He made the statement 10 newsmen at Idlewild airport in New York this morning when he arrived aboard a Scandinavian Airlanes plane with 29 Soviet aides. He added: "The Soviet government has con sidered and continues to consider that the withdrawal of American troops from Lebanon and the Brit ish troops from Jordan is a very lerious question." That is to say: In the propaganda battle of the , century, the Russians have again BEATEN US TO THE PUNCH. They have grabbed the popular side in the upcoming battle of words in the UJJ. What's wrong with us? Why are we off on the wrong foot in this Middle East ruckus? I'm afraid it's because we are pursuing a foreign policy that none of us have much faith in. We seem to be trying to run the Middle East by force. Few Americans want to run the Middle East by force. We send troops to Lebanon. Few Americans want to send troops to Lebanon or anywhere else, unless Russia starts a shoot ing war. Sending troops to foreign countries is serious business. It's no way to win friends and in fluence people. Suppose some foreign nation sent troops HERE. Suppose some foreign nation had sent troops to Little Rock last year. Everybody knows what would have happened in that event. We would have dropped our own family quarrel over integration and would have GONE TO WAR with the nation that sent the troops. Human nature is human nature and in this Middle East ruckus we seem to have been going against human nature at every point. What is a good foreign policy? Teddy Roosevelt had a pretty good idea when he said "SPEAK SOFTLY, and carry a big stick." We seem to have been speaking HARSHLY at every turn of the road. Murders Open Assassin Era In Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) A spokesman for the pro-government P. P. S. (Popular Syrian Party) said today the murder of inree ol the party's top members "opens a new era of assassi nation" in Lebanon. The assassination of the three men was expected to bring bloody reprisals from other pro-government groups against the rebel forces who have opposed Presi dent Camille Chamoun. The bodies of the three men, including P. P. S. leader Achmed Hammound, were found in rebel territory near Yanta on the Leb anese - Syrian border. They had been shot and their throats cut. Seven other P. P. S. men have been reported found killed in the vicinity of Baalbek during the past five days. It was in this area the right-wing party battled the rebels during recent fighting. I The Yanta area is ruled by rebel Druse leader Shibli Arwan iyhose forces were accused of x 1 1 1 1 n g five Lebanese customs guards last month. The P. P. S. spokesman said bis party was "incensed" at the slayings and that the group would meet to discuss the incident. The three victims were identified as Hammound, Malik Sakour, an other party leader, and a third said only to be a "prominent lawyer. Beirut and the rest of the country were reported quiet. Congress Tackles Heavy Backlog, Aiming At Weekend Adjournment WASHINGTON (AP) An adjournment-minded Congress be gins tackling a heavy backlog of legislation today in an effort to close shop by the weekend. But it was a big question wheth er the legislators could complete their work without going into next week. Neither Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) nor House Speaker Sam Rayburn (D Tex) has set a public target date for adjournment of the 85th Con gress. Nevertheless, several other legislators, especially those facing tough reelection fights in November, have expressed strong hope the session can be ended Fri day or Saturday. With the House finished with most of its major bills, the ad- iournment drive focused on the Senate which has been alerted to exDect overtime sessions this week in an all-out attempt to wind up in the next few days. The chief bills still awaiting a Senate vote are a measure to in crease Social Security benetits, the $3,518,000,000 foreign aid ap propriation bill and federal aid to KLAMATH Price Five Cents 14 Pages C.

(AP) Motorist Jack Hoffman was driving near the southeastern Oregon town of Hines Saturday night when he saw two hitchhikers and offered them a ride. After they got in the car, he recognized them as two of the nine men who broke out of the Wash ington State Reformatory at Mon roe last Wednesday night. He had read descriptions of them in news paper accounts of the breakout, Hoffman drove the pair to Burns and let them off, without letting them know he recognized them. Then, Hoffman notified po lice and the two men Roland Osterman and Robert Jacques were picked up. They were held in the Harney County jail for Washington authorities. education legislation. All three have passed the House. A renewed attempt also is ex pected to get House action on an omnibus farm bill. Rayburn has announced that, so far as he is concerned, all farm legislation is dead. He did so after Republicans and big city Democrats joined last week in defeating a third House attempt at passing a major farm bill. However, several farm state members said they would make another try to give cotton and rice farmers relief from the sharp acreage reductions they face next year under present law, and to extend the act under which farm surpluses are disposed of abroad. There also was mounting specu lation that the House might act on a Senate-passed bill designed to give the government a stronger hand in regulating labor unions and to give rank and file mem bers a bigger voice in union af fairs. Legislation to require public dis closure of employe pension and welfare funds is awaiting com promise efforts by a Senate-House conference commutes. FALLS, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 1958 Telephone TU 4-8111 Reds, U. Mid -East Plans UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (AP) Soviet Foreign i Minister Andrei A. Gromyko and 75- helpers pre pared today for a drive to get the U.N. General Assembly s emer gency session to demand with drawal of U.S. troops from Leba non and British troops from Jor dan. Gromyko was expected to speak early in the general debate, which starts Wednesday. He said on his arrival from Moscow yesterday that the Soviet government con siders the question of the with drawals very serious and his dele gation "will do their best. . . to achieve positive results." Asian neutralists were reported seeking some means of inducing the Western powers to pull their troops out quickly so the Assem bly could concentrate on other Middle Eastern problems. The group holds the balance of power in the 81-nation Assembly. There was some belief that en largement of the u.N. border ob server corps in Lebanon might get U.S. forces out of there. They admitted Jordan was a tougher problem. The United States and Britain have promised to withdraw their forces when the u.N. can protect the two countries, whose govern ments have said the United Arab Republic is working to overthrow them. The United States is reporled Dlannine to propose a police force to protect threatened countries, a watchdog commission to monitor propaganda broadcasts, an in vestigating commission to recom- mend long-range solutions, and a Mideastern economic plan, all un der the U.N. The economic plan would be financed by Mideastern oil-produc ing countries and wealthy outside nations. One Asian source said, The West is going to put up three parts and ask the Soviet union to put up one part." But he told an American, "Gromyko is not going to accept anything until you start withdrawing. Asian delegates at the U. N. picked holes in the Middle East plan proposed by secretary len eral Dag Hammarskjold Friday, It calls for (1) a pledge by Arab countries of mutual noninterfer ence, (2) big power agreement not to interfere in the Arab countries, 3 general cooperation for Mid dle East economic development and (4) U. N. protection for Jor UN Committee Cites Radioactivity Danger UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) A 15-nation U.N. scientific com mittee says even a slow, slight in crease in world radioactivity from nuclear weapon tests and other sources endangers mankind's fu ture health. While approving a report to this effect, the committee nevertheless rejected by a big majority a Soviet demand that it call for an immediate end to nuclear test ex plosions. The report was released yester day by the United Nations Scien tific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation. More than two years of study went into prepara tion of the 228-page document. The committee members unani mously agreed that even the smallest amounts of radiation are likely to cause harmful genetic and perhaps other effects such as cancer, leukemia and shortening of life. They agreed too that "even a slow rise in the environmental radioactivity in the world, wheth er from weapon tests or any other Here's the picture on other major bills: Increase in debt limit to 288 bil lion dollars Passed by the House and now before Senate Finance Committee. Small business tax relief Passed by the House and ap proved by the Senate Finance Committee. Depressed areas bill Passed by the Senate and cleared for House debate. Supreme Court curbs Several bills approved by the Senate Judi ciary Committee but not yet cleared for floor action. The one given the best chance for Senate passage is a bill to restore to the state the right to enforce their own antisubversive laws. The House has passed a broader ver sion. A $3,131,000,000 supplemental appropriations bill carrying funds for the Atomic Energy Commis sion and other agencies Passed by the House and now before the Senate Appropriations Committee. Omnibus housing bill Passed by the Senate and approved by the House Banking Committee, but stuck in the Rules Committee. No. 8147 S. Map dan, Lebanon ' and the Israel- U. A. R. frontier. Some Asians said this asked a lot from the U. A. R and the So viet Union and promised little in return. They contended it would hamper expansion of U. A. R in fluence while leaving untouched the Baghdad Pact alliance on the southern Soviet border, the Brit ish hold on the southern and east ern Arabian coast, and French rule over Algeria, not to mention Israel. Gromyko said on arrival in New York the big powers must help in economic development of the Mid dle East "under conditions that will not interfere with the inde pendence of these countries." The hoviet foreign minister also called again for Red China s ad mission to the U. N., saying. "The sooner this is done the better.' A Soviet move to seat Peioing's representatives in the Assembly seemed certain, but it was likely to be matched by a Cuban move to reject the credentials of the Hungarian Communist delegation as a protest against the execution last June of ex-Premier Imre Nagy. Elsewhere: Soviet Premier Khrushchev in a speech at Kuibyshev charged the United States and Britain once again with plotting a war against Iraq s new republican govern ment. He said the Soviet Union and "all the other peace loving nations" would destroy the two Western allies if they launched "s new aggressive war." Israel again withdrew permis sion for the American airlift to British troops in Jordan to fly over her territory. An army spokesman in the Syrian province of the U.A.R, claimed that a U.S. jet plane from Lebanon had trespassed over Syria but was driven back by an antiaircraft battery. There was no confirmation from the U.S. com mand in Beirut. ? In Lebanon, near the Syrian border, Ahmed Hammoud, a top member of Lebanon s Syrian Social- national party, and two party members were found murdered. There was some speculation they might have been the Victims of bandits. A Jordan government investi gating committee charged that U.A.R. Syrians and Lebanese rebels smuggled explosives into Jordan some of it aboard U.N. planes for terrorists planning to create a state of chaos. sources, might eventually cause appreciable damage to large populations before it could be def initely identified as due to radia tion." Unanimous (oo was the conclu sion that present attempts to evaluate radiation effects on man can produce only tentative esti mates with wide margins of un certainty. The U.S. Atomic Energy Com mission said the U.N. report "gen erally confirms the statements in the June 1956 report of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences with respect to the possible hazards from radiation. "It is important to note that in- sotar as leukemia and bone can cer are concerned, the committee has pointed out there is no cer tainty that fallout will produce any additional cases of either disease," the AEC statement said. "As is the case with every tech nological advance," the AEC con tinued, "man must learn to live with new risks even as he accepts new benefits conferred upon him. The majority of the committee took the view that the problem of controlling or curbing nuclear tests and other sources of radia tion lies outside the group's scope. The section of the report giving this view won approval by a 9-5 vote with one abstention. The breakdown was not given, but the United States voted with the majority. The other nations in the study: Argentina, Australia, Belgium Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, United Arab Republic, France, In dia, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, the Soviet Union and Britain.

King Claims Nasser A Red AMMAN, Jordan (UPI) King Hussein of Jordan has denounced Gamal Abdel Nasser as a Krcm Iin agent who allegedly ignited the Lebanese rebellion and is conspir ing against Hussein s regime. The young monarch made the charges in a radio address to his countrymen on the sixth anniver sary of his accession to the throne. Hussein sought to assure Jor danians, in what he termed a heart to heart" talk, that he was unshaken by the times and tid ings." As he spoke, Jordan s police ac cused the Syrian secret service nd Lebanese rebels of having smuggled explosives into Amman aboard a United Nations plane in an attempt to launch a terror campaign against Jordan 9 inde pendence. The explosives, it was charged, were to have been used to blow up offices of the Jordanian De velopment Board. The plot was discovered earlier this month fol lowing the arrest of a Theodore Stephan, 23, a Lebanese, and his fiance. Nadia Salti, 20, a Jordani an, police said. Hussein called Nasser "an im postor who made Moscow his Kaa- ba (Moslem shrine in Mecca) from which he was receiving or ders." Egypt's rulers, he charged, had imposed a dictatorship and tied the nation to Communist im perialism. heyprs dictator Is satislied with the cheers of hirelings and stage speeches while Egypt is suf fering under hunger and fear," Hussein said.

Despite the big Communist buildup, and the crisis in the Mid dle East, Vice Adm. Wallace! Beakley, commander of the U. S. Seventh Fleet, said the Navy is capable of "maintaining peace" in the 100-mile-wide Formosa Strait and the Far East. Beakley, in a cabled interview with UPI correspondent Arnold Dibble in Tokyo, said the threat to Formosa has always been there and I do not consider there has been a great change today." But Nationalist officials took no tice of the Communist buildup and issued orders to all cities and towns in Formosa for emergency evacuation in case of Communist attacks. Chinese flocked to the Formosa beaches as usual but troops armed with rifles and wear ing steel helmets patrolled the dunes. It was obvious the Nationalist government believed a Communist invasion of Formosa or its ad jacent islands was imminent. The entire nation was under full mili tary alert. Porky Fund Set In Lake County LAKEVIEW (AP) - A $4,000 fund to help eradicate porcupines has been set up in Lake County. Lake County, Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., Fremont Lumber Co., and Warner Mountain Lumber Co. each contributed (1,000 to the fund. A bounty of 50 cents will be paid for each porcupine nose taken to the county courthouse here. Senator Urges Bigger Increase For Social Security WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Johnismall on paper," he said, "it is a F. Kennedy (D-Mass) urged today that old age benefits be increased 8 per cent instead of 7 per cent as provided in a House-passed So cial Security bill. In testimony prepared for the Senate Finance Committee, he also advocated an increase in lump-sum death payments and 'an amendment to provide aid for de pendent children with unemployed lathers. At the committee's first session on the bill Friday, Secretary of Welfare Arthur S. Flemming vig orously opposed a section that would increase grants to the states for public assistance pro grams by 288 million dollars in the first year. Flemming said he would rec ommend a presidential veto if this provision of the House bill were retained. But the secretary en dorsed the proposed 7 per cent increase in Social Security Insur ance benefits, to he financed by a higher payroll tax. Kennedy contended an 8 per cent increase Is necessary to cov er higher living costs.

The strike began after an em ployer committee rejected the un ion's final demands for wage par ity with drivers in the San Fran cisco Bay Area. The Western States Employers' Labor Policy Committee warned the union it would consider a strike against all member firms in the Far West, The strike immediately involved 1,400 members of Valley Team sters Joint Council 38, representing drivers from Bakersfield to the Oregon border and including Reno. A general shutdown Tould in volve as many as 100,000 people and halt all operations of 1,600 "for hire trucking firms in the west. Trucking involving such com modities as milk, bread and beer would not be affected since they are handled by private fleets. No lockouts were scheduled for San Francisco itself, where Team sters are negotiating separately. But curtailment of long distance trucking would inevitably mean layoffs here. Both sides held a series of meet ings Sunday. When it became ap parent that no agreement would be forthcoming, the meetings turned into strike-lockout strategy ses sions. At the last minute, the employ ers asked the union to delay the 6 a.m. strike deadline and to in clude Joint Council 38 in wage ne gotiations for the entire West.

Solon Praises Economic Aid WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn) to day urged increased economic de velopment loans to meet the chal lenge of the Soviet economic of fensive. He said the Soviet aid and trade program "has reached significant proportions in carefully selected strategic areas" and. increased the urgency of this country's ef forts to help underdeveloped na tions. "Either we pitch in to meet the needs of the uncommitted na tions," he said, "or we must rec oncile ourselves to the continued growth of Soviet influence in these countries. In anticipation of Senate action i the foreign aid appropriation bill later this week, Humphrey ad vocated in a prepared Senate speech the full 625 million dollars authorized for the development loan fund. The bill, as it passed the House, carried only 300 million for the fund. The Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended that this be boosted to 580 million. This was only one of a number of increases the Senate committee made in restoring 440 million dol lars of the 597'i million cut by the House from new foreign aid funds. vital dollars-and-cents difference to our retired workers and their families." Kennedy also urged removal of the present dollar ceiling on lump sum death payments and a return to a provision, previously in the law, for payments equal to three times the monthly benefit to which an Insured worker is en titled. He said this would mean a max imum payment of $381 instead of the present ceiling of $255. "The meager lump-sum pay ments now provided," Kennedy said, "will not take care of even a very modest funeral, to say nothing of helping to defray last illness expenses." A third amendment proposed by Kennedy would permit federal grants to the states to aid needy children of a father who Is un employed. He said present law re stricts such aid to cases arising from the death, disability or de sertion of a parent. In separate prepared testimony, a spokesman for Insurance groups opposed the bill and asked for further congressional study of the eries. The California strike was launched to back up union wage aemanos in the Sacramento area. Many trucking companies in California began shutting down operations contending a strike against one was a strike against all. This was the picture Monday in Oregon: In Portland, a Teamsters official said drivers probably would quit work after material already on hand was delivered." Union locals in Salem said they would follow the lead of the. Port land Teamsters. Eugene reported no Immediate effects of the strike, but Rose burg and Grants Pass both re ported action by employer groups. In Roseburg, Pacific Motor Trucking Co. and Pierce Freight Lines said they were accepting no more pickups. Consolidated Frelghtways I n Grants Pass said it was following an identical course. In Portland, a spokesman for the Oregon Truck Operators League said "the entire coast will be down as soon as companies get rid of freight on hand. The Oregon-Nevada-California Freight Co. said it was accepting no additional delivery, orders. mere was no immediate indica tion how many men might be tied up in the dispute. Local Strike Hits Retail Lumber Yards Pickets appeared on Saturday morning at the eight retail lumber yards in Klamath Falls in a strike . called by Local 911 of the Team sters Union. The striking members total 12 in Klamath Falls and their duties are to load and unload and deliver ma terials to and from jobs. none ot tne yards closed, how ever, and most of them reported an unexpeciea increase in Busi ness. At one yard, even the office force was pressed into service to help the sales department op Sat urday, ,. According to Gregory L. Judd, lo cal secretary of the Teamsters Un ion, the dispute involves a da. manded raise in hourly wages for Teamsters employed by the retail yards from $1.94 per hour to $2.15 per hour. Negotiations with the employers have been going on since the expiration date of the last contract in October, 1957, Judd Indicated his union's wil. Hngness to meet with the employ ers' group at any time to iron out what he termed "inequities." The employers state their last meeting with the union's local was on August 1. At that time, the employers offered an increase in wages of 11 cents an hour, plus 95 cents per month health and welfare, which offer was refused. Alfred Collier. Swan Lake Mould. ing Company, spokesman for the employers, said: These employes ere In a little different position from other mem bers of the Teamsters Union. We keep them on all year around and they actually receive about seven cents an hour in vacation pay and five cents holiday pay. That fig ures $2.17 an hour in addition to their health and welfare benefits." Collier stated that these employ es receive one week vacation with pay up to three years' employ ment and after they have been with a firm three years, they re ceive two weeks' paid vacation. There are seven paid holidays yearly in the contract, he added. The employers are willing to meet with the union "at any time and any place," Collier said. In the meantime, the employers will continue to operate their yards and make their own deliveries, he said, so that local lumber custo mers will not be deprived of need ed supplies. Benefits need for increased Social Secu iity benefits. John H. Miller, vice president of Monarch Life Insurance Co., Springfield, Mass., said: "In the final analysis we are forced to conclude that the bill under con sideration would liberalize the (Social Security) system when a need for such liberalization has not been adequately demonstrat ed."
