U 0? QTXZOS LIS" A."? E'JJSNS, 0H-. t-1-59 In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Soviet author Boris Pasternak today rejects the 1958 Nobel prize (or literature. In a brief telegram to the Swedish Academy in Stock holm he says: "Considering the meaning this (ward has been given in the so ciety to which I belong, I must reject this undeserved prize which has been presented to me. "Please do not receive my vol untary rejection with displeasure." ?????????? He probably reasoned he'd rath er be a live nobody than a dead celebrity. Who are we to judge him harsh ly? We don't live In communist Russia. Hmmmmmmmmm. Despots tend to act like despots. Back in 1935 an ANTI-NAZI German journalist (over on that side of the water they call them . "journalists;" on this side the term "journalist" is regarded by newspaper men as slanderous) in curred Hitler's wrath by winning the Nobel peace prize. His name was Carl von Ossietzky. Hitler compelled him to refuse it. In our own United States of America, we often in election years grow weary of the hogwash and the ballyhoo. We shouldn't. We should take it in stride. After all, with all its defects ; eur government is the best govern' mcnt on earth and every d a y in the vear wo should et rinwn nn our knees and give fervent thanks that we live where we live. More foreign affairs: Western diplomats, assembled in Geneva for critical atomic talks today, are increasingly pessimistic about prospects of agreement with the Soviets to halt nuclear tests The conference is assembling in an atmosphere ranging from offi cial cautious optimism to privately tranK pessimism. Shucks! What difference does it make? Everybody knows a communist's word isn't worth the paper it is written on and will be broken when ever the time conies when break ing it will be expedient. The thing to do is to keep talking Talk is cheaper than shooting. Per sonally, I still believe that com munism is so" foul that in time it will fall of the weight of its own foulness if we can just keep talk ing long enough.

Disarm WASHINGTON (AP)-U.S. offi cials saw little hope today for any early agreement between the So viet Union and the Western pow ers for a start on disarmament in the nuclear age. They blame the darkening pros pect on evidences that the Soviet Union is following a generally tougher line in its relations with the West. Secretary of Stale Dulles says this may be due in some degree to a possible realization among Soviet leaders that despite re markable scientific achievements the Soviet Union is still behind the United States in the nuclear weapons race in important re spects. Two negotiations are imminent. On Friday the United States. Britain and the Soviet Union will open diplomatic talks at Geneva on a possible ban on nuclear weapons testing, to be backed up by a worldwide international in spection system to prevent viola tions. Ten days later panels of Com munist state and Western experts will start discussions on the tech nical problems involved in pre venting surprise attack such things as ground and aerial in Price Five Cents 20 Pages RESCUE WORKERS HAD TO cab of this tractor in order Theodore Papagene, Redding, Thirteen Die In Coal Mine SUMMERSVILLE, W. Va. (AP) Rescuers brought out the last of 13 bodies from the blast-shattered workings of a southeastern West Virginia coal mine early to day. Four other men who miracu lously escaped dcath-'Mter' being trapped underground were hospi talized in Richwood. Tuesday was the second straight day for tragedy to strike the coal fields. Only the day before, 22 men were killed in an explosion at the Bishop, Va., mine of the Pocahon tas Fuel Co. on the Virginia-West Virginia border. Tuesday's blast centered a mile and a half deep in the Burton mine of the Oglebay-Norton Co., a Cleveland-based mining, mar keting, ore and shipping concern between here and Richwood. Fifty-four men were at work un derground, but 37 were working on the surface-side of the explo sion and scurried to safety with out injury. The Burton operation is a slope mine, bored into the side of Curtin Mountain. It is located in a barely accessible hollow on the banks of the small Gauley River in Nicho las County. Detroit Reports No New Cases DETROIT (AP) Detroit passed the first day in three months with out a report of a new polio case Tuesday. The count remained at 617 cases and 21 deaths in 1958, compared with 175 cases and two deaths in the corresponding' period last year. One new case was reported in sections of Wayne County on De troit s outskirts. This brought the outcounty total for 1958 to 194 with one death, compared with 74 cases and one death at this time last year. .dsj . wiC Pact Hopes Dim spection systems which would be capable of discovering concentra tions of troops and weapons in advance of a massive assault. President Eisenhower had pro posed last summer that beginning with the opening of the Geneva nuclear test talks the world's atomic powers the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union should suspend tests for a year beginning Oct. 31. If prog ress on inspection installations was made during that year the suspension would be renewed. In New York Monday night, a Soviet spokesman told the United Nations that his government would not agree to the one-year test suspension. The proposal was attacked again Tuesday, with the Soviet Union renewing a call for immediate, unconditional agree ment to end testing. The Soviet Union itself had an nounced a halt in testing last March, but resumed testing in September after the United States and Britain carried out planned test series in the summer. Dulles told a news conference Tuesday that h the Soviets con tinue testing after Friday, the United States will make plans to resume experimental explosions i KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1958 TUNNEL under the wrecked to extricate the body of who was crushed to death Nobel Peace Award d.,j d., A..ujn Accmenr uciuacu uy nuiiiui STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) Soviet Author Boris Pasternak to day refused to accept the Nobel Prize for Literature. He referred to "the society I live In." ... Pasternak sent a cable to Dr, Anders Oesterling, permanent sec retary of the Royal Swedish Acad emy, which awards the literary Nobel prizes. 'Because of the meaning attrib uted to this award in the society I live in, I ought to say no thanks to the undeserved prize awarded me," Pasternak said. "Do not take my voluntary refusal with any ill will." Oesterling received a cable from Pasternak Saturday expressing his gratitude at the Nobel award. Ticking Package Not Dangerous, Just Vibrator SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-A little package in the post office at San Francisco International Airport wasn t just buzzing. It was jig gling, too. No traffic was halted, but em ployes gingerly picked up the eight inch package and carried it out side on the apron, still buzzing and jiggling. While an Army demolition offi cer was rushing from The Presidio in case the thing needed disarm ing, sheriff's officers checked the addressee, Mrs. Lulu Hale, San Diego. When she didn't know what might be in the package carrying the return address of H. C. Lee, general delivery, San Francisco, the officers got serious. The Army officer came and froze the little package with car bon dioxide. Then he opened it, to find a small battery-power vi brator used for facial massage, which cheerfully resumed vibrat ing as it thawed. although the Geneva negotiations will continue. . Soviet rejection of the suspen sion proposal, he said, "dims the chances of success" at the Ge neva nuclear talks. Similarly, he declared that the Soviet attitude on this issue also casts doubt upon the success of the scheduled talks on ways of preventing surprise at tack. The loss of hope does not mean. Dulles said, that the United States as well as other Western coun tries will not keep on trying for agreement. He lollowea up this point in a speech in New York Tuesday night. He discussed there a U.S.-Canadian proposal for an arctic inspection system, which the Soviets turned down in the U.N. Security CounciL In this case, he said, the con clusion must be drawn that the Soviet Union "has aggressive dis positions in this area which it de sires to conceal." "But our peaceful preference Is clear," he added. "Whenever the Soviet Union wants to know what our arctic dispositions, so that it cannot be taken by surprise, or net on what might be miscalcula tions, it can have that knowledge, provided only it is willing to reciprocate." early this morning 10 miles Highway 97. That cable read: "Immensely thankful, touched, proud, aston ished, abashed,",,.-. Today's cable indicated that in the meantime something ha hap pened to .Pasternak to change his mind. The author of the novel "Doctor Zhivago," which is criti cal of communism, has been un der rigorous attack in the Soviet press. Pasternak was named for the award last week. The Soviet press asserted the selection was an anti- Soviet political maneuver. Pravda, the official Communist party paper, heaped abuse on Pas ternak and "Doctor Zhivago." It said he should reject the $41,420 cash prize if there were a spark of Soviet dignity left in him." The Nobel Prize Committee pre sented the Russians with a dilem ma. It awarded the Prize in Phys ics Tuesday to three top-ranking Soviet scientists P. A. Cheren- kov, I. M. Frank and Igor E. Tamm. The question was: would the Soviets let the scientists ac cept the physics award and at the same time keep Pasternak home? The answer appeared in the So viet press in Moscow today. The Russians were setting up a double standard on the Nobel prizes. it said the physics award was fitting but at the same time it said it proved that the award for literature was dictated by reac tionary political aims." uoctor znivago has never been published in the Soviet Union, but it is being widely read abroad.

S:M CALIFORNIA October 30 OPEN CLOSE :M t:04 Mm Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 6218 south of Klamath Falls on Photo by Kettler Man Crushed k i A Redding man was killed on Highway 97, two miles south of Midland at about 6 a.m. Wednes day, the victim of the last of three collisions to occur in rapid succes sion in the early morning fog. ' Witnesses to tne accident -say Theodore Papagene had apparently stopped his southbound pickup in order to wipe off the windshield, but without getting out of t h e southbound lane. The following re construction of succeeding events was reported by witnesses. The first collision occurred when a logging truck driven by George W. Mathews, 2009 Darrow Avenue, came onto the scene Irom the north. Mathews was unable to stop in the moment before the impact during which the pickup was vis ible, and the smaller vehicle spun around when the truck hit it. The larger vehicle, its tie rod broken, veered sideways toward the left of the road. Two north bound Greyhound buses were pass ing the scene at this moment. The first went through unscathed, but the logging truck and the' second bus collided, with only minor dam age resulting. All of this had happened in a matter of seconds, and the pickup was again alone in the southbound lane when a heavy semi truck and trailer, driven by Gordon Thomp son of Spokane, came onto the scene from the north. The semi crashed into the pick up and pushed it onto the marsh land to the west of the highway. The semi itself, out of control, followed and crashed over the pickup, snagging Papagene's body on the way. The Redding man was crushed under the front axle of the semi, which sunk into the sog gy turf. It took a half hour's digging for workers to extricate Papagene's body from under the cab of the big truck. The body was brought to O'Hair's Memorial Chapel by Peace Ambulance. Local Firm Buys Tract ROSEBURG (AP)-The largest Iract of sub-alpine timber ever offered for sale in Oregon brought a high bid of $491,281 from the Diamond Lake Lumbor Co. of Klamath Falls.

His call was in the tradition of his predecessor Pope Pius XII. The new sovereign pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, broad casting from the Sistine Chapel less than 20 hours after his elec tion, urged that weapons of de struction be converted into tools of progress. His swords-into-plowshares ap peal was taken as a firm sign that he intends to continue the fight for peace which made Pius XII known as the "Pope of Peace." Pope John Angelo Giuseppe Cardinal Roncalli, patriarch of Venice, until his election Tuesday by the College of Cardinals prayed to God for strength and courage in his new tasks. He called especially upon the Virgin Mary for assistance. The 76-year-old Pope spoke in Latin for 20 minutes in a firm and powerful voice.

The new Pope is expected to be crowned within two weeks. The jeweled, three-tiered tiara of the papacy, topped by golden orb and cross, perhaps will be placed upon his head Sunday, Nov. 9, in the climax at St. Peter's Basilica of the drama that began with the fatal illness of Pope Pius at tastel Uandolfo.

The report gave this summary: The recovery in employment has been rather limited; invest ment in industrial and commer cial facilities, although leveling off, is not yet advancing, and auto production still has not given the stimulus which will come with large scale output of 19S9 cars." But except for autos, the de partment said industrial produc tion has shown a marked come back. The bettcr-than-seasonal pick up, the report said, has been re flected in rising personal income which climbed by 'k billion dol lars last month to a record rate of 357 Vj billions a year. Most of the increase was. credited to big ger wage and salary payments. Meanwhile, the Internal Reve nue Service reported that despite the , recession federal tax collec tions during the fiscal year that ended June 30 fell only 200 million dollars below the previous year. That figure ss somewhat mis leading, however, because the major impact of the recession on corporation taxes falls during the current fiscal year. The service said the tax total for fiscal 1958 reflected increased Social Security tax rates which went into effect in January 1957. Altogether, the federal tax take for fiscal 1958 came to $79,978, 000,000, second only to the record $80,172,000,000 Of fiscal 1957. Owner Cashes Check To Pig MACON. Ga, (UPD-The check was made out to his pig, but Roy Jones finally succeeded in cash- ing it. It happened at the Georgia State Fair. Jones had entered his pig, named "Jones Special," in a livestock event. The pig won a prize. But when Jones examined the checkt he found it drawn on behalf of "Jones' Special," instead of Roy Jones. Hov endorsed it for the pig, then affixed his own name and went home with the money. through the three tense days of balloting that finally . led to his selection. Bells of St. Peter's and of Rome's 500 churches pealed. A brilliant sun shone over the Italian capital, which was in a festive mood. Throughout the city the posters announcing the death and funeral services for Pope Pius had disappeared. In their places were bright new posters, hailing the new pontiff. There was jubilation in Pope John's native north Italian hamlet, Sotto il Monte, and in Venice at elevation of the jovial, portly patriarch who in the Catholic view becomes the 262nd vicar of Christ on earth and a direct successor of St. Peter. Isle Belted By Artillery TAIPEI. Formosa ( AP) Chi nese Communist artillery shelled Quemoy again today but there was a noticeable easing of tension over the offshore island crisis. AP correspondent David Lan- . eashire, on Quemoy, said the Communist artillery fired sporad ically through the morning. . Wednesday was an odd-numbered day, meaning unlimited shelling under the Reds' strange announced new tactic. They said they would not fire on even-numbered days into Quemoy's land ing areas and invited the Nation alists to ship in supplies then. There were these signs of a slack in tension: 1. U.S. Navy destroyers of the Formosa Strait patrol have stopped movements inside the 12 miles of coastal waters claimed by Red China, it was learned. For the past two days, Peiping has is sued none of its "serious warn ings" that its 12-mile limit was being violated. 2. The chief Nationalist military spokesman. Rear Adm. Liu Hoh tu, said the Communist shelling now was viewed as a nuisance bombardment to save face "be cause the Communists have known since the second week of their of fensive (in September) that their chance to invade quemoy was gone." 3. U.S. Secretary of State Dulles declared in Washington that Red China seems to be trying to sava themielves from a less of face and a defeat in the effort which they initiated but had been unable . to conclude successfully. . . . It seems as though, at least for the moment, they do not want to raise up the level of their military ef fort. ..."
