In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
The status as of today of the
International chess game: .
IT'S RUSSIA'S MOVE.
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.

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

Rain reigned like a soggy mon

It seemed as if it was umbrella

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

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.

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. - ' ' ,

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.

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

the only statement presented by
this board.
"The hookup charge, which is
Ihe cost of running the line from

as Son if paid by August 1, 1958,
and $90 if paid (hereafter.
The monthly service charge for

continued, is J3.25 per monlh

preliminary survey, the district en
gineers roughly estimated the cost
of running the line from the own

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

trench, installing (he pipe and oth

The directors indicated that-they

pressed that the costs of hooking

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

might find it difficult to reject
the U.N. summit idea in view of

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. The Soviet Union is a
strong supporter of Communist
