FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY Management, Workers Asked By President Jo End Steel WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower today called on management and workers in the Heel wage talks to act for the good of the country and try hard to avoid a strike. Eisenhower told a news confer ence that both sides should keep on negotiating just as long as is necessary for agreement on a new contract. In New York, there was no com ment from either labor or compa ny officials. They were in what was called "detailed discussions" and for the first time in the ne gotiations decided not to break for lunch. Food was brought into the meeting. The Steelworkers Union has agreed to hold off on any strike until next Tuesday midnight, but the union president, David J. Mc Donald, said Tuesday there would be no further extension of the Strike deadline. 'Eisenhower, in response to a question, said he plans no govern ment intervention. . The President recalled that on June 27 he urged both sides to continue contract talks, without In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Havana: Premier Fidel Castro's revolu tionary regime was armed today with the DEATH PENALTY for a major onslaught against opposition to his land reform program. . Castro has proclaimed the land reform program as the fundamen tal law of his revolution and has defied every effort to slow it down or modify it. . What is his program? - Basically, he proposes to expro priate the holdings of big land owners, paying them for it with Cuban bonds whose value would be doubtful in view of the fact that his expropriation program would upset Cuba's economy, thus limiting her ability to levy and collect the taxes to pay off the bonds. The expropriated lands would be distributed among the Cuban peo ple in small tracts. On its face, of course, it sounds alluring. It conjures up visions of a happy and contented people, with each family living in its own palm thatched cottage, under its own bougainvillea vine, with" its own banana tree in its own back yard and its own pineapples growing in its own garden. There was a time in the day of the hoe and the hand shovel and the homespun' garment woven on the home loom and tailored by the hands of members of the family when it might have worked. But times have changed. Industry has changed. Especially Cuban indus try, which is based on sugar and tropical fruits. These require huge expenditures of capital and the supervision of trained minds. If Cuba's great sugar industry Is wrecked, Cuba's economy will suffer seriously. There will be tourists and gambling to fall back on, but they are not very solid ..foundations on which to base a na tion's economy. Let's take a look at our own area, whose economy is based on timber almost as extensively as Cuba's economy is based on su gar. If its full economic benefits arc tr be realized, timber requires hue investments of capital in sawmills, pulp and paper plants, woodworking factories, and so on. Sugar production requires im mense investments in sugar mills. Much qf our timber is blocked into large holdings the big timber and lumber companies, the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Man' agement, etc. Suppose our govern ment expropriated the private tim ber holdings, threw its own Forest Service and BLM and national park timber into the pot and divid ed it all up among all the people in small tracts. t What would happen? We all know wbat would hap pen. The economy of our timbered area would be wrecked. You can't EAT timber It has to-be manu factured into useful articles. Our timber payrolls would van Ish and with them would vanish (he prosperity of our area. That is about what will happen to Cuba It Castro's land redistribution plan goes through. No reasonably well informed person can fail to look upon Cas tro's program with a jaundiced eve. The probable result of it would be to wreck Cuba's econo my and throw the Island intg the hands of the communists. CAT BEATS RAP - NEW YORK l'PD Police re ported today that David Hill, 29, was "bitten on the right hand by stray cat who had crawled in his window. Cat not held." interruption of production, until a new contract had been negotiated. The union then agreed to extend j its July 1 strike deadline until! July 14. I Eisenhower noted that he did not suggest simply a two weeks i extension, but continuance of the' talks until an agreement was! reached. , j Today, the President said it is a pity that all of us can't proceed on the basic concept of what is good for the country and not have a strike at all. He repeated that the union and management should continue ne gotiations until agreement is reached. The President also dealt with these other matters in his news conference: SEGREGATION Responding to a question, Eisenhower said he believes racial segregation is morally wrong when it interferes with equal opportunity in political and economic fields. It was the first time since he took office that the President has expressed this specific view on the issue. Friendship Holds Key, Says Nikita MOSCOW (API Premier Niki ta Khrushchev told seven Amer ican governors Tuesday that friendship between the United States and the Soviet Union is the key to world peace. Khrushchev said the Soviet Union "wants peace with all na tions, but above all with the big gest and strongest the United States of America. "If there is friendship between us, there can never be wan" the Soviet Premier declared in a 3 hour and 45-minute talk in the Kremlin with the U.S. state ex ecutives louring the Soviet Union. Khrushchev said if another na tion started a war, the Soviet Union and the United States to gether could halt it. . 'But if the United States and the Soviet Union are ever in a conflict," he continued, "the re sult would be terrible calamity, because if we fight, no force on earth could ever halt us.'" Later in the talk, Khrushchev- stood fast on Soviet demands for Germany and Berlin which the Western Allies have repeatedly rejected. He said both West and East Germany should be recog nized and normal relations estab lished, and that West Berlin should be made a free city guar anteed by all countries and the United Nations. ' Asked by Gov. Stephen ' Mc- Nichols of Colorado why not allow the German people to decide their future in a free, all-German elec tion, Khrushchev said the East Germans don't want to see an end to their achievements and neither do the West Germans. He added that the East Germans won't give up their constitution. U.S. Seeking Lower Prices PORTLAND (AP) The federal government is shopping for iow- wer prices, brains and new man ufacturing plants to broaden the United States defense base, Vice Adm. E. W. Clexton said Tues day. He told Oregon businessmen al the opening of an exhibit of gov ernment weapons and technolo gy that more small business firm: must compete for governmen contracts. TAXPAYERS OCCUPIED all available seats in the county ceurt'i front office and over flowed' into the courthouse hall when the county Board of Equalization heard complaints about increased property assessments. Tuesday was the last day for filing protests, and a whopping1 total of 230 or mora, was received. Tone people came to back their pro tests in parson and mora war expected today. '.,.,- In bringing up the matter, a re porter asked whether apart from the legalistic aspects the Presi dent had any opinion on whether racial segregation is morally wrong. Eisenhower said he assumed the newsman was talking about seg regation under local law. Then he went on to say that where such segregation interferes with equal opportunity in economic and polit ical fields, 4t is in his opinion morally wrong. Eisenhower, in his reply, made no mention of segregation in edu cation. . KHRUSHCHEV Eisenhower said he docs not regard a visit to this country by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev as beyond the realm of possibility. He spoke, however, of the dif ficulties he said such a visit would present if the purpose were talks regarding international problems. If, on the other hand, such a visit were simply ceremonial, then the matter of what kind of recep tion Khrushchev would get in this country would be the only factor, he said. Price Five Cents 20 Pages LHHHIHMWIIIIMHlitonLinHMMMHHIIIIIIII Special Session Of Solons May Be Summoned By Chief WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower hinted broadly today he might call a special ses sion of Congress it he is denied the ulhority he wants for foreign aid spending. Eisenhower was asked at his news conference for comment on the Senate's action in voting to cut his mutual assistance request by 383'4-million dollars. The President said he is going to use all of his persuasive powers in attempting to convince mem bers of Congress they will be ig noring the security of the nation and the vital interests of the free world if they reduce foreign aid too sharply. ' ' In many instances, Eisenhower Cuba Officer Gets Asylum MIAMI, Fla. (AP) - immigra tion Director Edward P. Ahrens today announced Maj. Pedro Luis Diaz Lanz, resigned commander of the Cuban Air Force, has been admitted to the United States as a resident alien. Ahrens issued this statement: "Major Diaz Lanz, accompanied by his wile, applied for admission to the United States, on July 1, 1959, Miami, Ela., at which port they had arrived directly from Cuba aboard a small private boat. ... "Following examinations yester day, he has- been admitted as a resident alien and she has been paroled. He has requested that his whereabouts not be revealed at this time." Ahrens would make no further comment. He declined to give any hint as to Diaz' whereabouts. The former Cuban military leader has been accused by his successor, Maj. Juan Almeida, of desertion, treason, bribery and iealing with members of ex-dicta- or.Fulgencio Batista's regime. v 23:- ;4) ' Eisenhower was told that Khrushchev again has spoken of the possibility of the President visiting Russia. The President re plied that this was the first he had heard of the latest Khrush chev overture. For that reason, he said, he has not reached any conclusion. He went on to say that such a visit, too, also raises sev eral questions. For example, he said, the Unit ed States is a member of an in ternational group of nations an obvious reference to NATO and the United Nations. Those nations work together for peace, he said. In substance, Eisenhower thus ruled out any visits by himself or Khrushchev which could be con strued as efforts by the Soviet Un ion and the United States to set tle international problems without participation by other nations whose interests were involved. HARRIMAN The President hit indirectly at Khrushchev in ex pressing amazement if not disbe liefregarding remarks attributed to the Soviet Premier by former Gov. W. Averell Harriman of New York. . KLAMATH said, it is possible to get sufficient appropriations later if Congress fails originally to provide enough funds to carry on the program. The Senate is working on a bill to authorize the expenditure of funds which are to be provided! later. This bill in effect sets ' a ceiling on foreign aid appropria tions. Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don B. Johnson of Texas earlier had spoken out in an effort to head off further Senate cuts in the aid bill. ... -, . Eisenhower said If the authori zation is - reduced - to the, point where he can't go back to Con gress next year for what he con siders sufficient funds to carry out the program, be will have only one other recourse. He said that would be to call a special session. Eisenhower said vigorously he is never going to give up the fight tor the foreign aid program. Johnson appealed to senators of both parties to. stop additional cuts. . '.' . . t Just Smoke;! No Indians RAFT RIVER, Idaho (AP)-As the Oregon Centennial wagon train drew near Massacre Rocks, they spotted smoke rising into the air. The rocks were aptly named lor Indians used them as a fa vorite place for ambush against the pioneers 100 years ago. But Tuesday, the smoke turned out to be just smoke from a fire where a welcoming party was cooking breakfast for the 27 mem bers of the train. "''-. Bolstered, the wagon covered 24 miles Tuesday. Today, push ing on west, the train hopes to travel 23 miles, to Rupert, west ol here. , ' I The train is on a 2,000-mile-plus trek from Independence, Mo., to Independence, Ore. A reporter said that Harriman, in an article in Life magazine about his recent talk with Khrush chev, quoted the Soviet leader as saying that if the United States wants war. "you can have it." Asked what he thinks about that kind of talk, Eisenhower replied that he believes responsible peo ple should not indulge in any sort of talk which could be regarded as amounting to an ultimatum, or threat. DE GAULLE As for the U.S. announcement today . that this country is pulling three fighter bomber wings out of France, Ei senhower said he and French President Charles de Gaulle have long agreed that when they can get together they .will talk over all differences between the two countries. The wings are being moved from French bases because De Gaulle will not agree to storing U.S. atomic weapons on French soil. . , Eisenhower said he and De Gaulle, in talking about the pos sibility of a meeting in the future, never have singled out that par FALLS, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8. 195J FOREST FIRE DANGER TODAY KEEP OREGON GREEN Weather .Northern California Fair ana warmer.

'Cindy' Heads For Carolinas MIAMI (UPI)-Tropical , storm Cindy, tracked by Navy hurricane hunter planes and heralded by storm warnings on the ' Carolina c o a s t, - churned ' with growing strength through the Atlantic to day. Weathermen said it might become a hurricane during the day. ' Cindy, third tropical storm of the hurricane season, centered about 180 miles east of Charles ton, S.C., and packed, winds of 60 to 70 miles per hour. ' The U.S. Weather Bureau here warned that "a slow increase in intensity is Indicated, probably reaching hurricane force (above 75 m.p.h.) during Wednesday." The storm was discovered late Tuesday about 150 miles east of Charleston. Gale winds extended outward 125 miles to the east and 60 miles to the west.'

Copco Plans River Change SAN FRANCISCO (API A California Oregon Power Co. (COPCO) official - testified Tues day that his company's plans to build four dams on the McCloud River would bring about extreme changes in the amount of water running down the river. Wilbur L. Warren, ' assistant chief engineer, said the proposed foifr-dam project would start In 1962 - and be completed In six years. In that time, he told the California Water Rights Board water fluctuation would vary from a minimum 25 cubic feet per sec ond to 3,000 teet when the plant becomes fully operative. COPCO and the Pacific Gas Electric Co. have filed applies tion to develop McCloud River power. Warren's testimony came under cross-examination by James M Sanderson, a state deputy attor- nv 0Anral Fnrentina lh Pal. itomia Fish and Game Commis ticular issue. But the President left no doubt it would be discussed if they should meet. VETOES Eisenhower said that when he vetoes legislation he is thinking of the good of the United Slates. He made that remark when a reporter asked about the possibil ity his vetoes may boomerang and place him in a negative light so far as the public is concerned. After saying he acts always for what he considers the public good, Eisenhower remarked that he is not running for any public office. He said that when his second term ends in 18 months he will be through with politics. He added, he never uses his veto power lightly and he doesn't enjoy saying that specific legisla tion is bad. . Eisenhower's remarks added up to rejection by him of Democratic criticism of his veto of an omni bus housing bill. The President said ,his goal is to get legislation passed which will benefit the United States, and at the same time keep the country solvent. Navy Spies Into Future As Probes Into Sea Begin SAN DIEGO, Calif. AP)-ljavy officials said today that prelimin ary dives of the bathyscaph Tri este have convinced them that it is the forerunner of undersea de vices that will carry explorers to the earth's last ' great unknown frontier. Eight preliminary dives by the Trieste in this area, the deepest 4.000 feet have started a program that is aimed at giving man di rect information about the three fourths of the earth's surface cov ered by-the oceans.:': !:,.;: - Capt. .-John-, M. ' Phelps, com manding officer and director of Ihe Naval Electronics Laboratory, said the program was so vast that would take much time and money, to carry 'it through. But he and Dr. Andreas B.

Their views were supported by two-, internationally' famous 'pio neers in the field, Prof. Aiigustc Proves 'Dud' WASHINGTON (AP) There was no radioactivity in the mys terious barrel that washed ashore on the Southern Oregon coast Saturday, the, Atomic Energy Commission said Tuesday night. The AEC hinted the barrel may have been a hoax.'. , Nothing was found inside the barrel,' the AEC said, except a liquid.that apparently was water and on. J There were no identifying marks on the barrel such as are required in the waste disposal op erations of commission contract ors and licensees," the AEC said. The AEC - said, too, that the1 drum was painted with white enamel, whereas drums usually used to- dispose of radioactive waste are not painted white.

The U.S. position still Is, Eisen hower said, that the Soviet Union must respect the Allies responsi bilities with regard to West Ber lin, and the Allies must make sure that their rights are pre served. That is the foundation for the West's position, Eisenhower said. We are willing to negotiate on that basis and we have no desire to keep the whole world on edge. NIXON - If he personally become disabled, Eisenhower said, Vice President Richard M. Nixon would take over all of his government responsibilities in cluding the responsibility for de ciding about any use of atomic weapons.

Cameron was sane but "pathologically in toxicated." ' Dr. G. D. Tipton, chief of the DeWitt State Hospital, testified Tuesday that in an examination made Dec. 23, the day after the slaying, Cameron was "somewhat retarded, something like a hang over from alcohol or lack of sleep." , f The psychiatrist added that Cameron told hlnj he remembered striking the 50-year-old ex-WAC They had been drinking in her trailer. The testimony came at Camer on's second trial. The first ended in a hung jury. Dr. Tipton said Cameron had no doubt In his own mind that he had killed Mrs. Malone when he interviewed him the day after the killing. Cameron, an ex-Marine, was a student at nearby Chico State College at the time of the slaying. His home Is at Yreka.

AID Eisenhower promised to have inquiries made regarding what a reporter termed the diffi culties that newsmen have in get ting certain information about spending in the administration's foreign aid program. As for foreign aid cuts voted by both the House and the Senate, Eisenhower said' emphatically that he intends to use all his per suasive power in public argument against such reductions, j .Asked what else he could do in in, effort to restore cuts, in that program, the President said one possibility is to seek restoration in supplemental appropriation bills. Another possibility, he add ed, is a special session of Con gress to consider granting ' the money the administration teeis is necessary. In any event, Eisenhower said. he never will give up the fight. 4 Prisoners Treated For Tear Gas MONROE, Wash. (AP) Four hardened inmates, who held 39 hostages for 13!i tense hours dur ing an attempted escape, were under heavy guard Wednesday in the Washington State Reforma tory.
