The fire was described as HEAVY. Followup on the hot spot: Former President Truman, tak ing his daily constitutional in New York, tells the reporters who tag him regularly that the Dulles for eign policy is to blame for it. He adds that the crisis in the Far EasJ is the result of the Eisen howif administration's surrender In Korea. (The Korean armistice was signed in 1953.) "T h e chickens." HST added, "are just coming home to roost." Hmmmmmm. c Let's go back farther than 1933. When the Republicans were on the outside looking in, they blamed the ACHESON foreign policy (Mr. Acheson was Mr. Truman's secre tary of state in those days) for the START of the Korean war. They claimed that if Acheson hadn't practically told the com mies we wouldn t fight for Korea there would have been no Korean war. What's wrong? Who is to blame? What shall we do? I wouldn't know. But I have the feeling that Amer ican foreign policy now and for a number of years past is somehow out of tune with the DESIRES of the American people. If that is true, something ought to be done about it. If a nation is to survive, its foreign policy must be kept IN TUNE with the basic desires of the people, foreign pol icy involves such life and death issues as whether or not we will go to war and if we do go to war what we are going to war FOR. We weren't happy with our for eign policy in Mr. Truman s day, We aren't happy with it now. The logical conclusion seen.s to be that we aren't happy with the funda mentals of our foreign policy. AVfcet, shall we do NOty? That question isn't easy to ansyer. But this much is reasonably aear: Political campaign years, which Involve a partisan struggle for power, are not the ideal time for bitter partisan wrangles over tor eign policy. That runs the terrible risk of leading our enemy to be lieve we are weak and disunited. Realizing that fact, we did the best we could in Mr. Truman's and Mr. Acheson's day. That's about what we'll have to do now. But SOME DAY we should give prayerful consideration to an American foreign policy that is closer to the desires of the Ameri can people who will have to pay the price if we go to war.

The boy suffered a fatal skull fracture, but the two men escaped serious injury. A motorist who crossed Willa mette Pass Sunday night reported a heavy snow fall on the snowy roads. The Weather Bureau said the Police Probe Slaying Of 4 NEW YORK (AP)-What dead ly impulse drove policeman James McDermott to the cold-blooded slaughter of four men in a Broad way restaurant? Did injuries he suffered last year in a car accident twist his mind with destructive urges? Did he bear a grudge against the victims? One was a convicted loan shark and two of the others also had police records. I H?d be . been rinkin??. , j Police investigated these angles today to try to uncover some ex planation for the 34-year-old pa trolman's violent outburst in the Pic-a-Rib Restaurant. McDermott himself could not supply the answers immediately. Jle lay speechless in critical condition on a hospital bed. His body was riddled with five bullet wounds inflicted by other police men, who waged a spectacular gun duel with him on midtown streets as he fled. Two of the capturing policemen were from McDermott s home precinct. McDermott, married and the fa ther of four, was off duty when he entered the restaurant on Broadway near 53rd Street about 1:45 a. m. A few minutes later, without warning, he drew two guns and blazed away at helpless patrons. Four men fell mortally wounded. McDermott crashed through the glass paneling of a door and fled. Pursuing policemen opened fire, hitting him live times. He re turned the fire, wounding one of the pursuers, before he collapsed. unconscious, about three blocks from the restaurant.

Trying to avoid a worse tan gle with the smaller vehicle, Sex ton veered to the left of High way 97, but went off the shoulder of the road and slammed into the grocery before the truck keeled over on its side. The post office part of the struc lure, together with the equipment it housed, was virtually a total loss, though apparently no mail was destroyed. The grocery store room adjoining was sheared off the building; and its contents lost Shulmire was taken by Peace Ambulance to Klamath Valley Hos pital, for treatment of broken ribs and a shoulder injury. He was re portedly "doing fine" Monday morning. Sexton and another driver of the semi, M. K. Midler, who was asleep in a bunk at the time I the accident occurred, were un injured.

(AP) Little Rock today lays the corner stone of a bold program to evade school integration with registra tion of students in a private, seg regated school for white seniors. Volunteer workers labored al most around the clock for the past three days, readying a 32-class-room building in which an esti mated 500 students will realize their first opportunity to attend school this year. They will not have to pay tuition at this time. Actual classroom work .will be gin Tuesday, just 39 days after Gov. Orval E. Faubus invoked a new state law to shut down public high sthoois in the face of sn im mediate integration order from the U.S. Supreme Court. The Little Rock Private School Corp. will finance the new school with funds from public subscrip tion. The building, formerly occupied by a University of Arkansas grad uate facility, was leased only Thursday. Desks, blackboards and other furniture were moved in over the weekend. W. C. Brashears, school super intendent for the corporation, said SHOOTING HOURS: OREGON October 21 OPEN 5:54 CLOSE 5:20 CALIFORNIA October 21 OPEN CLOSE 5:51 5:21 1 :i . - - - .V classes will open for Kith and 11th graders.

"But we haven t forgot the underclassmen We're working toward a lease on a building for them, hut 1 can't say now when we can take them." Availability of qualified teachers continued as -the main stumbling block. By scraping the barrel for retired educators and those who had voluntarily left the profession, Brashears found enough teachers to slat! a iaculty for seniors . The entire faculties and admin istrative staffs of the closed Inch schools are prohibited from work ing lor the private corporation by a lederal court restraining order, the same order which forced the private school corporation to aban don its original plan of using the closed public school buildings for its classes. Only basic courses for college entrance will be taught initially at the new school, which lacks the modern facilities and extensive equipment of the closed schools. An estimated 3,600 high school students, white and Negro, were left without schools after the Fau bus closing order. An estimated 000 pupils, including 200 Negroes, since have transferred to schools outside the Little Rock district. No provision has been made for private schools for Negroes, but the Board of Trustees of Arkan sas Baptist College for Negroes meets this afternoon to consider the possibility of operating a high school branch.

ARROWSMIT1I DENVER (AP) President Ei senhower flics to Los Angeles to day for a campaign speech billed by aides as a hard-hitting effort to bolster Republican candidates plagued by a party split. Resuming a 5,300-mile cross country tour after a quiet week end, the President was pictured as ready to shift gears and do some plugging during a two-day visit in calitornia. The state is one of the nation's major political battlegrounds this year.

Catholic Church Cardinals Begin Election Procedure By FRANK BRUTTO VATICAN CITY (AP)-The car dinals of the Roman Catholic Church today began the final week of preparations for election of a new pope. The nine days of funeral serv ices for Pope Pius XII ended Sun day in St. Peter's Basilica with a two-hour solemn Requiem Mass attended by U. S. Secretary of State Dulles and other diplomats and representatives of 50 non Cnmniunist nations. Tho arrival Sunday night of Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski from Poland brought to 47 the number of princes of the church assem bled in Rome for the secret con clave which will convene next Sat urday to elect a new ruler of the church.

A Nationalist spokesman said no American ships were in the beach area. The Communists in ending the cease-fire had charged U.S. warships had broken the truce by escorting Nationalist supplies to Quemoy Sunday night. The Americans flatly denied this saying they had only "conducted a small-boat operation . . . lifting Chinese Nationalist supply craft through international waters," at least 15 miles off Quemoy. The Nationalist Defense Minis try said the Communists had re sumed shelling at 4 p.m., 50 min utes after Peiping Radio had broadcast orders canceling the cease-fire.

His mission was to clear up misunderstandings with Nationalist President Chiang Kai-shek and lay the base for a more substantial cease-fire in For mosa Strait. Red Chinese Defense Minister Peng Teh-huai gave as his reason for resuming the bombardment a charge that U.S. warships had en croached on Chinese territorial waters Sunday night in escorting Nationalist ships to Quemoy. Shelling must thcrcforo be resulted as a mqasure of punish ment," the Communist order said. The U.S., Taiwan declared the , charge was' completely untrue.
