President Kennedy KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1963 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 7581 calls on the communist world to BURY THE COLD WAR and en gage the West in a contest of achievement instead of a contest of intimidation. Speaking before the 18lh Gen eral Assembly of U.N.. he said he welcomes such a contest be-, tween "those who envision a monolithic world and those who believe in diversity." He outlined the areas where the; Soviet Union and the United States, together with their allies, could achieve further agreements agreements which spring from our mutual interest in AVOIDING MUTUAL DESTRUCTION. In the field of space, he said. where the United Stales and Rus sia have a special capacity, there' is room for new cooperation- including the possibility of JOINT EXPEDITION to the moon. Pointing to the fact that by reso lution of the U.N. General As sembly member nations had fore sworn any claims to territorial rights in outer space, he asked rhetorically WHY MAN'S FIRST FLIGHT TO THE MOON SHOULD BE A MATTER OF COMPETITION. "Surely," he said, "we should explore whether the scientists and astronauts of our two coun triesindeed, of ALL the world can not WORK TOGETHER for the conquest of space sending to the moon, some day in this de cade NOT the representative of a SINGLE nation, but the repre sentatives of all humanity." Our President told the hushed assembly that for the first time in 17 years of effort a specific step has been taken to limit the nuclear arms race. He said: "I refer, of course, to the treaty to ban nuclear tests in the at mosphere, in outer space and un der water, concluded by the So viet Union and the United States' and already signed by nearly 100 countries." Meanwhile At the relatively tiny steel and glass international enclave on the banks of the Hudson river in New York City where the representa- tivcs of NATIONS can meet with no guns in their hip pockets Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko proposed yesterday that an 18-nation summit conference on disarmament be held before June 30 of next year. His proposal was made in a ma jor speech delivered to the U.N. General Assembly. It was mild in tone and devoid of cold war language. He offered Moscow as a site for such a meeting. The corres pondents report that his speech was generally mild in compari son, with Soviet declarations, and add that he stressed repeatedly what he called the "changed in ternational climate." Grim question: Is Russia's latest proposal an other Trojan Horse? It could be. The word of a communist is subject to many reservations. But The world of today has reached a grim stage. Two nations pos sess the power to DESTROY THE WORLD. Their power is so nearly equal that if one nation starts it the other will have sufficient RETALIATORY power to DE STROY THE AGGRESSOR. And- Probably The rest of the world at the fame time. What does it all mean? It means that it's high time to begin to consider, seriously and honestly, ways to keep the peace; Red Carpet Treatment Set For Rocky SALEM (UPI ' Plans to antee a massive turnout for New Sportsmen!

Ho So hM Mini E Anti-Spending Move Sains Favor GOP Plans To Answer TV Appeal WASHINGTON UPI Con servative Southern Democrats were reported today swinging to support of a proposed Republican anli-spending amendment to Pres ident Kennedy's $11 billion tax cut bill. Rep. Omar Burleson. D-Tex. chairman of an informal associa tion of Southern congressmen, said neither he nor other mem bers of the group were satisfied with Kennedy's economy pledges Other Southern sources confirmed this report. i he amendment s sponsor, Rep. John W. Byrnes, R-Wis prepared to make an "equal time" radio and television broad cast tonight to reply to Kenne dy's tax cut appeal and to de fend the GOP economy plan. Byrnes was expected to argue that taxes should not be reduced in the face of continued govern ment deficits unless Congress acts at the same time to block further increases in spending. Kennedy, in a broadcast to the nation Wednesday, pledged that waste and inefficiency in govern ment would not be tolerated but he urged Congress not to tie to the tax cut "ruinous amend ments" that might delay or im-i pede its beneficial effect on the economy. The tax cut comes up for House action next week. It would trim both corporate and personal taxes, with the first phase of a two-part reduction set to take ef-. feet on Jan. I. . Byrnes, top Republican member of the Ways & Means Committee which recommended the bill on a split vote, will ask the House to make the cut con tingent on two specific economy steps. First, Kennedy would have to submit to Congress in January a revised budget for the rest of the current bookkeeping year which ends June 30, projecting total out lays of not more than $97 billion. This is about $1 billion less than the spending now planned. Second, the President in pro jecting spending for the fiscal year which starts July 1 would have to propose a budget of not more than $98 billion. This, too. is less than is now considered likely.

USAF photo Treaty Opponents WASHINGTON (UPI) - The an nounced opposition to the nuclear test ban treaty climbed to 15 in the Senate today when Sen. Len B.

Malaysia (UPIl Prime Minister Tengku Abdul Rahman today welcomed Japan's offer to act as mediator in the crisis between the new na tion of Malaysia and neighboring Indonesia. Japanese Premier Hayalo Ike- da said Thursday he would like to bring about an amicable set tlement of the dispute over Ma laysia's formation, which led to a diplomatic break and riots in both Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. This move, as reported, is good." Rahman said. "We'll give consideration to it should Japan make a formal move." Rahman scheduled nationwide radio broadcasts tonight to tell Malaysia's 10 million people of developments in the crisis. He was expected to explain the "state of preparedness" ordered Wednesday, which called up re serves, strengthened the armed forces, and put civil defense measures into effect. Rahman also called the first meeting of the Malaysian defense council, made up of leading cab Rockefeller boosters from sever al Northwest states reportedly at tended the session. Montgomery said "I know Wil son will do some work. I under stand he is working closely with the Rockefeller forces." W hen asked by United Press In ternational what plans were draft ed at the meeting, Wilson said "I'm in no position to tell what happened in Boise." Wilson did reveal plans to pro vide free bus rides from Portland "for college students and others." He said buses would arrive in time for Rockefeller's speech. Assert If special buses were plan ned for Goldwater's appearance. he said "we aren't going to shuttle buses back and forth all day." Wilson said he was coordinator for a group headed by Martha Kate and Rob Ridgley. both of Portland, w ho went heading an in- sition primarily on lack of a "full inspection" provision to guard against Soviet cheating.

Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz, front-running but unannounced GOP presidential contender, hit new peak in the treaty debate Thursday. He told the Senate that if his vote against the pact meant "political suicide." he would 'commit it gladly." Goldwater said he felt the treaty was "detrimental to the strength of my country." He has proposed a reservation that would condition the treaty upon removal of all Russian military forces from Cuba. The proposal faces defeat. Solon Urges Full Power For Lodge WASHINGTON (UPli - Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mans field told the Senate today that Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge must be given "overall direction and control" of all U. S. opera Hons in South Viet Nam lo end an "ugly inadequacy" of present ad ministration. The Montana Democrat said that Lodge is the "only man" who should speak for the American contingent in Saigon with their "paramount authority." Mansfield said he was disturbed hy news reports suggesting that the former United Nations am bassador and ex-senator is "not securing" the cooperation to which he is entitled. "Mav I say that it Is not his function lo beg that cooperation." he declared. "It is his authority lo require it in the name of the President of the I'niled Slates." Mansfield said that unless the more than 13.000 Americans now in Viet Nam function "as a unit" in prompt response tn polii y modi fications that may be laid down by President Kennedy and Secre tary of State Dean Rusk "we will suffer the gravest consequences in Vict Nam." Mansfield said it is obvious we cannot control the behavior of thel Vietnamese government" and ad ded: "But if we cannot control our own official behavior, if we can not insure that the man who bears I the responsibilities on-the-spot will have the prompt and full support of all others involved if bureau cratic inertia or reticences or whatever tie his hands, we arc fact tn face with a daater in Viet Nam." JFK Challenges Soviet To Achievement Race UNITED NATIONS, N. Y I UPI ) President Kennedy invitied Russians to share an expedition to the moon today in a speech before the U, N. General Assem bly. Russian delegates seemed de lighted. The Chief Executive who occu pied the rostrum for 28 minutes challenged the Soviet Union to abandon the cold war (or a "con test of achievement." He made a bid for joint ventures in the ex pensive conquest of space and accepted a Russian proposal to ne gotiate a ban of nuclear weapons on spacecraft. Soviet Foreign .Minister Andrei Gromyko termed Kennedy's speech "very good" and "con ciliatory," and permanent Soviet U. N. delegate Nikolai T. Federen ko described it as "excellent." Kennedy mingled with a cluster of smiling Russian delegates aft er the speech for an amiable ex change of conversation. General reaction to the Chief Executive's address to the new 18th General Assembly was en thusiastic. Sir Patrick Dean of Britain said it was "moving and inspiring and Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan of Pakistan de- cribed it as "a real leadership speech." A standing room - only crowd heard Kennedy question the wis dom of making man's first flight to the moon "a matter of nation al competition" in view of the waiver of claims to territorial rights in outer space made by all members of the United Nations. Speaking before the 18th Gen eral Assembly of the United Na tions which opened here Tuesday Kennedy said he welcomed such1 a contest "between those who en vision a monolithic world and those who believe In diversity .For we believe, said the Presl- Ident, "that truth is stronger than error and that freedom is more enduring than coercion. And the contest for a better life, all the world can be the winner. Kennedy specifically outlined the areas where the Soviet Union and the United States, together with their allies could achieve further agreements, "agreements which spring from our mutual in terest in avoiding mutual destruc tion." Seeks Space Cooperation Referring to a speech made to the General Assembly Thursday by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko in which the Russian proposed an agreement with the United Stales to bar nuclear weapons from spacecraft, Ken nedy urged that negotiators go back to the negotiating table to work nut practicable arrange ments to this end. In the field of space, Kennedy said, w here the United States and Russia have a special capacity, there is room for new coopera tion including the possibility of a joint expedition to the moon. Pointing to the fact that by res olution of the U.N. assembly member nations had foresworn any claims to territorial rights in outer space. Kennedy asked rhe torically why man's first flight to the moon should be a matter of national competition. "Why," Kennedy asked, "should the United States and live Soviet Union, in preparing for such ex- peditions, become involved in im mense duplications of research construction and expenditure? "Surely we should explore whether the scientists and astro nauts of our two countries indeed of all the world cannot work to gether In the conquest of space sending some day in this decade to the moon, not Die representa live of a single nation, but the representatives of all humanity.' Other Agreements Sought Kennedy also said we must con tinue to seek agreements: On measures to prevent war by accident or miscalculation. On safeguards against sur prise attack, including observe lion posts at key points. On further measures tn curb the nuclear arms race, by con trolling the transfer of nuclear weapons, converting fissionable materials to peaceful purposes and banning underground testing with adequate Inspection and en forcement. On a freer flow of informa tion and people from East to West and West tn bast. Kennedy emphasized, however that although these and other new steps toward peaceful cooperation may be possible, most of them would require full consultation with this country's allies, "for their Interest am as much In volved i eur own, and we will I12j never make an agreement their expense. He added that any such agree ments would require long and careful negotiations and a new ap proach to the cold war "a desire not to 'bury' one's adversary but to compete in a host of peaceful! arenas, in ideas, in production, and in service to all humanity." The President told tha hushed assembly that for the first time in 17 years of effort, a specific step had been taken to limit the nuclear arms race. "I refer of course," Kennedy said, "to the treaty to ban nu clear tests in the atmosphere, out er space and under water con-; eluded by the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States and already signed by nearly a hundred countries, lt has been hailed by people the world over who are thankful to be free from the fears of nuclear fallout, and I am confident that on next Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock, it will receive the overwhelming endorsement of the Senate of the United States." Kennedy warned, however, that sspite the pause we may have reached in the cold war, "the long shadows of conflict and cris is envelop us still." Basic Differences He spelled out some of the bas ic differences between the United States and the Soviet Union which he said cannot be con cealed. A basic difference he said is the belief of the American people in self determination for all peo ples. We believe that the people of Germany and Berlin must be tree to reunite their capital and their country. "We believe that the people of Cuba must.Jje' free tn secure the fruits of the revolution that has been so falsely betrayed from wiuiin and exploited from with out. ' In short, ' we believe that in all the world in Eastern Europe as wen as Western, In southern Africa as well as northern, in old nations as Well as new people must be dree to choose their own future, without discrimination or dictation, and without coercion or subversion." So long as these differences ex ist, Kennedy said, they set lim- ts lo agreements and "they for bid the relaxation of vigilance. Our defenses around the world will be maintained for the protec tion of freedom and our deter mination to safeguard that free dom will measure up to any threat or challenge." Attacks Discrimination The President struck out at discrimination and persecution everywhere in the world and re minded the assembly members they were committed by the charter of the United Nations to promote . and respect human rights. cry -v- Jin " -' iOU ' ' t 1 '.

(UPI)- About 1,500 homes nestled behind a flood-imperiled levee appeared safe today. Emergency sandbag crews were on standby alert. Civil defense officials at Port Arthur said it appeared the battle against tlie flood triggered by the now-dead Hurricane Cindy would be won, although caution was nec essary at least through today. "It looks like we've got it whipped now," civil defense di rector John Odcn said today. "The water dropped two and one half inches overnight. The water will drop lower with the outward movement of the tide." Oden said there was still three feet of water on the high side of the eight-foot high levee. He said that water would have to drain off before the danger was over completely. Nearly 4.000 persons were homeless. Damage in two south east Texas counties was esti mated at $10 million. There were no deaths because of the burra- CaUie.
