TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tueidsy, May 22, 1318 Queen Elizabeth May Be Invited To Visit Russia London KU.P.) British ipecu- lation todiy that Queen Eliza beth may be invited to visit the Soviet Union. The speculation was touched off by an exchange of good will messages between the queen and President Klimenti Voroshilov of Russia. The messages were made pub lic by the Soviet Tass news agency Monday night. Cabinet Would Advise Informed sou cs said that if such a visit were in the offing it probably would come only after Russia had given more concrete indication it wants to end the cold war. The queen would accept such an invitation only on the advice of the cabinet. And "the cabinet could not be expected to ap prove as long as it might touch off any sort of controversy. Elizabeth signed the message "from your good friend." Cyril Hankinson, editor of Debreet's, the authority on pro tocol, said this was not unusual "The words are the correct ones to use in writing to the head of a republic," he said. Voroshilov, chairman of the presidium of the Supreme So viet, wrote his letter last month. It was brought to the queen by Premier Nikolai Bulganin and Party Secretary N i k i t a S. Khrushchev last month. t In Interest of Peace Voroshilov said the strength ening of the tis of friendship between Britain and Russia would be "in the interests of preserving peace throughout the world-" The queen said in her reply, "I take this opportunity to ex press my best wishes to you per sonally and prosperity to the Soviet peoples." Such exchanges between the British and Russian heads of state are rare. The last time was in 1945 when the late King George VI sent a message to Jo sef Stalin when the war ended. Kefauver's Senate Absenteeism Issue in Debate With Stevenson Washington (U.R) Sen. Estes Kefauver's absenteeism in the Senate was the only issue which produced anything like verbal fireworks between Adlai E. Ste venson and Kefauver in their nationally televised debate Mon day night. Otherwise, the rival Demo cratic presidential hopefuls found little to disagree over. Even the absenteeism discussion was mild in tone. Kefauver started the exchange by saying he had refrained in his campaign from personal at tacks on Stevenson. But he said he was "shocked" when Steven son recently accused him of hav ing a record of high absentee ism from Senate sessions. Kefauver did not deny the absenteeism figures Stevenson had cited but said there were reasons for the absenteeism which Stevenson should have realized. Kefauver said most of the absenteeism occurred during periods when he was conducting his crime investigation across the country, when he was out campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1952 and when he was involved in a hot reelection battle in 1954. Two American Doctors Have a Lot in Common Naples, Italy ' (U.R) Two American doctors met at a medical conference Monday and found they had a lot in common. Both were named McDon augh one James and one John. Both were married io wo men named Marie. Both had four children two boys and two girls. Both wives did needlepoint. Dr. James McDonaugh lives in Youngstown, Ohio. Dr. John McDonaugh lives in Winchester, Mass. Both the McDonaughs are gynecologists and are attend ing the international Congress of Fertility and Sterility here. He commented that Stevenson himself was frequently absent from his former post as governor of Illinois during the 1952 presi dential campaign. Stevenson replied that the fig ures he cited came from the Con gressional Quarterly. But he said he would "accept" Kefau ver's explanation of the absen teeism. Only one other time in the debate did the two candidates seem to be on the verge of a major disagreement. That oc curred when Kefauver said it was "inconsistent" to . criticize the Eisenhower administration for lagging in guided missile and nuclear weapon production and at the same time propose that nuclear tests be stopped, "as I understand my friend Gov. Stevenson has proposed." Agree on Policies Stevenson quickly retorted that while he had proposed a halt to new nuclear tests, "I never suggested halting develop ment of guided missiles ... all veapons should be developed so Lew Wallace Thanks Oregon Supporters Portland (U.R) Lew Wal lace, who withdrew from the Democratic race for governor but still received more than 100,000 votes and only narrowly missed gaining the nomination, today expressed thanks to his supporters and wished the vic torious candidates success in November. Wallace withdrew from the race when he was informed that he had a heart ailment. His name still remained on the bal lot and in the final counts he trailed State Sen. Robert Holmes by about 6,000 votes for the nomination. "I had expected a small com plimentary vote," Wallace said, "but I was amazed when I re ceived over 100,000 votes . . ." we can keep ahead of our enemies." Both candidates generally agreed in their criticisms of ad ministration foreign and domes tic policies. And they expressed similar views on the Supreme Court decision outlawing segre gation. Stevenson said the decision "expressed the conscience of the nation and certainly my own." Kefauver said the decision is the "law of the land." Both agreed intergration will require time and patience in the deep South. XeUTr, ' in centrist ta St-; venson, related several of his comments on national problems te Florida, where he and Ste venson will be opponents in a presidential primary May 29. Their debate originated in Miami. Kefauver endorsed the south central Florida flood control project. He backed Florida Gov. Leroy Collins' proposal that President Eisenhower convene a conference of state leaders to work out segregation problems. He emphasized his support for old age security programs, aim ing his remarks at the many retired persons living in Florida. Democrats Invited The day's other major politi cal news occurred in Texas where the Democratic state con vention opened. Sen. Lyndon Johnson, who recently wrested eontrol of the Text Democratic Party from Gov. Allan Shivers, personally invited Democrats who voted for President Eisen hower in 1952 when Republicans carried the state to return to the party. In another development, John son said he was not interested in heading a pre - convention caucus of southern delegates to the Democratic national conven tion to formulate the South's stand on the civil rights issue. Johnson urged southern dele gates to go to the convention with "an open mind."

McKinley at Kwajalein (U.R) Atomic of ficials disclosed today that the air-dropped hydrogen bomb lived up to its advance billing as a radioactively "sanitary" weapon.

Most of the Gold Hill Budget Hearing Scheduled Gold HillA public hearing on the 1956-57 Gold Hill budget will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday, May 7, in the city hall here. The proposed budget is $29,- 545.50, with a general fund levy of $12,128.50, an increase of $1,875 more than last year s levy. The proposed levy is with in the tax base of $12,153.10.

The building being considered for purchase was operated as a cafe at the corner of Sixth st. and Second ave. only 35 ) minutes to KLAMATH FALLS $375 plus tax Scheduled Local Service land stations throughout the re gion surrounding the proving ground "showed no significant radioactive fallout at any point outside Bikini atoll." And at Bikini atoll, the fallout was "rel atively little." However, the Kyodo News Service reported in Tokyo that the Japanese ship Mizuho Maru radioed that it found the sea 1300 miles south of the test site to be radioactive, It said a Geiger counter check showed radioac tivity of 1540 counts per minute. The vessel gave its position at the time as 8 degrees 54 minutes south latitude and 153 degrees 53 minutes east longitude, west of the Solomon Islands and 1300 miles south of Bikini. In Washington, the Atomic Energy Commission declined to comment on the Japanese report. The AEC said it could not tell what is the normal "background" radioctivity of the area, since "there have been no U. S. meas urements of radioactivity in wa ter or marine life in the area mentioned." Thus there was no radioactivity spewed into the stratosphere, where it was wide ly diffused without a heavy early fall-out. The 100-mile long radioactive cloud was reported drifting harmlessly over the open ocean north of the Marshalls. Reports from ships, planes and way to tell if the reported count was above normal. Little Damage To Island Test officials also disclosed that Namu Island, the flat pan- i cake of coral in Bikini lagoon 10,000 feet below the burst, suf fered little damage. The princi pal reason was there was rela tively mue construction on : Namu. However, instrument towers ! and other structures on nearby , islands showed the effect of the j bomb's slamming blast. Officials gave no details, but they said these structures showed varying - degree of damage, depending on j their proximity to the burst." !
