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.

Highly Pleased
As House Burns
CHICAGO 'API Charles C.
Fruehe wasn't joking when he
asked Selh C. 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.

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:

WASHINGTON (AP) The

The bill would authorize sale to
private industry of sufficient tim

Whatever of this amount is not

federal purchase.
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.

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.

"They're around somewhere

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.
