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

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

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

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

No House members were in

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
