( u Sam period last yaar J ) In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Mishmash in the news: Back in Milwaukee i Wisconsin I yesterday, a small foreign car was rolling along the highway behind a big truck. Suddenly, the truck slowed sharply. The driver of the little cai stopped w ith squealing brakes and smoking tires. He took a monkey wrench out of his tool kit, went forward, smashed the truck driv er's rear view mirror and re marked in a casual tone: "Since you don't use it, you have no use for it." He then went back, climbed into his midget car and went on his way. In Corvallis yesterday, t w o horses were passing a bee colony. One of the horses knocked over one of the beehives. The bees issued forth and stung the horses. Whereupon one of t h e horses kicked over two more bee hives. The owners of the horses rushed out to protect them. In the ensuing melee, one of the horses was killed, the other was critically stung, three per sons were hospitalized with bee stings and horse kicks and the bee colony was totally, demol ished. Hmmmmmmmmmm. They all acted just like nations, didn't they? In London, Europeans launch an investigation into U.S. eating habits. Why, they want to know. do Americans first cut part of their food, put down the knife and eat with the fork in the right hand, then start the cycle all over again. In Europe, it is con sidered elegant to keep the fork in the left hand, with the knife retained in the right hand. Queried as lo the whys and the wherefores, a visiting Amcri can replied: "We inherited the custom from our early ancestor?, who found it advisable to leave the left hand free to grab the frontier rille when the Indians got obstrcper ous. Besides, history tells us that most of the Mayflower colonists were left-handed to begin with. Both Richard Nixon and Gov ernor Edmund Brown are travel ing in Europe. Yesterday 3rown took a crack at remarks made by Nixon in East Berlin last week. "I don't think," he said in Lon don, "tliat Mr. Nixon is doing anything to lessen world tension." Nixon. Governor Brown re-, marked, is traveling in a private capacity. He got a laugh when he added: "He's not in public life or which 1 am very thankful. Why is Governor Brown in Eu rope? He explains: att I tn innntnci Polifftl". 1 am Utile iw miicoac nia's trade with Europe. My : ir- tn call Palifnrnm main uuipuac is i 'i I hope to promote California trade, particularly in agricultural products, with Europe and to en courage European tourist travel to our state." Shucks! Let's be realistic about it. Mr. Nixon is traveling in Eu rope 'and making speeches when invited to do so in an effort to get back into the limelight. As a salesman for California. Cnvernor Brown is traveling on expense account which is always' rather pleasant. County Gets Road Funds Klamath County has received a check in the amount of $92,221 for its share of state highway rev enues for the quarter which end ed June 30. the county treasurer's office disclosed today. Under state law the counties re reive 19 Dcr cent of the collec tions from motor vehicle regis trations, gasoline taxes, motor carrier fees and fines for traffic violations. The distribution of funds is mad- nn the basis. of the num ber of vehicles registered in each county. The recent check has boosted the amount received by the coun ty in highway revenue funds dur ins tl Dast fiscal year to J387.- 156 M, which exceeds the Uttf.972 It received during fiscal year 1961-68. Price Ten Cents 20 Pages Court SALEM (UPIl-The Oregon Su preme Court this morning cleared the way for circulation of pcti tions on a special tax referendum by upholding the ballot title writ ten by Atty. Gen. Robert Y Thornton. The court turned down an ap peal by a Lane County group that (he wording be changed. State Sen. Edward Fadcley, D-Eugene, argued for the change in a court hearing Tuesday. In a brief opinion this morning, the court said Thornton's tille complies with the law. The Thornton title reads: "To increase state revenues. Abolishes federal tax deduction. Lowers per sonal tax rates. Provides mini mum tax. Increases corporation PATRICK J. HURLEY Yalta Critic Succumbs SANTA FE, N. M. (UPI) Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, for mer secretary of war, diplomat, and bitter Republican critic of the Yalta agreement which he said established Communist power in China, died in his sleep Tuesday night at the age of 80. Hurley's career as a soldier, lawyer, oilman and public ser vant spanned two world wars and brought him wealth and high honors. But he was defeated in three attempts to win a seat in the U.S. Senate. And he was never reconciled to the policies which led him to resign as ambassador to China in 1945. He quit in protest against the provision of the Yalta agreement which said: "The former rights of Russia violated by the treacher ous attack of Japan in 1904 shall be restored." Last year. Hurley said this pro vision "not only revived and re stored imperialism to China, but owing to the fact that there was no longer a czar nor any Russian government other than the Soviet, the former imperial rights of the czar were given to the Chinese Communists. "I declined to make that pro vision effective and resigned as ambassador," Hurley recalled. "General George Marshall was sent to China and did make that provision effective. "At the time I stated: 'The Yalta secret agreement is the blueprint for the Communist con quest of China.' " . The other major controversy in his public life came in 1952. when in his third campaign for the U. S. Senate he was defeated by the Democratic incumbent, the lale Dennis Chavez, by fewer than 5.000 votes. No Progress Reported W ASHINGTON IPH - An in dustry spokesman said today there had been no progress so far in the government's latest efforts to settle the railroad dispute. The comment came in the wake of a statement by a Labor Department official that union and mana cement negotiators had exchanged new proposals on the key issue of the need for firemen on diescl trains. The spokesman for the railroads noted that their negotiators had accepted recommendations by a White House emergency group for resolving the long work rules dispute when they were first is sued in mid-Mav.

Petition Deadline Sept. 1 Foes of the 1963 legislature's bill to raise an added $60 million in tax revenue now have until Sept. 1 to collect 23.185 signa tures needed to bring the issue to a vote Oct. 15. Albany publisher J. Francy! Howard, who is leading the move to get the bill on the ballot, said he was "highly delighted" with the court s speedy decision. He hopes to get .petitions in cir culation next Tuesday, although Ihe big job of printing the peti tions hasn't started yet. Howard waited until the court decision on the ballot title before going ahead with the printing job. Each petition can carry only 20 signatures but will have to include the full text of the tax bill, w hich is 18 pages long. Howard said he does not have a statewide organization to push for the petition signatures, but he has received pledges of help from throughout the state. Tuesday's court hearing took only 40 minutes. Fadeley argued the Thornton title failed to set out the chief purpose of the bill to raise the money needed to balance the state's budget. Donald Burnett, State Tax Com mission attorney, defended the ballot title which Thornton sub mitted. Ballot Title Limited He noted the tax proposal makes 38 substantial changes in the state's tax law, 11 of them major ones, and the ballot title is limited by law to 25 words. Burnett said the proposed Thornton ballot title is designed to list those which would have the greatest- impact. Fadeley said the Thornton bal lot title failed to mention the lib eralized treatment for capital gains taxes which would affect about 90,000 persons and the spe cial treatment for heads of house holds which would affect 30.000. He noted also that the title fail ed to mention the substitution of tax credits for personal exemp-l tions which will affect all tax payers. Pulp Mill Pact Okayed PORTLAND I UPI I A contract covering 20.000 employes at 49 pulp and paper mills on the Pa cific Coast has been ratified by the members of two unions, it was announced Tuesday. Representatives of the United Papermakers and Paperworkers and the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers reached agreement on the pact earlier this month with officials from the Pacific Coast Association of Pulp and Paper Manufacturers. The mills are located in Oregon, Washington and California. Oscar W. Robertson of Portland, union chairman at the negotia tions, announced the ratification but would not disclose the vote. A similar contract was rejected by the unions' membership last month. However, there was no threat of a strike. The one - year pact, which is retroactive to June 1. includes benefits of about 10 cents an hour. It puts minimum hourly wage rates at $2.37 for men, $2.10 for women and $3.34'j for journey men mechanical employes. W. Willaid Wirtz's renewal of mediation elforts under conces sional pressure, I lie rail spokes man said: "There has been no progress so far in these negotia tion attempts." The unions have not made any significant concessions in recent days, the management spokes man added. Acting Chairman John O. Pas tore said, meanwhile, that the Senate Commerce Committee hopes to wind up shortly hearings on the administration proposal to let the Interstate Commerce Commission decide the contro versy.

Unions Carry Out fith Nevj Surmise By United Press International Northwest lumber unions carried out their threat lo call surprise strikes against members of the Timber Operators Council today with shutdowns at Sweet Home, Lebanon and North Bend, Ore. The closures came hours before Region 3 President Harvey Nelson of the International Woodworkers of America I IWA and Earl Hart ley, executive secretary of the Western Council of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers ILSW. were to meet in Salem with Ore gon Gov.

S. delega tion which will leave for Moscow Friday night for the signing of the limited test ban treaty, the White House announced today. The specilic date for signing of the treaty has not yet been set, but it was understood that the! ceremony probably would be held Monday. The delegation will include five U.S. senators three Democrats and two Republicans. The inclusion of the two Repub licans Sens. George Aiken, Vt. and Iiverctt Saltonslall. Mass., tended to convey a bipartisan air for the trip lo the ceremonial signing of the treaty. Some other Republican leaders! had served notice in advance that they would not make the trip even if invited, and there had been reports that only Democrats! would accompany Rusk. No House members were in cluded in the delegation appar ently because it is the Senate that must ratify the treaty before the U.S. participation becomes binding. Other senators in the delegation will be Chairman J.W. Fulbright, D-Ark.. of the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee: Sen. John O In Rail Gilbert said. "Thai's a lot closer than we've "neon at any other time in the past four years." Pastore, D-H.I., whose com mittee heard witnesses until near ly midnight Tuesday night, said he hoped an appearance by Wolfe tonight would all but complete testimony on the proposal. The committee must meet at night beiaue of a Southern parliamen tary move to prohibit committee meetings while the Senate is in session, a protest against pending civil rights legislation.

Bourke Hickcnlooper R-Iowa, top GOP member of the foreign relations group, and Sen ate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen III., had said in advance they would turn down any invita tion to join the delegation. In addition to members of the Senate where the treaty requires two-thirds vote for ratification others accompanying Rusk on the Moscow trip include: William C. Foster, director of the Arms Control and Disarms ment Agency; Dr. Glenn Sea borg, chairman of the Atomic En ergy Commission; Adlai t,. Stevenson, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; Llewellyn Thompson, former ambassador In the Soviet Union and now special assistant to Rusk, and Arthur Dean, who formerly headed the U.S. delegation to disarmament negoliations at Geneva. Dirksen denied that his refusal Itn go represented an anti-treaty stance. Dispute into Ihe dispute "adds up to compulsion" and urged adoption of his suggestion that collective bargaining be renewed under su pervision of Congress. Meany said that if the rails dis pute gets lo the point where Con gress determines it must "with draw the workers' right to strike" it should "consider making them public employes and putting the railroads under public ownership. Congressional objections to the administration plan were revealed Tuesday when Rep. Ilarley 0 Staggers, D-W. Va., said the plan amounted to compulsory arbitra tion. He said this would he "only the start" toward nationalization of tlie railroads. South Korea Commander Puts Entire Force On All-Out Alert LONDON (UPH - Communist China plans further attacks on So viet policy and may match its militant propaganda with pin prick acts of aggression like this week's border incidents in Korea, it was learned today. Authoritative sources said the new Peking campaign would be! aimed at embarrassing Soviet Pre mier Nikita S. Khrushchev's search (or a settlement of cold war issues with the West. They considered Peking's charge Tuesday that the Soviets sold out to the West in agree ing to a partial nuclear test ban the opening shot in the Chinese campaign. (Communist China continued its criticism of the test ban today broadcasts monitored in Tokyo showed. It charged the Soviet lead Portugal Disciplined By Council UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. lUPH The Security Council today ap proved by an 8-0 vote with the United Stales, Britain and France abstaining a watered down resolu tion disciplining Portugal for its policy in its overseas territories The resolution asks all countries to withhold from Portugal arms military and other supplies which would enable it to con tinue its repression of the peoples of the territories under its admin istration." II calls upon Portugal to take steps in those territories Ango-1 la, Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea to grant sclf-determina-I lion and independence to the na tives. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson said the United States abstained primarily because we do not believe the resolution was drafted either in the language or form best calculated to achieve the re sults we all seek as quickly and harmoniously as possible." The resolution was passed after a scries of moderating amend ments, proposed by Venezuela, were accepted by the original sponsors Ghana, Morocco and the Philippines. Portugal's NATO allies stood beside her. Norway, after having tried unsuccessfully for two days! to gain acceptance of amend ments that would have toned down the measure even more, was the only NATO power to vote for discipline of the Lisbon gov ernment. The approved resolution, for which Ghana, Morocco, the Phil ippines, Venezuela, Brazil, Nor way, China and the Soviet Union voted, asks Secretary General Thant to give whatever assist ance he deems necessary to carry out the resolution and to report lo the council by Oct. 31. This was a month later than the spon sors originally had asked him lo report.

In another civil rights develop ment, the author of a fair em ployment practices commission bill said the administration would support Inclusion of the measure in its civil rights package.

This will mean developing the Chinese economy, including the armed forces, so that cutoffs of Soviet aid can no longer be a threat. It will continue the personal attacks on Khrushchev and his peaceful coexistence policies. The sources said Peking's leaders are well aware they can expect lit tle change as long as Khrushchev remains in power unless oeace- ful coexistence fails.
