Ulltwi Soviet Attaches Ordered Expelled From Mexico City MEXICO CITY 'API - Mexico has ordered two Soviet Embassy attaches expelled Irom the coun try, charging they had a hand in the Easter weekend rail strike. Two other Red attaches were re ported marked to go. An official source said the sec ond secretary of the Soviet Em bassy. Nicolai M Remisov. and a In The- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Speaking at a forum of the Port I a n d cJlamber of commerce the other day. Governor Hatfield said in answer to a question from the (Joor: "Yes. there are problems in Oregons unemployment compen sation program One of these problems is in the field of admin istration." The dispatches reporting his speech didn't go on from there, but I have an idea this is about what he meant to convey: Some people would rather do any kind of work that is available than to go on unemployment com pensation. Others won't do any kind of work as long as rocking chair money is available to live on. That is putting it roughly, but 1 can't help thinking it is better to face facts than to beat around the bush. Here in Klamath Falls, one of our busiest corners is the inter section of Wall and Esplanade at about 8 o'clock in the morning. Everybody of high school age. along with the high school leach ing staff, is hurrying to get to the big school on (he hill at the top of Wall. Everybody else is hurry ing to get to work. Long chances are taken to gel Ihrough the traf fic tangle and maybe save ten seconds. It's usually a mess. But The other morning it was dif ferent. A TRAFFIC COP was on that corner. There was little, if any. mess. No chances were be ing taken. Traffic was moving in an orderly flow in first one di rection and then in the other. No fenders were in danger of being battered. Nobody was having to leap to get out of the way. That's what DISCIPLINE does. Consider how carefully you drive at a corner where there is a cop. Or how carefully you drive when you see a cop approaching you or spot a cop through your rear view mirror. The moral: It takes DISCIPLINE to run a world. An history proves that fact. It was the disciplined Roman Legion that conquered the world. Nobody LIKES discipline, but we just can't get along without a cer tain amount of it. Japanese Ship To Catch Crab HAKODATE. Japan AP - A Japanese fishing mother ship left here Wednesday for Bristol Bay. Alaska, to engage in crab fishing The "i.386-ton Tokei Maru was sent jointly by the Nichiro. Nip pon and Taiyo fishery companies.! The Japanese companies dis patched two crah fishing boats late last month to the Bristol Bay fishing grounds. Their goal this year is 70.000 cases of canned crab each weigh ing 24 pounds Violent Spring Storm Has Lost Fury By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Violent spring storms which struck devastating blows across sections of Texas and Oklahoma abated today, leaving a toll of dead and injured and extensive property damage. Tornadoes killed at least six persons in two small communities in north central Texas More than a half dozen twisters which raked the two states also injured 59 per sons, including 51 in Texas.

Two members of a diplomatic mission from an uoidentilied So viet satellite also were reported to have been declared no longer wel come in Mexico. There was spec ulation they were Czechoslovak or Polish. The strike fizzled Monday alter the government had rounded up an estimated 3.000 leftist union leaders and followers. The govern ment said it had evidence the strike was a Communist plot. Workers flocked to their jobs Tuesday and officials said 140 trains were back on the run. Many of the workers said they had been coerced into striking by threats of torture or reprisals against their families. The two Soviets were said to have had regular contact with Demetrio Vallejo. leftist rail un ion leader who organized the last three national rail strikes. He was arrested Sunday and reportedly talked to authorities about the So viets' role in the walkout. Official sources said the activity of the two Soviet officials was "not consistent with the demo cratic regime which Mexico ob serves." After Vallcjo's arrest, the gov ernment appointed a four-man group to direct the railway union. An election of new oflicers was ordered in an effort to root out Vallcjo's influence. The strike began a week ago on two regional rail hni's Mexicano. which links Mexico City and Vera cruz, and Pacifico. on the west coast between Guadalajara and Nogales. on the I'.S. border. The strikers called for a 16 per cent wage boost granted earlier to workers on the National Railways, which carry the bulk of Mexico's passenger and freight traffic. The government branded the walkout illegal and ordered the men back to their posts. A wave of sympathy strikes began on the National Hallways and the gov ernment, anticipating a nation wide stoppage and sympathy walkouts by other leftist-led un ions, ordered the widespread ar rests.

Telephone Tl I Mil No. CM 5-Years' Toil Bears Fruit By FLOYD Lt WYNNE A flight ol U F-ftb Sabre .lets rested quietly on the parking .strip in front of two huge air force hangars. There was the usual stir of activity, a bit more than other days, but little beyond this to indicate that Ibis was the result of over five years of effort and construction, this was the day that Kingsley Field became oper ational. When first negotiations were be gun with the Air rorcc back in l!ir4. those concerned realized that il would take perhaps five, maybe more years, before the field could take its place among the military bastions guarding the West Coast approaches to the nation. How ever, the civilian populace began to look for some tangible evidence that the base was coming. As the months went by, news of construction at the base continued to indicate the interest and ac tivity there, but the years slipped by without the base actually com ing into operation. Today, the more than five years of work have resulted in Kingsley Field moving toward full opera tional status. The flight of a dozen -F-86 Sabre .lets represented only the first step toward operation. These will be replaced by Ihe very latest F-1018 sometime in May. The Sabre Jets, .so valuable in the Korean struggle, will give way to progressvand be retired to near obsolescence as the trimmer, fast er interceptors lake over. The years of construction now have prepared the base for the vanguard ot full operation crews. fCnntlnurd nn Page 4A ONE OF A DOZEN planes now stationed at Kingtlay Field is this cloie-up version of the F-86 Sebre Jet.

Three Soviet jet lighters buzzed a transport which first went to Berlin last week at 2o,000 feet The Soiets followed that incident with their demand for U. S. ac ceptance of the 10.000-foot ceiling. The State Department rejected this demand. U. S. officials said that the prin ciple involved was unhindered Western use of air. sea and land routes into Berlin. The Soviets have challenged the right of the Western powers even to continue their Berlin occupation roles and have threatened to turn over con trol of the access routes across East German territory to the Ger man Communist regime. It was this threat, raising theiwent across the desk in the upper specter of a lied blockade of West Berlin, which triggered the Berlin crisis last winter and impelled the United Stales, Britain.

One has the personal endorse ment of Gov. Kdmund O. Brown and 2i members of the upper house exactly the number need ed to assure passage. The other proposal was by only a handful of northern senators but it presented a new approach to the difficult problem of financing wa ter projects. Ihe measure accorded ihe best chance oi passage was introduced Tuesday hy the Senate's top lead er, Sen. Hugh Burns iD-rrcsnoi. It was put in at the governor's personal request and would, if adopted by both houses, put be lore the people for a vote in the I960 election a 0 million dollar bond issue. The administration estimated thai amount would finance lo completion the Feather River Project the key program to transport surplus water from Northern Calitornia to such thirs ty areas as Kern. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino counties. At the same tune the Burns bill house. Sen. Randolph Collier tR- reka' with sixth other northern senators as co-authors introduced his own financing program. It calls tor a two billion dollar bond issue, twice as much as the amount requested by the governor, and sets up a complicated formula to spend the monev during the next 10 years in both the north and the south. "I just don't think Ihe bond is sue the governor wants is ade quate," Collier said. "It only fi nances one project FRP and it doesn't take care of the many oth er areas of the state that should be developed at the same time." If Collier s bill were adopted. 51 per cent of the money would go lo northern counties where most of the state's water origi nates while 49 per cent would be spent generally in Southern Cal itornia and along the Central Coast. Burns' hill calls for general ob ligation bonds, underwritten by the full credit of the entire state. Collier's hill authorizes revenue bonds, to be repaid out of reven ues of projects built. But it also provides that if revenues are in- ufficicnt, the states general fund may be tapped to pay off the bonds. The dividing point, in Collier's bill, between Ihe two main areas of the state would be a line run ning from San Francisco Bay to Stanlislaus River, along that river to San Joaquin River, down the San Joaquin to Madera, east to the Mono line and to the Nevada border at a point near Bridgeport, Burns said top water leaders and bond experts would meet with the governor Thursday to discuss strategy on the administration's bill. Under the Constitution, weith er bill can be given a committee hearing until 30 days after its in troduction but the mUfl ean be waived by 27 Senate votes, the same number already listed on Burns' bill as co-aut'iors. if
