DIV- o o o Second amo f World S 7 n mm ens,s la The- Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS From London comes word that Queen Elizabeth is about to conler a peerage on Antony Armstrong-I Jones, whose wife. Princess Mar garet, is fourth in order of suc cession to the British throne. The story goes that, since he was born a commoner, becoming a peer of the realm by appointment goes against his conscience which has. been telling him that if one is born a commoner one should remain a commoner. But he is expected to become a father some time late this month! or early in November, and the conscience that tells him one who Is born a commoner should remain a commoner is reported to be telling him also that his child, who will be fifth in order of suc cession to the British throne, fhould be of noble rank. So The dispatches inform us It seems probable he will ac cent a title if and when Queen R.lzabeth, his sister-in-law. de cides to confer one upon him. It sounds a little silly, doesn't it But let's go back into the dim; beginnings of the institution oi government. First there was the tribal chief, whose right to rule the roost derived from his strong right arm and his shrewdly. scheming brain. When he DIED there was pret ty sure to be WAR war that con tinued until some other strong right arm and scheming brain established the right ot ruiersnip. The people of that remote day liked war no better than we like war now. So. in time, the idea arose that there ought to be some AUTOMATIC way whereby the leadership of the tribe would pass PEACEFULLY from one set of hands to another set of hands. Out of that desire for the peaceful transfer of authority arose the idea of HEREDITARY succession. Why not just decree that the eld est son of the deceased ruler should become the new ruler? It was thus that the institution of royalty was born. The people LIKED it. It avoided wars of suc cession, in which the people suf fered cruelly. So much for the system of he reditary royalty. How about the system of a he reditary aristocracy? How did that come about? It came about quite simply. The king had to have helpers upon! whom he could depend. If he wasj to be able to depend absolutely! upon these helpers, they must be INDEBTED to him. So he made. NOBLES of his right-hand men. He gave them great estates. But, In insure their loyalty, he re tained the right to take their es tales away from them and give them to somebody else if they failed in their loyalty. That gave him the whip hand. Britain is a perfect example of the system of hereditary royalty supported by a hereditary aristoc racy. William the Conqueror crossed the Channel from Nor mandy and took England away from Harold the Saxon. He par celed the English land out among his Norman right-hand men keep ing, of course, a goodly part of it for himself. It was thus that English titles of nobility orginat ed. The ancestors of Antony Arm strong-Jones weren't among the fortunate ones who received their patrimony from William the Con queror and thus became NOBLES So he and his ancestors have op posed the system. But Eventually as you will note from the dispatches the system is about to GET him.

(AP) The United States today was re ported to have agreed in the main to a Soviet plan for picking a temporary U. N. secretary-gen eral. Support was building up for U Thant of Burma to take over the vital executive position. The U. S. stand increased hopes that a way will be found to break the U.S. -Soviet deadlock with its threat of paralysis for the ad ministrative arm of the world or-j ganization. Informed., diplomats said the United States agreed with reser vations to Soviet insistence that the Security Council nominate the successor to the ' late Dag Hammarskjold. The reservations are that the United States and the Soviet Un ion first agree on the candidate and on his powers, informants said. The U.S. stand was conveyed to the Soviet delegation by other envoys. There was no immediate Soviet reaction. To avert the Soviet veto of a secretary-general candidate in the 11-nation Security Council, tne United States had proposed that the veto-free, 100-nation General Assembly name a temporary sue cessor. The switch in American tactics came alter tne Soviets in turn had softened their position.

One refugee, crying "freedom." plunged to his death when he jumped five stories and missed a West Berlin firemen's net. The other refugee was captured by the East Germans and taken away. As a result of the two incidenis. Mayor Willy Brandt disclosed he was discussing with the Western powers the reinforcement of West Berlin police to make the borders secure. The shooting of the East German policeman was expected to raise a diplomatic storm. West Berlin police gave this ac count of today's incident: Vopos, Communist police, threw rocks across the wall into West man secretarial Communist, Western and neutral. Each would have a veto. This week they announced that provided he was nominated by he Security Council, they would agree to selection of a temporary secretary-general with three ad visers, none with a veto. Delegates said the trend toward U Thant reflected determination of the powerful 47-nation Asian African bloc to see that one of its group gets the post of pres tige and authority. Sentiment now generally favors U Thant over the assembly pres ident, Mongi Slim of Tunisia, and Frederick H. Boland of Ireland, who presided over the assembly last year, informed sources said The change in the U.S. position removed one hurdle in the path of getting a successor named. But there still remains the Soviet de mand that whoever is named shall have three deputies from Communist, West and neutral na tions with whom he must consult Courthouse Six of seven bidders, including a Klamam fans construction company, were under me arcni- tects' estimate when bids were opened Wednesday afternoon on the Klamath County Courthouse addition project. The architects, Murdo Morrison and John Howard, and Bob Star- buck, construction engineer, had estimated the project would cost $430,000. James S. Hickey Inc. of Portland submitted the apparent low basic bid, $414,795. If an al Berlin. One rock smashed the windshield of a truck on the road way. A police patrol car was called, and an officer went up to the wall and called out to the Vopos to stop throwing rocks. A Vopo officer approached the wall, aimed his submachine gun and shouted. "Go back." Then the Vopo fired at the police officer. The bullet missed, and police on both sides drew back. The two shootings were the most serious since the Commu nists hegan erecting their wall of barbed wire and concrete blocks across the heart of Berlin Aug. 13. Bernauerstrasse is about the touchiest point along the 25-mile wall. The houses there are in Communist territory, the side walks in the West. About 200 West Berliners wit nessed the shooting at Bernauer strasse Wednesday night. Witnesses gave this account: As darkness fell two men appeared on the flat roof of a building in Bernauerstrasse the border street where many East Germans have escapee! by leaping from buildings into West Berlin. Communist police spotted the two and ran after them, firing pistols and submachine guns. Trapped, the two fugitives ran back and forth shouting "help, help." West Berlin police in the street below turned powerful searchlights on the roof in an at tempt to blind the Communist police. A West Berlin police spokesman said shots fired by the East Ger mans struck a sidewalk near where they and border firemen were standing, we spokesman said the West Berlin police con sidered this an attack on them and that they were entitled to shoot back. Five West Berlin policemen, he said, fired 24 shots and one of the bullets hit a Communist po liceman, who was dragged away by his comrades. The shooting incident threat ened to heat up the battle of the barricades, waged largely on a propaganda level since the Com munists cut Berlin in two with a concrete wall Aug. 13.

Nixon Fracas Takes Twist LOS ANGELES (API - The question of who tried to keep whom out of the 1962 California Republican governorship race took a new turn today. Robert Finch, former campaign manager for Richard M. Nixon. said Goodwin J. Knight tried to deal Nixon out of the contest. This new claim is that Knight1 proposed, if elected governor, to swing the 1964 California Repub lican presidential delegation to Nixon if the former vice president would stay but of the gubernatori al race. Knight, on the other hand, de clared Wednesday that an emis sary of Nixon tried to lure him, Knight, out of the governorship race by promising, in return, vir tually any state political appoin tive office he wanted. Finch said that Knight offered the delegation deal last August but that Nixon told him it was too early to talk about the 1964 presidential race. Knight denied to newsmen that he had proposed the deal lor Nix on to stay out. Moore, $414,950, $413,450. Aug. 15; Teeples and Thatcher, Portland, $415,975, $415,250, July 15; Vik Construction Co..

Aug. 31. There Is less than one-lenlh of one per cent difference between the two lowest alternate bids and only one-half of one per cent dif ference between the lowest basic bids. Hickey telephoned after bids were opened and said his alter nate bid should have been lower, not higher, than his basic hid. But he was informed that his bid could not be changed. County court members and the architects said they were "very pleased" with the bids. Slarbuck said the addition would be eco nomical for the county. "Buildings of this type have ranged from $20 to $23 per square foot," Slarbuck told the court, "and it appears that the addition can be built for less than $16 a square foot." The addition, to be constructed in the parking lot be hind the courthouse between the Veterans Memorial Building and the county jail, will provide 25.312 feet of floor space. Primary needs that the addition will satis fy, are those' of another circuit courtroom and a fireproof valut for the county clerk's office. Bi'i will be taken into consider ation by the court and the archi tects and a decision will be an nounced within 10 days. Construc tion is exprved to slart soon aft er the bid u let.

He told the approximately 180 people in attendance that in the next 15 years, by 1976, at least half of the items in production have not, as yet, been even in vented. General Electric, he said. says that at least half of their products to be in production by 1965 are not yet off the drawing boards. Bird cited figures indicating the United States will continue in a terrific population explosion, yet earning power for all age groups will continue to rise. "By 1970, we will have 15 per cent more men al work than we have to day," he said, "and by 1970 we will have 35 per cent more women at work than wc have today."

Spy Witness Tells Of WASHINGTON (API-A young Polish woman testified today a former American diplomat told her he was being blackmailed by Polish secret police who wanted him to hand over "the cipher and some kind of plan he was getting from Washington." The witness, Ursula Dischcr, 22, said the blackmail attempt took place after Polish police caught her undressed in bed with Irvin C. Scarbeck. Scarbeck at that time was second secretary in the American Embassy in Warsaw. Scarbeck, 41 and married, is on trial in federal court on a charge of turning over four secret diplo matic papers to the ttilish Red agents.

There was no immediate indica tion of direct government inter vention in the negotiations. Jamos MacPherson. regional di rector, and David Tanzman, of the Federal Mediation and Con ciliation Service, arrived at the bargaining scene. Their presence was considered an indication of the government's concern over the strike and its possible effect on the nation's economy.

The Winema fire was located in the Scott Creek area. 13 miles north of Fort Klamath and about four-miles from Crater Lalrei Par. Five lrefiehtine aircraft carrying water and borate were on the blaze which smoke chasers said probably started from a hunt er s cigarette. Firefighters battled the flames from about 3:45 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday with 30 to 40 U.S. For est Service men. Besides' two lo cal PBY aircraft, three borate carriers from Medford flew over the mountains to help fight the fire here. Liston Aircraft, for the second ime, utilized Upper Klamath Lake to fight a forest fire. Lis ten's PBY, using a technique de veloped In Canada, scoops up wa ter on tne lake, then dumps It on a fire, all while In motion. The scooping operation Is completed while the plane is "on the step," or just barely out of the water. Water is dropped from 2,000- gallon belly tanks in the aircraft.

The nature of the cooperation was not immediately brought out Miss Dischcr said she had trouble with her address regis tration, and was told she could be expelled from Warsaw. She denied she was threatened. but U.S. attorney Paul Vincent said: "Perhaps It would refresh your memory if I mentioned the word black market. a Miss Discher said yes. the po lice and members of the Polish security fwee threatened to ex pose her dialings in foreign cur rency.
