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.

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.

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.

WASHINGTON (API By a
roll call vote of 224-158, the House
rejected Thursday President Ei

strength to 870,000 men during tne
next 12 months. It then passed a
$38,409,561,000 defense appropria

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

only controversy in the bill.
Voting for the amendment ooost-

Against it were 32 Democrats and

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.

Many Injured
MENOMONIE, Wis. (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.
We felt the suction, said Mel
vin Hendrickson, 58, of Colfax,
who fled with his wife and three
children to their basement,
The wind was twisting things
in the basement. Rain was pour
ing down on us. The only thing I
saw was our water heater stand
ing in the middle of the base
ment. Everything else was whirl
ing around.
"P looked . up- and the house
wasn't there."

stand that times have changed
and that it is no longer possible
to diminish a people which, for
four years, has been fighting for
its independence.
"Is it in this man that the Brit
ish and Americans have put their
hopes, and is it on these prin
ciples that hope the diffi
culties In North Africa will be
solved?"
The independent daily "As Sabh
commented that "history will say

declared Wh.- anew the Algerian
