The Chinese said the border In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Corning. Iowa: The militant National farmers Organization WO if you prefer initials! w h i c h last summer staged a five-week market re b e 1 1 i o n on livestock, today launched a holding action de signed to keep feed grains off the market. The plan calls for members of the 19-state farm organization to withhold soybeans, corn and grain sorghum from market until the NFO signs contracts for high er prices with processors. Along with the withholding ac tion, members are being asked to sign sales agreements which would give NFO leaders virtual control of the marketing of soybeans. Soybeans are chos en for the first withholding be cause the soybean harvest be gins next week in some parts of the NFO area. The plan will be extended to other feed grains as this year's crops begin to come into the market. Question: Will it work? Searching for an intelligent an swer, it will work if enough growers sign up in the first place, and then STICK WITH IT UNTIL demand exceeds-, supply. If and when that time comes, the price will go up in response to the workings of the basic law of supply and demand. That's about the long and the short of it. Modern progress note: The Canadian Forestry Depart ment has invented a gun that plants Pondqrosa pine trees by the simple device of firing plas tic bullets into the ground with a spring-operated gun. Each bullet contains a seedling, as young as eight weeks from the seed. As the seedling grows, the plastic case breaks and allows the roots to expand. Survival and growth of the seedlings is now being watched carefully. The main advantage of it, the foresters report, is that the root system is not disturbed. In the ordinary plantings, the for esters must begin with nursery grown stock that is transplanted first in the nursery and again when it is moved to the refores tation areas. There is no distur bance of the roots in the case of the bullets. The technique was developed by a research forester at the Uni versity of British Columbia. If it is successful, it is believed that it will greatly reduce the cost of replanting denuded areas. Research is one of 'he amazing tools of the modern world. Where it will lead us. nobody knows.

They charged the Soviets with carry ing out large-scale subverse ac tivities. Hi is nestled in the Borok hora mountain range about 23 miles from the Soviet border. The Peking attack said Soviet actions have forced relations be tween Red China and Russia to "the brink of a split" and car ried differences in the internalion al Communist movement "to ; new stage of unprecedented gravity-" The Chinese accused the Rus sians of "lying" in their ideolo gical and political dispute, and said it was lime to set the record straight. They contended that Pe king had made concession after concession to Moscow in hopes of keeping the rift from widening Peking inferred that the "last straws" in Moscow's anti-Chinese campaign were the Kremlin's sign ing of the partial nuclear test ban treaty with the United States and Britain, and Soviet Premier Nikila Khrushchev's recent visit to Presi dent Tito of Yugoslavia. The attack, as broadcast in Eng-i lish by the New China News Agency, said Peking was not vy ing for leading of the Commu nist movement, and it accused1 Khrushchev of being "patriarchal. arbitrary and tyrannical. The Peking regime presented the detailed account of its side of tile quarrel in a massive ar tide in the Chinese Communist party newspaper, People's Daily and its theoretical journal, Red Flag. the article is the first of a series titled "The Origin and De velopment of Differences between Ourselves and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union." It is, in answer to a Soviet letter of July 14 in which Moscow claimed the Chinese reds were trying to split the world on racial lines and Cuba Claims U.S. Behind Bomb Aftack HAVANA (UPI) The Castro government charged today that two twin-engined planes escorted by two jets bombed a home in Santa Clara early Thursday, kill ing a government employe and wounding three of his four chil dren. An armed forces communique blamed the United States for the attack. "A repetition of this attack could cause serious incidents," the communique said. "The gov ernment of Cuba is not disposed to tolerate such acts of piracy against our people." (The planes presumably were flown by anti-Castro refugees perhaps from the bases in Cen tral America where they have been reported preparing for op erations against Fidel Castro's revolutionary regime. ) The armed forces ministry said the two planes which dropped the bombs presumably propeller driven craft, although the com munique did not say so specifical lywere detected over Santa Cla ra, capital of Las Villas Province in central Cuba, about 4 a.m., Thursday. . AM U A KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, set up a new world Communist headquarters in Peking. Reierring to the alleged border trouble, the article said Soviet personnel in the Hi region "en ticed and coerced several tens of thousands of Chinese citizens into going to the Soviet Union." It said Moscow has refused to return them despite many requests from Peking. Goidwater Idea Faces Rejection WASHINGTON UPI ' - Sen. Barry Goidwater, R-Ariz., dis closed today that he probably would vole against the nuclear lest ban treaty if his Cuban-missile reservation is rejected by the Senate. Goldwaler's reservation is giv en virtually no chance of adop tion. It calls for postponing the treaty's effectiveness until Rus sia removes its military base from Cuba. The proposal ran into bipartisan criticism on the Senate floor Thursday. Goidwater indicated his opposi tion course was now marked out, after weeks of apparent indeci sion. Asked if he would vote against the treaty if the reserva tion is turned down, the GOP presidential contender told United Press International: "I have just about reached that conclusion. I'd hope something would happen to change my mind. But 1 have so many reser vations about military disadvan tages and our failure to get some thing out of the treaty, that it's a fair assumption I'll be op posed." i The treaty picked up support todav when Sen. Gordon Allott. R-C'olo., announced in a prepared Senate speech that he would "vole reluctantly" to ratify the pact unless some new facts show it to be contrary to national safety. Allott said he felt to a degree that "this nation has been black jacked into a ratification of this treaty" but that failure to ap prove it "could destroy our al ready fast diminishing claim to the moral leadership of the world."

UPI Telephoto Freeman Urges Rejection Of Bill To Chop Canadian Softwood Sales WASHINGTON (UPI Agri culture Secretary Orville Freeman has urged Congress to reject a bill that would chop Canada's sales of softwood lumber to the United Stales by more than 25 per cent, a Washington congressman disclosed Thursday. Freeman, in a loiter to the House committee considering the bill said the proposed quotas could have "serious impact" on U.S.-Canadian relations. Rep. Jack Westland, R-Wash., said hi a House speech that the Freeman letter was another ex ample of "sympathy, but no ac tion" on the part of the Kennedy administration. The bill involved is a catch-all measure that would set quotas not only for lumber and other forestry products but also for dairy products and "any other agricultural commodity or pro duct" if a U.S. government farm program were hindered by im ports. The quota limit would be the average of 1955-60 imports. Rill One of Series The bill was one of a series of measures which would slash Can ada's softwood lumber exports lo the Unilcd Slates, estimated last, year at $280 million and sli Storms, Rain, Heat, Cold Plague Parts By I'nlled Press Inlernatinnal New England shivered, the northern Rockies sweltered and the rains continued in Dixie to dav.

The toughest proposal in the package would impose a quota of 6 per cent of U.S. con sumption, reducing Canada s slice of the market by nearly two thirds. Freeman, in his Aug. 27 letter to Hep Wilbur D. Mills, chair man ol t h e House Ways and Means Committee, said, "T h e (agriculture) department does not recommend passage of this legis lation." "The imposition of such quotas would have particularly serious impact on United Stales-Canadian trade and political relations, and would undoubtedly be strongly contested by Canada and other members of the general agree ment on tariffs and trade," Free man said. Cut 78 Per Cent He said the bill would cut U.S. softwood lumber imports from Canada to about 78 per cent of the 1962 level. It would cut ply wood imports to about 62 per cent of last year's level, he said. Westland called on the House to take early action to extend the life of a temporary measure passed last year which allowed U.S. lumber to be shipped to Puerto Itico in foreign vessels.

Wallace today threw a ring of state troopers around four Hu.lsville schools and turned away two Negroes and hundreds of white students, but promised not to interfere with the opening of classes Monday. The presence of the troopers around Hie schools angered par ents of the while students. They shouted angry protests at the troopers: "Go home where you belong." A group of students shot around Ihe line of troopers al one ele mentary school. "Here open as usual," the principal announced. Formal classes begin Monday. Early today Wallace, in a sur prise move, ordered 111 four school closed and tlw troopers!

At present, such coastal ship ments have to be carried by U.S. vessels, which charge higher rales than foreign ships. U.S. lumbermen say the higher trans portation costs have been a key factor in shrinking their share of the Last Coast walerborne lum ber market to 30 per cent. Hey, Boys, The Safe Is Empty If the burglars who broke into Novak Parts Supply Co., 2935 South Sixth Street, last night are still attempting to open the 400 pound safe Uiey removed from the establishment, they can stop try-! ing. There's nothing in it. John J. Novak, manager of the store, told Oregon State Police that the safe was to be used for storing valuable papers but it was still empty at the time of the theft In addition In the safe, the bur glars escaped witli several tach ometers and oil amp meters val ued at $45 and $50 in currency they removed from the cash regis ter. The burglars entered the store through a door Ihey forced open at the rear of the building.

The three priests included Thich Tri Qui,ng, who is reported to have masterminded ttie Buddhist Neutrals In Rail Arbitration WASHINGTON (UPD - Chair man Ralph T. Seward of the new railroad arbitration board said to day tie hoped to confer w ith La bor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz before scheduling hearings on two key issues in the rail rules dis pute. Seward and two other profes sional neutrals Benjamin Aar on and James J. Healy were picked Thursday by President Kennedy to serve on the special board under the first peacetime compulsory arbitration law. Joined by two representatives each from rail labor and manage ment, they will decide whether firemen are needed on diescl loco motives in yard or freight serv ice, and the proper size of train crews. Seward, a former member of the War Labor Board and now impartial umpire for Bethlehem Steel and the Steelworkers, said he Iliad no Jixed plans yet for the arbitration process. The law calls for the hoard to begin its consideration of the is sues within 30 days from Aug. 28 and issue a decision 60 days later. It will take effect in another 60 days. Wirtz arranged a meeting at p.m., EDT, today with repre sentatives of the carriers and five rail unions to discuss resumption of bargaining on so called secondary issues in the four-year-old dispute. On matters involving me pay Helicopters Will Rescue Tower Crew BOSTON (UPI I Five helicop ters left today to make an emer gency evacuation of 28 men from two Texas Towers battered by 15 foot waves and gale force winds in the storm-swept North Atlantic. Three Sea King helicopters were en route to plucK lb men from tower No. 2. The other two choppers were after 12 men on tower No. 3. The helicopters, from Quonscl Point (B. I.) Naval Air Station. could land on platforms on the towers or, if the weather is loo bad, they could hoist the men from the towers over a line as the helicopters hover above. I Officials said they were await ing a more up-lo-dale weather report before deciding where the helicopters would deposit the men. There was' the possibility the helicopters would return lo Quon- set, go to Cape Cod or land on any of three Coast Guard cutters which were on their way to the towers. The -round trip In tower No. 3 would take about two hours and the trip to and from tower No. 2 would take about four hours, officials said. The workers earlier reported they could withstand the pounding waves and high winds and would ride out the slorm. However, gale winds were reported with 13-foot waves. State Troopers Qtm Schao Slate troopers surrounded three elementary and one junior high school in Hunlsville about 8:30 a.m. EDT lo cnlorce the gover nor's order to postpone the open ing of classes until Monday. Four Negroes were scheduled to start classes today al Hunlsville where Ihe city school hoard had gone along w ith an earlier request by the governor to put off the opening until today while he made his moves at Tuskegee and Bir mingham. Hunlsville Mayor 11, B. Searcy said Ihe city planned In open its schools despita Wallace's latest order, similar to the one he used to close for on week a while school in Tuskegee which was on the verge of admitting 13 Negroes. Searcy acknowledged, however, i Up Priests protest movement against the government of President Ngoi Dmh Diem. The sources said the demand was made in a formal aide-mem oire from the Vietnamese Foreign Ollicc. U.S. Embassy representa tive William Truehart was sum moncd to the Foreign Office and handed the demand. Selected system, yard and road crew jur isdiction, runs between division crew - changing points and other issues, the law provides for re newed negotiations. The law, rushed through Con gress and signed by Kennedy hours before a threatened nation wide rail strike, makes no provi sion for a deadlock on the second ary issues. Wirlz, however, has said he is confident there will be an agree ment on the secondary items once the two big issues are re solved through arbitration. Seward said he hoped to see Wirtz and his chief aide on the RALPH T. SEWARD rail dispute, Assistant Labor Sec retary James J. Reynolds, some time today. " Tlie arbitration chairman said he iiad never been involved in a dispute involving railroads In their role as common carriers. He said he had arbitrated some cases involving rail operations within a steel plant, however. The other two members of the arbitration board also have had wide experience in the field of labor relations. Healy, professor of industrial relations at the Harvard Univer sity School of Business, has served as a presidential appointee in a number of disputes involving the maritime industry. U.S. Moves To Free Gl BERLIN (UPD-The United Stales plans lo take action on a high level in a new effort lo se cure the release of an Army de fector being held against his will in East Berlin, informed sources said today. The sources said the United States would ask the Russians for Capt. Alfred Svenson, 30, of Scranton, Pa., on Ihe grounds it has been shown clearly that he wants to return. They said the State Department either would send a note to the Soviet Union or that the U.S. Em bassy in Moscow would contact the Soviet Foreign Ministry. New details of Svenson s at tempts to escape were disclosed today. Svenson has been listed as a defector by the Army since he drove a jeep into East Germany May 4. that Ihe governor h.d the polfcr lo close schools by cxecutiv or der. "I just wish the governor hadn't sent the troopers in here," Searcy said. State troopers moved into Hunlsville and Mobile Thursday from Birmingham where Ne groes were to ask a federal court today to order the reopening of three desegregated schools closed following rioting that claimed one hie. Four schools, three elementaryl and one junior high, were to ad mit one Negro each al Hunlsville and two Negroes were to begin classes at Mobile's Murphy High School, Alabama's largest public school. School openings were scheduled for 8 a.m. c J) There was no immediate indica tion whether the UniW States would hand over the three priests. Quang somehow managed to es cape arrest when government troops and police stormed and sacked the city's main Xa Loi pa goda in the pre-dawn hours of Aug. 21, in a massive crackdown on the Buddhist protest move ment. : Last Tuesday, embassy officials refused to grant refuge to another young Buddhist priest because they said he was not a Buddhist leader and clearly was not in danger. At the time, a source said tlie embassy had made it a policy now to shelter only Bud dhist leaders who might be in danger. The other two priests who took refuge in the embassy with him . were Le Mai Chi and Tran Van Nham, neither of whom was con sidered a key figure In the Bud dhist movement. The sources said the aide mem- oire specifically named the three priests and said they were want ed for investigation. The sources said tins was the rst time the Vietnamese govern ment formally had demanded that the embassy hand over the priests. Earlier, diplomatic sources said Uie United States now is resigned to working with tlie present gov ernment here and is searching tor areas of mint cooperation to save the country from Communist control. According to these sources, the United States has abandoned for the time being its attempts to get rid ol Ngo Dinh Nhu, (President Ngo Dinh Diem's brother and chief political adviser, who is be lieved wielding the real power now. Nhu, who heads tlie secret po lice and youth movement, is said to have engineered tlie govern ment's recent crackdown on Bud dhistsan action which brought the government into dispute with Washington. His beautiful wife, Mme. Nhu, has scoffed at Bud dhist opposition and has accused Buddhist leaders of playing into Communist hands. Masked Trio Nabs Family, Robs Bank TROY, Idaho (UPD-The First Bank of Troy was robbed of an estimated $40,000 to $50,000 today by three masked men who held the bank president captive all night. The men escaped after wailing in the bank in this little Latah County town eight miles east of Moscow from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. for tlie time clock to open the vault. Mrs. Frank O. Brocke, wife of the bank president, said the men came to their home about 11 p.m. after the family was In bed. She said the robbers handcuffed her, her husband and their son, Bob, 15, and then slept ' fairly well" until 4 a.m. Then they left Bob handcuffed to a bed down stairs while two of the men took Brocke to the bank. As employes began arriving about B a.m. they were locked up, along with Brocke. When the time clock opened the vault just before 9 a.m. the robbers carried out sacks of currency.
