Newspaper Page TextU OF OREGON LIBRARY EUQENE, ORE. B Th 1 Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS More about France which is presently the world's hotlest trou ble spot: Adlai Stevenson tells the grad uating class at the University of Michigan that the United States can help keep France (rom found ering during the next six months ty extending IMMEDIATE ECO NOMIC AID during the present governmental crisis. Hmmmmmm. Let's take a look at the ledger. In the past 13 years we have poured a little better than 11 BILLION DOLLARS into the French economy. By doing so. we have helped to keep taxes down in France. That is to say, during these 13 years Americans have paid HIGHER taxes so that the French would be enabled to get along with LOWER taxes. Has it paid off? 1 wouldn't know. But, as nearly as one can Judge by reading the news, Amer icans seem less popular in France than they were 13 years ago. That tends to confirm the belief that ONE CAN'T BUY FRIENDS. The French meaning the REAL French, not the French politicians are wonderful people. They have proved that over tne centuries. everybody else They can be spoiled by too much indulgence. Price Five Cents 14 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON. TUESDAY. JUNE 10. 1958 Telephone TU 4-8111 Algeria Resists De Gaulle PARIS (AP) French insurg ents in Algeria threatened a break with Premier Charles de Gaulle Tuesday as he strove to untangle France from a snarl of domestic and foreign problems. A communique from the All-Al geria Public Safety Committee op posed his plan for local elections in Algeria within, a month and demanded a housecleaning of po litical parties in France. The communique was met with official silence here. But it was unofficially reported to have stir red up a deep suspicion that the A Kenan rightwingers want noth ing less than one party rule in France. The committee formed after the May 13 revolt in Algiers still holds extensive power in the French North African colony de spite De Gaulle's notice to its leaders to relinquish their ruling role. The committee, which had de manded De Gaulle be restored to power, has shown impatience be cause he had left its leaders on the outside in the reorganized gov-ernment. The committee insisted that Al geria be bound tighter to France witn one currency, one postal svs tern, one rail administration and one electric administration. Some of the measures demand ed by the Algerian insurgents would impose a tremendous strain on French finances at a time when De Gaulle is attempting to ease the threat of inflation and balance France's unfavorable for eign trade.

Going on with the news: Senator Henry I Scoop) Jackson of the state of Washington pro poses a six-month suspension by the United States of above-ground nuclear tests after the current se ries in the Pacific is completed. He says the move would facil itate negotiations with Russia for an OVER ALL ban on future tests of nuclear weapons. It sounds wonderful. But here's a thought: Suppose we ban nuclear weap onsmeaning atom and hydrogen bombs and such. Suppose the Rus sians ban them also. Suppose if you can stretch your imagination that far they keep their word and do away with atom and hydrogen bombs. Would that end HORROR war I wonder. There would still be left poison gas, nerve gas, germ warfare and all the other scientific horrors to consider. Suppose the commies tricked us into doing away with nuclear weapons and then over' whelmed us with gas and germ weapons, It's so terribly hard to do busi ness with somebody whose word you can t trust. without use of the shotguns and without injury to anyone.

Hoppers Loose In Colorado DENVER (AP) Eastern Colo- been working on some of the fields rado's 110-million-doIfar bumper wheat crop faces ruin by the state's worst grasshopper inva sion in 10 years. Nearly nine million acres of rangeland and cropland in 16 counties are already infested. The blight extends into western Kan sas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyo ming and Montana. The crisis is nearing rapidly in Colorado's eastern plains where hungry hoppers already have gorged on 10 per cent of theland's wheat. A horde of full-grown hoppers could clear an acre of wheat in 36 minutes," State Agriculture Commissioner Paul W. Swisher said today. "The insects have for a week. When you figure seven hoppers per square yard it becomes a crit ical problem." Young grasshoppers now num ber from SO to 400 to the square yard in Colorado. Soon they will develop wings and begin to mi grate Officials of the states affected are pressing for swift action, both by the federal government and landowners.- Farmers have been urged to go ahead with spraying programs and not wait for government dis aster help. Experts say that if the hoppers aren't exterminated by mid-June it may be too late to save the crops Vr if?L i n j n jrvm--i . 1 f 'aw.. Labor Bill Rou . Hares In Senate WASHINGTON (API A roar ing controversy erupted Tuesday over the Senate labor bill, des cribed by its makers as aimed at corruption in labor unions but pro nounced completely ineffective by Secretary of Labor Mitchell. In the wake of Mitchell's criti cisms: Sens. John F. Kennedy ID Mass) and Irving M. Ives (R-NY) sponsors of the bill, made, a point- by-point reply at a news confer ence. Kennedy said Mitchell'! statements were "inaccurate and misleading." Ives labeled them uncalled for, utterly so. Republican leader William F. Knowland of California said he be lieves most Senate Republicans will back some "necessary and desirable" amendments.

The threatened strike was thei latest move in a colorful but deadly serious battle for survival by the boatmen who have helped make the city of Venice and its canals a magnet for romantic tourists. Changing ways of life, and the motorboat, have reduced the num ber of gondolas from 10.000 in the 16th century to a mere 437 today. At today's emergency meeting, the gondoliers will decide whether to strike or fall back on some spectacular demonstration to em Dhasize their plight. The gondoliers complain, that besides stealing passenger traffic from them, waves caused by the speedy motorboats cut by two thirds the life span of their ex pensive light craft. "We are not trying to have mo torboats outlawed." a gondolier spokesman explained over the roar of, a passing motorboat. "What we are seeking is just peaceful coexistence." SACRAMENTO (AP) Hordes of hungry grasshoppers, now feasting on lush mountain vegeta tion, will move into California's valleys soon in what agricultural officials say could be one of the state's worst grasshopper years. Robert W. Harper, chief of the State Agriculture Department's Bureau of Entomology, said today early predictions of a good grass hopper year are holding up. And a good year for the hoppers is a bad year for the farmers. The hoppers haven't started to move yet because heavy spring rains gave them plenty to cat in the mountains and foothills, Har per said. But when that is finished, they'll move down the gullies toward the valuable croplands of the central valleys. Harper said it will be several weeks, before the extent of the in festation can be fully determined but that all signs pointed to a se rious outbreak. State and federal aericultural officials are workinc to lay down' barriers to halt the migrations into the valley. Kern County is experiencing a grasshopper outbreak along a mile front east of Arvin and Edi son where the insects already are seeking greener pastures. From orange cove in Fresno County south through Tulare County vast grasshopper areas have been reported along the Si erra foothills. The Army is planning to lay down a barrier of bait material in the Camp Beal area of Nevada County, where the hoppers are threatening permanent pasture plantings. Harper says outbreaks of up to 100 grasshopper per square yard even had been reported as far north as Shasta and Siskiyou counties. Bulletin RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) An Argentine airliner with 22 persons aboard crashed off the coast of Brazil Tuesday. . .'.. The local office of the line, Aerolineas Argentinas, said it was not known whether there were any survivors. The airline said there were 16 passengers and 6 crewmen aboard the four-engine plane. Two of the passengers were cniiaren. The plane took off from Rio's international airport at 6:54 a.m. for Buenos Aires. It had arrived earlier in the day from Europe, The airline said the plane crashed near the island of Ilha Grande, about 75 miles southwest of Rio De Janeiro. Macmillan Asks Arms Cut BALTIMORE (AP) British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan called today for a start toward building world peace through a "litle by little" approach to dis carding all big weapons atomic and others. Macmillan's speech was pre pared for commencement exer cises at Johns Hopkins University, where President Eisenhower was to introduce him as "a great free world leader." Both were given honorary degrees by the school. Macmillan said the Western Sputnik To Be In Clear View CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) With clear weather, early risers should get a spectacular view of the rocket-satellite of Sputnik HI before dawn this week, Smithson ian Astrophysical Observatory re ported Tuesday. The rocket, and Sputnik III, it self, will be at the low point, or perigee, only about 130 miles above the earth, in their early morning passages. The rocket will be visible Wednesday mostly in the southern United States. Both satellites will be traveling outh southwest to north northeast. Later this week flic visibility will extend northward, taking in all parts of the United States. Bomarc Missile Test Success CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. (AP) Another Bomarc missile, the na tion's key air defense weapon, has streaked over the Atlantic in an apparently successful test. The Bomarc launching yester- aiy was the latest in a series to develop the ground-to-air inter ceptor lor operational status. More than 40 of the Boeing mis--itles have been fired from the Air Force test center sine the pro- trim began. . world alliance has served its pur pose well and must .be continued as a shield against Communist aggression. "But I am not without hope, he said, "that we may succeed little by little, if not all at once. in making some progress toward the relaxation of tensions in the world." Macmillan said it would be fool ish to exDect anv summit meet ing to bridge the gap between East and West. Spy Charges Threatened BERLIN (AP)-The East Ger- man Communists hinted today that nine U.S. Army men ar rested after their helicopter made a forced landing behind the Iron Curtain might be treated as spies. The East German army news paper Die Volksarmee said that Maj. James R. Zeller, Mount Joy, Pa., "and his inquisitive team have learned we. . .will not toler ate that our borders be overflown boldly to carry on espionage." "The air space over our terri tory is our air space and flying spies will be treated as such," the newspaper said. American officials say the U S helicopter, belonging to the 3rd Armored Division in West. Ger many, got lost in a thunderstorm Saturday, strayed over the East German frontier and ran out of fuel. The East German regime last night called on the United States to open direct talks with it to ob tain the release of the Americans The United States insists dealing with the Soviet Union on such matters since it does not recognize the East German gov ernment as a legal government Even the de facto recognition inherent in dealing with the East Germans on the fliers would be a major political victory for the Reds. . Despite the statement of the East Germans and a similar statement from the Soviet Em bassy in East Berlin, the U.S. Army persisted in seeking re lease of the men through the Soviet army garrison in East Germany.

United Fund Board Scores Cancer Group Withdrawal The withdrawal of the American Cancer Society from the United rund organization was roundly scored at the Monday noon meeting of the UF Board of Di rectors at the Willard Hotel. President Ralph Hcmmesch, in announcing the move, said. "As we have been expecting since the announcement of the American Cancer Society's national policy last fall, they have given us no tice that they will no longer be a part of our United Fund. The national policy told them they had to withdraw from all fed eration by 1060 so their state action Oldster Making Sure Coffin Will Be Comfortable STANSTEAD ABBOTS. Eneland (AP) Archie Miller disclosed Tuesday he has been napping in his coffin for 33 years and is satis fied that his last long rest will at least be comfortable. Miller is 92. Every afternoon he goes to a shed where he keeps the coffin and gives it a polish ing. Then, if drowsy, he crawls in for a snooze. The coffin is solid oak and cost 23 pounds about $100 when Miller bought it. 1 even had my photograpn taken in it, he told a reporter. Wanted to see how I'd look when the undertaker lays me out. I came into the world a bit rough, as one of nine children Now I'm making sure I go out respectable with an oak coflin with solid brass handles and ev erything." Storms Still Pester Nation By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The nation's weather pattern showed only minor changes today after another night of storms in east central sections and showers in most of the Eastern half of the country. ' Mostly dry weather prevailed iy the Far West although light rain continued in the Pacific Northwest. Tornadic winds and severe thun derstorms struck the northern half of Indiana last night as vio lent weather hit Midwest areas for the second straight night. Strong winds, hail and heavy rain were reported in central Illinois and sections of Ohio and Kentucky. A small tornado skipped across the Marion, Ind., area, uprooting trees and knocking down power lines. No injuries were reported. The thunderstorm belt extend ed through Ohio and extreme western parts of Pennsylvania and New York.

However," he continued. ' it is doubtful if our budget com mglee could have accepted them again this year anyway because of their flagrant use of funds. "The American Cancer Society has been offering to use their funds to subsidize any local can cer unit that will withdraw from federation. They are offering to match the funds raised by a United Fund for as many years as it may take the unit to raise the same amount of funds locally by their own drives. The same Junds that they are offering is the money tncy nave pleaded tor from the public in the interest of cancer research. Hemmesch explained the UF's stand on the issue further, sav ing, "We all agree that research in cancer is most vital and therefore we have honestly tried to support American Cancer Society, and now to find that great amounts of mon ey have been held in reserve to subsidize local units in a battle against the local federation is most revolting. It is no wonder why the large national health agencies do not want any citizens groups con trolling . their budgeting and expenditures. Many local United Funds are finding ways of channeling their health dollars directly to research institutes where somewhere be tween 90 and 100 per cent goes into research rather than the 20 lo 30 per cent when administered by many ot tne national health agencies." Hemmesch concluded, "There has lo be a better way for people to be able lo give for research in the health field than through the or ganizations that seem to be more interested in fighting among them selves, fighting federation and ac tually pulling the wool over the eyes of the giving public." .Margaret Sheridan, chairman of the budget committee, reported that a three man committee had al ready been set up to conduct c searching study of the problem. The three members of the com mittee are Chct Clark, chairman; Ron Phair and Hollin Cantrall. Mrs. Sheridan pointed out that the American Cancer Society and research into the cause and cure of cancer were two separate things. She outlined the fact that in 1957 the American Cancer Society and its divisions and units spent 11 million dollars for research, and (Continued on Page 4) Duck Stamp Boost Souqht WASHINGTON (AP) The cost of hunting ducks will go up from $2 to $3 if the House acts favor ably on a bill passed by the Sen ate on a voice vote Monday. Under the terms of the measure the price of duck stamps ' would go up and all of the proceeds except printing and distribution costs would go into the purchase of wet lands as wild fowl preserves. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson ID- Wash) told the Senate that about five million dollars now is raised annually by duck stamp sales. But he said about 80 per cent of the amount goes into the policing of duck hunting and other admin istration. ' Under the new bill the interior department would get direct ap propriations for these activities and the stamp funds would go into land purchases. Magnuson said the measure would clear the way for the Fish and Wildlife Service to acquire 77,000 additional waterfowl acres in the Puget Sound area, in cen tral Washington near Wenatchee and Toppenish in the northeastern part,of Washington state. explore the bill further at a i meeting. Sen. Pat McNanwa (D-Mlcni. Labor Committee member and member of the Plumbers Union, got out a statement saying he ob jected strenuously to a provision that would require use of secret ballots in the election of union of ficials. He said a federal law of this kind would violate "the very essence and meaning of democ racy. McNamara also criticized a sec tion seeking to prevent a person convicted of certain felonies from holding union office until one year after the restoration of his civil rights. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Arlz), another committee member, said a statement that the bill will not cure the abuses exposed by the Senate Rackets Investigating Committee headed by Sen. John Mcciellan (D-Ark). He said he was surprised that McClellan "has loaned his assistance to the pas sage of. a measure that falls so for short of his own recommen dations."

WHITNEY 1 AP Foreign News Analyst - Signs from Moscow indicate that Nikita Khrushchev may have pulled the rug out from under his chief Kremlin rival Mikhail Sus lov preparatory to purging him. Suslov is a secretary of the So viet Communist party's Central Committee, outranked only by First Secretary Khrushchev him self. He is also a member of the Presidium of the Central Commit- , tee, the group of top committee members which wields the real power. ; At least until recently he head ed all the propaganda and cultur al work of the Kremlin, was a leading party theoretician and had charge of the Kremlin's relations with foreign Communist parties. Some evidence indicates that Suslov on occasion has managed with some success to organize op position in the Central Committee to policies ot unrusncnew ' The signs that Suslov may be on the way out are too clear to be missed i 1. He has been absent front public appearances of the Krem lin leadership since May 16. 2. Particularly important was Suslov's absence from the recent Communist summit meeting, which demonstrated beyond any doubt that he had been removed from his former task of conduct ing relations with foreign Commu nist parties. . 3. On May 17 it became known that the head of the Central Com mittee's Section on Propaganda and Agitation, F. V. Tantinov, had been replaced by L. F, Ilyl chev. Since this was the key Cen tral Committee section under Sus lov and Konstantinov was Suslov's protege, this indicated a fall in Suslov's authority. 4. Khrushchev, speaking In Bul garia June 3, made an all-out at tack on theoreticians and an equally vigorous defense of the practical politicians. Ostensibly ' the vitriolic condemnation of emp ty theoreticians was directed at Yugoslav President Tito. But the real target may have been Suslov, the theoretician, as contrasted with Khrushchev, the practical politician. S. The Central Committee on June 8 took the seemingly unnec essary step of rehabilitating the already rehabilitated leading com posers Dmitri Shostakovich, Aram Khachaturian and others who were attacked as formalists in February 1948. This may well be a veiled attack on Suslov, since Suslov under Andrei Zhdanov was largely responsible in 1948 for the implementation of Stalin's policy of putting Soviet creative artists in a steel vise of communist par ty control.

Faithful Dog Wins Burial With Full Honors In Italy BORGO SAN LORENZO, Italy, (UPD The mayor of Borgo San tarenzo ordered burial with full honors today for Fido, a flea-bitten brown and white hound who remained faithful unto death. When Fido was a small dog he accompanied his master, Carlo Soriani, to a bus stop and would meet him there In the evening. Soriani was killed Dec. 29, 1943, in a wartime bombing of Florence. For nearly 14 years the dog waited for his master, trotting to Ihe bus stop every evening, wait ing until the last bus had gone and then trotting unhappily home Fido's faithfulness caught the imagination of all Italy. 11 earned him a go d medal and a monu itticnt from Italy's dog lovers. Six months ago the Communist may or unveiled a life-size ceramic clalun nf Fido in the illa square. ' In recent weeks tne trips to the bus stop grew more and more In frequent. The old dog was decrep it and sick and the one-mile walk often proved too much for his aching old legs. Monday afternoon tne faithful dog set out on his walk to the bus stop for the last time. Chil dren returning from school found him dead on the white, dusty road, a few hundred yards from the house where he lived with Sorlani's widow. Old age at least had stopped his broken heart. The mayor gave immediate or ders for the hound to rejoin his master In death. Fido will be buried just outside the wan if! the small cemetery of Luco U Mugei lo where Soriani rests.
