Newspaper Page Textcoa? U OF OREGON LIBRAS EUGENE, ORE. In Thr- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS The latest chessboard move: Russia proposes a "treaty of friendship and cooperation" that would bind Eastern and Western Europe and the I'nited Slates "in a non - agression pact." The "treaty" would be discussed at a meeting at Geneva of heads of Hates of five powers. Since it would include heads of slates, it would be a meeting "at the sum mit," which is what' Krushchev has been gunning for for months. Our counter-proposal is a top level gathering, to include heads of slate, to'he held AT THE UNIT ED NATIONS. What lies back of it? Presumably,. Russia is aiming at the break-up of our alliance struc turesincluding NATO, the Bagh dad pact, etc. She'd like to isolate us from our friends, leaving us en our own with all the world against us. Russia has no allies to bother with. She runs the communist world with an iron hand. What of the nnn aggression treaty Russia suggests? Well, the brulal fact is that a non-aggression treaty would be no better than the good faith of the rations entering into it. Russia's word isn't worth much. And Russia runs the communist world. Is there anything good about Russia's new proposal? That is hard to say. It .is hard to say because it is hard to be lieve that anything good i for us could come out of Russia. MAY indicate that Russia Isn't yet ready to start World War III. At any rale When the New York exchange ripened this (Monday) morning, stocks continued their advance in moderately active trading. In times like these, the world's flock exchanges are extremely fensilive barometers, with prices tending to fall on what is regarded as bad news. So much for facts. Now for an opinion: Our first hig job, if we are to come through this crisis wilh cred ft to ourselves, is to cnnvice EV ERYBODY that we have no im perialistic designs in the Middle East or anywhere else in the world. That is the plain trulh. We have no desire ("we" meaning t h e America people) to run the af fairs of the rest of the world. Since it is the trulh. there ought to be ways to make it convincing in the right, places, I hope our diplomacy is directed toward that objective. 1 No. 6I9 Allies May Spurn Khrushchev Offer Price Five Cents 14 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, ORF.C.ON.

Mayer if he could burn down his house. And Mayer wasn't kidding when he said yes. Mayer's house went down in a blaze of glory yesterday and ev eryoneMayer, Fruche, firemen and some 2.000 spectators was pleased as punch. Fruehe, fire chief of suburban Lombard, wanted his men and firemen from other communities to have an exercise in fire fight ing. Mayer agreed because he was planning In have the 10-room, lon-jear-old frame house razed. First a room would be set ablaze and then brought under control. After six rooms had been burned and then soaked, the fire men let the whole thing go. Everyone agreed it was a real nice fire. DOG-GONE! ASHERORO. N C.

As she departed, the fam ily pet. a dog. bit her on the leg. MIDDLE EAST DEVELOPMENTS are clearly pointed out in this explana tory map of the area where American Marines and British Tommies are now assembled. Keyed areas are as follows: ( I I Lebanon, where Ameri can Marines are still pouring ashore and where the U, S. has now assem bled a vast force with "atomic capabilities." (21 Israel, Jewish nation that borders Lebanon on the South and Jordan on the West. 13) Turkey, where U. S. Army paratroopers were assembled at the base of Adana and where American aerial forces are still based. (4) The island of Cyprus from where the British flew their troops into Jordan at the request of King Hussein, also a trouble spot of its own. (5) Egypt, main anchor of the United Arab Republic, and base of the revolutionary movement that overthrew the rule of King Faisal in Iraq. 161 Syria, the other member of the U.A.R. and reportedly communist dominated possesses strategic spot between Lebanon and Iraq, and borders Jordan on the north. (7) Jordan, where British troops have now answered the call for aid by King Hussein. This is classed as the No. I trouble spot, being immediately adjacent to Iraq. Since Jordan's King Hussein was not only allied with but was a cou sin of Iraq's King Faisal, he has been threatening reprisal against Iraq. (8) Iraq, oil-wealthy trouble spot where a lightning revolt killed King Fai sal and swung nation into U.A.R. orbit. It was this revolt that brought American and British troops into the Middle East in 'force. (9) Saudi Arabia,, where America and Bitain both have tremendous oil interests. Key to control of Western Europe could well lie in this country since it controls much of the oil needed by those nations. Ruled by King Saud, Saudi Arabia has made no perceptible move yet in the present crisis be yond barring American planes from flying te Jordan across its territory. (101 Iran, a trouble spot in the past, and Moslem nation that stands be tween Soviet Russia and the Middle East. Russian army maneuvers are currently being held on her northern borders. WASHINGTON (API The White House announced Monday that the I'nited Slates, Britain and France have started draft ing a reply to the Khrushchev pro posal for an emergency summit conference on the Middle East. The I'nited States it was learned, has proposed to Britain and France a draft which would definitely turn down the Soviet Premier's call for an immediate meeting outside the United Na tions and would keep Middle East diplomacy concentrated in the UN Security Council. The U.S. version would counter the sensational Soviet move of last Saturday with a proposal that Khrushchev take to the Security Council his charge that the United States and Britain endangered peace by putting troops into Le banon and Jordan. Britain and France were re ported in agreement with the United States on this general line of approach which would very likely result in a high level Se curity Council meeting of either foreign ministers or chiefs of gov ernment. But there appeared to be some difference, at least of emphasis, between Washington and the two European capitals on how hard to plug the idea of an early summit conference either inside or outside the UN. The Rrilish government, particularly, is under heavy pressure from its Labor Party opposition to get into a summit meeting with the Rus sians. Here are Monday's top develop ments: London Prime Minister Mac- Jordan Moves To Sever Tie With Nasser Committee Okays Klamath Bill Favoring Early Sales WASHINGTON (AP) The House Interior Committee Mon- day approved a hill to authorize sale of Klamath Indian Reserva tion timber to private industry and the government. The bill would authorize sale to private industry of sufficient tim ber to pay to Indians withdrawing from the Oregon tribe when fed eral supervision over its affairs ends their share of tribal assets. Whatever of this amount is not hought by private industry would then be bought by the federal gov ernment for inclusion in the na tional forests.

The bill includes language to permit sale of timber on the fringe areas of the reservation without regard to a provision which would prohibit sale of the principal limber stand prior lo 1959. The committee also voted to authorize sales to begin as of April 1, 1959. instead of July 1, 1959, as originally provides. Both amendments were nlfcred by Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore), the bill's sponsor, in order to meet requesLs of lumber mills in the Klamath Falls, Ore., area which feared the restriction would leave them access to insufficient timber to continue, operations. In addition to these fringe areas, Ullman said, the bill would leave open for possible sales the -estimated 9.1 million hoard feet of limber on portions of the reserva tion which will be retained by In dians maintaining their tribal entity. A similar bill previously passed the Senate. . PEACOCK PROWLERS SANTA BARBARA, Calif.

The airplane pilot radioed the pig s position in the pursuing ground crews. Finally captured. ihe pig was turned over to sher- Hl deputies. Commander Yarns Foe Of Atomic Capabilities BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPD The commander of U.S. forces in Leb anon reminded possible aggressors in the Middle East today lhat his land, sea and air forces have "atomic capabilities." The U.S. commander. Vice Adm. James L. ' Lord Jim ) Hnlloway aimed his statement at no specific nation and he emphasized that all U.S. forces have such capabilities. But his statement look on added significance since it was issued through the U.S. Embassy here at a time of increased saber-rattling in Moscow and as Commu nist and Egyptian-Syrian United Arab Republic radios were build ing increased tensions through a stream ot inflammatory broad casts. The Damascus, Cairo and Bagh dad radios appealed again today to the people of Jordan to assassin ate hing Hussein and overthrow his government. Hussein s government is under the protection of 2.000 British par atroops who streamed by massive airlilt into Amman Thursday to join the U.S. in preserving Middle East peace in the (ace of the re volt in Iraq and serious civil strife in Lebanon. The U.S. completed its buildup of more than 10.000 Marines and airborne infantry in Lebanon to day, while the heaviest firing in two weeks was heard in the di vided city of Beirut. A spokesman for rebel leader Saeb Salam said the fighting was between his men and partisans of the pro-government PPS party. The firing, which included 13 ex plosions thai sounded like artillery, was confined lo the rebel-held Bas ta section near the city's race track. A squad of U.S. Marines was alerted shortly before midnight lo rush to the Brilish Embassy. How ever, nothing materialized. Holloway's statement issued through the embassy said that "all combat forces including ground, sea and air forces have atomic capabilities. " He did not enlarge upon the sub ject except lo note: "Further dis cussion of the subject is a matter of military security. However, it was known that Ihe Marines in Lebanon wore equipped with eight-inch howitzers capable of firing atomic shells. Three U.S. jet planes scattered more than one million leaflets over Lebanon today, telling the people that U.S. forces are here In "help maintain Lebanese inde pendence." The leaflets were printed in Ar abic and bore a picture of Presi dent Eisenhower. The U.S. Embassy reporlpd that Lebanese rebels who have been sniping al U.S. military planes also fired at an Egyptian airliner attempting to land at Beirut Sun day. The slatement denied a Unit ed Arab Republic statement that U.S. Marines fired on the plane. Marines and Lebanese forces were woaking together at Beirut Airport to prevent any further sniping. Meanwhile, Iraq's revolutionary regime was going all out lo win swilt diplomatic recognition from the West. The new government pledged safety of western nil installations and promised friendship wilh west ern governments. Chimps Stinkin' From Drinkin Potent Perfume OCEAN PARK. Calif. 'APi - Two chimpanzees. Roh Roy and Tonga, escaped from their cages al Ihe new Pacific Ocean Park pier yeslerday and downed a gal lon of My Sin perlumc worth 2..W0. The perfume fi5 per cent al cohol was on hand lo scent the waters of Neptune's Fountain at the entrance to the pier. The two male chimps couldn t be found but their owner wasn't too worried. "They're around somewhere sleeping it off," he said. BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP) .lor dan widened the breach with Pres ident Nasser today, breaking dip lomatic relations with his United Arab Republic. King Hussein's desert state got 12' million dollars in cash while more U.S. troops poured Into neighboring Lebanon. The American aid to Jordan so far did pot include troops. It came as oil-rich Kuwait and Saudi Ara hia stood on the edge of the Middle East whirlpool and Nasser con tinued working to consolidate his gains. . The U.A.R. chief returned lo Cairn today after a buslling three- week round of diplomatic talks that look him In Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union and Syria. Some 1.400 more American troops landed in Beirut, bringing Ihe lotal in Lebanon to about 9,400. The new arrivals brought in the first heavy artillery as well as cooks, supply and maintenance men that indicated the United Slates might be getting ready for a long slay. , The troops were troubled by mi nor harassment but there were no casualties. Pro-Nasser rebel snip ers look potshots at U.S. Marines guarding strategic spots in Beirut and the Marines fired back. The rebels also aimed small arms fire at planes. A soda bottle filled with gasoline and rigged with a timing device was left with one Marine unit and exploded, but no one was hurt. "Our biggest problem at Ihe mo ment is keeping out Lebanese kids who want to steal the troops soft drinks." said an Army spokesman. Robert Murphy, U.S. deputy undersecretary of state sent by President Eisenhower to help work out a political solution to the Lebanese crisis, called on Paul Meouchi, pro-rebel patriarch of the Marnnite Christian Church. millan told the House of Com mons that the United States and its allies are urgently considering the best means by which to ar range for a meeting which heads of government could attend. It was evident that Macmillan used deliberately cloudy language. The reason is that the Big Three had not decided precisely what line they would take about an eventual summit session. PARIS Premier Charles de Gaulle issued a statement saying he welcomed the Soviet offers of a summit conference but felt Khrushchev's undiplomatic tone in making the offer was an ob stacle. Information Minister Jac ques Soustelle said such talks must be held in an atmosphere of objectivity and serenity and the tone used by Khrushchev stood in Ihe way of that. WASHINGTON White House press secretary James C. Hagerty said consultations among the Al lies have started and a U.S. draft reply is in the hands of the other major powers. Until these consul tations end, Hagerty said, he would have nothing to say about a summit meeting. He said he did not expect the U.S. answer could be sent to Moscow Monday. Diplomats here said it was ev ident that war fears generated by the U. S. and British troop landings in the Middle East had created a receptive attitude for the shrewdly conceived summit proposal which Khrushchev made. The Soviet premier asked for a five-power meeting, including In dia, in Geneva on Tuesday to re solve the .crisis and save , world peace. Administrative leaders took the view that il was essentially a propaganda maneuver such an early meeting being out of t h e question but they ruefully ad mitted that it was a maneuver of such force and imagination as Washington has not been able to produce during this crisis. So far the West has been losing the pub lic opinion battle in much of the world. Khrushchev appeared lo be vul nerable to counter attack on only one point. He proposed to bypass the United Nations. Secretary of State Dulles and British Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd agreed they would use the U.N. approach for a counter-proposal and suggest the possibility of a high level meeting of the security Council. The U.S. Draft. Hagerly said, was sent to the ether nations Mon day night through their ambassadors. Moscow Lists Treaty Plan MOSCOW (AP)-The Soviet Un- ion today made public its latest proposals for a nonaggression treaty between the North Atlantic Alliance and the Soviet bloc i Warsaw Pact group. Basically there was little new. The recommendations included reduction of foreign troops in Ger many, a nuclear-free zone in cen tral Europe and aerial surveys in central Europe to prevent sur prise attacks. The new version of the proposals was contained in notes delivered to the big-power Western ambassadors in Moscow last Tuesday. The Soviets proposed all foreign troops in Germany be cut one third, or "another agreed frac tion." The nuclear-free zone would cover "Ihe immediate vicinity ot a line dividing Ihe military group ings in Europe." Keeping out atomic weapons would depend only on the promises of those who signed the treaty. h V; T .r ;.. . il It; LAWSON FORE BARNEY WILLIS SHERMAN SULLIN Ross Dollarhide Headlines Champion Entrants In Klamath Basin Roundup Former world's champion sleer wrestlers Ross Dollarhide, Grants Pass, and Harley May, Oakdale.
