COM? u or oasaoH iibrabt -i In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Western Hemisphere note: American and Canadian officials reportedly are discussing the sale of American nuclear weapons to Canada. One authoritative source fays an agreement may have been reached already. Canada would be the first na tion to obtain atomic arms from the United States. ' Comment: IF WE CAN'T TRUST CANADA, WE CAN'T TRUST ANYBODY. Federal spending note: Federal budget director Maurice Etans warns the congress that fed eral spending might reach to a total of 400 billion dollars by 1963. 1963 is five years off, and presumably he means that federal spending will average 80 billion dollars a year for the next five years.) He made the statement when questioned by a house committee about the administration request for a bill raising the national debt ceiling to 288 billion dollars. For the benefit of those who contend that big federal spending means big national prosperity, let's keep the situation straight in our minds. It works like this: The government takes the money out of your pocket in the form of taxes and spends it. That means that YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN YOUR POCKET TO SPEND AS YOU CHOOSE. More federal spending stuff: President Eisenhower has vetoed a 6W billion dollar appropriations bill. He said in his veto message that the extra 589 million dollars added to the original bill would un necessarily push up the deficit. Some Washington congressional leaders think the veto will put some federal agencies on SHORT MONEY RATIONS until next year (meaning that if the veto stands some federal departments may not have money enough to main tain their establishments on the scale to which they have become accustomed.) That recalls a statement in a recent letter from a Washington friend. He says: "From all I can hear, the rest of the country has been feeling the recession bite. Here in Washington, D.C., though, the economic pic ture is VERY BRIGHT. Wash ington's biggest payroll industry is government and as a result of the recent increase in their pay government employees are spend ing 10 per cent more money in town. .. - - "Not only that, but everybody got enough in a retroactive pay check to make a down payment on a new automobile or maybe a new nouse. "As a result, business here in Washington is BOOMING and there is no recession talk." Judge Named To Mine Case LAKEVIEW Word was received here today that Judge William S. Fort of Eugene has been assigned by the Oregon Supreme Court to sit in the case of Lakeview Mining Company against the Lakeview lo cal of United Mine Workers of America. He will substitute for Circuit Judge Charles Foster who was disqualified upon petition by the defendants. No date has been set for the hearing. Cause of action arose after the union voted a strike against the White King uranium mine, proper ty of Lakeview Mining Company. on July 20. The mining company protested the establishment of a picket line on July 21 which im peded progress of development work at the mine. Judge Foster set July 28 as the date for the union to show cause why it should not desist from pick eting. At the same time he is sued a temporary injunction re straining the union from picketing and the injunction is still effective. ELKS CAN EAT, make no mistake of that. Hera part of Sunday's crowd of 3.000 members and families at the annual Elks Club plenle in Malin Park wait over tables which were burdened with 2,500 pounds of barbecued meat, 85 gallons of potato salad, 50 gallons of cola slaw, 15 cases of canned beans and 2,500 ice cream cups, all washed down with 4,000 bottles of pop and 4,000 bottles of bear. The picnic committee, headed by Bill Carter ef Klamath Falls and Vaclav Kalina of Malin, served all that chow in an hour and 16 min r iites, believed to be a new record. " 4 Price Five Cents 14 Pages Missile Boss Expects Moon Shot Shortly WASHINGTON (AP) Roy W. Johnson, boss of the nation's moon rocket program, indicated today that the first attempt to put up a lunar satellite could come as early as next week. Johnson told a reporter that the Defense Department hopes to de cide this week on the date. The director of the department's Advanced Research Projects Agency added that the date would be decided upon about five days in advance of the actual launch ing attempt. This would conform closely with estimates of persons close to the lunar probe program that the earliest launching date under con sideration was Aug. 15, and that the most likely dates would be Aug. 17-19. A major goal of the attempt is to get pictures of the hidden side of the moon not to hit the moon itself. Johnson said that if the shot is completely successful, the probe will orbit several times around the moon He emphasized that many things could prevent success of this first experimental shot. Johnson also disclosed for the first time that the lunar satellite probably would be cylindrical in shape. He said that with its in struments it would weigh 50 to 60 pounds. He explained that several lunar satellites have been built at the Naval Test Center, Inyokern, Calif., of various shapes and de signs "and we'll take one off the shelf. The launching rocket will con sist of a Thor intermediate range ballistic missile, and the second and third stages of the Vanguard satellite rocket. The third stage, however, is of a hitherto untried solid propellant design, more powerful than the third stages of the Vanguard rockets fired to date. The satellite, housed in the nose of the final stage, will contain a television-type scanning device with a gyroscope to keep it aimed constantly at the moon. r Johnson said that within six minutes , after the launching at Cape Canaveral, Fla.. "we should know whether all the stages have fired successfully. "Within 90 minutes we will know whether everything is on course. But then we will have to wait 2'-i days for the rocket to reach the moon if it goes that far." Johnson said he would be great ly pleased it the satellite ap proached to within 20,000 or 30,000 miles of the moon. The moon on the average is some 238,000 miles from the earth. He said when the satellite nears the moon tiny rockets will be fired in the reverse direction by radio command from the earth to slow if sufficiently for it to be attracted by the moon's gravitational field. June Business Shows Increase Business activity in Klamath and Lake counties, as measured through bank debits, showed a slight increase during June. The University of Oregon's bu reau of business research said five Klamath and Lake County banks reported debits of $29,938,807 dur ing June, an increase of 3.1 over! May. The totals, i... r, were three per cent below those of June, 1957. Bank debits throughout the state totaled $1,660,602,574, an increase of 0.9 per cent over May and 3.2 per cent over June, 1957. KLAMATH THE OREGON HEREFORD ASSOCIATION held a portion of its annual tour in Klamath County last week when some 80 members toured ranches and ranges in the area. Lake and Crook counties were also included in the three-day Prices Hiked By 3 More Steel Firms PITTSBURGH (AP) Three more steel firms, including the nations two largest, today in creased the cost of selected steel items, in the second round of the industry s piecemeal price adjust ments. ' Posting higher prices for such products as bars, rods, wire and tubular items were U. S. Steel Corp., Bethlehem and Inland. U.S. Steel is the giant of the industry, Bethlehem the No. 2 producer and Inland No. 8. They followed the load set last week by Republic Steel, third- ranking producer, and other smaller firms. For U. S. Steel it meant fur ther abdication of its leadership role in price adjustments since World War II. Early last week Armco, No. 7, took the initiative by boosting prices on flat rolled products an average of $4.50 a ton. U. S. Steel and Inland said in creases, effective today, average about 3 per cent. Bethlehem did not announce any specific figures for its list.

Lebanon (API-Pres ident-elect Fuad Shehab wants U.S. troops to get out of Lebanon but President Camille Chamoun is determined to keep them here un til his term ends Sept. 23. Shehab said withdrawal of the 13,000 American soldiers and Ma rines is foremost among our na tional aims." The first announce ment of the army commander since he was elected Thursday indicated he favored a policy of neutrality toward the big powers and friendship with Lebanon's Arab neighbors. Chamoun. the nro-western pres ident who asked Washington to send the troops three weeks ago, said, "I won't ask the Marines to leave. Ho has rejected renci demands that he step aside early for Shehab. Chamoun also said he would represent Lebanon at any summit conference to which Middle East ern leaders are invited. Leaders of the three-month-old rebellion against Chamoun say the now smouldering strife will flame anew if he tries to repre sent Lebanon at the summit or name one of his men as his dele gate. The rebels who also de mand immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops say Shehab should speak for Lebanon at any summit tour.

Dulles said on arrival yesterday he would talk about the world sit uation, inter-American reations with special attention to economic problems and U.S. -Brazilian rela tions. The Brazilians were most in terested in what Dulles would have to say about coffee, their chief export crop, and U.S. aid in developing Brazilian oil resources. A meeting of hemisphere foreign ministers or even heads of gov ernments to study economic and other, problems has been suggest ed by Kubitschek. Dulles indicated in an airport statement his mind was on the cold war and the Middle East. And on arrival at the U.S. Embassy, he told the embassy staff. The days today are particularly critical. There is an effort to exert pres sure perhaps more intense than during the last three or four years perhaps more reminiscent of the Berlin airlift and of Korea in that respect." The Soviet Union has been seek ing recently to renew diplomatic and commercial tics with Brazil and has stepped up its economic campaigns in neighboring coun tries. Brazil broke diplomatic re lations with the Soviet Union in 1947 after a number of Soviet verbal attacks on her. and the government has reported a num ber of Communist subversive plots in recent years. Dulles route from the embassy to the residence of U.S. Ambassa conference 1 held before he be comes president. Shehab said the national charter drawn up by all sects in this half Christian, half-Moslem nation when the French left in 1943 "emphasizes Lebanon's independ ence and it is a clear Arab policy. Frankness in relations with our Arab brothers will be among the bases of the country's future for eign policy." Chamoun s acceptance of the Eisenhower Doctrine had separat ed Lebanon from Arab forces led by U.A.R. President Nasser and was one cause of the revolt which led to the Marines' landing. Chamoun spoke to newsmen just before meeting with Robert u. Murphy, President Eisenhow er s troubleshootcr. The rebels have been pleased that Murphy used his influence last week to have the presidential election held. Chamoun's supporters have neen nappy with the rcccjit arnv al of more U.S. troops here.

Court Slates Segregation Ruling ST. LOUIS (AP) - Uncharted legal territory will be explored by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap peals in studying suspension of racial Integration at Little Rock s Central High School. The seven-judge court Is expect ed to make a decision before the fall school term begins at Little Rock. At issue is a June 21 order by U.S. Dist. Judge Harry J. Lemley of Arkansas granting a 2'i-year suspension or cooling off period at the school where integration was enforced with federal troops during the last school year. The order was appealed by the Nation al Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People. The big question before the ap peals court is whether such a de lay is legally permissible under the Supreme Court s order that segregation in public schools be ended with ail deliberate speed. The question has not been con sidered previously. A sharp conflict of views on the legal questions involved was un derlined in oral arguments during Ex-Teamo Official Vows Revenge For Nephew By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PONTIAC. Mich. (AP) New mystery piled up Tuesday in the human-torch burning of an ex- convict business agent for the Teamsters Union. His ex-convict uncle who swore revenge has dis appeared. Herman Kierdorf, 68, was mis sing and sought on a warrant charging him with possessing a silencer for a pistol. Herman had both sworn revenge and reported a telephone threat of: '"You'll be next."' His stocky, muscular body charred nearly from head to foot. Herman s nephew, 56-year-o 1 d Frank Kierdorf, lay near death at a hospital here. Frank told authorities two gun men he didn't know made a hu man torch of him Monday and he wea puaiuvo me uh iiue-uui lung was in some way connected with union business. Frank was tossed from a car to the hospital grounds. Herman disappeared Mondav night after persuading Frank to gasp out his pain-racked story. Oakland County Prosecutor Frederick Ziem said a brief case Herman Kierdorf left at a neigh bors home contained a German pistol with a home-made silencer. Putting a silencer on a pistol is punishable by up to five years im prisonment, Ziem said. 1 Two telephones and another gun U.N. Members Await Word From Nikita UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) U.N. delegates are continuing private discussion of arrange ments for a Security Council sum mit meeting while awaiting word wnetner soviet Premier Khrush chev will attend. In the absence of word from the Soviets, there has been no sched uling of a preliminary meeting of the Council to set a time and place for the government chiefs to gath er. There was speculation in Mos cow and at U.N. headquarters that Khrushchev's acceptance or rejection of the Western invita tion to a Council meeting might be made public at the U.N., not in me soviet capital. Diplomats leaning to this view pointed out that President Eisen hower and Prime Minister Mac millan in their last letters to the soviet chief had not requested an answer specifically but had said they were going ahead to arrange a summit security council meet ing to start around Aug. 12. These sources felt it would he logical for the Soviet U.N. dele gate, Arkady Sobolev, to commu nicate the Soviet position to the council. Britain's U.N. delegate. Sir Pier- son Dixon, told newsmen the pri vate lams among delegates might continue ail week, it was appar ent that no summit meeting could b.e arranged by Aug. 12. Aug. 18 appeared a more likely date. Preference was growing for Geneva as the conference site, rather than New York. A soviet source said it appeared no one but Secretary General Dag Hammar skjold wanted to meet in New York. Tho United States also was reported preferring Geneva but willing to agree to New York if the majority of the Council wants it that way. Waitress Tries To 'Bust' Way Out Of Bastille SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - An attractive cocktail waitress tried to bust out of jail Monday night, but she got caught in the middle. Jeanne Brown, 28. was booked at City Prison on a drunk charge. Rather than spend the night in a cell, she decided to squeeze her 35-22-36 proportions through a small opening used for serving food to prisoners. The opening measured seven by 10 inches. The 35 made it and so did the 22. But the 36 was a tight squeeso. So tight in fact that Miss Brown got stuck. Six firemen and three policemen spent 40 minutes pulling and haul ing in vain. Finally, they freed Miss Brown with the aid of crow bars and hacksaws. a hearing yesterday, after which the court took the case under ad visement. Attorneys for tho Little Rock school board, which asked for the suspension, pleaded that it is es sential to give relief from unrest and disciplinary problems at the school. We ask for patience and a brief respite." said Richard C. Butler of Little Rock, one of the board's attorneys. Negro attorneys argued that approval of the suspension order would represent a surrender to mob violence. "You will be creating a Frank enstein monster that will come back to haunt you," said Wiley A. Branton of Pine Bluff, Ark. Thurgood Marshall, chief attor ney for the NAACP, said the school board was derelict in that it failed to take proper disciplin ary measures against trouble making white students. But Butler maintained the school board, which drew up the Little Rock plan of gradual inte gration, made a conscientious ef also were found in a sack left at the neighbor's by Herman, Ziem said, but added that Herman "wouldn't tell us anything."

Both nephew and uncle hava been reluctant witnesses before the Senate Rackets Committee in its probe of the Teamsters Union. Ziem sent Sen. John McClellan (D-Ark), rackets committee chairman, an eight-minute record ing of Frank Kierdorf s torture story. Committee investigators Walter H. Henson and Sherman S. wuse spent several hours with Ziem and Pontiac police. frank Kierdorf said he was lured from his home and driven to a lonely woods where his sa distic captors poured an inflam mable liquid on him and touched a match. Both Kicrdorfs had long oolice records. In 1941, Frank and an ac complice robbed a collector for a coal company of several thousand dollars, was convicted in 1942 and was sent to Southern Michigan prison. He was paroled in 1945 and immediately went to work for the Teamsters. Frank and his uncle were arrest? cd in the $21,000 holdup of a de partment store at Akron, Ohio, in 1941. No charges were lodged against Frank, but Herman was convicted and served six years and lour months. Robert F. Kennedy, committee counsel, said Kierdorf's statement that he believed the attack was connected with union business threw the case clearly within the committee's jurisdiction.

School Bill Moves Toward Senate Floor WASHINGTON (AP) A billion-dollar education bill to es tablish federal college scholar ships and provide other school aid moved toward the Senate floor I today. npprovea oy a m-i vote ot in Senate Labor Committee yester day, it was ready for action today by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee. That group decides the order in which legislation is to be considered. Chairman Lister Hill (D-Ala) of the Labor Committee predicted the Senate would pass the bill later in the week. Meanwhile. House sponsors ot similar legislation agreed to soma compromises in a meeting with Republican congressmen and ad ministration officials to win need ed votes in that body for the measure. Rep. Carl Elliott (D-Ala), author of the House Bill, said he would offer a floor amendment to cut the number of college scholarships from 23,000 to 10,000 and base them solely on need. He said this would bring the measure in line with President Eisenhower's wishes. The House bill was approved by the House Labor Committee July 2 but still is awaiting Rules Com mittee clearance. The twin developments gave strong indication that an educa tion bill will be sent to the Pres ident as one of the final major legislative acts of the 58th Con gress. A new call for such action cam today from Arthur S. Flemming, new secretary of the Health, Ed ucation and Welfare Department, which would handle the program. He said the House bill, with changes suggested by Eisenhow er, "offers an effective vehicle for those who want to substitute ac tion for talk." CANAL DEEPENED PORT SAID, U.A.R.

The maximum draft of vessels now using the canal is 34 feet. fort to comply with the Supreme Court decision. A. F. House, another Little Rock attorney for the board, accused the Eisenhower administration of failing to give the board needed help in enforcing integration at Central High. "Problems multiplied a thou sand fold," House said, with the announcement from the office of Herbert W. Brownell, then attor ney general, that leaders of the white mob which demonstrated outside the school would not be prosecuted. It was this demonstration, after court-ordered removal of Arkan sas National Guardsmen who had kept nine Negro children from en rolling last fall, that resulted in the dispatching of federal troops to Little hock.
