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

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

Viet Nam Crisis
SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(UPH The long-smouldering
religious-political crisis in South
Viet Nam exploded today w ith
a lightning attack by soldiers and
policemen on a main Buddhist
pagoda. 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

had been dedicated in South Viet
Nam. Lodge had planned to spend
a day in Tokyo before proceeding

Diem Action
In Viet Nam
WASHINGTON UPI - The
United States today denounced in

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

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.

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.
