It Price Ten Cents 50 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OUKt.ON, SIMMY, JANUARY 22, 1961 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 6590 is a reassuring document. There is nothing namby-pamby about it. It seems to come straight from the shoulder. f I f jF I n7 n 3 n a a n r n For example, he says: "We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution (which created our na tion) Let every na tion know, whether it wish us well, or ill, that we shall pay ANY price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend or oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and suc cess of LIBERTY." If we still have that kind of mor- communism will be met and de - feated. It is up to US to prove we have it. He soes on "To those old allies whose cul tural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we CANNOT do, Divided, there is little we CAN do for we dare not meet a pow erful challenge (if we are) at odds and split asunder." That sounds reassuringly like the spirit of Benjamin Franklin when at the solemn ceremonies attending the signing of our Dec laration of Independence he stood up and said to his associates in the draiting of that immortal doc ument: "We must all hang to gether or assuredly we shall all hang SEPARATELY." He says: "To those new states whom we now welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed merely to be re placed by a far more IRON tyran ny. We shall not always expect lo find them supporting our every view. But we shall always hope j to find them always supporting their own freedom and to re member that in the past those who foolishly sought to find pow er by riding on the tiger's back inevitably ENDED UP iNbiuti. That's a reference to the "smil Ing young lady of Niger who went for a ride with a tiger." Those familiar with the jingle will re call that "they came back from the ride with the lady in-i 'side and Uie smile on the face of the tiger." . There he's speaking to the neu trals and some of our weaker- kneed allies who seem to think thev can play along with- com munism and come out smelling like a rose. He is reminding them that it CAN'T BE DONE. Of disarmament, he says: "Let both sides formulate for the first time serious proposals for INSPECTION and CONTROL of arms." There he's speaking flatly and directly to Mr. Kroosh. He's say ing: "WE WON'T STAND FOR HIDING OUT ANY GUNS." , To our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere and to the world at large, he says: "Let them know that we shall join with them lo oppose aggres sion ANYWHERE IN THE AM ERICAS, and let EVERY OTH ER POWER know that this hem isphere intends to remain master in its own house." That's a declaration that THE MONROE DOCTRINE STILL LIVES. It is an inspiring message. Our new President got off to a good start. What of Ike?

Non-Communist World Hails Kennedy Speech LONDON (AP) - The non-Com- munist world today hailed Presi dent Kennedy's inaugural speech as a stirring message of hope and challenge. It gave special cheers to his bid for renewed East-West negotiations. Hopes that Kennedy can ease cold war tensions were also ex pressed by three top Communist leaders Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, East Germany's Wal- ter Ulbricht and Yugoslavia's'special friend, a feeling dating: President Tito. In other Red sec tors Kennedy was denounced or ignored. Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro greeted Kennedy's speech with an offer to make peace but on his own terms. He said thp United Stales must change its "mistaken and absurd" policy to ward his regime before any recon ciliation is possible.

He said this 850 acres is being reserved deliber ately on Uie possibility that Mc Nary damsite land may be de clared surplus. Appling said that the McNary, damsite area land is prime in dustrial development area and the state would like to get as much of it as it could. 'We have on many occasions urged federal officials to hasten the transfer of the lands in ques tion," Appling said. "We shall continue to do so." Barton also criticized the board for investing $10 million in gov ernment securities at 3 per cent interest instead of investing them in loans at 5V per cent interest. Barton, who is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, also suggested that the legislature should increase the percentage of land value on which loans can be made. The law now permits the land board to loan up to 50 per cent of the value of rura) land, nothing a.ings. "I certainly agree," Appling said, "that the Oregon laws which1 restrict the Land Board's lending authority are archaic. "However, the Land Board, as purely an administrative body, can merely attempt to operate within thoje legal restrictions un til the legislature sees fit to change Die law."

Eastern Florida Smudge Pots Out By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A howlina blizzard that gcred much of the Eastern Sea board moved out of the Northeast I early Saturday leaving a tragic death toll in its wake. Winter held its icy grip, how ever, as a severe cold wave plunged thermometers well below zero and spread freezing tempera tures deep into the South. Smudge pots burned during tne night around vegetable fields in southern Florida as truck farm ers braced for a predicted 32-de- gree low in that usually mild area. Northeast areas struggled to shake off the grip of a snow cover of up to 29 inches that disrupted travel, closed schools and busi nesses and postponed many events. The number of dcalhs resulting from storms reached 63, with most of the fatalities occurring in the East and Northeast. Harrisburg.

An embassy spokesman said tliey discussed Soviet-American problems." No further details were given about the subjects of the talks. It was presumed that Khrushchev : pressed for an early meeting with the new president in an effort to establish a warmer relationship sucn as lie lelt he had worked out with President Eisenhower at the time ot the Camp David meet ing. Khrushchev had with him Vas- sili Kuznctsnv, deputy foreign minister, and A. S. Dobrvnan. chief of the American section ot the foreign office. Each had interpreters, although. much of the conversation was in Russian directly between Khrush-1 chev and Thompson, who speaks relatively good Russian. Khrushchev did not waslc any lime gelling in touch Willi the new president. Ho and President Leoni Brezhnev sent Kennedy a telegram Friday expressing hope we can lemove existing suso cion and distrust and grow the seed ot Iriondslup and business like cooperation between our two peoples.

The meeting between Thomp son and the premier took place in the Kremlin. President Orders Hike In Food Aid To Needy WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi dent Kennedy, moving quickly to till a campaign promise, today or dered an increase in free food dis tribution to needy families in chronic unemployment areas. In his first executive order since taking office Friday, Ken nedy directed the new secretary of agriculture, Orville L. Free man, to expand the dislribulion program using funds already available. Pierre Salinger, Kennedy's press secretary, said it is inios sible at this time lo put a price tag on the supplemental program. Myer Fcldman, a Kennedy aide, told a news conference that Ihc government at present Is spend ing about $36 million a month for distribution of surplus foods to needy families in distressed areas. During the campaign Kennedy promised that if elected he would inislain,- ,.iu. ti,n .,.,. day wnne in session. I feci (hat many qualified pco- pie now can't afford to serve in Ihe Oregon Legislature. The people should not lose sight ol Ihc excellent tradition of good government which cxista in Ore- g0n. The state has been free of major scandal in important pro- gram, ukc highways, liquor reg ulation and management of state institulians. These are encourag - ing signs for Ac future of demo - cratic government, Republican Stams Choice Of Brother WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Saturday over whelmingly confirmed President Kennedy's 10 selec tions for his Cabinet. Only his choice of his brother Rob- S' Go''(1 A11- R"Co1 COntended RobCrt F" Kennedy lacked legal experience for the post and de- manded a standing vote on the nomination. He alone voted against it. All other Cabinet members were approved unani mously by voice vote. The President submitted I the nominations to the Sen ate Friday, immediately af ter his inauguration; Senate committees had held hear ings of them in advance. In addiiim to Kennedy, the new Cabinet consists of Secretary ol State Dean Rusk, Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon, Secre tary of Defense Robert S. Mc Namnra, Postmaster General J. Edward Day, Secretary of Inter ior Stewart L. Utlall, Secretary ol Agriculture Orville L. Freeman, Secretary of Commerce Luther H. Hodges, Secretary ot Labor Ar thur J. Goldberg and Secretary of Welfare Abraham A. Ribicoff. The Whita House arranged a special afternoon- ceremony for, the new Cabinet members to take their oaths of oflice. Senators of both parties joined in praising the Cabinet selections. But Allott described Robert Kennedy as a man who is not qualified "by a far degree. "Capable, ambitious and driv- iim as ho may be, he has not had sufficient background tn the law to qualify him for this position, Allott contended. He said Unit Kennedy has never engaged in private law practice nor tried, a case nor written a trial oriei. Ho said he was not opposed to Kennedy's appointment because he is the President's brother, but said their relationship "may come to vex them" and destroy some of the objectivity of a Cabinet member's relationship with the president But warm words of praise came from other senators. With the Kennedy nomination disposed of, the Senate quickly approved J. Edward Day, Los An geles insurance executive, as post master general and continued act speedily lo Increase the dis tribution and variety of surplus foods to areas of chronic unem ployment. A couple of weeks ago a Ken nedy-appointed study committee included such a step in its study 6f how to provide more assistance for distressed areas, The President's order calls for an expanded, program of food distribution, on the ba sis of both variety and quality. As under the present program the addilional supplies will be available to families that cannot afford to purchase adequate food. At present this program oper ates in about 1,100 counties and in 120 cities and towns, Salinger said. Currently the distribution in cludes flour, corn meal, rice, dry milk, eggs and lard. There was no Immediate an nouncement on food items which will be added to this list. Salinger said that under the program at present the average person receives food valued at about five cents a day. Under the Kennedy order, Salinger said, this cstimaico mat ihc present pro- F1,m provides about only 35 per cent of the nutrition necessary for a subsistence diet. The Presi dent's order, Salinger said, will increase the percentage, but there was no immediate indication as to what extent, The White House said that about four million persons now arc receiving surplus food under the distressed areas relief pro gram. The Kennedy order is ex pected to increase the number of ; beneficiaries to some extent as 1 well as the variety and quality of the lood. down Uie list of Cabinet appointments. Sen. Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., the majority leader, said that each of the 10 Cabinet nomina tions would lie taken up separate ly, along with that of Adlai E. Stevenson. Kennedy's appointee as U. S. representative to Uie United Nations with the rank of ambassador. Then this week the Senate will turn to Kennedy's domestic legis lative program, taking up a bill , to provide federal aid for areas plagued by chronic unemployment. Senate committees already have conducted hearings on the vari ous nominations and have recom mended their confirmation. Kennedy dazzled Republicans and Democrats alike with a 14 minute inaugural address Friday in which he told the world crisply that America will "pay any price. bear any burden, meet any hard ship, support any friend or oppose any foe in order to assure the survival and success of liberty." Kennedy did not deal in any specifics or recommend congres sional action. That will come later presumably in a series of individv . ual messages:.,' i n Democrats Pick Lawyer As Leader WASHINGTON (AP) - John M. Bailey, Hartford. Conn., lawyer and state party leader, Saturday was unanimously elected chair man of the Democratic National Committee. v Bailey succeeds Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington State who resigned after sue months in the job to devote his whole time to his legislative duties. Bailey was one of the early backers for the election of John F. Kennedy as president. i His name was placed in nomi nation at the national committee's meeting by John M. Golden, na tional committeeman for Con necticut. Golden described the new chairman as '"my own can didate as well as that of the President." He called Bailey a 'political scientist." Gov. David L. Lawrence of Pennsylvania seconded Bailey's nomination and said he had the experience needed for the job. Like President Kennedy and similar to all Democratic chair men during the last 32 years ex cept Jackson, the new chairman is a Roman Catholic. Pilot Signals His Own Death MONTGOMERY, Ala. (API-A pilot returning from a cross-country flight Friday buzzed his house to signal his family he was home safely, but never made it. Seconds later 1st Lt. Robert C. Ussery, 32-ycar-old flier in the Alabama National Guuard, died in a fiery crash while his horrified wife watched only 300 yards away. His attractive 30-year-old wife Bonnie waved from their yard as the plane flew low over the house at the nearby Pike Road comma nity. then suddenly plunged to earth. Ussery was killed Instantly when the small single-engine LISA he had piloted back from Dayton, Ohio, spun into a field just out of view of his wife. None of their four children saw the crash. Neighborhood friends said R was a family custom for Ussery to fly over his home to signal hit safe return when tw bad beta away.
