In The
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
In election years a lot of us are
inclined to make cynical cracks
about the congress of the United
States. I think this is a good time
to point out that here in Southern
Oregon and Far Northern Califor
nia we have no reason to throw
brickbats at the congress that has
just adjourned. It enacted into
law two measures that are of IM
MENSE importance to our future.
one ol them is the Oregon
California Klamath River com
pact.
The other is S 3051 the amend
ment to the Klamath reservation
termination law.
The first reserves for use within
tii own two-state watershed the
wVers of the Klamath river. The
second provides for a fair return
for the Klamath Indians from
their property and for continued
. sustained yield use of the Klamath
forests.
Here are the basic essentials for
growth and development:
1. Water without which all oth
er resources are valueless.
2. Ample raw materials for man
ufactured products that are in de
mand. 3. Power.
4. Markets for the products to
be produced.
In our mythical State of Jeffer
son, we have these essentials in
abundance.
We have more stored water than
any other region between the Co
lumbia river and Hoover dam.
Our vast forests, now coming
increasingly under sustained yield
management, which means keep
ing trees growing as fast as trees
are cut, will provide the raw ma
terial for lumber and pulp and
paper products.
Power, in volume ample to meet
our needs, will be produced from
our water after it has been used
for agriculture and industry.
Markets for our products will be
provided by the rapidly growing
population of the 11 Western
states.
We have WHAT IT TAKES to!
grow.
So much for what we have now.
There is a PLUS ingredient in
our future.
This plus ingredient is WOOD
CHEMISTRY.
By means of wood chemistry, we
will derive a wide range of use
ful products from the WASTE of
plants making products out of
wood fiber. Hitherto, these wastes
have been costly nuisances. They
have had to bo DISPOSED OF
in some manner or other. Other
wise, they will pollute the waters
of our streams. The methods of
disposing of them in use up to now
have been expensive.
By the miracle of wood chemis
try, these wastes will be converted
into useful products. Their con
version will bring to our area a
NEW INDUSTRY the chemical
industry. Petroleum chemistry is
already one of the nation's lead
ing industries. Competent authori
ties assure us that in time wood
chemistry will equal petroleum
chemistry.
There is this important differ
ence: The supply of petroleum can be
exhausted. When the petroleum is
all pumped out of the earth, there
won't be any more. If we keep
enough trees growing, the supply
of wood which is the basic raw
material of wood chemistry will
NEVER be exhausted.
Trees grow out of the soil.
They are a CROP.
Keep your eye on Southern Ore
gon and Far Northern California.
What can happen here in the
next few years will be worth see

Isles Braced
For Invasion
WASHINGTON (AP) The
United States is sending more
military reinforcements to the
troubled Far East.
The Defense Department, in re
sponse to queries, said Saturday
that a squadron of jet fighters and
some cargo aircraft arc on the
way to bolster air strength in the
area. The planes are from the
Tactical Air Command.
Their exact destination was not
disclosed.
The number of fighter planes
en route was not disclosed, but
the size of a squadron ordinarily
is 18 planes. It was learned that
the planes are F100D interceptors
from George Air Force Base in
California.
The buildup of U.S. forces in
the Western Pacific began after
the Red Chinese started shelling
Chinese Nationalist offshore island
near Formosa, and threatened to
invade them.
U.S. officials looked fur a possi
ble invasion move over the week
end. This could bring a showdown
whether the United States intends
to defend the islands and become
involved in combat with the Chi
nese Communists.
The carrier Essex and four de
stroyers are enroute from the
Mediterranean to the Western Pa
cific to bolster the 7th Fleet, and
the carrier Midway and heavy
cruiser Los Angeles are on their
way there from the U.S. West
Coast.
The 7th Fleet already has near
ly 300 planes on its carriers. Four
teen Air Force wings are in the
Far East. Some Air Force fighters
and bombers have flown to the
Nationalist base of Formosa from
the Philippines and Okinawa.
In expectation of Red Chinese
moves over the weekend, the
Slate Department, with Under
Secretary of State Christian R.
Herter in charge, kept its far
East experts working or on call
during the holiday.
Top officials were away as a
new tenseness continued to build
up in the' Far East in the wake of
Red China's heavy snelling of
Chinese Nationalist offshore is
lands.
President Eisenhower was va
cationing at Newport, R.I., Secre
tary of State Dulles was on a sail
ing holiday at Lake Ontario and
Walter a. Robertson, assistant sec
retary of state for Far East af
fairs, was, not expected back from
vacation until Tuesday.
Eisenhower and" Dulles have
laid down a tough line for facing
up to Peiping's threats to attack
the offshore islands lying within
sight of the China mainland.
Officials said the administration
has decided to draw the line on
any aggressive expansionism by
Red China. But they refused to
say flatly whether this meant the
Potato Plan
Set By USDA
A telegram was received Fri
day afternoon from Congressman
Al Ullman by Walt Jendrzejewski,
Klamath County agent, staring
that a potato diversion program
was announced in Washington ear
lier in the day.
This message was followed by
a wire from A. E. Mercker. exe
cutive director. National Potato
Council, Washington, D.C., which
read:
"USDA announced potato diver

where marketing plans are devel
oped and approved by USDA. Pay

U.S. 7th Fleet, now on alert in
the Formosa Straits, would fight
to defend Quemoy, Matsu and
other offshore Nationalist island
outposts.
The Red Chinese have voiced
repeatedly this week their inten
tion to conquer, all the islands.
And Eisenhower and Dulles have
stressed there is an interlocking
among all the Nationalist-held is
lands. Thus, the stage was set for
Eisenhower to make a finding that
Quemoy and Matsu must be de
fended by the United States.
Peipinq Says
More Shelling
Coming Up
TAIPEI. Formosa (AP) Com
munist fire slacked off Saturday
after more than 12,000 shells were
poured into the Nationalist-held
Quemoy islands group in 24 hours,
but Peiping threatened heavier
bombardments to come.
The Communist ministry of na
tional defense ordered its artillery
units "to redouble their attack"
on the islands just off the Chinese
mainland. Peiping radio - said. It
claimed that heavy casualties had
been inflicted on Nationalist troops
in the eight-day bombardment.
Most military men on Formosa
have concluded that the shelline is
the prelude to a Communist at
tempt to capture the Quemoy
group soon. The Nationalists say
they're ready.
From early Friday until 2:31 a.m.
Saturday the Reds poured 12.345
shells into the islands, the Na
tionalist defense ministry said.
Then they decreased the fire, hurl
ing only 390 shells at the National
ists until shortly after dawn when
they switched to an occasional
round of shells carrying propa
ganda leaflets.
Ministry officials said the rela
tive lull might be just a prelude
to heavier bombardments. They
did not consider it a sign the Reds
had decided to lay ofi.
near Adm. Liu Hoh-tu, the
ministry's official spokesman, said
there would be no question of the
Nationalists' abandoning the Tan
islets in the Quemoy group or anv
other offshore islands no matter
how heavily they were shelled.
The"1eaflts presumably were the
Standard . surrender-or-die threats.
The tiny Tans, 2Vj miles south
of the Communist port of Amoy.
which they help blockade, were
the target Friday of a record 7.120
shells, according to the ministry.
They are considered the most like
ly point for a Communist invasion
attempt.
"If the Reds think they are go
ing to cow the defenders of the off
shore islands by bombardments,
they are mistaken," the admiral
said. "If they want the islands,
they will have to come over and
get them if they can."

Supreme Court Move Could Alter
Little Rock School Opening Date
WASHINGTON (UPI) Legal
observers said Saturday that U.S
Supreme Court could move swiftly
and decisively to upset any ma
neuver in Little Rock, Ark., aimed
at reopening Central High School
on a segregated basis before the
court s Sept. 11 hearing.
iney pointed out that it would
take only one brief order from the
high court to wipe the slate clean
of all appeals, delays and slays
granted by lower courts. The ef
fect of such an order would be
to reinstate the original court
ruling requiring integration at
Central High, regardless of when
it opens.
At the conclusion of its hearing
Thursday, the Supreme Court
weni along with the plea of the
Little Rock .School Board to leave
in ellect, for the time being, a
stay granted by the Bth Circuit
Court of Appeals temporarily sus

Eisenhower approved a proposal
by John A. McCone, chairman of

Central High School were to open
on Sept. 8 instead of Sept. li
the court would have abundant
precedent for making an abrupt

The Supreme Court justices are
fully aware of the news stories
from Little Rock reporting that
Gov. Orval E. Faubus is with
holding his signature of a bill to
set Central's opening dote on Sept.

Fishing Story
"Bit Too Fishy'

A fish slory is a fish story, and
in telling has a tendency to he
come even more of a story, fishy
or otherwise.
However, Mayor Lawrence Sla
tcr who recently landed a 35
pound Chinook salmon in the pa
cific olf Astoria called the Herald
and News Saturday morning to
cut down his fish story a hit.
"I was misunderstood." the
mayor lamented, "and it is caus
ing me plenty of headaches."
It seems that the picture of (he
mayor and the fish in Thursday's
Herald and News carried a cap-t
tion that stated it was the largest
salmon in six years caught 111 j

'Before Astorians rise up in
wrathful revenge," the mayor'
said, "please point out that I meant

Authoritative sources, mean

the board would postpone the
opening until the 15th to keep on
the right side ol the court.
This view was shared by
sources in Little Rock. Told of the
expected delay, Faubus said: "I'm
not surprised, it is about what
expected. I will leave it to the
people to judge the attitude of the
school board on this issue by their
actions.
Dispatches from Liltlc Rock re
port a popular belief there that
the school board could "out-fox'
the Supreme Court and open Cen
tral as an all - white school before
the Sept. 11 hearing. This, coupled
with a proposed law forbidding
student transfers between schools
after opening day, would sup

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP)-Presi
dent tisennower Saturday ex
pressed gratification that Russia
has agreed to join the United States
and Britain in talks on banning
nuclear weapons tests.
The President's reaction to So
viet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
Moscow announcement was re
ported to newsmen at Eisenhow
er's vacation headquarters by his
press secretary, James C. Hag-
erty.
Hagerty replied sure when
asked whether the United States
Check Points
Could Detect
Sneak Attack
WASHINGTON (AP) East
West experts officially reported
Saturday that sneak atomic wea
pons tests could be detected by 180
monitoring stations around the
world. About 10 would be in the
United States, 14 in Russia and 8
in Red China.
The report was the result of
seven weeks of secret talks among
scientists from the United States,
Russia, Britain, France, Canada,
Poland, Czechoslovakia and Ro
mania.
President Eisenhower called a
eek ago for diplomatic talks
starting Oct. 31 and looking to
ward an international agreement
lo halt nuclear weapons tests.
Russia accepted the date Friday
night. A Moscow Radio broadcast
said the dale was agreeable with
Premier Khrushchev and that he
favored Geneva as a conference
site.
Eisenhower had offered to sus-
pend nuclear tests unilaterally, as
Russia did five months ago, as
oon as the talks got underway.
The scientists' 25 - page report
was made public by the Slate De
partment. The report called for:
1. A network of control posts
around the globe. About 170 would
lie land-based and 10 aboard ships.
I hey would he manned by 30 de-
lection experts each and a total
staif of 9,000.
2. Creation of an international
control organ." It would run the
global system, pick the staff, se
lect the detection devices, studv
reports and senerntlvsee - tn it
that no nnfion chcaicd ofi any in-
icrnauonat nan on nuclear insts.
3. Use of weathor-reconnais-
sance aircraft to sample the air
ior radioactivity. They would rush
10 a suspicious area to sec if a
bomb had been set off or whether
it was only an earthquake.
1 ne report did not go into the
question ol whether there should
be an international ban on test
explosions.
As to whether cheating could be
detected, it said:
It is technically feasible to es
tablish, with the capabilities and
limitations indicated below, a
workable and effective control
system to detect violations of an
agreement on the worldwide sus
pension of nuclear weapons
tests."
The report said the 170 land
based posts would include 110 on
continents, 20 on large oceanic is
lands and 40 on small oceanic is
lands. The 10 ships would drift
about 1,200 to 2.000 miles apart
perhaps 6 or 7 in the Pacific and
the others in the South Atlantic
and Indian oceans.
School Plans Outlined
Labor Day is the last day of

would be willing to hold the talks
in Geneva as proposed by Khrush
chev. Russia accepted the U. S.
British suggestion the talks start
Oct. 31.
"The President is gratified that
the Soviet government has agreed
to start negotiations with us and
the British," Hagerty said at a
news conference.
"He hopes that as a result of
the negotiations starting Oct, 31
a workable agreement can be
reached between the three coun
tries. Hagerty talked with reporters
as Eisenhower, starting his first
full day of vacation in this resort
area, made ready for a round of
golf at the Newport Country Club.
The President was looking for
ward to a Labor Day weekend
free of work.
Hagerty also disclosed that
shortly after arrival from Wash
ington late Friday the President in
formally discussed the tense Far
East situation with Vice Adm.
Stuart lngersoll, one of his hosts
at the U. S. Naval Base in New
port. lngersoll, who now heads the
Navy War College, was chief of
the U. S. Defense Command in
the Formosa area in 1955-57. He
also is a former commander of
the U.S. 7th Fleet, which still is
patrolling Formosa Strait in the
current crisis as the Chinese Com
munists threaten an invasion of
the Nationalist-held offshore is
lands. Eisenhower and lngersoll re
viewed the admiral's experiences
in that area and also talked over
the present picture for 45 min
utes. -
Hagerty provided no detail re
garding the talks. But he said the
fact Mayor Henry Wilkinson of
Newport also was present under
scored the informal nature of the
discussion at Eisenhower's vaca
tion residence at Ft. Adams on
Narragansett Bay.
As for Russia s acceptance ol
the Western proposal to talks on
banning nuclear weapons tests,
Hagerty said in reply to a ques
tion that he docs not look for the
President to go to Geneva for at
least the first round of the con
ference.
Hagerty said the U.S, delega
tion prohably would be made up
largely of technical experts at tne
start. . - - ,
Asked whether a summit con
ference might develop later with
Eisenhower, BriHsh-Prlme Minis
ter Harold M'acmillan and Khrush
chev present, Hagerty replied he
could not sav at this time.
Khrushchev's agreement to join
in the talks was coupled witn
some indications the Soviet Union
might break its own current ban
on tests announced last March.
In proposing the talks last week,
Eisenhower stipulated the United
States is ready to suspend tests
for one vear starting Oct. 31, pro
vided Russia maintains its ban.
The President expressed hope a
12-month halt would lead to a
permanent ban as part of a gen
eral agreement.
Hagerty declined comment on
the Khrushchev indications Rus
sia might lift lis ban at least
temporarily pending any perma
nent halt.
The United States announced
Friday that this country will con
duct 10 more nuclear tests at the
Nevada Proving Grounds before
