"KWrag3miWIIIIIIMIim KLAMATH frlcc n-.-z Cist; IS Pg In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Lei's talk today about people wno JALK TOO MUCH. Specifically Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce. Senator Wayne Lyman Morse. Mrs. Luce talks too much with Vjer mouth. Senator Morse talks "too much with his mouth. For that reason,. I doubt it Mrs. Luce is proper material for an important post in our diplomatic service. For the same reason, 1 doubt if Senator Morse is proper material for our highly important senate foreign relations commit tee, i I can't help thinking it is just as well that Mrs. Luce has resigned as U.S. ambassador to Brazil. I wouldn't be too much cast down if Senator Morse should follow her example. Talking too much is a very bad habit especially among people who deal with the touchy apd ex plosive problems of foreign rela tions. So much for. the home folk. Let's now look abroad. There's Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, just back from a personal visit to Mr. K in Mos cow, after a couple of interviews that, he says, were "strictly my own business and I don't intend to report on them, even to Prime Minister Macmillan." Among other things, he said be fore leaving for Moscow that "American leadership is RATH ER SUSPECT, and AMERICAN BLOOD SHOULD BE SHED ON THE FIRST DAY OF ANY NEW WAR." Always unpredictable Monty apologizes today, saying: "It was a joke, and I take it all back." Maybe it was a joke. ; But . '." When people make cracks like that about their friends it .tends to clabber the friendship. Monty knows that, but it might be just as well to remind him that al though Americans didn't get into it on the first day in two of the world's bloodiest wars they shed rivers of blood, before it was all over, for their British cousins. And- He should bear this in mind: We didn't do it for reasons of slate. We didn t do it because of entangling foreign alliances that COMPELLED us to. We didn't do it for self-preservation, because we were quite competent to take care ot ourselves. WE DID IT BECAUSE BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER Cracks like Monty's cause a lot of us to get hot under the collar and reflect that if we hadn't done it we'd have been better off even to wish that at the end of World War I General Pershing had held a formal ceremony a full-dress army review in Paris and at the end of it had bowed deeply and had said with grave and serious courtesy: "Lafayette, WE HAVE PAID OUR DEBT." and had then disembarked his great army for nome to oiay at nome. Things like that are apt to hap pen when people high in public life especially that part of pub lic life having to do with foreign . relations snoot olf their mouths without stopping to think. National Report Set By Herter WASHINGTON (AP)-A radio television report to the nation on the Western foreign ministers con ference in Paris will be given next Thursday by Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, the White House announced Thursday night. Herter will also review the forthcoming East West foreign ministers conference to be held in Geneva May 11. I Hi Ml i!

National Guardsmen were sent to intercept the rebel column. It was not immediately clear wheth er the invaders were leaving to surrender or to try to escape cap ture.

The tax committee voted Thurs day night to reduce personal in come tax exemptions from $600 to $o00. This would provide about 11 millions in added revenue, or enough to finance a 310-milIion-dollar budget. The Ways and Means Commit tee, which had added six millions in higher education buildings to the budget to make the 316-million total, now is faced with a demand that it take these buildings out of the budget. The committee prob ably wilt consider adding these buildings to the 40-million-dollar bond issue that the Legislature is expected to refer to the people to provide college and institution buildings. At the same time, the Senate Taxation Committee recommend ed passage of the three per cent sales tax bill which would be re ferred to the people in 1960. lhe whole taxation picture is chaotic. Hopes that the 110-day old Legislature might adjourn Sat urday have almost disappeared, The Senate voted 19-11 for a resolution to quit at S p.m. Satur day, but that is mostly a dream It will be held up in the House until the work is done. House members are resentful over the Senate's refusal to return the 3-cent-a-package cigarette tax bill to the House. This is the bill that the Senate Taxation Commit tee converted into a sales tax. No one could remember a prior case m which either house ever- refused to return a bill at the re quest of the other house. But the Senate did, 21-6. That quashed the intention of most House members to kill both the cigarette and sales taxes.

The spokesman said the govern ment's information was that about 60 men left the Caribbean coastal town of Nombre de Dios and the remainder of the 89-man group stayed oenina. Cesar Vega, the former Havana night-club owner who led the ex peditionary force ashore six days ago, had said a quick opinion noli showed the discouraged adventur ers want a quick settlement. A government official said an agreement concluded with the help ot neutral diplomats from the Or ganization of American States gave Vega until noon to signal a nnai surrender. After that the National Guard planned to move in and try cap turing any noidouts, he said. The invaders headed out of Nombre de Dios well before noon for a jungle road connecting with tne main highway, the govern ment reported. The road emerges onto the main highway about 30 miles from Pan ama City. The government snokes- man said no contact is expected for several hours. "We are optimistic about reach ing, a settlement within a few days," said a spokesman for the inter-American team of diplomats trying to end the threat to Pan amanian President Ernesto de la Guardia s government. Vega said he was resoondine to direct surrender appeals from Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Cas tro, his brother Raul, commander of the Cuban armed forces, and the Organization of American Slates.

Photo by Don Kettler Monty Home; Apologizes LONDON (UPI) - Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery returned from talks with Nikita Khrushchev today and apologized for cracks he had made about the United States before going to Moscow. Montgomery rcfujiM to give, de tails of his meetings with the So viet Prime Minister and he did not indicate that his Russian trip nad caused a change m his atti tude toward the United States. But he insisted that he had just been "joking" in a television in terview earlier this week when he said American leadership was "rather suspect" and that Ameri can blood should be shed on the first day of any new war. "If anything I did say in the television interview has upset tnem (Americans) I am deeply sorry and apologize unreservedly and will take it back, Montgom ery said. His television remarks had drawn fire from practically every British newspaper and President tisenhower himself. Montgomery said he had con siderea me interview, with an American television network, as "tremendous fun and a good deal of it was rather joking." I must myself see exactly what did say before 1 could say whether I stand by anything or do not stand by it," he told news men. I really cannot remember what I said during that lime." Regardless, he added, "I do not want to upset any of my friends. 1 hope they will now forgive me. 1 Montgomery said his interviews with Khrushchev two hours, on Wednesday and an hour again Thursday were strictly his own business and he did not intend to report on them to Prime Minister Harold Macmillan or other gov ernment leaders.

(AP) - United Mine Workers pickets were ordered home Thursday a few hours after a federal court issued second temporary restraining orner against tne union. Coal operators hailed the action. but said they were not convinced it would end the violence which has torn eastern Kentucky's coal Holds during the 54-day-old strike. Judge H. Church Ford issued ine orner, good lor live days, in U.S. District Court at Lexington on a petition filed by the National Labor Relations Board against UMW Districts W and 30.

H C Mrs. Luce Quits; Cites Morse Row WASHINGTON (API - Clare Boothe Luce quit today as ambas sador to mam u,cau;c cf h?: public row with Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Orc). President Eisenhower regretful ly announced her decision after an hour's talk with her at the White House. In a letter to the President, Mrs. Luce said: 'It is no longer possible for me to accomplish the mission which you have entrusted to me." Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagcrty told a news conference that Eisenhower sought to persuade Mrs. Luce to reconsider her decision to quit. But her letter gives the rea sons why she felt she could not reconsider her decision," Hagcrty said. Mrs. Luce, solemn-faced, stood beside Hagcrty as he announced her decision. She refused to make any comment on her decision oth er than that set out in her letter. Her letter said the "climate of good will was poisoned bv thou sands of words of extraordinarily ugly charges against my person. and of distrust of the mission 1 was to undertake." She did not mention Sen. Morse by name, but she noted that "the American author of these charg es is also chairman of a Senate subcommittee which handles Latin American affairs. Morse tried to block Senate ap proval of her appointment but was defeated by a 79-11 vote in her favor Tuesday. A few hours after this, Mr Luce caused an angry uproar by saying in New York that her trou bles began when Morse was "kicked in the head by a horse" in 1951. Morse called her remark proof she was not titled for the diplo matic post. He implied she was unstable mentally. In summing up her decision to step aside, Mrs. Luce told the President in her letter: Common sense indicates that the good will and support which the rest of the Senate has given will not be forthcoming from the subcommittee chairman (Morse). "A continuing harassment of my mission, with a view to mak ing his own charges stick, is the natural course the chairman would follow. And the sad fact is not that I, but Brazilian-American policy would be the victim. "11 therefore seems indisputa ble that at this time bfgrave ec Korea Chief KO's Paper SEOUL, Korea (API-President S y n g m a n Rhee's government closed South Korea s second larg est newspaper Thursday night, accusing it of erroneous reports and seditious comments. The 13-year-old newspaper, Ky- unghyang Shinmoon, was backed by a Catholic foundation and sup ported Rhee's political foe. Vice President Chang Myun. It had been highly critical of government domestic policies. It was the first paper shut down by the government since the-republic was formed in 1948. The action was taken under a U.S. mil itary government ordinance of 1946, when South Korea was under occupation rule. The publisher and a columnist of the paper already are awaiting trial on charges of advocating rebellion and criminal libel in an editorial published Feb. 4. A re porter of the paper also has been charged with violating the nation al security law by writing an article about investigation of a Communist agent. Lee Kwan Koo, chief editor of the 250.ooo-circulation paper and president of the Korean News paper Editors Assn., blasted the government action as an "un democratic and totally unwarrant ed action." Queried by newsmen, U.S. Am bassador Walter Dowling refused to comment on the merits of the action against the paper but clear ly indicated disapproval. t onomic difficulties in Brazil, the best interests of that country, as .uil . of ihp United States, will be served by your selection of an other plenipotentiary. "Again. I regret with all my heart that I will not have the op portunity to be of this service to you, to our country and to inter- American relations." Mrs. Luce declined to say what her future plans are. Youth Camp Support Withdrawn YREKA Because of the Inabil ity of the supervisors of Butte, Tchema, Shasta and Siskiyou counties to reach an agreement as to where to locate the four county youth camp, the Siskiyou board has received word that the state of California has withdrawn its appropriation of $60,000, for the construction of such a camp, for tnis year, at least. Siskiyou County supervisors were anxious to locate the youth camp at Newell, in Modoc Coun ty, but officials from the other counties offered a variety of rea sons of the non-feasibility of tha site because of its distance from their respective areas. The origi nal site at bnasta Lake was ve toed when residents in that area signed petitions against having a youth camp in that area. It is hoped that the state will make a new appropriation for the con struction of a youth camp next year. The boafd of supervisors also received a letter from Hie North ern California County Supervisors Association, warning them that if they accepted the recommenda tions made by tax consultants to the Coolidge legislative committee, the result will he a $538,958 tax change to the common property taxpayer in Siskiyou County from utilities. A request was also received bv the board from the Shasta Cas cade Wonderland Association for a $5,000 appropriation. Last year the board nad contributed $500 to the organization. Other action taken by the board at Tuesday's session was the ap proval of an enactment of a traf fic control ordinance ..for . Weed; approved the appelating of Nelson Bennct as constable for Sawyers Bar; and tabled, for an indefinite time, the considering of a forma tion of a Klamath River Hospital District, as was proposed by Rich ard Graun.
