The parade was one of the biggest and best seen in Klamath Falls in many years most viewers agreed. Marching on the left is the sleek honor guard from Kingsley Field and "rolling along,' Tiki's Combo from Klamath Union High School. The combo entertained spectators dur ing the presentation of trophies at Modoc Field. On the right is the very colorful Marine Corps League float which was judged the best in the parade and received the sweep stakes trophy. The float was constructed b members of the local Marine Corps League and took 250 hours of labor to put together. Pat Shamrock, league commandant, laid 10,000 aluminum roses were used on the float. In The- Day's lews Weather By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, the National Safety Council is hoping it can scrap its gloomy prediction of a possible new all-time record for highway deaths in the U.S.A. over the 1963 Independence Day weekend. It had estimated that from Wed nesday evening until midnight Sunday the total for the five nights and four days might run from a minimum of 550 to a maximum of 050 traffic deaths. Instead, a nation-wide press association count at mid-morning ' today shows only 178 highway fa talities reported up to that hour. Question: Do you 'reckon we Americans just MIGHT be getting a little more sensible in our holiday driving habits? Let's hope so. Incidentally The all time record for traffic deaths for a summer holiday week-end was set on Memorial Dav of this year when 525 traffic- fatalities were counted. The high mark for an Independ ence Day long week-end was set in 1061, when 509 people died in highway crashes. From Moscow: The Soviet Union fired two blasts at Ked China yesterday on the eve of peace talks be tween the two feuding commu nist powers in Moscow, which are scheduled to begin today. The Russian communist party central committee issued a statement ac cusing the Chinese of slander, meddling and "aggravating rela tions." The Soviet Foreign Ministry jater issued a sharp statement "rejecting Red China's "tenden tious lecture" over the expulsion last week of five Chinese from Moscow for distributing an attack on Premier Nikita Khrushchev's leadership of the world commu nist movement. The broadcasts said Communist China would reply to the latest Soviet blasts when it meets the Russians face to face in the big dow-wow to be held in Moscow, beginning today. It termed the Russian charges "distortions of the truth." Fic! Fie! Children! You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, fighting and quarrel ing like this. You should read Isaac Watts Divine Songs, in which he says: Let dogs delight to bark and bite. For God hath made them so Let bears and lions growl and fight, For 'tis their nature to. But, children, you should never let Such angry passions rise: Your little hands were never made To tear each other's eyes. Birds in their little nests agree: And 'lis a shame'ul sight When children of one family Fall out and chide and fight. Still and all If SOMEBODY has to chide and fight, let's be duly grateful that it's the commies who are doing it. There is an ancient proverb to the effect that when thieves fall out, honest men have a chance to come into their own. Klamath Falls. Tulalakt and Lakavitw Decreasing cloudiness tonigM.

Willard Wirtz met night Wednesday. today with both sides in the rail-l One of 'e union negotiators road dispute to outline steps the government might take if an agreement is not reached by mid night next Wednesday in the strike-threatening situation. But as they went into the meet- ing, spokesmen for both the rail roads and the unions indicated they had not budged from their long-held positions. J. E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for the Yailroads, said the carriers still plan lo put into effect work rule changes after the deadline Summit Meet Ends Badly BONN. Germany lUPP Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer and French President Charles de Gaulle apparently failed at a two- day summit meeting that ended here today to settle their differ ences over the future of Britain's relations with the Common Mar ket. A joint communique issued at the close of the meeting this aft ernoon did not even mention the problem. Spokesmen for the French and German delegations, pressed by reporters, would say only that the Common Market question w a s discussed and would be consid ered again at a ministers meeting of the six-nation economic group ing in Brussels next week. The Germans had insisted the question be considered at today's meeting. But the French, who had torpedoed Britain's bid to enter the Common Market, were un willing to agree here on any or ganized method of maintaining liaison between the market and Britain. French Foreign Ministry press chief Claude Lebel told question ers only that "various ideas were discussed." reiterated that the five railroad brotherhoods would strike if the companies put the work rule changes into effect. The labor secretary said Thurs day after a 30-minute Independ ence Day conference with Presi dent Kennedy thai emergency legislation may be requested from Congress to avert the strike the opposing parties cannot find a solution themselves. As Wirtz put it when asked whether Congress would be brought into the four-year-old dis pute: "That possibility is certain ly imminent." He declined to speculate on what action President Kennedy would request of Congress. But he acknowledged there has been talk of legislation permitting com pulsory arbitration, seizure of the railroads, or a combination of both. Wirtz described the situation as "deadly serious" and said a strike would "involve the shut ting down of our country" economically. A nationwide strike would idle about 700.000 rail workers and cause layoffs in other industries cut off from supplies. It would halt about 43 per cent of the na tion's freight shipments and 25 per cent of passenger service on 217,000 miles of rail lines. The issues at stake are crucial to the rail unions representing 200,000 members who operate 95 per cent of the nation's railroads The changes the rail lines are ready to install would cost up to 37.000 jobs of diesel firemen, plus others later. They would also change pay scales for those who kept their jobs. Tlie dispute has gone through two presidential in vestigating commissions and all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled the railroads had the right to make the work changes The new rules generally would make it possible for the train companies to reduce crew sizes, overhaul pay systems, assign road crews to do yard switching and yard crews to do some road work, and permit longer runs without crew changes.

UPI Telephoto Red Chinese Meet Russ MOSCOW iUPI The Chinese delegates to the Sino-Soviet ideo logical talks arrived here today in an atmosphere charged with hostility by a last-minute ex change of bitter charges. The Chinese negotiating team flew in by special plane from Peking, landing at Vnukevo air port this afternoon. The visitors were met by Soviet delegation leader Mikhail Suslov, senior Kremlin ideologist. The two sides wasted no time getting down lo business. Relations between live two Com munist giants were strained to the breaking point just hours be fore the opening session of the showdown talks that will deter mine the course of international communism. Red China announced a bitter new protest against the Soviet Union earlier in the day, and the Russians printed a front-page ed itorial in the Communi:t party newspaper declaring they would not back down in the discuss- sions. The negotiations were called originally to restore peace to the Communist world, but the flurry of last-minute vitriolic charges and counter - charges between Moscow and Peking cast strong doubt that any progress would be made. Western observers felt there was a possibility of a historic split of the Communist camp. The new China News Agency, monitored in Tokyo, said the Chi nese delegation left Peking ear- Resolution Set WASHINGTON IUPII Two Republicans plan to introduce a resolution in Congress urging tho Kennedy administration to e n d the balance of payments deficit.

The Chinese apparently delayed Hie departure of their delegation to the last possible moment There had been some speculation they might cancel or postpone the talks, especially after a new attack on Peking's position Thurs day by the Soviet Communist party. The Russians lolloucd up Thursday's attack with a front page editorial in today's edition of the party newspaper Pravda declaring the Soviet delegation! would hold "unswervingly lo the Kremlin's interpretation of Mai xisrri-Lcninism. The latest Chinese protest, as reported by the New China News Agency, accused the Russians of creating "new obstacles" to the "unity" talks on ideological nd political differences. The protest was in connection with the recent expulsion of three Chinese diplomats and two stu dents from Ihe Soviet Union for distributing copies of a Chinese letter strongly condemning the Kremlin's osition in the dispute.

By United Press International The National Safety Council hoped today it could scrap its predictions of a possible record for highway death over the In dependence Day weekend. Despite pcrlccl driving con ditions and heavy holiday traffic in almost all sections of the coun try, ihe traffic fatality count was running behind expectations. Close to 200 persons had died since tlie start of the 102-hour weekend. But barring a deadly spurt on the highways, it appeared the safety council s pre - holiday estimate of 550 to B50 traffic deaths by midnight Sunday would not be reached. It was even pos sible that the total would fall be low 500. The traffic death record for a summer holiday was set last Memorial Day weekend when 525 fatalities were counted.

Thornton advised. A iwtition to refer the revenue measure was filed by J. Francyl Howard, president of the Citizens Committee for economy and Equitable Taxation. Howard's group still faced de lays before circulation of peti tions could begin, however. As soon as the secretary of stale is notified of tlie title as signed for the measure, a 20-day appeal period egins. Anyone Can Object Thornton explained "any person who is dissatisfied with tlie ballot title can file an objection within the 20-day period. 'II then becomes a matter for the Supreme Court to determine." Thornton said there is no legal lime limit for the Supreme Court lo approve or reject the title. 'In the past there has been the feeling that objections to ballot titles were deliberate attempts at stalling to prevent petitioners from getting signatures," Thorn ton said. Howard's group must get 23,185 signatures before a special elec tion can be held on the revenue measure. Tlie legislature set aside $300,- 000 and an Oct. 15 election date fur such an election. "Considerable Time" Possible Thornton said "it may take con siderable time for the Supreme Court to act. Many feel this is a defect in the law and should be lightened up, He explained there was no pro vision in the law for extending the time for circulation of peti tions in case of delays caused by a challenge of the ballot title The law requires signatures to he gathered within 90 days of ihe end of the legislative session. lack Thompson, elections super further interpretation l! said, "it needs to be implemeitlcd." - Miami Sen.
