Wheth er it can reach such an agree ment when it reassembles on July 13 is on the knees of the gods But it is improbable. . The big thing at the moment is that the Soviets haven't decided to SHOOT US OUT and that we haven't decided to SHOOT OUR WAY IN with reinforcements if East German communisLs replace the Soviets in the Berlin situation Alter all What difference would an agree- ment make? The Russians would beak it whenever it suited their purposes to do so. Our job is to remain so strong that the Russians won't regard it as safe to start a war. If you're interested in ruckuscs, keep your eye on Louisiana. What is happening there is very inter esting. In particular, watch this mant Lethcr Frazar. who is Louisiana's lieutenant governor. He seems to be the exact opposite of the Long tribe. He started out as a history teacher in Longville, La. He has been president of Louisiana's Southeastern Institute at Lafayette and later was' president" of Mc Neese State College - at Lake Charles. His ambition was said to be to wind up. -as president of Louisiana State University, but he got side tracked into politics and was elect ed lieutenant-governor. He was eTc- peeled to be elected governor in 10 with relatively little trouble. Then , He collapsed from overwork a few months ago. He may have had a light stroke. At any rate. Governor Long .came out quickly with an announcement that he was going to run again. Shortly after ward, he went off his rocker. Who will be governor in the in terval between now and the next election hasn't been officially de termined as this is written.

Rejection Of Strauss Leads To Controversy WASHINGTON 'API- The Sen ate's Republican leader says his party should not censure the two GOP senators who voted against confirmation of Lewis L. Strauss to be secretary of commerce. Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Illi said the GOP leadership had tried to avoid making the confirmation vote last week a party issue. Sens. Margaret Chase Smith iR Maine and William Langer (R NDi voted with 47 Democrats against Strauss' confirmation. As it turned out. their opposition pro vided the margin of the 49-46 re jection of Strauss. The national convention of Young Republicans meeting in Denver last week criticized the two senators, accusing them of "un-Republican and unstatesman like conduct." But Dirksen told a television audience Sunday that although he wag disappointed at the result, he does not quarrel with individual Storm Lashes Salmon Fleet ESCUMINA5. N.B. AP At least- 34 'fishermen were dead or missing today as searching planes scoured the Northumberland Strait for survivors of the week end storm that battered the Gulf of St. Lawrence fishing fleet. Twelve men were known dead and 22 were listed as missing. The Royal Canadian Air Force reported 22 derelict boats were spotted by search planes Sunday along the 30-mile coastline be tween Point Escuminac and Rich- ibuclo. There were no signs of life. The storm, described as the worst in 30 years, caught at least 30 salmon boats as it lashed the slrait between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The fleet was Put in force to meet the heaviest salmon run in 10 years. Two survivors were kept alive by an air bubble in the cabin of their overturned boat. Hilaire Gauvin. 25. and Germain Chan son. S3, both of ' Lameque. were trapped in the cabin when their boat capsized. Another wave righted the vessel. Gamin's uncle. Capt. Charles Gauvin. S3, was washed overboard. Fishermen accused the weather bureau of failing to warn them of the approaching storm. The Halifax Weather Bureau said gale warnings went out Fri day night, but the fleet was out by then. j' senators who do not see things the way he does. Sen. Richard Neuberger ID-Orel said Sunday Senate supporters of Lewis Strauss for secretary of commerce helped defeat him by raising "false and unjustified charges of anti-semitism." President Eisenhower's nomina tion of Strauss for the cabinet post, submitted Jan. 17, was re jected by a 49-46 Senate vote last week. Neuberger, who voted against the nomination, said in a state ment that early in Ihe debate Sen. Hugh Scott iR-Pal and oth ers had ascribed some of the op position to Strauss, a Jew, to re ligious prejudice. Noting that he himself is of the Jewish faith. Neuberger said he has known for many years such leaders of the opposition to Strauss as Sen. Warren Mag nuson (D-Washi, Clinton Ander- on (D-NMI. A. S. Monroney ID- Oklai and Joseph C. O Mahoney D-Wyol. i "These men are as completely Mee from religious prejudice as any people I have ever known," Neuberger said. "They do not have an ounce of bigotry in their bodies. . : Tne false -charge of. anti-. scmitism," ha continued, "was an insult and an outrage against men who actually Jiave been real leader.'- in the realm of tolerance, brotherhood and interfaith under standing." ' Neuberger said he is convinced that the raising of the anti-semit ism issue damaged the cause of Strauss "among senators who re stilted the exploitation of religion in a situation where no prejudice ever had been shown to exist.

(API - Louisiana, thrown into political turmoil by her ailing governor three weeks ago, ,faces momen tous questions, some of which may be answered this week: ' 1. Is Gov. Earl K. Long legally insane? 2. 11 not. can he get out of a state mental hospital? 3. Meanwhile, who is the state s chief executive? Physicians who visited Long Sunday at . Southeast Louisiana HospHalT-84'niileg-east'irf'tlTe capi tal, reported he was "quite co operative and his general condi tion satisfactory. Five days ago the governor, cursing and fighting, was taken to the mental hospital in Mande- villc. La. He was arrested near here after he had sped away from a New Orleans hospital. Dr. Chester Williams, coroner for East Baton Rouge Parish, ajnd a psychiatrist said Long was suf fering from paranoid schizophren iadelusions of persecution. Long was ordered taken to the mental hospital for observation and treat ment. 1 Long, who was on his way to the capital to resume executive powers when he was arrested, has engaged counsel to protect his legal rights. Joseph Arthur Sims of Hammond. La., was named his chief counsel. Sims, who conferred with the governor for an hour Sunday, said Long apparently was in good health and spirits. He would not say what legal action was planned. Speculation centered on two pos sible courses: a sanity hearing here, where the coroner took the committal action; or a court hear ing in Covington where tbe gover nor, claiming he was illegally re strained of his liberty in nearby Mandeville, might sue for a writ of habeas corpus. During Long's sojourn in Galves ton. Lt. Gov. Let her Frazar auto matically became acting gover nor. When Long returned to the state Frazar riestioned his au thority to act as governor. Queen Elizabeth Hobnobs With Canadian Laborers CHICOUTIMI. Que.

She and Prince Philip are mov ing through the fast-growing in dustrial region of Saguenay. north west of Quebec City, heading for a meeting with President Eisen hower and the official opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway Friday. They are visiting aluminum paper mills and hydroelectric power plants today. They have already taken a close look at oth er evidences of Canada's rapid in dustrial development including a spectacular open-cut Iron mine on the remote edge of Labrador. Standing on the floor of that mine amid swirling clouds of red dust and fierce heat, Elizabeth asked to speak with six members ol pit crew.

Both sides denied knowledge of a re ported effort by federal officials to settle the dispute. "All I know is what I read in the papers." said David J. Mc Donald, president of the United Steelworkers ol America. "No one has contacted me about any thing." - R.- -Comad-Oflpeef'euttvr vice president of U S. Steel Corp., and top management representa tive, declared, "We also know nothing of any such move." Cooper is to be in Washington tonight to see Joseph F. Finnegan. national director of the Federal Mediation Service, and to dine with a group of senators. The current three-year contract in the basic steel industry expires eight days from now. If no agree ment on a new ; contract is reached by then. 500.000 union members will almost certainly strike in plants that produce 90 per cent of the nation's steel. The negotiations, which started May S. are still deadlocked. Although ''resident Eisenhower has declared the government shall maintain an oflicial hands-off poli cy, it was learned in Washington the government was sounding out both sides on the compromise sug gestion. . Everything being done in behalf of the compromise proposal was very informal. But Ihe behind-the-scenes activities of some govern ment officials were increasing as the contract expiration grew clos er. The industry held out for weeks for a one-year freeze on wages and other benefits, contending that this would help curb inflation. The union has been demanding a sub stantial wage increase not yet specified along with a cut in the normal 40-hour work week and other benefits. r ' iz i rt fE: rj t ifM i " i ii . i v mmi f ..7 ..

JUNE 22. 1959 Telephone TU 4-8111 The present average wage of a atcelwoi kcr is $3.03 an hour. The 1 steel companies with which the union is talking argued that a wage increase is inflation ary that it inevitably would force them lo raise steel prices. There- lore the industry proposed a wage- Irccze lor another year. A price increase in steel, which is used in so many other lields of American living, traditionally hat Lfccn. rejarded 6.b, aUijtiag point lor price increases in ouier businesses and industries. ; The Steelworkers Union con tends company profits are so high a wage increase could oe ao sorbed without passing it on in the form of higher steel prices. On June 10 the industry pro posed dropping its wage-freeze po- sition provided the union made concessions on about eight differ ent parts of its contract. Union President David J. McDonald re jected this, calling it "industrial blackmail. From the very beginning Presi dent Eisenhower has urged both sides lo use self-discipline because of the effect he thinks their de cisions will have on the rest of the economy. He pleaded against setting off a wuge price s p i r a 1 that would boost living costs generally. Last Friday Ihe government's figures showed living costs hit a new rec ord high. The National Assn. of Manufac turers got in on the act by lining up with the steel industry, lt urged a wage freeze lo prevent inflation. ' ' The AFL-CIO jumped in, too. Its executive council backed up the Steelworkers by arguing a wage freeze in steel and other indus tries would cause further unem ployment and economic recession, eanwhile. both sides have tried to prepare the ground for blaming each other if a steel Istrike comes: the industry putting " ; iMMMJUWMIUUUUa No. 642T Over Talks the responsibility on the union, th union on the industry. It may seem to the general pub lic that both sides would look lot more adult if they cut out th mumbling which is really stall ingand got down to cases. Art Gallery Near Reality The Klamath Art Center cam nearer to becoming reality over the weekend by a shovel of earth turned by Mayor Lawrence Slater. Bids from contractors who ar interested in erecting the smart, modern gallery will be opened at p.m. Monday, June 29. T h building should be completed by August 1. . Nina Pence, Art Association member and the architect who de signed the structure, said she ex pects the building to cost about $10,000. The association recently received $3,750 from the Oregon Centennial Commission and it hat collected about $3,000 in cash and a lot of materials from merchants and art patrons around Klamath Falls.
