With the approach of spring, an increase
in activity of transient sales groups is ex
. pected in this area, and with it comes a warn-
ing to area residents to practice caution and
.. exercise good judgment when making pur
chases from groups located outside the area.
Every year, a number of complaints are
answered by county and city officials when
citizens are "pestered" by high pressure sales
representatives, and by some Gyp Artists.
While no one wishes to exercise undue
control over another's method of earning a
living, not all transient sales groups are re
liable. Once in a while people find that they
have purchased a "pig-in-a-poke," and then
turn to authorities for assistance.
The best advice that can be offered is
, that these citizens practice purchasing in
their home communities or from established
and reliable firms which provide connections
in their home communities.
There have been several instances In
which Klamath Basin residents have been
taken in by home repair con men. Some have
suffered substantial financial loss; others have

MM Waiting Out DeGaule

NEW YORK (NEA) It was

Will history say that her coun

dent of the United Males'.'
In the diplomatic duel between
De Gaulle and President Kennedy
lor the heart of a rejuvenated
postwar "Europa," history seems
. to favor the younger man.
France's President, for all his
- greaUiess, pursues his policies in
solitary grandeur as a man of the
tilth Century who seeks to create a
new Europe of the 20th. lie often
acts as though Columbus never
' discovered the New World. He ",-

is to try to break through Iron-
' tiers which arc too narrow in
the Atomic Age.
' But President Kennedy, some
.10 years younger and head of
Hie world's strongest Industrial na
tion, is already impatient with the
' 2(lth Century.
De Gaulle wants a Eiuopc based
on French-West German coopera

' France's greatness, by a French
i atomic force. He seeks to carve

ready outdated and unrealistic.
Their aim is an interdependent

The current rift in NATO is
thus partly due to the fact that

hower, Europeans are confronting
an American President considered
by many ol Uiem as a dynamic
young politician ambitious to
muke history. This, in the view ot
old world diplomacy, is always
dangerous in international affairs.
Former President Eisenhower
was for most Europeans a father
image. He was essentially a
friendly man and a majority of
Europeans resxinded to his
friendship.
No one expected Eisenhower to
engage in grand schemes. He
frighlened no one with revolution
ary ideas. Even as chief of the
West's military forces in Uie lust
war, Ike was essentially a father
image in a military uniform Hie
understanding chairman among
ambitious and quarreling gener
als. Since Eisenhower was never in
a hurry to force issues, he al
ways took time sometimes too
much time to consult with Amer

The most frequent complaints registered
by area citizens is in the field of magazine
subscriptions sales, roofing sales, home repair
and dinner-ware. In each case, there are es
tablished firms in this community, and others,
where these same items may be found, and
purchased at the same or nearly the same
price. In any event, when the purchaser finds
he is dissatisfied with the product, he knows
where he can return it, and with little diffi
culty. Reliable sales organizations are bonded,
and are more than willing to comply with
existing community laws. When those groups
enter a community, they check in with au
thorities, and secure permission to canvass
that area. If they do not, they are not likely
to be the type of business that has a good repu
tation, and citizens should be aware of the
consequences.

historic process and reshape the
world. He is thus prepared to
ride out whatever storms may
blow up within Uie Western alli
ance. He is confident that none
of them would be fierce enough
lo keep NATO disunited should
Russia threaten with aggression.
Who is right De Gaulle or Ken
nedy? It is too early to judge.
But the young American President
who is a religious man would do
well to remember the counsel ol
the prophet Ecclesiastcs that "lo
evoryUiing Uiere is a season, and
a time to every purpose under
heaven."
In diplomacy, likewise, there is
a time for firmness and a bo a
time for flexibility and tolerance.
De Gaulle is not a young man.
It is loo late for him to learn
new techniques of international re
lations or discard his illusion of
France's grandeur. But lie is 7;t
years old and is not likely to re
main in power (or long.
It is thus wise diplomacy In
avoid rash reactions to De
Gaulle's rejection of Britain's
membership in the European Com
mon Market.
To be sure, all Western na
tions now need to reappraise the
whole state of Uie Atlantic alli
ance. But they must do so with
the full knowledge that Uie Ken-nedy-De

quarrel among friends and not

Behind Uie scenes, and without
taking Ihe American people into
its confidence, the Kennedy Ad
ministration has begun a com
plete reversal of the defense poli
cies which have protected us
Irom Soviet attack. Architects of
the "new strategy" are Dr. Walt
W hitman Hoslow, chairman of Uie
State Department Policy Planning
stalf. and Defense Secretary Rob
ert S. McNamara.
The McNamara-Roslow policy
calls for a systematic cutback of
U.S. nuclear and missile power
so as to "reassure" the Soviets of
our peaceful intentions. In the
past, the U.S. has relied on over
whelming nuclear superiority as
a deterrent lo Soviet aggression.
Dr. Rnstow has sold Secretary
McNamara on the idea that "nu
clear stalemate" is preferable.
This means Uiat the U.S. will al
low Uie Soviets to catch up until
they are evenly matched.
Mr. McNamara believes that if
nuclear war comes, the United
States should simply trade blows.

efense Plans Scrapped
after Uie Khrushchev - Kennedy
deal on Cuba. But Uie record
shows that as late as Nov. II,
1902 after the discovery of Soviet
missiles in Cuba Deputy Secre
tary of Defense Roswcll L. Gilpat
ric agreed on a television program
that "our missile bases in Turkey
are still a valuable part of our
missile defenses, even though we
have adequate Polaris and
ICBMs." Did they become "obso
lete" overnight:
Equally contradictory is the Ad
ministration argument that we
musl "phase out" the Strategic
Air Command the most feared
striking force in history because
our missile bases surrounding the
Soviet Union can do Uie job. This
reason could be advanced as late
as Oct. 29. 1W2. when Secretary
McNamara stressed the value of
Turkish and Italian HtBM bases.
But now the U.S. is simultaneous
ly shutting down these bases and
scrapping the B-58 bomber pro
Brain, as well as pulling out our
B-47 from Europe.
Al the same time, our troops in
Europe, which may have to face
overwhelmingly greater Soviet
numbers, are being deprived of
the "equalizer" that made our
position tenable. The Davy Crock
el I atomic gun was designed spe
cifically for tactical use to give
small units of American troops a
lire power superior to that of
astly larger Soviet units. The
Davy Crockett is of use lo us
only in Euroiv where we confront
the Soviet mass armies. But the

The British, who had the Sky

realize that without tactical atom

troops. The British Foreign Of
fice has already protested private
ly and publicly against this new
and dangerous decision. They have
warned that rather Ulan relieve
tensions, il will invite Soviet ag
gression. They also eel that the
withdrawal of -to.iHMI U.S. troops
from Europe, as announced by
President Kennedy, will further
ennwnce Ihe Ki-cmlin that the
U.S. has no stomach for a show
down. And they are concerned
by the 50 per cent cutback in pro
duction of Uie Minutcman missile
by Ihe Pentagon.
The Rostow .McNamara axis,
however, is determined to push
ahead with what many on Capitol
Hill are beginning to call "unilat

the ideologue and he believes 1 1 1
that the Soviets are "maturing"
and '2' that they will come
around to our way of thinking if
we prove ourselves reasonable.
Roth Dr. Rnstow and Secretary
McNamara are committed to a
policy of "disengagement"

WASHINGTON i.NEAl - Blunt
warning that Latin America Com
munists may "step up the tactics
of violence in Uie months ahead."
has just been given by Assistant
Secretary of Stnte for Inter-American
Relations Edwin M. Martin.
Testifying before a House For
eign Affairs subcommittee under
Rep. Armistead Selden. D-Ala.,
as it began a three-week investi
gation of subversion in Latin
America, Martin declared that:
"The Communisls, impatient to
score successes to recoup their
prestige in Cuba and in this hem
isphere (may) resort to terrorism,
sabotage and guerrilla activities
in an attempt to get publicity, un
seat governments and seize pow
er." Made on the eve of Venezuela
President Romulo Betancourt's of
ficial visit with President Kenne
dy in Washington, this is a time
ly warning.
Martin's two - hour opening
statement, followed by closed tes
timony before the Selden commit
tee, is an inventory ot Communist
activity in Latin America. He
identifies five "waves" of Com
munist infiltration of Latin Amer
ica from the end of World War I
to Uie rise of Caslro in late 1958.
This began the sixth and cur
rent wave of Red penetration,
with a Communist party organ-'
ized in every one of the 20 Amer
ican republics. In 1958 an esti
mated 215.000 of 250.000 party
members in Latin America were
in the Argentine, Brazil. Chile.
Cuba and Venezuela, the rest
scattered.
In 1959 Cuba sponsored armed
expeditions against Panama. Do
minican Republic and several oth
er countries. All failed. Since then,
the Cubans have followed a more
subtle revolutionary approach,
channeled in four main direc
tions, says Martin.
These are: Formation of front
societies friendly to the Cuban
revolution. Establishment of now
erful radio transmitters for prop
aganda broadcasts, and a Prcn
sa Latina news service. Covert
linancial support to subversive
groups in other countries. Indoc
trination and training of between
l.noo and 1.5(10 Lalm Americans

Infiltration has succeeded best
in Brazil, winning important key

challenged as revisionists by left

The well-established Chilean
Communist party has followed the
popular front road and come close
to success in alliances with Popu

In Bolivia the orthodox Com

power through infiltration of the
National Revolutionary M o v e
ment. The Guatemalan Labor (Com

icy of preparing for every form of
struggle. El Salvador Communists
hegan guerrilla U-aining last year.
The Ecuadorcan Communist par
ty has adopted a line for early,
viulent revolution. There have
been pro-Castro demonstrations in
Bolivia. Uruguay and elsewhere.
In Mexico, the Communist party
is split, but actively supported
through the Cuban embassy. Stu
dent organizations in Mexico, Chi
le and the Argentine have recent
ly elected slates of moderate of
ficers. But in Peru and Venezu
ela, Communists dominate stu
dents. The increased Uend toward vi
olence is most notable in Venezu

ing of foreign-owned warehouses,
homemade pipe bombs, hit-and-run
raids killing and wounding
bystanders, and the recent hi
