Kean made public a letter he had sent to the Newark man. He said in a statement that the United States Embassy in Mos cow had made three separate ap proaches to the Soviet Foreign Office "without encouraging re mits." x State Department spokesman Lincoln White said that "several approaches have been made to Moscow on a humanitarian basis to use its influence with Peip ing to rectify unjustifiable treat ment of American cilisenv in China." White said the name r Dixon, Applegate and Kramer were mentioned specifically in some of the United States representa tions to the Kremlin. He added that Red China has not replied to British notes ask ing for information about the three Americans. Kean said the State Depart ment told him last month that the Russians apparently aren't interested in trying to get the Chinese Communists to release the three men even on human itarian grounds. In his letter to Krasner, Kean said that he advised against the trip to Hong Kong because "any such effort would militate against the safety of your broth er and his companions." He warned that the Newark man might be bilked for a large sum of maney on the pretext in formation was being given him and that he might even be made a prisoner himself should the Reds arrange a rendezvous. However, Kean noted one pos sible favorable development in the case of the Americans who were seized by a Chinese Red gunboat on March 21 while en route from Hong Kong to Macao aboard a private vessel. He wrote Krasner: "I can tell you thai there has been no mention of your brother or his friends in the Chinese Communist press. This is con sidered favorable for, almost without fail, the Communist press reports public trials at which large unruly mobs hurl fantastic charges at defendants." No official accusations have been announced against the men by the Chinese Reds. Leons and Tots-to-Teens HALF YEARLY' CLEARANCE And Great Continues All Week!

State Highway Engineer R. H. Baldock said yesterday. Here on a tour of State High way Commission projects, Bal dock spoke briefly at an infor mal meeting of highway commis sioners, staff . engineers and Rogue valley people at the Rogue Valley Country club at noon. Permanent Rout Seen A permanent Highway 99 route which will not be con structed for from seven to fif teen years will by-pass both Med ford and Ashland, and will go south along the east side of Bear creek, Baldock pointed out. Even then, he said, the money spent on the present new route will not be wasted, for by that time there will be plenty of traf fic to keep both highways busy. Of traffic in the area, 75 per cent is local, 25 per cent through, Baldock added. Completion of the Highway 99 proj3ct from Portland to Med ford within the next few years will, mean 30 miles less driv ing, and because of better driv ing conditions, some three hours less time. Baldock also discussed the cur rent building program of the highway department. He said after the legislature had studied the program with the aid of several interim committees, it approved increases in gasoline taxes, auto license fees, and the weight-mile truck tax. Even then funds were insufficient for an adequate program, he stated, and the legislature also author ized two bond issues, totaling $72,000,000. As a result, Baldock said, some $150,000,000 will be spent on highways in the current five year period, which will cure most of the critical deficiencies in the state's primary road sys tem. Local Work Needed Paul Rynning, county high way engineer and chairman of the Jackson County, Chamber of Commerce highway committee, pointed out to Baldock and the two highway commissioners present, two jobs which need doing straightening and widen ing Crater Lake highway be tween Trail and Cascade Gorge, and work on the Little Butte secondary road. Ben H. Chandler, Coos Bay, chairman of the commission, in answer to a question, said State Rep. Bob Root's request for an economic survey to determine the desirability of a new high way between Medford and Klam- 26 Communicable Diseases Reported A total of 26 cases of com municable diseases was reported to the Jackson county Health department for the week ending August 7. Mumps led the list with 12 cases, 9 in Medford, 2 in Ashland and in Jacksonville. Members were next with four, cases, two in Medford, one each in Central Point and Griffin Creek. Three cases of whooping cough were reported, two in Ashland and one in Medford. There were also three cases of pneumonia, two in Medford and one in Central Point. Two 'cases of dysentery were reported from Gold Hill, both were tourists from California. One case of in fectious hepatitis was reported in Prospect and one case of in fectious mononucleosis in Medford. Medford Church Tops Contribution Goal The Medford Church of God, Haven and Holly sts.. Rev. Charles A. Anthony, pastor, was one of 631 congregations of the church in America to exceed the goal of $12 per member for the world service fund it was an nounced today. The fund, used principally for home and 'foreign missions. Christian education, the church's colleges and ministers' pension and aid, was set up by the na tional church organization. The Medford congregation exceeded its goal by 91 cents per member.

Others Discussed Other southern Oregon road work mentioned at the meeting include three slides on Highway 99 the other side of the Siskiyou summit, which have already had $75,000 worth of drainage tun nels dug, and which will be worked on with funds provided in the 1954 budget; the Ashland Billings Hill underpass, where engineers said a project is plan ned to carry four-lane work a mile further, and eliminate the "bottleneck" at the underpass, and at Savage Rapids dam, where the commission plans to raise the level of the highway to eliminate flooding. A commission spokesman also told City Superintendent Bob Duff and Councilman Paul Selby that technical advice and coun selling by commission engineers would be made available to the city for planning a truck by pass in Medford, although the commission has no authority of its own to establish such by passes. Other Speakers Other speakers included High way Commissioner Charles Rey nolds, who told of the commis sion's work, and praised the work of legislative highway in terim committees, and State Rep. Ed Geory, Klamath Falls, chairman of the current interim committee, who explained his group's function. In addition to those men tioned, among the 40 persons at tending were Representatives Root and Ed Mann, Medford; State Sen. Ben Day; County Commissioners L. G. Morthland and Robert Lytle; Sen.
