COIP U OF OREGON LIBRARY EU3ENE, ORE. In The- Day'siews By FRANK JENKINS Election year note: The house of representatives to day rejects three major changes in the defense reorganization bill. President Eisenhower had backed these changes strongly, contending ,that they would strengthen our military establishment and make it more efficient. The house sup ported its own armed services committee against the President, Uirned down the changes he asked for. passed the bill and sent it on to the senate. The vote, this morning's dis patches report, generally followed party lines, with Republicans for and Democrats against the Presi dent's proposals. Who is right the house or the President? I wouldn't know. The issues in volved are highly technical, and an ordinary layman isn't competent to pass an 'opinion of , them. But President Eisenhower is general ly accepted as the world's fore most soldier. It stands to reason that when it comes to military matters he knows what he is talk ing about and isn't playing elec tion year politics. Foreign affairs note: Rebellious FRENCHMEN gath ered in Algiers this morning to spread their revolt against Be Gaulle to the French mainland. With the right win rebellion growing in strength, Premier De Gaulle will appeal to the na tion late this afternoon in a "fire side chat" broadcast by radio and TV. What's it all about? This is the issue: In Algeria, a million French col onists have been running the af fairs of NINE MILLION Algerian natives. The nine million Algerian natives want to run their own af fairs. If Premier De Gaulle's promise of EQUAL VOTING RIGHTS for Moslems and French men means what it seems to mean, the nine million Algerian natives will be able to run their own affairs. That's about the size of it. We'll see what we'll see.

Hmmmmmm. A lot of Americans apparently haven t heard about the recession.

Price Five Cents !0 Pages Lebanese Rebel Chiefs To Carry On Savage Fight BEIRUT, Lebanon (API Leb anese rebel leaders vow they will fight on against pro -Western President Camille Chamoun de spite the intervention of the U.N. Security Council. The vanguard of a U. N. observa tion group made plans today to carry out a becunty Council di rective to watch for the arms and men the Lebanese government ac cuses President Nasser's United Arab Republic of sending from the neighboring Syrian province to help the rebels. After a lengthy meeting last night, rebel leaders said if the council really wants to end the five-week crisis it should bar arms for the government from the United States, Britain, France Turkey, Iraq and Jordan. "It is these arms which consti tuted the primary cause of the tragic turn of events in Lebanon, a rebel statement said. The United States and Britain have made no secret of their arms shipments to the Lebanese government, a legal regime and an ally.- But there has been no evidence of shipments from the other nations the rebels named, and the idea appeared to be to in cite pro-Nass'er elements against favorite targets of U. A. R. prop aganda. The rebel statement said at tempts to cut off arms supplies from Syria "will not affect our movement or deflect it from its declared objective" of overthrow ing Chamoun. The U.;A. R. has denied aiding the rebels. The Syrian border is 150 moun tainous miles, and military men estimate that at least 5.000 men with reconnaissance planes would he needed to close the border to infiltrators; But the Council's hope was that the presence of its representatives would deter help to the rebels from the U. A.- R. government. ... t . A leading Beirut newspaper, O'Orlent, said the TJ.N. observ ers "would probably suffice to slop active intervention." Gov ernment officials have hinted that once this was halted the Lebanese army which so far has not gone all-out against the rebels would take stronger measures. Five officers borrowed from the U. N. Palestine Truce Organiza tion arrived yesterday to make a cuiick show after the Council ac tion Wednesday. In New York Secretary General Dag Hammar- skjold recruited observers from U. N. members.

Cyprus (API Britain is flying paratroopers to this Med iterranean island colony to strengthen forces trying to end continuing clashes between Greek and Turkish Cypnots. Eleven Cypriots have been killed since Saturday. British plans for the future of Cyprus to be announced Tuesday are expected to intensify the violence by failing fully to satisfy either the 400,000 Cypriots of Greek descent or the 100,000 Turks. The Greeks want the island an nexed to Greece. The Turks want Cyprus partitioned if the British leave. The situation approached civil war yesterday with the bloodiest battle yet. A gang of 300 Greek Cypriots tried to raid a Turkish village near Nicosia and was met with gunfire. Three Greeks were killed and nine wounded. British troops headed off part of the Greek mob, arresting 30 and disarming the rest, but one group set fire to crops and was attacked by hidden Turks. Seven teen Turks were arrested. In another clash, club-swinging British troops broke up a Turkish mob trying to storm a Nicosia po lice station. Authorities clamped an earlier curfew on the Turkish section of town. Off and on for several years Greek Cypriots have attacked British troops in a terror cam paign for independence and a chance to join Greece. Now the British find themselves in the middle as the Turks strike at their Greek neighbors in opposi tion to the campaign. The War Office in London said the situation on Cyprus is deter iorating and more troops are need ed to bolster the British forces that make this an East Mediter ranean strongpoint. About 500 paratroopers are expected to be flown here tomorrow. Other troops in England nave been alerted. Turkish Foreign Minister Fatin Rushtu Zorlu said in Ankara he had received a copy of the new British plan for Cyprus and he un derstood Athens also had been in formed. Zorlu refused to reveal the provisions but said the Turk ish government would never back down on partition demands. Greek Headers have been equal ly adamant in insisting on self determination for the island but have indicated they would settle for self-government if a definite date was set for an independence plebiscite. Thor Missile Tested Today CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPD A big Thor intermediate range missile, which the Air Force will use as the main stage of its moon rockets, roared up from Cape Canaveral today on a routine test flight. The towering Thor. some 65 feel tall and five or six feet thick at its base, was launched without the two additional high-p oner stages it will have mounted atop it tor tne moon snots. The firing appeared to be suc cessful. The missile, its heavy ice coat ing making it look like a giant ice cream cone, roared off the launching pad at 8:06 a.m. p.d.t. It was visible for about four minutes as it streaked into a part ly cloudy sky and disappeared over the Atlantic. Officials said before the launch ing that today's test was a "rou tine test" of the Thor as a ballis tic missile, not a moon vehicle. But technicians probably would get valuable information to help them ready the missile for the space launching. FALLS, OltF.GON, FRIDAY.

' - Friday The Thirteenth Is Today Watch Your Step.' By JIM PHILLIPS Better watch your step todav. It's Friday the 13th, and all kinds of things can happen when that combination comes up. In the first place, the day Fri day itself is thought to be un lucky, ... Its biack reputation dates back to the death of Christ which oc curred on a Friday. Eve also was said to have tempted Adam with the fatal apple on a Friday. And hangings were customarily held on that day. In olden days, it was common belief that 12 witches and the dev il always met on Friday to discuss evil-doings. The witch theory is Graham Fears Communist Dedication SAN FRANCISCO (API-Com munists are out - dedicating the Christians and will "sweep the world" unless non - Communist youlh is willing to dedicate itself to Christ and "march in His ar my." Billy Graham said here last night. The evangelist told 18.500 people mostly teenagers jammed into the 16.500-seat Cow Palace that "These people In Russia aren't slaves. Millions arc dedicated. They're out to change the world." With all aisles crowded with standees and an estimated 2.000 turned away, Graham asked his audience: "Are you willing to change the world for Christ?" "Will you stand and be dedicat ed? Will you say 'I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord. I II do what you want me to do? "How are are you ready to go with God? "Are you willing to change the world for Christ? When he asked them to stand. an estimated five or six thousand stood again, most of them young people. The "decisions for Christ" the end of the sermon numbered 1.067, bringing the total for the Crusade to dale to 23,285. Count ing the 2.000 who couldn't get in last night, total attendance now stands at 637,725. The crusade, now in its seventh week, ends Sun day. Oldsters Still Stick To Bike BOGATA, Tex. (API Age means nothing to the Davis brothers, who cranked up thfir motorcycle and had a Joyridc through this north Texas town. Charlie Davis is 7.1. Albert Da vis of Deport is 82. Their motor cycle, with sidecar, is 42 years old. Charlie was a motorcycle racer and was a racing promoter from 1912 lo 1017 at Iowa Park. He has kept his 1016 vehicle in perfect re pair since he moved to Bogata 20 years ago. In September. Charlie hauled his motorcycle to the Labor Day races in Dodge City. Kan., and won two first place trophies. One was for being the oldest rider, the other for the economy run which he averaged 00.62 miles to a gallon of gasoline. also tied up with the Norse goddess Freya, identified with Friday, who was banished to the mountains as a witch. Friday was thought ati unlucky day to be horn on (unless, iron ically, it r-ll on the 13th). and a poor day. 10 court,, marry and cut uiigei nans, v ,. ? As for the number 13, It also has a religious connection Christ and his faithful 11 apostles made 12, but Judas, the 13th, betrayed Him. Hundreds of years ago, people firmly believed if 13 persons ate at a table, pne would die before the year was over. The supersti tion was specially prevalent in France where even now there are few street addresses or hotel rooms containing the number "13." Today is especially a day to avoid black cats. In the Middle Ages, they were thought to be mas cots and friends of witches. After seven years of such service, it was believed black cats them selves turned into witches. Thus lo cross their path was to invite trouble. Egyptians, respecting the cat s ability to land on all fours, were certain black ones had more than one life and finally settled on nine. Also today, steer clear ot lad ders. A ladder leaning against a wall forms a triangle, which long ago was symbolical of the Holy Trinity. To walk under a ladder was thus to defy the Trinity and play into the hands of the devil. In ancient Asia, criminals were hung from the seventh rung of a ladder. If you walked under a lan der, you were thus apt to "catch death" from those who had de parted via the rope. A sure-tire remedy, nowever, was to cross your lingers im mediately and keep them that way until you saw a dog. Labor Control Bill Warning Issued Today WASHINGTON (AP) Sen John L. McClellan ID-Ark) told Senate colleagues Friday they might wreck the labor control bill if they load it with controversial amendments. The chairman of the Labor Rack ets Investigating Committeec said to those seeking even tighter con Irols, "We can load this bill down with things I favor and others favor and we'll get no legisla tion at all." He said the Senate Labor Com- miltee had made 22 changes in its original bill in line with sugges tions he made or favored and the pending measure should be enact ed to make sure "we have made some progress." McClellan took the floor after Sen. Barry Goldwaler (R-Arizi called for "plugging more loon holes" in line with suggestions .McClellan has made for tighten ing union controls.

Germany (AP) The Russians made it official today that the United States will have to deal directly with Communist East Germany to get buck nine American Army men and their helicopter who strayed into the Red satellite. The Russians delivered a letter lo the U. S. Embassy in Bonn declaring that return of the Amer icans was not within the com petence of the Soviet forces." The letter referred the U. S. au thorities to the East German gov ernment. Presumably the United States now will make some sort of approach to the satellite offi cials, since Secretary of State Dulles said earlier this week that negotiations with them to secure the return of the eight officers and one sergeant would not imply diplomatic recognition of the Red German government. The United States and its allies do not recognize the East Ger man government on the ground that it is an illegal regime im posed by the Soviet army. The Americans had asked the Rus sians as the postwar occupation authority in East Germany to re turn the men. The helicopter got lost in a thunderstorm Saturday. The Com munists charged it with violation of East German air space. East Berlin newspapers, which are un dcr light government control, have accepted Dulles' contention that negotiations would not imply recognition of the eastern govern ment. TASTY JOB TUCSON. Ariz.

Hie lacks Up Chief Aide In Influence Ruckus WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said Friday President Eisenhower has no intention of firing Sherman Adams, his chief aide who is a target of House in vestigators. At the same time, press secre tary James C. Hagerty said there will be no White House reply to an earlier question by a reporter as to whether Adams' good friend, industrialist Bernard G o 1 d f i n e. once gave Adams a $700 coat. Hagerty also said Adams has rejected reporters' request for a news conference at which to ques tion him personally regarding his relations with Goldfine. Adams acknowledged Thursday l-hat on three occasions he con tacted federal agencies regarding Goldfine business troubles with the agencies. Adams said Goldfine got no favored treatment from the agencies in return, and that he Adams sought none. Adams also acknowledged that Goldfine paid hotel bills for him during a period when the wealthy Boston industrialist was in trou ble before the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. He- said, however, that it was only a matter of accepting hospi tality from an old friend, and that he had thought Goldfine kept the hotel quarters on a permanent basis. The affair had prompted Rep Peter F. Mack Jr. (D-Ill) to say Eisenhower should lire Adams. Mack said that would be in keep ing with an Eisenhower campaign pledge for a government "clean as a hound s tooth. ' Asked if he could say whether Eisenhower has any intention of firing Adams, Hagerty shot back Sure I can. The answer is of couse not." At a news conference Thursday, Hagerty was asked whether Goldfine ever gave Adams a $700 vicuna coat. The press secretary replied he had no information on that, but would check into the matter. When the matter was raised again at his news conference Fri day. Hagerty said Adams had set forth his position in his letter Thursday to Rep. Orcn Harris ID- Ark), chairman of a House In vestigating subcommittee, and Adams would have nothing more to say. The Adams letter to Harris did not deal with any question about a coat. As for the request . that Adams hold a news conference Hagerty said that of course, he relayed that request to Adams, and Adams rejected it. Another reporter quoted Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughn, who was Ar my aide to President Truman, as saying on Aug. 31, 1949, that he did not regard his acceptance of a Bubbles Will Have To Wait For New Mate PALOS VERDES ESTATES, Calif. (UPD Bubbles the whale is going to have to wait a while longer for male companionship in her big tank at Marineland. But for a tunc Thursday, it looked as If the search for a boy friend for Bubbles had ended. A 2,500-pound male pilot whale. just Bubbles type, was found on the beach at nearby Torrance. The news sent a Marineland crew rushing to the scene. The big mammal was lashed to a raft and hoisted on a truck but died on the way to Marineland's tanks. Specialists said the whale was sick and would have died if he had stayed in the water. Bubbles, a likely specimen as female pilot whales go with meas urements of 72-72-72 from left to right, sings, dances and shakes flippers for food in daily perfor mances at the marine attraction. Marineland says Bubbles seems happy enough in captivity but that undoubtedly in the 1,700-pound body beats a heart longing lor male companionship Z T-iit4 T'XTSh MtoM&fl freezer unit as a matter involv ing influence "because I received it from a dear old personal friend." l ruman administration critics had made a big point of such gifts. Hagerty was asked whether he saw any similarity between the Vaughn incident and the Adams Goldfine matter. No." the Dress secretary re plied. As for the possibility of Adams testifying before the Harris invest igating committee, Hagerty said he has heard no discuAn of that. Mack had at least implied back ing for his fire-Adams suggestion. De Gaulle On March Despite Army Caution PARIS (AP)-Premier de Gaulle today pressed his campaign to strengthen the constitutional, eco nomic and colonial sources of French power. But his army of ficers in Algeria remained on the insurgent committees of public safety which are attacking his government. The soldier-premier gave no signs of knuckling under to right wing extremists who want him to disregard the civilian spokesmen of France s moderate political parties. De Gaulle pointedly snubbed Jacques Soustelle, the darling of the Algerian insurgents who ar rived here late yesterday aboard a special military plane after a summons from De Gaulle. Aides said vaguely that Soustelle might get to see the general sometime today or tomorrow. De Gaulle spent yesterday ex plaining his plans for constitution al reforms to various national groups. Today he summoned his top Cabinet aides to discuss still secret proposals for ending the parliamentary chaos that hastop- piea 25 postwar governments.. He also huddled with his eco nomic advisers on a new nation wide bond issue to replenish the country s depleted store ol foreign exchange. , . De Gaulle himself was to kick off the bond drive with a nation wide radio and television appeal tonight. The bonds reportedly will be sold for gold or hard currency which Frenchmen hoard in times of crisis and pegged to the gold napoleon for eventual repay ment. De Gaulle's continued associa tion with such political leaders as Socialist chief Guy Mollet and MRP leader Pierre Pflimlin. de spite the screams of the critics in Algiers, showed his new aware ness that their support is needed to put his plan for constitutional reforms across with the voters. On the colonial front the pre. mier scheduled a conference with Felix Houphouet-Boigny, a West African Negro who is one of his vice premiers.
