THURSDAY. JUNE J6. 19S8 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 8 A Knowing Who Is Boss In Lebanon May Save Life BEIRUT (AP) - You have to know who's boss where in Leban on these days. Many areas of the country's 4.000 square miles are held by rebel bands who have fought against the government for nearly seven weeks. When you enter those sections, you had better have the name of the local leader on the tip of your tongue. Other wise you run a good risk of being (hot. Lebanese army units recently evacuated Halba, in the extreme north. This left all north Lebanon, from Tripoli on, in rebel hands. Most of north Lebanon is wild. mountainous country ideal for guerrillas. The mountains over. lap into Syria, and the rebel guer rillas easily move back and forth across the frontier to elude pur suers or to get supplies and reinforcements. In the areas nearest the Dort of Tripoli, the insurgent bands are loyal to Rashid Karami, former prime minister who now is a lead er of the rebellion against Presi dent Camille Chamoun. To the East, in the Hermel region, rebels lonow uruze chiettain Shibli Aryan. In the fertile Bekaa Valley of eastern Lebanon, the northern region is held mainly by bands unaer tormer bpeaker of Parlia ment Sabri Hamadeh. fanner south, in the moun tains, is the region held by one of the most powerful rebel lead ers, socialist Kamal Jumblatt, Druze and former minister of finance. He manages to keep a corridor open to Rachaya, on the Syrian frontier, and Syrian Druzes tend him men and materiel. South of Jumblatt and inland from the coast, the dominant lead er is rebel Ahmed Assaad, anoth er former speaker of Parliament. There has been little fighting in this region, and the line between government and rebel territory is indistinct. The government main tains gendarmerie posts in most towns and villages and has kept most of the roads open. tjovernment forces hold the main coastal road and the Beirut- Damascus highway as far as the Syrian frontier. The government also has hung onto the chief cities Beirut, Sidon and Tripoli. But inside each of these cities, rebel gangs are holed up in certain sec tors where they are supreme. In Beirut, the gangs are loyal to former Prime Minister Saeb Salam. In Tripoli, they are Ka rami s men. In bidon they are followers of Maarouf Saad, member of Parliament. The rebels' plan appears to be to consolidate their position in the north, then drive southward in the Bekaa to link up the northern bands with Jumblatt's forces JumblaU's men then would try to cut the Beirut-Sidon road and pin government forces into a box comprising Beirut, Kesrouan and Metn. To thwart this strategy, the Leb anese army has nearly 9,000 men, reinforced by shipments of light tanks from America and a few Vampire jet fighters. Rebel armed strength is esti mated at 5.000-6,000, skilled chief ly in mountain warfare. They lack aircraft and heavy armament but are being reinforced steadily with mortars and field guns from Syria. Knight Accuses Leaders Of Shortchanging State SACRAMENTO (AP) Gov. Knight accused the federal gov ernment today of shortchanging California on its veterans popula tion. Addressing the opening session of the state American Legion con vention, he said California has 10 per cent of the nation's veterans but that Washington won't ad mit it. The governor said California has 2,270,000 resident veterans, 200.000 more than the government con cedes. "To be denied oflicial federal recognition of this figure means that we are not getting our de served share of those allocations which are based on veteran popu lation." Knight said in a prepared fpeech. Hit , tit T M. tc O ft. Pit Off. IHI Nt Hnn, wt. Retail Sales Take Big Dip In California Says Board SACRAMENTO (AP) Califor-I nians bought more books, flowers, photo equipment and sporting goods than usual during the first three months of 1958, but retail sales generally took their biggest drop in three years. The Board of Equalization re ported yesterday that lirst quarter taxable transactions dipped tm S4.250.067.0UO a drop of 7.3 per cent from first quarter sales last year and the lowest level since the first three months of 1955.

Segregation To Stay In Dallas Schools For Year HELD IN SLASHING HARIANNA, Fla. (UPD A pair of Negro teen-agers who escaped from the Florida School for Boys faced possible criminal charges today for slashing a white house wife with a kitchen knile. Police said the victim, Mrs. M. W. Cary, surprised the youths, aged 15 and 16, in her kitchen Wednesday. One of them cut her on the arms and hands. Printed Pattern ' I I VU3 ' 9-17 The governor said if he is elec ted senator he would: Seek inclusion of a veteran count in the 1960 census, ask the president to stop the Budget Bu- rea s policy of reducing the num ber of veterans hospital beds, and favor speeded construction and improvement of VA hospitals. Knight also urged the 4,500 dele gates to support Prop. 1 on the November ballot a 300 million dollar bond issue to continue Cal ve! farm and home loans. It would be "added insurance against any resurgence of the now- fading recession, he said. State Legion Commander Alfred P. Chamie of Los Angeles told a press conference yesterday the Legion will go all out for Prop. 1, using both volunteer help and money in the campaign. The big task, he said, will he convincing the voters that the bond issue is self-liquidating and won't cost any tax money. Lt. Gov. Harold J. Powers said the Cal-vet loan should pass not only as an aid to deserving veter ans, but because or the jobs and prosperity the residential develop ment will create. Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown and State Controller Robert C. Kirkwood also are scheduled to speak today. Sen. William F Knowland, Rep. Clair Engle. and State Treasurer A. Ronald Button are on tomorrow's program The session ends Sunday with election of officers. DALLAS (AP) The Dallas school board, beset on two sides and bogged down in a legal mo rass, said last night its schools will remain segregated in the coming school year. It pointed toward an apparent conflict between the U. S. Su preme Court's ruling against school segregation and Texas in tegration laws. "The board is convinced that it would be a poor service to Dallas and to the large area of the South west which may follow the Dallas lead to undertake the activation of the Supreme Court decree un til federal and state courts reach some legally acceptable unanim ity of opinion, said the board s statement. Edwin C. Washington Jr., who spoke at the school board meet ing, was booed when he said ne was a field representative of the Da las branch of the NAACr He said he was "disappointed in the board for its seeming delay in not making a prompt and rea sonable start (toward integra tion)." "It grieves me," he said, that his two children "will be denied their rights.' The Rev. R. E. Davis, who said he was president of a local White Citizens Council, said if the board carries out integration it would be "aiding and abetting the Supreme Court in destroying every vestige Porch Collapses Killing Woman PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) For months Mrs. Irene House aired scatter rugs by hanging them on a sun porch railing at the rear of her second-floor duplex apartment. As she started to drape a rug over the railing yesterday, the wooden structure collapsed. The 31-year-old mother of four children plunged 18 feet to the ground, striking a metal pipe. She died soon alter arrival at a hos pital. Police took custody of the chil dren ages 6 months to 7 years until their father, who was working in berry fields in western Oregon, arrives home. of constitutional law and order- shaking the very pillars of the Republic. T he board also authorized its attorney to start action in stale courts to solve the legal prob lems. This drew criticism from Llovd S. Riddle, who said he was a White Citizens Council member. He objected to what he called the board s attack on state laws and declared, "The only thing I can say for the board is that the schools are still segregated." The U. s. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals July 23, 1957, ordered the Dallas school district, which has roughly 115.000 pupils, integrated. Hut it did not set a deadline. The Dallas school board con tends it cannot comply with the decree without violating a law passed by the 1956 Texas Legislature. The -state law says a school dis trict cannot integrate without ap proval in a local option election. If it does, it shall lose state funds and accreditation and authorities shall be fined. No such election has been called by Dallas voters. Both a federal district court and the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals inrew out tne school board s re quest for a ruling whether to fol low tne lederr.l court decrees or state law. The federal courts said (hey had no jurisdiction. Credit Curbs May Return WASHINGTON AP) Rising concern over inflation has led some key administration officials to consider a revival of standby consumer credit controls. Secretary of the Treasury An derson, it was learned today, is among those who feel it might be advisable to ask Congress for power to regulate down payments and installment terms on autos and appliances. Anderson and others were de scribed as fearful that the big fed eral deficits looming ahead perhaps 10 billion dollars in the year starting July 1 will help fuel the flames for inflation unless the government is alerted and equipped for fire fighting. The standby credit authority idea looks to the period after the recession. Until then, informants emphasized, the government will continue to foster business recov ery by every means at hand eluding "easy money" cheap and ample credit. Officials want no recurrence of the pattern which followed the 1953-54 recession. The 1954 upturn blossomed into 1955's credit-buy ing binge. That was followed by a two-year rise in living costs which hasn t stopped yet and a sudden business slump. noted that despite rising prices and a steadily growing population the recession lag in production and employment showed up in the lessened sales volume. mosi specialty aeaiers, noweveri rin(.iclc- cnnrilnff elnnAe rlaalorc ! book and stationery stores and photo equipment and supply stores did better than usual. Food and drink dealers, retail food stores, women's apparel, drugs and shoe stores showed in creases, as did automobile parts, trailer, boat, motorcycle and air plane dealers. ; Taxable transactions ot contrac tors and building -materials deal ers and manufacturers, wholesal ers and miscellaneous outlets dropped to their lowest level since the third quarter of 1956. Taxable business by service sta tions also declined. Others that failed to equal their winter quarter, 1957, volume in cluded: Household appliances, house hold and home furnishings, family and men's apparel, gift, art goods and novelty stores, musical instru ment dealers, jewelry stores and eating and drinking places selling all kinds of liquor.

ICC Slates Timber Action WASHINGTON (AP) The In terstate Commerce Commission said today it plans to act prompt ly in proceedings involving a pro posal by western railroads to reduce rates on lumber shipments from Oregon and California to California and Arizona. Ren. Char es O. Porter (D-Ore) said he was advised by Howard G. Freas, acting ICC chairman that the commission plans to rule promptly on the railroads re quest that the commission reverse its order suspending the rale cut pending an investigation. Should the suspension be re versed, Froas said, the cut would become eflective immediately. If. on the other hand, the petition is denied, the proceeding will be assigned for early hearing. probably in San trancisco, ne said.
