TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, September 28; 1955 Diplomats Fear Russian, Czech Offer To Sell Arms To Egyptians Per Me. U.S., Britain Seek To Avoid Race in Middle East Area Washington. (U.FD .Diplo mats feared today that Russian and Czech offers to'sell arms to Egypt are aimed a f stirring up new trouble in the strife-ridden Middle East. Diplomats said the offer thus seems to expose as two-faced the Soviet's post-Geneva policy of seeking to relax world tensions. The United States and Britain have set out to correct the im pression that the United States plans to supply weapons to Egypt to forestall the Commu nist offers. Want lo Avoid Race Secretary of State John-Foster Dulles and British Foreign sec retary Harold MacMillan issued t statement in New York that both governments want "to avoid any arms race wnicn in evitably would "increase, tension in that area. ' ' The impression that the United States itself, would supply weap ons for Egypt started over the week end with a report the United States had offered arms to Egypt. Informed sources said later the United States was seek ing arms. Reports Believed Jerusalem dispatches quoting Israeli sources made it was evi dent Israel believed the reports and that the United States had made such an offer through fears Egypt might be drawn into the Soviet orbit. The British Foreign Office said Tuesday the Egyptian (gov ernment had accepted a Soviet offer to sell arms. Egyptian Pre mier Gamal Abdel Nasser said in a speech Tuesday night Csech oslovakia had agreed to supply arms in return for cotton and rice, but he did not clarify whether Russia would supply arms. t There also were reports other Arab nations were willing to buy arms from the Soviet Union. like Hoped To Be Able To Referee Administration Arguments Meat Inspection Program Starts In Salem Area ! Salem (U.PJ The state pilot progragi on compulsory meat in-1 specuon openea in me oaiem area this week. - For three weeks every slaugh ter plant in the area supplying the Salem section will be under ante mortem and post mortem inspection. : A few plants have regular fed eral or state inspection but in the pilot program eight other plants not previously under any type of inspection are under constant inspection oth before, during and- immediately after slaughter. . , Meat To Bear Stamp ' The consumer will be aware of the pilot program in the in creased volume of meat bearing 1 the shield-shaped state meat in spection stamp. i J. F. Short, director of agri culture, said it is important for the public to understand that this program is a temporary one. " After about three weeks in. the Salem -area the inspectors will move to another section of Ore-' gon. In this way the state will be covered on an area basis. Th0 1955 Legislature asked the Department of Agriculture to conduct the pilot program to determine if statewide compuK sory meat inspection is needed in Oregon, and what it will cost. O ! ' : Social Security Cord Not Identification A social security card is id' entification for social security purposes only and should not be accepted as identification ior other purposes. W. V. Nusbaum, manager of the Medf ord social security office reminded local store managers' and their em ployees today. e . A person may obtain a social security card and work under . any name he wishes, Nusbaum said. To receive old age insur ance benefits, persons ' must prove they are the one for whom a social security account has been opened under that name and number, and whose -earnings have been credited to that account. A social security card is no guarantee that an individ ual is using the name given him, or that he has a back account, Nusbaum said. v . Although few people will ob tain a social security 'card bear ing a false name, a properly is sued card may be lost or stolen, and may be in the possession of someone to whom it does not belong. Moreover, a person can have his name on his social se curity card changed by ...filing a request for a change in rec ords with the Social Security ad ministraflon. I Washington (U.R) Admin istration officials hoped today that President Eisenhower will be well enough by the end of the year to referee any admin istration argument over "new programs to be presented to Con gress.next January. On the basis of past experience experts said the Chief Execu tive's firm hand will be most needed in the final stages of fis cal 1957 budget planning, pre paration of new legislative pro grams and the state of the un ion message. ' The budget was given as an example. Asian Aid Disputed Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey, in a budget-balancing mood, has taken a dim view of heavy foreign aid ex penditures. Last year he was dis puted by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, Foreign Air Chief Harold E. Stassen, and to some extent by " Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson. The main disagreement was over a new Asian aid program. Mr. Eisenhower stepped in and settled things. Both sides gave yet. Experts of all government a lime and a compromise was reached. Experts believe that Humph rey this year will be even more insistent on budget-balancing. The problem has not come up Woman Injured as Auto Overturns Sharleen Anderson, 26, whose home address is listed as 2094 Barnett rd., Medford, was in jured yesterday in a one-car ac cident on Highway 99 near the Tolo overpass, according to state police. She was taken to Josephine General hospital in Grants Pass by Medford Ambulance service. Police said the extent of her injuries was not known here. Investigating officers said her car, which was traveling north, went 191 feet on a graveled shoulder, skidded 86 feet across the highway striking an embank ment, and flipped over. The ve hicle was extensively damaged. departments are working over time on their dollar requests for the 1957 fiscal year. But this work is on a preparatory level. It has not reached the point of requiring final decisions within the State, Defense or other de partments. . Decisions in December This situation was acknow ledged Tuesday by White House Press Secretary James J. Hag erty, in Denver. He pointed out that government - business, be cause of the time of year, is at a point where many matters that eventually will come before the President are in the preparation stage. Normally, he said, these matters would not come before the President for decision until possibly December. This situation is particularly true because of the way the President operates the adminis tration. He follows the Army principle of staff work. Recom mendations start at the bottom and come to the top, for the most part, only after they are ready for decision. On Rental-Purchase Plan ' Open Today Until t PJH. .
