SIXTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. July 23. 1955 Proposal That US, Efed China Conifer on Asian Matters Dulls Geneva Rainbow 3 i Lyle C. Wilson Foreign Minister Level Suggested By Sen. George By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) A power f ully-uspported proposal that the United States meet soon with wmzm Red Ch,na. to afc-V prevent a ctan- gerous Asiatic flareup dulled today's Geneva rainbow. This was a grim reminder that half the world and mul ti - millions of persons were excluded from the Big Four summit. The pro posal boldly underlined the parting words of Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin about the prob lem of Red China: "We shall never escape these problems." Chairman Walter F. George of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee called for the meet in? with Red China Sunday night. He said it should be at the foreign minister level after Con gress adjourns and much sooner than a suggested six months. Elaborating his ideas to the United Pres., George indicated he advanced the idea because of "some information" he had obtained independently from Chinese and India sources. In dia's roving Ambassador V. K. Krishna Mcnon was a recent visitor to Washington, presum ably seeking some such arrange ment. George told the United Press he hoped a meeting could be limited to the United States and Red China. "I Hope So' Asked if he had reason to be lieve Red China and the U. S. might actually meet. George re plied: "I hope so." Delay would be dangerous, he continued, be cause trouble between National ist and Red China over off-shore islands was sure otherwise to come. The State Department had no immediate comment. The force of the Georgia Democrat's pro posal can be measured by the impact of his call last March for a Big Four meeting at the summit the genial conference from which President Eisenhow er returned in hopeful mood Sunday. But there was no evidence that the administration soon would be swung by George to a huddle with the Red Chinese. On the contrary, President Eis enhower banned discussion of Asiatic questions at Geneva and got away with it, although the Russians expressed regret. As one of many ultimate spon sors of the Geneva meeting, George applauded its results Sunday night. He went far be yond Mr.' Eisenhower's cautious optimism. Some may have been startled by the chairman's be lief there is a good chance of settlement of the German ques tion this year. Are Reds Slill Smiling? There seemed small chance of that so soon on the basis of joint and individual statements as the Big Four scattered over the week end to their home capitals. It remains to be learned whether the Soviet Russian dele gation was still smiling and friendly as it faced north and east toward Moscow. It is no reflection on George to report that a U. S. meeting with Red China would please the Kremlin, if anything would, nor that the record indicates that Mr. Eisenhower will not quickly go along with his good friend and frequent Senate champion. Senator George. The President is well placed to balk. He has returned from Geneva with new prestige at home and abroad. He stole the Geneva show, or most of it. And if it comes to be that his plan for an exchange of defense blue prints with the Soviets was only propaganda, after all, it still is echoing like the shot heard 'round the world. It was one of Mr. Eisenhower's purposes to make good propaganda for the United States at Geneva, and he seems to have brought it off. Appt ' Last Yacht Crosses Race Finish Line Honolulu (U.R) The 1955 transpacific yacht race was com pleted yesterday when the last entry, the 36-foot schooner Sea Mist sailed past the finish line to a reception of lettuce, milk and martinis.

That was because skipper Elmer Hitchcock and his brother, navigator Leroy Hitchcock, own a lettuce farm in Salinas. Calif.

By HILLEVI ROMBIN Written for the United Press Long Beach, Calif . (U.R) I dreamed about winning the title of Miss Universe. But I never thought it would ever become a reality. It's the grandest thing that ever has happened to me. With all this excitement around me, I often have to pinch myself to see if I am still dream ing. It's all so wonderful. Parents, Fiance Thrilled My parents in Stockholm are thrilled about my good fortune. So is my fianec, Lt. Nils Benker of the Swedish Air Force. My beautiful sapphire ring it is Nils' present to me. He is a wonderful man. We hope to be married in the near future, but we have not yet set the date. I am grateful for the way the American people have received my victory. And I am proud that I have been called a sym bol of Swedish womanhood. This international pageant has been a great experience for me. I have made many friends from many countries. I only wish each of the girls had won. But as there is only one Miss Uni verse, this would be impossible. Director Praised I would like to say a word of praise for Mr. Oscar Mein- hardt (executive director of the pageant) and all the other won derful people who made this contest possible. My honest opinion is that this type of com petition does a great deal to ward furthering international understanding and good will. All of the girls have gotten along together wonderfully.

It it the couple's first child. to her state or country a good will ambassador. If only the nations of the world could gei along as well as we 75 girls did I am certain there never would be talk of war. A lot of people have said that I look like Grace Kelly. I am highly complimented by this comparison. I think she is a wonderful actress. Sweden has many fine actresses, too, you know. Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman just to name two of them.
