la The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS The big news as this is written: No BOMBS have been dropped yet. Don't pay too much attention to scattering rifle fire. There are many rifle in the Middle East and a lot of nervous trigger fin gers. In the U.N, the expected hap pens. Russia vetoes the United Slates resolution to send an international police force into Lebanon under the United Nations flag. If that had been done, U.S. troops would have been withdrawn. That happened in what is known as the Security Council. The Unit, ed States moved immediately to call the U.N. General Assembly into session to consider the plan to send in an international police force to handle the situation. The General Assembly is a step above the Security Council. It COULD override the Russian veto. A word of advice: Don't expect too much in the . way of constructive and decisive action from United Nations. It's a rather weak reed to lean on unfortunately. I suppose you've noted the anti American "demonstration" in Mos cow. An "angry" mob' of Russians gathers in front of the American embassy and screams "GET OUT OF LEBANON" and throws stones and ink bottles. Russian troops are called and quiet the mob of some 20,000 persons alter all the windows in the firstthree stories of our embassy building were smashed. . Don't pay too much attention to that as a sign of American un popularity. It's a part of the com munist war of nerves. It wasn't spontaneous. It was PUMPED UP for a purpose. The commu nist authorities passed the word to their stooges to go and do it, so they went and did it. Dedicated communists are dis ciplined and obedient. Therein lies a lot of communist Russia's pow er to do mischief in the world. V What is it all ahout? T It's a tangled mess. But here are the fundamentals: Russia's purpose is to conquer the world for communism. . Our purpose is to PREVENT the enmmunization of the world. We want to live in a FREE world. I We'll fight, it we have to, to keep a free world to live in. --There are minor complications Krushchev is a big Caesar. He wants tn STAY big. Tito and Nasser are little Cae ars. They want tn get bigger. If ft will serve their purpose, they will throw in with Krushchev. Or. if they think it will serve their purpose better, they will throw in ' with us. Our NATO allies want !: reruain free but with the possible excep tion of Britain they would like ' for us to do the bulk of the fight ing to keep them free. m That's about the size of it. professor Kills ;Self, Daughters "Z' BYRON.

And. a la Richard Diamond, he was justly caught by means of a two-hour police stake-out and a chase which involved climbing a steep rocky cliff. Marked money was also a factor. The "Case of the Kidnaped Brief Case" began when Harold Brown, a Stockton. California. salesman staying overnight at a local motel, puffed into the county jail at 12:45 p.m. He handed Sheriff J. M. iHedi Brittnn a crudely written, but nev ertheless crystal clear note which Brown had found on the front seat of his car, parked unlocked at the motel. , It said, in substance: "If you want your brief case back, leave $20 on top of the towel machine in the rest room of the Shell Sta tion at Second and Main. Come back there at 3 o'clock, and if Woman Holds Key To Probe WASHINGTON 'API A woman mystery witness has been placed under federal protective wraps un til she can testify before Senate investigators about Detroit labor racketeers. Chairman John L. McClcllan 'D-Arkl of the Senate Rackets committee, disclosing this Satur day night, said the woman will testify at hearings starting here Wednesday on alleged linkups be tween the Teamsters Union and Detroit hoodlums. McClellan re fused tj give any clue to her iden tity. Committee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy said the woman had been spirited out of Detroit in the protective custody of a lederal po lice agency because of telephone calls threatening her with harm if she .testified. "The information she will testi fy to." Kennedy said, "will reflect adversely on the Teamsters Un ion and on a company that has connections with the underworld." The committee, in a running feud with Teamsters Union Pres ident James R. Hnffa, has repeat edly accused Holta of conniving with New York and Detroit labor racketeers to holster his union power. Ho((a has denied the charges. KLAMATH 41 ? ll you have left the money, you will find instructions on where your brief case is." Brown said he valued the case at some $100 and wanted it back badly. He had left it on the front scat of the car. The sheriff swung into action. First, two $10 bills, each marked with a "B" for Britton, were placed in the appointed spot. Then, rounaing up Deputy Del Summers, the sheriff sped tn a well-hidden spot near the gas sta tion in his new "Ranger" squad car. The lawmen, getting into the spirit of the thing, took off their easily-recognizable 10-gallon hats as well as their stars. They set tled down to wait with eyes peeled on the rest room. It wasn't long before a patron went in and came out. As the sheriff watched him leave. Sum mers strolled casually into the rest room. The two tens were still there. This procedure went on for about two hours and nine rest room patt ins. While Summers was in the room determining the last patron hadn't taken the money, in came the 13-year-old.. According tn Summers, he "act ed suspicious." When the deputy asked him what he was doing in there, the boy said nothing. men he dashed out and ran straight up the sheer rock cliff at the gas station rear, Summers was right after him. Sheriff Brittnn, high-heeled cow hoy boots notwithstanding, leaped out of the car and joined the pur suit over the cliff. A block away on Pine Street, Summers caught up with the cul prit and he was returned to the car for questioning. Vtheres that brief case? asked the sheriff. The youthful suspect at first pro fessed not to know what the sher iff was talking about but after awhiie he finally pointed a finger to a tree ahout 15 feet away from the sheriff's automobile. "Over there," he said. And sure enough it was, hidden in the tree's low foliage. The would-be extortionist was handed over to juvenile authori ties to answer for his back-fired extortion plot. He never did get the marked money. America Calls For Russian Cooperation In Working Out United Nations Solution WASHINGTON (API The I'nited States told Russia Satur day night it would consider promptly Premier Khrushchev's proposal for an immediate sum mit conference on the Middle East crisis, but it called lor Soviet co operation in working out a United Nations solution. The U.S. reaction was set forth in a mildly worded statement is sued at the State Department aft er Secretary Dulles had conferred with President Eisenhower, who is at Gettysburg, by telephone. He also had gone into conference with Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd at the British Embassy. Dulles and Lloyd have agreed in three days of urgent strategy talks here lo try to block any reckless action in the Middle East by jittery and angry allies such as furkey. Both Dulles and Lloyd were represented as being deter' mined to pursue a diplomatic strategy of calming down the situation on all sides although theyi expect Russia and the I'nited Arab Republic to wage a war of nerves against the West as a re sult of the troop movements into Lehanon and Jordan.

AP An Atlas intercontinental missile fully powered for the first time with three mighty engines ex ploded high in Ihe sky Saturday with a roar that shook the Florida coast. The three engines, generating more than 350.000 pounds of thrust, propelled the mighty war weapon off its launching pad at 12 .1H p.m. Forty-five seconds laler, it blew apart with a brilliant flash of orange flame.

The Mideast flareup found Brit ain s economy and its armed forces strained to the limit and perhaps beyond it. Defense cuts were being made to pare the Brit ish army from 650,000 men to a bare 375.000 by 19B2. And the cuts are continuing. As a result during the past month Britain virtually exhausted her available armed forces man power reserves.

Nikita Asks To Attend Geneva Parley MOSCOW lAP'-Soviet Premier) Khrushchev Saturday night pro- posed a five-power summit con- ference by next Tuesday on the Mideast crisis. Among those he invited tn meet n Geneva or any convenient place are President Elsenhower and U. N. chief Dag Hammarskjold. Khrushchev asked that the five powers act with utmost urcencv to head o(f a spread of war which he said already has started in the Mideast. He made the proposal io practi cally identical letters to President Eisenhower, Britain's Prime Min ister Macmillan, Premier de Gaulle nf France and Prime Min ister Nehru of India and suggest ed participation of the U. N. sec retary general. The letters were delivered to Ihe ambassadors of the four countries. They were unceremoniously sum moned lo the Soviet Foreign Min istry in Moscow at 10 p.m. i The v ambassadors were sum moned so hurriedly that one. Brit ain's Sir Patrick Rcilly, appeared a dinner jacket. Some others were without neckties. "The decision of peace or war." Khrushchev said in his letters to Eisenhower and Macmillan, "de pends on you personally." Confab Meets Cool UN Reception UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (API Soviet Premier Khrushchev's surprise bid for a quick summit conference on the Middle East met with a cool reception here Saturday. U. N. diplomatic sources avail able for comment were inclined tn regard it as a propaganda move. U. N. officials said Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold had not received any formal invitation and would not comment. While the chiefs of state were specifically invited by Khrushchev, he only suggested that Hammarskjold at tend. The Soviet announcement came, as U. N. diplomats engaged in busy behind-scenes efforts to work out a compromise Security Coun cil resolution that would make a way for the United States to with draw its forces from Lebanon. Japan was playing a leading role in the efforts. A member of , ,J vi' u . B "UV1S in inn rvni um;nrv aiuuiuiii.'eiiiriii. said a sincere effort on Ihe part of Ihe big powers lo settle Middle fcas( tensions would be welcome. But he offered a personal opin ion that Khrushchev's proposal smacked more of propaganda than sincere ellnrt at agreement. Japan is attempting tn draft a resolution for the ll-nalinn Secur ity Council providing both for a heefing-up nf the U. N. observer group in Lehanon and withdrawal of the U.S. forces. Chief Tells U.S. Motives GETTYSBURG. Pa. (AP) President Eisenhower told U.S. forces in Lebanon Saturday that they are on a mission of peace and that the United Slates has no hostile intent toward any people anywhere. "You are nelping the Lebanese people to remain free." Eisenhow er said in a fnur-minule recorded radio message to the American lorces. You are there at their invita tionas friends to preserve for hem the same freedoms that we have here at home." The President recorded the mes sage at the White House shortly before flying by helicopter lo his Gettysburg country eslale for an overnight respite from Washington tensions nf the Middle Kast crisis. --' - v - Tffiflf, - .jifir - - For Ike.Daa He charged that the Western Powers had brought the world to the brink of miaslrnnho in in Mideast. "The aggressors." he said, an- parently referring to the British and American forces landed in Lebanon and Jordan, are playing with fire. Fire is always easier to start than to quench." Khrushchev said he is ready t meet "any day and any time, the sooner the better." "The Soviet government Is ready to meet, at any place, in cluding Washington if for any rea son Geneva or the capital of some other neutral country should not suit the Western Powers," Khru shchev said. Khrushchev warned the Western Powers that the Soviet Union pos- sesses ballistics rockets of all varieties, including intercontinen tal." 'We know." he said, "that the I'nited States has atomic and hy drogen bombs, that you have an air lorce and a navy. "But you will know that the So viet Union also has atomic and hydrogen bombs, an air force and a navy plus ballistics rockets ot all varieties, including interconti nental. "However," he said, "we consid er that at this responsible hour it would be wiser not to bring the white hot atmosphere to a boil ing point it is already sufficiently, saturated with inflammatory ma terial." Khrushchev's reference to ballis tic rockets was the only direct threat in his letters. WASHINGTON (AP) Th United States Saturday night promised prompt consideration of Soviet Premier Khrushchev's pro posal tor a summit conference on the Middle F.ast crisis. At the same time the United States called on the Soviet Union to "cooperate with other members of the U.N. Security Council to assure the independence and in tegrity of Lebanon." The statement of U.S. reaction was issued by the State Depart ment after Secretary of State Dul les had conferred by telephone, with President Eisenhower, who is at Gettysburg. Pa. Dulles had also had time to dis cuss the Khrushchev maneuver with British Foreign Secretary Sel wyn Lloyd whom he met at the British Embassy. . the United States did not re ject the idea of a summit meeting openly and officially. Privately o thorities here considered that thm! Livcn it in Mos(.ow ie(t 0 doubJt' wording and the instant publicity,. Hurt it was another move in Ru. sta a massive campaign to con vince the world that the Western Powers are risking an outbreak of war in the Middle East and doing so by illegal aggressive action. The U.S. statement did reject flally the charge in Khrushchev's note that the United States and Britain were guilty of aggression in sending troops into Lebanon and Jordan, respectively. It said I hat a freely elected government had asked for help and that was the reason the troops were there. The real "issue before th world." the statement said, is whether "two small nations can maintain their independence as against the indirect aggression to which they are being subjected." This issue would have been suc cessfully mot Friday at the United Nations the statement said, had a solution not been "vetoed by the sole negative vote of the Soviet Union in the Security Council." The United States had sought cre ation of the United Nations force to take over responsibility for Lebanese security. "The Security Council is meet ing further lo deal with the prob lem on Monday," the United States said. "We hope that the Soviet Union will then cooperate with the other mombrrs of the Security Council In assure the independ ence and integrity of Lebanon. "This would make possible th4 early withdrawal of United States forces from Lehanon which are there merely to preserve Leban on's independence until there can be adequate United Nations ac tion." iifi'iii wirMnNtMii Vii' l-v--rnl I
