Denver headquarters of the In ternational Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers (Ind) an nounced its Wage Policy Commit tee has authorized union officials to call a strike Friday if they so elect Meanwhile, negotiations between union officials and representatives of the "Big Four" copper produc ing companies continued. The union said its officials will decide whether any contracts should be extended beyond the Fri day deadline.

Formosa Wi A Na tionalist Chinese clamor to bomb Communist air bases along the mainland coast developed here Wednesday.

Presumably it was from the newest and biggest of these bases that the Reds launched attacks bv Sov'ct-built MIGs on Monday. The MIGs shot down a Nationalist jet plane and damaged a civilian flying boat. The Hsin Sheng Pao, mouthpiece of the Formosa provincial govern ment, urged the Nationalist md American air forces to "desirov the enemy's seaboard air bases." Several papers said Mondav's attack signaled a possibly early invasion of the offshore islands. The Central Daily News said pre parations for the invasion were about completed. Attacks took place near Malsii, the northernmost of the islands lying close to the Red China coast.

'Kiss Me Kate' Is Crowd Pleaser; Gordon Howard's Performance Outstanding By LAURA OLSON Staff Writer, Ntwi-Riview Roseburg likes "Kiss Me Kate." More than 500 persons watched a vibrant troupe of University of Oregon players -"belt out" a laud able version of the Spewack-Port-er musical comedy Tuesday night. It was the biggest crowd yet to view a Kiwanis Summer Theater production. Playing on a stage smaller than they were used to (even though Central Junior High School's au ditorium stage was extended by several feet), the young and Happy students genuinely wowed their audience. Gordon Howard of Tenmile was the real star of the show. The young man with the cannon voice led his fellow players with skill and understanding. The exacting singing-speaking performance re quired of Howard in the nearly three-hour production was carried out with seemingly tireless effort. The' "Kiss Me Kate" plot con cerns a play within a play and tells the story of a troupe of per formers who are presenting a mu sical version of William Shake spear's "Taming of the Shrew." In a plot complicated to explain, but simple to view, Howard (as director Fred Graham and Pet ruchio in the "Shrew") tames the fiery Kate and rewins his former wife Lilli Vanessi (both played by Mary Lou Teague, Miss Oregon of 1952). Through this lively plot stroll singers, dancers, - diplomats and two of the most charming gang sters ever created. Billed only as First Man and Second Man, Tom Gaines and Bob Chambers literally walked into the hearts of their audience. Gaines was major spokesmen for the two who sought to collect an erroneous gambling debt from Howard. With deft humor Cole Porter has placed them in his play and also smuggled the two into Shakespeare. They are welcome additions and their "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" was Rose burg's favorite number last eve ning, w FaMi nf tho 97 Tin nlavoro AX serves mention. But special note must go to lively Gloria Lee cast as Lois Lane-Bianca who earlier this year won the UO award as "best supporting actress" for her performance. Miss Lee appeared Adrian Fisher's Condition Reported As Still Poor Although ' Adrian Fisher, 52, Roseburg, does not have polio, he is still considered in poor condi tion as the result, of lead poisoning, according to his wife. She said this week he was re acting well to ireatment but that blood was badly needed for trans fusion. Anyone visning m?y give blood for his treatment. He has already received eight trans fusions, she said, and he will need more. Mrs. Fisher said her husband was "completely rational" Mon day for the first time since he was stricken. He is being treated with a new type of medicine which was flown from Portland at Sa cred Heart Hospital in Eugene. Since his attack, jaundice has also set in, Mn. Fisher reported. Inasmuch as the Sacred Heart Hospital is not a part of the Red Cross blood program, the local Red Cross cannot recruit blood for Fisher reports Mrs. Walter Brit tell, RC crecruitment chairman. She said, however, the bloodmo bile can help replace some of that blood from the hospital's bank when the bloodmobile is here. The bloodmobile will be here in August. before local audiences last year in "The Moon Is Blue." Dancing and choregraphy for "Kate" were direoted by her and John Jensen. The dancers would have done credit to any production. Four principals: Cindy - Randall, Cherrie Cheney, Earle Culberton and Dick James were standouts. Miss Randall is a Roseburg girl.' James is a star Oregon halfback during football season. The entire production was di rected by Horace W. Robinson. A 10-piece orchestra directed by R. G. Cunningham provided good mu sical accompaniement Two Caiifornians, Guide Drowned EUGENE IM Bodies of a Cali ."ornia fisherman and a veteran i river guide were taken from the Mch-enzi River 40 miles east of here Tuesday and a second Cali fornian's body was sought. Search was organized when the three, who were to have docked about 5 pm. Monday, failed to appear. Shortly after dawn Tuesday the bodies of Milo Thompson, about 64-a long-time guide and Aram Adams, 48, Bakersfield, Calif., were taken from the water about two miles below Blue River. Still sought was their fishing companion, Earl Smith, 62, Sacra mento. State police reported they went out at 8 a. m. Monday for a day nf fishing.
