COUP.
la The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
The big news today?
As tliis is written, it seems
still to be the alleged split he
tween the Russians and the Red
Chinese. At the moment, there
appears to have been a definite
and WIDE split and the Russians
appear to be relieved and RE
LAXED by what has happened
The Retf Chinese appear to be
glum and angry.
This morning's dispatches say
"Joking and bubbling with en
thusiasm. Premier Nikita Khru
shchev launched the Krem
lin talks on a nuclear test ban
agreement yesterday in a three
and a half hour conference with
special U.S. and British envoys
He jovially suggested signing the
agreement right away.
"Red China, whose feud with
Khrushchev has reached the point
of a split, took angry note of the
talks. A Peking broadcast
charged that the negotiations
were based on what it called the
, 'utter hypocrisy' of President
Kennedy's strategy for peace."
Not only was Khrushchev in a
jovial mood. The Moscow dispatch
es add:
"Newsmen saw E. H. Harri
man I U.S. negotiator) and Lord
Hailsham (British negotiator)
come out of Die Kremlin in ap
parent good spirits. Leaving in
separate cars, both were laugh
ing and smiling as they talked
with their associates."
Question:
Can there be a SAFE agree
ment with Russia?
Well, some pretty good people
have thought so. John Foster Dul
les, who in his way was a pretty
good man, said many years ago:
"The time may come I be
lieve it will come when Russians
of stature will patriotically PUT
FIRST their national security and
the security of their people. They
will be unwilling to have that
security and that welfare sub
ordinated to the worldwide ambi
tions of International Commu
nism. "If their point of view should
prevail, then indeed there could
be a basis for worthwhile nego
tiation and practical agreement
between the United States and the
new Russia."
One more question:
If there should be a World War
III, would it be possible to wage
it without using nuclear bombs?
That's a difficult question. But
we have to judge the future by
the past.
The Germans introduced the
use of poison gas when they sent
clouds of chlorine gas against
the allied forces at Ypres. It
wasn't too successful then. The
wind changed and blew the gas
back into the German ranks.
But poison gas was perfected.
Ways were found to make it
more dependable as a killer to
be used with relative safety
against an enemy.
There came then World War II,
The warring countries stock
piled gas masks and manufac
tured vast quantities of highly
perfected- poison gas. No one
knows how close the Germans
lied at that time by a MADMAN)
came to using it. The Allied
high command was prepared to
FIGHT BACK WITH POISON
GAS.
But even Madman Hitler never
used it.
So-
Mavbe it will be possible to
ban the use of nuclear weapons
in any future war.
y Who knows?
At any rate, it may be worth
a trial.

Hopes Dull
By United Press International
Strikes in the Northwest lumber
industry continued to spread to
day, after any hopes for a settle
ment soon were scuttled by the
outcome of negotiations in Port
land Monday.
The Lumber and Saw mill Work
ers Union (LSWi and Internatioit
al Woodworkers of America
'IWAi extended their strike
against Georgia-Pacific Corp. to
its Springfield operations, idling
between 1,000 and 1,100 men.
Pickets appeared at 8 a.m. at
two plywood mills and a fiber-ply
mill near Springfield, at logging
operations in the Mosby Creek
and Row River areas south of the
city, and across a private logging
road.
Monday the LSW struck a Geor
gia-Pacific plant at Toledo, idling
loo workers at a sawmill ana a
plywood mill. 1WA members
working in the woods were not
affected.
Other Georgia-Pacific operations
at Coos Bay, Coquille and Pilot
Rock, Ore.; Olympia, Wash., and
Feather Falls, Samoa and Wood-
leaf, Calif., were 'working today.
About 22.500 Idle
The Springfield closures bring
to about 22,300 the number of
men idled in Oregon, Washington,
Montana and California by the
dispute.
The two unions Monday turned
down a wage increase of 26 cents
per hour over a three-year period
The offer was made by the Big
Six bargaining group in a seven-
hour negotiating session arranged
by federal mediators in Portland.
The unions reportedly asked 35
cents.
No more meetings were sched
uled with the Big Six, which rep
resents U.S. Plywood, Crown Zcl

The unions struck U.S. Plywood

other four firms shut down the
next day on the basis that a
strike against one is a strike
against all.

Wallace Takes Position
Against Civil Rights
WASHINGTON (UP1I Ala
bama Gov. George C. Wallace
told Congress today that if the
proposed public accommodations
section of the administration's
civil rights bill becomes law, he
will make no effort to enforce it

Wallace testified for the sec

committees holding hearings on
different sections of President
Kennedy's civil rights package.
A scheduled appearance today
by Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy
before the Senate Judiciary Com

committee decided to hear some
of its own members ahead of
him. A spokesman said later that
Kennedy might testily Wednesday,
or his appearance might be re-
scheduled for a later dale.

Soviet Asks
U.N. Summit
Meetings
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI
The Soviet Union has proposed
that tlie heads of state and gov
ernment of all member nations
attend the 20th anniversary ses
sion of the U.N. General Assem
bly in 15.
The suggestion raised the pos
sibility of a summit meeting be
tween the major Last and West1
powers in conjunction with the
U.N. session.
The Soviet proposal was dis
closed by U.N. sources and the
official Soviet news agency Tass.
1 he Soviet recommendation
was contained in a letter from
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko handed to U.N. Secre
tary General Thant Monday by
Nikolai Fedorenko, chief of the
Soviet mission, the U.N. sources
said.
Gromyko's letter was a reply
to a message from Thant asking
tor the views of all member gov
ernments on an "international co
operation year" for 1965 voted
last year by tlie General Asscm
bly.
Advocates Free Zones
According to Tass, Gromvko
also advocated nuclear-free zones
separating nations of the North
Atlantic Treaty Oraanization
(NATO i from Warsaw Pact coun
tries, normalization, of trade be
tween all countries and an end
to colonialism by 19(i5.
The General Assembly has vot
ed to set up a 12-membcr com
mittee to make plans for the 20lh
anniversary of Uie founding of
the United Nations in 1945. Thant
polled Uie III U.N. members on
their views on the resolution.
The Soviet suggestion came at
a time when East-West cordiality
at the nuclear test ban talks in
Moscow led to hope for a relaxa
tion of tensions and the possibili
ty of a top-level meeting among
leaders of the major world pow
ers.
Diplomatic sources in London
said Monday that President Ken
nedy docs not favor a summit
meeting with Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev and other
Western leaders at this time.
But they said if the Moscow talks
opened up the prospects for fur
ther cold war settlements he was
not believed !:!:;! to re(use.
Kager For Meeting
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
Ian, according to the diplomatic
sources, is eager lor an early
summit meeting and would press
for one if the Moscow talks are
encouraging.
The sources said a three-power
summit meeting among Kennedy
Macmillan and Khrushchev could
be arranged on the occasion of
signing a test ban if agreement
is reached.
Among tlie difficulties which
could prevent such a meeting Li
opposition from France and Ger
many, the sources said.
French President Charles de
Gaulle is known to oppose sum
mitry on Uie ground that it is not
an effective diplomatic practice.
The West German government!
is believed to fear an allied
"deal" with Russia at Germany's
expense.

Senate Monday.
The bill. Senate Bill 793, as
amended, is a compromise meas
ure following extensive hearings
in Washington at which various in
terested individuals and groups
from this area appeared in April.
The bill was introduced in the
Senate by Sen. Clair Engle, Cali
fornia. The bill does not contain all of
the recommendations proposed by
the various groups, but "it is a
bill that contains many of the sug
gestions and recommendations of
Klamath Drainage District," it
was stated today by Dick Henzcl
president of the district. Henzel
and George Proctor, KDD attor
ney, appeared in hearings April
24 this year to urge changes in
proposed Senate bills 784 and 793.
Other area groups seeking
changes in Uie proposed law w ere

had earlier supported a bill by
Senator Thomas Kuchel of Call
fornia; Klamath Sportsmen's As
sociation, Klamath County Court,
Klamath County Farm Bureau, ir

Falls, ami others.
Henzel said Tuesday Uiat the
Senate-passed measure would es
tablish in perpetuity the validity
ot the orimnal contracts between1
Uie pepartment ol Interior and
users of water for irrigation and
agricultural purposes.
Observers pointed out thai the
bill establishes wildlife conserva
tion as rating consideraUon over
agriculture uses of the area, but
it still protects the right of irri
gation water users and homestead
ers. It continues the present pat
tern of land leasing.
According to testimony by Sen
Engle before the Senate subcom
mittee on Irrigation and Reclama
tion, in April, the bill is designed
to end a poinlless controversy
between agricultural and wildlife
interests. Engle said that his bill
is a "concession" to agriculture,
but he added "it is of minor con
sequence and a proper one,
terming it a small price to pay
to obtain united support at last."
The Tulclake Irrigation District,
through manager Ed Lance, Tues
day morning stated: "The board
of directors of Tulclake Irrigation
District is gratified that the bill
was amended to provide for a
cash leasing program as pro
vided in Section 5 of Bill 784
Sen. Clair Engle's bill.
However," the statement con
tinued, "the amendment passed in
Section fi of Senate Bill 793 is
ambiguous and not clear, and
doubt is created as to the con
sistency with the district's con
tract."
Lance said the district is mak
ing a report to Congressman Har
old T. (Bizz) Johnson recommend
ing some minor changes in Sec
tion fi.
Lance and Henzel both said that
their groups will continue to work
with congressmen in an effort to
achieve the necessary changes in
the bill when it comes to the at
tention of the House, No action
has been taken by the House In
terior Commitlee, where similar
legislation bogged down last year.
Monday's Senate bill is designed
to stabilize the ownership of lands
in adjacent and intermingled irri
gation districts and the Upper
Klamath, Lower Klamath, Clear
!.ake and Tule Lake refuges in
Southern Oregon and Northern
California. Tie refuges were all
created by presidential decree
as far back as I93, according to
TID testimony, which referred to
luthorization of the Klamath Proj

Spokesmen at the Senate hear

tion. It is not known at this time
whether Uie iecific rccommen
