Prize-Winning Novelist
Denies Anti-Red Intent
LONDON AP - Roris Paster
nak, the Soviet Nobel Prize-winning
author, today denied that he
had intended to express anti-Communist
views in his controversial
novel "Doctor Zhivago."
Writing to the Soviet Communist
party newspaper Pravda, Paster-

Street Killing
ST. LOUIS 'APi-Police say a
21-year-old laborer has admitted
firing the shot that killed Theo
dore Mcintosh. 17. Tuesday night
in a street gang fight.
Detective Sgt. Benjamin Massey
said Glover Major Cody told of
ficers: Cody and Mcintosh were mem
bers of rival gangs. Tuesday,
three of Cody's friends were shot
at by the other group, but were
not hit.
That nicht Cody and four com
panions, each armed, went into
their rival's territory. Cody ac
costed Mcintosh and hit him. At
that moment some shots were
fired at Cody's gang. Cody fired
once. Mcintosh "grabbed his
belly" and Cody's gang fled in a
waiting car.
All the youths involved are Ne
groes. Cody was held without
charge.
Schools Here
Termed Small
PORTLAND (AP)-Dr. James
B. Conanl, former president of
Harvard University, said Wednes
day many Oregon schools are too
small to provide, a broad educa
tional program.
Conant, who heads a national
furvey of high school education
sponsored under a foundation
grant, said that unless a high
school has 100 graduates annually
it is too small to provide an ade
quate educational program.
Some 83 per cent of, Oregon
high schools, attended by 35 per
cent of the state's students, now
graduate fewer than 100 students
each year.
Conant said the smaller schools
cannot maintain sufficient quali
fied teachers in the many special
ized fields, which form the basis
of a comprehensive study course.
He also suggested extending the
school day to include seven or
eight 45 minute class periods.
Brookings Man
To Face Charge
GOLD BEACH (AP)-A Brook
Ings man was charged with sec
ond degree murder Wednesday in
connection with the death of his
infant daughter, who died eight
hours after birth last January.
The charge alleged Raymond
Ikola heat his pregnant wife so
severely she gave birth to the
child, who died of injuries. He
was arraigned in a preliminary
justice court hearing and then
bound over to the grand jury.
nak expressed regret at the inter
pretation placed on his book and
pleaded with his country's leaders
for a chance to "restore my good
name."
The 68-vear-old Doet-novplkt'c
confession of error was in the pat
tern familiar in Communist coun
tries, made apparently to avoid
the expulsion from the Soviet Un
ion demanded by Young Commu
nist League leaders and others.
In a personal appeal to Premier
Khrushchev five days ago. the
writer said exile "is to me eoual
to death."
In his letter to Pravda, which
was quoted by Moscow radio, Pas
ternak said he had been accused
of giving vent In "Doctor Zhivago"
to views that the Communist Rev
olution was illegal and brought un
happiness to the Soviet Union.
"It is clear to me I cannot en
dorse' such clumsy allegations,"
Pasternak said. At the same
time my work which has received
the Nobel Prize gave cause to this
regrettable interpretation and this
is the reason 1 finally gave up the
prize."
He added that he had tried to
halt his book's publication abroad,
and had his request been heeded,
it is likely I should have been
able at least in part to correct
this."
"In my letter to Nikita Khrush
chev 1 have said I am tied to
Russia by my birth, life and work
and that to leave and go into exile
abroad was unthinkable to me,"
Pasternak continued.
"Speaking about this tie I had
in mind not only the kinship of
its earth and nature but also of
her people, her past, her glorious
present and her future. . .
"With bright faith in my own
future and in the future generally,
being proud of the times in which
I live and of the people who sur
rounded me, I believe I shall find
in myself the strength to restore
my good name and the lost trust
of my comrades."
. Pasternak s novel is interpreted
in the West as an account of the
failure of the Soviet system to
produce the freedom sought by
mankind. A bestseller abroad, it
is banned in the Soviet Union
Pasternak said he had first
agreed to accept the $41,420 Nobel
Prize, awarded him Oct. 18 by
the Swedish Royal Academy of
Letters, because he thought it was
a literary distinction.
'When I saw the scope of the
political campaign around my nov
el, he continued. I realized my
self that this award was a political
measure which has now resulted
in monstrous consequences, and
on my own initiative without be
ing compelled by anybody 1 sent
my voluntary refusal.
Pasternak also denied that he
had been subjected to any perse
cution.
"I definitely risked neither my
life, my freedom nor anything
else," he wrote. "I want to stress
once more all my actions are be
ing undertaken voluntarily. People
who are close acquaintances of
mine know full well nothing in the
world will compel me to act hypo
critically or to act against my
conscience."

Dulles Must Get Backing
Of Democratic Congress
WASHINGTON ( AP )-Secretary 1
of State Dulles will have to seek
much' closer cooperation with
Democratic leaders of Congress if
he is to run foreign policy effec
tively during his last two years
in office.
Aides said privately today they
had no doubt he would take such
action, although it was still too
early to say what specific steps
might be necessary.
"Although Congress has been
under Democratic control for the
last four of the Eisenhower ad
ministration's six years, a shift
in power over the conduct of for
eign affairs now seems certain to
come about lor two reasons:
1. Tuesday's election gave the
Democrats such overwhelming
control as virtually to vest them
with a new degree of authority
and confidence not only to criti
cize what is being done but to
say how it should be done. Or so
it appears to many observers in
the State Department.
2. Regardless of what happens
in the 191K) elections, the Eisen
hower administration as such is
limited to two more years in of
fice. The leadership authority of
the President and secretary of
state therefore must be expected
to decline, relative to the rein
forced Democratic leadership at
the Capitol.
But the record of the last four
years of working with Democratic
Congresses encourages Dulles
aides to, believe that close coop
eration will be obtained.
They look for continued support
on major issues of foreign aid
appropriations and problems in
volving firm stands against ex
pansionist moves by the Commu
nist bloc countries.
The first test may involve Unit
ed States support for Nationalist
China s continued strong defense
of the Quemoy and Matsu islands
off the Chinese mainland.
The administration may have to
ask early next year for a supple
mental appropriation to finance
plans for modernizing the Chinese
Nationalist army and to make up
for the approximately 300 million
dollars spent in supplies for the
defense of Quemoy against the
Communist artillery assault which
began in late August.
Many Democrats, including
Chairman Theodore F. Green of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, were outspoken in criticiz
ing the administration s policy re
garding the coastal islands. A re
quest for funds arising out of this
policy could precipitate a major
debate on the whole issue.
Furthermore, if the Chinese
Communists gradually ease off
their pressures, Democratic con
grcssional leaders will probably
insist on a policy more in line
with (heir own ideas and the idea;
of many Allied countries. These
come down to saying that the
United Stales should defend For
mosa hut should try to get Chi
ang's forces out of the offshore
islands.
Southern Demos To Retain
Control Of Many Groups
WASHINGTON (AP' Southern
Democrats will retain the bulk of
Senate and House committee
chairmanships in the new 86th
Congress but Southern conserva
tives probably will lind their in
fluence diluted.
With the Democrats sharply in
creasing their control of both
branches in Tuesday's voting, the
top committee posts in nearly all
cases will remain firmly in the
hands of the men who held them
in (he 85th. In many instances,
these men have been chairmen for
years.
In the Senate, this means that
Alaska to be filled Nov. 25, their
committee margins will increase
materially.
In most cases, these will be 10-5
or 9-8 on the 15-member commit
tees. With such a lineup, the vet
of one dissenter from party pol
icy will not be too important.
His Woes Began
3 Months Ago

L. Dunagin's troubles began about
three months ago when he suf

a barbecue fire.
Returning from a hospital a few
days later, he wrecked his car
and was hospitalized again for
internal injuries.
Earlier this week, fire destroyed
Dunagin's home and belongings.

celebration next vear.
9 of the 16 , standing committee i
chairmanships will remain with
Southerners. In the House, the!
South will keep 12 of the 19 posts.
The chairmanships go strictly by!
seniority. i
The only change in chairman
ships forced by the election in
either branch involves the House
Interior Committee. Rep. Clair
Engle D-Caiif , who headed it
in the 85th Congress, was elected
to the Senate. Expected to replace
him is Rep. Wayne N. Aspinall
ID-Colo).
The election of many morci
Democrats from the North and
West seems certain to cut down
the power of the South in the com
mittees, which can make or break,
legislation. I
Particularly will this be true in I
the Senate, where the Democrats!
have had only one-vole margins
on committees for four years. In
such a situation a conservative
Southern Democrat often is a
swing man; by voting with the
Republicans ho could help to bot
tle up or win changes in legisla
tion. But with the Democrats holding
a B2-34 edge in the 1959 Senate,
