratic Coun. cil, anticipated a heavy Demo cratic turnout that would nominate 'the biggert number of Demo cratic candidates in California's political history." For many years, Republican incumbents regularly knocked off most of their Democratic opposi tion in the primaries. State election officials estimat ed the vote would run about 65 per cent of the primary record registration of 6.280.000. A number of lively local con tests, including a Los Angeles referendum on the Dodgers' pro posed new baseball stadium, bal anced the romewhat mild interest in the primary itself. Knowland, winding ud his spor adic campaign in vote-heavy Southern California, renewed his call for right-to-work legislation outlawing the union shop. Already marked for defeat by organized labor, the Senate Re publican leader said, "Collective bargaining should not be collec tive bludgeoning." in contrast. Knight, described by high-rankinp union leaders as a friend of labor, made another pitch for Democratic support with a statement hitting at "blind al legiance to a single party pep suasion." Both Brown and Knight have accused Knowland of seeking the governorship as a springboard for the White House. This Knowland has denied. But he has never said he would not run for president. Knights Democratic opponent for the Senate is Rep. Clair Engle ot Kea mull. mmmiT-T i 1 n ibiirl'vvmmnnfiwftWawWk-wiiiiiiiiitM inonminiiin iiiiinili KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1958 Price Five Cents It Pages Telephone TIT 4-8111 De Gaulle Turns Toward Algeria f , ; . , l i 1 j i ' ""TimiHi i v O KLAMATH CITIZENS WHO played instrumental roles, along with others, In forming the new Community Council are shown at head table at yesterday's Winema luncheon meet 'ing.

(UPI) A policeman narrowly escaped death Monday while preventing the sui cide of a 17-year-old boy. Patrolman William A. Fritz, 30. went to the home here of Manuel Lopez Jr. after Manuel's aunt Mrs. Hortencia Cordova, San Ma teo, told' police her nephew had phoned to say he was going to kill nimseit. Mrs. Cordova said Manuel and his father had quarrelled over the father s refusal to let him join the Army. Fritz found that Manuel s step mother was unaware of the situa tion. He found Manuel sitting on a bed holding a string looped around the trigger of a shotgun rhe gun was pointed at Manuel s cnest. The officer began talking to the boy, then suddenly lunged for the gun. It discharged as the boy drew away, narrowly missing Fritz' head and sending pellets through the ceiling. Manuel was taken to San Fran cisco Hospital for psychiaatric observation. Truck Driver Cheats Death BUDGET STRETCHED DRAPER, N.C. (AP) Five councilmen in (his town of 4,000 found a way to stretch the bud get. They voted to cut their sal aries from $10 a month to $1 a year, thus saving $595 a year. Elementary School Budget Ready For June 27 Ballot The proposed $1,189,000 budget for the Klamath Falls Elementary School District was given final ap proval Monday evening by the school board of directors following a public hearing on the budget. The budget, approximately $26, 500 less than the elementary budg et which was defeated by the vot ers on May 5, will be voted on by the public on June 27. Except for approximately 50 teachers and representatives of the PTAs, there was only a slight general public attendance at the Monday session. No objections were voiced to the proposed budget as it stands. George Proctor, school attorney, pointed out that the reduced budg et, coupled with additional antici pated monies, reflects a $46,000 reduction in locally raised monies when comparing the defeated budget with the modified budget. Proctor said the six per cent base for the school system is about $76,672. The amount in ex cess of the six per cent limita tion when considering the defeat- red budget was $733. 428. The mount in excess of the six per cent limitation on the b a i i t of the new budget it $687,767. Concerning -what would haDnen if the budget is defeated a second time. Proctor said it would sim ply mean "that the elemcntarv school district would not have a standardized school system when tne scnool terms convene this fall." Proctor explained that if the budget is turned back it would probably be Septemoer 15 betore a third budget could be prepared and submitted to the people. The money available to the school sys tern without budget anornval would be $76,000, the amount with in the six per cent limitation, nlus an additional $124,000 which the district receives from sources oth er than the local levy. "In effect," he said, "it would mean that about one out of each five students within the district could be edu cated. -, Another point explained by Proc tor was that related to voting on the budget and voting on the abili ty of the district to exceed the six per cent limitation. The at torney pointed out that during the past election a C onsiderable num ber of persons voted to exceed (Continued on Page 4) MADRAS. Ore.

Ike Planning For Visit By Macmillan WASHINGTON (AP)-President Eisenhower met with the National Security Council for an hour and a half Tuesday possibly for pol icy discussions in advance of next week's visit here by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. As usual, presidential press sec retary Ja.ies C. Hagerty told newsmen trere was nothing he could say about the purpose of the meellrg or what was dis cussed. The French political crisis and possible suspension of U.S. and British nuclear tests are prime topics for the Eisenhower-Mac- millan taiks, which start next Monday. The Security Council, the na tion's top policy body, normally meets Thursdays. The White House gave no reason for chang ing the time of its meeting, but there was speculation that its work would be directed toward the Macmillan meeting. Eisenhowpr reportedly is being urged by some of his advisers to make at least a tentative deci sion, before Macmillan's arrival, favoring a two-year suspension of U.S. nuclear tests to be effective after the present scries in the Pacific is ended. Both Secretary of Slate Dulles and Dr. James R. KiUian Jr., Eisenhower s scientific adviser, have recommended such a course. On the o'her hand, Chairman Lewis Strauss of the Atomic En ergy Commission has argued for continued testing unless there is broad agreement with the Soviet Union on a disarmament program. Eisenhower approved in an hour long conference with Dulles a new letter to Soviet Premier Khrush chev. In it he agreed to inclusion of Polish atid Czech scientists in proposed scientific talks on ways of supervising any East-West agreement to halt tests. There is no such agreement yet. The letter probably will be dis patched late this week after clearance with Britain and France and other NATO Allies. Dulles gave the tipoff on the President's answer hy saying, "We have no objection to the Soviet Unioi. including on its side experts of other nationalities pro vided the people are qualified, as I assume '.ley will be. The task is technical, not political. NO CONFEDERATES CHARLESTON, S C.

Weather Bulletin SEATTLE (AP) The Univer sity of Washington board of Re Kcnts Tuesday voted to withdraw from the Pacific Coast Confer" ence, and create a new associa tion with three California col leges.

Long Strike Threat Looms OAKLAND (UPI) Patrons of tne Key system braced them selves today for a long strike. Both sides were so far apart on wages when the strike began ear ly Monday that Federal Concilia tor Arthur Viat said the dispute would most likely be prolonged. "If it goes on too long," he warned, "the company may close its doors. It isn't any too healthy. They won't be able to stand a long strike." The strike meant Bfl.noo riders had to shift for themselves. They managed pretty well on the first day. Traffic over the Bay Bridge was heavy but ran smoothly. Gar age operators in San Francisco re ported "extra heavy" business but most had space for a few more cars. Traffic into downtown Oakland was similarly heavy, but again it flowed without incident. Yellow Lo-Fare-Cah companies increased their fleets to handle the addition al load. The Highway Patrol canceled all leaves for most of its men as signed to the B.-w Bridge, for the duration of the strike.

Present plans for financing oper ations call for a $1 per mcmbcr- PARIS (AP) Premier Charles s Gaulle, armed with all t h e broad powers he demanded of Parliament, turned his attention1 Tuesday to Algeria and the army running it in his name. De Gaulle summoned Gen. Raoul Salan. the French troop commander, from Algiers for con sultation. Salan has been ruling Algeria openly in the name ot the rebellious French there. An es cort waiting at the airport whisked him off to see De Gaulle. After thus asserting his author ity over the army, De. Gaulle called in Robert Lacoste. resident minister In Algeria who has a big following among the rebellious French coionists there. De Gaulle will go to Algeria himself Wednes day. De Gaulle installed himself in the Hotel Matignon. official resi dence of French premiers, with- n minutes after the Senate early Tuesday morning finished legisla te action on bills granting De Gaulle sweeping powers. The last measure, authorizing De Gaulle lo write a new consti tution strengthening the cxecu- ive, breczxl through the Senate 256-30. The Premier will draft the constitution in consultation with parliamentary committee and submit it lo the people. The Senate vote completed ac tion within 48 hours on the three- part emergency program demand ed by De Gaulle as his price for aking the helm of France in its hour of crisis. Shortly thereafter, the National Assembly by unanimous consent voted to adjourn until Oct. 7 to allow De Gaulle to rule unimpeded by Parliament. Not even the Com munist deputies, bitter foes of the general, objected. De Gaulh-s special powers ex (end by law for six months. That would overiop the return of the Assembly, but it could go to work on the next year's budget. De Gaulle had insisted they take a six-month vacation while he tack led France's problems. The army-dominated junta rul ing Algeria professed to be in the dark about Salan s trip and even about De Gaulle s visit to the re bellious No.th African territory The junta hailed De Gaulle's re turn to power as a great victory for the rebellion. But the old po litical faces in his cabinet caused widespread discontent and open disgust among some of the ex tremists wno hoped De Gaulle would clean house in Paris The country slowly returned to something resembling norma after a month of crisis, rioting, tension and fear. The troops were wearing their soft caps instead of riot helmets. Tommy guns were stowed awcy. De Gaulle also moved to make peace with the restive trade un ionists who provided the core of resistance to his return to power. The general called in repre sentatives of three big trade un ions with total membership ot three million. The National Assembly finished its endorsement of the new Pre mier's crash program early today. It authorized him to submit hu constitutional changes directly to the voters bypassing parliamen tary approval only after he threatened in a personal appear ance to resign if the deputies tried to delay him with the debate and amendments they have employed to hamstring previous govern ments.

Senators View East-West Talk As Trade War Starts WASHINr.TON (AP) - Two Senate foreign relations commit teemen said today the latest Sov iet talk of relaxing tensions may be only the opening gambit for an East-West trade war. Senators Hubert Humphrey ID Minn) and H. Alexander Smith R-NJ commented in separate inlerviews on Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Mcnshikov's newest pro posal for peaceful coexistence without interference in other countries' internal affairs. The two senators said they re gard Mcnshkov's remarks as part of an over all Soviet shilt in em phasis from military toward eco nomic competition with the United states. Menshikov said differences he hearsed radio broadcast last night that tensions between the East and West have reached a danger ous stage. He said his country would like to see them relaxed.

He suggested speeding up a proposed summit meeting Replying to questions, he said he believes the American people generally do not want war, but was not well enough acquainted with U.S. government policy to say w n e t n e r the government wants war. Humphrey who heads the Sen- ale Disarmament subcommittee, said he Is convinced the Soviets now see Utile profit in continuing the cold war and have decided to try to pick up the world piece by piece by an economic campaign." "I hey are regrouping their Dom ical and economic forces to wage an extensive and intensive eco nomic battie," he said. "They want relaxation of tensions so that they can busy themselves with infiltration in all parts of tho world." Humphrey said he believes the changed si'uation should be met with American efforts to change the complexion of the North At lantic Treaty Organization from purely military to one of cooper ative economic effort. Smith sa.d he fears the Soviets are "talking softly to try to get us off our guard." But he agreed with Humphrey that they now seem ready to take up trade as a weapon.
