In Miami Beach, for example, where the governors o our 50 states are assembled in convention to consider: . 1. The problems of the nation. 2. The problems o the states they represent. 3. Their own personal prob lems. Of Ihese. No. 3 is the most im- portant-especially to the Repub lican governors. Al this moment in history, nobody knows whom the Republican party will choose tn be its standard hearer in the Presidential race next year. Se lf some Republican governor could just come up at Miami Beach with a diamond-studded proposal thai would sweep the governors convention off its feet and co on to sweep the country like a prairie fire, he would have it made. The situation at Miami Beach this year is a good deal like the situation at Chicago back in 1896, when the Democrats were simi larly uncertain as to whom to nominate as their candidate for President and William Jennings Bryan came up with his famous sneech in which lie saia: you shall not crucify mankind on a cross of gold." The speech won him the Demo cratic nomination for President. . If some Republican governor could just hit the jackpot at Mi ami Beach like Bryan hit it at Chicago 67 years ago, he'd have it made. It's little wonder they're all giv ing their best. The prize at stake is a big one. ' Politics these days is fulIof problems. They have one down at Fresno, where the Western Sunbathing Association is holding its annual convention at the Calyptus Grove nudist camp near Fresno. They're looking for a speaker. But the prospects-are all shy. The Mayor of Fresno who. the reporters say, seldom turns down an opportunity to make a speech begs off. "I'm no prude," he says, "out I honestly don t think I could do it justice." Everybody else seems to feel the same way about it. The chairman of the conven tion, a Mr. Howard Lane, says: "We have run into tins kind o: problem before. Civic leaders are just too sensitive, He adds: "I've thought of asking the Fresno convention for help, but I suppose that's out too. One of our agency's principal functions during a convention is to havei pretty young women fill out name cards and PIN THEM ON DELE GATES. That, you know, can be a painful procedure. Problems. Problems everywhere. It's a weird world we're living In. . r'. "Wet Soots In History." Both Sides In Civil Rights Issue MIAMI BEACH (UPII-Demo- cratic and Republican governors all shouted 'victory claims today in appraising the outcome of the partisan civil rights contest w hich kept the annual governors' con ference boiling for three days. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, who led the outnum bered Republicans in their cam paign, claimed a victory because the final product was similar to the proposal he submitted a month ago. But it was a Democratic pro posal which was approved Tues day by a 88 to 3 vote with only three Southerners dissenting. Three Dixie governors were re corded for it and five were ab sent. There was little doubt, how ever, that the heat generated by Rockefeller had resulted in ap proval of the compromise plan in- $72,000 Preparations Made For Mrs. Kennedy WASHINGTON (UPII-A wing of the base hospital at Otis Air Force Base, Mass., has been specially prepared as a materni ty suite for Mrs. Jacqueline Ken nedy at a cost of more than $12, 000. It was understood that the fa cilities were set up for Mrs. Ken nedy to have her baby next month at the hospital, 18 miles from her summer home at Hyan- nis Port, if she should decide against returning to Washington for the birth. Original plans were for the First Lady to go to Walter Reed Army Hospital here. This still has not been ruled out, but the arrangements are being made for her care at Otis AFB on an "if needed" basis. YOUNG LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS BUSY Four-H Club end Fu. ture Farmer! of America member! are buiy preparing for the 27th Annual Junior Livestock Show and Sale Aug. 18, 19 and 20 at the Klamath County Fairgrounds Sponsoring Rotarians, Klamath County agricultural and 4-H Club agents and olhers are visiting steers, sheep and swine this week to get a first-hand look at progress of the third annual Klamath Claim Win structing the conference execu tive committee to give "top pri ority" to civil rights in the com ing year. It also appeared to have warmed his presidential hopes considerably. The 55th -annual governors' meeting ends today after two more business sessions which may cause an anti-climactic argu-l ment over more Republican civil rights proposals. These were re ported coming in a minority re port from the Public Welfare Committee in the form of de mands that federal aid be with held from states permitting ra cial discrimination in state-feder al programs. Election of a new chairman was also on today's agenda with the job going to a Republican under the traditional rotation between the parties. Gov. Robert E. Smy- lie of Idaho was understood to be the probable choice. Mrs. Kennedy's press secretary Pamela Turnure confirmed today that a suite had been "spruced up" at Otis in a "purely precau tionary" move. She ' said Mrs. Kennedy still planned to return to Washington in time to have her baby. The birth is expected late next month. The wing being icserved for Mrs. Kennedy was reported to contain seven or eight rooms, con nccted by a corridor to the main hospital building. Her room would be about KM) foot from the delivery room. The suite includes a room for the President, which is said to have bullet-proof windows. Other features are a special kitchen, a nursery, a medical room, and doctor's room. Nikita Offers African Atom Ban Freedom Call Is Softened By Africans UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UPI African delegations today were preparing a resolution on Portu guese colonialism more moderate than Tuesday's Soviet demand in the Security Council that Portu gal get out of Atrica this year. The council, in the third day of debate on Portugal's African colonics, awaited the reply of Portuguese Foreign Minister Al berto Franco Nogueira to charges of misrule raised by the 32 Afri can nations and the Soviet Union. But the African resolution, ex pected to be presented to the council today or Thursday, was much less drastic than the Soviet demand voiced Tuesday by Am bassador Nikolai T. Federenko. He told the council that Portu gal's "colonial regime should be liquidated before the end of this year" and that economic and dip lomatic sanctions should be voted "unequivocally" against Portugal. The four African diplomats who presented the ease against Por tugal on instructions of the recent African summit conference in Ad dis Ababa went no further than asking the council to set a time limit date unspecified for Portugal to free its colonies or face sanctions. Portuguese sources said Nogue ira was preparing a long rebuttal to the African indictment and iplanned to speak for an hour or more. Federenko went almost that long Tuesday in a sweeping in dictment of NATO assistance to Portugal in repression of natives in Angola, Mozambique and Por tuguese Guinea. Except for charging that the United States supplied military aid to Portugal to the extent of $268 million dollars Federen ko, perhaps reflecting the Mos cow mood of the nuclear test ban negotiations, was mild in his re marks about Washington. Police Seek Dynamite MEDFORD (UPD-State police here today were looking for a 1'i ton truck loaded with dynamite that was reported two days over due on a trip from Tacoma, Wash. State police said the truck. which was delivering the explo sives for a construction project at Prospect, was scheduled to ar rive Monday.

Khrushchev made his offer as American, British and Soviet ne gotiators met for what diplomats said could be the final round of talks aimed at a limited nuclear test ban treaty that would be the first major cold war settlement in eight years. His remarks came in a mes sage to Alrican nations which took part in the recent confer ence at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In his message, Khrushchev pledged further Soviet efforts to ease world tension. "We shall go on doing every thing to ease international ten sion, to consolidate peace by im plementing the principles of the peaceful coexistence of states," he said. The official Tass News Agency, in reporting the message, said Khrushchev believes East - West agreement to cease nuclear test ing in space, in the atmosphere and under water could effect "a radical turn" toward bettering the international climate. Tass said Khrushchev also wants a non-aggression treaty be tween the NATO powers and the Communist Warsaw treaty pow ers. Khrushchev said in his message that the Soviet Union agrees ful ly with the appeal of the Addis Administration Seeks Support For Test Ban WASHINGTON (IIPnTho k'pn. nedy administration today sought have to be ratified by the Senate. fM by union members at Svmp (n muster conoressinnal sunnort Twn-fhirris nf tha senalnrs vnlinrr s0 plants, calls lor a wage in- for the limited nuclear test ban treaty which has been worked out with Russia and Britain Officials said announcement of the agreement in Moscow was im minent and could come today un less the Russians made some last- minute effort to tic some strings to the draft of the pad.

He said that if the African na tions conclude an agreement ' to this effect, the Soviet Union "is ready to give the necessary guar antees that, in case of any mili tary complications, Africa will be regarded as a continent which is outside the use of nuclear arms." "Provided, of course," he ad ded, "that identical guarantees are given simultaneously by the United Slates and the other nu clear powers." In the past, Communist Po land's Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki has suggested that a stretch of Central Europe be de clared an atom - free zone. Tins view has been endorsed by the Soviet Union, and Khrushchev himself has repeated the sugges tion on several occasions and even has suggested the Mediter ranean and other places be sim ilarly designated atom-free areas. Khrushchev also called for an end to racial segregation in Afri ca and an end to colonialism. Tass distributed Khrushchev's message as the top-level negotia tors reportedly worked out final details before initialing the test ban agreement, which had been expected some time today. But, informed sources said, it now appeared unclear whether a drafting committee had settled on wording satisfactory to both sides. Any test ban afireement would would have to approve the treaty under the U.S. Constitution. In an effort to win the needed Senate backing, Secretary of State Dean Rusk went before the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee Tuesday with a copy of the ten tative two-page treaty to outlaw land, sea and air tests. Informed sources said that the senators were generally impressed with the document, which was de scribed as "simple" and contain ing no hidden gimmicks. Rusk was cautious in his -public remarks after the closed session with tlie Senate group, saying the draft was not complete. This reflected the administra tion's desire to avoid giving the impression that everything was nailed down, lest Soviet negotia tors try al the last minute to in sert some new conditions in the draft. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev has said he would like to have an East-West non-aggression treaty or pledge tied to the test ban pact. But the Russian nego- lators have not inserted this in the draft and reportedly have shown no intention of doing so. Under Secretary of State W. Averell Harriman, the U.S. nego tiator in Moscow, is expected to initial the draft but the question of who will formally sign for the United States has not been set tled. -71.Z w 1 LSW Union Sends Out G-P Pickets By United Press International The Lumber and Sawmill Work ers Union extended its s t r i k e against Georgia-Pacific Corp. to day with the posting of pickets at Pilot Rock, Ore. About 250 sawmill and logging employes were affected. The pick cts appeared about 6 a.m. The Lumber and sawmill Workers and the International Woodworkers of America (1WA) began closing down Georgia-Pacific operations last week in a contract dispute. The only plants still operating are at Woodleaf and Feather Falls, Calif. Negotiations between the 1WA and another independent, Scott Paper Co., continued in Portland today in an effort to prevent the Northwest strike from spreading to still another firm. The union represents about 400 loggers and boom men who supply logs to Scott About 25,000 members of the IWA and the Lumber and Sawmill Workers unions already are in volved in a strike-lockout in Ore gon, Washington, California and Montana.

Five Fires Controlled SALEM (UPI) Five small fires in Oregon forests were quickly brought under control Tuesday, the State Forestry De partment reported today. All were man-caused and the largest was confined to half an acre. Three were in the Southeast Oregon district, where one was caused by a smoker and another by a train. A careless smoker caused one Central Oregon district fire and the cause of one in the North west district has not been identi fied. tf,i '-4t WtW' 'Ma Hereford herd.

Harris appealed to the more time to consider the complicated dispute pre sented to it by President Kennedy. He asked for an an swer within 24 hours. The Arkansas Democrat said that Congress could not and should not be required to act on Kennedy's proposal for averting a strike by next Tuesday, the date the railroads said they rules into operation. The rail unions have stated they will strike if the rules are put into effect. Harris issued his plea as his committee began hear-l ings on Kennedy's plan for settling the dispute through the Interstate Commerce Commission. In an unexpected move, rail road spokesmen arose from the back of the crowded hearing room and asked Harris for per-! mission to make a statement. Daniel P. Loomis, president of the Association of American Rail roads, told Harris that it was not authorized to respond to the re quest, but he said he wanted to make the railroads' position clear. Reading from typed sheets of paper, he said he was "dis turbed" at the request for post ponement because further delay could bring more harm to the hard - pressed rail industry. He contended that the mere threat of a strike was driving business away from the railroads. Harris then told Loomis that the committee recognized the railroads' problem. He added, however, that Loomis' statement "gives substance to what I say about 30 days being too short a time to consider this matter." Congressional leaders, backed by AFL-CIO President George Meany, also have appealed to the raihoads to delay the showdown.lment accounts in U. S. banks, ac- , r T t P u. 4. nunc atuu iuvnii tugiii. that as it stands now, our pro mulgation of work rule changes will tie made effective at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, July 30." The rail unions have announced they will strike if the rule changes are made. The House Commerce Commit tee called Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz to testify at the opening of hearings on President Kennedy s proposal to shunt the dispute to the Interstate Com merce Commission. The railroads endorsed the President's plan Tuesday by a unanimous vole, but Wolfe said that only enactment of the pro posed legislation could head off work rules changes Tuesday. Chairman Oren Harris, D-Ark., of the House Commerce Commit-' tee said Congress could not com plete action on the measure by the management deadline. And it shouldn't have to, he added. Harris told a reporter that Con gress should be given enough time to act carefully on a mat ter that he described as "so sen sitive, so delicate and so impor tant." He said that he hoped all par ties involved in the dispute would act reasonably to keep the sta tus quo." Similar appeals were voiced Tuesday by House Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mans field, Mont., and House Republi- and close-up ot Billy Boy.

Meany, in a letter to the con gressional leaders of both parlies, suggested that the House and Senate adopt a resolution urging the railroads and rail unions to maintain present working condi tions for 30 days. The AFL-CIO president said Congress could not complete ac tion on the railroad measure by Tuesday and its consideration "of this vital subject should take place free from the pressures and strains that would be en gendered by a shutdown." Fidel Grabs Embassy As Reprisal HAVANA (UPI) - The Castro government today expropriated the United Slates Embassy Build ing and grounds in a move be lieved unprecedented in diplo matic history. The action was taken in reprisal for the reeling of Cuban govern- cording to the expropriation de- cree. " The Swiss mission protested verbally both the expropriation de cree and a Cuban government re quest that they evacuate the premises as soon as possible. The protest was made by Swiss Charge d'Affaires Charles Masset to Foreign Minister Haul Roa. Further consultations between Roa and Masset were expected to day. The decree was signed by Prime Minister Fidel Castro, President Osvaldo Dorticos and Treasury Minister Luis Alvarez. The embassy has housed the Swiss mission for American af- fairs, beneath the Swiss flag, since the United States broke relations with Cuba on Jan. 4, 1361. The nationalization decree even specified that all the embassy's equipment and furniture have been assumed by the elate." The decree said it is the duty of the revolutionary govern ment of Cuba, in the mainten ance of national dignity and sov ereign rights of our people, to re spond to the aggressions ot tne United Slates. The latest aggression was the bank freeze, the decree said. The building on the Malecon Seawall Drive was modeled after the United Nations Secretariat Building in New York. Nine Forest Areas Closed SALEM (UPD Nine forest areas in Klamath and Lake coun ties will go under permit closure beginning Friday. The State Forestry Department said the action was taken because of weather conditions and the ex cessive amount of debris on the ground. A permit will be needed to en ter the 608,000 acres ot forest land and smoking will be allowed only designated places. Open tires will be prohibited except in places specially designated. Per sons entering the areas win nave to carry certain tools for fire fighting. Largest ot the areas to be closed is Green Springs, west of Klamath Falls. Others are Horsealadcs, Pole Butte and Boulder Creek north of Bly; Buckhorn Springs and Bear Flat west of Silver Lake; Chilo quin Burn, north of Chiloquin, and Beaver Marsh near mat com munity. Areas closed previously Include the Brooks-Scanlon area west of Bend, Little Squawback, north of Sisters and the Heppner and Ran chcria areas. t
