D I uuiwm vti, i itruiuri Khrushchev, beaming with satis faction, led those present in a champagne toast to the future. As they signed, the representa-i fives of the three nations con cerned each offered a comment on the significance of what had just occurred. Here are the com ments: U.S. Secretary of State Rusk: "It is a good first step. If, col lectively, we and other nations; pursue a course to insure that the1 forward momentum is maintained by further steps, man's long,! hopeful quest for peace will cease to be only a dream and will begin to acquire solid reali ty." Soviet Foreign Minister Gro myko: "The treaty may i.e the way for other, more important, , international problems, including the problem of DISARMAMENT." Britain's Foreign Minister Lord Home: "The treaty is an im portant breakthrough in the arms race. Now there is a chance to employ our great resources to produce a more abundant life." It sounds wonderful, doesn't it? Almost too good to be true. One can't help wondering how, and why, it all came about. And- Especially One can't help wondering why Mr. Kroosh, who for years has been talking about BURYING us, has come around so suddenly to this talk of getting along with us. On that point, the AP's Bill Ryan, who is usually very well informed: has this to say: "It is likely the Red Chinese Soviet Communist split played a part in bringing the partial test ban about. Khrushchev's stated policy with regard to world com munism is that more flies can be caught with honey than with vine gar. "Peaceful coexistence, as he sees it, weakens the political arm or of the West, applies pressures against Western governments and creates a climate of trust for the Kremlin in which communists can operate more effectively. Warlike: gestures, such as those indulged in by Stalin, only tend to UNITE the West." Which is to say: Old Kroosh may have decided to use honey instead of vinegar.

No casualties were reported on either side in today's clash. The UNC said the shooting took place far south of the central de marcation line Communist troops are forbidden to cross and just across the boundary of the de militarized zone from South Ko rean territory. It was the first shooting ex change reported since the last of three fatal skirmishes s i x days ago, although UNC troops have fired at suspicious objects along the truce line since then without drawing return fire. A UNC announcement said a patrol of the first cavalry divi sion met a Communist party at 5:02 a.m. today about 1.000 yards east of the spot where a U.S. Army Ninth Cavalry jeep was ambushed one week ago. "The location was just within the southern tape boundary of the demilitarized zone," the an nouncement said. "There were no reports of casualties." A UNC spokesman said "there was an exchange of fire" between the two sides but said no further details were available. Four North Korean soldiers, three American soldiers and one South Korean policeman were ki ed in the skirmishes last week.

Informer Gives Full Details On National Crime Syndicate WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Justice Department says it has for more lian a year' been get ting invaluable details on the op eration of nationwide crime syndi cates from a jailed mobster who broke gangland's infamous bar rier of silence. A Justice Department spokes man said the informer, identified as Joseph Valachi of New York, has given details of how crime bosses operate a web ot vice known as "Cosa Nostra." or "Our Thing." He has been naming names and has pinpointed crime operations in 15 cities, the spokes man said. Valachi is expected to appear later this month before the Senate investigations subcommittee. Details of what the Justice De partment believes is a major break in the war against organ ized crime were first disclosed Sunday in the Washington Star by reporter Miriam Ottenberg. The Justice Department later con firmed the story. The spokesman said Valachi. black stocking! coilumii," ind high worn bv I KLAMATH FALLS, PRECOX, 9- .V 60, wlio has a record dating back to 1918, is serving a life term for killing a fellow prisoner in At lanta Federal Penitentiary when he mistakenly thought the man bad been sent by the syndi cate to eliminate him. Valachi began talking in June of last year and has been under super-tight security since then to protect him from gangdom's exe cutioners. His present where abouts is a closely guarded secret. It is the deadly vengeance of or ganized crime upon the informer that has made cracking the syn dicates so difficult. Although 60 known gangsters were arrested at a plush rural home near A pa la chin. N.Y., Nov. 14, 1957 in what was known to be a summit con ference on crime, none of the participants would tell officers any more than that they all hap pened to drop in on the host, the late Joseph Barbera, at the same time because he was ill.

Tlie size of the blaze had ori ginally been set at 800 acres, but an aerial survey yesterday es tablished it at 502 acres. The blaze roared through stands of white fir after breaking out in an old shack known as Tuck er's Cabin three miles north of the California state line and five miles west of U.S. Highway 97 Friday. Bernice Erickson of the Parker Mountain Lookout spotted smoke from the fire at 12:10 p.m. Fri day. The blaze began In a brushy area, then climbed into reproduc tion timber and into heavy stands of white fir. The area burned includes tim ber lands of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Weyerhaeus er Company and the state of Ore gon. More than 100 men were thrown into the blaze Friday night and a line had been established around the blaze by Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon, high winds jumped the flames Wirtz Holds Rail Talks WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rail road industry representatives met. with Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz today in a renewed attempt to settle the work rules dispute through collective bargaining. Wirtz called the meeting to dis cuss his "suggestions" for a set tlement which would head off a nationwide strike now threatened for Aug. 29. Union rcpresenta-l tives stood by to meet with Wirtz as soon as he completed his talk with the industry representatives. Intermittent meetings on the is sue were held ot the Labor De partment Saturday and Sunday. A union spokesman said the ses sions were designed to "clarify" the suggestions, advanced by Wirtz last Friday. The spokesman said the sug gestions contained the labor sec retary's ideas on the two main is sues in the dispute the necessity of a fireman aboard diescl loco motives and the composition of the crew on switching and yard trains. The spokesman said Wirtz sug gested areas which might be the basis for renewed attempts to negotiate a settlement of these issues. Other sources cautioned, however, against hope for a quick settlement of the dispute. An industry spokesman agreed with this appraisal. The railroads have taken the position that only legislation can solve the dispute. President Ken nedy has proposed to Congress that the Interstate Commerce Commission be made the arbiter but in testimony before the Sen ate Commerce Committee, which concluded hearings last week, la bor witnesses belabored the pro posal as compulsory arbitration and argued that collective bargain- A , M ... .1 , U II fl KG MOTGO V(MUIU MUI UU CORVAI.I.IS 'UPI' A very slight earthquake in the Portland area was registered at 11:25 p.m. Sunday by the seismograph at Oregon State University.

First Major Treaty Since End Of WW MOSCOW (UPH The Unitediboth France and Communist States, Britain, and the Soviet Union today signed an historic partial nuclear test ban treaty which they hailed as an initial step toward ending the cold war and guaranteeing peace. W ith a quick signing of names in St. Catherine's Hall of the Kremlin, the three nations agreedl to the first major control pact be-j tween East and West since the! end of World War II. Secretary of State Dean Rusk signed for the United States, for eign Minister Andrei Gromyko for the Soviet Union, and Foreign Secretary Lord Home for Britain. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush chev, beaming with satisfaction joined in the drinking of cham- the signing. After the ceremony the three signers voiced their hopes for the future in these words: Rusk "A good first step. . .if collectively we and other nations pursue a course to insure that the forward momentum of the agree ment is maintained by further steps, man's long hopeful quest fur peace will cease to be only a dream and will begin to ac quire solid reality." liromyko The treaty may pave the way for the solution of other, more important, interna- tional problems, including the problem of disarmament." Home The treaty Is "an Im portant breakthrough in the arms' race. Now there is a chance to employ our great resources to produce a more abundant life. Needs Senate Ratification Although joining in the expres sions of hope for the future, Rusk pointed out that the treaty does not end the threat of nuclear war. "It does not reduce nuclear stockpiles," he said. "It does not halt production of nuclear weap-! ons. It does not restrict their use in time of war. "It is, therefore, not possible for us to guarantee what the sig nificance of this act shall be. History will eventually record how we deal .with the unfinished business of peace." The treaty bans all nuclear tests except those underground. Before it becomes binding on the United States it must be ratified by the Senate, where favorable. action is believed almost certain The signing of the agreement today sharpened still further the split between the Soviet Union and Red China on ideological is sues. A complicating factor in reaching further agreements is bound to be the determination of If China to achieve their own nu clear forces. Signing Takes Minutes The signing of the historic doc ument took only a few minutes, with three copies of the treaty being passed around for signa ture. Alter each signature was affixed to the treaty which was bound in vellum, an attendant carefully blotted the signature. There was barely time to es tablish a television hookup be tween Moscow and Western mem bers of the Eurovision network. The signing started even before television transmission began. United Nations Secretary Gen eral Thant and the largo Ameri can delegation which included four Democratic and two Repub lican senators, as well as U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson were among the observers. '. After tlie signing, there was a general round of handshakings A round of applause and hand shakes had followed each signa ture. And then, with a small army of diplomats, officials and newsmen looking on, Khrushchev led those present in a champagne toast. All the statesmen appeared in good humor. Broad smiles lit the faces of Khrushchev, Home and Rusk as they shook hands after me signing, Khrushchev said last week tlie treaty "should contribute to a general relaxation of internation al tensions and Rusk said on ar rival Saturday he hopes it will be a "turning point" in the cold war. The foreign ministers will begin talks Tuesday to find other issues on which settlement might be reached. Attacked Treaty Opponents Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Malinovsky attacked Communist China and American "wild men" for opposing the treaty. But high- level American sources here warned that the United States does not intend to relax its vigi lance in dealing with the Soviet Union because of the split be tween Moscow and Peking. The sources said U.S. policy is not based on the supposition that the two Communist giants will re main apart. It is by no means certain that they would not join forces if cither were involved in conflict with a non-Communist nation, the sources said. But the United States does feel that tlie Soviet Union is "genu ine" in its desire to avoid a nu clear war, they added, indicating this is behind Khrushchev's wish to conclude the test ban treaty. 1
