U OF ORZSVA LIB3ARJ E'JUS.NS, OR. 6-1-59 In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Problem news: In Little Rock yesterday, more than 230 white seniors began class es in a makeshift private high chool opened by a citizens croup. The school, it is asserted, will be financed by private contributions. More than 3,000 high school stu dents have been idle for the past seven weeks because the four Lit tle Rock high schools have never opened. Arkansas Governor Fau bus kept them closed to keep them from being integrated. Question: Who will be the sufferers? This, I think, is the answer: 1. The CHILDREN. 2. The state of Arkansas and the South, If it follows Arkansas' example. An educational system based on private schools must inevitably limit education to the children of the better-to-do. It can't be other wise. Neither the state of Arkan sas nor the South as a whole can afford to limit education to those pi its children whose parents can 'afford the- cost of private school ing. If such a thing is attempted, the South will fail behind the rest of the country. The world changes. The South must change with it. jOr suffer the consequences. Back to politics. If I might be permitted a pious and impartial word about the slam-bang politicking in California in which the GOP is currently expected to take a bad licking I think the GOP troubles there track back to TOO MUCH POLI TICKING by the Republicans last spring. They gave the appearance then of getting together and deciding among themselves WHO' SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RUN FOR THIS AND WHO SHOULD BE AL LOWED TO RUN FOR THAT. The voters, acting traditionally, didn't like it regarding the choosing of their officials at THLIR business, rather than the business of the politicians. When the people don't like what is going on, they are apt to give expression to their displeasure in their voting. We had an example of that in Oregon when at the last minute Douglas McKay resigned as Sec retary of the Interior and rushed back to Oregon to file for the Republican nomination for U.S. senator. He won the Republican nomina tion by a considerably narrowed majority but lost in the fall to a Democrat. Mr. McKay is a good man, with a long record of excel lent service to his state. But it seemed to the voters, under the circumstances, that some political thimhle-rigging had been going on back in Washington. This feeling was reflected in the voting. Treasury Men Reject Plea WASHINGTON (UPI)-Treasury officials and the chairman of the Republican National Congressional Committee today rejected Com merce Secretary Sinclair Weeks' plea for a national sales tax on manufacturers. They asserted that the adminis tration will not recommend such legislation despite Weeks' an nouncement that he will try to sell the President on the idea. Weeks told reporters last Satur day that he will urge the ad ministration to include in its leg islative proposals next January a board uniform excise tax levied at the factory. He said federal revenue is too dependent on the income tax which falls off sharply in times of economic re cession. Weeks emphasized he was speaking only for himself. Never theless, the wide publicity given his statement in the closing weeks of the congressional election cam paign caused some dismay among GOP campaign strategists, lhey fcCred voters might tend to as sociate Republican congressional candidates with Weeks' advocacy of a new, and unpopular tax. Rep. Richard M. Simpson (R- Pa.l, chairman of the Republican National Congressional Commit tee, took the lead in publicy re pudiating Weeks proposal. France Dampens Talk Chances UNITED NATIONS. N.Y.

Alter a 214-hour meetin2 be tween Dulles and Chiang, a State uepartment spokesman said that "Mr. Dulles is not here to twist anybody's arm or apply any heat or pressure. While the talks progressed, the Chinese Communists put their shore guns into action for the sec ond day but on a much lighter scale, ihe Uelense Ministry said up to noon only 362 shells had hit yiiemoy, compared witn more than 11.500 Monday. But there was no doubt the ab rupt Red decision to end the Com munist-imposed cease-fire had an important bearing on the Dulles- Chiang discussions. Joseph Greene, special assistant to Dulles, said Dulles' first con ference with Chiang was "a stock taking of the present situation.' He said the political and military situation was being assessed along with Communist propaganda. Greene took this tack on reports that the United States might bring pressure on Chiang to cut down the off-shore islands in the hope of obtaining a permanent cease- fire. r He said applying heat or pres sure would not be in tune with the relationship of mutual trust and coniidcnce of the two coun tries as allies." Vice President Chen Cheng. Chiang's right - hand man, de clared that to cut the size of the garrisons or to pull out of the off shore islands would "definitely lead to a large-scale war. General Tells Atomic Policy WASHINGTON (AP) Gen. Nathan F. Twining said today that U.S. national policy "calls for the use of nuclear weapons in any case where such use would be ad vantageous to us." The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff added that national strate gy calls for fighting an enemy "on our terms and not on his." Twining, in an address to the Assn. of the U.S. Army Conven tion cautioned the armed services against beliefs that only one mili tary service should be built up for any particular type of war, gen eral or limited. In an apparent effort to offset Army pleas for greater airlift and larger manpower, 1 wining said that airlift, though obviously desir able, had been accorded a rela tively lower priority by the joint chiets. Work Dispute Pacts Noted DETROIT (AP) General Mo-I tors today announced three more settlements of local-level labor disputes, bringing to 203,226 the number of its United Auto Work ers employes back on the job. GM, still about 70.000 short of its normal UAW production force, rolled its assembly lines with 1959 model cars for the second day since a strike shut down its na tionwide network of plants Oct. 2. The new settlements involved 1,470 workers at a Fisher Bodv Plant in Norwood, Ohio; 2,100 at a Chevrolet Assembly Plant in Tarrytown. N.Y.; and 650 at a Brown-Lipc-Chapin Parts Plant at Elyria, Ohio. GM and the UAW now have reached settlements in 87 bargain ing units. Chrysler Corp. was troubled with a strike that idled 1.000 at a parts plant in Detroit. The cause of the walkout was not learned immediately. aiouscd fears today for the chances of the Geneva arms talks opening Oct. 31.

A third day of dry weather was seen for southern Texas, and the lower Rio Grande River contin ued to subside from its record flood stage. The river, which at one time spread to a width of six miles, narrowed to three and one-halt miles at Abraham, Tex. The drop in the river enabled hundreds of persons to return to their flood damaged homes, but an estimated 6,000 persons, most of them on the Mexican side of the river, still were homeless. Cool air in the West pushed as far south as the Mexican border in Arizona and Mexico during the night and as far east as Minne sota, Iowa and Kansas. Lowest readings in the cool air were in the 20s and 30s over the Rockies and plateau states, but from there temperatures rose to the 40s in the Dakotas and south through Kansas with 50s common near the edge of the cool air. Wind gusts of 30 to 40 miles per hour whipped the northern and central plains. Rainfall along the Carolina coasts dumped amounts averag ing about one-half inch. to production of atomic weapons. Soviet Deputy foreign Minister Valerian Zorin said he interpreted Moch s statement t mean France "does not intend to contribute to the reduction of the atomic threat or take any concrete steps in the field of disarmament. Some diplomats felt Zorin might try to depict the French position as evidence of Western bad faith on the eve of the Geneva talks. The French will not take part in the talks, but they usually work closely with the other two Western powers on such questions.

KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON', TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1958 Sergeant Denies Charges At Army Court-Martial FT. JACKSON, S.C. (AP)-Sgt. George Sovie of Ogdensburg, N.Y. denied at his general court-martial today seven charges of recruit maltreatment. He admitted he ordered two young privates to eat dollar bills. The greying, 30-year-old purple heart veteran said he had occa sionally made recruits hoist foof- lockers, weighing about 38 pounds, as penalties for violating disci pline. He admitted also that on instructions from a commissioned officer he ordered two recruits to eat dollar bills. Sovie denied, however, that he had a trainee dipped head first into a mess hall grease trap and said he had never ordered recruits to jump bodily into the pit of slimy grease. The, government rested its case against Sovie at the outset of the second day of the court-martial. Defense Atty. William Townsend of Columbia put two captains and another sergeant on the stand as character witnesses before ovie testified in his own behalf. Capt. Robert J. Crossland of Boston, Mass., and Capt. Ernest W. Moore of Havana, Fla., testi fied that they considered Sgt. Sovie one of the finest noncom missioned officers ever to serve under them. Sgt. Leslie G.

Blabber-Mouth Mynah Bird Convicted Of Being Pest LONDON (AP) A mynah who couldn't keep his mouth shut has been convicted of being a major nuisance. The Magistrate's Court at near by Kingston-on-Thames was told the talking bird made a noise like squealing brakes, sang "Pop Goes the Weasel" and other ditties and whistled at the girls. In the respectable suburb of Esher, on London's southern fringe, that was toa much for the neighbors. The mynah, a tye of starling, lived in an aviary with 21 other tropical birds at tke bottom of po tato merchant John Luttmer's gar den. The bird was not brought to court, but to the stand came neighbors to imitate its cries. Middle-aged John Puddy "a ird lover all my life" described he mynah call as "Ou. ow, ow," lecidedly raucous.

Command announced to day that a Communist guard in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea killed his captain and deserted to the South. The guard, Pfc. Kim Yung Chul, 20, was picked up last Friday by an American lieutenant. The North Korean told investi gators for the U.N. Command that he had been on guard duty at the entrance to the Panmunjom joint security area where Commu nist and U.N. representatives meet on armistice matters. He said he first suggested to his captain that they both desert hut the captain was unwilling. Kim said he then fired at the officer three times, killing him, and fled. No specific reason for the sol dier's defection to the South was given.

Bonelli Nears Extradition MEXICO CITY (UPD-The first phase of formal extradition pro ceedings against William G. Bon clli, former California Board of Equalization member,' was com pleted today with reading of a lengthy notification document. Bonelli, under indictment in Riv erside and jan Diego counties for illegal solicitation of campaign funds, appeared before Judge Mi guel LaValle Fuentes in Criminal Court Monday when he heard the judge read the final section of the 120-page document. Bonelli now has until Thursday to enter a plea of guilty or inno cent to charges in the two Califor nia Grand Jury indictments. His attorney, Gonzalo Baranda, said he would attempt to block extradition categories in Mexico and the U. S., and therefore, the case does not fall within provi sions of the extradition treaty be tween the two countries. Council Reviews Mills Traffic The traffic p.ittern in Mills Ad-i rlition and the parking of delivery trucks were the principal topics ol discussion at the regular Mon day night session of the city coun cil. A delegation ot residents from Mills Addition appeared before the council to ask the status of the traffic study of their area. Robert Heath, 2404 Kadcliffe. acted as spokesman for the group. He reviewed his knowledge of the studies to date, pointing out that at one large meeting the res idents of the area had decided upon East-West through streets and North-South slops. "Some per son changed this.'1 he charged. He lamented what he termed "buck passing" on the issue. Others in the delegation ex pressed their views and suctr alternating stop s.tjns and otVr ideas.

They fear in Demos Plastered By Eisenhower In California Talk By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH LOS ANGELES (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower lambasted Dem ocrats Monday night as political radicals and called for an end to Republican "family bickering" in the party drive to capture control of Congress. The President flies north to San Francisco today for two more campaign addresses after making perhaps the hardest hitting speech of his political career to a cheer ing crowd of about 6,500 GOP workers in Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium. In a peppery, fighting mood for the first time on this coast-to-coast tour, Eisenhower sailed into the Democrats as a party "hope lessly split right down the mid dle." He touched off a round of laughter in saying they have polit ical schizophrenia, or split per sonality. "The opposition record," said Eisenhower, "is one of ever high er taxes of dollars worth 50 Clerics Draw For Rooms VATICAN CITY (AP) - Forty- one cardinals of the Roman Cath olic Church drew lots today for the three-room cells they will oc cupy from Oct. 25 until they elect a new Pope. The draw was set to favor the most elderly and the more ailing of the cardinals. They automatic ally drew the apartments in the closed conclave quadranglo near est to the Sistine Chapel, where votes will be cast, and the Borgia Guardroom, where meals will be served. For the others, however, it was an even chance. The rooms have been prepared for the past week and will not be ready until Saturday, when the cardinals are locked in conclave. Each cell consists of a bedroom for the cardinal, a study, and a room for his clerical aide. Jose Maria Caro Cardinal Rod riguez, archbishop ot Santiago, Chile, who at 92 Is the oldest1 member of the Sacred College, received one of the favored loc tions. Martial Law Hits Thailand BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) Marshal Sarit Thanarat once more was in active control of Thailand's government today, ap parently as the result of friction within the army group long domi nant in the Southeast Asia king dom. Sarit turned out the civilian gov ernment he had installed Jan. 1 and proclaimed martial law Mon day night. The constitution was suspended and the National As sembly dissolved. An olficial announcement said Premier Thanom Kittikachorn quit voluntarily. He had been a weak premier, and corruption, mismanagement and general drift government had increased since he reluctantly took office as a front man for Sarit. Sarit himself had been out of the country for most of the year, undergoing treatment for a seri ous liver ailment resulting from heavy drinking. He was opcruted on in Washington last spring, and had been in England convalescing for the past three months. Ho re turned Sunday and went into se cret conferences from which the government overthrow resulted. Land Mine Blast Kills Soldier NICOSIA.

In Famagusta, three soldiers were slightly injured when three bombs were thrown at their patrol car. creased speeding." Charlie Bane, chairman of the Traffic Safety Commission, re plied by reviewing the minutes of the group. He pointed out that the croup had spent many hours of study on the problem, and that they had carefully considered all angles, including that of traffic salcty as well as movement of traffic. He emphasized there had been no buck passing. He reviewed traffic counts that had been taken which showed no clear cut pattern ol traffic movement.

Rushing out of the room, re porters saw a large crowd of women hovering around actor Clark Gable. coast to coast In the fields of foreign policy, defense, agricul ture, and the nation's economy, and others. Eisenhower was interrupted by applause 35 times at the party rally where nearly every seat in the auditorium was filled. The big gest round came when he said that under this administration: "Ladies and gentlemen, things aro good, and getting better every day." Eisenhower came to California mainly to boost tho candidacy of U.S. Sen. William F. Knowland in the race for the governorship, and the bid of GOP Gov. Goodwin J. Knight for Knowland's Senate seat and to try to heal a party split. The split is over Knowland mov ing into the gubernatorial contest alter Knight had announced he in tended to seek reelection, and Knowland's championship of a highly controversial "right to work proposal" which would bar the union ship in California. Knight, running for an office he didn't want, is against the pro posal and has said he may not vote for Knowland. organized la bor also is fighting Knowland on the "right to work proposal" and he currently faces the gloomy prospect of defeat by ms Demo cratic opponent, State Atty, Gen. Edmund G. iPat" Brown. With Knowland and Knight side by side on tho speakers' platform with him in an outward show of harmony, Eisenhower told his ap plauding audience: Let's have no more family bickering fancied or real. It just helps defeat what we want." Knowland and Knight joined the prolonged applause. A bit later the President said the Republicans "have had our family spats." But he went on to say at that point that the Demo crats are worse off that they are hopelessly split. . At one extreme is a wing whose campaigns were largely settled in Southern primaries held weeks ago, " Eisenhower said. "At the other extreme is the stronger wing, dominated by political radi cals. . . . These self-styled liberals are the ones who really challenge sane, sound, forward-looking gov ernment in the United States, It is against tho spread of their rad ical influence that we are waging this campaign." Elsenhower picked Vice Presi dent Nixon's home state to say this about him in his prepared text: "If only all of us go full out. as our fine vice president, Dick Nixon, has we, together, will achieve victory." But In making the speech the President deleted that sentence and said Instead that Nixon is one of our most effective leaders in this great fight" to win control of Congress from the Democrats in tho November elections. Eisen hower added: "He is giving us a shining example of dedication to the cause of good government. In reply to questions, While House press secretary James C. Ilagerty said the President re vised his remarks about Nixon because ho wanted to make them stronger." To some the original version seemed to add up to a warm en dorsement of Nixon's campaign technique, often sharply criticized by the Democrats. The revised Eisenhower version was keyed less specifically to praiso of Nixon going "full out" In his campaign ing. nd Martin, and the rest of Mills Addition be left as is." Tratfic Safety Committee mem bers present reaffirmed their be lief in tho decision, and it was adopted by the council.
