Russia has made it plain she doesn't like what we've done in the Middle East. So Our Ike says to Russia's Krush chev If you don't like what we've done, come before the United Na tionswhich is the world forum ereated for just such purposes and tell the world WHY you don't like what we've done and what you think SHOULD BE DONE. Ike adds: We'll be there to listen. To any fair-minded person, that sounds like a reasonable and fair- minded proposal. In his letter to Krushchev, Ike (aid something else. He put it this way: "The United Stales is NOT ded icated to a perpetuation of the status quo ("sta.us quo" is diplo matic language tor keeping every thing as is i in (he ARAB WORLD "The U.S. recognizes and SYM PATHIZES with the yearning of the Arab peoples for a greater nationalistic unity. In that statement. Ike was talk ing over Krushchev's head to the PEOPLE OF THE ARAB WORLD, who are giving striking evidence of their desire land, perhaps. DE TERMINATION!, to RUN THEIR OWN AFFAIRS in that part of the world which for more centuries than the historians are able to enumerate exactly they have re garded as THEIRS. He is saying to them that the United States of America, which in its immortal Declaration of In dependence threw off the yoke of colonial imperialism, understands and SYMPATHIZES WITH the de sire of the Arab peoples to do likewise. That is a far-reaching state ment. It could have far-reaching re sults. It could mean that the United States of America is finally com ing around to the point of declar ing that its sympathies lie with the natural aspiration of peoples all over the world to RUN THEIR OWN AFFAIRS, free from imperi alistic domination. Reds May Put Strings On Meet Acceptance Price Five Cents 20 Pages KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 11158 Telephone TU 4-8111 Analyst Hits State's High Income Taxes SALEM (API Oregon's income tax probably is among the five highest in the country, and hits lower income groups harder than any other state, Dr. John F. Sly, Princeton University analyst, re ported Wednesday. Dr. Sly, hired to make a survey of Oregon's taxes for the state department of planning and devel opment, issued a preliminary re port covering the state s economy. He said that 45 per cent of the total state and local taxes in Ore gon are property taxes while 31 per cent of the revenue comes from income taxes. , The state's economic problems he continued, come from high transportation costs, lack of local marketing areas, seasonal em ployment, and strong dependence upon natural resources. these tactors, he wrote, are important in the tax picture. Con tinued growth means more taxes. since taxes tend to increase at a higher ratio than population, Ore gon is known as a high level service state. As' long as this is so, it, will be a 'high level tax state." Dr. Sly reported that diversity in industry is slow but is increas ing. Twenty-two per cent of the state's income comes from farms, food products and the forests, while 19 per cent comes from trade. Government is third with 16 per cent of the income. Gov. Robert D. Holmes said the report "lays the groundwork for a full understanding of taxation in Oregon. Rain Reigns Ovr Nation By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rain reigned like a soggy mon arch in the weather world today. It seemed as if it was umbrella time everywhere in the nation. but there were exceptions. West of the Rockies it was mostly fair and warm. And, of course, the Southwest desert region was dry as usual. But there was a U-shaped and thunderstorm area in the eastern half of the country. Heaviest rain last night fell in an already clobbered area which extended from western Kansas through western Oklahoma and in to extreme northwest Texas. Some of the storms had hail and high winds, and there was a tornado shout 15 miles northwest of Lub bock, Tex. However, storm dam age was considered minor.

Ike Urged To Keep Liaison WASHINGTON (API Sen. William F. KnDwland (R-Calif) told the Senate Wednesday t h e West must not permit Russia to choose who shall sit in any United Nations summit conference.

'No person sitting in the Krem lin or anywhere else should be permitted to pick and choose be tween members, Knowland said. "No one member can he allowed to exercise a veto on any member of the Security Council sending the head of its government to the meeting.

IR Normal for period 12.57 Recession Slump Seems Arrested, Says Washington WASHINGTON (AP)-The Com merce Department says the re cession slump in sales of autos, appliances and other consumer durables seems to have been sub stantially arrested. This appraisal came on the heels of a report by President Ei senhower's economic advisers that the national economy tilted up ward in the April-June period for the first tune in nearly a year. The economists reported, how ever, that consumer purchases of durables continued to slump dur ing the Ihree-monlh period. Looking at just the June figures the Commerce Department said: "The decline in outlays (or con sumer durables, which constituted the major area of recent weak ness in consumers buying, ap peared to have been substantially arrested." Adams Probe Containg WASHINGTON (API Four more persons were summoned to day to tell a House Armed Serv ices subcommittee what they know about a government penalty scltlement with a New England textile lirm. The subcommittee wants to find out whether Sherman Adams, President Eisenhower's top aide, exerted any pressure in behalf of Raylaine Worsted, Inc., of M Chester, N. H. That firm last year received a rebate of $41,284 from a 16-year-old penalty payment. Roswell M. Austin, retired chairman of the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, has said he thinks Adams intervened improperly in the case. I his is denied by the White House and former officials of Rav laine, which is now defunct. The White House said Adams only re layed routine queries. Col. Joseph A. Avery, a mem ber of the appeals board at pres ent, was the only wilness heard in the first two days of closed door sessions. Naval Leader Foresees No Lebanon Spat BEIRUT (AP) - Adm. James L. Hollowiy said Wednesday "I really think we can get out of Lebanon without any fighting. He .idded he doubts that World War 111 will start here. The over-all commander of American forces in Lebanon re corded these statements for radio and television. He appeared along with U.S. Ambassador Robert Mc Clintock. Both expressed optimism over the outlook, not only in Lebanon, but in respect to repercussions elsewhere to the arrival of Ameri can forces in this tiny Middle East nation. Holloway and McClintock were asked their opinions on the possi bility that the Lebanese situation might touch off a third world war. The ambassador replied: "From my own political experience, 1 ivould say the danger of a third ivorld war is very much reduced. Holloway concurred. Holloway also said he sees no indications of the Russians becom ing involved in the Lebanese prob lem. Asked whether he felt simi larly about the United Arab Re public, he replied that "it would not appear that President Nasser will mount and launch a formal intervention in Lebanon." Reporters asked both men about the possibility that American forces might be used to assist Jordan's King Hussein. Holloway did not reply directly but said: 'The U.S. Marines and Army have the capacity for quick shifts and movements. In a formal statement, McClin tock said: "We are here to help, end not to take over." Both emphasized that the United States wants to withdraw its forces from Lebanon "at the ear liest possible moment coincident with the United Nations position. Meanwhile. Speaker Ahdel Os- seiran postponed Parliament's election of a new president for one week. This apparently was to gain lime in the search for a candidate acceptable In both the govern ment and rebels. Osseiran told the Associated Press he is- calling a session of Parliament July 31 to elect a presidenl. On the first ballot a two-thirds majority is needed to elect a president but on subsequent bal lets only a simple majority is needed. If agreement is reached between the rebels and loyalists on a presi dent, Lebanon's 75-day-old crisis may soon end. If agreement is not reached, the cleavage between the two groups is likely to deepen into civil war. - ' ' , By WILLIAM N. OATIS UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The next step in the Middle East crisis depends on whether Nikita Khrushchev accepts the challenge to a summit meeting in the U.N. Security Council. Khrushchev presumably was making up his mind Wednesday whether to insist on his own plan lor a five-power summit meeting apart Irom the U.N., or agree to the suggestions of President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Macmillan for the high- level meeting here. Moscow dispatches said many diplomats there believed the So viet leader would accept the Eis enhower - Macmillan suggestion though he might not like the setup. But an article in Izvcstia, the Soviet Government newspaper, which apparently was written be- rare the Eisenhower - Macmillan proposals were known officially, threw ice water on the U.N. sum mil idea. The olficial Tass news agency distributed this report of the Iz vcstia article: "Judging by American press re ports the United States rulers are seeking a suitable way to avoid it i Khrushchev s proposal for a live-power meeting!. "Dealing with the report on the plans to call a top-level meeting of the Security Council, the ar ticle inquires what simpletons do Directors Hit Sewer Costs In Local Ad Senator Criticizes House Amendments On Indian BUI HAROLD R.

Richard Neuhcrger today; in a letter to the Herald and News, summarized the prog ress and chances for approval of Senate Bill 3051. a proposal for the purchase of the Klamath In dian Reservation. In his letter. Senator Neuber ger said, "It now appears likely that the House will pass the bill. but substantially changed from the form in which we adopted it in the Senate.

Directors of the South Suburban Sanitary District reported to the Herald and Nes today that it had come to'their attention that a loan company in Klamath Falls has recently mailed advertising let ters to residents of the district that are, in their opinion, complete ly misleading. The directors In their statement disavowed that they have mad any announcements of the type con tained in this advertising letter. in contrast to the erroneous figures and information given in tne letter, they said, the fol lowing is presented as being true intormation concerning sewer hook up and installation costs, and is the only statement presented by this board. "The hookup charge, which is Ihe cost of running the line from Hie lateral to'the owner's property line was established by ordinance as Son if paid by August 1, 1958, and $90 if paid (hereafter. The monthly service charge for a residence hookup," Ihe statement continued, is J3.25 per monlh from the time of hookup. In the preliminary survey, the district en gineers roughly estimated the cost of running the line from the own er's house to his property line would probably be in the neigh borhood of $1.75 per foot. This would vary somewhat according to Ihe type of pipe used, the length and depth of Ihe line, and the amount of work done by the own er himself such as digging the trench, installing (he pipe and oth er work." The directors indicated that-they wanted to allay any fears that residents of the area have ex pressed that the costs of hooking up would prove uubslantially high er than these estimates. the American politicans think they are dealing with? 'It is common knowledge that the United Stales wields a me chanical majority in the Security council. Does the United States really think that someone will agree to discuss cardinal interna tional problems with Chiang Kai shek (of Nationalist China) who holds a place in the Security Coun cil thanks to nis American patrons?" The article said the West was taking an "irresponsible gamble, disregarding the fact that delay in Ihe settlement of the armed conflict in the Middle East may bring a terrible catastrophe." Western observers in Moscow said Khrushchev and his aides probably would do some deep soul searching before making a deci sion, iney oelieved Khrushchev might find it difficult to reject the U.N. summit idea in view of his original offer to go anywhere ior a meeting. The Soviet leader's fondness for setting precedents might also af 'ect his decision, it was said in Moscow. The Security Council adiourned indefinitely Tuesday night after a second Soviet veto in four days Dtocked resolutions aimed at set- ing up conditions for American troop withdrawal from Lebanon. The adjournamcnt was taken to await the outcome of negotiations for a summit meeting, and the implemcnation of Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold s plan to reinforce the U.N. observer corps in Lebanon. Hammarskjold indicated he would ask U.N. members for more men to build up the observer group so they might make it pos sible for the United States to with draw its 10,000 troops from Lebanon. 'I shall use all opportunities of fered to the secretary general . . . to help," and develop the group "so as to give it all the signifi cance it can have," he told the Council. "You will forgive me for not being able lo spell out, at this moment, what it may mean be yond that."

Russia Voices Criticism Of Summit Rules WASHINGTON (AP) t Moscu, objected sharply today trr Western suggestions for a U.N. summit meeting to discuss the middle East crisis, but stopped short of saying Premier Khrushchev would" not accept. The suggestions were made in varying forms yesterday in the Western powers' individual re plies to Khrushchev's own sugges tion for a five-power summit meeting outside the United Nations. The Initial Moscow reaction came in a commentary by the government newspaper Izvestia, which said that "everyone knows the U.S.A. can rely on a mechani cal majority in the Security Coun cil." The commentary broadcast by Moscow radio also accused this country of trying to prevent the five-power conleience Khrushchev proposed. But it did not rule out Soviet acceptance of the Western proposal. In advance of that. U.S. officials said they expected Khrushchev to accept, but to attach conditions which the United States and its allies may find unacceptable. The Izvestia commentary men tioned one that they had antici pated the possible participation in such a meeting of President Chiang Kai-shek of Nationalist China.
