0 Or OREGON LIBRART EUGENE, OBC COUP wr!o Price Ten Cents 1M Panel In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS The Anti-Superstition Society o( Chicago held its regular Friday the 13th meeting the other day. The members walked through a ladder into the dining room. They (at 13 to a table at 13 tables, with an open umbrella used as a centerpiece at each table. They ate a 13-course dinner and laughed merrily while 13 directors broke 13 mirrors with 13 horseshoes. A black cat glowered down at (hem throughout the meal. Hmmmmmm. ' Something unpleasant, in the natural course of events, will hap pen to ALL OF THEM sooner or later. The superstitious ones among us will then say with grim con viction: "I TOLD YOU SO!" You've read and heard, of course, of the Abominable Snow man of the Himalayas. You've snorted derisively, I suppose, and wondered what next these screw ball reporters will think up to fill space with. Wel-1-1-1-1-1- A hunter in Nepal (Nepal is an ancient pint-size kingdom high up In the Himalayas between Tibet and India) has just killed an ani mal that may be related to the Abominable Snowman or at least the creature people have been see ing over the generations and call' ing the Abominable Snowman. -It is described by the hunter as four and a half feet tall ana incredibly strong. Its skull and bide are being brought back to civilization to be examined by sci ntists.- Along the same general line four scientists have just reported they discovered a mountain range that would be worth a fortune if it wasn't for poor transportation. They are the first known men ever to visit the pensacoia range, which is about 400 miles from the south pole. There, they say, thev found iron ore. nickel, copper, chromium and possibly "rare ele ments" (but no gold or diamonds.) After visiting with their families, they hope to return to the Ant arctic for further investigation. Comment? Well, as long as weird animals auch as this (maybe) Abominable Snowman and hitherto undiscov ered mountain ranges that may be WORTH FORTUNES exist on this terrestrial ball of ours, why go wandering off into Outer Space in i search of the unknown? But Enough of the weird and the un known. Let's close this screed on a somewhat more serious note. What about Sherman Adams? Adams, of course, isn't popular with Democrats. He isn't popular with Democrats because he is a GOP high-up and Democrats, reasonably enough, hold to the be lief that there should be no men up GOP's. The high-ups, in their book, should all be Democrats. Adams, it should be added, has never been too popular with pro fessional Republicans. That may be all to his credit. If he is to live up to the responsibilities that rest on his shoulders, a man in his position has to say NO very often indeed. He probably has to cay no a thousand times to every time he can say YES. In general, great responsibility calls' for say ing NO far, far oftener than say in YES. In addition, he is an austere New Englander, and can say NO quite decisively. i One's first impulse is to conclude that there's a lot of politics in the accusations against him. We're all of us certainly going to want to hear his side of the story before making up our minds. But consid ering the seriousness of the charg es, he is being rather slow about giving us his side of the story As it stands now, a man who would accept the kind of gifts this Goldfine person is reported to have given to Adams isn't the kind of man to be assistant Pres ident. Caesar's wife must be above suspicion. House Investigators Say No Adams Smear Meant WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark) said today his House investigators did not smear Sherman Adams in linking him with Boston industrialist Ber nard Goldfine's troubles with fed eral agencies. "We have the facts," Harris told a news conference. However, he topped short of saying his House subcommittee will prove that Adams, President Eisenhower's No. 1 aide, influenced any federal agency decisions affecting the in terests of Goldfine. Harris spoke out after two Re publican senators Barry Gold water of Arizona and Charles E. Potter of Michigan said they don't want to have to defend the GOP against unrefuted charges that Adams accepted lavish gifts from Goldfine. The two senators, both running for reelection, indicated they think Adams will be a party li- ihlllty unless he clears up reports that Goldfine gave him a jiw vi cuna coat and aott.400 Oriental rug, la addition te paying more KLAMATH LAST MINUTE ARRANGEMENTS for the big Northwest Association meeting of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, due- to open in Klamath Falls Monday, were in course when members of the local arrangements committees took time out for this photo.

The' 9-year-old stowaway, Charles James McMillan, said he left home because he didn't have .anyone to play with. His family recently moved West from Mas sachusetts. Charles was met by news photo graphers, airline officials, sheriff's deputies and his anxious parents when he alighted from the plane at International Airport after his long roundtrip flight. The officers took him to a near by sheriff's station for "a long chat," then released him to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. McMillan of nearby Hawthorne. His disappearance from home Friday afternoon had touched off a door - to - door -neighborhood search by sheriffs officers. Neither Charles nor the McMil lans had much to say to each other as the boy stepped from a Western Air Lines plane into his mother's arms. All three had tears in their eyes. Charles gave his mother an orchid that had been presented to him by a passenger on the plane. The boy left home at 1 p.m Friday. At 2 a.m. Saturday he was discovered aboard a Western Air Lines plane that had just taken off from San Francisco for Seattle. He said he had stowed away in Los Angeles on a Trans World Airlines plane and switched to the WAL plane at San Fran cisco. than $2,000 worth of hotel bills for nim. The White House, and Adams, maintained tight-lipped silence. two days ago. however. Adams branded as "unwarranted and un fair" any insinuations that he sought or obtained preferred treatment for Goldfine from two agencies which he acknowledged contacting in Goldfine s behalf. Adams did not directly attribute such insinuations to Harris' sub committee, which first aired pub licly records showing Goldfine had paid hotel bills for Adams. Some Republicans, however, have accused the subcommittee of seeking to malign Adams unjustly 1 conscientiously don t think they are right," Harris said. What were doing is developing the lacts. we re not the lury. He said the record will be made at hearings which the commerce subcommittee will reopen Mon- da,. The group was set up to look into the operations of the semi- judicial government regulatory agencies. FALLS, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE' elude the following B. of R. T. of ficials: W. P.

With the political finesse of a professional politician, the old sol dier politely but firmly subdued his old aide, Jacques Soustslle. Soustelle, the jpUticaV'pnVfcr "b& hind the French army revolt in Algeria, obediently answered De Gaulle's summons to a meeting ana emerged with nothing more lor nis pains than vague permis sion to keep talking. Supporters of Soustelle. a mem ber of the junta in Algeria and a former governor general there, had wanted a Cabinet post for him. His opponents had wanted his scalp. De Gaulle heeded neither side. De Gaulle asked Soustelle to give members of the Cabinet his ideas on the 3-year-old rebellion of Algerian nationalists against French rule. Soustelle agreed and canceled plans to return immedi ately to Algiers. Gen. Raoul Salan, whom De Gaulle has put in charge in Alge ria, told an interviewer in Al giers that De Gaulle's television speech Friday night and the junta's motion supporting it "have solved all the problems." In that speech. De Gaulle pledged a campaign of pacifica tion in Algeria and called for all Frenchmen to support a bond drive to help France out of its financial troubles. Salan said the 400,000 troops in Algeria now can get back to fight ing the Algerian nationalists. Confirmation Is Long Delayed BELLINGHAM (AP) After a delay of 80 years, Fred W. Parker will be confirmed in the Episco pal Church Sunday.

Rhea, retired bishop of Idaho, will confirm Parker and a class of 24 others in an after noon service at St. Paul's Episco pal Church.

Telephone TU 4-8111 Senate Stalls Labor Bill Final Vote WASHINGTON (AP) - The Sen ate, after beating off new Repub lican attempts to make major changes. Saturday night delayed umu next week a final vote on a labor control bill. Democratic leaders gave up hope of passing the measure Sat urday merit alter Republicans made it clear they intend to talk at lengtn on the measure, which they contend lacks sufficient teeth to shut off racketeering practices. The bill is designed to assure greater democracy in labor unions and to curb any corruption by la bor officials. Democratic Leader Lyndon B Johnson of Texas worked out the agreement to limit debate in co operation with Republican Leader William F. Knowland, who was anxious to fly out to California in his campaign for governor. Under it, the Senate will permit half an hour debate on any of the more than 30 amendments still pending or any new amendment otlered. It will also allow six hours of general debate on final passage of the bin The debate limitation takes ef fect when the Senate returns to worn Monday. Pending was an amendment by Sen. Charles Potter (R-Mich). It seeks to let union members recov er any part of dues used for po litical purposes or other nonunion activities they oppose. Potter told the Senate that un der the union shop a worker is forced to join a union and pay dues in order to hold a job. He should be entitled to some say on how those dues are used, Potter said. It is a viola tion of a worker's rights to appro priate hard-earned dues money for political slush funds." One of the last skirmishes pre ceded adoption of an amendment by Sen. Sam J. Ervin (D-NC). It provides that local union officers must be elected by secret ballot every three years and national un- on officers every four years. This Scaled down by a year in both casts the term provisions in the original bill. A second part of the Ervin amendment would allow a local union lo remove any of its officers for cause at any time by at least a 51 per cent vote of its member- snip. British fil's Enter Cyprus NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Tough British paratroopers flew into Cyprus Saturday during an omi nous calm. As their jet Comets and four- engine transports swept. In, a strange quiet prevailed on this Mediterranean island after five days of Greek and Turkish Cypriot rioting that killed 16 and injured scores of others. Greek and Turkish Cypriots, separated in Nicosia by barbed wire and British soldiers, reopened their shops and crowds returned to the steaming hot streets. There were no incidents for the second straight day. The first elements of the 3d Parachute Battalion arrived just three days' before Britain an nounces its plan for the future of Cyprus. It is reported that both the Turkish Cypriot demand for par tition of the island between Greece and Turkey and the Greek demand for self-determination will he denied by the British. The island likely will be offered some form of self-government. From the look of things here now this will satisfy neither side. ' The paratroopers will join 25,000 other British soldiers standing guard on this disputed island. Throughout Cyprus soldiers were watching for signs of re newed trouble between the 400,000 Greek Cypriots and 100.000 Turk ish Cypriots. Tension almost vi brated in the summer heat.

US Accuses Soviets Of Propoganda WASHINGTON (AP) The1 United States accused Russia Sat urday of concealing some propa ganda hooks in its note accepting scientific talks on nuclear test de tection. It said the points must be cleared away before the talks open in Geneva July 1. Although this threatened a pos sible delay, press otlicer Joseph Reap said at the State Depart ment he assumed the conference would begin on schedule. The purpose of the U. S. objec tions seemed to be to deny the Soviet a propaganda advantage In respect to India and possibly Ja pan, and also on the issue of nu clear test suspension. But while challenging the Soviet note on these points, the United States said It was gratified to note "the high technical caliber" of experts designated by Russia to take part in tne -proposed meeting. The United States has insisted from the first that the Geneva talks should be purely scientific. Saturday it was learned that Sec retary of State Dulles has instruc ted the U. S. scientists who will attend to ignore political consider ations, unless the Soviet experts reverse them, and concentrate on solving the scientific problems of a test dejection system. Officials said Dulles had laid out a U. S. approach that is the re verse of usual international ne gotiation. The U. S. experts, they said, will not go to Geneva with a plan lor a system to police a test sus pension agreement. Their first move will be a proposal for a joint East-West analysis of the problems with a plan to he worked out only after thejacts have been developed ana agreed on.
