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

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

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

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.' "

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.

view with President Pedro Eu

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

the world.

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-

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."
