su5eme, oae. The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS I suppose you have read and lis tened to the political roundups and post mortems on the California primary election. They have been numerous. In general, the Demo cratic comment has been jubilant. About the best the Republicans have been able to do is to put on a brave front and say WAIT TILL NOVEMBER. An impartial observer must cer tainly admit that as of now noth ing seems more certain than that next fall the Democrats will in crease their present rather thin control- of both houses of the con gress. Among other things, this is a recession period. In our recession periods (which seem to be an in evitable part of our economics sys tem) people aren't too happy with the way things are going. When people aren't too happy with the way things are going, their incli nation is to vote the ins out. At this point, I'd like to offer a little advice. Don't listen TOO MUCH to the politicians. At least, don't accent wtfat they say as gospel. Listen in an appraising and intelligently critical mood. Apply the test of your own intelligence to what the politicians say. Remember that the politicians are running for office. Remember that the party organizations are reaching for power. Size up the TRENDS of party policies. (Don t pay too much at tention to party 'platforms. Party platforms are coming to be noth ing much more than sticky fly paper put out to catch votes.) Appraise political trends in the light of what is best for our coun try over the long pull. Remember that in the long run what is best for our country will be best for ALL OF US. 1 . If you think the Democrats have a generally better program, vote tor Democrats. If you feel that the GOP pro gram is better tor our country, vote for Republicans. Remember that POLITICS is the art of kidding people into voting tor someDoay. STATESMANSHIP is a miracu- lous combination of patriotism, wisdom, sound judgment and the COURAGE to use these qualities tor the betterment of our country, Our great need is more states men in politics. Let's close this piece with i quotation from Abraham Lincoln: VYou can not bring prosperity by discouraging thrift. You can not strengthen the weak by weak ening the strong. You can not help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. "You can not further the broth erhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You can not help the poor by destroying the rich You can not establish sound secur ity on borrowed money. You can not keep out of trouble by spend ing more than you earn. You can not build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. "You can not help men perma nently by DOING FOR THEM WHAT THEY COULD AND SHOULD DO FOR THEM SELVES." All statesmen subscribe to that doctrine. All politicians merely PRETEND to subscribe to it. Therein lies the fundamental dif ference between statesmen and politicians.

(AP) - Phil Hitchcock, who failed twice in bids for Congress, said Friday he is taking himself out of Oregon politics and out 'of Oregon. The former state Senate presi dent said he will go into the lum ber business in White Swan, Wash. Hitchcock lost narrowly to for mer Gov. Douglas McKay for the Republican nomination for the U. S. Senate two years ago. in Oregon s recent primary election he failed to unseat Rep. Walter Norblad in the state's 1st Congressional District. Hitchcock said he owns part of the White Swan Lumber Co. in the small town near Yakima and will operate the firm with his brother. The company employs about 120 men. Hitchcock said he expects to move his family from their home here to White Swan in about a week. He first entered politics while In the implement business in Klamath Falls. He served six terms in the state Senate. The 43-ycar-old Hitchcock later became director of church rela tions at Lewis and Clark College In nearby Portland. He resigned that post to run against Norblad. 'Limited War' Isn't Answer WICHITA, Kan. Wl Total war would mean global suicide. The military alternative is a "limited war." But there's not much choice be tween them, an Air Force scien tist indicated Friday night. Both will use H-bombs, Dr. Har old Wooster of Washington told the Kansas Institute of Interna tion Relations. "In total war, the only question is what the address en en the shipping tag would be. Either we will be ready on a moment's notice, or historians may conclude over the ruins of our cities that we were weighed and found wanting." By BETTY DOW MONTAGUE More than 150 entries are expected by Friday night, deadline for entering the seventh annual Montague Junior Rodeo, to make this the biggest show in the history of the event, according to Betty Cooley, who is in charge of registration. A crowd of more than 3,000 spectators is anticipated. The covered grandstand which seats 2,000 has been given a new coat of paint and new bleachers to accommodate another 1,000 spectators has been built. The an nouncer's and judges' stands have been refurbished and final plans have been made for the old fash ioned hot barbecue to be held at the conclusion of the grand pa racie wnicn starts in downtown Montague at 11:15 a.m. on Sun day. The sponsor of the big event. which is said to be the largest junior rodeo in the nation, is the Shasta Valley Community Club, Mrs. Hilda Cooley is serving her sixth year as president and much credit for the professional appear ance ot tne snow is due her and her son and daughter-in-law, Stan ley and Betty Cooley. The first junior rodeo was the brainchild of Grant Foote and the idea has been developed by Cool ey, an avid rodeo man and grand son of the late John E. Coolev. early day race horse enthusiast of the ireka area. The first junior rodeo was held in the ball park and fans literally sat on the raft ers after the seating area was jammed to capacity. Sixty s i x youngsters participated compared with 148 last year. Entries must be turned in to Betty Cooley by rriaay nient, June 13. The rodeo queen coronation dance will be held on Saturday night with dancing to music by the Tip Top pers. During the last six years, one of the finest rodeo grounds in Northern California has been de veloped. Proceeds from the junior rodeo have financed the building ot tne Dig grandstand, permanent chutes, bleachers and numerous smaller community projects such as a new roof and dance floor for the Montague Auditorium, a hot water heater for the Willow Creek School and a stove for the Meth odist Church. Establishment of the rodeo grounds brought about the inaugu ration of the big Shasta Valley Stampede to which Dick Hemsted brings his rodeo stock from Red ding each year and contestants come from as far away as Texas. The junior rodeo also prompted Miller Brown to organize a local girls' riding group and the Mon tague Lancerettes were formed. The group travels to as many as 17 rodeos In a season,' bringing home ribbons and prizes for its exhibition drills, The girls have a whole series of new drills for this year's junior rodeo. The big parade will start at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday and will lead the way to the rodeo grounds where the barbecue will be held. The rodeo will start at 1:30 D.m with bareback bronc riding as the first contest. Eieht to 18-vear-alds will compete in a total of 11 events. A new event has been add ed this year, a cow horse contest. in which the horse must be able to work cattle. This will be a $50 sponsored event. Entry fees run u to S5 and are added to the purse and the $125 prize money has been nut ud bv local businessmen. Other persons in the area have contributed funds and special prizes.

They and other veteran junior rodeo con testants are expected to put on a top notch show as well as gaining vaiuame roaeo experience. - ' ' H -ii' Bv JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (AP) British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan flew into Washington Saturday to talk over with President Eisen hower such world issues as the French political crisis and a pos sible summit conference with Russia. Macmillan characterized the sessions as Informal talks with the President, an old acquaint ance. Relations between Washington and London are generally more harmonious than in recent years. But U.S. officials said they ex pect Macmillan in conferences starting Monday to urge Eisen hower to endorse increased West ern trade with the Soviet Union, to move as rapidly as possible toward a summit conference, and to strengthen Western machinery for waging the economic cold war. Both British and U.S. diplomats indicated Premier Charles dc Gaulle of France would be in formed about the discussions and whatever understandings arc reached. There was speculation Macmil lan might fly to Paris after the Washington talks. Another possi bility was that Eisenhower and Macmillan would publicly declare their interest in meeting De Gaulle when he has time. Macmillan came from London aboard a new Britannia" jet-prop airliner accompanied by his wile and a party of 12. A faulty engine forced the plane to turn back to London friday night, and Mac millan reached Washington about three Hours behind schedule. Secretary of State Dulles Will it in on the first meeting with bisenhower Monday afternoon. Dulles, who arranged a private dinner at his home Saturday night for the Prime Minister and Lady Dorothy Macmillan, met the plane here. Macmillan and he then engaged in the familiar diplomatic game of talking down the importance of the meeting. If nothing much Is accomplished, such a preliminary is supposed to reduce disappoint ment. If some important decision is made, officials can claim it was planned that way all along. Macmillan said his chief pur pose in coming here "is to make pilgrimage to my mother i state, Indiana.'1 He will speak at ue fauw university at Green- castle Sunday. Macmillan then remarked In an offhand way. that "on- my way back I hope to-mWe the chance lor informal talks with Secretary of State Dulles and President El senhower." . Actually, the White House an nounced the talks two months ago, The plan now is that a joint state. ment of some kind will be issued, probably Wednesday. The principal problems which diplomats say Macmillan and El senhower will talk about are: France and De Gaulle tha impact of the Paris crisis and De Gaulle's advent as Premier on Western Europe is the purpose Jf this review. The summit and the atom Eisenhower has been working for several months toward a decision to end U. S. nuclear tests after the current Pacific series. He is awaiting congressional action which would allow him to share S. nuclear weauons knowhow with Britain. Britain then could join in a test suspension agree ment. East - West trade Soviet Premier Khrushchev focused at tention on this problem by writing isenhower last week that he mild like to buy U. S. machinery and consumer goods. Britain for several years has been more in terested m Soviet trade possibil ities than has the U. S. govern ment. Hungary Cracks Down On Toughs BUDAPEST (AP) One man has been executed and 49 others sentenced to prison terms for what the official Hungarian news agency Saturday called a "band of thieves." Most of those involved were released from prison in the 1956 anti-Soviet revolt. Gyula Lendval was sentenced to die by a military court because of armed resistance to arrest, the agency said. The others were giv en terms of 10 months to 15 years by the court at Miskolc, in north east Hungary. Road Must Go Through, Despiie Desecration Of High Priced Hog's Grave ANNA. HI.

Wild West Goes To Belgium Now BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) The Wild West landed in Belgium Saturday. Seventy -six cowboys and cowgirls arrived on a char tered plane and 50 horses, 15 buf falo, 40 steers and other stock were unloaded from a freighter at Antwerp and brought here by truck. They form a Wild West and ro deo show, brought to Brussels in connection with the World Fair. Saturday another plane brought 55 Ogalala Sioux Indians: state of Illinois which plans to cut across the property in con struction of a new highway project. The proposed road will pass right through the site where King rscptune is buried, just outside the Anna town limits. "King Neptune" is a hog which was auctioned off during World War II as a promotion stunt which helped sell 19 million dol lars in war bonds for funds in building the battleship Illinois. The hog died in 1950 and was buried with appropriate honors in a spot which residents have come to call "Neptune Park. Lingle owns the land and looked after the pig when it retired to a farm after the war until its death. The pig was something of a celebrity in its day. Lingle took it . throughout the state for war bond rallies. The buvcr would bid for the pig in war bonds. The highest bidder would get the bonds and the pig, although he was owner of the ani mat for a brief minute. Then the pig would return to (he auction block. Sub Leaves On Long Trip SEATTLE (AP) The nuclear submarine Nautilus leaves for Pa nama Sunday on a submerged en durance cruise expected to last about 28 days. The Nautilus, which arrived here Tuesday, will submerge in Puget Sound soon after departing at 3 p.m. She's scheduled for an in direct run to Panama on which the distance won't bo known un til arrival there about July 3.

From Panama the pioneer nuclear submarine will return to her home port at Groton, Conn. French Unity Appeal Draws Heavy Favor PARIS (AP) The cabinet ral lied Saturday behind Premier Charles de Gaulle's drive for French unity, endorsing decisions he made on his dramatic peace making flight to Algeria. De Gaulle pushed through a cab Inet decision promising local elec tions in Algeria in about a month. He told the Arab-Berber popula tion that in these elections they would have equal votes with the French population for the first . time in history. , The ministers further under scored their bid for support of the Arab-Berber masses by agreeing ; an Algerian Moslem should be brought into the cabinet for the first time. De Gaulle also gently but firmly began to slap down the rightwing public safety committees that swept to power in De Gaulle's - name and are reluctant to sur render their authority. Despite his speed and obvious determination, the general's prob lems were staggering, and he . made his maneuvers with tha cau- log" out a loruneu line. - De Gaulle called his cabinet to his official residence where he sot up housekeeping Saturday morning and reported on the : three-day Algerian trip that ended : Friday night. De Gaulle's scholarly informa tion minister, Andre Malraux, said his chief had returned to France convinced that his presence was -accepted by Algeria's Arabs and Berbers as a guarantee of equal ity. Malraux said De Gaulle is con vinced of the loyalty to the gov- -ernment of the army, which fully - supported the May 13 insurrection : of the French colonials in Algeria. : Body Of Flier Found In Brush ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP)-The body of Cmdr. George W. Staeheli, 38, was found in dense under brush Saturday, several hundred yards from his crashed Navy jet hghter. That ended hope that Staeheli, a former Gonzaga University ath lete who fought in several Pacific campaigns in World War II, had survived the crash of his plane Friday while on a flight from McChord Field, Wash., to Moffett Field. Calif. The discovery of his parachute in a tree a half-mile from the crash at first raised hopes that Staeheli had bailed out to safety over the- woods north of here. An intensive search resulted in discovery of the body. Staeheli reported a flame-out at 33.000 feet Friday, and a few minutes later made his last transmission from 15,000 feet. Police said they were not cer tain whether Staeheli had ejected himself successfully and that the parachute lines had parted under stress of high speed, or whether Staeheli had become separated from the parachute in some other way. Staeheli leaves a widow and eight children at Tacoma. A' Navy official said he was cer tain that Staeheli had been ejected from the plane. Lt. Carl Birdweil said, however, that the ejection probably oc curred at too low an altitude for everything to function correctly. Staeheli apparently rode his crippled cralt to a low level to make sure it did not crash into a populated area, Birdweil said. A dense overcast covered the area, and Staeheli waited antil he came out of tha clouds it 2,000 feet before pressing his ejection mechanism, Birdweil said. The body was found by Robert Everett of Creswell, one of 200 taking part in the search. It was in a tiny clearing, sur rounded by dense brush. Three hundred yards away was his para chute, hanging from a tree. The parachute harness was still around Staeheli's body. Nearby, searchers found the airplane canopy, a crash helmet and the plane's seat. Navy oificers said that this is the procedure when a pilot Is ejected from a plane: A charge blows off the canony. and moments later the pilot and the seat are hurled away from the jet. The seat then is shot away from the pilot and an automatic device opens his parachute. Birdweil laid ha was at a loss lo explain why the harness broke loose from the tough shroud lines of the parachute. Birdweil said he and two otner Navy investigators plan to remain here several more days. A post mortem was conducted on the body Saturday by a Navy physi cian. OPEV BEND 'AP The Cascades Lakes Highway from Bend to Elk Lake was open lor travel by tisn ermen Saturday morning.

Luxury Proves Too Much For Poor Old George PHILADELPHIA wi sudden luxury after years of hard living Is apparently proving too much for George, the alligator. ' For 27 years, he lived in a pen where he couldn't turn around. What's more, the pool was too small for George to really get wet. Recently George was moved from the Philadelphia Aquarium to Ihe zoo. His new quarters arc much larger and he has a three- loot deep pool all to himself. What happened? Like others be fore him and others still to come George just can't stand prosper! He took one look at that luxurl ous pool, dove in and hasn't come out since. The zoo folks figure he'll get hungry after a while, maybe in a couple of weeks. Oil Tanker Hits Ship In Harbor ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands IAP) A Norwegian oil tanker collided with another ship at the harbor entranco Saturday and burst into flame, halting all ship ping in this world's second larg est port. A great pall of smoke rose from the 10,945-tnn Artemis. Her skipper, Capt. Gunna Gauslaa, and several crewmen were in hired. They and other crew mem hers were taken off the tanker by boat.

Judge Spencer first overruled .starkweather s application for a . new trial. The Supreme Court could delay or set aside the execution order. Starkweather looked Judge Spencer straight in the eye when the judge announced the execu tion date. When Spencer asked him II there was any reason why sent ence should not bo pronounced. Starkweather shook his head vig orously and replied no. Starkweather's attorney had listed 17 reasons why they thought a new trial should be granted. Caril Fugate, Starkweather's 14-year-old girl companion on the January killing spree, still awaits trial. She also was charged with first degree murder. Water Fight In India Flares Up KARACHI.
