Day's lews U.0F 0R2.LIBSA3Y By FRANK JENKINS ' What of the news today? It isn't very exciting. For which let us be thankful. In these mod ern days, the EXCITING news gives us the shivers. Secretary of Labor Goldberg, re porting on the job situation, tells Price Ten Cents 16 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, WKONESOAY, MARCH g, 1961 Telephone TU 4-811 No. 6629 us this morning that in Februaiy unemployment rose 320,000 over January to a total of 5,705,000- the highest idle total since the summer of 1941, just before World War II, at the tag end of the great depression. But, he adds EMPLOYMENT in Februa.y was UP 200,000 from January to a total of 64,655.000. which is the highest February total in our his tory. Which is to say: ' In February of this year more Americans were OUT OF WORK days and 22 hours totally sub' merged. U. S.

What's happening to us? There could be two answers: 1. Our population is rising fast er than our capacity to provide jobs. 2. Prices are rising faster than our capacity to pay. The EASY solution is to pass some more laws. But passing more laws doesn't seem to pro vide a permanent solution. More problems: Starlings are reported to be in creasing in this country at a dis turbingly rapid rate possibly even doubling in number every year. They are a nuisance. They dirty up city buildings. They make raucous noises. They have been blamed for air crashes. They seem to be fond of airports and when planes encounter flocks ot them the birds are sucked into the jet engines, causing powe1 failure. They do considerable crop dam age, but on the other hand they eat a lot of bugs. So far, the problem is concentrated chiefly in the cities. Efforts to get rid of them have been confined larg' ly to frightening them away. But scaring them away from one place doesn t seem to result in any permanent relief. They just go somewhere else, ship, the tender Proteus.

He has just intro duced a bill to appropriate $400, 000 to DO AWAY WITH STAR LINGS. That is to say: PASS A LAW. That ought to do the trick. Question: When problems face us, EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP "I feel certain the X15 will achieve its design mis sion." That was Air Force Maj. Bob, White's casual way of predicting the record-setting rocket ship eventually will fly 50 to 100 miles high at speeds up to 4,000 miles per hour. His fringe-of-space prediction came after the handsome, dark haired pilot's test flight of the X15's powerful new engine Tuesday. The engine, open only two- thirds of full throttle, hurtled White across the desert sky at 2,050 miles an hour a record for manned flight. Officials said in strument checks may revise the figure upward to 2.800 m.p.h. Another record was set when air triction . nealea tne plane s stainless steel skin to an estimat ed 700 degrees, warmest yet for a man-carrying craft.

Four of the six young Britons who tried to incite an anti-nu clear demonslration when the Proteus arrived last week made another effort against the Pat rick Henry. Laurence Otter, 30, of London, came out in a canoe and three others in a rowboat. Several doz en British naval and police launches fended them off, and the demonstrators never got close enough to the submarine for any Kind ot incident. The docking was watched ap provingly by a few citizens of Dunoon, the Holy Loch town that has generally rejected the anti nuclear demonstrators and ac- ceptcd the base as a desirable boon to business.

Advertising Ban Scored SALEM (AP) A bill that would bar advertising by den- iisis arew opposition trom a news paper publisher, union officials and some dentists Tuesday, A spokesman for the Oregon Dental Association supported it. Former . Gov. Charles A. Sprague, publisher of the Oregon Statesman in Salem, said the bill is an attempt to get indirectly what proponents have not been able to get directly. They should not get at the back door what they wouldn't get at the front door," he told the Senate Health and Welfare Committee. The proposed law would substi tute the ethical codes of the Amer ican Dental Association and the Oregon Dental School in place of specific regulations against mal practice and various types of ad vertising. Dr. Paul Kunkel Jr. of the den tal association said various group dental insurance plans not oper ated by dentists were gaining public acceptance and should be limited time in which to try to conclude an agreement with the Soviet Union barring test explo- sions of nuclear weapons. The President obviously will be under very heavy pressure to re sume testing of new U. S. atomic weapons later this year unless the Soviets make substantial con cessions in their proposals for a' test ban treaty. Some further expressions of the administration attitude toward a new round of negotiations, start ing at Geneva in two weeks, may come from Kennedy today at his wcewy news comcrencc. The President and his top dis armament advisers conferred Tuesday at a luncheon meeting with a dozen senators and House members who are active in the disarmament field. Disarmament adviser John J. McCloy and Sec retary of State Dean Rusk were among those who participated in the conference. Afterward, Sen. Clinton P. An-i derson, D-N. M a member of the Senate - House Atomic Energy Committee, said a majority of Soviet negotiations at Geneva on! The Soviets also, like the Brit- a permanent agreement enforced ish, have had a moratorium pol by an international inspection sys tern to guard against sneak tests. Members of the committee are reported to have emphasized to the President and other officials that they feel the United States is taking grave risks by not test ing weapons in the absence of an inspection system. icy since the Geneva negotiations got under way. But many con gressional leaders as well as of ficials in the Defense Department and Atomic Energy Commission fear that the Soviets may have been testing some devices in spite of their public pronouncements to; the contrary.

Rep. Carrol Howe called atten tion to the recent bill, House Bill 1597. This measure would amend the previous law to permit water ski ing on Crescent Lake. Under the old law, no person could operate a boat with an outboard or in board motor at a speed in excess1 of 10 miles per hour during those hours of the day and on those days of the year that it is lawful to fish on a number of lakes in cluding Crescent Lake. The 10 miles per hour speed ruled out water skiing, but the HAVANA (UPD-Prime Minis ter Fidel Castro's firing squads today executed five Cubans con victed of "counter-revolutionary" activities against his government. The executions, earned out at dawn, raised to 19 the total num ber of anti-Castro Cubans put to death since the beginning of this year. They came as the Castro regime faced mounting attacks by terror ists in various parts of the island. Four men were shot in Havana by firing squads at La Cabana Fortress Prison. Another was ex ecuted at the same time in Pinar Del Rio. The first two to die this morning were Jose Rodriguez Linares and Apolinar Zayas Damas, found guilty of setting a city bus afire last month while masquerading Castroite militiamen. r r, if r-, tj -j . . ivtiaiuil. v.aiuic anu i hum t-oih-i o- tion: J D.

Congo Command bargaining position worsened to day, at least temporarily, with an announcement that 800 Moroccan soldiers previously scheduled for transfer to Leopoldville would be flown home instead. The United Nations had an nounced Tuesday that the Moroc cans were already being flown in from Katanga Province, and ob servers saw them as a strengthen ed for the U.N. demand to return lo Matadi. But today a U.N. spokesman said there had been a change of, orders and the Moroccans would be flown to Morocco. The spokesman refused to com ment on reports that the Moroc cans had refused to board planes to bring them to Leopoldville. Six hundred Tunisian soldiers; did arrive in Leopoldville today on schedule to reinforce the local U.N. garrison. The first of 3,000 Indian soldiers are due next week. But 400 Sudanese troops who bore the brunt of Congolese army at tacks in the ports of Matadi and Banana last week are being called home. The Congolese government to- day presented a five-point ultima-; turn lo Rajeshwar Dayal, Indian head of the U.N. Congo operation, and said it must be fulfilled be fore U.N. forces can return to Matadi, the chief supply port from which the U.N. Sudanese garri son was expelled Suunduy. The United Nations was consid ered certain to reject the Congo lese demands, which were: 1. Dayal must be recalled and replaced by an "impartial" U.N. official. The Leopoldville govern ment charges Dayal is opposed to it. . 2, The Congolese must control Ihe flights of all U.N. aircraft in the Congo and all river traffic, 3. The United Nations must, hand over all strategic bases to the Congolese. 4. The United Nations must stage no more armed parades in Leopoldville. 5. Dayal must officially rctractl his "lying statements" that the Congolese fired first at Matadi and Banana. An earlier Congolese demand for control of the strategic bases and air traffic in exchange for return of U.N. soldiers to Matadi had been termed "obviously un acceptable" by U.N. sources. The Congolese demands werel put to Dayal and Irish Gen. Sean McKeown, the U.N. military chief. by acting Premier Albert Delvaux and Jacques Massa, a member of his Cabinet. As the negotiations continued, the Congolese talked with increas ing belligerence as a result of their victory over Uie Sudanese garrison that withdrew from Ma tadi. Delvaux told newsmen "for Uie moment we have decided that U.N. soldiers will not go back" to Matadi, which is 150 miles southwest of Leopoldville. Delegates Ask Shelving Of Cold Var Differences Five Cubans Shot Down UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP) U. N. delegates sought in pri vate talks today to find out how far the United States and the So vict Union are willing to go in shelving cold war issues on Uie General Assembly docket. The first concrete sign of what each side will agree to is expect ed Thursday or Friday when the 21-nation Steering Committee de cides what items to discard dur ing the resumed session. Whatever is scrapped, the as sembly faces a new wrangle over the Congo crisis and Soviet de mands for full dress debate on disarmament. Nor was there any indication the Soviets intend to drop their proposal to set up a three-man executive to replace Secretary- General Dag Hammarskjold. Before uie assembly reopened Tuesday, both the Soviet Union and Uie United States called on the 99-nalion assembly to avoid cold war Issues. .U. S. Ambassador Adlal E. Ste venson suggested that all items be dropped except those essential to the conduct of U. N. business, He specified financing of the Con go operation, elections to the Eco nomic and Social Council and. some Issues in the Trusteeship Council. He said also that fur ther discussion of Uie Congo; might be necessary, "ff the majority of Uie mem bcrs agree," Stevenson said, "we will support such a move. If they; do not, we are prepared to dis cuss all items on the agenda." But Stevenson said flatly the United Slates "cannot make a trade or deal to delete some items in exchange for others." This referred to a Soviet proposal that the United States junk its complaints against Communist; actions in Tibet and Hungary in exchange for Soviet abandonment of its charges against U. S. re connaissance flights. An Iron Curtain delegate said the United States had approached the Soviet Union on the possibility of sidetracking any assembly dis- cussion of disarmament until the next assembly, beginning six months hence, and using the in terim for private negotiations. This delegate added, however, that the Soviets are determined to hold debate during the current; session on Soviet Premier Khru shchev's proposal for total disarmament. The assembly reopened Tues day with an appeal by Ghanal President Kwame Nkrumah for the United Nations to restore or der in Uie Congo and keep it out of the cold war by stationing a mostly African U. N. command there. In a 12,000-word speech, Nkru mah also called for a new Congo Parliament to be elected even tually under U. N. auspices. "We must not seek compro mises between East and West in this Congo crisis," Nkrumah as serted. "What is at stake is Afri can unity, peace and security and not the ambitions or interests or rights or legalities of the great powers." Liz Winning Life Struggle LONDON (UPt) - Elizabeth Taylor's doctor said today the movie star maintained her im provement through the night in her battle agaiast double pneu monia. Dr. Carl Heinz Goldman said Miss Taylor is "still on the dan ger list but only just." The doctor visited Uie clinic for only 10 minutes this morning In sharp contrast to the much longer visits earlier Uiis week. Doctors administered a recuper ative drug specially flown from the United States to Miss Taylor early today the best indication yet that the actress is winning her fight for life. Goldman said Miss Taylor spent a quiet night and was "resting quietly" this morning. Doctors, family and friends were heartened by Miss Taylor's progress during the past 24 hours. Goldman said she will be "out of Uie woods" by tonight if her re covery continued at Uie present rate. A case of drugs called sta phylococcal bacteria phage lysate was brought here early Tuesday by jet plane from New York by Milton Blackstonc, manager of Miss Taylor's husband, Eddie Fisher. When It reached the London Clinic where the beautiful 20-ycar- old actress lay critically ill, phy sicians decided it would be used only when she began to show defi nite improvement, to accelerate any advance toward recovery. fe.' e-- "-j' r .-.- k v-. . v - ;j L I. 1 THE OREGON WATER CORPORATION was testing on of its wells Tuesday when photographer Don Kettler happened by.
