Newspaper Page TextU OP ORSSa.'J LI3.1A.1? CQji? In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS How government does business note: On Friday the ausust senate of the United States passed a min erals subsidy bill. It provides a live-year subsidy program lor lead, zinc, fluorspar and tungsten, with a STOCK-PILING program lor cop per. The bill isn't yet law. Before it can become law, the house must pass it and the President must sign it. The house may not pass it. The President may not sign it. Instead, he may veto it. But the senate has passed it. Questions: Is it a good bill? Should it become a law? Let s put it this way: Speaking in general terms, lead, tine, fluorspar, tungsten and cop per are running out of the pro ducers' ears. Prices are low and are tending to fall lower because present supply of these metals ex ceeds present demand for them. A subsidy would RAISE THE PRICE. That would please the pro ducers of lead, zinc, fluorspar, lungslen and copper. It would please the people of the areas in which these metals are nrorinred because it would help to keep the) mines operating instead of shut ling down. Another question: Is it economically wise to SUB SIDIZE products that are already in over-supply? For an answer to that, let's turn In the farm program of the past dozen years. The farm pro cram has SUBSIDIZED OVER PRODUCTION. As a result, the warehouses are bulging with sur plus farm products. Th' e surplus es hang over the farm markets of the future like a d a r k thunder cloud. So Subsidizing over - production of lead, zinc, fluorspar, tungsten and copper would result in accumulated surpluses of these metals that would hang over the markets ot Ihe future like a dark thunder cloud. Now for the BIG question: Why does the senale of the Unit ed States with the disastrous ex ample of the farm subsidies be fore it pass a bill that proposes lo subsidize lead, zinc, fluorspar, tungsten and copper, which are al ready over-produced? Well, it's like this: There are areas in our country where these metals are important items m the local economy. A sen ate bill to subsidize them leads lo belief in these areas that in rumbent senators are GOOD PEO PLE TO VOTE FOR. So The senale passes the subsidy bill even though its members may hope the house fails to pass it or the President vetoes it. That's what we call POLITICS Most thoughtlul people think we have too much politics and too lit tle statesmanship.

Bennett Goldfine struck back at his con gressional accusers Saturday. He said their purpose has been to smear, pry and spy.

(AP) - The rolling roar of a 21-gun salute and the melodic pealing of all Vic toria's church bells greeted petite Princess Margaret to Canada Sat urday. A bright red carpet ran from the unloading ramp of her plane. Eng land's royal sister stepped down ings into Goldline's relations with (R-Michi. Goldfine said he is "not con cerned one bit so far'' by Ihe sub committee's threats to cite him for contempt of Congress if he continues to balk at its questions about his financial dealings. The wealthy industrialist re fused Friday to answer 23 special ly prepared questions about trans actions by various of his com panies. The committee had draft ed them in an avowed move to lay the groundwork for contempt of Congress action. Goldfine, a friend of President Eisenhower's top assistant Sher man Adams, is due back lor more questioning Tuesday. He issued a statement as he left to spend the weekend at home. "A congressional commitee can not, and should not. be permit ted lo take unto itself the role of a detective agency," the state ment said. "The purpose of Con gress is legislation and not to smear, pry, and spy, as has been the case up to now." This was in sharp contrast with Goldfine's words when he left for Boston last weekend.

The Weather Bureau predicted temperatures east of the Cascades would climb up around the 100 1 mark again through Sunday with! cooler air and possible thunder storms moving in Sunday evening. Cooler weather was forecast for Western Oregon, which has been enjoying relatively pleasant coast al air. Two stale forest crews mopped up a 15-acre fire in scrub timber in western Jackson County east of Grants Pass Saturday morning alter trailing the blaze since Fri day night.

The picture changed in the last three days. The committee started boring in with questions about Goldfine s admittedly, complex fi nancial dealings. Several subcom mittee members said the hearings already had proved that Goldlinc won favored treatment from fed eral agencies because of his friendship with Adams. Simultaneously, a disagreement reportedly widened between Gold fine's two sets of lawyers over what sort of defense to put up in ine iace oi me inreat ot a con tempt citation. One Goldfine attorney said his client may be worse on as a re sult than if he had banked on a single legal command to guide his course.

(AP) The hunt was abandoned Satur day for Laska, the tin while mouse known to 'have lived through at least part of a 12,000 mile - an - hour journey through space. Sixty hours alter Laska was hurled aloft Wednesday night by a mighty Thor-Able rocket, the Air Force announced it had Solons Pass Housing Bill WASHINGTON (AP) The Sen ale has sped to Ine house a $2. 475,000.000 omnibus housing bill in a form strongly opposed by the Eisenhower administration. The measure, carrying authori zations for a variety of federal housing programs, goes well be yond President Eisenhower's recommendations. The Senate passed it by voice vole Friday after swiftly adopt ing several amendments without discussion. Before the final vole, Sen. Pres- cott Bush (R-Connl said Eisen hower might veto the bill if the House passes it in its present shape. It was uncertain what the House would do with the bill Sen. John Sparkman (D-Ala), floor manager for the measure, hailed it as a means to help solve nousing problems ot the elderly of low and middle income fami lies, of slum dwellers, and of the nation's colleges. Major new money authorizations in the bill are: $1,800,000,000 in federal grants for urban renewal or slum clear ance over a six-year period. 400 million for college dormito ry loans. 150 million for direct loans to veterans.

Idaho (AP) An elderly ex-miner who claimed he was short-changed for a heer flew into a rage Friday night, went home for a pistol and came back to shoot up the tavern. Police said Emil Olkoncn. 74. killed Mrs. Ruby Tanner, 66, she sat at the bar; shot point blank at the bartender, hitting him in the neck; fired at and nicked a fleeing customer, then shot twice at his own wife. Olkonen, his pistol empty. walked out the door and drove three blocks home. The tavern's 10 customers were almost too stunned In move. Police arrived and called for reinforcements from as far as 80 miles away. The berserk gunman had holed up in his modest frame home and put away the pistol for a rille. Police surrounded the place in the dark and used a loudspeaker to call for his surrender. Just then, a car drove up and the headlights made a perfect target of Police Chief George F. Elliott, 30. Olkonen fired twice, the first bullet bouncing off the ground and striking Elliott. With the neighborhood terrified, officers opened up and fired some 300 shots at intervals for the next three hours. It developed they were shooting all along at a dead man. Olkoncn s second shot long before was suicide.

It was the heaviest single blow at the Turks since communal fighting broke out on Cyprus five weeks ago. The Turks were attacked in a bus near Kondea Village 15 miles irom ramagusia on ine main roaa to Nicosia. The assailants were not immediately identified but presumably were Greek Cypriols. Five Greeks were killed in attacks Thursday. The island's British governor. Sir Hugh Foot, said he has been conferring with Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders on ways to stop the new wave of violence, which has killed 14 Turkish Cypriols and 27 Greek Cypriots since June 7. Sixteen Turks and 74 Greeks have been wounded. British Prime Minister Macmil- lan was reported ready to meet with Premier Constantino Kara- manlis of Greece and Aonan Men- deres of Turkey on the future of this embattled British crown colony in the eastern Mediterran ean.

McCarthy that the dis play constituted a "provocation" and was "contrary to national in terests. stopped the search for the mush room-shaped nose cone in which she traveled. Earlier, the Air Force had said the nose cone reached its Atlantic Ocean target area 6.000 miles away, near Ascension Island off the coast of Africa. It was the first intercontinental range flight by a U.S. ballistic missile. Ships and planes searched the area for 2"i days, hoping to re cover the cone and see how it and its passenger had fared . in the plunge from space through the dense atmosphere encompassing the earth. Capt. E. M. Griffith, Thor-Able project officer, told newsmen m an interview Saturday that Laska was known to be alive 22 minutes after the rocket blasted off. By that time the throe-inch-long mouse would have traveled more than 4,000 miles and Ihe nose cone would have been only eight min utes away from its target. "We received telemetry data on the mouse here at Cape Canaveral for 22 minutes, Griffith ex plained. "At that time, the heart beat was g"od." A few hours before Ihe Air Force gave up hope of find ing Laska, a Thor Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile blasted oil from the test center in another nose cone re-entry test. The nose cone of this missile flew some 1,500 miles in space, an nflicial spokesman said, and landed in the pre-determincd im pact area. Attempts were being made to recover special data capsule inside the cone. Thor test programs apparently have been accelerated in an ef fort lo have the missile in combat readiness by December, when Thor squadrons will be assigned to the Royal Air Force in Eng land. It was the 16th Thor IRB.M liring. Laska, a three-month-old fe male, was enclosed in a capsule bolted inside the nose cone. It was a cylindrical container, 8 inches long and 3'j inches in diameter. Laska was strapped down, hut her head and legs were left Iree. She had oxygen lo last her a week, water to drink, and a piece ot potato to eat. Two small wires In regisler her heart beit were attached lo an amplifier and telemetry equip ment. Despite the loss of Laska, Air Force authorities were happy over the success of Thor-Able in travel ing the intercontinental range This rocket reportedly will be part of the vehicle the Air Force plans; to fire to the moon next month Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Sunny Sunday.

'. , The paper said in a copyrighled story irom its Washington bureau that Adams, President Eisenhow er's lop aide, is seeking a way of maxing a graceful exit. Many Republicans contend Adams has outlived his usefulness because of disclosures of his asso ciation with industrialist Bernard Goldfine, Ihe paper said, adding that these Republicans "want the presidential assistant removed from Ihe area of controversy as long before the Nov. 4 elections as possible." The paper said that White House advisers argue that to quit while Congress is in session would "open tne door to a deluge ot cassa tions from Democratic senators and congressmen. . ." Congress may adjourn as early as Aug. 16 but it could run through Aug. 30, the eve of the Labor Day weekend. WASHINGTON I Moscow's repealed refusal to obtain freedom for nine American soldiers held in East Germany threatened Satur day to blow up into a first class row between the United States and Russia. Deputy Under Secretary of Stale Robert Murphy told hoviet Ambas sador Mikhail Menshikov Friday that the Soviet government is per mitting East German authorities to use the nine captive Americans to blackmail this country while deny- ng Russia s own responsibility for their return to the West. Continuation of this situation, Murphy sharply told the ambas sador, "can only worsen the rela tions of the Soviet Union and the United States to the profit of neith er country." In the same session wilh the So viet envoy, Murphy also delivered a stern protest against Soviet shooting down of an unarmed U.S. transport plane on June 27 and demanded punishment for "those guilty of attacks on the plane. Murphy also said the United States reserves its rights to com pensation for loss of the plane and injuries to the crew. Five of the crewmen were beat en after they parachuted from the burning aircraft one of them narrowly escaped being hanged by Soviet peasants. Four other crew men stayed with Ihe plane, which made a forced landing in Soviet Ar menia. All nine now are back in U.S. jurisdiction. In a formal note that Murphy gave Menshikov, the United States protested the attacks on the trans port by two Soviet jet fighters. It also protested the "failure of the Soviet government to provide im mediately to the U.S government all available information about the incident. Russia had charged the trans port deliberately ilew over Soviet territory. The United Stales re plied the plane was on a flight to Tehran. Iran, over the regular com merical air route across Tur key when it strayed across the Soviet frontier. "To suggest that a slow, four- engine propeller type, unarmed air craft would attempt to violate a heavily defended foreign area is preposterous, the U.S. note said The note was stern but restrained in tone. However. Murphy's oral protest against Soviet handling of the case of the American military men held in East Germany was much less formal and much more angry, ed Slates make a direct approach by diplomatic means in order to get the men released. Such an ap proach could be interpreted as im plying at least limited U.S. recog nition of the East German regirae, and the United States has refuted to take such action. . f Instead, this country has repeat' edly demanded that Ihe Soviets re--lease the men. The U.S. argument is that Russia still exercises au thority in East Germany as a post World War II occupation power. Murphy told Menshikov this gov. crnment still is waiting for a So viet reply to a July 3 demand for release of the nine men. White reported that Murphy also told Menshikov the "continued de tention of the men and their pro longed separation from their fami lies is inhumane." The attitude shown by the Soviet and East German authorities. Mur phy continued, is "difficult to re concile with the frequent Soviet protestations of desire for better understanding and relaxation of tensions. Ike's Mission Clears Air With Canada WASHINGTON (API-President Eisenhower, back in the White House after a three-day visit to Canada, is convinced his mission has laid a basis for better under standing and cooperation between Washington and Ottawa. Already there . were signs oi American efforts to heal a major economic sore spot between the United States and its neighbor to the north. After Eisenhower returned home Friday, officials said the Unit ed States is prepared to permit the sale of trucks lo Communist China by the Ford Motor Co.'i Canadian subsidiary. But officials expressed strong doubt Red China will follow through with an order. There is speculation the reported Red offer was made chiefly to cause trouble between this country and Canada.

Doctors said they weren't cer tain whether surgery "would or could be performed" on Ernest James Combs. Combs is now par alyzed from the waist down. Astoria Police Chief H. A. Ells worth said this is what happened: OHiccrs Patrick Codd and Wil liam Miller slopped Combs inside the city limits about 3 a.m. Satur day and told him he was under arrest for reckless driving. The officers told him lo drive to the police station. Combs, driving a pickup (ruck, headed out of lown toward his home in the Svcnsen area. The policemen chased him 14 miles and were right behind him when he pulled into his yard and dash ed toward his house. Codd said he fired one shot into Ihe ground as a warning and Combs fell. The officers put him in the police car and were return ing him lo Astoria when they no ticed a spot of blood on his shirt. They took him lo a hospital here where doctors said the bul let or a fragment of it apparently had entered Combs' hip and struck his spinal cord. because U.S. law forbidding all trade with Red China also applies to foreign subsidiaries of U.S. firms. Canadians, however, looked on Ihe Ford position as evidence a U.S. law had effect in their coun try and was denying employment to their people. Canada permits sale or nonstrategic goods to the Chinese Reds. r On another major point, it was learned the U.S. and Canadian governments can be expected to work out detailed instructions lot the recently, organized Joint De fense Command.
