In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS In an editorial page piece the other day, the Eugene Register Guard found occasion lo comment on the tendency of EDUCATED people to string it out too long when they write letters especial ly letters for publication. In its piece, it offered this com ment: "Unfortunately, the educated man has two strikes against him. Too often, he knows so much about a subject that he can't write about it in fewer Uian a few thousand words. "fetters (intended for publica tionlhat are most often returned i by editors) because of length are letters of well educated people who just couldn't stop writing. These writers just do not realize that a short letter that makes its point quickly is many times as effective as a long, involved let ter that goes unread. "When a reader puts aside a long article 'to read when I have time' he has moved thai article one step nearer the garbage can." Voltaire, who is listed by most of the critics as one of the lit erary GREATS of all time, put the importance of brevity and clar ity about as well as it has ever been put when he said in a let ter to a friend: "I hope you will pardon this long letter. I am verv busy today and I HAVEN'T TIME to write a short one." It takes time to write so brief ly and so clearly that NO ONE can fail to grasp the meaning ofl what has been written. Another of the great practition ers ot Brevity and clarity wasi Abraham Lincoln. His Gettysburg address has been called the only great prose poem of classical per fection in modern English. Yet it contains only 267 words in ten sen tences. But Lincoln chose those 267 simple, noble words with such care that NO ONE, even to this day, a century after they were spoken, can fail to be thrilled and inspired by them. There is a strange tradition that Lincoln wrote his Gctlyshurg ad dress on the back of an envelope on his way by train to the Getty burg battlefield. Nothing could be farther from the truth. He made FIVE hand written dralts of it. It was the second of the five that he finally chose as the one that most clearly expressed his deep feeling. Battlefield, consecrated and gov ernment are three of the longest words he used. But these were cs sential to the thought he wanted to convey. If you will re read his immortal Address, you must come to the conclusion that not a single word could have been left out without clouding his meaning. In Hamlet 'Act II. Scene II William Shakespeare, one of the Great Masters of the English lan guage. causes Polnnius to say to the Queen: "Therefore, since brevity is the! soul of wit. "And tediousness the limbs and Ojward flourishes. "I will be brief. Your noble son is mad." So- There's no doubt that the Regis ter-Guard is rieht in Its advice to letter writers.

Khrushchev arrived in Commu nist East Berlin Friday and was expected to hold an Eastern bloc summit leaders meeting there early this week. The explosion blew a hole about two feet by seven feet through the six-feet-high wall at a point about 25(1 yards from the Checkpoint Charlie crossing point between W est and East Berlin and only a half mile from the Soviet Em bassy. It was doubtful whether Khrush chev heard the explosion, how ever. He was visiting a machine tool factory in East Berlin at the time. This was the 17th explosion at the w all since it was built Aug. 13. 19111. This latest blow at Communist prestige followed a cool reception given to Khrushchev when he ar rived in East Berlin Friday. The Communist-controlled East German press attempted in huge Red headlines to claim it was a "triumph for peace." But West ern newsmen and the West Berlin newspapers Mere unanimous in agreeing thai as a show intended apparently to "out-Kennedy Ken nedy" it was a flop. Two satellite Communist lead ers arrived in East Berlin Satur day morning. They were Ctech oslvak President Antonin Novotny. and Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar. Polish Communist party chief Wladyslaw Gomulka is due Sun day and Bulgarian Premier Todor Zhikov also is on his way.

Eugene Ivanov has been under "house arrest" in Moscow since June 21 while Soviet author ities conduct their own investiga tion of his role in the Profumo scandal, diplomatic sources said today. Reports from Moscow said the former London Naval attache is being held in a modern villa used for the interrogation of im portant prisoners. It is regarded as a halfway house between free dom and formal imprisonment. Ivanov was suspended from the Communist party a week before he was taken to the villa, the re ports said, and given "leave" from the Navy Ministry, where had been working since his return from London in December. The sources said Ivanov is be ing cited as a horrible example by "old school Soviet diplomats who maintain that a Soviet rep resentative abroad should have no contacts except official ones wnii( V A Price Fifteen Cents 50 LYNCH PARTY When retiring Rotary Club president Frank Ganong was receiving the plaudits of a number of speakers at the final meeting of his term Friday noon, this gang of "stalwart" Republicans was brewing up trouble for the ex-prexy in the form of a lynch party. Armed with guns, clubs, pitchforks, and the usual tar and feath ers, a rail and noose, the group swarmed into the Rotary County Civil Defense On Part Time The civil defense program in Klamath County officially be comes deemphasized at 8 a.m., tomorrow, July I. when the coun ty olfiie of civil defense begins operating pn,a part time basis lor the first time since it became established six years ro. The CD Office has been rele gated lo a somewhat perfunctory status as the result of an W.000 slash made in the CD budget by tlie County Budget Committee ior fiscal year W63-64. which starts tomorrow. The CD office had been operating on an annual budget close to $11,000, but this year its operating funds have been pared to $3,359. In the fiscal wake of t:ie scut tled CD program has gone Coun ty Civil Defense Director Joe Searles. head of the olnce since its establishment in 1937. Searles has declined to continue in the present post on a part time basis. Civil Defense is a lull time business and I cannot compro mise any part of the program, which would be necessary if it continues under the plan now in effect," Searles said. The duties of the post have been passed on to County Pur chasing Agent Jim Watson, 24, who will serve as part lime CD director in addition to his regu lar purchasing work. As Watson viewed the assign ment the new program will be more of a holding action than one of deemphasis.

Telephone 3ovie Tension MOSCOW (UP!) - The Soviet Union has expelled five Chinese Communists, including three dip lomats, it was disclosed Satur day. The unprecedented action brought Sino-Suviet relations to the gloves-olf stage. Peking, which disclosed the So viet action, said tlie Kremlin act ed because three members of its Moscow Embassy staff distrib uted copies of a June 14 attack on Premier Nikita S. Khrush- hev's coexistence policies an attack not printed in the Soviet press. The Chinese said tlie Soviet ac tion in declaring the five Chinese persona non grata was "unrea sonable" and that the excuse was untenable." Observers said such an expulsion would Jmoeril the Sino-Soviet peace talks scheduled for July 6 lo heal the breach be tween the two Communist giants. Peking identified tlie five Chi nese as embassy staff members Mei Wei-kang, Lu Pei-Hsin and Wang Yao-tuiig. It said Moscow also asked the recall of Liu Tao yu, a Chinese post graduate stu dent, and Yao Yi, an "institute functionary." The attack on Khrushchev s policies was contained in a 67- page letter from the Chinese Cen tral Committee to tlie Russians. It warned that capitalism would "bury" communism if Khrush chev's policies were followed. The reported expulsion of the Chinese from Moscow has not been confirmed officially here but lit became a foregone conclusion after the Soviets had branded the abusive Chinese letter as contain ing "unjustified slanderous at tacks" against the Soviet Commu nist party- A snecial reso uflon .of the So- k. Central Committee which concluded its plenary session last neck, after hearing Khrush- chev's accusation that the Chi nese has "aggravated the Sino- Soviet dispute to the limit," re- jected the letter and refused to accept Peking s challenge that It be published. Enough is enough, the So- ie(s said in effect, and further accused tlie Chinese of violation of an agreement not to jeopar- dize the July Sino-Soviet meeting by continuing public polemics. Tlie Chinese Embassy here completely ignored tlie Soviet protest against tlie distribution ol what it considered a "scurrilous letter, and continued to dissemi nate it among hundreds of Soviet organizations, the diplomatic corps, the universities and lor eign correspondents. At the same time Peking Radio maintained a barrage of Russian language broadcasts beamed at the Soviet Union in an effort to woo away the Soviet people from their leaders whom the Chinese consider "un-Marxisti." Such distribution of anti-Soviet materials is incompatible with normal diplomatic practice, So viet sources said In explanation of the ouster of three minor olficials of tlie Chinese Embassy and two graduate students. The deterioration of Sino-Soviet relatioins has appeared to reach almost at a point of no-return en hancing the likelihood of a mo mentous schism of the Commu nist bloc into two conflicting camps.

Macmillan, Agree On Nuclear Ban C1IELWOOD GATE. England (UP1) President Kennedy and Prime Minister Harold Macmil lan agreed in lengthy talks Sat urday night to press hard for a nuclear test ban treaty with Rus sia as the major Issue in the American leader's "strategy for peace." They met for !)0 minutes alone then called in tlieir top advisers lo hammer out strategy instruc tions for the British and Ameri can negotiators who will meet with tlie Russians on the critical nuclear issue in Moscow July 15, Macmillan's spokesman, Harold Evans, said the two leaders were concentrating entirely on the nu clear test ban issue because they wanted to coordinate specific and effective instructions in an effort to persuade tlie Soviets to move forward a "meaningful agree ment" to halt the perilous nu- clear arms race, i ALL ti - - Weal her AGRICULTURAL FORECAST ftvinry ptr wit lunthln today fol io wd by tow ihowort tonight and Monday, Thrtat of frost di mint thing tonlghl.

Neither side apparently wants to take the responsibility for can celling the ill-conceived confron tation of July 5 which instead of achieving . a settlement of the Sino-Soviet dispute may result in its aggravation. President Kennedy arrived from his sen timental journey to Ireland Satur day and immediately plunged into major discussions on world affairs with . Macmillan. Their talks arc expected to take in the new crises hitting the Communist camp. Evans said tlie two men dis cussed the nuclear test ban with in "tlie Reneral context of East- West relations.
