noon or later. Mrs. Crosson

breakfast when we got the
word that everybode was to
meet at the Kelch place as it
was best suited for defense,

clear view in all directions.
While Mrs. Crosson got the
baby ready, l hitched up the
team and with what guns and
ammunition we had on hand,
we hurried to the meeting
place, being almost the last
ones to arrive. When we got
there, we found a very, very
grim group. The men and the
older boys were busy at a
campfire, melting lead, mold
ing bullets and loading cart
ridges, while others at the
grind stone were sharpening
knives and axes; altogether,
they appeared ready chad the
need arisen) to give a good
account of themselves.
Lookouts were posted and

gotten within a mile of the
place without being spotted.
It had been estimated that
if the Indians did arrive, it
would be sometime between
mid-morning and noon; as
that time approached, the
men took their places behind

and waited >. waited; still no

Sees 7-year
Goal in Sight

MOSCOW, Feb. IL (AP)-
Premier Khrushchev said in a
speech published today the So
Wet Union will carry out its
1859 . 1865 seven year plan
ahead Of time. But 1870 re-
mains his target date for out
stripping the United States m
industrial output.
The Soviet leader addressed
farm experts of trans-Ca Caucasian
republics Tuesday at Tifls.
Georgia. The government
newspaper Izvestia made the
speech public. spreading his
words across 21z pages. :
Goals Fulfilled
Goals Of the seven-year plan
are being effectively fulfilled,
Mr.. Khrushchev said, and the
plans for overall output, pro-
ductivity gains and for the re-
duction of production costs are
being overfulfilled. :.
"All this makes it possible to
accumulate vast resources over
and above the plan." he said.
Mr.. KhruShchev reiterated
that, with consumer goods tar
gets achieved by the end Of
the seven-year plan. the Soviet
Union will match the per cap
ita output level Of the most
highly developed nations OF
Western Europe. =
He said-as he did when the
plan was adopted in 1852
that this nation will overtakk
and surpass the United Staes
in industrial production in 1870.
Threatens No One
I'VE do not threaten any,
one" he said. g. The social
system Of the United States
Is a matter for the American
people. Our successes and
growth do not harm other peo-
pies"
He added, however, that
only when socialism (commu-
nism) replaces the capitalist
system will "antagoniStic diff
ferences inherent in the very
nature Of capitalism" be elm
mated. @
The Premier paid a compile
ment to Joseph Stain. whose
works he denounced at the Goth
Communist Party Congress In
February, 1856.

plause Of his audience, men,

u. S.-Mexro
Talks Called
Encouraging

MEXICO CITY. Feb. IL
(AP).-United States Congress-
men headed by Senate ma
jority Leader Mike Mansfield
Of Montana conferred with
President Adolfo Lopez Mateos
and Foreign Minister Manuel
Tello yesterday after their in
ter-parliamentary meeting with
Mexican legislators. The talks
were reported brief but cordial.
Senator Mansfield told q
news conference the Inter-
parliamentary Congress had
accomplished far more than
he had expected.
"You may rest assured that
President Kennedy and Con-
lgress will give more attention
Ito the house Of the Americas
in the weeks and months
ahead" he said.
Senator Mansfield and Rep
resentative Saund. Democrat
of California, answered ques-
tions for more than an hour.
Predicts Improvement
Predicting better relations
with Latin America, Senator
Mansfield said:
"The United States does not
want to be in front all the
time. nor bring UP the rear.
But we want to be in the ranks
on an equal basis with all Of
our friends in this hemi-
sphere.
He also said that the Amer
icaS must work together for
progress in economic. industrial
and social fields and not de-
pend on the United States
alone.
Senator Mansfield said an
international agreement on
metals - something like the
United StateS-M Mexico sugar and
coffee agreements-might be Of
benefit and would receive
United States sympathy.
Senator Mansfield urged the
Mexican government to clarity
its laws on foreign investments.
He said they were so vague now
that many United States in
dustries and financiers do not
know where they stand.
Culture Plan Stressed
The present cultural ex-
change program is so skinny
/ it surprised him, he said. He
recommended improvement and
expansion.
Representative Saund was
asked about the bracero Mex
ican migrant laborer) problem.
He said:
THE Mexicans are correct
in some of the complaints, but
on the whole Mexican farm
workers in the States receive
even better treatment than do
American farmhands.
There are bound to be
abuses when 100000 Mexican
workers 60 to the United States

where. But they are minor
abuses. and are being rem
