U.0F 0RE.LI3RART CO MP. la Tfc- I Day's lews Br FRANK JENKINS An interest ing proposal was of fered the other day by Senator Richard Neuberger of Oregon, who urged the congress to enact a broader prcrram of cancer re search as a fitting memorial to John Foster Dulles, America's great secretary of state who was struck down by cancer at the very moment when his exception al talents were most needed by his country. Senator Neuberger who himself has just emerged from a bout with the dreaded killer was testi fying at a senate appropriations subcommittee hearing on a money bill for the federal department of health, education and welfare. He told his colleagues that an expan sion of cancer research funds from 7$ million to 109 million dollars could be aimed at vanquishing the disease that took Dulles life. He added: "Can we dare to pinch pennies In the face of a challenge like that?" He was joined in his proposal by Senator Lister Hill of Alabama, chairman of the subcommittee, who pointed out that cancer has robbed the United States senate of some of its greatest leaders, in cluding Senator Taft of Ohio. Sen ator Vandenberg of Michigan and many other distinguished and pa triotic leaders. Here's a thought: Maybe we can accomplish what Senator Neuberger sugcests by PINCHING SOME PENNIES pennies that are being wasted. For example: There is the palatial new senate office building on Capitol Hill. It was originally supposed to cost about 20 million dollars. Its final cost will be closer to 30 million dollars. Why? Well, from all we can read in the papers, the job seems to have been VERY fuzzily planned. The floors, it is said, were of a special rubber tiling. After the building was occupied, it was discovered that they were very noisy. The click of the secretaries' heels and the rattle of the electric typewrit ers made such a clatter that the senators couldn't think. So- It was proposed to lay carpets over the tile. But . . . that would cost $150,000 extra. AnJ .... the carpets would have been so THICK that it would have been neces sary to cut off two inches from the bottom of the costly oak doors so they would open. That would cost more money, And- The new senate office building called for a new subway from the capitol building to the new of fice building, with cars to carry trs senators so they wouldn't have to walk. So that was tack led. When it was about finished. It was discovered that it came into the capitol building at the wrong place. So the whole end of It had to be done over at a cost of some four million dollars. And so on. Here's what I'm getting at: Things like these mean WAST ED pennies. In comparison with all the FABULOUS waste that goes on in our federal govern ment, they are no more than pen niesalthough to us taxpayers out here in the brush they look like real money. Senator Byrd has been telling, us for years that our whole federa' government is shot through with waste like this waste that could be avoided by the simple practice by our fed eral government of the kind of economy WE all have to practice in our OWN private affairs. iW all for Senator Neuberger's proposal. I think tt would be WONDER FUL. But t think it ought to he paid for by PINCHING PENNIES the pennies that are wasted. In the fantastic, sprawling structure that we call our federal govern ment there are plenty of wasted pennies to be pinched. B24 Mystery Baffles Experts WASHINGTON (API The Sa hara Desert has cast up a mystery as deep and baffling as any re corded in the annala of the seas. A World War II B24 bomber mhich had a crew of nine has been found in the waterless waste of Libya. 380 miles south of Bengazi. It was last seen 16 years ago when it took off from a Libyan base for a bombing raid on Na ples. Italy. The bomber lies there on the eand. scarcely damaged, pre served almost perfectly in the hot, arid desert air. Its radio still is in working order. . There is not a trace of the crew men who flew off on that mission in r43. No clothing, no written records. Water bottles, presumably tight ly capped, were found still filled in the cabin of the plane. Had the crew crash-landed in the desert and started to walk nut to civiliza tion, surely tbey would have taken all available water with them. If they had been killed in the land ing which caused so little damage to the plane, their remains would be there. Did the crew all hail out some whir else, as the Pentagon thinks Is likely? Then how did the plane fly on for hundreds of mikes t let down In a soft landing in the des ert? And why apparently did none f the crew survive? Ruforri L. Moore, Portsmouth. Ohio, father of on of the crew men, Hid he received a letter in Russians Threaten Vest Vith Balkan Installations LONDON (API Nikita Khrush chev said Saturday Soviet rocket bases will be set up in Albania and Bulgaria unless the Balkans are turned into a "rocket-free. non-atomic lone under mutual control." The Soviet Premier, addressing a big Moscow rally after flying home from a visit to Albania and Hungary, said the bases would cov er any rocket sites that Italy and Greece allow on their territory. It was Khrushchev's first men tion of Bulgaria as a possible base for Soviet missiles although he has previously threatened to es tablish them in Albania. Khrush chev said any attack on Albania Jewish Cleric Raps Bigotry In Elections PORTLAND (API The elector ate alone is qualified to decide if Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass) or any Roman Catholic, Jew qualified person can be president of the United States, a Jewish rabbi told his congregation here Fnda. night. Rabbi Julius J. Nodel con demned in a sermon at Temple Beth Israel what he called "wide spread intrigue" to prevent the election of a Roman Catholic. "The mere prospect of such a calamity," he aaid. "ought to move the heart of every Amen- c with dismay and awaken our minds to serious thought and earnest action in defense of that real freedom of conscience which is the hard-won crowning glory of America and the dearest jewel of our Judeo-Christian civiliza tion." The rabbi,, who leaves here in some three months to accept a call as senior rabbi at Temple Shaare Lmeth in St. Louis, Mo. said merely to raise the .question in our day and age is distasteful He described the campaign against Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, the 1928 Democratic candidate and a Roman Catholic, as or. v of the most unsavory chapters in the history of the United States. Rabbi Nodel said "whether John Fitzgerald Kennedy, senator from Massachusetts, or Edmund G. Brown, governor of California or any other Catholic or any Jew is eligible or qualified for the of fice of president ... is a matter for the American people to de cide, not for the Protestant Church or the Catholic Church or the Jewish Synagogue to decide, Yoman Hit By Vehicle A Klamath Falls woman. Perlic Kimbrough, 28. 1623 Etna, was hospitalized with a fractured left leg and head injuries as the result of being hit by an automobile about 4 p.m. Saturday. The ve hicle was driven by John Q.

She was moved to Klamath Val ley Hospital by Peace Ambulance. Sailor was not cited. BUBBLE BARRIER DOVER, Eng. (UP1I A barrier of bubbles is breaking up the waves that lash the port of Dover. Through a system installed two years ago, air is piped from the shore to the sea bed at the har bor's entrance, and then sent up to the surface as bubbles. This hreaks the waves down by about SO per cent. 1P43 from the War Department, saying the plane was returning from the bombing mission when it lost radio contact with its base and was presumed down in the Mediterranean. Did the crew bail out over the sea for some reason while the plane flew on safely to the south? . The Pentagon Identified the plane from its serial numbers. It released Friday night the names of the crewmen and their next of kin. In spite of the passage of time, relatives of all nine crewmen were reached Friday night. They said they had been notified by the War Department in 1943 that their loved ones were missing in action. A year' later they were told they had been killed. For 18 years the plane rested there and was seen by no one. Or. if some desert nomad came across it, he told no authority. It was found a short time ago by team of exploring geologists. The U.S. Air Force sent a plane crew to see the wreck and photo graph it from the air. And tt is sending experts overland to exam ine it more closely. Those aboard the plane, with next of kin as listed by the Penta gon, werev . , U. William J. Hatton, pilot: wife. Amelia J. Hatton. White stone. Queens, N.Y. His sister.

Therefore." he declared in re marks relayed by Moscow radio. if anybody tried to attack Al bania or another socialist country a destructive blow would be dealt to the aggressor by all means at the disposal of the countries of the Warsaw Pact." Khrushchev said Romanian pro posals for an atom-free Balkans zone have been supported by Yu goslavia as well as Communist nations in the area. It would seem, he said, that the most favorable conditions have been created for consolida tion of peace in the Balkans. But unfortunately these sensible peace-loving Romanian proposals did not meet with support from the governments of the non-Social ist countries of the Balkan renin- sula. "The Soviet government be lieves K would be most sensible to set up in the Balkans a rocket- free, non-atomic, zone under mu tual control. "If this proposal meets with no support and the aggressive policy of the Western powers is carried on in the Balkans, the Soviet Un ion, together with all the countries of the Warsaw Pact, will be fc.ed to set up rocket bases clos er to the bases of the aggres sors." Khrushchev also told the crowd: "Of course we can shoot at en emy rocket sites from the Soviet Union," the Soviet Premier told a giant rally at Lenin Stadium. "But why shoot fix f r away if they can be set up on Albanian soil?" These were, however, almost the only menacing words used by Khrushchev in the Moscow radio version of his 45-minute address The bustling Soviet Premier had earlier returned from a 12-day visit to Albania and Hungary. The generally mild tone of his speech surprised Westerners, who had expected him to use the occa sion for yet another blistering at tack on the West. Instead, Khrush chev told the rally "al1 people of good will are striving for the strengthening of peace throughout the world. The Soviet News Agency Tass reported the foreign diplomatic colony in Moscow turned out in force to greet him. Canada Chief Gets Message PRINCE ALBERT. Sask. (AP) Prime Minister John Diefenbak er Saturday received a message from President Eisenhower bounced off the moon and prepared one that may follow a similar course back to the President. The two leaders exchange greet ings on the opening of a new gov ernment radar laboratory here, to work with the U.S. Millstone Labo ratory near Boston. Diefenbaker announced at the opening cere monies that Canada will launch an earth satellite in 1961 with U.S cooperation. The President s message em phasizing cooperation between Canada and the United States was recorded by the laboratory here a few days ago from a Mill stone Laboratory radio transmis sion bounced off the moon. Die fenbaker's reply was sent to Bos ton for transmission via the moon at a later date. Diefenbaker said Canada is de signing a high-altitude rocket "which has every indication of being a highly efficient research instrument" and intends to pro vide instruments for rockets which will be fired by the United States.

Elks Eye By FLOYD WYNNE An inspiring boost was given the special vision program spon sored by the Elks Association of Oregon Friday morning when of ficials of the Portland lodge pre sented the committee with more than $5,000 Hi checks to further eye clinic work. The three checks from Portland lodge 142 came to a total of $5,472.50, and drew a tremendous ovation from the crowded lodge room at the Klamath Falls lodge. Tha figure was swelled to even larger proportions when other lodges throughout tha state of fered their club's contribution to the fund, but none were of the sue of the Portland aggregation. The report on tha eye clinic pro ject of the Elks was one of the first orders of business on the Friday agenda for tha annual con vention of the Oregon State Elks Association. Robert Mulvey. Oregon City, chairman of the Elkt Vision Com-. mittee, summed up tha first 10 years work of the group. He listed more than $236,000 as the amount lha Elks lodges of the state have contributed to 'the aye clinic at the University of Oregon Medical School during the past 10 years. "Mora than 1.00$ Oregon chil dren have been aided in their search for sight," Mulvey said, addinf that they ware children No Progress During Berlin GENEVA (AP'-Andrel Gromy- ko and the foreign ministers of the United States, Britain and France debated the future of Ber lin (or two hours Saturday. Inform ants said they "got absolutely no where." In a secret session at the resi dence of Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd of Britain. Gromyko stood pat on the Soviet's demand that the Western powers give up their occupation rights in West Berlin. Lloyd, Secretary of State Chris tian A. Herter and Maurice Couve de Murville of France were un derstood to have told him they would never give m or compro mise on this issue. Another secret meeting was set for Monday afternoon. East-Weft negotiations over the future of Berlin appeared stalled at the end of four weeks of spar ring both out in the open and in private sessions. Western diplomats believe So viet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko probably will make his rock bottom offer for a Berlin agreement and a summit meeting in the last 48 hours of the confer ence. They think Gromyko is awaiting new instructions direct from Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev. Gromyko said he did not plan to leave Geneva this weekend but speculation continued in the West ern camp that he might fly to Moscow to consult with Khrush chev personally. The four ministers arranged a secret session at the residence of British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd. U.S. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, French Foreign Minis ter Maurice Couve de Murville and Lloyd were expected to keep press ing for a Soviet guarantee of free access to West Berlin. Western officials said privately the three Allied ministers hold slight hopes of any immediate progress for resolving this and re lated Berlin issues. They feel Gromyko cannot give a final answer to their insistence the Soviets remove threats to West Berlin until he gets further high policy decisions from the Kremlin. The three Western foreign minis ters agreed among themselves be fore the outset of the conference they would wear down Gromyko at his own waiting game. That is still the official Western line, but Herter has reportedly told his allies- he was becoming concerned about the duration of the talks. It was learned at a dinner meeting Thursday night the West ern ministers tried casually to sound out Gromyko on how much longer the conference should run, but he declined to be drawn out on this point. The semipublic session at the Palace of Nations Friday brought only a fresh round of argument on the old positions so far as Berlin is concerned. , But it did produce a new man euver by Gromyko. He requested concrete plans from the West on two general proposals made three weeks ago in the Western' package program for a German peace settlement. The package was rejected by the Soviets at that time. Now Gromyko asked for more information on the proposal (or a nonaggressiott-..declaration by the Banker Lauds U. S.

Bimson was here to address the annual convention of the Utah Bankers Assn. Clinic Given $5,000 from every county in the state of Oregon. "This amounts to more than an average of $30 per child assisted during this period," he aaid. He also enumerated the fact that 17,000 visits to tha eye clinic had been supported by tha com mittee's funds. Listing the accomplishments for the first four months of this year, Mulvey stated that 315 new pa tients were given assistance by the group in the form of trips to the eye clinic as well as oper ations. In detailing the injuries of some of those children assisted, the chairman stated that seven had incurred serious eye Injuries from air rifles, nine children lost their eyes because of sharp instruments such as sticks and knives, and five children had lost their vision Train Death Toll Mounts To 48 SAO PAULO. Brazil (AP)-The death toll in the collision of two commuter trains here mounted to 40 today, police said. The state hospital. Das Clinicas, wnere most of the 100 injured were Uken, said the total dead may rise to 60. Police said the collision Friday night occurred when a signalman gave a green light to notn trains running on the same track in op posite directions. Reported Debate United States, Britain, Franca and the Soviet Union. He also wanted to know what the Western ministers had in mind when they suggested (ormation of a zone of limited armed forcea in central Europe. As advanced by the West, both these propositions were condi tioned on Soviet acceptance of the plan for German reunification in advance of a German p a a c a trenty. Gromyko wants to cut that link and treat them as separate issues. Herter, Lloyd and De Murvilla did not give an immediate reply. Station Sale Questioned By Publisher WASHINGTON U'PIl West Coast Publisher Sheldon F. Sack ett has petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to reconsider its approval of tha sale of Oakland, Calif, radio sta tion KLX. Sale of the station for $750,000 by the Tribune Building Co. of Oakland to Crowell-Collier Pub lishing Co. of New York City waa approved by the FCC on May . Sackett's petition was filed this weoK. The Tribune Building Co. ia part of the publishing enterprise owned by the Knowland family of Oakland Sacked named Joseph R. Knowland and his sons, form er Sen. William F. Knowland and J. Russell Knowland, in his peti tion. Sackett Is president and pub lisher of the Coos Bay (Ore.) World, and operates 13 weekly newspapers in California. He filed his petition as a citizen "for tha public good," but noted that ha planned to start a new daily newspaper In Oakland in competi tion with the Tribune. Sackett alleged in his petition that transfer of the radio station from the Tribune Publishing Co. to the Tribune Building Co. in 1933 was "fraudulent." He con tended the purpose of tha trans action was to give the Knowlanda control of the radio station. Ha said records showed that tha Knowlands controlled tha build ing company, but equally shared ownership of the publishing com pany with the heirs of Mrs. Her mina Peralta Dargie. widow of tha newspaper s founder, . Integration 1 - Requested ATLANTA (API-Atlanta school officials have been ordered to atop operating segregated publie schools and to present a plan far integration within a reasonable time. The U.S. District Court ruling Friday said segregated schools are illegal but it did not set a specific date for the end of segre gation in Georgia's largest school system. Judge Frank A. Hooper indicat ed that any final order would not mean integration next September in Atlanta, seat of tha government of one of the very few atatea without integration at any publie educational level. The decision brought a ' step nearer the showdown on whether Atlanta's schools will be integrat ed or closed. Under state law any school ordered integrated would automatically lose state fundi and could be shut down by tha gov ernor. Hooper specifically granted an injunction sought by 10 Negro par ents of 27 children asking an end to public school segregation in tha city. In a statement Issued at the end of the day-long hearing, the judge said his final order would cover these three points: from explosion of one kind or another. Mulvey pointed proudly to tha fact that New York state is now moving toward a similar eye clin ic program for that area, and have earmarked an annual grant of $25,000 to tha formation of such an eye clinic. He divided the work of the eye clinic into two phases, treatment and pre-school education for those who are visually handicapped. A tragic example In the form of four youngsters who have been benefited by the program sharply ' emphasized the need of the visual pre-school education. The four youngsters. Troy Mon ahan, Grants Pass, Debbia Free man. Medford, and Identical twin! Leslie and Laurie Montagu or Grants Pass, were guesta of the Elks at the clinic report. All four are visually handi capped. One of the twin girls ia totally blind and the other haa ex tremely limited vision. AU four are of preschool age. Their visual difficulties were listed technically aa retro lental fibroplasia, injuries due ta pre mature birth. In addition to the aye clinic, mora than 1. 000 F.Iks and their wives were participating in a ae ries of business sessions, golf, bowling and trapshooting tourna ments, and general tear f Us area. 5
