U OP OREGON LIBRARY EUQENE, ORE. la Thm- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS In two Algerian cities Constan tine and Algiers General (now Premierl De Gaulle pledges that Algeria's NINE million Moslems and ONE million Europeans will henceforth have the same RIGHTS AND DUTIES. That is to say If he means what he says and Is able to make good on lis pledge BOTH will have the VOTE in free and unhi' ' tions. right to i elec- So far, so good. But here is the catch: In Constantine, the speech was 0 received with clamorous applause by the crowd, more than half of which was made up of MOSLEMS. In Algiers, where the crowd was made up almost entirely of AL GERIAN FRENCH, his pledge was received with marked cool ness. Over the years, this has been the situation in Algeria: About a million French have been running the affairs of about nine million Moslems. But If De Gaulle makes good h i s pledge of EQUAL rights and duties (including, presumably, FREE elections) the nine million Mos lems WILL RUN THE AFFAIRS OF THE ONE MILLION FRENCH. Thai's where the rub will come. Will the French stand for it? We'll have to wait and see. At the moment, it looks a little doubt ful. If De Gaulle can make good his pledge and can MAKE THE FRENCH LIKE IT he will be en titled to a place in history among -the world's GREAT leaders. Trucking Suit Starts Again A suit by Pioneer Truck Rental, Inc., Klamath Falls, against the Oregon State Police and State Pub lic Utilities Commission was re sumed yesterday and this morning in circuit court. Pioneer seeks a permanent in junction restraining the state po lice from stopping its trucks and arresting drivers. -. So far the truck firm has re ceipted for about 35 police tickets. ranging in probably fines from $5 to $20, for not having PUC plates; on its trucks, PUC lawyers said, Pioneer claims it has been ar- bitrarily denied the plates by the utilities commission, even though it nas paia me required lees lur permission to operate. Attorneys for the PUC contend that under' the law, a truck rental agency is not entitled to PUC plates, but rather, they are to be paid for and received by those renting the trucks for business reasons. - - Pioneer feels it should get the plates and not lessees, of whom many rent trucics tor snort trips only. Most of the outstanding tickets will not be settled until outcome of the suit has been decided by Judge David R. Vandenberg. Judge Vandenberg earlier this year issued a preliminary injunc tion in favor of Pioneer. However, state police continued to tag its trucks, until three officers were cited for contempt of court. The three have been found guil ty, but sentencing has been post- fponed until outcome of the case, is known. Both sides are expected to finish presenting testimony today. OLDEST TAVERN? NEWPORT. R. I. (UP) The nation's oldest tavern, still in bust ness. is probably the White Horse Tavern of Newport. Built before 1673 and known to have had a tavern license as early as 1687, it closed its doors shortly after the . turn of this century but is now in operation again, thanks to the Pre servation Society of Newport .Coun ty. Local Employment Chief Says Basin Jobs Increase "It is estimated that total em ployment in Klamath County is ' equal to employment at the end of May, 1957." These words appear in the May labor market bulletin prepared by Guy Barker, manager of the Klam ath Falls office of the Oregon State Employment Service. Bar ker reports that employment in the area increased rapidly dur ing May, as the construction, lum ber and logging, and retail trade and service industries added to their payrolls. "This area is fortunate in hav ing new projects under way and in maintaining high employment in lumber and logging," Barker said. "This condition has attracted many new workers to our area, causing unemployment to show a higher figure than last year.- But at the same time we have favor able employment figures." Barker said that additional em ployment gains were expected to develop during the next two months. By industries, construction showed the most increase in em ployment during May, with more than 220 registered workers called back. lumber and logging called back over 120 workers last month, and several small operators are petting ready to start during June, with other, larger operators plan ning to intrease their labor force. Unity Appeal By De Gaulle Carried East CONSTANTINE. Algeria (API- Premier Charles de Gaulle carried his drive for Algerian unity east ward into this hotbed of Moslem Nationalist resistance Thursday. But already rebel spokesmen abroad were rejecting his offer. Nationalist sources in neighbor ing Tunisia said there will be no halting of the1 354-year-old rebel lion. In Cairo, spokesmen for the Al gerian National Liberation Front IFLN) said they could not ac cept De Gaulle's program for in tegrating Algeria's European and Moslem populations with equal rights and equal votes for all. The front has spearheaded the revolt. It demands independence as the price of peace. De Gaulle spoke for five minutes from the balcony of the municipal theater here to a massed ' and cheering throng of 7,500, about half of them Moslems. He declared that "even those who were swept up in the flame of despair" the fighters for Al gerian independence should ral ly to his program. Shouts of "De G a u 1 1 e, De Gaulle," were followed quickly by equally massive shouts for Jac ques Soustelle, the Gaullist deputy and political strongman of the Al gerian insurrection who was not made a member of the De Gaulle cabinet. Soustelle, standing at the right of De Gaulle, waved his arms in an effort to calm the crowd. De Gaulle frowned. Later, in the northeast coastal city of Bone, a crowd of more than 100,000 cheered De Gaulle as he rode through the streets. He waved to the crowds and made the now familiar "V" sign with" both arms held upward. The Premier told a crowd of about 100,000 in Algiers last night that all residents of this . North African territory are Frenchmen with equal rights and equal votes and with France their mother land. His visit set off an unparalleled emotional binge , in Algiers. But Moslems fighting for independ ence from France indicated he had not offered enough. De Gaulle spoke only in gener alities that left Algerians in 'the dark on details of his plans for ending the 43-month rebellion. But there was no doubt the general captured and fired the imagina tion of Algiers residents '.more than anyone had done in a' long time. 'I open the door to reconcilia tion," De Gaulle proclaimed in of fering a program designed . to win back rebels whom he praised as courageous. .This was the, pro gram: Within three months we nine million Arab and Berber Moslem Algerians and the Vi million Al gerians of French, descent win loin with 45 million residents ot France in voting on the constitu tional reforms he is pledged to draw up. At some future date an Algeri ans will ballot on a single voting list for "representatives to the public administration." witn tnese elected representa tives we will see how to do. what must be done," De Gaulle- added, presumably meaning negotiations on Algeria's future relationship with France. Crash Victim, 5 Still Listed 'Fair' DeWayne Pruett, 5, Searcy, Ar kansas, was still in a semi-coma, and in "fair" condition this morn ing at Klamath Valley Hospital. where he was taken Monday morn ing after the truck-auto crash on Mt.

PHONE BOOST BOSTON (UP) Nearly 45 per cent of the 2,100,000 telephones - in Massachusetts today were installed since the end of World War II Agricultural employment creased during the first half of May as spring planting proceeded rapidly. It tapered off during the latter half of the month as plant ing operations were completed, and is expected to hold steady un til haying starts. A gradual in crease will develop toward the end of June and continue through har vest. The heavy flow of migrant labor coming through the local of fice indicates a nentiful sunnlv of labor will be available. Unemployment statistics released by the State Unemploy ment compensation Commission at Salem show that for the week end ed May 22, Klamath County had 5.3 per cent of its covered labor force claiming unemployment in surance. Four weeks ago the fig ure was 10 4 per cent, and a year ago, 4.7. These figures are based on an average of covered employ ment for the 12 months ending September 30, 1957. There were 438 workers claim ing unemployment insurance through the local office in the last week of May. These are included in the total of BOO workers who had current applications for work on file in the office at that time. Of the latter number, 236 are wom en, and 37 per cent persons 45 years of age or older. There are also 200 high school and, college students seeking summer' work. not included in tbe 800. ' Price Five Cents 24 Pages Officials See Little Hope Of Red Trade WASHJNGTON(AP Adminis tration officials saw - little possi bility today of granting large- scale' credits to t finance ' Soviet purchases of industrial machinery and 'consumer goods in-the-United States. They also said privately they think Soviet Premier Khrushchev has greatly exaggerated -the pos sibilities of ' increasing trade.

KLAMATH Democrats Hope To Gain More Congressional Seais SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Cali-i fornia Democrats held hopes today of increasing their congressional representation in the November election as mounting returns from Tuesday's primary swelled the party strength. Five Democratic incumbent con gressman won two-party nomina tion, tantamount to reelection. Two others trailed by close mar gins on the Republican side after winning their own party's nomina tions under the state unique cross- filing system. Most candidates ran on both tickets. Republicans hold 17 of the state's 30 congressional seats. But the definite party-line trend of Democratic voting Tuesday posed threat to the GOP majority. Democratic Rep. Harry R. Shep- part of San Bernardino s 27th District was unopposed for renom mation in his party and was running a close race with Repub lican Robert M. Castle, San Ber nardino, for the GOP nomination. Sheppard led in early returns on House Plans Vote On Army WASHINGTON (AP) House members backing a big Army looked to a roll call today to rivet into a defense appropriations bill enough money to prevent a 30,000- man drop in Army strengtn. Both sides on the issue said the outcome may be close. . Except for that roll call, the House yesterday finished work on the biggest appropriations bill of the year. The extra 99 million dollars earmarked for a bigger Army would boost the over-all defense total to $38,409,561,000. This is $212,614,000 more than President Eisenhower asked. . The group favoring a big Army won an initial victory when an amendment carrying the 99 mil lions was approved tentatively by a 108-79 vote. The added funds are intended to maintain. Army strength a 900,000 men . during me next 12 months instead of the 870.000 rec- nmmonrieri. Vtv PlKpnhnwnr and the House Appropriations -tommitreof On other phases of tne Big Din, the House has approved larger allotments than Eisenhower re- auested for a speedup in subma rine and missile programs and for more National Guardsmen, Ma rines and reservists than the Pres ident had proposed. Both the Appropriations Com mittee and the House turned down Eisenhower's request for 35 mil lion dollars to start work on a sec ond nuclear-powered aircraft car rier. The bill, with the bigger Army1 funds counted in, would provide these allotments: Army. $8,716,626,000; Navy, $11,042,210,000; Air Force, $17,317,775,000; office of the secre tary, $536,050,00; and interserv icc activities, $796,900,000. House Rejects Army Slash WASHINGTON (API By a roll call vote of 224-158, the House rejected Thursday President Ei senhowers plan to cut the Army s strength to 870,000 men during tne next 12 months. It then passed a $38,409,561,000 defense appropria tion bill. The roll call vote nailed into the measure an amendment to fi nance a 900,000-man Army during the year starting July 1 at an ad ditional cost of 99 million dollars. Passaee of the bill was by a 389-0 vote which sent it on to the Senate. The vote on the issue of the Army's siie upheld a tentative de cision made Wednesday without a roll call. This question was the only controversy in the bill. Voting for the amendment ooost- ing Army strength were 173 Dem ocrats and 51 Republicans. Against it were 32 Democrats and 126 Republicans. Storms Abate In Wisconsin By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Storms abated in the tornado- stricken sections of northwestern Wisconsin today in the wake of violent weather which dealt de structive blows to a four-county area.

White Collar Pay Hike Seen WASHINGTON (AP)- Congres sional approval appeared assured today tor a 10 per cent pay in crease for the government's one million white collar and supervi sory civil service employes. The henate, which previously voted for a 7'4 per cent increase, accepted yesterday the 10 per cent figure approved by the House while adding some amendments. The House Is expected to accept the Senate changes and send the bill to the White House, possibly today. The pay boost, applying to all classified civil service workers, is expected to cost the government 542 million dollars a year. Eisenhower, who recently signed a bill giving postal workers a 10 per cent raise, had recom mended a six per cent boost for both postal and classified em ployes. The bill also would increase the nay of congressional and judicial employes, Foreign Service offi cers, Veterans Administration medical personnel and Tennessee Valley Authority employes not paid under wage - board hourly wage rates. For bottom grade classified em ployes, the hill would boost pay from $2,690-$3,200 to $2.960-$3,530. The top would he increased from $16,000 to $17,500. Business Tax To Continue WASHINGTON (AP)-A roluc tant House was ready to vote to day to continue business taxes at present levels for another year. Many House members would like to cut personal income levies and other taxes this election year. But congressional leaders and the Eisenhower administration arc teaming to hold the line in the lace ot anticipated big budget def icits this year and next. The only other tax proposal due to come before the House would provide relief for small business firms. This, however, would be largely in the form of admimstra tive relief, with no anticipated change in tax rates. Under a rule prohibiting amend ments, the House was called on tn vote another one-year extension of rates imposed during the Korean War on corporation income and certain items such as automobiles, cigarettes, whisky, beer and wine. The extension hill would avert a drop of $2,600,000,000 a year in federal tax revenues if present rates expired June 30. as now scheduled. The bill would cancel a 5 per cent drop in the present Ti2 per cent income tax rate on corpora tion profits. BLOOD DONORS HAVERHILL, Mass.

Sen. William F. Knowland of California, Senate Republican lead er, reported the President's stand after the weekly White House con ference of key GOP members from the Capitol.

Kennedy told newsmen the White House position "indicates the President is not in charge but that Senator Knowland is. in charge of lomgn policy. Knowland told a news confer ence Eisenhower would support sucn a proposal it it came up as an amendment to the Battle Act. That law bans U.S. aid to Iron Curtain countries.

The provision would permit the1 President, if he deems it in the national interest, to provide finan cial and economic assistance to any country except the Soviet Un ion, Red China or Communist North Korea. The bill survived its first test last night as the Senate rejected 50-ib an amendment by hen. Wil Ham Proxmire (D-Wis) to shift all' military aid funds from the for eign aid bill to the regular De fense Department budget.

The youth. Vincent J. Hunt, of 830 Oak Street, came out second best against Klamath Falls Patrol man Floyd Pierce. The aftermath for Hunt came at headquarters where he was charged with four separate offenses. Things got started when Pierce, patrolling East Main, spotted Hunt driving without lights and at high speed at 9:50 p.m. the policeman turned on nis red lights and siren and tried to stop the youth. But Hunt put on a ter rific burst of speed, rocketed through a red light at Main and East Main, then another at Main and Esplanade.

(AP) A vicious set ot three parallel tor nado funnels raked a destructive furrow across northwestern Wis consin Wednesday night, leaving a mounting toll of at least 28 dead and more than 100 injured. Wisconsin Gov. Vernon Thom son, declaring the Cour County path the storm took an emergency area, ordered out the . National Guard, then made a personal flight to survey the damage. A Weather Bureau meteorolo gist from Madison, Wis., Joseph Rigney, said the storm dropped three parallel tornado funnels as it swept from the Minnesota bor der toward the southeast. Full fury of the storm was un- leased on the small town of Col fax, where bodies of 10 persons were recovered from the debris and another 35 were hurt. A six-week-old baby, Chris Al len Lunn, was found alive in a field some 200 feet from his par ents' demolished farm home. The child, whose father and brother. Leon, 3, were killed, was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The child's mother also was re ported alive after previously be ing listed as dead. Leon died late Thursday in an Eau Claire hos pital. Four died at Chippewa Falls, four near Menomonie, two at Knapp, two at Boyd and one each at Bloomer, Wilson, Thorp, Rice Lake and Stanley. . . Houses were smashed, trees splintered and stone buildings pul verized as the cruel storm, carry ing torrents of rain, skirted the edge of the Colfax business dis trict. In its sweep, the tornado an nihilated a construction crew's trailer camp and obliterated sev eral farms. It spun across four counties before blowing itself out southeast of Eau Claire. A northside residential district in Colfax, with several new homes lining the street, was all but' wiped out. Some houses were re duced to piles of debris atop their foundations. Others were just blown away. Automobiles, twisted Into grotes que shapes, were tossed like toys. One relief worker said "just ten minutes is all it took." The blow ing rain that accompanied the blow "came down the street like a wave," she said.

No Rebellion Ease Seen TUNIS, Tunisia AP) Spokes men for the Algerian Moslem Na tionalists here Thursday saw no letup in the rebellion against French rule as a result of Pre mier de Gaulle's promises of in tegration and equality.
