Russia Refuses Three
Appeals To Assist in
Release of Applegate
Br WILLIAM L. UMSTEAD
In The Saa Francisco Examiner
Washington A House mem

down three appeals by the United
States for aid in obtaining the
release of three Americans held
by the Chinese Reds.
The Americans are Interna

ment efforts in announcing that
he had advised Norman Krasner
of Newark, N. J., a brother of
the seaman, against going to
Hong Kong in an attempt to get
information.
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.

Medford-Ashland Four Lane Highway Said
'Stopgap;' By-Pass Planned for Future
The Medford Ashland four -lane
highway now nearing com
pletion, despite its expense and
the fine road it will be when
completed, is a "stopgap" pro
ject. 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

municable diseases was reported

cough were reported, two in

from California. One case of in
fectious hepatitis was reported
in Prospect and one case of in
fectious mononucleosis in Medford.
