CCHP. r7 oio. TBI "Hmi WWiii IT WAS A GREAT SHOW AND SALE When the lights were dimmed in the salet arena at the Klamath County Fairgrounds at midnight Aug. 20, and the prime beef, Umbs and hogs had been sold, there was an air of accomplishment, of a job well-done. Jhe annual 4-H Club Fall Fair and Livestock Sale, annual proiect of Klamath County 4-H leaders and the Klamath Falls Rotary Club, was history and hundreds of boys and girls had earned the rewards of months of hird work. The buyers bought until the last In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS The big story today? It's the debate before the U.S. Senate which must ratify or RE JECT the treaty limiting'thc test ing of nuclear weapons to UN DERGROUND tests. The treaty has been signed by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but before it can become binding it must be ratified by the U.S. Senate. Hence the debate that now is being waged in Washington. Dr. Edward Teller is today's most spectacular figure. He opposes the treaty. He says he believes Russia is ahead of us in perfecting a MISSILE KILL ER and wants to stop NOW, be fore we have time to develop a defense against missiles which would require TESTING. That, he says, is why Soviet Premier Khrushchev wants this country to agree to halt all but under ground explosions. Why is a missile killer im portant? Well, if we can learn how to STOP MISSILES before they can get to us we can avoid nuclear destruction. The other side of the argument was presented this morning by Dr. Harold Brown, the Penta gon's research chief. Dr. Brown says: The limited nuclear test ban treaty will actually IMPROVE, rather than damage, the military position of the United States. He adds: Even if the Soviet Union CHEATED on the treaty, to the maximum extent possible, with secret tests, they could not ob tain any substantial military gain comparable with UNRE STRICTED nuclear testing. He concluded: "This treaty before the senate (for ratification or rejection) will IF FULLY OBSERVED actually improve somewhat the position of the U.S., as compared with a situation where both sides are NOT bound by a treaty to re frain from tests everywhere ex cept underground. On the military side in the Great Debate that now is going oil before the Senate in Washing ton, General Curtis LeMay, air force chief of staff, endorses the treaty ("reluctantly," the re porters say) and General Thom as S. Power, chief of the Stra tegic Air Command. OPPOSES it as "not in the best interests of the U.S." General Bernard Shriever, head of the Air Force Systems Command, tells a closed session of the Senate preparedness sub committee that he feels that he can "carry out his mission BET TER without the treaty." What of us little people? Well, we listen. We shake our heads in perplexity and hope for the best. It's a highly tech nical subject, and we don't know the answers. A word of advice: Let's listen caretully. Let's ap praise to the best of our abil ity. Let's not get carried away on either side. Let s use our heads. This mav be one of the great turning points of history Driver Grins And Bears It MOVELY. Mo. 'LPI'-Wil-liam Houston gave up try ing to start his car Hailed on a railroad crossing Tues day.

More than 100 Buddhist monks were arrested. Communications with the out side world were cut off after the middle-of-the-night raid. The Sai gon Airport was closed to com mercial traffic. The U. S. Embassy in Tokyo said martial law was declared throughout South Viet Nam. The embassy has been in close touch with the explosive situation be cause the new U. S. ambassador to Saigon. Henry Cabot Lodge, was passing through Tokyo today en route to assuming his post. Upon his arrival in Tokyo from Honolulu, Lodge declined to com ment on reports that martial law had been dedicated in South Viet Nam. Lodge had planned to spend a day in Tokyo before proceeding U.S. Assails Diem Action In Viet Nam WASHINGTON UPI - The United States today denounced in oiuni terms wnat it called serious repressive measures" by the Diem regime in South Vict Nam against Buddhist leaders. The State Department instructed the U. S. Embassy in Saigon to call the U. S. statement to the at tention of Vietnamese officials The statement declared that the United States "deplores" the Viet namese government actions and said they were "in direct violation" of assurances by President Ngo Dinh Diem's gov ernment that it was pursuing a policy of reconciliation. The United States for many months has been urging Diem's Roman Catholic government to make peace w ith the Buddhists 70 per cent of the country v. hose demands (or equal treatment have been building up to a crescendo. The seriousness with which Washington views the religious dispute in Viet Nam. stems Irom the urgency of the military cam paian the government there has been waging against Communist guerrilla forces. U. S. officials regard this guer rilla war as perhaps the most crucial "test" in the current Ea-t-West struggle. Officials believe that if the Communists succeeded there the tactics nl guerrilla in surcency advocated by Red China would have proved itself and could well be taken up in other parts of the world. The United States has !2.noo troops in Viet Nam hclpi the government there fight its war. It ha been advising and assi-tinglwme of the amendments to the in setting up thousands of "stra tegic hamlets" in the country lot tilled villages to protect tlie rural populations. Price Ten Cents 24 Pages Explode to Saigon to replace Frederick Nolting, but it was believed his plans might be changed. Hundreds of heavily -armed troops and police, firing pistol shots and using tear bas bombs and hand grenades, swarmed into the main Xa Loi pagoda and arrested the monks who had been demonstrating there against the government of President Ngo Dinh Dieimv Troops also raided three other pagodas in Saigon in the most serious flare-up of violence in the 15-week dispute between the gov ernment and the Buddhist major ity. It could not be determined whether there were any casualties in the raids. (The U. S. Embassy in Tokyo said word lias ' been received from the U. S. Embassy in Sai gon that all Americans in the South Vietnamese capital had been warned to take cover fol lowing the raids.) The Xa Loi pagoda has been the headquarters for rebellious Buddhists who have been feuding with government officials over alleged religious discrimination by the government. Diem and many of his top aides are Roman Catholic. The sudden crackdown on Bud dhist headquarters led Western ob servers to believe the crisis may have reached a climatic point. The dissident Buddhist leaders had been planning a dramatic demonstration upon the arrival of Ambassador Lodge this week, and it was speculated the govern ment had moved before the plans could be carried out. The religious political dispute has eroded oopular support for the Diem regime and has dis rupted the government's protract ed struggle against Communist Viet Cong guerrillas. Foreign Aid Bill Moves Toward Vote WASHINGTON (UPH - Ad ministration lories today pushed the House toward a reluctant ap proval of the M l billion foreign aid bill, but observers predicted a close vote. The measure, if approved, would bring to $108.1 billion the total U. S. outlays for foreign military and economic assistance. With the prosram under its heaviest attack.

Five persons have been arrested so far in connec tion with the crime nnd $H67,42U! of the loot recovered. A London newspaper, the Daily Herald, reported that an under world stool pigeon has given po lice full details on hojv the rob hery was carried out and the names of 31 members of the gang including hijackers and accom plices. Industries are on record as op posed to referral, and a spirited preelection battle could result over the issue. At the special Oct. 15 election Oregon voters would either ap prove or reject tlie legislature's lax measure. II approved it would become law, retroactive to Jan 1, 19B1. If rejected. Hatfield would have to trim $M) million from the state's $404 general fund bienni um budget, or call a special leg islative session so lawmakers could make (he cuts or enact a new tax measure. 316 Animals Sold During Brisk Sale By RUTH KING Willing buyers at tlie 2flth an nual Junior Livestock Sale at the Klamath County Fairgrounds Tuesday night paid $56,309.40 for 316 marketable steers, lambs and hogs.

As an interesting sidelight on the auction, one buyer, Bruce Houck of the Chuck Wagon, who bouglit a pen of three market hogs, discovered it best to keep hands in pockets at a sale. Houck, at tending his first livestock sale ' in Klamaui Falls, bought a pen of three fat hogs. A moment ; later he greeted a friend with a wave of a hand and 'ound out he was owner of four more fat hogs. Mr. and Mrs, Houck are parents of six children.
