The United States called the
School Crisis
Moves Closer
To Showdown
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Southern school crisis Sat
urday moved another step toward
a showdown test between power
o( the federal government and lo
cal public opinion.
Federal authorities, taking the
position that resisting areas must
eccept racially integrated public
schools or no public schools at all,
adopted a waiting policy.
They counted on pressures f
- aroused parents in Arkansas and
Virginia areas where schools have
been closed after being ordered to
integrate.
In Little Rock, 61 attorneys in
cluding the son of Rep. Brooks
Hays (D-Ark) signed a public
statement saying that in their
opinion the city's four closed high
schools cannot legally be opened
on a private segregated basis.
The statement was ir the form
of a paid advertisement to appear
in Monday's editions of the Arkan
sas Gazette and Arkansas Demo
crat. The text was released to the
press Saturday.
In Little Rock, a group of pro
segregation mothers launched an
attempt to remove from office
four members of the Little Rock
School Board who have clashed
with Gov. Orval E. Faubus over
his massive resistance to force in
tegration. In Virginia, where Gov. J. Lind
say Almond Jr., has closed three
white schools and may close six
more next week, the situation ap
peared at an impasse. One attor
ney said, "It looks like an impos
sible situation."
It has become apparent that the
government plans no immediate
move in either Arkansas or Vir
ginia and will take no action prior
to tne oept. 17 relerendum
Little Rock.
In Washington, a government
spokesman commented, "We are
under no pressures in this connec
tion. The pressures are on the
other side, where local school
closures have aroused parents
who want to see their children in
school. There is bound to be a
growing realization that a choice
must be made, and without too
great delay, on having legally
operated schools, or no schools at
all."
Mishap Kills
Local Woman
One woman was killed and her
four 17-year-old girl passengers are
hospitalized in the Ashland General
Hospital as a result of a one
car accident near Lincoln on State
Highway 66 about 5:33 a.m. Satur
day. Mrs. Bessie Marjorie Smith, 39,
1921 Sargent Street Klamath Falls,
was driving a 1954 Lincoln sedan,
returning to Klamath Falls from s
Mcdtord ballgame when the ac
cident occurred, according to in
vestigating officers. One of the
girls, riding in the front seat, is
said to have reached over to turn
on the radio dial and inadvertent
ly switched olf the headlights. The
car left the highway, crashed into
a tree some 15 feet from the shoul
der and rolled 50 feet off the road.
With Mrs. Smith were Helen
Kathrine Smith; Judith Marie
Frasier, 1237 California; Josephine
Ann Krok, 703 Lincoln, and Ethel
Florez, 426 North Seventh Street.
They said that at the hospital
one of the girls reported that the
car's lights had failed momentar
ily, and when they came back
on a large tree loomed directly
in front of the vehicle. Officers
noted too, that there were no skid
marks from the highway to the
shoulder of the road.
Former French Colonies
Backing Algerian Rebels
PARIS AP) The former
French colonies of Morocco and
Tunisia put Premier de Gaulle's
government into a diplomatic
quandry Saturday by backing the
new Algerian rebel government in
its war against France.
The two newly independent na
tions flanking France's big North
African territory defied the
French warning that any country
recognizing the Exile Republic of
Algeria would be committing -n
unfriendly act.
If De uaulle follows up the
warning by breaking diplomatic
relations with Tunisia and Mo
rocco, he will eliminate them as
possible intermediaries in any fu
ture peace talks to end the 4-year-old
Algerian fight for independ
ence. France has refused up to now
to negotiate with rebel leaders, al
though President Habib Bourguiba
ef Tunisia has always hoped to

a peaceful settlement. Bourguiba

Kremlin leader's tough 13 page
letter "unacceptable under estab
lished international practice" and
ordered the American charge
d'affaires in Moscow to return it
to the Soviet government.
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said at Eisenhow
er s vacation headquarters neither
he nor the State Department can
recall any precedent for rejection
of a Soviet note by the United
States.
In his letter to Eisenhower, re
ceived by the President Saturday
morning, Khrushchev warned that
the United States must abandon
Formosa or face "expulsion" by
Communist China.
Referring to the Soviet note, the
White House statement said:
"This communication is replete
with false accusations: it is
couched in language that is abu
sive and intemperate; it indulges
in personalities; it contains inad
missible threats.
All of this renders the com
munication unacceptable, under
established international practice.
Accordingly, it has been re
jected, and the United States
charge d'affaires in Moscow has
been ins'ructed to return the com
munication to the Soviet govern
ment. In a separate, second statement.
the White House called it "tragic
that Soviet military despotism
should support the use of force to
achieve expansionist ends" of Red
China. The statement termed the
Soviet viewpoint as expressed by
Knrusncnev grotesque and dan
gerous.
In response to questions, Hager
ty said both statements were per
sonally approved by the President
and that he personally had ordered
the Khrushchev note fired back to
Moscow.
Steelworkers
Unite Front
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP;-
The United Steel Workers Union
presented a united front to Lie
basic steel industry Saturday after
voting unanimous confidence in
its leader and crushing opposition
to his program.
David J. McDonald, 55-year-old
usw president, emerged from the
ninth constitutional convention,
which ended Saturday, with tight
control over the 1.2-million-mem-
ber union. ' '
In beating down the opposition
at every turn, the great majority
of the convention s 3,523 dele
gates finally recommended expul
sion for the protest committee
leaders.
The opposition was headed by
Donald L. Kanck, a Mcheesport,
Pa., mill worker. He said he and
others in the committee will fight
the expulsion move.
In its final session, the giant
union adopted several resolutions
calling for improvements in the
existing health and welfare pro
gram.
One resolution recommended a
broad study of the health plan
and suggested setting up union
operated hospitals and clinics in
areas where the study would show
a need for them. The resolution
said:
We are confident that a united
and determined membership can
win the goal of full medical secur
ity for all steelworkers through
the process of collective bargain
ing.
The union indicated it expected
the money for the medical im
provements to come from com
pany funds already established for
medical and hospital care plans.
The resolution was one of some
5,200 acted on by the delegates,
many of them demanding a wage
increase and more benefits in the
contract talks with basic steel
firms next spring.
McDonald referred to the pos
sibility of a long and bitter strike
several times during the conven
tion. At one point, he said "The
industry will try to ruin me if
need be to weaken us at the
negotiating table."

Outlined For Rotary Club
By FLOYD L. WYNNE
"Withdrawing members of the
Klamath Tribe should receive their
first payment in late November or
early December," Earl Wilcox told
questioners at the Friday noon
meeting of the Rotary Club at the
Willard Hotel.
Wilcox was introduced by Tom
Watters, Management Specialist,
who styled himself "a black Re
publican." Watters outlined brief
ly the setting up of the Manage
ment Specialists and summed up
by stating, "We black Republicans
now find ourselves tabbed as new
dealers."
Wilcox carefully outlined prog
ress of the termination plan from
its inception, pointing out that the
Management Specialists had been
instructed to do four things (1)
make an appraisal, (2) hold nn
election to determine wishes of
tribal members, (31 select areas
of reservation to be sold and (4)
set up a plan of management for
those members not electing to
withdraw.
He pointed out that 25 per cent
of all the forest .anas in the Kiam
ath Basin are in the reservation.
"Fire billion board feet have been
removed from the reservation in
the past 47 years," he said. "This

Under terms of the first ter

"To have done so," he stated.
"would have removed timber vi
tally needed by local industries,
and would have drastically re
duced timber prices."
Speaking of the recently enacted
amendments to the termination
law, Wilcox enumerated the four
things it will accomplish. He said
(1) it will give a time extension
from 1960 to 1961 for the sales
of timber, (2) permit the govern
ment to acquire title to the Klam

to bo sold has been divided into
large units which will be sold only
lor sustained yield purposes, and
30 to 40 smaller units which will
be sold with no restrictions.
The smaller units will bo sold
within the next 45 days, he slated
This will provide funds for with
drawing members for the next
year to year and a half," he said,
and by then, some of the large
units should have been sold.
"It is quite possible." he warned
lhat no private buyers will agree
to purchase the large economic
units because of the sustained yield
restriclions that go with them."
He also pointed out that the re
cent sale of some timber has pro
vided adequate funds for those
tribal members remaining in the
management plan for the next five
years.
Indians remaining in Hie man
agement plan should receive
ibout $1,400 per year for the next
live years, he said, while the vir
gin timber stands were being cut.
When they switch to the cut-
over areas, he continued, that
annual income may drop to $800
to $900. '
Wilcox pointed out lhat the con
eluding act of the Management
Specialists will be to arrange a
trust agreement for the trib.'i
members remaining in the man
agement plan.
Three banks Jiavc indicated
interest in handling such a trust,"
Wilcox said.
This, he pointed out, would end
government control over, all the
Klamath Indians. The trust would
be subject to a reviewal and vote

more of the remaining members

Gen. De Gaulle
Wins Acclaim
PARIS (AP) Premier Charles
de Gaulle was acclaimed by thou
sands on a political swing through
Brittany Saturday, but police and
soldiers guarded against possible
Algerian nationalist attacks.
Stumping in support of his new
constitution, De Oaulle was out
wardly unperturbed and at one
point left his party in Rennes to
shake hands with crowds lining
the streets.
Nevertheless, heeled up police
forces were spotted all along the
route. At Bordeaux, next stop on
De Gaulle's flying weekend trip,
police were spotted every 25 yards
along his proposed route.
Emphasizing his role as a pol
itician, the general toured in a
gray, double breasted suit rather
than the wartime uniform he fa
vored earlier when his primary
concern was to re-establish gov
ernment authority in troubled
France.
New Proposal
Offered UAW
By Auto Firm
DETROIT (AP) General Mo
tors, object of a Sept. 30 strike
deadline by the United Auto Work
ers, Saturday offered the UAW a
new three-year proposal which it
said contained 19 specific improve
ments.
The UAW, which Friday night
announced it also would strike
Chrysler if no contract agreement
is reached soon, got the new con
tract offer from GM as ncgotia
lions resumed Saturday.
GM said the new contract would
he effective as of Sept. 1 ard
would carry three annual pay in
creases totaling at least 21 cents
per hour during the life of the con
tract. The first increase would be
effective as of last July 1.
GM also proposed 8 cents an
hour additional for skilled trade
workers and an increase of 3
cents an hour in cost-of-living al
lowances to compensate for cost-of-living
increases during the last
four months that GM workers
have been without a contract.
GM told the union "a prompt
settlement on the basis proposed
by GM cannot fail to make a vital
ly important contribution to eco
nomic recovery at this critical
lime. On the other hand, it is ob-
ious that a major automobile
strike would have the opposite ef-
lect.
There was no immediate com
ment from the union on the offer.
UAW President Walter P. Rcu-
ther assumed personal command
of the UAW's negotiations with
Chrysler Saturday and told news
men that "If Chrysler would get
down to serious collective bargain
ing we could have an agreement
by Monday."
Chrysler declined comment on
Reulher's announcement that the
union s 25-man international
ccutive board had sanctioned
strikes against GM and Chrysler.
GM also declined comment.
The Chrysler strike time was
left to the discretion of Reuther
and other ton UAW officials in
light of what progress if any is
made in ellorts to reach contract
agreement.
In the case of GM, the unionhn0 ground.
was much firmer. It set a Tues
day, Sept. 30, deadline for the
walkout. Reuther saiff llin GM
problem is much tougher since it
has four times as many auto
plants as Chrysler and hundreds
of unsolved grievances in local
GM plants.
Keulher made it plain the UAW
would not accept at GM or Chrys
ler carbon copies of the three-
year contract worked out with
Ford Wednesday. That agreement
came after a seven-hour strike in
volving Ofl.OOO Ford workers.
The UAW chief also said that
if the union should get gains at
Chrysler or GM over and above
those obtained from Ford, it would
not go back to Ford and ask for
further concessions. "We made a
contract with Ford and we'll slick
by its forms, he said.
