What does it all mean? : It means that when thieves fall out honest men can hope to come into Uieir own. Conversely, when 'thieves GET TOGETHER it's time (or honest men to look for trouble and prepare to meet it Our side has been doing a lot of patting back and forth here lately. It's high lime for us to call it off and get together. From Washington: Senator Wayne Morse, of Ore gon, charging in a Senate speech that reporters have failed to re port events truthfully, said: "The people of this country know that American journalism, bv and large, has failed in its responsibilities under the First Amendment to TELL THE TRUTH." . Is he right? Or is he wrong? Let's put it like this: If American journalists to use Senator Morse's hi-falutin word for reporters) have failed to re port events TRUTHFULLY, it is because they have to quole so many politicians. More from Washington: The federal government could define areas for daylight saving time under a bill introduced by Chairman Warren Magnuson, of: the senate commerce committee. Senator Magnuson (from the state of Washington) says lie neither supports nor opposes the bill, but merely introduced it at the re quest of the Interstate Com merce Commission. He added: "The commission itself is not unanimous in its thinking on the bill, but we are both agreed as to Ihe need for some additional time legislation The I.C.C. claims it is often injected into local controversies over daylight saving time with no power to resolve them reasonably." Under the bill, the I.C.C. could fix daylight saving time in ANY area from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in Octo ber. Hmmmmmmmmm. '. Every now and then somebody In Washington comes up with an intellicent idea. If we have to tinker with the time of day. lei's have the same kind of tinkered time all over the country.

UPI Telephoto House Approval Seen For Extension Of Draft WASHINGTON (UFI - The House appeared set today to ap prove a four-year extension of the draft law. Congressmen said they would try to limit the extension to two years and to cut the top age limit Russia Asks China Talk McNamara Warns Reds Of Invasion WASHINGTON' UPI'- Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara would consider it "an invasion" If Russia shipped more troops to Cuba to crush a revolt against Fidel Castro, it was disclosed to-dav. In previously secret testimony released today. McNamara said if Russia attempted to use the same strategy it used in Hungary, l would interpret it as an invasion." McNamara's reply came in an swer to a question by Rep. F. Edward Hebert, D-La. In other testimony, McNamara told the House Armed Services Committee that Cuba is using un derground caverns to store wtap- There are probably "several hundred" surface-to-air defense stored in Cuban caves. McNamara said. But he said he did not believe Castro had an nff.nive missile hidden on the island. Asked by Rep. Philip J- Phil hin. D-Mass.. if it would be pos sible for Castro to conceal offen sive missiles without the United states beine aware ot it, Moa- mara said it was possible, but nnt likelv. The defense secretary gave his testimony over several days be ginning in late January. MOSCOW (UPI) The Soviet Union publicly admitted tonight it lias been making a behind-the- scenes effort to persuade Commu nist China to enter bilateral talks with the Kremlin on ending the Sino-Soviet quarrel. The Moscow admission followed indications by Red China that it has compromised with the Soviet Union on the "necessity of talks to try to solve their ideological dispute. The Communist New China News Agency said in a Peking broadcast Sunday that Moscowj and Peking had agreed on the need for such talks. It indicated the talks had been proposed in a letter of Feb. 21 from the Cen tral Committee of the Soviet Com munist Party to the Chinese Com munist Central Committee. The Peking broadcast said "both affirmed the necessity of holding talks between the two par-1 ties on important questions con cei ning the international Commu nist movement at present." from 26 to 22. but both moves faced strong opposition. Rep. Henry S. Reuss, D-Wis., said he would offer the two-year amendment. He said Ihe draft was a "necessarv evil" and Con gress should not commit itself for any longer than necessary. In a fluid world situation Reuss said, unforeseeable events might eliminate the need for the draft. He also said a study showed the draft could be ended if enlistment were made more at tractive. .,..,;,. Rep. Roman C. Pucinski, D-Ill., sponsored the plan to cut the top draft age. Chairman Carl Vinson. D-Ga of the House Armed Services Committee was expected to op pose the move on grounds the President already has power to lower the draft age if it is in the national interest. Pucinski said. "It appears to me somewhat cruel and illogical to subject more than 10 million American young men to the shad ow of the draft for a period of 7'4 years when we only take an in finitesimal fraction of these young men into the Army every year." Dy L nitcd Press International A late winter storm brewed from border-to-border today, un leashing wind storms and a tor nado in Texas, bringing heavy snow warnings to the upper Mid-i west and dropping the tempera ture below zero in New England. A tornado that sounded like a "slow roar" sliced through Kaufman, Tex., damaging build ings and homes and uprooting trees. Sheriff H. L. Evans said the Nash Grain Co. was hardest hit. He estimated damage at $100,000. No casualties were reported. Electric power was cut and gas escaped from broken lines until it was turned otf. A roof nasi ripped off one home. Severe storm and tornado warnings were posted for north east Texas and southeast Okla homa as a line of heavy thunder-l showers moved slowly to the1 northeast. Snow fell over northeast Kan sas and south-central Nebraska. Goodland, Kan., had two inches nn the ground. As the storm moved up the plains, heavy snow warnings were out for parts ol Nebraska, Min nesota, South Dakota and Iowa. Rain and thundershowers were out ahead of the storm along the Gulf Coast and Mississippi Val ley into the South Atlantic states, Showers also moved into the Ohio Valley where the cleanup of last week's flooding was under way. Business was expected to be normal at Freemont. Ohio, as the Sandusky River settled back into its banks. SALEM I UPI i A possible eas ing of tensions between the gov ernor and legislative leaders was hinted today by House Speaker Clarence Barton and Senate Pres ident Ben Musa. Gov. Mark Hatlield holds a news conference this afternoon which may indicate if there has been any relaxing of I h e chief executive's feelings. Barton, commenting on last week's running battle between legislators and the governor, said 'this is not personal with me." I still have great admiration for the governor. I think he is doing what he feels is best for the state." Musa commented, "I think the feud has slowed down to a walk." Musa Hits Hatfield The senate president added. however, that he felt it "most unfortunate that the governor cas tigated Democrats and legislative leaders from a political forum." It was a relereice to Hatfield's speech before a Republican wom en's group in Portland last week n which he termed Democrats 'soft on defense." "It's not good to make com ments such as this when the leg islature is in session," Musa said. 'That's the kind ot talk you ex pect during an election campaign." Musa said last week s battle was "blown a little out of proportion." He's entitled to fight for his views jumI like we are," he said 'It's not smart to belittle an other's actions just because you don't agree." CD Cutback Favnrerl Musa added that "the grass roots seem to favor a cutback in civil defense," and c't"d letters he had received, and comments from constituents while he was at home during the weekend. Barton said, "we arc all trying for the same goal the governor, the Ways and Means Committee, and the legislature all are try ing to do what is best for the people of the stale. "I hope he credits us with the same intention." Barton explained the governor has to rely on Finance Director Freeman llolmer for budget ad vice because Hatfield "doesn't have time to go into every agen cy's budget." Time Lack Cited "We have our fiscal committee. They haven't had time to go into every budget either, so they have concentrated on the important ones." Musa responded to charges that the legislature was not working hard enough by citing the case of Sen. Anthony Yturri, R-Ontario, who became ill last Friday. He worked himself into a frazzle," Musa said. Musa also lauded the coopera tion between the House and Sen ate Tax Committees. "This is the way the legislature should act," he said. "It takes time to find out what is neces sary. But we are making great progress." GOP Solon Suggests Oil Blockade Asylum Plea Rejected By TO PROBE INSURANCE WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., said Sunday his Senate Antitrust sub committee would investigate cer tain phases of the insurance in dustry, administered prices and over-the-counter drugs. mptwipiapiiiw ' ii4'V J V vtr mmm ; . - ' V ' - "i Blasts Rock Oi!

Switzer- BONN (UPI) West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to day spurned a plea for political asylum from Georges Bidault, leader of forces seeking to topple French President Charles de Gaulle. Bidault had appealed to Aden auer as an "old friend." Bidault, fugitive former French premier who was picked up in a police raid Sunday, also sought asylum from the Bavarian state government, but government sources said Adenauer's refusal to even accept Bidault's letter ap parently closed the door to him in all of West Germany. The continued presence of Bi dault in West Germany could put a severe strain on relations be tween France and West Germany. Possibilities were mounting, government sources said, that land and Austria have been men tinned as possibilities. Ihe lormer rrench premier asked both the Bavarian state government and Adenauer for asy lum. The contents of the "old friend" letter to Adenauer have been w idely published in German newspapers. Bidault was subjected to hours of interrogation again today at the Bavarian resort village of Stcinebach, where he was picked up at dawn Sunday. He was whisked in a police car to his rented hilltop mansion for lunch. Bidault, 63, was placed under police protection In the hilltop villa where he w as discovered. He immediatclv asked Bavarian state authorities for political asylum and said he had mailed a similar re quest to Adenauer. Federal government authorities in Bonn, however, said no such request had been received, as far as thev knew. WASHINGTON (UPD - Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Oirksen has suggested a "selcc- livc blockade" to cut off oil ship ments to Cuba if it could be im posed without provoking war, Duksen said Sunday he agreed with President Kennedy that complete blockade of Cuba would be an act of war and very risky. He said "nobody wants to take the chance of plunging tliis coun try into war if he can help it." But the GOP leader said Cuban Premier Fidel Castro's regime must be destroyed and one way might be to institute a selective blockade if experts on interna tional law should decide that it would not be an act of war. Other developments on Cuba in. eluded: Deputy Defense Secretary Roswcll Gilpatric said he did not know bow many of the 17,000 So viet troops in Cuba had been rc-l moved. But he said the adminis tration would not be satisfied un til they were gone. Rep. Emanuel Ccllcr, D-N.Y., called critics of Kennedy's Cuban policy war whoopcrs." He pinned Ihe tag on Sens. Kenneth Keating, R-N.Y., and Hugh Scott R-Pa., and Rep. William E. Mill-1 or, R-N.Y., the GOP national chairman. Rep. George W. Brown, D Calif., said there was a "hysteri cal clamor" over Cuba stirred up by a vociferous minority who seem to think the solution to U.S. problems would be physical de struction of the island. Rep. William C. Cramer, R- Fla., said the American people were entitled to know "who gave the orders" in the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion. LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Twoi ex-convicts who kidnaped two po lice officers and brutally shot one to death in a farm field, alter-i nated confessions today and blamed each other for tlie slaying. One suspect was captured soon ifter the crime. The other, taken into custody Sunday night less than 24 hours after the shooting, was to visit tile death scene to day en route to Los Angeles. Officers Ian Campbell, 30, and Karl Hettinger, 28, were forced to drive to the field near Bakers- field, Calif., about 95 miles north of here late Saturday night. Campbell of ChatsworUi, a fa ther of two young. girls, was shot in the face then killed with four bullets pumped into his chest as he lay in the furrowed field. Het tinger escaped when a cloud drifted across the full moon and; he was able to zig-zag across the field as the gunmen fired at him Gregory Powell, 30, Boulder City, Nov., was arrested near Bakersfield a few hours later as he attempted to flee in a stolen icar. His partner, Jimmy Leel Smith, 32, Los Angeles, was ar rested ui a Bakersfield rooming house shortly before midnight Sun day night. Neither man resisted although both were armed. After hours of intensive ques tioning, Powell told Sgl. Pierce Brooke he and Smith had roblied several liquor stores and drug stores m the Los Angeles area, "We were looking for a hold up, we were armed and hot. . when the officers stopped our car we had our guns ready. I jumped out of the car and threw down on Ihe two cops," Powell told Brooks before he was returned to Los An gcles. He blamed Smith for the actual killing of Campbell. Smith also confessed to taking part in the kidnaping but said Powell was Ihe slayer. Brooksl said a this "particular point in the investigation, both suspects shot and killed the officer.'

It would set up two federally financed work programs. One. a revival of the old Civilian Conser vation Corps, would be only for young men aged 16-22, and pro vide work in the nation's forests, parks and reclamation areas. The other, for youngsters ot both sexes in the same age group, would be called "The Local Area Youth Employment Program." This group, dubbed by some wit nesses "The Home Town Youth live Democrats) will be based on its cost and its usefulness. They will question the wisdom of starting any big new program at a time when the Treasury is in the red and the White House is calling for tax cuts The opponents also argue that there is little to be gained by sending a young man into Die deep woods with pick and shovel for six months to two years. They say far more could be accomp lished by teaching youths the modern skills they need to find work in the nation's increasingly more specialized job market. Supporters will reply that the cost of the bill, no matter how ligured, is small compared to the outlay for relief payments and crime control that would follow failure to help jobless, unskilled youngsters. One cabinet member told House members the first year cost was the same as 16 hours of defense spending. They conceded that many youngsters may not learn market able skills in the Conservation Corps, but lay heavy emphasis on the training in work habits to be gained from it. They say the chance to carry out long-delayed conservation work, while helping give aimless youths a sense of di rection is well worth the cost. Aside from these disputes there may be a side battle over racial integration. Republicans pressed Ally. Gen. Robert Kennedy to support language forbidding sep aration of the races in the Youth Corps, but he Insisted it would be handled without an anti-discrimi nation clause. If the GOP members insist on such language, many Northern Democrats might have to support it. That, in turn, could turn large numbers of otherwise lukewarm Southerners Into flat opponents of the measure.

"But Campbell would have been shot." He said they were disarmed and forced to drive the sedan on the freeways toward Bakersfield. They left the main road and drove along a dirt road to an isolated Kern County farm. They knew where they wanted to go," Hettinger said. "They or dered us out of the car. We stood there with our hands over our heads. "Have you ever heard of the little Lindbergh law?" Hettinger quoted Powell as saying, refer ring to the law that makes kid naping a capital offense under certain conditions. "Yes," Campbell replied. Shoots Campbell Hettinger said Powell then tired, hitting Campbell in the mouth. At the first shot the moon was shining brightly," Hettinger said. "Suddenly it was covered by a cloud and I ran. I guess they couldn't see mo very well. I zig-zagged across the plowed ground and crashed rlghi through barbed-wire fence. Then I hid. "I crouched down in some tum- bleweeds and I could sea their headlights when they came look ing for me. Finally they gave up." Hettinger ran for help to a nearby farm where he called the Kern County sheriff's office. He was unhurt except for bruises and scratches. In the meantime, William Rid- idick, a ranch worker, heard his car being driven away. He called the sheriff s office anj) Powell wus found alone in the car about one hour later.

Hum phrey, Minn., today predicted Democrats would beat any Re publican effort to use a "meat axe" on President Kennedy's budget.
