Vice-President Nixon arrives in i
Moscow this morning for an 11-day
goodwill visit lo Russia. He is
greeted by Moscow Radio charges
lhat "certain persons in the
United States are trying to force
their dictates on the whole world."
He replies:
"The state ot affairs between
(he United Stales and Russia is
grim. But I pledge myself to help
achieve better understanding be
cause we have reached the point
where WF. MUST EITHER LEARN
TO LIVE TOGETHER OR WE
WILL DIE TOGETHER."
In this first skirmish of words,
f think our Vice-President held his
own.
From Cuba:
Havana, a city of more than a
million people, and all the rest of
Cuha were paralyzed for one hour
today by a strike called by Cuban
organized labor to demand Ihe re
turn of Fidel Castro to power.
Roadblocks were erected
throughout the city to prevent
movement of any traffic and the
quiet was broken only by the con
versalion of workers' idling in the
streets and sporadic parades of in
dividuals demanding that Castro
return to power. . ,
Fidel Castro is an engaging
young man. In his appearance last
spring before the American Socie
ty of Newspaper Editors he made
an excellent impression . on his
hearers. Many competent observ
ers believe he is sincerely trying
to bring greater freedom and op
portunity to the Cuban people. All
of u HOPE that is true.
But
This exhibition of FORCE is so
characteristic of communist meth
ods throughout the world lhat it
shakes our confidence in the purity
of his motives.
Let's turn lo pleasanler subjects.

That offsets a lot of gloom in
the news.
Lake county, on the Charles
Crump place between Adet and
Plush (within easy reach of High
way 395) brings in a geyser that
in the picture at least looks as
spectacular as Old Faithful. The
excellent suggestion has been made
that a state park should be cre
ated in the area surrounding it.
A thought:
A million tourist cars pass
through Southern Oregon and Far
Northern California every year.
Each car, according to the best
information, obtainable, spends
about $20 per day. Jf we could
slop each of these million cars
ONE DAY LONGER it would mean
the addition of 20 million dollars
to the economy, of our region. -
The problem is to STOP them.
Stopping them for another day or
so requires something spectacular.
What could be more spectacular
than a brand new geyser in the
ruggedly beautiful Adel-Plush sec
tor of Lake county?
The name ADEL has been loo
much for most of the newspapers
reporting the new geyser. So their
copyreadcrs have changed it lo
BEL.
Lewis McArthur, in his indispen
sable Oregon Place Names, says
it was named by Bert Sessions
th first owner of the land, for a
former sweetheart.
Plush, according to McArthur,
was named for a local Indian cele
brity who was a member of the
Piute tribe. His name resulted
from a poker game he got into
The game was a frame-up. The Pi
ule was dealt a flush by another
player who dealt himself a bel
ter flush. The bewildered native
couldn't pronounce FLUSH and
called it PLUSH. He is alleged
to have 'added: "Him hot damn
stuff."
Anyway, the town has come

Moscow today with a plea for
friendship. He found the atmos

Little Hope For Success,
Herter Informs Gromyko
GENEVA AP) U. S. Secre
tary ot Slate Christian A. Herter
told Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko today there is now
little hope for success of the Big
Four conference unless Gromyko
abandons key Soviet demands for
a stopgap agreement on Berlin.
Herter made a new attack on
Soviet proposals which he said
would reserve the Soviet threat
against West Berlin as a weapon
against the West and would also
turn over negotiations on German
unification to an East-West Ger
man committee.
He branded these Soviet propos
als obstacles to an accord and
said that unless they can be over
come there is clearly little hope
for ths success of the Geneva con
ference. ;
Though Herter did not'' say so
in the meeting at the Palace of
Nations, Western leaders wen
reported to feel their pessimism
about the outcome was confirmed
by statements made by Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

necessary to "liquidate the abnor

country would continue to "under

Gromyko vas reported to have

Herter said the Western pow

Berlin agreement not directly tied
to continued negotiation on a
German settlement. He also de
clared provision would be neces

in West Berlin would be changed
only by negotiation, never by

He also renewed the Western
proposal for continuing Big Four
negotiations on the future of Ger
