Bulganin Calls
For Coexistence;
Khrushchev Tough
London UR) Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin called to
day for "peaceful coexistence"
between East and West. His
words were notably softer than
those used by Nikita Khrushchev
yesterday in warning the West
not to try to get tough with
Moscow.
Khrushchev warned Britain
and the West yesterday not to
try to "exert pressure'' on the
Soviet Union because "it will
J?et you nowhere."
Some Letup
Bulganin. in a speech at a
Mansion House lunch given in
honor of the Soviet leaders by
the city of London, was more
conciliatory. He noted that there
have been some recent relaxa
tions of cold war tensions.
Khrushchev had warned at a
'Soviet Embassy lunch that "We
have no intention of trying to
persuade you to accept our sys
tem and to give up the capitalist
system."
"Nor it is worth your while
wasting time in trying to per
suade us to give up our Socialist
system," the party chieftain
said. "And I think that it is also
quite plain to you that if you
try to exert pressure on us, to
demand the impossible from us,
that will get you nowhere.
There is only one way out
peaceful coexistence. There is no
other way out. Disputed ques
tions cannot be settled by war.
Khrushchev accompanied this
with accents of speedy jets, bal
listic missiles and hydrogen
bombs.
Not so Bulganin.
"We believe that an improv
ment of relations and the de
velopment of ties and contacts
must be gradual and carried out
only step by step," Bulganin
said. "Time is needed for this.
China Problem Is

Week End Weather
Outlook Held Good
By UNITED PRESS
The weather outlook for the
week-end in Oregon is good.
A high pressure ridge in the
htah levels over the Pacific
Knthwest and southwest Canada
is blocking the eastward move
ment of Pacific storms. Mostly
sunny weather with some cool
ine is expected Saturday.
Oregon had tempreatures in
the 80 s yesterday with Medford
recording 84. The Dalles 83 and
Portland and Salem 80. It was
far short of a record, however.
On Aril 20, 1934, it got up to
90 in Portland.
Meanwhile, rivers continued
to rise, and weather forecasters
were hopeful the snow runoff
would help alleviate flood dan
ger later. However, no decrease
in the expected crest of 25.5 to
28.5 feet in the Portland area
has been forecast.
Man Is Fined on
Driving Charge Here
Alfred Joseph Hardy, 36, of
1122 Sunset dr., Medford, was
fined $255 and given a 30-day
suspended jail sentence in dist
rict court this morning after he
pleaded guilty to a charge of
driving while under the influ
ence of liquor.
His right to apply for a motor
vehicle operator's license was re
voked for 90 days. Hardy was
arrested by sheriff's deputies
Thursday.
But we hope that our visit here
will lay a good beginning for
friendship and cooperation based
on the great principle of peace
ful co-existence."
Little Summit
The Bulganin plea came after
a morning session at No. 10
Downing st. between the Soviet
leaders and British officials
headed by Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden. The conference
was the second formal meeting
of the "Little Summit Talks"
being held during the 10-day So
viet visit.
When the morning session
ended Bulganin and Khrushchev
were whisked off in convoy to
the Mansion House for lunch as
guests of the city of London.
There was not a single cheer as
they left Downing- St., and they
were met with a silent, undem
onstrative crowd at the Mansion
House.
Following the lunch, the Brit
ish' and Soviet government chiefs
returned to Downing st. for their
third formal meeting.
Report of Ashland
Survey Shows Need
Of Denial Care
Ashland school children be
tween the ages of 6 and 12 need
as much more dental care as
they have already received, ac
cording to Dr. David Witter, di
rector of dental health for the
state board of health.
Dr. Witter recently completed
a dental survey among Ashland
and Medford school children in
the first, third, fifth and seventh
grades. Medford survey results
are expected to hes announced
soon.
Among Ashland 6-year-olds
Dr. Witter said there is a total
of 587 decayed, missing or filled
teeth' per 100 children'. ' Of this
total, 247 are decayed, 40 need
extracting and 300 have been
filled.
12-Year-Olds
Among 12-year-olds, a total of
936 teeth are decayed, missing
or filled per 100 children. Of
these, 721 are decayed, 114 have
been extracted or need extract
ing and 100 are filled. There are
almost 12 decayed, missing or
filled teeth per child.
In Aurora, 111., where water
contains natural fluoride, Dr.
Witter said 336 teeth are de
fective per 100 children in the
6-year-old group.
In the Aurora 12-year-old
group, 295 teeth are decayed,
missing or filled per 100 chil
dren. A total of 73 per cent of
the children have decayed, miss
ing or filled teeth and 27 per
cent are free of decay. Among
12-year-old Oregon children, only
about 3 per cent are free of
decay.
The Aurora dental health situ
ation has been established as a
goal for Ore'gon, he said.
Decayed Teeth
Of all 661 Ashland children
examined. Dr. Witter said 63
per cent have decayed perman
ent teeth needing filling; 30 per
cent have filled teeth and 7 per
cent have teeth needing extrac
tion. A total of 5,155 teeth were
affected. Of . this total, 3,954
were ' decayed and received no
dental attention, 363 permanent
and primary teeth needed ex
traction; 1,704 permanent and
primary teeth had been filled
and 134 permanent teeth needed
extraction.
Dr. Witter commented that in
Ashland oral hygene appears to
be slightly above the state aver
age. He also said there were
some indications in Ashland that
children in isolated instances are
now benefiting from some form
of fluoride.
Purpose of the survey is to
determine the extent of the
dental health problem in the
Ashland and Medford areas and
the amount of dental care chil
dren are receiving. Cooperating
in the program are Jackson
county health depatment, Ore
gon state board of health, Ash
land and Medford schools, Ash
l?nd and Medford dentists and
the Jackson county public health
j association.

William Langley today struck at
the roots of Portland's vice and
gambling uproar and ordered a
sweeping grand jury investiga
tion of ail the charges, counter
charges and denials that have
touched the city's officialdom

cal conditions.
E-R Member Resigns
One of the first results of the
series was the resignation last
night of Clyde Crosby as a mem
ber of the Exposition-Recreation
commission. He admitted pub
lished reports that he had con
cealed a criminal record in his
past while accepting the appoint
ment and in applying for a per
mit to carry firearms. He said
he was only 14 years old when
convicted on a burglary count
in Arizona.
Crosby, who is the chief offi
cial of the Teamsters Union in
Oregor, vigorously denied pub
lished charges of James B. Elk
ins, Portland nightlife figure,
that Crosby had engineered a
series of property options on the
site Crosby favored for location
of the $8,000,000 exposition
recreation center.
Langley Tells Capability
Attorney General Robert Y.
Thornton had asked permission
of Gov. Elmo Smith to intervene
in the Portland investigations
but Langlej said he was capable
of conducting the probe with
out outside intereference.
Gov. Smith conferred with
Langley for four hours yester
day and then issued this state
mentOur investigation. is . not
complete. I shall take appropri
ate action when the investiga
tion has developed sufficient
facts to establish a proper
course."

police had been investigating for
"some time" reports that out-of-state
"mobsters" were trying to
get a foothold for vice and gam
bling in Multnomah county.

20-Year Sentence
Portland U.R) Clarence
Peddicord, blind 38 -year -old
chemist who confessed last
year's bombing of the Meier &
Frank department store here,
today was sentenced to 20 years
in the state penitentiary.
Sentence was pronounced by
Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dobson.
Peddicord had admitted touch
ing off 12 sticks of dynamite in
a rest room of the store in a fu
tile attempt to extort $50,000.
He implicated his sister-in-law,
Joyce Keller, 28, who is
scheduled to be tried at a later
date on a charge that she helped
him.
Judge Dobson turned down a
plea for probation by Nicholas
Granet, Peddicord's attorney
who told the judge the crime
stemmed from Peddicord's fail
ure to adjust himself after hav
ing been stricken blind at the
age of 19 while he was repairing
a refrigerator. '

Survivors Reported
In Good Condition
Sunnyside, Utah (U.R) Three
Utah miners, tired and hungry,
came "back to life" today from
the coal-walled cavern two miles
inside the Kaiser No. 2 mine
here where they had been
trapped by a cave-in Wednesday
and once "given up as dead."
Luck experts said the odds
were "a million to one" was
with Lavell M. Golding, Lloyd
A. Heath and Joseph A. Archu
letta. Attendants at the hospital
where they were taken after
their ordeal of 38 to 42 hours
said they were "okay and in
good spirits."
As the three survivors came
out their section foreman, Joe
Otterstrom, 58-year-old father of
seven children, was still "miss
ing." A spokesman said "We
don't know yet what happened
to him."
Used Dynamite
Searchers, however, feared
that the luck that blessed Gold
ing, Heath and Archuletta had
"missed" Otterstrom and he had
been crushed or suffocated un
der the tons of rock and coal
that cascaded into the mine's
"left 13" entry Wednesday aft
ernoon.
Yesterday afternoon, rescue
workers were so convinced that
hope for all four was gone that
they used dynamite material
never employed if there is a
chance someone is below the
debris of a cave-in to fight
their way into the clogged entry.
Families Left Portals
Families of the entombed
men, accepting what they con
sidered the final word, had left
the Sunnyside tunnel portals
and gone home to prepare me
morial services, or await recov
ery of the bodies.
Last night, about 10:30 p.m.,
the 30-man crew blasting atop
the rubble heard a faint tapping
the time-honored distress sig
nal of underground miners.
However, word that signals had
been heard was withheld pub
licly by Kaiser Steel Co. officials
until 1:30 a.m. today. -
All work halted momentaritly
until the direction of the signals
was determined.
. Then, with more care than
ever, the rescuers mucked
through rock and coal until they
their replies.
Survivors Identify Selves
Golding, 39, father of four,
identified himself. Next Archu
letta, 43, father of one. Finally
Heath, 36, father of three. To
the call for Otterstrom, there
was only silence.
The Kaiser No. 2 mine, and
its companion No. 1 works
nearby, are "captive" mines
whose output goes primarily to
Henry J. Kaiser's steel works at
Fontana, Calif. About 200 miners
are employed in the tunnel.
The scene of the cave-in was
the "left 13" entry, about two
miles from the tunnel entrance.
Only access to the scene was
on the regular mine cars that
are hauled through the incline
tunnel by electric locomatives.
