That shows STRENGTH in the American economy. No military expert who has ever put his thoughts on paper has failed to recognize the supreme importances ef a strong and well balanced domestic economy. Why is that important? It's like this: 4 Inviting Mr. K to visit us and look us over is a long shot gam ble. It can pay off only if what he sees convinces him that Amer ica is too strong to be safely tackled. If he is convinced of that, he'll go home in a more PEACEFUL mood.t So- Let's show him our warehouses STUFFED with food. Let's let him see our stockpiles of strategic raw materials that are getting so big we're wondering what to do with them. '. Don t think he won t be im pressed. He's nobody's fool. He knows that ample food and raw materials are as essential to WIN NING A WAR as guns and planes and missiles. Capacity to produce BOTH in abundance is proof of invincible strength. What of Russia? Is she able to produce both food nd weapons in the abundance nec essary to win an all-out war? One wonders. For example: , Mr. K is reported to have de creed the other day that residents of cities in a number of the So viet republics shall no longer be allowed to keep livestock on .their premises cows, pigs, goats, chick ens, etc. . . . Why? The reason given for the decree was that keeping livestock in towns nd cities is TOO WASTEFUL OF FEED. That is to say: It is more economical to feed animals out . in ' the country, where the feed is grown, than to permit them to be kept in the towns where the feed has to be hauled in to them. That betrays WORRY about suf ficient food. Food is a basic raw material of war. It always has been. One of the primary strat egies of war is to blockade your enemy and starve him out. Anyway Let's not conceal from Mr. K Mir vaei staree nf fond Thev are proof of our ability to PRODUCE a super-abundance of it even while we are straining to build Immense armaments. Let's not conceal from him the fact that our problem is not the MAKING ef civilian gadgets lor our people finr nrnhlpm is tn SELL them That is proof of the fabulous ca pacity of our PRODUCTION sys tem. That proves strength. Strength is all Mr. K fears. Conference Soon To Get Senate Bill iiiiilMMMrinwriirii mmim 1 1 w im 1 iwinn BoooBrrViJMiMMJi 1 1 11 jui 'I jy " """"""" """"""l"""M"""l""M""""'M'u"",L 1 Price Ten Cents M Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 1959 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 6471 WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen (R-III) said Saturday he was certain the labor regulation bill would be sent to conference by the Senate early this week. Some Republican senators have urged that a move be made to ac cept the more stringent house bill, and send it directly to the White House. But Dirksen told a reporter he did not think the votes were avail able for success in such an at tempt. He said it might be a mis take in tactics in that it would be a challenge to the perogatives of the Senate leadership, and thus might solidify all Democrats in eluding the Southerners against the move to by-pass a 'conference. Sen. Barry Goldwater IR-Ariz, senior Republican on the Senate Labor Committee, also said he did not think it would be wise to make such an attempt. The Senate is expected to act on sending the bill to conference Monday or Tuesday. Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. (D-NC) coauthor of the original Senate bill, said he feared that sending the bill to conference might end any chance for legislation this ses sion. Other senators interested in the measure have said they were con fident a conference would be able to agree on a compromise bill be fore adjournment. Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass). chief author of the Senate bill, said he believed House approval of the toughest of the three bills, before it made Senate -House agreement, difficult. But Kennedy added he considered it the duty of Congress to get a bill this year. Ervin said he was willing to agree with other sponsors of the legislation that there were many areas in which the House bill and Senate bills are very similar. These include the sections on public financial reporting, regula tion of elections, control of trus teeships, bill of rights, and ban mng convicted criminals from serving as union officers. Key differences are in the Taft- Hartley law sections. The House bill has much broader secondary boycott and organizational picket ing sections than the Senate ver sion. On the so-called no man's land problem, there is a wide di vergence. .

'"Photo by Kettler ' k House Would Raise States' Highway Fund WASHINGTON (API A House committee has moved to raise by 200 . million dollars a year the amount apportioned to states for interstate highway construction for the next two years. The action was a follow-up to an increase in motorist taxes voted by the House, Ways and Means committee to provide need ed funds to keep the highway pro gram going for the two coming years. The billion-dollar tax boost was done by adding another penny to the three cents-a-gallon federal gasoline tax, effective Sept. 1. Rep. George H. Fallon (D-Md) behalf of the House Public Works committee, Friday intro duced a bill fixing apportionments to the states from the expected new revenue. The Fallon plan provides for somewhat larger state apportion ments than were contemplated by the Ways and Means committee, which recommended' an estimated $1,800,000,000 to the states for fis cal 1961 and two billion dollars for fiscal 1962. Fallon's bill hikes these esti mates 200 millions a year, to an even two billion for fiscal 1961 and $2,200,000,000 for fiscal 1962. A spokesman for the Public Works committee said the higher rate -was based on a belief more revenue would be available than estimated by the Ways and Means committee. He added that in any case the contemplated apportion ment schedule would only be ceiling. Under the pay-as-you-go high way construction program, the government supplies 90 per cent of the money for the 41,000-mile network, the states 10 per cent. NIGHT FLIGHT RUINS BRUIN DUNSMUIR Two motorists became Involved with a hear that had lost his bearings one night south of the Saeramento River bridge In residential Dunsmulr.

'Stay Strong To Face Reds Nixon Warns Air Force Tries Once More To Solve B-24 Crash Puzzle WASHINGTON (AP) The Air Force will make one last try next week-to solve the mystery of the "Lady Be Good," a B-24 bomber that crash landed in the Libyan desert 16 years ago. The plane took off from ah air strip near Benghazi, Africa, on April 4, 1943. It was on a bombing raid to Naples, Italy. It vanished and all these years it was assumed it went down in the Mediterranean with all hands. Then in May of this year a team Two Prisoners Flee From Jail LA GRANDE, Ore. (AP) - Two men overpowered a jailer and, es caped from the Union County jail here late Friday night. State police said the escapees were Larry Morand Cornelius, 16, and Brow Provost, 24.

Provost, police said, had been arrested on a forgery charge. of oil explorers found the "Lady Be Good" in the desert wasteland 432 miles south of Benghazi. Aside from its broken fuselage. the plane was almost intact. Its radio still was in working order. Tightly capped canteens were still half full of water and coffee. The guns were loaded but unfircd. How had it gotten there? And what happened to its crew of nine?" , . A military search team found eight markers made from para chutes, pointing north, a pair of flight boots, a helmet and a life jacket. The first of the markers was 18 miles north of the plane For three months the search yielded no clue to the fate of the nine airmen. Friday the Air Force said It would make a final effort, even if it involved mapping the whole area from the air. .Two Army helicopters will be brought in from Wheelus Air Force Base, Libya, to scout the surrounding desert. The trail left by the crewmen ends at the edge of the sanrj sea of Calanscio. .The place is avoid ed by the Arabs. They say it Is cursed by Allah. CHICAGO (AP)-A position of strength offers America s great-1 est hope for reaching agreements with the Soviet Union, says Vice President Richard M. Nixon. ! "Strength is the only thing the' Russian leaders understand," Nix on said. "I . mean military strength. When one side has more strength than the other, you got ultimatums , that could lead to war." , , The vice president said his re cent tour of the Soviet Union and Poland has convinced him the only hope for progress toward world peace is for the United States to deal from a position of strength at any future summit conference. Nixon, In Chicago for Friday night's College All-Star football game with the Baltimore Colts, expressed his views at a press conference and at an Informal talk to the Football Writers' Assn. of America.; ..I ; Nixon, in a television program recorded in Washington for New York stations in advance of his trip to Chicago, said Soviet Pre mier Nikita S. Khrushchev be lieves the United States is weak, sinking economically , and split over foreign policy, ) He said Khrushchev's forthcom ing visit to America will be worth while if it removes "his miscalcu lation" about U.S. strength and determination. The net effect, he added, could advance the cause of peace. . Nixon said the Soviets repeat edly had asked him "Why is the United States so heavily armed? Why do you have your bases abroad?" . Steinbock, pilot of the plane, and owner and opera tor of the Klamath Aircraft Service, suffered back and wrist injuries and Schiewe sustained back injuries. Con dition of both men is listed as good by hospital attendants. X-rays have been taken of the injuries suffered by both women and extent of the injuries has not yet been ascertained.
