By FRANK JENKINS
In Arkansas yesterday Governor
Orval Faubus who called out the
Arkansas National Guard to defy
a federal court order to admit
colored pupils to Little Rock's
Central High School and thus led
to the sending of federal troops
to Little Rock was overwhelming
ly renominated to a precedent
breaking third term.
The election amounted to a ref
erendum on Faubus' action in call
ing out the state troops. It result
ed in a resounding expression of
approval by the people of Arkan
saswhere a Democratic nomina
tion is equivalent to election.
Of the election, Harry Ashmore,
editor of the Arkansas Gazette and
a bitter opponent of Faubus since
the integration dispute, says this
morning: "Faubus' re-election will
cut the ground from under South
ern moderates and will stiffen in
tegration resistance through
out Dixie."
That is probably true.
The moral if any?
I think this is it:
You can't fix up ancient prej
udices OVERNIGHT by passing a
law or handing down a court de
cision. Things like that take time.
LOTS of time. In such cases, a
good rule is to make haste slowly.
We'd better keep that fact in
mind in our tinkering with the
Middle East.
If we are wise, we will remem
ber that for CENTURIES hatreds
have been smoldering there.
If we act too precipitately,
these smoldering hatreds may
break into the ilames of WAR.
That would be tragic.
More tragic than Little Rock.
Getting closer home
The Seaton bill that seeks a
more orderly termination of
government control of the
Klamath Indian reservation has
passed both houses of congress.
The house version of it differs
from the senate version. The sen
ate bill provides that sustained
yield management must be ob
served by any purchaser of res
ervation timber lands for 100 years.
The language of the house bill
stipulates that the purchaser must
"agree to manage the forest lands
as lar as practicable so. as to fur
nish a continuous supply of tim
ber.
The two bills must now go to
a joint conference committee com
posed of members of both houses
of the congress. The job of this
committee is to reconcile the dif
ferences between the two bills.
If and when this is accomplished
the compromise hill must then go
back to both house and senate.
It must be accepted by both
houses and signed by the Pres
ident before it becomes law.
It can be assumed that if the
conferees reach an agreement the
bill will receive approval in both
house and senate. It is a reason
able assumption that it will then
be signed by the president.
The important point is that the
bill didn t gel caugnt in tne ad
journment jam that so often de
velops in the final days of a ses
aion of the congress.
In that event, it would have
died, and the reservation tim
ber would have had to be dis
posed of under the provisions of
Public Law 587 which, by throw
ing a huce volume of timber on
the market, under unfavorable
market conditions, could have re
sulted in heavy losses to the In
dian owners of the timber.

Hike In Foreign Aid Seen
Because Of Mideast Crisis
WASHINGTON (AP)'-The "Mid-1
die East crisis appeared likely to
day to give President Eisenhower
at least part of the increase in
foreign aid funds he wants, as
well as make for a boost in de
fense spending he opposes.
The Senate starts debate today
on a 40-million-dollar defense ap
propriation bill, more than a bil
lion above Eisenhower's requests.
A foreign aid money bill is still
before its Appropriations Lommit
tee. Sen. J. William Fulbright D
Ark1. a senior member of the Sen
ale Foreign Relations Committee,
predicted most Senate Democrats
will vote to raise emergency for
eign funds.
But he said in an interview Sen
ate action is likely to fall substan
tially short of the half-billion-dollar
increase Eisenhower asked
over the amount voted by the
House.
Sen. George Aiken iR-Vt) said
that unless the Senate Appropria
tions Committee restores at least
three fourths of the 597 millions
cut by the House, there will be
a floor fight for further increases.

Debt Ceiling
Hike Okayed
By Committee
WASHINGTON (API - A rise
in the government's debt ceiling
to 285 billion dollars with tem
porary permission to go to 288
billion was approved Wednesday
by the House Ways and Means
Committee.
The committee acted after Sec
retary of the Treasury Anderson
told it a 12-billion-dollar deficit is
in prospect for the current fiscal
year. The only dissent on the vote
came from Rep. Noah Mason (R
111). .
The bill probably will come ud
in the House Monday.
Government fiscal officers have
been talking heretofore of a deficit
of 8 to 10 billion dollars for the
fiscal year ending next June 30.
Anderson not only boosted the
forecast to 12 billions, he hinted
it might be even greater, depend
ing on the course of federal
revenues.
The secretary said the $2,800,
000,000 deficit for the fiscal year
just ended was incurred because
of a $3,300,000,000 drop in tax
revenues.
In the current fiscal year, he
continued, he anticipates a further
two-billion-dollar drop in revenues
and a rising level of expenditures
to a total of around 79 billion
dollars.
An increase in the debt limit
is "the only sound course at the
present time," Anderson said, add
ing that wen the new ceiling may
present problems to the treasury
before the end of the fiscal year.
The proposed new ceiling would
be higher than any except t h e
300 billion dollar statutory limit
authorized in 1945 in the closing
days of World War II.
Aid Bills Set
For Hearing
WASHINGTON (AP) - Quick
action was expected today to line
up labor and education aid bills
for House floor action next Mon
day. The House Rules Committee,
which clears bills for House vot
ing, scheduled both for hearing.
The education measure would
authorize a $1,070,000,000 program
of federal aid to education to help
develop young American brain
power, particularly in science, to
meet the Soviet challenge.
The labor bill would require ad
ministrators of employe pension
and welfare funds to make annual
financial reports available to
members of the plan and to fur
nish copies to the secretary of
labor.
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex)
has said the House should vote
on both measures before Con
gress adjourns.
The education bill contains
many of the recommendations of
President Eisenhower, but pro
vides for 23.000 scholarships a
year, more than twice the 10.000
proposed by .the administration.
The total cost of the scholarships
is estimated at 280 million dollars.
The Senate Labor Committee
meets today in closed session to
consider a companion education
bill.

Army Claims
All Quiet On
Isle Of Haiti
PORT AU PRINCE. Haiti (AP)
The army claimed everything
was quiet again in Haiti today.
At least 14 dead were counted
after a pocket-sized coup attempt
that wilted under gunfire from
troops and civilian partisans loyal
to President Francois Duvalier.
Some of the Duvalier partisans
paraded jubilantly through the
streets after the battle yesterday,
wearing blood-stained shirts and
firing their guns in the air. But
most people kept off the streets
to avoid trouble.
The U.S. Embassy warned
Americans to stay indoors and the
army ordered a 6 p.m.-to-6 a.m.
curfew. The Port au Prince air
port was closed throughout yester
day, stranding . nearly 400 U.S.
tourists. . i 1
All news dispatches leaving Haiti
were censored.
The army said that a party of
men landed from a 'Miami, Fla.,
launch and tried to overthrow Du
valier. Seven attackers were
killed.
The dead plotters, according to
the army, included one known
American, former Deputy Sheriff
Arthur Payne of Miami: another
man, an American; two Span
ish-speaking "foreigners ; and
three exiled Haitian army cap
tains who supported former Pres
ident Paul Magloire. '
Magloire, in New York, denied
any connection with the plot.
rredenc Duvigneaud, interior
minister of this Caribbean Negro
republic, spoke to newsmen with
a pistol stuck in his belt. He gave
this account of the attempted
coup:
The rebel launch landed 45 miles
northwest of the Haitian capital
near the town of St. Marc late
Monday night.
Army commanders were alerted
and a commando unit was rushed
to the scene. The plotlers fled,
leaving the launch and a cargo
of weapons and ammunition to
the troops.
Rocket Shots
Said Success
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE. Fla.
(API Two slender Nike-Hercules
missiles roared out over the Gulf
range on successful flights yester
day. ,
Fired in salvo, the ground-to-air
missiles sped toward three
drone F80 fighters flying in for
mation about 47 miles from shore.
The first missile destroyed the
lead drone with its explosive war
head. The second missile scored a
near-miss on the next drone as
planned and fell into the Gulf. Its
nose cone, bearing instruments,
was recovered within 45 minutes.
The firings marked the sixth
successful launchings from near
by Santa Rosa Island in less than
two months and ended a joint
Army-Air Force test of air de-
lense weapons.
One of the firing batteries left
immediately for Philadelphia to
man a new Nike-Hercules site
(here similar to sites already es
tablished at Washington, New
York and Chicago.
The Nike-Hercules is reported
unofficially to have a range of
less than 100 miles and a speed

Now History
SAN FRANCISCO (UPD - The
view from the ferry-deck of San
Francisco's famous skyline-gleaming
in the sun or grayed in the fog
became history today.
lhe San Leandro, last of the
many ferries which plied across
the bay for more than a hun
dred years, bumped her way into
the Ferry Building slip for the
last time shortly after midnight.
About 1,300 persons, some who
lived with the ferries daily as
commuters in years past and
some on their first ride, stood on
the San Lcandro's deck on her
last trip. Gay youngsters from
the University of California and
graying oldsters with tears in
their eyes sang "Auld Lang Syne"
and "California" as the boat
steamed under the great Bay
Bridge on the 21-minute crossing.
Skipper Frank Diaz, 58, of Oak
land, a 37-year veteran of the fer
ries, commented that it was "an
unusually pleasant night." and, of
the end of the ferries, that "prog
ress is supposed to be."

of his crew have been given their

money on the boats for years,

merce Commission last fall to
abandon them and switch to

March 13, the only voice of pro
test was raised by an Oregon
man, Howard Morgan, of the Ore

But, while they made no pro
test earlier, the thousands of pas

on the boat during the past few
days were of one mind: "It's too
bad they have to go."

session but that Eisenhower Is
willing to go to some other city
probably Geneva if others prefer.
Eisenhower's latest note is in
answer to an angry Khrushchev
message Monday.
The Soviet leader accused Ei
senhower then of virtually reject
ing the heads of government con
ference, of being responsible for
aggression in the Middle East and
plotting new military adven
tures there.'
Khrushchev also called again
for a five-power meeting outside
the U. N. But the Soviet news
agency Tass said last night this
was not a rejection of a U. N.
meeting, and said Khrushchev
still is willing to attend a Secu
rity .council meeting.
The U. S. official' who declined
to be specifically identified called
the Khrushchev" note "a shocking
disappointment" to the President
and Secretary of Slate Dulles.
He indicated they were deter
mined generally to ignore the
abusive tone and accusations of
the Khrushchev letter and concen
trate on two points. These are:
1. Khrushchev's insistence on
holding a five-power conference to
deal with the Middle East situa-
jtion represents a policy of big
power rule of the world. The Unit
ed States rejects that concept. The
United States insists that the pro
jected conference should actually
be an extraordinary meeting of
the U, N. Security Council and not
just a meeting of the chiefs of the
great powers under the cover of
the United Nations.
2. The United States is pre
pared to go into such a meeting of
the V. N. Security Council on any
convenient day in the period Aug.
10-15. Eisenhower would be agree
able to a later date, officials said.
if the Security Council feels that
more time is required to organ
ize the special session.

Steel Hike
As Damaging
MIDDLETOWN. Ohio (AP)
Armco Steel Corp. has announced
the first 1958 steel price boost for
tomorrow a move Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn) says, "will do
our economic recovery a great
deal of harm if sustained.
The Armco price hike, the com
pany said last night, averages
2.75 per cent on 12 products, in
cluding hot and cold rolled sheets,
and adds up to about $4.50 a ton.
Kefauver, head of the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly subcom
mittee,, said in Washington the
Armco action was not justified
and would be a topic at a meeting
of his committee today.
In the-interest of holding the
line against inflation, I hope Arm
co will call eft 'the increase and
that olher companies will' not
follow it, the senator added.
Other ma lor producers of steel
made no immediate commitment
to follow Armco's lead. But many
repeated what they have been
saying for months that they
must pass on to consumers at
least part of cost increases they
attribute to a wage boost for
United Steelworkers unionists July
1.
Republic Sleel of Cleveland, the
nation's third largest producer,
and Youngstown (Ohio) Sheet k
Tube, the sixth largest, scheduled
officers' meetings today to con
sider raising prices.
U.S. Steel, which produces more
steel than its three biggest com
pel II ors combined, said in New
York, "We will study the situa
tion." Only a few hours before
Armco's announcement, Roger
Plough, board chairman of U.S.
Steel, had said on price increases:
"We haven t anything in mind at
the present time."
Because of Big steel i dominant
position in the industry, the small
er producers have until Armco
moved hesitated to take a lead
on prices.
U.S. Steel was criticized by Ke
fauver's subcommittee for the
industry's price increase July 1 of
lhe boost exceeded cost increases
last year. The senators said then
the boost exceeded cost increase
and contributed to inflationary
pressures by adding half a billion
dollars to direct costs of steel
buyers.
A government economist in
Washington estimated about 200
million dollars will be added tn
the bill of direct steel buyers if
all sleel companies match Arm
co's 2.75 per cent increase.
A general boosting of steel
prices would tend to accelerate
he steady pace at which the cost
of living has climbed for two
years, unless the sleel fabricators
absorbed the added materials
cost.
One sleel producer called Arm-
cos price changes hardly ade
quate. A Youngstown Sheet 4
Tube spokesman said it would not
meet the increased costs to his
firm since the July 1 wage boost
nf 9 1 cents an hour to the United
Steelworkers.
Armco, the industry s seventh
largest producer, reported Mon
day its first-half earnings of $20.-
!fi.744 were about 17'j million
dollars under a year ago. The
company operated at 60.8 per cent
of capacity at its plants here and
in Baltimore, Ashland. Ky., and
Butler. Pa., compared with !)3.2
per cent in the first halt of 1957.

Indian Bill Heads
For Compromise
By FLOYD WYNNE
The Klamath Indian Reservation
timber was insured against
any quick-cutting with tne pas
sage Tuesday by the House of
Representatives of their revised
version of Senate Bill 3051.
Approval of the amended ver
sion came despite a concerted last
minute maneuver to delay the bill
which would have endangered fi
nal enactment this year, and might
have opened the way for a "fire
sale" timber disposal.
The purchase bill will now be sub
mitted to a joint House-Senate con
ference from which will come a
compromise proposal.
As passed by the House, the bill
first calls for a review of the
appraisal by three competent ap
praisal estimated the total tribal
praisal estimated the total Tribal
net worth as $123,725,018.10 less
budgeted expenditures for fiscal
1957 of $2,081,100, leaving a net of
assets available of $121,643,918.10.
This figure will be reviewed as
lhe first step under terms of the
House bill.
Then the timber on the reserva
tion will be divided Into approxi
mately 10 large tracts. These will
be advertised for sale on January
1, 1959. If there are bidders, sales
can be completed by April 1, 1959.
Sales will be made on the basis
of an appraised valuation, at a
figure determined by the appraisal
review board, probably in the
neighborhood of the present figure.
Any private sales will have a
condition incorporated in the deed
management of the units so as
to insure a continuous supply of
timber.
If there are no private bidders.
the timber will be purchased on
July 1, 1961, by the federal govern
ment and be made a part of the
national forest system, and be op
erated by the Forest Service.
The Klamath Marsh will be pur
chased by the .government and
placed under the management of
the Bureau of Fish and Wildlife.
The sharpest difference between
the House-passed bill and the Sen
ate version is in the provisions for
sustained yield. The Senate meas
ure called for any purchasers to
agree to manage the timber on a
sustained yield basis for a period
of 100 years.
The amended Housa version does
not carry this provision but rather
requires that the stands be so man
aged as to provide a "continuous
supply of timber."
In commenting on' this provi
sion, congressman Al unman said,
"To make sure that there would
be no misunderstanding about the
intent ot the language, I secured
unanimous consent from the full
committee to insert the following
explanation in the published re
port on the bill: 'This (a contin
uous supply of timber) Is a guid
ing conservation principle under
which the national forests have
been managed for years. The com
mittee believes it appropriate to
use this same language to describe
the purposes for which tribal for
est lands will be managed by the
purchasers thereof under plans
prepared by the purchasers and
approved by the secretary of ag
riculture.
Ullman further reports. "Al
though the Forest Service would
prefer the original language, I am
assured by their top people here
that this change in language will
not affect the standards that the
administration will set up in any
private sales of timber on the
Klamath Reservation. However, it
is my hope that we can still ob
tain the sustained yield language
during conference committee con
sideration." He concluded his observations
on the bill by saying, "This pro
gram will In my opinion provide
just compensation to the Indians,
protect the economy of the Basin
and insure the protection of the
resource."
Sen. Richard Neuberger, who
steered the bill through Senate de
liberations, pointed out in a tele

Senator Neuberger reported that
he had received a message from
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T.
Benson in which he expressed
preference for the Senate lan
guage on sustained yield over the
House wordage.
Benson warned in the letter that
'delegation by the Congress of all
reference to sustained yield would
be widely interpreted as a weaken
ing of the conservation objective
of the bill."
He also pointed out that the dif
ference in language could mean
different interpretation on the bill
and result in extensive litigation.
"Any litigation can consume a
considerable period of time and -
involves inherent uncertainties as
to its outcome, no matter how
confident either side might be.
Abandonment by the Congress of
specific references . to sustained
yield and substitution of the other
language could not be escaped in
any litigation so precipitated,"
Benson wrote.
Senator Neuberger will be chair
man of the Senate conferees desig
nated to help iron out differences
in the bill and prepare a com
promise measure.
The House action Tuesday was
by voice vote after only a few
minutes discussion on the bill.
Representative Ullman told the
House just prior to voting on the
amended bill, "If we fail to piss
this, it will mean clear cutting of
one of the finest timber standi in
all America. If you vote this down,
it will destroy that watershed.

contempt of Congress goes before
the House Commerce Committee
for possible action today.
Rep. Peter F. Mack (D-III), a
member of the Investigations sub
committee which recommended

dorse the contempt proceeding
immediately.
But others spoke of -delays be
cause of a possible fight .within
the committee or because neces
sary documents may not be ready
for immediate action.
Goldfine, a friend of presiden
tial aide Sherman Adams, faces
possible contempt proceedings be
cause of his refusal to answer 21
questions about business matters
he contended were not relevant
to the subcommittee's Investiga
tion. If the committee -approve
the citation, the House itself would
have the last word on whether to
send the case to the Justice De
partment for possible prosecution.
Conviction for contempt of Con
gress carries a possible penalty
of $1,000 fine and a year's im
prisonment. Goldline's attorneys in Boston
said he had spent a tremendous
amount of time assisting the sub
committee and could not be
blamed "for protecting his rights
as a witness."
