Anthonv Sir Cold Reception To Russian Suggestion For Separate Pacts Washington (U.R) British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden declared today that he saw no value in a British-Soviet friendship pact so soon after Friday, February 3 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE WINK such a previous treaty "by Russia was torn up." Eden at a news conference gave a cold reception to a sug gestion by Soviet Premier Niko lai Bulganin that Russia was willing to sign separate 20-year friendship pacts with the United States. Britain, France and other countries. Eden said Bulganin's proposal was "certainly interesting and a little remarkable." "I am not personally entirely Sees Jo Value In British -Soviet Friendship Treaty convinced of the value of a new agreement so soon after a treaty signed by Russia was torn up by her," Eden said. Eden's reference was to the British-Soviet non aggression pact which was can celled last year by the Soviet Union. Eden recalled that he had signed that treaty himself with Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov. Eden also confirmed that he had proposed during his talks La Prensa's Siren Sounds As Argentina Newspaper Resumes Buenos Aires, Argentina U.PJ Freedom of the press returned to Argentina today when the newspaper La Prensa began pub lishing as a free newspaper for the first time in five years. ' Dr.- Alberto Gainza Paz, who built the newspaper to greatness only to see it seized by former President Juan D. Peron, press ed a button at 1:45 a.m. which set its 21 unit press rolling with a record 700,000 copies. . La Prensa's famous siren which '4or years heralded events of world importance sounded for a full minute. At midnight there had been a minute of silence in memory of Roberto Nunez who was killed in 1951 when loyal staff members tried to pub lish the paper in defiance of Peron. The pressroom was jammed with government officials, men "and women prominent in the newspaper field, Argentine lead ers and newsreel and television cameramen. Gainza Paz was al most mobbed as many of those present snatched the first copies off the press and thrust them into his hands for an autograph. Well-Dressed Newsboys After the ceremony, Buenos Aires had some of toe best-dress- Truman Refused-To See Richard Nixon : New York (U.PJ Former President Truman said today that whenever he thinks of the fact that Vice-President Rich ard M. Nixon has called him a traitor, "I not only swear, I want to punch somebody." .: Mr. Truman told newsmen during ' his morning walk that although he had known Nixon in Congress he had refused .to see him since Nixon so char acterized him. "I won't see him," he said, "it would just start a fight." ,; ' Mr. Truman said that when he recently was invited by sena tors to join them on the Senate floor, "I told them I wouldn't come into the Senate- with him In the chair. They took him out and put (Sen. Alben) Barkley in." The matter of Mr., Nixon was raised when a reporter men tioned that Mr.. Truman had used strong language in a radio and television speech last night referring to charges that he and Gen. George C. Marshall were "traitors." He interpolated into his prepared speech the remark that if that were true; "This . country is sure in a hell- of a fix.' ' "I got the darndest wigging you ever saw from my wife and daughter," Mr. Truman said. "They said, 'I wish they'd cut you off the air when you start swearing like that.' " ed "newsboys" ever seen. Many of the elegantly clad visitors left carrying bundles of La Prensa under their arms for their friends at home. Ordinary newsboys were jubi lant. They reported early in the Bay Area Operators r Reject Settlement . San Francisco (U.R) Opera tors of 10 coastwise ships tied flip by a strike of the Masters, Mates and Pilots Union' have rejected an offer to arbitrate the four-month-old dispute.-. "' " ; Whitney Olson, spokesman for the operators, explained tl at they did not wish to upset the pattern already established this year in a settlement for deep water maritime workers. Three other maritime unions joined the Sailors Union of the Pacific in asking the NWP to make a new try to settle the dispute. The unions represent about 300 men idled by the strike. The union were the - Marine Firemen, Marine Engineers and Marine Cooks and Stewards. 5 Capt. Charles F. May, leader of the MMP, criticized the un ions for opposing the strike. He said: i "We will negotiate our own agreement and we will set our own pattern. These unions have no right to try to negotiate our contract for us." U The MMP is seeking wage increases and . other benefits which the employers say would add $152 to the monthly wage of every mate and master. The MMP estimated they would add no more than $50. The other unions feel that a S25 increase would be fair, according to the industry pattern. Stevenson Praises Recent Declaration By President, Eden San Francisco '(U.R) Adlai Stevenson hopes the Declaration of Washington signed by Presi dent Eisenhower and Sir An thony Eden will put a stop to GOP , "bomb - brandishing and brink-walking." - Stevenson expressed this hope last night in a speech to 3,200 cheering Democrats at the Bay Meadows race track clubhouse in- suburban San Mateo. ' After concluding his speech, Stevenson returned to San Fran cisco to spend the night. Today he worked on a speech he will deliver tomorrow to the con vention of the California Demo cratic Council in Fresno. He' is currently touring Cali fornia in a bid for the state's 68 votes to the Democratic na tional " convention. The Cali fornia primary election 'is June o. , Sharp Contrast Stevenson, who has been criti cal in his other California speeches of the administration's foreign policy, said the most encouraging thing about the dec laration "is that it stands in sharp contrast to the newsstand diplomacy to which we; have been treated lately." He hoped it would set a prece dent "for more candid and exact reporting to the American peo ple on tne state of our affairs in the world." . "It is a reassuring sequel to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' recent wild talk about the virtues of bomb-brandishing and brink-walking." He was referring to a recent magazine article in which Mr. Dulles was quoted as saying that the United States had approach ed the. brink of war three times. Praises Declaration : Outside of these jabs at the Republicans, however, : Steven son found much to praise in the declaration. He said it em phasizes a truth "too often un recognized" nowadays "That the great imperial-colonial pow er of our . time is the Soviet Union." He said it is useful, too, in that it "candidly recognizes" there still remain disagreements between the U. S. and Great Britain on important aspects of foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East and Asia. - proceedings they had sold sev eral hundred copies at prices up to four pesos instead of- the usual lower price of 40 centavos. Except in spirit, the La Prensa of today bore little resemblance to . the La Prensa of old. Gone was the European - style front page of ads. In its place was a streamlined front page of news. The masthead carried the number 29476 which continued the series ' interrupted when it was closed down Jan.. 25, 1951 by Peron. . ' The newspaper was published as a labor organ during the Peron regime in its old format, but its contents were a sham. Slory on Founder . On the left of today's front page was a big picture and story on Ezequiel Paz, the founder of La Prensa. , In the center was a story on the 104th anniversary of -the overthrow of Spanish tyrant Juan Manuel de Rosas' in the battle of Caseros on Feb. 3, 1852 and a notation by Gainza Paz that celebration of Rosas' defeat was never observed'under Peron. :. On the right was an, inter view with President Pedro Eu genio Aramburu by Frank H. Bartholomew, president of the United Press in which Arambu ru welcomed La Prensa back as a free newspaper and outlined his aims toward restoring Argen tina to its pre-Peron place in the world. Below the fold was an' edi torial entitled "For the Defense of Freedom." The rest was de voted to foreign news which covered 18 columns on several pages. . - Portland Faces Wood Shortage In Cold Portland (U.R) Fuel dealers in Portland today reported a se rious shortage of wood fuels in the area as a' result of the pro tracted cold spell,. Oil briquets and coal are still in good supply, however;' . .' ; . j Dealers said the cold snap had put a heavy drain on supplies of presto logs and sawdust and de liveries could not be promised for about six weeks or even two or three ; months. Many ,; home owners were driving from deal er to dealer, picking up presto logs wherever they could, c"; ; In addition to the! heavy ..de mand,' dealers said high water on the Willamette . and frozen mill i ponds had resulted in closure of a number of ; mills whichr furnish the fuel as by products to the Portland area. 'Supplies of wood, used by many as presto-logs and sawdust become .scarce, have been de pleted and, in some cases, ex hausted, dealers said. Temperatures in Portland have not gone above freezing since Monday at 3 p.m. ; , i with President .Eisenhower this week a "step by step relaxation to bring trade with Red China on a par with that of Soviet Russia." Eden faced nearly 300 report ers from many countries during a farewell press conference at the National Press Club. He. an swered many questions, gave un responsive replies to others, and dodged some hot ones. For example, Eden was asked whether he had any thoughts on the recent "brink of war" con troversy, sparked by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Reporters Laugh "No, sir," Eden responded, sit ting down on the arm of a chair for a moment as the room rocked with laughter. The - Prime Minister volun teered at the outset of his con ference that his meetings with President Eisenhower "did ex ceed my expectations." The White House talks, he said, dis closed a "very wide measure of agreement." '. . Eden also-touched ' on these bther international subjects: - Middle East: Britain is ready to support moves to give the U.N. truce supervisory team, in Pales tine more guards. There is close agreement between the United Stats and Britain on the need to discuss ways of "discouraging any aggression" in that region. The Washington talks should be greeted with relief by all m the area because of the American British stand: "against hostil ities." . Dodges Formosa Issue Formosa: He declined to spell out what action Britain would take if Formosa and the out lying Pescadores : Islands were attacked by Red China. He also dodged a question about Brit ain's support for - Red China's membership in the United Na tions. J Soviet policy: Moscow's main current at the moment is based on "penetration" of other coun tries by non-military means. The best way to counter the Soviet policy was spelled out in the Eden-Eisenhowet "Declaration of Washington" which proposed that living standards be develop- ALL THESE; FEATURES, OF THE ; FUTURE! ; .

Khrushchev-Bulganin visit: The Prime Minister said he did not "regard it as a bad thing" to have the two Soviet leaders visit Britain this spring. He said it was only right that "We should talk . with those with whom we disagree . . . There's always a chance, rather remote, that some sparks might come to light a candle which would help us all.". Leaves for Ottawa Eden will leave for Ottawa today. . Eden talked , directly to the nation Thursday night in a ra-dio-TV broadcast. He said his three days of conferences with President Eisenhower about world problems demonstrated again the priceless "spirit of unity" between Britain and the United States. He called that unity one of the great aids to world peace. Eden said the meetings were successful largely - because Mr. Eisenhower had his "eye on the ball all the time." He said the President was in "excellent health." . Eden sat at a table before TV cameras with his. hands fold ed before him and spoke in formally in his clipped British accent. . : . He said differences between the' United States and Britain often" make headlines but that usually Anglo-American rela tions run smoothly. It is "unwise to get excited" every time "something goes a little wrong," he said." Eden said the two allied na tions must - "take every oppor tunity we can to try to loosen up some of the rigid barriers that divide the world today." Eden addressed the House and Senate in separate talks Thurs day. He told, applauding law makers that Britain no longer needs U. S. economic aid. He said that "part from, a measure of defense aid, we now stand on our . own feet" and. "intend to continue to do so." f MARKET It , - 1202 North Rivertid. A 1 OPEN EVERY J & NIGHT.
