Million -Dollar Expansion Of
Industrial Area Here Told
Details of a million-dollar ex
pansion and building project, in
volving three companies at the
Camp White industrial area,
were reported today by Medford
businessmen involved.
The three firms are the Ross
Lumber company, the White City
Lumber company, and Bruce
Bauer and Company. Total ex
penditure planned for the three
related projects will amount to
more than $1 million.
The Ross Lumber company is
in the process of installing a new
15-inch high speed planer and
mill including resaw equipment
at the White City industrial area.
Ground has already been broken
for a log pond, which will serve
a new Swedish gang mill, the
first of its type in southern Ore
gon. It is designed to handle
logs up to 36 inches in diameter,
and company officials say that
it wm Handle logs iar more ef
ficiently than with the conven
tional type sawmill.
To Cost $400,000
The new planing and log gang
mills will cost in the- neighbor
hood of $400,000. Tom Ross is
president of, the concern, and the
firm's office is located in the
Fluhrer building.
The largest expansion project
of tne tnree firms is that now
under way at the White City
Lumber company, where a new
10-track concrete and tile dry
kiln, with stacker and unstacker,
is being constructed. In addition,
a new planing mill with a 24
inch planer, with added ripsaw
equipment is being installed, to
add to present facilities. These
include a 15-inch planer, side-
feed dry kilns, and one hori
zontal and one vertical resaw
rig.
The new facilities will in
crease the capacity of the plant
substantially, and will make pos
sible a more constant supply of
material for use by remanufac
turing plants now located or
planned for construction on the
site.
The new pieces of equipment,
and a rearranging of the plant's
layout to permit more efficient
operation, will cost approxi
m a t e 1 y $500,000. Chauncey

Russia 'Taking'
China Provinces,
Acheson Maintains
Washington, Jan. 12. (U.R)
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
said today that Russia is in the
process of "taking" the four
northern provinces of China.
"The Soviet Union is detach
ing the northern provinces of
China from China and attaching
them to the Soviet Union," Ache
son said in a speech before the
National Pre.ss club.
Significant Fact
He said this is the most sig
nificant fact in relation to the
policy of any foreign, power to
ward Asia today.
Acheson said the process of
taking over is complete in Outer
Mongolia, nearly complete in
Manchuria and that "happy re
ports" are going to Moscow from
Inner Mongolia and the fourth
northern province.
Acheson said nothing that the
United States does should be al
lowed to obscure this fact. He
said Soviet propaganda could
not obscure it, but that "ill
conceived ventures on our part
could do so."
"We must not seize the un
enviable position Russia has carv
ed lor nerseit, ne said. we
must not take for ourselves the
righteous anger of the Chinese
people which must develop."
Isbrandfsen Vessel
Heading For Tsingtao
Hong Kong, Jan. 12 (U.R)
The shell - torn -Isbrandtsen
freighter Flying Arrow was re
ported steaming north to Tsing
tao today after being ordered to
abandon attempts to reach
Shanghai.
Capt. David Jones of the Fly
ing Arrow was ordered by his
owners to take his ship to Tsing
tao rather than risk a dash into
Shanghai past blockading nation
alist warships.
Tsingtao, on the Shantung
peninsula some 360 miles north
of Shanghai, is the former Unit
ed States naval base in the far
east. It is too far away from
nationalist naval bases to be
blockaded successfully.
Two American destroyers
which have been standing by the
Flying Arrow for the past two
days were reported to have de
parted after learning the freight
er had been ordered to Tsingtao.
The destroyers helped the Flying
Arrow repair 17 shell holes re
ceived when it was fired upon
by a nationalist gunboat last
Monday.

In Invasion Area
Battle Going On
In All Directions
Taipei, Formosa, Jan. 12. (U.R)
A nationalist military spokesman
said today that there was heavy
guerrilla fighting on Hainan Is
land but he denied that Chinese
communist regular troops have
landed there.
"There have been no landings
whatsoever but there is fight
ing between guerrillas and na
tionalists," the spokesman said.
He added that he couldn't specify
the exact areas of the fighting
but that it was going on "in all
directions."
Landings Told
The report of a communist
landing was published in the
semi-official paper New Life
Daily (Sinsangpao). It said com
munist regulars from the main
land landed and established a
beachhead with the help of
guerrillas.
The dispatch said there was no
fighting and that so far the na
tionalist commander, Gen Hsueh
Yueh, has made no move to repel
the communists.
The landing was said to have
been made on the southwest
coast between the cities of Kan
em and Kaotu, 140 miles south
west of the expected invasion
area around the island's capital,
Hoi how.
Guerrillas Move Down
The dispatch said guerrilla for
ces which have been active in
the mountains moved down to the
beaches and established a head
quarters there to aid the landing
forces.
Instead of sailing from the Lui
chow peninsula as expected, the
dispatch said, the communist in
vasion fleet left the port of Pa
khol, some 90 miles northwest,
and sailed directly south to Wei
chow Island in the Gulf of Tin
kin. At Weichow the communists
waited for an opportune time,
then sailed 150 miles south to
reach the landing area. The dis
patch did not say how many
troops were in the landing force.
