HERALD AN'D NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Thursday, .July 23. 195! PAGE THREE Train Passengers Comment On Events Of Wagon Trip KYSSA, Ore. AP The Ore gon Centennial Macon train's ar rival in Oregon Tuesday came with the thermometer edging toward 110 degrees. But one wagoneer remarked. 'The heat isn't so bad because we are just getting thawed out trom the freezing at the start." The wagons have been through rain, snow and heat and even saw tornado but the 28 members of the parly say they are having the lime of their life. Some would turn around and do Summit Asked On Cancer WASHINGTON (UPI)-Sen. Hu bert Humphrey D-Minn.) today advocated a "summit meeting" on health to organize an East West war against cancer. Humphrey said, "1 feel that So iet scientists have much to con tribute to the international con quest of cancer and that they earnestly desire to do so. - His statement was issued as the Senate subcommittee on reorgani zation and international organiza tions, headed by Humphrey, re leased a 40-page booklet titled 'Cancer: A Worldwide Menace." The Minnesota senator (lid not spell out the details of. the pro posed meeting, but pointed out that two million deaths annually result from cancer and that this almost equals the population of West Berlin. "If the major powers cannot agree politically on Berlin," he said, "let the leaders of the ma jor powers at least agree on try ing to save the lives each year of as many people as live in Berlin." Humphrey's views on interna tional cooperation in medical re search were received enthusiasti cally during the senator's eight- hour talk with Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev in Moscow ear lier this year. Humphrey said the world silua tion offers many clues to the cause of cancer that are not being followed up. For example, he said, the rate of breast can cer is surprisingly much lower in Japan than in the United Stales "No good detective passes up Important clues," he said. "If we knew the answer as to why that difference occurs, we might per haps be able to save the lives of thousands of American women, it all over again and others wouldn't. But those who wouldn't are glad they came on the trip. It doesn't seem possible," Mrs. Thyrza Felling of Hillsboro said of reaching Oregon. "This is the best reception we've had yet." The S9ers have some benefits the pioneers lacked. A 1,000-gallon water truck sup plies tne water, bridges cross streams which settlers had to ford and the Indians are friendly But they said traffic and the weather are the problems on the 2,2u0 mile trek from .Independence Mo., to Independence, Ore. The wagon train empties the 1,000-gallon tank truck every l.'i or 2 days, Bob Fineout of Hills boro said. "But we used a tank ful last Friday," he said. It was reported to be 120 degrees that day. "I sure was glad to see that sign to Portland, Fineout said. The wagon train members" went about their usual chores before joining the evening festivities in the Nyssa city park. Weaver Clark, 66, Hillsboro. went to find water for his mules. "They come first," he said. "We're quite a combination an Oregonian and two Missouri mules," Clark said. But he said they give him no trouble. "They know who is boss and we keep it that way. Ten-year-old Robbie Roberts II of Eugene, sporting a T-shirt with "Eugene Emeralds" across it said he would like lo make the trip again. "But many of the others wouldn't," the youngster said. One of the cooks, Val Johnson of Portland, said "We cook every thing you would eat at home." The wagons haven't been beset with mechanical difficulties ex cept for minor wheel repairs. But a supply truck traveling with the train had generator trouble. One 59er remarked as he crossed the bridge, "I wonder if Oregon has been granted state hood yet." Commie Paper Raps U.S. For Anti-Red Campaign MOSCOW (UPP-The Commu nist Party newspaper Pravda ac cused the United States today of plotting a new and provocative anti - Soviet campaign. The charges cast a shadow on the forthcoming visit of Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon. A three-column article in the party newspaper asked how Pres ident Eisenhower reconciled his professions of friendship with the Soviet Union with the congres sional resolution July 17 asking prayer for enslaved nations." It was one of the sharpest at tacks on U. S. policy in recent months. Because it came on the eve of Nixon's arrival and the opening of the American Exhibi tion here, observers believed it might have some effect on the reception of the vice president Pravda itself pointed up the connection. "This week the American Ex hibition in Moscow will be opened and as public opinion in the U.S. S R. and the U.S. hope it should serve lo consolidate mutu al understanding and peace be tween the great powers," Pravda said. "But the question naturally arises how to reconcile the mes sage from President Eisenhower to (Soviet First Deputy Premier Froll Kozlov of July 14, m which he voices the hope for a consid erablc improvement of mutual understanding between our lions and his declaration of July 18 which contradicts that hope? "It is possible that certain American leaders would like to include the American exposition m Moscow among 'the ceremonies and measures' of their propagan da week? What specifically aroused the newspaper s ire was the con&rcs sional resolution calling for an enslaved nations week." Premier Nikila Khrushchev mentioned the resolution Tuesday night in Warsaw and said, we think the only enslaved countries are the capitalistic ones." Khrushchev also said of the Nixon visit: "I suppose he has good intentions. I cannot under stand one thing. What is his aim?" Pravda bitterly denounced pre posterous publicity declarations about 'freedom,' in the United States" and said the United Slates is a paradise only for the capitalists and "enslavement for the working people." "One cannot help but laugh at the vain attempts of American of ficials to find 'enslaved' people in NEGRO EDUCATOR NAMED NEW YORK (UP1) A Negro educator Tuesday was nominated for the post of associate superin tendent of schools. The name of Dr. . John B. King. 50. was sub mitted to the Board of Education by Superintendent of Schools John J. Theobold. The board is expect ed to approve the nomination Thursday, making King the first Negro to become an associate superintendent. Dissension Rips Iraq :- BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) -Egypt's Middle East News Agert ry today reported new dissension in the Iraqi army during the re bellion in Kirkuk and other cities of northern Iraq. It said that in some cases sol diers were joining Communists and in others they were taking the side of anti - Communists ' in pitched battles that have raged in the area for more than a week MENA repeated that it had con-, firmed a death toll of 830. West ern diplomatic reports have placed the death toll at between 20 and 100. Iraqi Premier Abdel Karem Kassem's government has clamped down on news of the Kirkuk fighting and it was next to impossible to get authoritative, independent reports of the de tails. MENA reports told of a police chief -being beaten by Communists ct Aneh, six Communists killed in a clash at Alhindiya, four killed and 60 wounded in a Communist attack on the government house - at Hill a and another battle at Ramadi.

Pravda said the congressional resolution was part of a "new provocative anti - Soviet cam paign."

Ingredients: you start with t beautiful stand of timber filled with wildlife, clear streams, and campgrounds. Then add people. Only one thing else is needed to create Stumpland: carelessness. You cannot argue with the facts: 9 out of 10 forest fires are manaused. These fires result from simple ' thoughtless acts ... a flipped cigarette, an abandoned campfire, an unguarded trash fire. - America has enough Stumplands already. Don't you create more: .
