Red China discloses that anti-
communist Chinese are fighting be
side Tibetan rebels and admits
that revolt is istill seething in the
Himalayan kingdom.
Peiping radio claims that the
uprising has been crushed in the
area of Lhasa, the Tibetan capital,
and says Red troops are "now pro
ceeding successfully to put down
the armed rebellion in other
places."' ' e
How? ' . -
- By, shooting down the Tibetan
rebels who want only to live their
own lives in their own way. -It's
Hungary all over again.
"Nobody can make me believe
such a system will succeed forever.
Communism is so foul that in
time it must fall of the weight
f its own foulness. -
That's enough about communism.
' Let's turn to a pleasanter sub
ject that is closer home.
With 13 weeks behind it and an
other two or three weeks to go,
Democratic leadership in the Ore
gon legislature thinks it may be
within sight of its goal.
' That goal, it is announced, is to
balance the budget with NO NEW
TAXES or, at worst, with only a
tmall increase.
-The joint ways and means com
mittee, Salem dispatches tell us,
may announce in another week a
budget close to 300 million dollars.
At that figure, the house taxation
committee might find it possible
to recommend that Oregon s in
come tax rates stay-where they
are.
'Let's put it this way:
" Oregon must either spend less or
earn more.
To earn more, Oregon must
bring in new industries in order
to have more to tax more new
plants to pay property tax, more
new corporations to pay corpora
tion income tax, more new employ
ees to pay taxes on their incomes
and property taxes on their homes
There must be more to tax, in
order to spread the load.
: If Oregon permits its taxes to
get TOO HIGH, it will scare off
the new industries Oregon needs.
- That's about the long and the
bort of it. ' - -
: Let's get still closer home. Let's
get down : to-our own -mythical
Stale of Jefferson. -
- Here in ' Southern Oregon and
Far Northern California, we start
ed off with gold. From gold, we
went to cattle. From cattle,
went to saw timber.
- We must take another step.
.From saw timber and sawmills,
we must go to FIBER and fiber
industries. Our saw timber. was
expendable. When it was cut out,
the mills moved on. That was 'a
TEMPORARY economy. When we
looked at our economy in those
days, we shivered in our boots
and wondered WHAT OF THE FU
TURE. . i

LOW PRICES OFFERED TO GROWERS and national overproduction of potatoes were
the major factors in the increase in the U.S. Government diversion program for the
1958 crop of potatoes. Local figures show, say state and federal inspectors and agri
culture experts, the diversion of movement of potatoes into livestock feed and starch
production channels has been approximate! double that of other recent seasons. This
stockpile of potatoes bought for livestock feed by Jack McFall and others,. Bonanza,
has been dumped over the edge of the market road between Malin and Bonanza near
Harpole Dam on Lost River. The spuds will be fed at a later date.

more than that a beloved husband

The quartet set out Saturday to
sail from Holland to the English

which Longyear hoped to cross the
Atlantic later this year.
"The trip went normally until
the yacht was just off the coast,
Buell told newsmen. "The main
sail split and the head of the sail
jammed. -
It was while trying to get it
down to repair it that Peter was
thrown overboard. He was hang

it down with his weight when he

was when he floated away on the

could to help. She is the bravest

While the overall figures of po
tatoes yet unsold in the Basin is
about average for this time of
year, Ross Aubreys Oregon state
supervisor oi ieoerai-state inspec
tion service, said today that far
fewer potatoes have been shipped
out for human, consumption since
harvest last fall than in several
past years. t
Generally from 30 to more than
40 per cent of the crop has gone
up the cull chute and has been di
verted into livestock, feed and
starch production', channels under
the U.S... Government s diversion
program.
Under federal diversion prices
growers who sold under the pro
gram last December received 50
cents per hundredweight and the
scale then dropped by months to
average out 40 cents for the sea
son. Livestock feeders have paid
an added . 20 cents per - hundred
to the grower and prices paid by
the Western starch factory at Hat
field have fluctuated slightly in
the same purchase price range.
Prices on marketable potatoes
have ranged from $2 down to 1.35
for armed services shipments.
Poor quality of the bulk of po
tatoes grown here last season, dis
ease and other factors, have result
ed in a few instances of neces
sity for dumping entire crops.
A gloomy picture of the potato
situation in the United States has
been painted by A. E.- Mercker,
executive director of the National
Potato Council. He urged growers
not to overplant and has expressed
the hope that all areas would stay
within the acreage limitations rec
ommended by the federal govern
ment.

Testimony
INDIANAPOLIS AP - Connie

trial testimony in tears today, tell
ing the jury her playboy lover was
killed as she drew her small
revolver to shoot herself.
After the state wound up its
cross-examination in only 16 min
utes, defense attorney Charles W.
Symmes got . the divorcee to pin
down the motion she said she
made with her gun in Forrest
Teel's white car.
"Toward myself," she replied.
"I told him 1 wouldn't be around
to bother him any more. I wanted
to scare him the fact that I was
going to kill myself in his car.
"Were you afraid of furlher
beatings?" Symmes asked.
"I was afraid because he had
struck me and had thrown -me
across the seat of the car."
Deo. ' Prosecutor Francis E
Thomason came back for one last
question on cross-examination:
"Was this the first time he had
beaten you?" ' .
"Yes."
Mrs. Nicholas wept as the jury
filed out for a recess at the end
of her testimony.
"It's been an ordeal," she said
as she returned to the defense
counsel's table.
"I've got a cold, she explained,
"something I seldom have. My

To Agree )
To Test Ban ;
GENEVA (AP) The U n It e d
States and Britain asked the So-
let Union today to agree to 1 a
prompt controlled suspension of
nuclear weapons tests on or near
the surface of the earth leaving
the problem of other types of
blasts for later negotiations.
Informants said the proposal
provided for splitting up the test
suspension problem. It was ad
vanced as the three-power talks
resumed after an Easter recess.
First Soviet reaction was re
ported to be negative. ,
Under the new Western plan.
agreement would be reached at
once on banning surface and
atomic nuclear tests the ones
which cause dangerous - radioac
tive fallout, ..,'!
Such an agreement would not
cover very high altitude and un
derground atomic and hydrogen
weapons blasts: ouch explosions
difficult to police in any event
could be covered in some subse
quent agreement reached after
the first problem had been solved.
U.S. Ambassador James J.
Wadsworth and British Minister
of State David Ormsby-Gore pro
posed dividing the nuclear prob
lem into two parts with the idea
of getting quick agreement on the
types of tests easiest to detect.
The ending of such tests also
would minimize any health hazards
to the world's population.
The sources pointed out that the
United States and Britain would ,
prefer an agreement covering the
entire range of tests. But the
Western powers recognized . that
this conference, which began its
deliberations on Oct. 31, now was
bogged down on East-West differ
ences about controls.
Presumably the limited agree
ment now suggested as a first
step would require less elaborate
policing arrangements than a to
tal ban. The Western powers, how
ever, want foolproof controls built
into any type of agreement they
sign.
The plan would ban an tests at
or near ground level, which cause
dangerous fallout. It would permit
high altitude and deep under
ground blasts, which Western ex
perts contend produce no harmful
results.
Western officials were hopeful
their new formula might help soft
en the Soviet Union's adamant
stand against a veto-free inspec
tion system to police the proposed
agreement banning nuclear tests.
