HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Tuesday. THr. tt. 193 PAGE 3 B International Experience Required Of Politicos WASHINGTON (AP;-The pro posed series of summit meetings may cause both parties to put a premium on international experi ence In the choice of their 1960 presidential nominees. President Eisenhower, . along with the heads of Britain and I ranee, spoke of the desirability of a series of summit meetings Monday as they formally proposed a meeting with Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev in Paris in April. If the Soviet Union agrees, the timing of any subsequent sessions would be dictated in part by the progress made in the original Big Four talks. . But politicians here are of the general opinion that if the Allied idea is carried out, the next presi dent may find himself involved shortly after his inauguration in what could be a decisive meeting with the other heads of states. State Crops Reach Value Of $2 Billion . SACRAMENTO (UPI) Cali fornia crops reached a record val ue of nearly two billion dollars this year, according to the Cali fornia Crop and Livestock Report ing Service. . The agency said Monday that the new high of $1,925,135,000 was 8 per cent above 1958 and 14 per .cent higher than the 1950-57 aver-"ege. Last week, the reporting service said that a record 31,921,700 tons were harvested in California in 1959. Heavier production accounted for most of the increase in value the agency said, as average prices for many crops were lower than in 1958. The service cautioned that crop value estimates could not be equated with income to farmers. The value of crops is the gross value and includes all the farm er's production expenses. In re cent years, the agency said, two dollars of every three received "by farmers have gone to meet production costs. . Iri a more detailed breakdown of production figures, the service found: ' Field crops: Production hit a record 18,276,100 tons in 1959, per cent larger than the previous year. Record yields were estab lished for wheat, oats, grain, sor ghum, flaxseed, cotton and sugar beets. Field crop values increased 13 per cent over 1958, and at $910,- 250,000 approached the record lev el of 946 million dollars set in 1952. California's cotton crop this year was valued at $345,762,000. Fruits and nuts: Production -reached 7,658,600 tons, up 21 per " cent from the light 1958 crop. This .year's production was close to the record of 7,768.600 tons and the state's fifth largest. All crops were larger than last year, and new record highs were recorded for Bartlett pears and nectarines. Grape production was the fourth largest in history. Tree nut pro duction set a new record, with al mond production almost double the average. The aggregate value of fruits and nuts was $572,427,000, only 4 per cent above 1958 but 19 per cent more than average. Vegetables and melons: Com bined production of vegetables, melons and strawberries was down 5 per cent from 1958 mostly because of the reduction in pro duction of processing tomatoes, however, 1959 production of 5.987, 000 tons was the third largest of record. Aggregate value of vege table and melon crops set a new ! record in 19M of $442,458,000, 5 per cent above 1958 values. This is likely to emphasize at both July conventions the possi bility that the party may be nom inating the man who will have to deal with Khrushchev in efforts to end the cold war. Part of Vice President Richard LI. Nixon's current popularity is attributed in many quarters to the way he handled himself in his widely publicized "kitchen de bate" with Khrushchev in Moscow. Nixon also sat in on some of the Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks dur ing the Soviet Premier's visit to this country. New York Gov. Nelson A. Rock efeller, a potential rival for the GOP nomination, had a brief meeting with Khrushchev in New York during the tour. Both Rockefeller and Nixon have been under attack from the Soviets. Khrushchev classed Nix on as one of those he said didn't want to end the cold war. Pravda the authoritative Moscow organ recently jumped on Rockefeller after he said Soviet policy, backed by military power, threatened the very existence of the United States. While they might benefit from any summit agreement upholding Eisenhower's prestige as a peace maker, Nixon and Rockefeller are satisfied to have it known they are wary of Khrushchev's motives and tactics. This wariness is shared by Democratic hopefuls who believe that Khrushchev is going to dem onstrate at the summit an unwill ingness to yield any major con cessions on Berlin and other trou ble spots. Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D Minn), who had an eight-hour talk with Khrushchev in the Kremlin last year, already is taking the line that the Eisenhower adminis tration has been "too easy" with the Soviets. He contends a Demo crat as president would offer Stiffer competition" for Khrush chev. Among the Democrats, Adlai E, Stevenson has been the most con spicuous Khrushchev conferee. The two-time presidential nominee met with Khrushchev in Moscow last year and had one of the few informal talks Democrats man aged to get in with the Soviet Premier on his American tour. matter of FACT nr. Lurching over the Paris sky line of 1852 at six miles an hour, Henri Giffard exulted over the success of his new in vention the first aircraft en gine. That such a contraption got off the ground was surpris ing. The clumsy 350-pound, three-horsepower steam ensine had been attached to a hydrogen-filled airship 144 feet long. Its enormous 11-foot propeller slowly ground through the air producing the first engine powered flight. Encyclopedia Rrltannlca By WARD CANNEL MIAMI BEACH (S'EA) - There is not going to be an invasion of Cuba by anti-Castro forces. At least not yet. After conferences with members of the large, but disparate under ground and with American busi nessmen with large holdings in Cuba, I can report: 1. Business money Is waiting to back a sure winner and none has yet appeared on the horizon. 2. So, with no resources to make any kind of move, the anti-Castros are forced to watch, wait and con solidate inside and out of Cuba. 3. Meanwhile, Castro himself comes ever closer to what his enemies are certain is the end of the road. According to informed Cubans ! DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER ' INDIANAPOLIS Wl James H. Toleman, 30, was charged with : burglary by police who didn't be ilieve his story of losing a dime in a pay telephone. Coleman was .'found inside the booth with a ham- mer, screw driver, mallet, can opener and one very battered telephone. Ruling Hit By Sheriff PORTLAND (AP) - Sheriff Francis Lambert said Monday if his legal advisors approve, he will go into court to upset a Multno mah County Civil Service Com mission ruling that a shift he made in top brass was illegal. Lambert named Jack Matthews, former jail superintendent, his chief deputy,, and Capt. Gordon Auborn, captain of the uniformed division, as chief of the criminal division. The union that embraces the sheriff's deputies contested the switch on the grounds both had been jumped from one division into another and over the' heads of men who had seniority in the departments. The union also contended a civil service examination should have been held for the posts. They did not contest the other phases of the switch, in which the two depu ties who held the high posts were moved to others. Lambert said he considered the public interest "required that the sheriff, who is by law responsible for the actions of his deputies, should have the power to assign such . deputies to positions which he felt they could competently fulfill." Poison Peril In Milk Diminishes WASHINGTON (UPI) Gov ernment scientists said today that the danger of milk contamination by insect killers such as DDT is being reduced. Their statement followed publi cation of a 1958 government sur vey showing that some milk in 11 cities across the nation was tainted with substantial amounts of pesticides containing chlorine A spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said there was no evidence the insect killers cause cancer in humans. But he said the milk contamina tion was a problem "worth work ing on." The scientists credited two de velopments with cutting down the risk of milk being contaminated by use of the pesticides on cat tle feeds and in storage barns They said the FDA has warned the dairy industry it would crack down on any sales of impure milk in interstate commerce and educational drive among dairy men also has been effective. The FDA report Monday said milk samplings conducted in 1958, showed a definite reduction over the previous three years in the incidence of milk tainted with the insect killers. Scientists said there probably has been a further dip since last year. Of the 936 samples tested in the four-month survey of 17 cities in 1958, substantial amounts of the chemicals were found in 28 samples. The contamination showed up in some milk in these cities: Wash ington; Providence, R. I.; Buffa lo, N. Y.; Cincinnati: Denver; Wichita, Kan.; New Orleans; New York; Trenton, N.J.; San Fran cisco, and Seattle. Cities which were surveyed but turned up no trace of milk con tamination were Atlanta; Chica go; Minneapolis; Los Angeles; St. Louis, and Camden, N.J.

With a show of Cuban approval behind him, underground informa tion says. Castro shortly will make a tour of neighboring countries to stir up feelings against the U.S. At home, he will keep the re volution boiling by feeding more defectors and critics to firing squads, and by promising to arm his followers. "These are the traditional lac tics of dictators," an old Batista henchman says, "but they do not work among the Latins. I know I have seen what works." And so, underground joy can hardly be contained at the sight of more than enough rope in Ha vana. The delight reads as follows: The forced resignation of Castro's chosen president, Manuel I'rrutia, was acceptable to Cubans on Castro's say so. I I'rrutia had indicated the administration had been infiltrated by Communists.) The flight into exile of Castro's air force chief, Pedro Diaz Lanz. was all right, too. But then he f'.ew back and dropped leaflets on Havana, again indicting the ad ministration and signing his name. And now, in Camagucy, Castro is up against it again. One-time ardent supporter and Camaguey - ' ' --'I rrZ. k A f '( . , f A CASTRO RALLY in Havana: They used to come out for Batista too. Roosevelts Adopt Son LOS ANGELES (AP)-Rep. and Mrs. James Roosevelt (D-Calif) have adopted a son, red - haired Hall Delano Roosevelt. The child is six months old. He has been with the Roosevelts since he was three days old. Roosevelt and his wife, Irene Todas, were married July 1, 1956. The son of the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt form erly was married to Betsey Cush- ing and Romelle Schneider. He has two sons and a daughter by his first marriage. Both ended in divorce. ONCE COLLEAGUES, Castro later forced the resignation of President Manuel Urrutia. His enemies now lay this was one of Fidel's first steps toward destruction. Uncle Sam Wants Stamps WASHINGTON (UPI) - Uncle Sam has ordered the 100.000 gov ernment drivers to stop pocketing trading stamps when they buy gas and oil at his expense. He wants the stamps himself. The General Services Adminis tration (GSA), the government s housekeeping agency which issued the directives, did not say wnat Uncle Sam would do with the stamps. Officials of GSA and the Gen eral Accounting Office were said to be considering a possible deal with the trading stamp companies wherebv the government could turn in the stamps for a cash set tlement instead of merchandise. RECUPERATING HOLLYWOOD (AP) Singer Tommy Sands is recuperating from a minor virus condition. Doc tors expected him to be released today from a hospital. He was ad mitted Saturday. Seattle Pioneer Dies At Age 105 SEATTLE (AP) - A Seattle pioneer, who thought the world was getting better every year died Monday at the age of 105. "In the last 105 years everything has gotten better and better, Mrs. Sadie Emerson told a re porter who interviewed her on her birthday last April. Mrs. Emerson, who came here in 1899, had a formula for living "I'd rather have all my food raw, even hamburger," she said "That's the secret of long life. Eat most everything raw." Survivors include her sixth hus band, Charles. A jetliner flying at 35,000 feet starts its "letdown" for a landing 160 miles from the airport. FTC Invites Complaints WASHINGTON (UPI) Con sumers were invited today to take their complaints about phony bar gains and other deceptive selling methods directly to the govern ment for action. Officials of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued the in vitation at the end of their first Christmas-weck ettort to wise up the buying public on "trickery in the market place. The two-day conference, attend ed by representatives of 47 civic, professional and welfare groups, winds up today with a discussion of how job seekers are fooled by ''misrepresentation of employ ment opportunities." FTC officials said they hoped the talks would cement closer re lations between the government and the consumer. FTC Chairman Earl W, Kintner said the commission relies on spot checks, and complaints from business competitors and consum ers for information on shady bus iness practices. "But the most persuasive voice of all is the voice of the consum er," he declared. hero Gen. Hubert Matos has de lected. His aide has committed suicide to back up Matos' charge that Castro was selling Cuba out. Castro cannot ignore Matos. But he cannot order his execution either. And he cannot keep his old board of advisers because it makes true the bill of the Urrutia-Diaz-Matos indictment. In the ri'dsl of the mess (the word helpfully supplied by old 26th of July men who cannot under stand or explain Castro today) the anti-Castro underground is playing on every misstep in Havana for support in the U.S. regardless how it sounds. "We told you." old Batista men ay happily. "We warned you when that madman was in the Sierra Maestra. He is taking up the cruelty and thievery where Batista left off." And from a member of the new 26th of July Against Communism: "Don't go to Cuba. If the Castro men don't shoot you, one of ours might just to pin it on Fidel." In the end, there is agreement that American fears and interests must be played on (communism. Russia, profit, etc.) if any anti- Castro movement is to get support. But there still is major dis agi cement on what kind of a pro gram to follow. The new 26th of July Against Communism cries: 'Back to the Sierra Maestra. Fight Castro the way he fought Batista even If it takes an other two years." A Foreign Legion officer of the Dominican based forces says: "Invade. We have enough men and arms. We'll worry about get ting Trujillo out of Cuba after we're in power." And like wise, old turtles the Old Guard Bastista Exiles sit tight and tell you: "The overthrow must come from inside. And it will. So we are pre paring to come back not all of us. But most. "Do not believe those crowds who come out to see Castro. They came out to see Batista, too. "And all the talk and ranting "In Spanish it is said that a hundred people crying make a lot more noise than a thousand who keep their mouths shut." Ex-PNW Woman Facing Charges LOS ANGELES (AP) A for. mer Portland girl was arraigned here Tuesday on felony charges of kidnaping and robbery. Police accused Mary Lee Lan- try, 24, of pulling a gun on Peter Ovcrmeier when she jumped into his car Dec. 15 and of forcing him to drive her about and buy her breakfast. Police told Deputy Dist.
