Chinese Family Given
Royal Greeting in
White Neighborhood
Sonoma. Calif." (U.R) Fred
die Wing settled his Chinese
family into their new $12,000 (
home Thursday, happy in the as
surances of his Caucasian neigh
bors that he is more than wel
come to live among them.
Some 200 friends and neigh
bors gathered Wednesday to eat
barbecued pig, roasting chicken
with almonds and other Chinese
delicacies at Wing's house-warming
party in the previously all
white Hillview tract.
Invitations Sent
Wing sent out 200 invitations.
He got 200 acceptances. Nearly
all of Sonoma, birthplace of the
California Republic, attended.
The gather in'g contrasted
sharply with the welcome given
a few weeks ago to another Chi
nese family in the San Francisco
bay area.
When Sing Sheng, a former
Nationalist army officer, tried
to move his family into a new
home in South San Francisco,
his prospective neighbors told
him he would be unwelcome in
the all-Caucasian residential dis
trict. There was much talk of
property values.
Lost Vole
Sing Sheng said he was willing
to put the matter to a vote. The
vote went against him. He abided
by the majority decision and
decided not to move where he
wasn't wanted.
In Sonoma, Freddie Wing
earned the respect and the
friendship of the community
where he has worked for years
as a cook at the Swiss Hotel.
He saved enough money to buy
home in the Hillview tract,
which has 40 new houses.
Among those who turned out
for the housewarming were Mrs.
H. H. "Hap" Arnold, widow of
the wartime chief of the Air
Force; Sonoma's Mayor Warren
Monroe; two bank presidents
and other residents of the Hill
view tract. The guests came
Osteopathic Society
Sees Atomic Films
Films relating in detail the
care of casualties in an atomic
disaster were shown to the
Southern Oregon Osteopathic
society at the monthly meeting
Wednesday at the home of Dr.
H. A. Krause. The film "Medi
cal Services in an Atomic Dis
aster, "was obtained from the
6th Army headquarters in San
Francisco. It showed the theory
behind casualties, the effect an
atomic bomb would have on
large cities. A city of 250,000
could expect a casualty list of
140,000 persons.
Although Medford is very un
likely to be bombed, it might be
called upon to help handle the
tremendous casualties that
would follow such a disaster in
some of the larger cities. Em
phasis was placed on adequate
medical facilities being located
and stored on outskirts of large
cities so that all medical facili
ties would not be destroyed in
the event of atomic bombing.
The film was proceeded by a
routine business meeting.
with flowers and plants for the
garden and pictures and knick
knacks for the new house.
Proud of Him
"I knew it," said Wing, a U. S.
veteran of World War II. "These
people are my friends."
"We ' are proud of Freddie
here," said Lew Colby, a local
insurance man. "He's a good
American and a good cook. He
worked hard and saved enough
money to go to China for his nice
litle wife, and then he worked
hard again and saved enough
money for a good home.
"We're glad he has one of the
best in town."
Mathematicians
Seek Equations
On News Spreading
Chicago U.R) A University
of Chicago professor said Thurs
day he hopes to develop a math
ematical theory to determine
among other things whether
good news travels faster than
bad.
Anatol Rapoport believes he
can. set down mathematical
equations which ,will show how
rumors are spread.
Rapoport is one of a group of
men, headed by Nicholas Rashev
sky, who are 'working in a new
mathematical branch of science.
Rapoport already has applied
a theoretical formula to an ac
tual experiment in rumor-spreading
conducted on the West Coast.
The experiment was staged in
a small town by University of
Washington researchers working
on a U. S. Air Force project.
The researchers "planted a
rumor among housewives by
having advertising lelaflets
dropped from airplanes.
The leaflets said that anyone
who could find out a new ad
vertising slogan before its pub
lic release could collect a pound
of coffee free from a local
grocery.
The slogan itself was told to
40 persons. Each told others, and
within three days the word had
spread to 160 of the little town's
208 housewives, or to 80 per
cent of the "concerned" population.
Wholesale Food Price
Index Rises Two Cents
New York (U.R) Wholesale
food prices as measured by the
Dun it Bradstreet index in the
week ended March 11 rose two
cents above last week's 16-
month low to $6.58. ,
The index now stands 9.5 per
cent below a year ago when it
was $7.27, but 10.4 per cent
above the pre-Korea level of
$5.96.
The wholesale barometer rep
resents the sum total of the
price per pound of 31 foods in
common use, of which 10 ad
vanced, five declined and 16
held unchanged.

Training is "vital" to the defense

Government Files Civil Action
To Void Sale of Indian Timber
Portland U.R A civil action
was on file here Thursday by the
U.S. government to void sale of
800 acres of Indian trust timber-
lands at Gold Beach, Ore.
The suit was filed late Wednes
day, Just two days after a simi
lar action by the Portland Trust
Bank was filed to return the
lands to Jasper Grant and Har
old Thornton, original owners of
the property. The bank acted as
conservator of the funds of the
two Indians, who had been de
clared incompetent by the Bu
reau of Indian affairs.
The federal suit differed in one
respect from the trust firm's
action. It did not name as de
fendants three Portland Indian
bureau officials: Morgan Pryse,
local head of the bureau; Clyde
W. Flinn, land officer, and F. E.
La France, assistant land of
ficer. ' ,
Henry L. Hess, U. S.' district
attorney for Oregon, said the
suit was filed on orders from
Washington. He indicated that it
was possible the action would
be amended later to name addi
tional defendants, pending out
come of an investigation of the
Indian Bureau.
Named as defendants in the
action were Mrs. Ernestine C.
Siniscal, who bought the land;
Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Taylor
who bought it from Mrs. Sinis
cal; William VF. Brenner and
Fred M. Marsh, who took an
option of the land: Elmer A.
Reed,' Mrs. Siniscal's father;
three John Does, and three Jane
Does.
Conspiracy Charged :
The complaint stated that "the
defendants jointly acting and
conspiring together and with
other persons unknown, entered
into a conspiracy to procure the
conveyancing of the unrestricted
title" to the Indian trust lands
for "a consideration to them
known to be grossly inadequate."
The price paid was $135,000.
Hess pegged the true value of
the trust lands at "in excess of
$350,000 a figure similar to the
estimate of the property made
by the Portland Trust Bank in
its suit
Portland -ttJ.R) A report on
file in circuit court here Thurs
day indicated that a Eugene firm
has offered $300,000 for 800
acres of timberland which the In
dian bureau sold for $135,000.
Attorney Leroy Lomax said in
the report that the offer for the
land near Gold Beach, Ore., was
made by the Associated Plywood
Mills.
The attorney represents the
Portland Trust Bank, conserv
ator for the funds of Indians Jas
per Grant and Harold Thornton.
The Indian bureau, which de
clared the two men incompetent,
sold the land which it was hold
ing in trust for them.
Lomax has instituted action to
void the sale and return the land
to the Indians. The trust firm
holds that the Indians did not
know that the land was .worth,
according to the bank, in excess
of $350,000.
Boeing Crews Work on
Atom-Powered Plane
Washington U.R) The Boe
ing Airplane Co., which - pro
duced the famed B-17 and B-29,
has thrown its engineering know
how into the race to develop an
atomic powered bomber that
could circle the earth non-stop
without refueling.
Work in Secrecy
Informed sources said Boeing
engineers have been working
secretly for several months on
the design of an airframe or
body for the giant plane-of-the-future.
First word of the project came
Wednesday night in a terse De
fense Department announcement
that a contract had been awarded
to Boeing to work with the Pratt
& Whitney Co., East Hartford,
Conn., which will build the
atomic engine for the plane.

Civil Defense Test
Surprise To Many
New York (U.R) An unan

and radio listeners in this area
by surprise Wednesday night.
Shortly before midnight a sign
reading "this is a civil defense
program" was flashed on TV
screens. Radio programs also
were interrupted briefly. A mes
sage about the importance of
communications to defense ef
forts was read to listeners.

Vultee and General Electric Co.
are engaged in a similar part

aircraft engine and an airframe
big enough to house it.
Different Approach .
Informants said each "team"
is taking a different approach to
the problem, but would give no
details of the respective designs.
Air Force and Atomic Energy
Commission officials consider it
a certainty that an atomic
powered plane can be built, but
they concede that it will take a
long time to solve the tremen

volved. Five years is the mini
mum guess on how long it will
be before an atomic plane is
ready for flight tests.
