By FRANK JENKINS In Moscow todav. the Soviet Union is celebrating the 44th an niversary of the Bolshevik Revo lution. The feature of the cele bration was a five-hour parade of me last word in weapons of war. lass, communism s heel-dog news paper, describes it thus: "Huge cars, with rocket instal lationsa new, formidable weap on of the Soviet army drove slowly past the guest stands. . . New tanks were demonstrated Capable of surmounting any ob stacle on land and in water, they are equipped with devices which make it possible to discover the enemy in daytime and in the night. In rain and fog and snow." And so on. Reams and reams and reams of it. All of it designed to picture the irresistible POWER of the Soviet Union and the com munist government that rules the Soviet union and seeks the ruler ship of the world. This November Revolution that Is being celebrated in Moscow today what does it commcmor f ate? Well, 1917 brought to an end the Russian Empire that was founded by Ivan the Terrible back in the middle 1500 s. Even in the Middle Ages, other European countries had certain checks and balances on the power of their rulers. The Church was an inde- pendent power that sometimes challenged and humbled the most powerful rulers. The nobility, the clergy, the free cities possessed certain rights that gave them some security against willful roy al power. These checks and balances didn't operate in Russia. The czar could KILL the highest no ble, if he pleased. The highest noble could kill his underling, his fief. Any member of the privileged classes could kill any SERF at will. And so on. That was the old Russia. Basic ally, it is the Russia of today. The communist government of Russia can kill any Russian and there is no power in Russia to say it nay. No supreme court. No INDEPENDENT newspaper. The power of the communis! government of Russia is as su preme and unfettered as was the power of Ivan the Terrible. . How did it all start? Let's brief it. In World War I, Russia came In on the side of the Allies. Things went from bad to worse, for her. armies, which were badly fed and poorly armed. The troops refusedl to fight. The Empire fell. The! czar abdicated. The Kerensky government took over. It did away with all restric tions on freedom of speech and the press, on the right of the peo ple to assemble and petition for what they wanted. It planned a freely elected Constituent Assem bly, to be the parliament of Rus sia. All this was In March of 1917. It lasted until November of 1917 when the Bolshevik party un- der Inin SEIZED POWER BY FORCE. That ended the hope of a democratic Russia, similar to the Western democracies. Kerensky was a modern moderate. He was overthrown, and hound ed out of Russia. He was even tually murdered. Nikolai Lenin is the patron saint of communism. If correctly labeled, he should be described as the man who killed the Russian people's hope of FREE GOVERNMENT, similar to that enjoyed by Russia's neigh bors to the West and TOOK RUS SIA BACK TO THE THE DES- i POTIC SYSTEM ESTABLISHED f BY IVAN THE TERRIBLE. That In brief- Is what happened in November of 1917. It is what is being cele brated in Moscow today. It was in those days in Novem ber of 1917 that the hopes of the Russian people for a free govern ment similar to the governments of Russia's neighbor' to the west DIED. It was then hat the mon ster of communism rose. It was then that the world strug gle between freedom and slavery that now threatens the world with possible destruction began. I think we might call those No vember days of 1917 the blackest davs in modern history.

In the contest for mayor of Ecuador VP Grab Sparks Rebellion QUITO, Ecuador (AP) A regi ment of engineers rebelled against the Ecuadorean government today a short time after leftist Vice President Carlos Arosemena was arrested on orders of President Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra. Arosemena, who appears to have backing of a majority in Congress, was arrested around midnight. Aides with him, also were taken into custody and im prisoned in the federal penitentiary. They offered no resistance when approached on the street by Gon zalo Jacomc, director of national security, and informed they were under arrest. The Chimoorazo regiment of engineers rose as soon as news of the arrest spread. The soldiers marched out of their barracks in the southern part of the city with weapons ready. ' Three air force planes took off from a base outside the city and flew over the city. It was not lear where they stood in me Reds To Seal Berlin Point political fight between the two leaders, but they appeared to be making a reconnaissance. Gen. Angel Zurita, the armed forces commander, issued a com-1 munique promising to maintain law and order and backing Vel asco Ibarra in the president's severest test since he assumed of fice 14 months ago. Tanks rolled up to the congres sional palace and virtually, sealed in legislators at odds with the president over economic policies that have led to growing unrest throughout this nation of four million on the northwestern tip of Soutn America. Army leaders cut communica tions with the building and al lowed no one to enter or leave. Reports filtered out that Congress had appointed a committee to seek a solution to the political crisis. Previously the bulk of the legislators had sided with Arose mena, who is also president of the Senate. The president charged in radio address that Arosemena was trying to become a dictator and said he no longer recognized him as vice president. The president claimed he had the armed forces' full support and said he would use all his powers to smash the demonstrations against his government. New York, Wagner, who broke with Tammany Hall, has Presi dent Kennedy's endorsement. The party's state chairman, Michael H. Prendergast, withheld his sup port, giving it instead to City Comptroller Lawrence E. Gcrosa, a Democrat running as an inde pendent. Wagner is heavily favored. The weather outlook is cloudy with chance of showers. Voting hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. There arc 3,306.913 eligible voters. More than two million are expected to vote. In New Jersey, most political observers favor Mitchell, who was secretary of labor in Dw ight D. Eisenhower's Cabinet. The Democrats see their man Hughes, a lormer Superior Court judge, making a photo finish. The office was open to them by New Jersey law that prohibits governor from serving three consecutive terms. Gov. Robert B. Meyner, a Democrat, has held office for eight years. The New Jersey polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The weather forecast: cloudy and cool with chance of showers. A vote of 2.25 million, out of a registra tion of 3.023,384, is expected. The New Jersey campaign- fought long and hard from one end of the state to the other ended on a low key, due to the death of Hughes' 83-year-old fa ther on Sunday. Both candidates canceled scheduled eleventh-hour appearances.

The Navy said the ship hit by major blaze in drydock that killed 50 men last December suffered only minor damage in Monday's fire. The blaze broke out when fuel oil apparently was accidentally sprayed onto a hot steam line. The Constellation, newest and largest of the Navy's carriers, was due to arrive in New York the UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The United States worked be hind the scenes at the United Na tions today, seeking support for move to head off a General Assembly vote on Red China's bid for a U. N. seat. With the assembly session at the halfway mark, the world body must act soon on the controver sial Chinese seating issue placed on its agenda for the first time since the Communists took over the mainland in 1949. Doubtful it had the votes to put across its usual proposal to shelve debate on China for an other year, the United States voted this fall for a full airing of the seating question. Now U. S. diplomats are sounding out dele gates, seeking support for anoth er type of postponement proposal creation of a special committee to study the China question and report back to the assembly next year. The United Slates has made it plain it still opposes any move to oust the Nationalist Chinese and seat the Reds in their place It has served notice it will fight the Soviet proposal that the as sembly recognize the Peiping government as the lawful holder of the Chinese seat. Western diplomats expressed confidence the United States has the voting support to dump the Chinese question into the lap of committee even though the Communists and many Asian and African delegates will fight it as another attempt to shelve the issue. The subject of rezoning of Ore gon Avenue and Biehn Street to the north entrance occupied much of the attention of the city council at its regular Monday session in city hall. A number of persons were pres ent to ask for modifications in the zoning of the area. As a result of recent protests that businesses were unable to lo cate along Oregon Avenue because the zoning was too restricted, the council and the planning commis sion revamped -the jarea- -and are proposing C-2 and C-3 zones. Fred Taylor. 2125 Bielin, opened the public hearing on the pro posed zoning change by request ing that the C-3 zone wnicn ex tends from Academy Street up to the intersection with Biehn be ex lended up the east side of Biehn from Lytton to Lowell and extend ing eastward to the alley. The council approved this move after some discussion, but later William Kenney. 2320 Biehn. re quested that several lots which he owned at the upper end of Biehn I Street be retained in the current C-2 zone. At present Biehn Street is a C-2 zone from the north entrance to its intersection with Oregon Avenue. However, it had been proposed to make a big part of it a residential R-5 zone. The council rescinded the ear-l lier action on the request of Tay lor, and moved that the C-2 zone for both sides of Biehn Street be lpff a Ik and lhaL the DroDoscd R-6 area be eliminated in the hall I block on each side ol Biehn Street.

Most of them were from west ern Oregon, and he said he nan not asked them in advance how they felt reapportionment should be made. Boivin said he does not plan to try to direct them, but that "there are lew wno nave siuurcu mu. who believe that representation should be based on population alone." The reapportionment plan worked out recently by Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. and approved by the state Supreme Court would cost eastern Oregon legislative seats.

WASHINGTON (AP) - India Prime Minister Nehru was re ported today to have strongly ad vised President Kennedy against sending U.S. combat troops to South Vict Nam. Three weeks ago, when Ken nedy dispatched his military ad viser, Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, to the Communist-besieged nation, there was wide speculation that Kennedy might send a U.S. force to South Vict Nam. When Taylor returned Friday he had no public word of support for sending troops. White House press secretary Pierre Salinger said Kennedy and Nehru discussed both Laos and South Viet Nam in their first meeting Monday. Nehru, a leader of the non- aligned nations, scheduled a mid morning White House meeting with Kennedy today to discuss subjects ranging from Southeast! Asia to Berlin to nuclear testing Their meeting at Newport, R.I., Monday was the first chance for the two men to take each other's measure. The atmosphere was de scribed as friendly.

Eating through Topanga Can yon's explosively dry brush dur-! ing the night, a companion fire that also broke out Monday moved to within slightly more than a mile of the Bel-Air fire. The Topanga fire had raged through 4,000 acres, the Bel-Air through 3,200. Only Rustic Can yon, which has a few expensive homes, separated the two. Officials said the fires probably will join, forming a 10-mile flam ing front.

Flames had ravaged their native haunts. Magnates, movie stars, school hildrcn and housewives fled from homes and classrooms to escape the blaze Monday. Fire officials called it the most damaging in Southern California history. Nixon, whose rented home es caped the flames, said: "I have seen trouble all over the world. but nothing like this."

Council To Consider Mausoleum Ballot BONN, Germany (API The West German Bundestag (parlia ment) today elected Konrad Aden aucr to serve a fourth term as chancellor. Under constitutional procedure, Adenauer was nominated by Pres ident Heinrich Luebke at the re quest of the Christian Democratic party and the tree Democrats. Adenauer, who look over this nation's leadership 12 years ago1 and is the only chancellor West Germany has known, has already said he will not serve a full four year term. Now 85. he assured his party he would resign in suffi cient time to give his successor, not named, a chance to scclimatc himself before the 1965 elections. The two parties last week agreed on a coalition government. The Christian Democrats had lo seek a coalition after losing their absolute parliamentary majority in the Sept. 17 election. Mayor Robert Vcatch indicated at Monday night's council meet ing that the results of a ballot being carried by the Herald and News will be carefully considered by the council in future action on the subject of a mausoleum. The question has been proposed that the money in a fund to con struct a mausoleum, amount ing to about $76,632, be used in stead by the council to construct and equip a fire sub-station. The funds were initially collect ed from a tax levy between the years of 1944 and 1952. These funds cannot be used for any purpose other than to build a mausoleum unless a change Is approved by a vote of the people Purpose of the straw ballot be ing carried with this story is to . guide the council's thinking on whether to proceed with the build ing of the mausoleum at the Klam ath Memorial Park cemetery or to propose a measure for the 1962 ballot converting use of the funds for the fire sub-station or street improvements. Readers residing in the limits of tlie city of Klamah Falls are asked to cup the attached ballot, fill It out, and return it as soon as possible. Intentions are to pre sent the results of this balloting to the city council at its meeting on Monday, Nov. 13.
