The Soviet Union publicly ad
mitted last night it has been mak
ing a behind-the-scenes effort to
persuade Communist China to en
ter bi-lateral (good for both sides)
talks with the Kremlin on ending
the Sino-Soviet quarrel.
-The Moscow admission fol
lowed indications by Red China
that it has compromised with the
Soviet Union on the necessity for
talks to solve their ideological
dispute.
The Communist New China
News Agency said in a Peking
broadcast Sunday thai Moscow
and Peking had agreed on the
necessity. The Peking broadcast
indicated that the talks had been
proposed in a letter of February
21 FROM THE CENTRAL COM'
MITTEE OF THE SOVIET COM
MUNIST PARTY to the Chinese
Communist central committee.
What does it all mean?
: It means that when thieves fall

'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.

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

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."

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

must be destroyed and one way
might be to institute a selective
blockade if experts on interna

would not be an act of war.

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.

"I could have shot the other
suspect," Hettinger said. "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

dered us out of the car. We stood

"Have you ever heard of the
little Lindbergh law?" Hettinger
quoted Powell as saying, refer

"Yes," Campbell replied.
Shoots Campbell
Hettinger said Powell then

mouth.

was shining brightly," Hettinger
said. "Suddenly it was covered
by a cloud and I ran. I guess
they couldn't see mo very well.
