TOV&TTZV MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuriday, September 29, lSo Shipments of Communist Weapons To Egypt Reported To 3e Under Way Efforts Made To Check Accuracy Of Europe Report Washington OJ.P.) The Unit ed States has recived reports hat Communist arms shipments already have left European and Black Sea ports for Egypt, it was learned today. Efforts are being made to check on these reports to deter mine whether they are true. So far, the reports only say that ships carrying arms to Egypt have; left Antwerp, Belgium, and Odessa, a Soviet port on the Black Sea. Authorities were unable to gay what kind of arms are sup posed to be aboard the ships ana whose vessels are involved. The United States was speed ing one of its diplomatic trouble-v- shooters to Cairo to discuss the Communist a m s agreement with Egyptiaii Premier Gamel Adbel Nasser. Assistant Secre tary of State Ggorge V. Allen took off suddenly Wednesday on a trip to Egypt, Lebanon and Athens, Greece, during which he will express U. S. concern over Egypt's agreement with Russia and Czechoslovakia. Arms Race feared The United States is con cerned about Communist agree ment to supply arms to Egypt be cause it fears the deal will upset radically the balance of power in the strife-torn Middle East, where Egypt and the other Arab nations are- aligned against Israel. It is known that Egypt sought last June to obtain jet bombers, heavy tanks, naval ves sels and heavy artillery from the United States and presumably is trying to get the same items from the Soviet. world. he State Department would not say exactly what Allen hoped to accomplish on his Cairo mission. But it was assum cd he would do his best to try to . discourage the Egyptians from, going through with the Communist arms arrangement. Apparently Due To Fail If so, Allen apparently is , doomed to failure. Egyptian For eign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi said in New York Wednesday it is his nation's "indisputable right and . . . duty to get from wherever we can our defense requirements." His statement scmed clearly aimed at a joint U. S.-Britisjjj statement appeal ing to all nat&ns to avoid an ' XI S..' .1 .11 I arms race in ine ivuaaie mm. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told reporters on his re turn from a two-day meeting in New York Wednesday that he had discussed the Communist arms agreement with Soviet For eign Minister V. M. Molotov. But he refused to disclose Molo tov's attitude on the matter. ' Dulles also said the import ance of Czechoslovakia's agree ment to furnish Egypt with wea pons "depends on what the quan tity and kind of arms are." Lm WiiWiiLrri;rai Junkmen Move Lighthouse Two Miles Over Water Vallejo, Calif. (U.R) . Two men who refused to be dissauded from their pet project by doubt ers have accomplished a seeming ly . impossible task' and given themselves a "moving" exper ience. Local junkman Robert E. Hu bert and his cohort, Archie Han na, a housemover, transported a 150-ton Coast Guard barracks and lighthouse over two miles of 'water by way of barge, an undertaking which many thought could only end in frustration. With the three-story landmark in its new location at Eliot Cove on the Carquinez Straits, Hubert is converting it into a restaurant and dance pavilion. Soon after he bought the aban doned structure in 1951 for $2 and a promise to dismantle or move it elsewhere, Hubert be gan canvassing house-movers for miles around to see who would agree to the difficult job of ship ping the 28-room quarters to oth er grounds. Everyone he contacted thought him a trifle crazy. Then he ran into Hanna, a mover who knew that the plans weren't insane at all. No Trouble They began planning at once. First the lighthouse would have to be lifted off its pilings and settled onto a waiting barge, a simple matter of carrying 300,- Omoha Beach Residents Pray for Eisenhower ' Saint Laurent Sur Mer, France (U.R) Ir. habitants of this vil lage near Omaha Beach where Gen. Dwight Eisenhower stepped ashore on D Day prayed for then hero today. Mayor Albert Legallois said the village was following reports of President Eisenhower's illness "with interest and anxiety." He said no message had been sent to Mr. Eisenhower "because we heard soon after that he was recovering." 000 pounds of stone, steel and wood some 300 yards to the water's edge. With ample man power and machinery this came off without a hitch. Next came the question of how to moor the outsized build ing securely enough so that there'd be be ho danger of its sliding off the 40 by 130-foot flatboat. By employing a web like series this, loo, was done. Hubert and Hanna had de cided that, because of rapid tide changes, that the entire opera tion must be completed within 20 minutes after its start. But on the scheduled day the waters of the San Francisco Bay tributary were so calm that the labor gang could afford -to take its time. Only once during the whole two-mile voyage was there any danger to the lighthouse-bearing, tugboat-propelled barge. A large freighter passed by about mid way through the voyage, and her wake made Hubert's seago ing mansion rock dangerously for a moment. Now that the harrowing job of moving the hulking ex-servicemen's quarters by a water route is over, Hubert can really begin working. By next year, he says, the lighthouse will be a resort and docking place for all pleas ure craft passing through. The whole move cost him be tween $5,000 and $7,000, but Hubert thinks it worth every cent just to prove his sanity. Korea Army Generals Told To Shed Concubines Seoul, Korea (U.R) The gov ernment has warned Republic of Korea army generals to get rid of their mistresses or 'lose their stars, Korean newspapers reported today. . .

Her fourth picture, "Yang Kwei Fei," will open here soon. Machiko is in Hollywood to day where Marlon Brando is looking her over as his probable leading lady for MGM's "Tea house of the August Moon.". And the Oriental star turned out to be a vivacious beauty who keeps her publicized figure hidden be- neatlt a kimono. It's an Honor "Some people say I am similar in popularity to Marilyn and Gina, but I didn't realize that until I went to the Venice Film Festival and toured Europe," the tiny star said through her in terpreter. "It's quite an honor to live up to. "But truly," she added deli cately, "I am not quite that type. When I was first discovered I was said to be in that sex appeal category and I resented that. I wanted to become a great actress of the drama." While Marilyn is studying up on "The Brothers Karamazov, Machiko already has earned her acting laurels. She was discov ered dancing in a Tokyo musical show and joined the Daiel stu dios, the largest in Japan, in 1949. As a dancer she was billed as "the girl with the perfect legs." Buf Machiko now claims, "I do not know what my measure ments are." When photographers asked her today to hike up her kimono for a cheesecake pic ture, she said, "Kimonos, are not to be pulled up." Although Machiko is the first Japanese actress to achieve no tice around the world, her mod est manners are different from the usual star's. She even in sists, "There are many more stars in Japan who are better than I I merely had the oppor tunity to be in the first Japanese films that were good enough to be shown in foreign countries."
