While Johnny was alighting from the stage coach, preparing to take the queen candidates to dinner before his performance, "Rattlesnake" tried to get a little cash. It turned out that Cash always pays by check, so Pete had to go back and dream of the good old das. Candidates are, from left to right, back row, Judy Sutherland, Junior Queen Delores Cotton, (peering over Cash) "Buttons" Smith, Norma Struble, Verona Dayley, and, front row, Susan LaVrar, Sharon Wilder and Dorothy Hessig. In The i Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS On the cold war front: For weeks we've been discussing with the Kremlin the idea of hold ing a meeting of nuclear scientists to see what can he done in the way of making a ban on testing of nuclear weapons (atom and hydro' gen bombs) workable. The meet ing was scheduled for Geneva (Switzerland) next Tuesday. Yesterday the Russians came through with a statement that' they won't attend the meeting unless the United States agrees in ad vance to END THE TESTING OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Is that bad? ' ' ' Let's put it this way: What real good can come of making agreements with people (or nations) whose word you can't rely on? The Moscow radio promptly un leashes a new propaganda attack on the West. The broadcast condemns the seg regation sit'jntion in the United States. It says the uproar over recent Hungarian executions was "drowned out by U.S. machine guns turned on the Lebanese pco-pie." The Kremlin reds also blasted the French for their stand in North Africa and the 19S6 invasion of Egypt. What's it all about? It sounds like the old technique of the pot calling the kettle black. Let's be serious for a moment The purpose of the Kremlin com munists is to conquer the world or communism. They will be diverted from that purpose only by a clear showing that the free world is too strong and too tough to be tackled. . Our job is to STAY STRONG, On the home front, the U.S. de partment of labor (which runs the cost of living indexes) will ask the congress for five million dollars next year to conduct a survey to determine just how Americans spend their paycheck. Hmmmmmm. Based on personal experience, I think I can answer that one. We spend it TOO QUICK. Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Mostly fair with variable high clouds through Friday.

(API- Morris L. Ernst, New York law yer, said here Wednesday he is convinced that Jesus de Galindez, who disappeared from New York March 12, 1956, is alive and can be found. . Galindez, enemy of the Rafael Trujillo dictatorship in the Domin ican Republic, was reported to have raised a million dollars as he conducted h i s campaign against Trujillo. Persons opposed to the dictator have said Galindez was kidnaped by an American aviator, Gerald Murphy of Eugene, Ore., flown to the Dominican Republic and mur dered there. Ernst, hired by the Dominican government to investigate, told a Rotary Club here that neither the Trujillo government nor Murphy was involved in the disappearance of Galindez, despite new evidence implying that Murphy had left memoranda containing Galindez' name. REBEL LEADERS CONVICTED ALGIERS UPI Handsome rebel leader Yacef Saadi, cap tured in the Casbah with his mistress last Sept. 24, was con victed Wednesday of seven bomb and gun attacks and condemned to the guillotine. His alleged ac complice Hamadi Amar also was sentenced to death. Saadi, 30, an ex-baker, had been convicted and sentenced to death in absentia be fore his capture but under French law he had to be retired in per- Airmen Ride Crippled Ship To Safety. 101 EKA. Kan. ( AP) A crip pled Air Force bomber limped along high above the eastern Kan sas plains last night. Inside, six men tried to decide whether to stay with the plane or bail out After two hours of tests, the air men elected to ride down with the six -engine RB47' reconnaissance bomber. They brought the plane home to Forbes Air Force Base without further mishap. "The two hours seemed like sev en hours because you know at the end you had to come down, said Maj. Lewis Chase, commander of the RB47R reconnaissance bomber. . i With an engine gone and ripped wing, the crew practiced landings at 15.000 feet slowing down and lowering flaps and land ing gear before they decided the ship could be coaxed to the ground. . The crew experienced a sudden jolt about 8 p. m. while on a rou tine training flight and Chase said he saw one of the plane's engines standing on end. A few seconds later it dropped off, ripping the underside of the right wing. The engine fell harmlessly in the back yard of a farmhouse about 50 miles south of here. "I called the crew and told them they could either bail out or ride it down," said Chase. "We could not see the bottom of the wing and we did not know whether the wing would stay on." Others aboard were Lt. Frank L. Hicks, Olympia. Wash., pilot; Capt. Thomas H. Hanley, Easton, Pa., navigator; 1st Lt. Heromu Goya, Honolulu: 1st Lt. Thomas J. Gresalfi. Baldwin. Long Island . Y.; and 2nd Lt. Roscoe H Fcbair. Covina, Calif. Like Chase, they decided to stay with the plane. Chase, a 36-year-old former combat pilot from Gallitzin. Pa said, "My initial reaction when I looked out and saw the wing and engine was that we would even-l tually have to bail out. After the engine dropped I knew we had control of the plane." WASHINGTON (AP) Former! publisher John Fox testified Thursday powerful and malign influences" were exerted against him from the federal government. He suggested the object was to eliminate his now-defunct Boston Post. And, Fox told House investiga tors, the federal forces were not unconnected with the Boston Her ald Traveler Corp. and Bernard Goldfine." A special House investigating subcommittee allowed Fox to be gin testifying in public despite ob jections by Goldfine, Boston indus trialist and friend of presidential assistant Sherman Adams. Goldfine contended through his lawyers that Fox's testimony could be expected to defame him. He asked that it be taken in closed session. The committee decided on an open hearing but under an agree ment that Fox would give notice if he were about to defame some one. On such notice, the committee would decide whether to go into closed session. Fox had a 3,000-word prepared statement. He said he began to be aware of what he called "powerful and malign influences. . . by a depart ment of the federal government in 1954, when it appeared he was overcoming legal difficulties in the way of a Boston parking develop ment in which he was interested '1 did not know the source of these pressures nor the reason for them," Fox went on, "unless their object was to eliminate the Boston Post, which was the only major newspaper in the United States that supported Harry S. Truman in 1948." The pressures, Fox said, result ed in forced liquidation of about 13 million dollars in bank loans "which were well secured by mar ketable securities." In connection with the Fox testi mony, Robert B. Choale. publish er of the Herald-Traveler, issued this statement in Boston: "While I have not had an op portunity to read John Fox's state ment before the Harris committee in full. I am sure that the people of Boston and New England have so thoroughly discredited Mr. Fox that no one will believe a word that he says. . . "Mr. Fox is attempting to con nect me with Bernard Goldfine. I can only say that I have no recol- lecton of having met Mr. Goldfine in my life. I have had no business connection whatsoever with him. So far as I know, he is not a stock holder in the Herald-Traveler.' Congress In Favors Probe U.S. Plans To Go Ahead With Geneva Conference WASHINGTON (AP) The United States informed Russia Thursday that so far as the West ern allies are concerned the pro jected July 1 conference at Gene va on nuclear tests detection problems "will proceed as agreed." A note delivered on personal orders of President Eisenhower also advised the Soviet govern ment following Wednesday's Russian turn-about that "the United States considers the aims of the conference to be precisely what Moscow and Washington have already agreed on. State Department officials said that in essence Russia was thus informed that the United States continues to reEard the Geneva meeting as a scientific rather than a political conference. That is. one arranged to explore ine prooiem of test detection before any polit ical commitment can be made on 'rtuallv suspending nuclear tests The U.S. note was delivered by VS.

Talmadge (D-Ga) con tended Thursday that arguments for Alaska statehood have their basis in idealism rather than real ism. . . stem from emotion rather than logic. The former Georgia governor. picking up the Southern opposition. spoke as the Senate speeded up its schedule in the third day of debate on the statehood bill. Sen. Mike Mansfield (Mont) acting Democratic leader, told newsmen he plans to keep the Sen ate in session well past Thursday night's dinner hour in hopes of getting one or more votes on pend ing points of order and amend ments. the Soviet Union also showed urn The first formal proposal for amendment or the bill reached the Senate Thursday. Submitted by Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-SC) would require congressional con currence before the P resident could create military reservation areas in northern and western Alaska. As the bill stands the ex ecutive could act on his own The "substantial division among the citizens of Alaska about the matter of statehood." Talmadge said, is in itself a reason for con gress to go slow. On the other side of the issue. would not attend unless the United Sen. John F. Kennedy D-Mass) urged passage of the bill as a demonstration "that the United States is able gradually yet effec tively to liquidate its colonial relationships." Kennedy said Alaska has giv en convincing demonstration of its capacity to fulfill the responsibili ties of statehood." Its case for statehood, he said, can stand on its own merits.

Simultaneously with the Ameri can note, the British served notice they will be in Geneva too. The U.S. move was agreed upon at a White House meeting last night between President Eisen hower and Secretary, of State Dulles. Ik seemed likely that, unless lor the meeting, the Kremlin would be trapped in a backfire of its own cold war maneuvering. Western diplomats were sur prised yesterday when the Soviet Union did an about-face less than ;4 hours after indicating it would have Soviet and East European experts on hand at Geneva, where the technical talks are due to open next Tuesday, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko Innded U.S. Ambassa dor Llewellyn Thompson a note saying Soviet nuclear experts BOSTON (AP)-Fcderal Judge William T. McCarthy says Boston industrialist Bernard Goldfine paid at least one hotel bill for him but never asked any favors. McCarthy s name came up at a congressional hearing into affairs of Goldfine. Members of a congressional sub committee said Goldfine will be asked next week about a report he paid a hotel bill for the Boston federal judge. In a statement Wednesday. Judge McCarthy said Goldfine paid one and possibly another ho tel bill for him when he visited New York. Judge McCarthy said he tried to reimburse Goldfine lor the hotel bill but the latter said "it was a minor matter. ..." A statement by Judge McCar thy said: I have known Mr. Bernard Goldfine in a personal capacity for period of approximately 30 years; and prior to my appoint ment as a United States attorney and U. S. district judge, I enjoyed at times a professional attorney- client relationship with him which at no time involved any legal problem of his which came before me officially in and public office held by me. He added that this included the federal court case of SEC (Securi ties and Exchange Commission) vs. East Boston Co. ( a Goldfine company). Judge McCarthy said he had dis- qualitied himself from sitting in the case. Wire Explains Solon's Stand The following wire was received by the Herald and News today from Sen. Richard Neuberger re garding current pressures being brought to bear in the Klamath Termination proceedings. Neuberger, chairman of the Sen ate Subcommittee on Indian Af fairs, has worked actively for S 3051, the bill under which the tim ber on the Klamath Reservation would be disposed of under the termination act. The wire, self explanatory in nature, is printed verbatim and follows: "Desire call your attention to continued campaign by National Association Lumber Manufacturers against Klamath purchase bill passed by Senate. Nils Hult of Junction City, Oregon, is name currently used for spearheading this effort. Believe this done to embarrass undersigned and other Oregon backers of bill. Neither Hult nor his organiza tion ever testified at any of the many hearings held on Klamath issue by our Indian affairs sub committee. His attack now being circulated among House members thoroughly distorted and misleading. Yet os tensible Oregon sponsorship of this attack is not without serious harm to our case. To add insult to injury. National Lumber Manufacturers are urging Hult for presidential appointment on Outdoor Resources Review Commission which I helped spon sor in Senate. Yet his attack on S 3051 could lead to vast damage to conservation values and Klam ath waterfowl marsh. Intend to make issue on Senate floor if Hult receives such ap pointment. Whole performance of National Lumber Manufacturers is shameful and reprehensible. It contrasts with straight for ward performance by George Weyerhaeuser of that company who testified openly before our sub committee in Portland and who has been most helpful in devel oping bill which nearly all major groups in Oregon can confidently support. Trust you can help alert pub lic opinion to this situation. Kind regards. Dick Neuberger, chairman Senate Subcommittee Indian Affairs. Wildcatters Terminate 3-Day Strike DETROIT (AP)-The Chrysler-1 operated Army missile plant re sumed normal operation Thursday as a rebel group of United Auto Workers ended a three-day wild cat strike. Police reported no trouble at the plant as workers returned to their jobs at the plant in subur ban Sterling Township. Although protesting, members of the Missile Plant Local 1245 voted last night to accept an order from the UAW international to return to work or face disciplin ary action. UAW President Walter Reuther, putting local leaders on the car pet, had threatened to place the local under an administrator. This could have meant removal of its officers. Coupled with this was a Circuit Court order obtained by Chrysler against mass picketing. Since Monday, the missiles plant had been picketed in viola tion ol the UAW no-strike policy during its present no-contract per iod in the auto industry. The union lacks contracts with Chrys ler, General Motors and Ford. Assembly of the Redstone mis sile and Jupiter rocket was crip pled even though Local 1245 rep resents only 450 of the plant's 3,500 workers. Two pickets were arrested yes terday for alleged disorderly con duct. Sheriffs men said one spread tacks at parking lot entrances and the other resisted officers trying to clear a path for worker cars. Strikers charged that Chrysler discriminated against the union minority group in the plant on job assignments and overtime work Chrysler denied this. Six Dead, 20 Injured In 4 Hours Of Tripoli Fight BEIRUT (AP) - Hard fighting raged for more than four hours Thursday in the port of Tripoli. At least six persons were killed and 20 injured. Omar Karomi, a rebel leader, told the Associated Press by tele phone that the fighting broke out at noon and quickly spread to the central section of the city. Ka romi is a brother of Tripoli s rebel leader Raschid Karomi. The fighting reached a climax about 3 p.m." Karomi said. Then it slacked offi but shooting was still going on at 4 p.m. He said security forces shelled rebel positions and destroyed one build ing. Tax Conferees OK Extension WASHINGTON (AP) Senate House conferees agreed Thursday on a compromise tax extension bill eliminating the 3 per cent ex cise tax on freight. Compromising differences m Senate and House versions, the House conferees yielded to the Senate on the freight tax repeal. Representatives of the Senate. which had voted the freight tax cut and also a reduction in the 10 per cent levy on passenger ares, gave up the passenger fare cut. The compromise involves a rev enue loss of approximately 450 million dollars. In addition, another 35 million dollars of taxes on pipeline trans portation of oil and gas would be repealed. The compromise bill now goes to Senate and House for action expected later Thursday. The transportation repeal was the only point at issue between House and Senate in passage of bills extending all other excises and the 52 per cent corporate tax rate another year past June 30. Without a new law those levies would drop on that day. LOADED PIE KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

Mrs. Hudson pro tested in court Wednesday that she did not know who threw in this extra ingredient. The judge, believing she did it herself, fined I her $25. Voters Will Recast Ballots Friday On School Budget States took a position in advance that a ban on nuclear weapons tests is needed. Some U.S. experts already were en route to Geneva. The Geneva talks are planned to discuss possible methods of polic ing any East-West agreement to ban such tests. Dulles has said the talks should be purely technical, steering clear of international political 'matters. Voters will again cast ballots i tomorrow on a proposed 1958-o9 budget for the city Elementary School District. Polls will open at 2 p.m. and close at 8 p m. in the Fremont Schobf, 715 High Street. At stake is the adoption or re jection of a budget calling for spending $1,189,156 next fiscal year on the city's gradt school system. The total is about $26,500 less than the $1,215,618 operational budget voters gave a red light to on May 5. For comparison purposes, budg eted expenditures for the '57 - '58 year now closing were $1,123,412. or $85,744 less than the total to be decided tomorrow. The biggest boost in the now- proposed budget is some $4.1,000 in instruction costs, most all of which is represented by salary hikes. Fixed charges, such as retire ment, are higher by some $17,000. If voters tomorrow okay t h e new budget, a millage tax rate of 49.5 will be required for the district in '58-'59. based on pres ent assessed values in the district of $17,267,415. The values, of course, are subject to change for next fiscal year taxing purposes. The 49 5 rate compares with i Employment Up In Basin "Unemployment continued to drop during June with all indus tries showing a healthy increase," Guy Barker, manager of the local state employment service office, reports. He adds that reports from retail trade last week were en couraging, with some employers reporting substantial gains over last year. Olher points made by Barker on the basis cf last week's activity were: Construction employment con tinues to increase, with most skilled workers now employed. The surplus of laborers remains about the same as transient work ers arrive in the area. Some of these transients are also skilled workers and are finding work here. The haying season is starting and is expected to absorb many of the transient laborers. Although employment is on the increase, we still have many col lege and high school students look ing for summer jobs. Four Oregon counties. Benton, Baker, Union and Tillamook, .show a lower peicentage of unemploy ment than Klamath County. These counties have not had the increase in labor force experienced in this county, which accounts for many ot our unemployed. Workers already drawing unem ployment insurance on the basis of previous Oregon employment filed new claims on their 1957 earnings last week; only 209 did so, as compared to 217 who filed in June 1957. This decrease can be accounted for mostly by the fact that many more workers have drawn maximum benefits this year. These workers, If they had 1957 earnings on which to base a claim, are eligible to file for the new benefit year this week. The federal law passed recently providing loans to states for ex tension of benefits will not affect Oregon claimants during the pres ent benefit year. It cannot af fect claims for the next benefit year starting July 1, 1958, without Oregon legislative action. Karomi denied Cairo radio re ports that strong rebel reinforce ments are marching on Tripoli. "We know of no reinforcements coming this way," he said. Tripoli is the city where the Lebanese rebellion started 48 days ago. four or five people are kiled here almost every day and about 15 injured." the rebel leader said. The rebellion-torn country tense ly awaited the start of an all-out attempt to overthrow the pro Western government of President -Camille Chamoun. Beirut, however, was still quiet at mid-morning after several hours of firing Wednesday. Cha moun had predicted Tuesday that leaders of the rebellion against his government wuld launch a full scale assault within 48 hours. In South Lebanon a land mine blew up a U.N. patrol jeep, slight ly wounding an Indian observer. The Indian was the third U. N. man wounded since the observer group came to Lebanon two weeks ago." Rebel attacks resumed Wednes day soon after U.N. Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold left by plane for New York with Premier Sami Solh's request for a U. N. emergency force to cut off aid to the rebels from President Nasser'i United Arab Republic. Solh asked Hammarskjold for an armed international force to replace the present corps of less than 100 observers and seal Leb anon's borders against aid and reinforcements to the rebels from the neighboring Syrian province of the United Arab Republic. Hammarskjold, due in New York today, was expected to re lay the request, to the Security Council. The probability of a Soviet veto in the Security Council of any police force proposal caused West ern diplomats at U.N. headquar ters to predict an emergency ses sion of the General Assembly would be called. The Assembly could act without a veto to send in international troops. But whether it could act in time to do Chamoun's govern ment any good was another mat ter. Chamoun said that if the U.N. fails to help him, he may call on the United States and Britain to provide direct aid under the U.N. Charter provision for collec tive defense. The Soviet Union has warned against either a U.N. emergency force for Lebanon or direct U.S.- British intervention. Thus a direct request from London would present the two nations with a hard choice: whether to run the unknown risks from the Soviet Union, or by re fusing to act to take the chance to seeing Jordan and Iraq as well as Lebanon swing to the side ot U.A.R. President Nasser. WRONG WAY BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPI) - Adam Whiltcd, 34, today faced charges of driving his one-horse wagon the wrong way on a one way street while intoxicated. SECOND TRIAL FRIBOURG, Switzerland (UPI) Marcel Peiry, 26, sentenced to five years in prison for theft, asked for a new trial on the ground that one of the judges slept through part of the proceed ings and therefore was not quali fied to pronounce a verdict. Peiry won a second trial.

School officials have declared that if voters decline the budget tomorrow, elementary schools can not open on time in the fall. After the defeat of May 5, ele mentary budget board members whittled off the $26,500 chiefly in elimination of two paving jobs, two noting installations, cancellation of new teacher orientation allow ances, including travel fare here and reduction of raises for jam tors.

Previous one was defeated May 5. Not that first proposition above calls for "yes" or "no" to raising $687,767.07 in taxes. Stat law requires a vote on this because the amount exceeds certain specified limits on yearly tax increases ("six per cent limitation.") Note second proposition calls for yes or "no" vote on whether budget should be adopted. Although ballot doesn't mention it, the budget proposes to spend $1,189,156 in fiscal 'S8-'59. This money would come from the $687,767.07 in taxes mentioned above, plus another $76,672.93 in taxes which doesn't require voter approval because it is the amount within the "six per cent limitation." Balance is made up of income to tha district, principally in the form of state aid, and carry-over cash from '57-'58. It is evident that "yes" vote on one proposition would be inconsistent with a "no" vote on the other. For full "d correct expression of opinion, each ballot should be marked with either two "w" votes or two "no" votes.
