(AP)--United States Secretary of State Christian A. Herter told the American republics today that a solution of troubles in the Caribbean lies in "peace and freedom and progress." The secretary of state spoke at the opening session of the 21 ministers of the Organization of American States who had been summoned to deal with the invasions and rumors of invasions in the Caribbean. Speaking in behalf of the ministers who had been welcomed by Chilean President Jorge Alessandri, Herter said he thought the issues here were "more capable of early solution" than those dealt with at the big four for. eign ministers conference in Geneva. Herter recently returned from Geneva where the problems of Berlin and Germany- were taken up by the United States, Britain, France and Soviet Russia.

No agreement was reached there after 10 weeks. Many of the delegates here were seeking to organize a drive to enforce human rights in the western hemisphere. In welcoming the delegates, Alessandr1 urged that they seek peaceful settlements, and declared It was Imperative that peace, freedom and Jaw prevail In the hemisphere. Keen interest in the human rights issue was demonstrated last night when El Salvador's Alfredo Ortiz Mancia circulated a proposal for creation of an inter-American commission of human rights. It would be set up by the council of the Organization of American States (OAS).

The proposal also asks the inter-American council of jurists to prepare a study of fulfillment of the principles of human rights and representative democracy in the Caribbean. Carlos Tovar of Ecuador was readying a separate project calling on the jurists to draw up an inter-American treaty guaranteeing human rights that would bind the members to observe its provisions. The declaration now in effect has no binding force. The general argument here is that if human rights and representative democracy can be encouraged, tensions resulting from the presence of dictatorships will tend to disappear. BUFFALO, N.

Aug. 12. (AP)--FBI agents knocked on the door of a motel early today. A man opened it and the agents caught one of their 10 most wanted men in the shower. They arrested James Francis Jenkins, 38, a bank robbery suspect who had chopped his way out of a cell in a Philadelphia jail last April 30 with a screwdriver.

Jenkins had been awaiting trial on bank robbery charges. He was indicted for taking part in the $17,730 holdup of a Broomall, bank on March 4. The FBI agents who made the arrest would not reveal how they were led to Jenkins. But tips from several citizens In Buffalo played a major role, Assistant Special Agent Karl Brouse said. He would not elaborate.

The agents used a pretext to gain entrance to the motel room, they said. Again, they would not say what the pretext was. When they got inside, Jenkins was in the shower. Another man, Henry Kiter 27, of the Philadelphia area, had been watching television. Neither Jenkins nor Kiter put up a fight.

They were not armed but a sawed-off shotgun was found in their car near the motel, the agents said. Police Chief Gene Smith and 20 policemen met the flag-waving, chanting men, women and children at an intersection near Central, scheduled to be opened to integration at 1 p. m. with one Negro. Smith ordered the crowd to disperse.

The crowd jeered and some yelled: "You cowards." Police began swinging billy clubs. Six of the segregationists, all men, were pushed into a patrol wagon. 12.

Heap of Wheat Wheat from the 1959 harvest is piled on the ground outside a full Columbia river grain terminal near Burbank, Wash.

About 100,000 bushels are in this mound. Terminal officials blame congestion at Lower Columbia ports for the surplus of unshipped wheat at Burbank. (Stan White photo.) middle-ground Loot List Control Measures Urged to Stem Return of Aphis The marchers had been chant- ing "246-8, we don't want to NA integrate." It was one of the battle cries segregationists had used in 1957. Integration was enforced at Central that year by federal troops, but last fall Faubus closed all high schools to stop integration. Smith warned the crowd to break up before he ordered his police task force into action.

He called on firemen, too, to spray the crowd with water from a truck which had been parked at an intersection. The marchers were led by a sound truck, playing "Dixie." Heading the parade were five men marching abreast and car! rying American and confederate flags. Scuffle Is Short The scuffle lasted six or eight minutes. The worst was over in four minutes. The street was cleared but small greups reformed on the sidewalk.

"It's the worst I've seen In my 19 years here," County Agricultural Agent Herman D. Kruiswyk said today. The infestations cause that messy, sticky drip that falls from leaves Onto sidewalks, cars and anything else that is left beneath trees. The little pests suck the sap out of the leaves and then secrete a sticky substance called "honeydew" that drips off onto the ground. Besides the drip, the insects damage or destroy the foliage.

They attack elm, locust, maple, flowering hawthorn, lilac and even pine trees, as well as many shrubs. About the only tree they don't attack Is horse chestnut, be said.

Grave Controversy Gertrude Bower Resigns Bonner School Position The weatherman today held out little hope for relief in the Inland Empire's fire-ravaged forests or for housewives burdened with a surplus of burnables from a prolonged outdoor burning ban.

"I'm giving you this one chance to get out of the way," Smith shouted. Then he had the water sprayed.

It was not turned on full force, but it was enough to douse some of the marchers. Several teenage boys, holding American flags, stood their ground while firemen soaked them. On another corner of the crowd a small, elderly woman turned her back to the fire truck and calmly folded her arms as it showered her. "Get them," someone in the crowded shouted. "Get Gene, Smith!" There was a sudden surge toward the policemen but they stood their ground.

Some of the arrested men resisted vigorously. There was one man with a bloody head. The crowd slowly withdrew. A block from the school it began to Remember? It was partly cloudy, but no precipitation fell in Spokane a year ago today. Temperatures ranged between 63 and 87 degrees.

DENVER, Aug. 12. (AP) Carl Hough, 58, an escaped murderer, asked the Denver district court today to send him back to prison in Iowa. "Things on the outside are too hectic," he said. Hough will be turned over to Iowa prison officers.

He escaped from a prison honor farm at Fort Madison July 26. Hough was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1924 for kill. ing his sweetheart.

Thundershowers, with lightning stabbing at tinder-dry forest lands, are likely tonight, he said. Light rain which fell in an area from Spokane to Pendleton and then moved eastward into the mountains probably would not reduce fire danger ratings, he said, because of the lightning threat. For Spokane, last night's rainfall of .09 of an inch at Geiger and .07 downtown ended a 37-day drought. The last measurable precipitation here was .02 inch on July 5 and the last considerable rainfall, of .30 inch, fell here on June 9. MANCHESTER, Aug.
