Yank Ewes J Price Five Cents 12 Pages In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Politics: Reports to Republican national headquarters indicate that the GOP is the underdog in this year's elections. The reports suggest that the Grand Old Party hasn't come up with the fighting spirit an un derdog needs to offset the advan tage of the favorite in the politi cal race. Taking note of these reports, President Eisenhower held a po litical news conference in Washing ton this morning. He gave the par ty leaders a pep talk. He urged them to shake off their campaign apathy and wade into what re mains of the campaign with all Jheir might. Faint heart, he indicated, never won fair lady. Taking it by and large, that is good advice. If you want some thing, FIGHT for it. Put every thing you've got into the battle. That's about the only way to win. But Looking at the Republican party as a whole and forgetting local is sues in the various states and the various regions of the nation, one can't help wondering if the GOP as a national political party knows just what it wants at the present moment in history. It's hard to win a battle if you don't know exactly what you're fighting for. How's this for advice to the GOP: Get a PROGRAM. Be something. Be something distinctive. Don't try to outspend the spend ers. Don't try to out-New Deal the New Dealers. Size up the fu ture and decide what our country needs to make it great and pros perous and SECURE. Then fight for it. It will be better in the long run to lose on an issue you BELIEVE IN than to win on an issue you don't believe in. . What is such a program? It might be worth while to take a tip from France. In France a little while back, General De Gaulle entered the po litical picture at a momentvwhen the French were DRIFTING. He didn't pussyfoot. He came clear out of the underbrush. He told the French a lot of hard truths. He won a surprising victory. Weather FORECAST Klamath Falls and vicinity: Fair with cooling trend through Tuesday; some variable high clouds.

U.S. Welcomes WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States today formally wel comed Red China's offer to cease fire in the Formosa Strait and in dicated U.S. convoys will stop if the shooting slops. The cautious U.S. reaction was voiced in a statement by Christian R. Herter, acting as secretary of state in the absence of Secretary Dulles. Herter said the offer "seems to move in the direction of a cease fire" despite heavy propaganda against the United States. The Peiping broadcast of Sun day was being carefully studied by the United States in close con sultation with Nationalist China, he said. Herter said the United States hopes the Red offer to suspend bombardment of Nationalist-held offshore islands "foreshadows a permanent cessation of their armed attack." "Should this prove to be the case, there would seem to be no further necessity for the convoy of supply shipments to the off ihore Island positions." Herter said. "This question is being giv en careful consideration." Peiping announced a seven-day ceasefire, effective last midnight, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON, 1 " ' TWO DOLLAR BILLS were scheduled for purposeful distribution in Klamath Falls and vicinity when the two Oregon State Employes Associations at Oregon Tech decided to pay their personnel in two dollar bills in order that the community could better evaluate the importance of Oregon Tech.

LOUIS (AP) - The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals took un der advisement today a request for a permanent ban against transforming Little Rock high schools into private, all-white in stitutions. The three-judge court gave no indication when it will make a ruling. A hearing on a request by the National Assn. for the Advance ment of Colored People (NAACP) for an injunction lasted only about one hour. A government attorney said a temporary restraining order against leasing of the Little Rock school buildings to a private cor- M. T. WEATHERFORD, a wheat farmer who disagrees with Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson on more than one point, arrived in Klamath Falls for a two day visit . ''to meet people personally." The Arlington candidate for Congress is on the second of three complete swings through the Second District. Re ceptions, meetings and "a lot of handshaking" are in store for Weatherford Mon day and Tuesday. on the condition that the United States stop escorting Nationalist Chinese convoys to the embattled island. The cease-fire order was cou pled with a call to Nationalist President Chiang Kai-shek to ne gotiate directly on a settlement over Formosa and the offshore is lands. Chiang, in an interview with Cecil Brown of NBC, rejected any such direct negotiations with the Communists. He said the Peiping announcement was a "trick and deception," and he hoped the Unit ed States would continue to escort Nationalist supply convoys with its 7th Fleet warships. Sampson Shen. Chiang's infor mation director, declared the pur pose of Peiping's order was to create a split between Taipei and Washington and a split appeared to have been the result in the first reaction of officials in the two capitals. Shen declared the Nationalists distrusted the Communist cease fire and would ignore it. Ho said there would be no withdrawal of the Nationalist request for Amer ican escorts. Washington officials, however, privately expressed' their delight "J 1 MONDAY, OCTOBER 6. 1958 poration will remain in effect until the appeals court rules. The NAACP asked for an in junction against leasing the public school buildings at Little Rock or, as an alternative, an order re quiring the operation of any pri vate school plan on an integrated basis. The hearing moved along rapid ly, each attorney taking only 10 minutes or less to argue his points. The government entered the case as a friend of the court, sup porting the NAACP. The hearing was before Judges M. C. Matthes, Harvey M. John sen and Joseph W: Woodrough. Judges Johnsen and Woodrough, sitting at Omaha last Monday, is sued a temporary restraining or der against leasiug of the school buildings. This is the newest action in the long struggle between the U.S. government, Gov. Orval E. Fail- bus of Arkansas, and that state's segregationist forces. In a 25-page brief, U.S. at torneys emphasized two major points: 1. "The persistent and resource ful schemes which have been de vised for evading the decrees of the federal courts enforcing those rights" (to go to public school). 2. "Little Rock has become the testing ground of the rule of law and the capacity of the judicial process to give real meaning and effect to constitutional rights." They said if Central High in Lit tle Rock is allowed to reopen on a segregated basis, "the harmful ef fects both to the children and to the country could in no way be un done by the courts." The judges have been asked to make permament a temporary or der, issued by a federal court in Omaha last Monday, forbidding the leasing of Little Rock school: to a private organization which proposes to operate them, with state funds, as private, segregated schools. Pending the result of today's hearing, the Little Rock Private. School Corp. is going ahead, look-1 ing for money, teachers, and their interest in their surround buildings. Dr. T. J. Raney, prcsi-lings, a study report said today. Cease Fire Offer even at the limited and condition al cease-fire. Washington reports said a rejection of Peiping's an nouncement was out of the ques tion. These reports pointed out that with a cease-fire the reason for American escorts ceased to exist. Both President Eisenhower and Secretary ot State Dulles have em phasized the central policy of get ting a cease-firen Formosa Strait and of not bowing to force. In Washington, a link was seen between Peiping's order and a sharp statement by Soviet Pre mier Khrushchev Sunday declar ing the Soviet Union would not he drawn into an all-Chinese war on the side of Red China unless the United States attacked the Communist regime. As Washing ton saw it, Khrushchev was tug ging Peiping back from the brink Hiqh ranking Nationalist and American officers met to consid er the new situation. American sources said a recommendation would come from the conferences on whether to continue or with draw American escorts. An official of the U. S. Taiwan 'Formosa i Defense command said the final decision would prob ably be made by the National be Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 6198 dent of the corporation, says the private school system will open within the next few davs if the Circuit Court hands down the permanent injunction today. No briefs or intervening plead ings had been filed by attorneys for the Little Rock corporation or tne city s school board. Raney contended in Little Rock last week. "We firmly believe that any interference with our lease of the high school buildings is illceal and constitutes further usurpation 01 the right of the state of Arkan sas and the Little Rock school dis trict to exercise the right of own ership over their properties." Republic Plan Under Study PARIS (UPD Premier Charles de Gaulle today worked on his final decisions on how France will elect its new Fifth Republic par liament next month. The new constitution became law Sunday when its text was for mally published in the govern ment's Official Journal. Today Minister of Justice Michael Debre places the official seal on a copy embossed on vellum and files it with the previous 14 constitutions that France has had since 1789. A decree issued by the De Gaulle cabinet last week under the constitution's "strong -man" pow ers went into ctfect today giving police sweeping new authority to crush any fresh outbreaks of Al gerian terrorism in France. The terrorist front was rela tively quiet. De Gaulle returned to the cap ital Sunday night Irom a trium phant four-day tour of Algeria and France. HELPS MENTAL PATIENTS LONDON (UPD Television sets in mental homes have some times started patients on the road to recovery by re-awakening etirity Council in Washington, and would depend upon basic Amen can interests" with "strong con fideration" given to the National ist viewpoint. The tact that the Nationalist convoy arriving at Qucmoy early today was accompanied to the three-mile limit off the island by American warships did not mean a decision had been made, it was emphasized here. Officers said the convoy had been formed and was on its way before Red C hina s defense mm ister, Peng Teh-huai, announced that the Red guns were being si lenced alter 44 days of bombard ment. Peng said the halt was ordered out of "humanitarian considera tions" fnf the 130.000 civilians and troops on the Quemoys, whom he pictured as suffering from hunger and cold. Nationalist officials said, how ever, that Peng s statement via Peiping radio was a smokescreen to cover preparations for a big offensive against the Quemoys and possibly even an invasion. One Nationalist official said the Reds needed a breathing spell to re place supplies and worn gun bar rels that have fired 474,907 shells at the small islands since Aug. 23. Pope Paralyzed; Rallying CASTEL GANDOLFO. Italy (API Pope Pius XII suffered a stroke today. A medical bulletin tonight said the Pope's condition later "appreciably improved." The Pope weakened suddenly during the night after showing im provement trom an attack ot gastritis, complicated by hiccups. The hiccups that had bothered him for several days vanished. Then at 8:30 a.m. he suffered a circulatory cerebral attack, a bulletin from his physicians re ported. Unotlicial sources said tne Fope was paralyzed and could not be moved from his summer palace to Vatican City, where facilities for treatment are better. Dr. Antonio Basbarrini, a spe cialist from Bologna, was called to the Pope s bedside. This under scored the gravity of the condi tion of the spiritual ruler of near ly half a billion Catholics. At about noon, according to un official reports, the Pope roused briefly from his coma, opened his eyes and murmured a few words. Hunter Hits Klamath Man A Klamath Falls man was criti cally wounded and a Lakeview woman received lesser injuries while hunting near Lakeview on Sunday.

Moore, hunting in a parly of five, was standing on a private logging road and fired into the brush, the sheriff said. His gun, a 270 caliber rifle, was equipped with a four-power Weaver scope, Elliott added. The accident happened about :10 p.m. Sunday while the Rich ardson party was hunting about three miles south ot Bowers Creek, northwest of Lakeview. It took nearly an hour to get Richardson into Sgt. Morts panel truck and to (he hospital, the sheriff said. A plane was dispatched to Klam ath Falls for Richardson's wife. Mrs. Norma Richardson, a clerk in Klamath County court. An ap peal for blood donors for trans fusions brought an immediate re sponse from some 20 men in the area, hospital authorities said. Richardson responded to treat ment, according to the three doc tors who were attending him and was improved this morning to the point they said he could be moved to Portland. A Mercy Flight came to Lakeview for Richardson this morning and he was being flown to Providence Hospital in Portland for special treatment. Yard Orders Cyprus Move LONDON (UPD Scotland Yard today ordered Its "terror twins" to fly to Cyprus to "get" the elusive Colonel Grivas. leader of the anti - British EOKA ter rorist organization. Chief Detective Inspector Thomas Butler and Detective In spector Peter Vibart, two of the Yard's top detectives, were sent to Cyprus police to find Grivas and smash EOKA. "Both these men have unparal leled experience in the art of interrogation," a spokesman for Scotland Yard said. "They know when a man is lying. They know the tricks which put criminals off their guard. If they are success ful, it could be that one or more Yard men might join them." CORRECTION .1. B.

" This was the second serious ill ness in four years for the pontiff. News of the latest illness came in the 19th year of the Pope's reign. It halted all administrative activity ot the church at the Vati can. Vatican sources said death might come swiftly or the condi tion could continue for a long time. In the event of long inca pacity, cardinals of the church stationed in Rome would take over many of the duties. Khrushchev Defines Aid To Red China MOSCOW (UPD Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev said Sun day the Soviet Union would go to uie aid ot Communist China only if the United States attacked the mainland. The restatement of Soviet policy was accompanied by a declaration that President Eisenhower dis torted and wrongly interpreted So viet Formosa policy in his press conference last week. The Eisenhower statement to which Khrushchev took exception nccording to the Soviet lass news agency was this: "If that (the Formosa crisis) is civil war, why then did Russia say through the medium of Mr. Khrushchev s message that she is ready to take part in such a war? If that is civil war, it means that I am at a loss to understand the real meaning of the word." Khrushchev said the "clear and definite" Soviet position was that Russia would stand by Communist China in case of attack but would not otherwise "take part in civil war in China." Khrushchev said "such tricks (by Eisenhower) are guided not by the interests of peace but for the interests of a certain narrow group. . .which,, for profit, follows a course of gi owing aggression and preparing a new war." "The U.S.S.R. will come to the help of the Chinese peoples repub lic if the latter is attacked from without: Speaking more con cretely, if the United States at tacks the Chinese peoples repub lic, the statement said.
