If we knew that, we'd be In a lot better position to appraise the possibilities of war and peace in the relalnely immediate future, i But we .don't know. And Russia Isn't going to tell us. Nor is she going to give us any inkling of her intentions if she can help it. Let's turn to o 'ier aspects of (he Russian situation. . For examples What do the common, ordinary Russians think of us as PEOPLE? How do they regard us? As ENE MIES, to te hated? Most thoughtftil visitors to Russia bring back the same- story. It is an INTERESTING story. Possibly a significant story.' Roughly, it is this: The Russians, meaning the com mon, everyday run of Russians, DON'T hate us. They are intensely Interested in us. They want to know how we live. What we have in our houses. What we do for a living. What kind of houses we live in. What we do for relaxation. And so on. In other words, they are inter ested in us in just about the tame way we are interested in them. Are they friendly? , Or suspicious and unlrirndly? Nearly all thoughtful travelers who get an opportunity to talk to Russians in their, homes, on their home town streets, at-their jobi ANYWHERE away trom com irtunist officials or Russians of any type who might carry tales to communist officials, report that the Russian people are FRIENDLY. That is to say: Among the Rus sian people, there is no hatred of Americans AS AMERICANS. On the other hand, there is Interest and friendly, curiosity. That story is brought back by so many Amer ican travelers that we have to ac cept it as reasonably true. That brings up a fact that is very Interesting indeed. In World War I. as veterans of that conflict will undoubtedly con firm, there was little hatred among common, ordinary Ger mans of common, ordinary Amer icans. They fought us because we were THE ENEMY. Nor -. Among us Was there any particular hatred f Germans as Germans. We took our hating out on , the Kaiser Much the same situation existed m World War II. The German fought us as ENEMIES. We Tought them in the tame way. We took ur bating out on Hitler. der to disseminate information on the state of Oregon apparently has triggered a rebellion by group of Butte Valley women. Notice of the secession move ment was issued by an all-woman political group who have named themselvea the "State of Utter Con fusion." In addition to naming a com plete slate of officers for their new state, the women issued their reason for the secession. The communique read in part, The people of Butte Valley have long resented the treatment re ceived from the representatives in this great state of California. They feel they have a lot in com mon with Southern Oregon. They rejoiced with her on February 14 and felt they were a part of the new state of Jefferson. They made plans to help celebrate this 100th birthday. While all this was going on in Butte Valley, the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce was also making plans. . "These plans included an infor mation booth at the state line be tween Dorris and Klamath Falls. Why the state line? Are we in Butte Valley to be ignored again? Why not place the booth at Dorris.

Earlier in the day Gromyko had introduced some new proposals for t Berlin solution proposals which still contained a negotiable time limit extended from a yeir ,o 11 months for the survival of the allied occupation regime in West Berlin. The West has per sistently , declined to accept the deadline idea. It is the general expectation among some Western diplomats here that leaders of key coun triesthe United States, Britain.

Eisenhower said further that if the nation is to be denied the right to have otficials of proven ability and integrity in responsible gov ernment positions, then "indeed it is the American people who arc the losers in this sad episode. The statement was squarely in line with the position the Presi dent has taken throughout the long fight that Strauss is an ef fective, dedicated and upright pub lic servant.

Small rises in prices for prac tically all types of consumer goods lifted the Labor Depart ment's cost index one-tenth of one per cent from the April level. At 124 per cent of the 1947-49 base period, the index was the highest it has ever reached. And the prospect is for a fur ther small increase during tha summer months. In reporting the figures' todaVr the Labor Department said spend able earnings of factory workers, meaning their pay after federal tax deductions also hit a record. The average for the factory worker heading a family of four was (81.03 a week. It was $73.-19 for the single factory worker. These earnings each were SS cents higher than the record-set in April. .' ' The department said the rise in spendable earnings was due both to longer working hours and high er pay rates. The buying power of the work er is up about 9 per cent from a year ago because living costs hava changed very little since then. H. E. Riley, price chief for tha department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, said, the living cost in dex has been moving within an extremely narrow range for a year. The May index was only three-tenths of one per cent above the May 19S8 level. But Riley said that while ha would call the level of living costs stable, the index probably will continue to rise during the sum mer months if food costs increasf as they usually do up until tht fall harvests. Approximately 100.000 aircraft workers will get a penny an hour pay boost based on the May in dex. The workers are employed at the Fairchild. Hughes, Martin and North American aircraft manu facturing companies. 6 --.... AM V" XE08 iWik J Oldtimers To Reminisce During Railroad Days RAILROAD DATS art scheduled for Dummu ir this weekend.
