'Leap forward'
by some sfeps
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
Foreign Agriculture Service has
noted signs that Red China's 1958
boast of a "great leap forward
in agriculture" has been followed
by some quiet steps backward.
FAS said Red China's agricul
ture is being somewhat decentral
ized, the rigors of the commune
system eased, and the emphasis
in government investment shifted
toward agriculture and light in
dustry after a long attempt to de
velop heavy industry.
Two Important facts broke
through China's blackout on econ
omic information last year, FAS
said. First, China made large
cash purchases of food grains
from Australia and Canada. Sec
ond, it arranged for credit to cov
er further shipments during the
current fiscal year.
This spring, some of these food
bills are coming due. And the
word has gone around, according
to FAS, that the Chinese are anx
ious not only to complete deliver
ies under earlier deals but to
make new food agreements with
Free World countries.
The grain shipments, plus the
nature of payment procedures.
are evidence as to the urgency of
China's food needs and the state
of its agriculture, according to
FAS.
From Australia, last year China
bought for cash 43 million bush
els of wheat, 17 million bushels
of barley, and 4 million bushels of
oats all apparently for ship
ment between January and June.
This fiscal year (through October)
Australia has shipped China 31
million bushels of wheat on cred
it 10 per cent down, 40 por cent
In six months, and the rest 12
months after final shipment.
From Canada, China's cash pur
chases last fiscal year were 28
million bushels of wheat and 12
million bushels of barley, shipped
between January and June. This
Plans announced

ALBANY (UPI) - The Linn
County Court is moving as fast
as possible toward construction of
a new bridge over the South San
tiam River at Lebanon, County
Judge Ray Maddy has announced.
Maddy said the court hoed to
let contracts in about five months.
The 30-fnnt wide span will cost
about $597,000.
The present bridge at the east
end of Grant Street carries traf

Waterloo, and Berlin.

is followed
backward
fiscal year China received a
further 28 million bushels of
wheat and 17 million bushels of
barley on credit 25 per cent
down and the rest in nine months.
FAS said the Chinese Commu
nists have issued no crop
statistics since 1959. But for three
years in a row they have com
plained of bad harvests, caused
by natural calamities. These com
plaints are underscored by the in
creasing severity of rationing
since 1958.
FAS analysts reason that food
problems in Red China will be
severe this year and probably for
several years to come.
Chamber aircade
due in Portland
on Wednesday
PORTLAND (UPD More than
1,000 Oregon and Washington busi
nessmen are expected to be here
Wednesday for the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce "Aircade of Citizen
ship Action."
President Richard Wagner will
lead the aircade into Portland
Tuesday night after a day in San
Francisco.
Topics scheduled for discussion
are education, labor, compulsory
health care, tax reform, farm leg
islation, and trade legislation. The
latter includes suggestions for
helping the Northwest lumber in
dustry. An afternoon session at the
Sheraton-Portland Hotel will be
devoted to ways in which individu
als can become more active and
effective in public affairs.
Annual OEA
convention set
PORTLAND (UPD - The 59th
annual Oregon Education Associ
ation convention will begin here
Thursday.
The convention will run through
Saturday.
About 7.O0O educators are ex

which is scheduled for the Memo
rial Coliseum.
Dr. Arthur S. Flcmming, presi

Anfi-radar
chaff sowed
by Soviets
GENEVA (UPD-Western offi
cials said today they believed
Soviet harassment of the Berlin
air corridors is aimed at fright
ening people away from Berlin
and disrupting commerce.
The full effect of the weekend
Soviet sowing of chaff to blind
raaar on western planes over
East Germany will be seen only
in a few days, officials felt. But
up to this point, Soviet harass
ment has had little or no effect,
they added.
West Berlin traffic chief Hans
Georg Urban reported recently
that the number of persons who
flew into West Berlin in February
was 18.2 per cent greater than
in February, 1961.
Cites 1.6 Million Figure
During the whole of 1961, he
said, 1.6 million persons landed
or took off from West Berlin's
two commercial airfields, and 10
million tons of goods were trans
ported to and from the city.
The last time East and West
had a conference here on Berlin
Western Allied officials in that
city had the run of the place.
Now, they are cut off from one
half the city and Berliners them
selves are separated by a wall
the Communists built seven
months ago tonight.
Hole In Wall
American, British and French
officials still cross into East Ber
lin from time to time. But they
do so through only one hole in
the wall, on the Fnednchstrasse.
Berliners cannot use even that
hole in the wall.
When East and West last took
up positions here, in 1959, for a
foreign ministers conference on
Berlin, the United States, Britain
and France put forward a plan
which called for the continued
assurance of free access to West
Berlin by land, water and air.
The Westerners also proposed
that freedom of movement . . .
will continue to be maintained
between East and West Berlin."
When the wall went up seven
months ago, that part of the
dialogue was chopped off.
Mrs. Kennedy,
Pope find much
to talk about
ROME (UPI) Although nearly
half a century separates them in
age. Pope John XXIII and Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy found a lot
to talk about Sunday.
President Kennedy's 32-year-old
wife spent a half hour in conver
sation with the 80-year-old pontiff
in one of the longest private
audiences he has granted.
Since both speak fluent French,
no interpreters were needed and
they spent the time alone in the
Vatican private library.
Vatican sources said afterward
that Mrs. Kennedy told them the
Pope had put her "very much at
ease during ine audience.
Mrs. Kennedy was a classic
and beautiful figure in a black,
floor-length ottoman dress with
straight neckline for her Vatican
visit. She wore a Spanisn lace
mantilla on her head and little
or no makeup.
She is a Roman Catholic, as is
her husband, and she knelt and
kissed the Pope's ring twice. The
ceremony is a traditional courtesy
for Catholics, be they queens,
housewives or wives of presidents.

3 professors'
rooms searched
SAIGON (UPI) South Vietna
mese authorities had no official
comment today on the reason why
21 police made a predawn search
of the apartments of three Ameri
can professors.
Preliminary reports Indicated
nothing was removed from the
apartments and the teachers were
not bothered by the 20 plain-
clothesmen and one uniformed
officer.
The professors, teaching at the
University of Saigon under the
Smith-Mune Bill were not avail
able for comment.
They were identified as Francis
Durham, formerly of the Citadel;
Stanley Millent, formerly of Briar
cliff; and Katherine Carmichael,
whose U.S. affiliation was not
known.
Meanwhile, reliable sources said
South Vietnamese air force fight
ers killed 80 Communist Viet
Cong guerrillas in an air strike
at Vinh Bmh province 125 miles
south of here.
The report said two Viet Cong
companies which intended to
attack the district town of Cau
Ngan were taken by surprise in
the attack. A cache of American
made weapons was recaptured
from the guerrillas in the fight
ing. Another tour
by historical
group set
Members of the Oregon Histor
ical Society will make another
tour into the central part of the
state this year, with the rim and
old lake country to be their goal.
Director Thomas Vaughan of
the Oregon Historical Society said
plans for the outing are still tent
ative, but that it will be in May,
with the Steens Mountain area
one of the objectives. Plans call
for an overnight stop at French
glen, in the old Pete French coun
try. Also to be traced to the area
will be the trail of Major Enoch
Steen, for whom Steens Mountain
was named following a skirmish
with the Indians.
The itinerary of the Oregon his
torians will be announced in the
near future.
Last year, the OHS sponsored
an old forts tour and visited the
historic site of Camp Watson and
other sites on the two-day trip.
Included in the 1961 itinerary
was Camp Polk, near Sisters.
Forecast sees
average water
supply in West
PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) Sup
plies of irrigation water in the
West are expected to be about
average this year, according to
the Soil Conservation Service.
But even average is in sharp
contrast to the parched conditions
of 1961.
R.A. Work, head of the serv
ices water supply forecasting
unit, has released a report on the
11 Western states.
Snowpacks are normal or above
normal in all areas except Ore
gon and southern Washington.
Highest snowpacks are in north
ern Utah and Colorado, Work
said, and widespread storms In
California and western Nevada
have improved the outlook in
those states since Feb. 1.
Work warned, however, that
many reservoirs throughout the
West have been depleted by
drought conditions in recent years
and a hefty late season snowfall
is needed to build them up again.
The statc-by-state outlook:
Arizona: Very Good. Present
storage is 150 per cent of normal.
Early spring runoff is expected
to run from 110-to-200 per cent of
normal.
California: Reservoir storage is
improved after February storms.
Streamflow forecasts for this sum
mer are average or slightly above
average.
Nevada: Water supplies will be
adequate, but not plentiful be
cause of depletion in reservoirs
for the past three years.

your figures are neat and legible,
the state returns are not likely
to be checked."
But he didn't guarantee it.

"I mean that with all my
heart" '

ring role in the movie "Cleopat
ra," have been a center of con
troversy for the past few weeks.
"Sure, we've heard all the scan
dal rumors," Fisher said. "But
we aren't paying any attention to
them. We can't afford to.
"There have been false stories
about Elizabeth and me since our
marriage. But what can we do?
We just have to live our lives and
not let gossip interfere with the
way we feel about one another."
Stories printed in Europe and
the United States indicated the
strikingly beautiful actress was
romantically involved with her
36-year-old leading man, Richard
Burton.
