U.OP ORB.LIBRARf CO CP. NE13PAPCR 8BCUOM OEN.REF.ANO DOCIMOITS DIV. la The- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The 40-million-member National Council of Churches, which is meeting in. San Francisco, hears a report this morning by its Division of Foreign Missions. The report deals with conditions and problems in two of the hottest spots in the foreign affairs field the Congo and Cuba. Here are some of the high spots of the report: The communists miscalculated in Africa (the Congo.) They have gained a strong foot hold in Cuba, but haven't neces sarily WON OUT yet. The Congo report is based on the findings of a missionary Dr. George Carpenter, of New York, who is one of the secre taries of the International Mis sionary Council, He says: "The communists staked too much on a very small group of Congolese leftist leaders. B u t they underestimated the basic INTEGRITY and discernment of most Congolese leaders, who fear Russia and are aware of the danger of falling under commu nist domination." Which is to say: Dr. Carpenter thinks there are DEDICATED people among these Congolese leaders. He doesn't say so in so many words, but he obviously believes we should back these dedicated leaders with sym pathy and understanding not necessarily muitary torce. The Cuban report is based on the findings of Dr. Howard Yoder. He too is a missionary. His field is Latin America. He says: "A social revolution was long overdue in Cuba. The fact that Castro accented (and solicited) communist aid and backing does not necessarily make him a com munist." Dr. Yoder thinks Castro probably tried to use the com- munsus to help nim sei up a dictatorship of his own (perhaps after the pattern of Batista, wnom he overthrew) and got caught in the web he spun for that purpose. The retract (to the National Council of Churches, by its Dl vision of Foreign Missions) con eludes with these significant words: "We must not write off REVO' LUTIONARY situations as lost to Hip Christian cause. THE GOS PKL ITSELF IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF CREATIVE REVO LUTION." Can anyone doubt that? I think not. Jesus was the GREAT REVO LUTIONARY of all time. I can't help thinking that per haps we need to rely more on the reports of these dedicated missionaries than even on our diplomatic services. More, pos sibly, than on United Nations, which governs itself by diplomat ic procedures. We need to be brutally realistic on that point. Of necessity, everything considered, our diplo matic services tend to operate in the rareried upper atmosphere of diplomatic procedures. They seldom get very close to the kind of people who start social revo lutions as a means of bettering the lot of the people who live at the lowest levels. The missionaries (the real missionaries, the DEDICATED missionaries) get CLOSE to the people. They tend to be governed NOT by protocol but by the sim ple doctrines of Christianity. They feed the hungry. The medical missionaries among them minis ter to the sick. They mend broken bodies. Things like that IMPRESS the kind of people whose urge is to REBEL against what is in the hope of getting for themselves something that is BETTER than what they have. This report to the National Council of Churches opens up some subjects that are worth thinking about.

City police said the car, a deep red 1949 Ford, was spotted in front of a laundromat on East Main Street. The informants stated that the car was a two-door model, had a broken grill and had primer spots on both sides and the hood. Two men and a woman were supposedly seen in the car. This description matches one put out Sunday by Portland pohee In an all-points bulletin. Three teenage youths called city police and reported the Sighting at 6 p.m. after they read about a similar car la Monday's Herald and News. They said they had seen the car in front of the laundromat during their school lunch hour. The report was too late for police to set up roadblocks but a complete check of the city was made, including motels and hotels. No trace of the car was found. Peyton's body was found in a wooded area in northwest Portland a week ago Sunday. He had been stabbed 23 times. His girl friend, Beverly Ann Allan, 19, Port Townsend, Wash., has been missing since the murder. It is thought that she has been kidnaped by Peyton's murderer. Young Peyton was a nephew of Calvin and Frank Peyton of Klamath Falls. City and state police have been alerted in an attempt to relocate the mystery automobile.

Joseph Mobutu today denied that ex-Premier Patrice Lumumba has been tortured and disfigured in prison. But he re fused to release a report by two doctors who examined Lumumba. Mobutu said the doctors, Bel- gians serving in his Congolese army, found Lumumba's "gener al state of health perfectly satis factory. He then read from a certificate by the doctors that Lumumba is receiving "all the medical care re quired of his condition." The certificate as read said nothing specific about Lumumba's condition but Mobutu said the ex- premier has "one foot slightly sprained and his left eye swollen as a result of the beating he re ceived from Mobutu's soldiers when they arrested him last week. U. N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskiold asked Congo Pres ident Joseph Kasavubu to permit examination of Lumumba by the International Red Cross. He said Lumumba's seizure raised general fears for his safety. U.S. Invasion Threat By Owls NEW YORK (AP)-The United States may be facing an invasion of snowy owls from the arctic. The owls, about two feet long from beak to tail tip, have been seen as far south as Long Island. the National Audubon Society said Monday. The birds are likely to go on exodus once every four years. The owls white but flecked with brown are harmless and are protected by law in New Eng land and New York, among other states. They hunt in the daylight feeding on rats and mice.

He defeated his closest compet itor, incumbent Fred Lewis, nearly two votes to one. Putnam's total was 232 and Lewis', 148. Other candidates and the votes they re ceived were: Arthur Anderson, 91; Ray Bramwcll, 61; Ray Brollicr, 122; William Gocn, 51, and George Schricber, 139. Putnam will serve for three years beginning Jan. 3. A mem ber of the three-man board is elected each year. Other mem bers ate Carl Yancey and Walter Nitzcl. More people than ever, since the district was formed, turned out to vole in this election and their interest may have been prompted by some problems the district faces, including the pend- ing quarter-million dollar lawsuit filed by a contractor involved in construction of the South Subur ban area's sewerage system. Putnam has lived in the Klam ath Falls area most of his life. He was born in Long Beach in 1918 and attended high school at Keno. He established his logging contracting business in the early 1940s. Putnam was married 21 years ago. Ho and Mrs. Putnam and their two sons, Dean, 19, and Tommy, 7, live at 2742 Homedale Road. Putnam's business is one of the largest of its kind in Southern Oregon.

The Air Force is particularly in terested in that region, 600 to 1,- 000 miles above the earth, as the most likely orbital zone for a hos tile satellite. The 50-pound model was built for the Air Force Ballistic Missile Division, Inglewood, Calif., by Lockheed Aircraft Corp. under a hitherto unannounced contract for about $80,000. It is called Alpha ABC, for Ad vanced Biomedical Capsule, and was put on display at the annual meeting of the American Rocket Society. The capsule contains a contour couch, somewhat like that of the Mercury capsule, for the monkey passenger. Col. Ed Cole, director of the bio- astronautics office of BMD, said the capsule could be launched with equipment now available, and the recovery svstem success fully used for the ejection and re covery of capsules from Discover er satellites. The capsule would be launched into an orbit in the heart of the Van Allen radiation belt, the area in which scientists dare not send human beings for a protracted lay. CHRISTMAS TREES, stylized by girls of 55 Girl Scout troops in Klamath Area Council, were displayed to the public Saturday in the First Presbyterian Church, then distributed where they could best be appreciated all over the county and a few outside it. Ihess gins are Herter Orders Buying In U.S. WASHINGION (AP)-Secrclary of State Christian A. Herter has issued an order designed to force countries receiving U. S. aid to spend more of that money in the United States. The order carries out one of a number of moves directed by President Eisenhower last month to reduce the flow of gold and dollars from the United States to other countries. It does not force the countries to buy American goods but it for bids them to spend the money in most of the other Western in dustrialized countries. The order, issued Monday, put 18 countries and the British col ony of Hong Kong on the forbid den list for purchases with U. S. foreign aid money.
