tj OF OZZZM LIBRARY C02P EUuSKSi OSS. la Th- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS For tome time past people at home and abroad have been look ing to President Eisenhower for leadership firm leadership, DE CISIVE leadership. Well- HE HAS PROVIDED IT. What he has done in Lebanon is decisive. It has to be gone through with. Having put our hand to the plow in the Middle East, we can't turn back. Turning back would be fatal. In Lebanon we are in the posi tion of a man who enters a neigh bor's premises for a WORTHY purpose such as closing his doors and windows to prevent damage from an impending storm. In the neighbor's yard there is a dog a big dog, an unfriendly dog, a MENACING dog. The man . has a choice. He can go ahead, or he can run. II he goes ahead he may be able to bluff the dog by a firm showing that he is there on legitimate business, that he knows his business and means to go through with it, and that he isn't reared. In that event, the dog may back off. If the man runs, he is CERTAIN to get badly bitten. Having entered the Middle East. there are three things we must accomplish if we are to emerge irom the adventure with the re spect and the confidence of the world: 1. We must prove to the world at large that our motives are pure. 2. To the Arabs, we must prove that we are not initiating a new imperialism, with us as the boss imperialist. 3. We must make it plain to the Kremlin that if it starts shooting it will wish it hadn t. As to Job No. 3, which is the BIG one This morning's dispatches reveal that the United States has COM PLETED THE BUILD-UP of a powerful and flexible NUCLEAR striking force at Adana in Turkey Adana, as you will note if you consult your map, is only a few minutes from ANYWHERE in the Middle East. It is less than an hour from the Russian frontier. It is only a few hours from Moscow. And- Having established this base at Adana It is CERTAIN that we have alerted ALL of our bases that 'ring Russia on every side. At these bases there are bombers with nuclear bombs in their bays. All of these will be able to take off within a few minutes after re ceiving the command to do so. That is to say: THIS IS A SHOWDOWN. We are prepared to go through with what we have started. The leadership the President of the United States is providing is DE CISIVE leadership. We'll see what we'll see. Price Five Cents 20 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON. FRIDAY, JULY 18, 195 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. CI 7 Lloyd, Dulles Resume Talks In Capital WASHINGTON (API British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd resumed his momentous u. S talks Friday amid increasing in dications the West may have to learn to live with the new revolu tionary regime in Iraq. Lloyd, conferred at the slate department with Secretary Dulles. The British official had no com ment afterward to a variety of questions put to him by reporters. He did say he would confer again witn Dulles later in the day. The White House announced close identity ol views' was achieved in yesterday's marathon consultation. But behind t h e scenes officials painted a bleak picture of the West's chances of ousting the revolutionaries who seized control of oil-rich Iraq .vionaay. It was this seizure, Eisenhower has said, which goaded him into sending 5.000 Marines to Lebanon. where the pro-West regime has been battling rebels since mid May. Britain ascribed the same motivation to its dispatch of 2.000 paratroopers to Jordan yesterday Eisenhower, with full British support for his action, denounced the Iraq rebels as ruthless mur derers attacking a lawful government. There was no sign, however, of any U.S.-British decision on what to do about Iraq. This, and the burning peace-or-war question of how the Soviet Union would react to any new Western gambit, were reported to be the basic issues un der study by Eisenhower, Dulles, Lloyd and their advisers. Jordan's courageous young King Hussein was described here as determined to avenge the death of his cousin King Faisal of Iraq at the hands of Iraq rebels following the star of President Nasser of the United Arab Republic. But British Prime Minister Har old Macmillan publicly ruled out any British-supported invasion of Iraq. He told the House of- Com mons British troops would not attack Iraq. Further, he said Hus sein assured him British forces would not be used to free Jor danian soldiers for an invasion of Iraq. V" ... jr FLEET BOSS Vice Adm. Charles R. Brown is in com mand of the U.

(AP) The United Arab Republic said Friday the United States had threatened it with direct action if U.S. Marines in Lebanon are at tacked by troops under U.A.R. control. Ambassador Omar Loutfi. the U.A.R. delegate, said the threat was made earlier this week by U.S. Ambassador Raymond Hare in Cairo. He said Hare had de clared the Marines would reply if they are attacked. "What is important." Loutfi said, "is that the United States wishes to be the arbiter of what forces are under our control. This inherent threat is fraught with great consequences, f . Loutfi spoke as the U. N. Se curity Council neared a vole on a series of proposals for action in the Middle East crisis. Just as a vote appeared imminent, the coun cil adjourned until afternoon. Soviet Delegate Arkady A. So- bolev said he considered the U.S. diplomatic warning to President Nasser s government as a direct threat of action. The council cannot sit by silence in the face of such a threat, Sobolev said. He declared the threat must be met by an im mediate vote on a Soviet demand for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Lebanon and British forces from Jordan. Sobolev insisted on top priority for the Soviet resolution at the afternoon session. U. S. Ambas sador Henry Cabot Lodge prev iously had urged the council to vote first on an American plan for a U.N. army to replace the U.S. Marines. Meanwhile, delegates expected that the council might be power less to act and that an emergency session of the General Assembly would be called. Three resolutions to deal with the crisis seemed headed for ob livion in the day's Council session. Indications were that once the U-nation Council had failed to agree on any action, either the United States or the Soviet Union would ask for a special session and the 81-nation Assembly would meet in a few days. Massive U.S. Forces Held In Reserve WASHINGTON (AP) The Unit ed Stales, playing by ear its mil itary moves in the Middle East, so far has committed only a tiny traction of its total available troop strength to the area. The proportion for the Air Force was only a little larger. But the show of Navy air-sea power had mounted to imposing proportions and branched out to include not only operations in Leb anon but a 50-plane sortie over Jordan "to lot it be known the planes were there," a Defense De partment spokesman explained. In the area ashore in Lebanon, waiting to go ashore from am phibious ships off the coast or poised at a base in southern Tur keywas a total of about 7.800 ground forces. Of these, approxi mately 6,230 were Marines on the scene or en route there for pur poses of replacement, Total strength of the Marine Corps is about 190.000. The Army so far has commit ted one airborne battle group of about 1,600 men. Total Army strength is about 900,000. The Air Force has put a com posite striking force in position at a base in Turkey. A striking force is composed of about 100 assorted types of aircraft. The composite force is an element of the Tacti cal Air Command. In that com mand alone there are about 3,000 combat aircraft. This does not in clude the aircraft of other Air Force organizations, such as the Strategic Air Command, which flies almost 2,500 heavy and me dium bombers and tanker aircraft or the several thousand planes of the Air Defense Command. The Navy, by last night, had 44 ships standing along the Lebanese coast carriers, cruisers, destroy ers, amphibious ships and land ing craft. This is only a part of the 400 combatant vessels of the Navy. PJlideast Troop PJloue Brings Mepermssion MIDEAST EXPERT is Lt. Gen. John Bagot Glubb, one of the world's leading experts en Mideast affairs. Glubb sees but one certain solution to turmoil there. Only by convincing ths Arabs of the good inten tions of the West toward them, says Glubb, can an amicable situation be per manently restored. Glubb was chief of the Arab Le gion until his ouster in 1956 by King Hussein of Jordan. LATE BULLETINS CAIRO (AP) President Nas ser said Friday night the era of occupation has ended and Arabs are ready "to light until the last drop of their blood" to preserve Arab nationalism.

Harris heads the special House subcommitteee conducting Invest igations of relations between Adams and Boston industrialist Bernard Goldfine. U.S. Embassy Building Hit By Red Mobs MOSCOW (AP) An unruly mob of more than 100,000 Russians smashed 50 windows in the U.S. Embassy Friday and pelted the building with bottles containing blue and green ink. The wild demonstration against the landing of U.S. troops in Leb anon lasted more than three hours before Soviet militiamen made a determined effort to get the crowd under control. The smashing of windows and the throwing of ink bottles went on for more than an hour. The crowd covered a 10-lane boulevard in front of the embassy and extended for a half a mile in either direction. A force of 300 lo 400 militiamen finally began pushing the demon strators back from the embassy to a sidewalk on the far side of the street. By that time every window on the first three floors had been smashed and there was a scatter ing of broken glass on other floors up to the sixth. A nearly-spent air gun pellet hit a window of Ambassador Llewellyn E. Thompson's office on the ninth floor of the 10-story building but failed to break the pane. All embassy personnel had been ordered by Thompson to stay well away from the front of the build ing and there were no reports of any injuries to Americans. Some over-enthusiastic members of the mob scuffled with militiamen, but appeared to have escaped any injury. Meanwhile, a side demonstra tion developed at the British Em bassy, opposite the Kremlin. The crowd there numbered several hundred, rowdy but not in the ugly mood of those in front of the U.b. building. This crowd surged into tne Brit ish Embassy courtyard and hung placards. Alter letting them dem onstrate for a quarter of an hour or so the police shooed these dem onstrators into the street.- .: . : ( ,,OL'.Xv KEY FIGURE in the Middle East crisis is boyish-looking King Hussein of Jordan, whose cousin, King Faisal of Iraq, was deposed and reportedly murdered by a pro-Nasser revolt in that country.

Hussein requested military aid from both the United States and Britain. UNDECLARED TRUCE LONDON (AP) An undeclared truce between Greek and Turkish factions in Cyprus appeared shaping up Friday. Diplomatic sources said Greek Premier Con stantine Karamanlis and Turkish Premier Adnan Menderes were quietly intervening in an effort to end more than three years of civil strife in the crown colony, BERLIN (AP) Communist- led mobs lore down American and British flags flying over the U.S. and British missions in Potsdam Friday in prolest against Western actions in the Middle East. Members of a mob of 2,500 East Germans wrote "Americans Go Home" on the U.S. banner, then hoisted it again, the official East German news agency ADN reported. The mob, made up of workers released from factories, demand ed that Americans in the mission come out and face them. ADN said the American officers and enlisted men remained inside. Another mob later showed up in front of the British mission and tore down the flag there. Official sources said the United States and Britain almost certain ly will protest to Russia. Under postwar Big Four accords, the Western allies hold Russia respon sible for protection of their inter ests in East Germany. The demonstrations in Potsdam, just outside Berlin, were part of a reported nationwide series of such rallies. ADN said the Potsdam mob surged up to the American mis sion "full of wrath and indignation over the brutal AnsloAmerican aggression in Ihe Middle East," Nobody Frets Over Russia, Says Paper ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) "Nobody worries about the Rus sian threat. That headline in the pro-government newspaper Havadis reflect ed the mood of Turks Friday as the Soviet Union began its high ly advertised maneuvers on Turk ey s borders. Government officials said things looked normal. Men in the street swapped ru mors with their usual zeal and said it s just like old times. There undoubtedly was a Ultle tension in the air but more among the foreign colony than the lurks. Havadis pointed out the Rus sians usually do not announce ma neuvers in advance, but this time Tass. Ihe official Soviet news agency, took the trouble to do so. "Thus they obviously have some special purpose in such an an nouncement," 'said Havadis, "and one is to apply political pressures. Maneuvers are far from being the question for Ankara to worry about.. Here we have strong nerves." The influential Comhuriyet said Russia would cause World War III by trying to send troops to the Middle Last through Turkey or Iran. The chances of the Kremlin deciding for war are very dim," the newspaper declared. i -1 Enge Challenges Holmes On Termination Bill Views i i 4.1-' ; - a i f i - ? x i i HARD-WORKING TEEN-AGE Dance Committee is shown in a ralaxtd moment while computing plans for tonight's dance at the Old Armory from S to 11:30 p.m. Everyona it invited and there's no charge to gat in.

California Congressman Clair Englc, chairman of the House Committee on Interior and Insu lar Affairs, took issue with Ore gon's Gov. Robert Holmes' recent statement on Klamath Indian termination legislation in a tele gram to the Herald and News Friday morning. In his message. Congressman Engle said, "Deeply rearet that erroneous information concerning the Klamath Indian termination legislation was contained in Gov. Robert Holmes' recent telegram, tho text of which was carried in the Herald and News. Trust that you will give my following re marks as extensive coverage as had been given to Ihe governor's wire. "It Is my opinion that the termination bill recently approved by the House Indian Affairs sub committee provides a sound termination program which will protect both the rights ot ine In dians and the great natural re sources found on the reservation lands. "To contend that the subcom mitlee amendments lo the Senate passed Seaton Bill would adverse ly affect the Indians or the econ omy of the Klamath Basin shows s basic lack of understanding of this legislation. "The subcommittee approved bill substitutes for the sustained yield requirement, the followir language: 'Continuous sifjply tf timber.' In other words, forest units must be managed so as to insure a continuous supply of tim-ber. "I might add that another sub committee amendment deleted the 100 year limitation on this require ment by providing for perpetual adherence to sound forest manage ment practices. would also like to draw your attention to the fact that con tinuous supply of timber' is the terminology which is contained in the statutes which established the Forest Service, and that it is the standard which still governs the lorest operations ol the service. "It should be remembered that this change in language must be considered In conjunction wilh sec Hon 28' B) of the Seaton Bill. That section requires Department oi tne interior approval of any plan ol operation which is sub mitted by a private purchaser. Such a plan, once approved, for any particular area, will govern the future management of such purchased reservation forest unils, "Forest Service and Depart ment of the Interior spokesmen assure me that the subcommittee approved bill is workable as long as the department has the right to accept or reject any plan of operation submitted hy private purchases. Section 2K'B which nftaiai 'e the subcomittee-ap Egypt Chief, hrirshchev Hold Confab BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP)-Re- percussions to American and Brit ish intervention in the Middle East spread grimly around th world Friday. It was disclosed (hat the Soviet Union's Premier Khrushchev had been in conference with President Nasser of the United Arab Repub lic. London diplomats speculated that they talked of a possible move of Soviet troops into Syria counter-measure to U. S. British landings nearby, Syria il Egypt's partner in the U.A.R. Cairo reported that Nasser talked eight hours with Khrush chev Thursday in Moscow. The secret meeting followed Nasser's eight-day meeting with President Tito of Yugoslavia, who like Nas ser is due home Saturday after talks in Syria which could give him the chance to pin down opera tion details. The British and American build up continued, with additional Ma rines pouring into Lebanon Fri day. More British forces were alerted to go into Jordan.' Th prospect was that the two allies would have more than 10,000 troops in the Mideast by the weekend. wilh many more thousands of men lying offshore in the u. S. 6th Fleet and British war vessels. The Soviet Union seemed to be building toward some sort of dra matic action." A crowd of 100,008 demonstrated at the U. S. Embas sy in Moscow, broke windows and pelted the building with ink. It was the second straight day of Moscow demonstrations the sort of thing that is well organized in Moscow and often is part of a cam paign tojnake Russian minds ack nowledge the need of new sacri fices. ' Russian guns were roaring in large-scale maneuvers just across the border from Iran. A reporter at the scene said many types of planes were participating and-the noise of guns left many frontier Iranians sleepless. The United Mattew. mtamvnue. was moving to find soma sort of soiuuon in ine mwev cnsis- with little prospect of a compro mise that would meet success. Some of the United States' usual supporters were lukewarm to American actions. The Marines who came ashore in Lebanon Friday landed four miles north of Beirut. This brought the total of U. S. Marines in Lebanon to about 5,100. About 2.000 U. S. paratroopers are nearby in Turkey and Britain completed the landing of 2,000 paratroopers in Jordan. New war ship arrivals swelled the total of u. s. 6th Fleet units in Lebanese waters to 49. An advance party of U. S. para troopers arrived in Beirut to scout Ihe territory patrolled by the Ma rines before taking over from the Leathernecks.
