TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) Selling Asia on Freedom For All Big American Task Tokyo (U.R) One of the big gest problems facing American diplomats in Asia today is the problem' of convincing local governments that the United States has no colonial ambitions. Even bigger and more im portant, as well as more diffi cult is the task of convincing the people of Asia that America favors freedom and independ ence for all nations. The problems the United States faces in connection with this colonialism "dilemma" are made . more complicated by Communist propaganda. Question Complicated U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles recently told mem bers o the U. S. Senate's foreign relations committee 'that the whole question is made very complicated "because we have our very close and valuable re lations with the United King dom and with France, which are looked upon in much of the v orld as the colonial powers."

S This inviting green celery Is the fjr kind that crackles when yon bite down MAIL TRIBUNE the United States supports the Unied Kingdom and France in international matters, "then we ourselves acquire a taint of colonialism which is rather gall ing to us because it is contrary to the instincts and traditions of the American people." This situation has been ob served by some leading pro American Asians and a num ber of them have suggested privately to U. S. diplomats in Asia that it might be best for the United States to "more or less go it alone" in Asia. Two Views Some Asian experts believe there is considerable merit in the suggestion that only Asian na tions and the United States should be members of the South east Asia anti-Communist alli ance now being considered. There . is a belief in many Asian circles that both Britain and France are too closely, iden tified with the colonialism so strongly opposed by all Asians today. On the other hand, ' some pro - American , Asians believe the United States can suc cessfully identify herself with anti-colonialism and win. the sympathy and cooperation of Asia's awakened masses. John Foster Dulles has pointed out that the United States has "a traditional sympahy with the peoples of the world who are trying to win independence for themselves." He also has stated that the American people "would like veiy- much to take a leadership ourselves in the program for winning independence." Dulles has admitted that the Communists with no considera tion of truth have "succeeded in identifying the United States with the colonial system in much of the world." The I.O.O.F. Hall in Moke lumne Hill is said to be the first three-story building in the in terior of California; originally a two-story structure built, in 1854 as an Adams & Co. express of fice, the third floor was added by the Odd Fellows Lodge in 1861. - ' your neighbors are talking? on a stalk.

Siringfellow Gets Way in Utah Election Ogden, Utah (U.R) Utah's election went the way Douglas Stringfellow wanted it to go. Two weeks ago last Saturday, Stringfellow, a 30-year-old crip pled war veteran, tearfully ad mitted inventing a story that he had been a wartime secret agent. He had represented Utah's 1st District in Congress for two years and had been renominated this year. ' . Two days later, Stringfellow withdrew from the campaign and Utah Republicans hastily selected college president H. Al dous Dixon, 64, as his substitute. Dixon was elected yesterday, winning over veteran Democra tic campaigner, Walter K. Granger. Short Circuit May Cause Poor Memory Los Angeles U,R) Poor memory may be the result of a "short circuit'.' in the brain, ac cording to findings made by Dr. Joseph Gengerelli, University of California psychologist. From experiments made with rats, Dr. Gengerelli discovered the frequency of electrical im pulses m a rat's brain determines how well they remember things. Rats whose brains were electri cally stimulated at a high fre quency remembered things bet ter than those stimulated at a low frequency. Wall Street New York (U.R) Wall Street's bulls made amends to day for over-selling stocks on wrong election predictions.

(U.R) Louis ville has begun a battle against a municipal malady common to American cities "the blight." "Blight" is the term used by sociologists to describe what hap pens to certain areas of a city when the business district be ginr to push out toward residen tial areas. Before the complete transition is made, there is almost always a period when the area goes progressively downhill from mansions or comfortable homes to good rooming houses to cheap rooming houses, Xo run-down flats and, finally, to slums. j Mayor Andrew Broaddus has decided to fight this decaying process, and he has assigned a new department of building and housing to the task. Two neighborhoods have been chosen to serve as pilot areas, or as laboratories to find out what can be done. It should be made clear that this isnot a "slum clearance" program. These areas, one in the West End and the other on. the fringe of the central -business dis trict, are not slums not yet. The West End area is a 3Vfc block district with 122 buildings, most of them 25 to 100 years old. Two-thirds of them are owned by the occupants, and most of them are homes. Many of them are neat, well kept homes of an older type. But here and there, signs of de cay have begun to creep in. Be tween two freshly painted brick homes you may find a decrepit, tumble-down house that has been neglected for years. Here and there a vacant lot is slowly becoming a trash dump,' with re fuse collecting in a abandoned foundations of a house. As the mayor's assistant, George Hendon, explained to the residents of the areas: "This is a program of conser vation and renewal in sections of the city where blight . has started to creep in. We want to save, not tear down. We want the people, with the city's help, to keep their neighborhoods val uable." Jail and Fines The key to the program is a new city housing code with teeth in it, giving authorities power to make property owners keep their properties up to minimum speci fications. The ordinance demands flush toiJets, kitchen sinks, adequate garbage disposal, lighted hall ways, window screens, approved electrical wiring, and satisfac tory plumbing. Foundations, roofs, walls and ceilings must be reasonably weatherproof, water tight and rodent-proof. . Every dwelling unit must have at least 1G0 square feet of floor WA M f VA I U 1 1 - FAT space and 50 additional square feetlor each additional occupant. Violations can produce fines of $10 to $50, plus, jail terms of up to 30 days, and each day of vio lation is a separate offense. A 24-man Mayor's Citizens Advisory Committee, . including church and school officials, real estate men, architects, Chamber of Commerce officials, attorneys and representatives of construc tion trade unions, - has been formed to Lelp carry out the program. ( , Louisville hopes in this way to keep the blight from eating out its heart. . Nixon Cancels Plan For Florida Vacation Washington U.R) Vice-President Richard M. Nixon today cancelled a vacation trip to Flor ida. ' Nixon, back from 40,000 mile campaign speaking tour, had planned to go to Florida with his family until the -Senate reconvenes next Monday. His office said only that Nix on had decided that the vacation would be too short.' At Canada's Port Radium plant, just - below the Arctic Circle, an endless rubber belt carries coallike lumps of uranium-bearing ore from mine to mill. Keen-eyed spotters hold doubtful chunks before a Geiger counter suspended from the ceil ing. A flashing light confirms radio-activity. Until 1953 Port Radium was Canada's only uran ium mill. A larger plant in Beaverlodge now swells the out put. '. "THE GIANT OF KNOCKMANY - - - - ............
