Molotov Out
Suspect He Openly Questioned Policy
By DONALD J. GONZALES
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.PJ Ex
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov was plainly out of step
with his new bosses and had to
be dumped on the eve of Mar
shal Tito's much heralded visit
to Moscow. Americans officials
said Saturday.
Evidence has piled up for
months that the 68-year-old Mol
otov was on his way out as for
eign minister. Some officials
here .have suspected that he op
enly questioned the new Soviet
foreign policy line and was re

Yugoslav Marshall
Tito Gels Hero's
Welcome by Reds
First Visit in 10
Years to Moscow
Moscow (UP.) Yugoslav
Marshal Tito arrived in Moscow
Saturday to receive a hero's
welcome and a handclasp from
V. M. Molotov. Tito declared the
fates of Yugoslavia and Russia
are "inseparable" now that the
"tragic" Stalin era split has been
mended.
He was met by Molotov, who
prefaced the Yugoslavs leaders'
18-day friendship visit by resign
ing as foreign minister Friday
night. It was Molotov who sign
ed Stalin's 1948 declaration ex
pelling Tito from the now de
funct cominform.
Molotov's successor, Pravda
Editor Dmitri Shepilov, also was
in the top-level welcoming party
that greeted Tito as a "dear com
rade" on his first visit to the
Soviet capital in 10 years.
Russians Cheered
A throng of Russians cheered.
A brass band blared, and a Red
Army honor guard stood at stiff
attention as the Yuogslav presi
dent, resplendent in his mar
shal's uniform, descended from
his special train at the Kiev sta
tion. Tito warmly shook hands with
the Soviet leaders. He then set
out to put the final seal on the
healing of the seven-year-split
with Russia which began when
Tito refused to accept Stalin's
dictation on Yugoslav internal
affairs.
Shortly after his arrival, Tito
paid a call on Supreme Soviet
President Klimenti Voroshilov.
He was accompanied by Yugo
slav Vice-President Edward Kar
delj and Foreign Minister Koca
Popovic.
The Yugoslav leaders met for
about 30 minutes with Voroshil
ov and a Soviet delegation that
included new Foreign Minister
Shepiloy. -

Two Youths Drown
When Idaho Dam
Breaks Near Howe
Two Men Saved From
Flooded Camp Site
By UNITED PRESS
Two 13-year-old boys became
Idaho's first 1956 flood fatalities
Friday when .the Little Lost
river burst through the Dry
Creek dam 50 miles northwest
of Howe and poured down on
the spot where the boys were
camping.
The boys were identified as
George and Gerald Whitworth,
cousins. Two men who had been
camping with the boys escaped
death, but the water which
poured through the broken dam
killed some livestock and flood
ed about 2,000 acres of pasture
land.
Idaho military and Civil De
fense leaders described the up
per Snake river flood situation
as "under control but still crit
ical" after completing an aerial
inspection of the area Friday.
The Kootenai river in northern
Idaho kept rolling along at a
level four feet above flood level
and continues to threaten the
town of Bonners Ferry.
Continues to Rise
The Snake already had inun
dated or isolated more than 2,
000 acres of farm land in the
Heise-Roberts area and was
rising to higher flood ' levels
steadily.
In north Idaho, waters from
the Kootenai stood, on more
than IS. 000 acres of lands which
at one time had been protected
by;. dikes. Levees which . had
been breached in the Nystrom
area north of Bonners Ferry
Tuesday gave way some more
Friday, and flood waters poured
uncontrolled over 950 acres of
land behind the broken dike.
The Kootenai was expected to
hold its same 35.4 foot level on
the Bonners Ferry gauge through
Sunday and then start dropping
slightly by Monday.
Foreign Ministers
Set U. S. Visits
Washington (U.P.) Presi
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles are
heading into a gruelling round
of international meetings which
have assumed new importance
in the wake of the change of for
eign . policy leadership in Mos
cow.
Within the next five weeks,
Washington will be host to In-
diam Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru, German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer, French Foreign
Minister Christian Pincau, and
Canadian Foreign Minister Les
ter B. Pearson. Alt of them have
visited Moscow wi;hin the last
year.
During the forthcoming high-
level diplomatic conferences,
President Eisenhower and Dulles
are sure to be put under heavy
pressure by their visitors to
agree to new Big Four meetings
with Russia to test Soviet policy,
on Germany and other key
issues, now that Molotov has
been dumped.
The White House declined
comment on the Kremlin switch.
The State Department had no
official comment, pending
Dulles' return. But diplomatic
experts privately forecast no
radical change in Soviet foreign
policy.
This is a fine present for
Tito," one high ranking diplo
mat said.
When the top Russian leaders
made their apologetic trek to
Belgrade a year ago, Molotov
stayed home and Pravda Editor
Shepilov went along.
A few weeks later, Shepilov
suddenly appeared in Egypt as
chief of a ceremonial mission.
The Cairo visit came at the time
of the historic Egyptian-Soviet
bloc talk on arms.
When the agreement for sale
of Red jet planes and other mod
ern equipment was signed,
many Western diplomats believ
ed Shepilov had played a key
behind the scene role in the
deal.

Approve56-57 Budget
Medford school district voters
Friday passed the 1956-57
school budget by a count of 601
to 150 probably the largest
budget election . turnout in
school history, district officials
reported Saturday.
The overwhelming approval
was given a budget which call
ed for about 5200,000 more for
the coming year than last year.
The spending proposal totals
$1,992,437.11.
The increase was made nec
essary by an increased number
of students, more buildings to
operate, higher salaries for tea
chers, and other increased op
erating costs. This is the last
year the Medford school district
will operate Medford schools
only. Kenwood, Dewey, West

Water Withdrawn
From MIT Ditches .
Water has been withdrawn
from the Medford Irrigation dis
trict's eastside ditches at least
until Monday or Tuesday, ac
cording to Jack Hoffbuhr, dis
trict manager.
The action was made neces
sary by recurring flash floods re
sulting from thundershowers
last week, he said. One such
flash flood on May 18 washed
out a flume and a section of
canal, and repairs only recently
were completed. The danger of
similar wash-outs resulted in
withholding the water.
No irrigation water users are
in need of water over the week

caused the flash floods, Hoff
buhr explained.
ized its economic agencies in a
sweeping decentralization o f
government ; functions, Moscow
Radio reported today.
The broadcast said the move
was made in accordance with
policy decreed by the recent 20th
Communist Party Congress.
It takes administrative func
tions out of the hands of the
Central Government and places
them with the governments of
the various antonomous Soviet
Republics.
Ministry Abolished
The Ministry of Justice was
abolished to end "unnecessary
centralization in governing the
operation of the legal institutions
and authorities of justice in the
Union Republics," the announce
ment said.
The functions of the USSR
Ministry of Justice will now be
carried , out by the separate
states, according to Radio Mos
cow, "thus increasing the role
of the Union Republics in this
matter."
Previously, all courts were
centered in Moscow.
- The Central Justice agencies
and the smaller courts in the
republic recently have been
criticized by Communist party
leaders for certain "illegalities"
during the reign of the late
Premier Josef Stalin.
Campaign Launched
A sweeping campaign was
launched to right the legal
wrongs of the Stalin-era courts,
including the release of political
prisoners.
Soviet leaders also have an
nounced their intention of clar
ifying certain laws to tighten
the operations of the Justice
agencies and "protect the rights
of Soviet citizens."
The announcement said
legal commission has been set
up under the USSR Council of
Ministers to codify and system
atize Soviet laws.
The broadcast also revealed
decentralization of the govern
ment's economic functions.
Central agencies for many
light industries and trades, for
procurement and for retail trade
have been disbanded and their
duties transferred to their coun
terparts in the various republics.
the announcement said.
The decentralization was de
signed to increase efficiency of
management and to give the re
publics' a greater voice in the
administration of socialized func
tions, according to the broad
cast.

Farm Land Flooded
Portland ttl.B Forecast
ers Saturday said Portland and
Vancouver, Wash., will get a
foot more water today than was
originally expected as the Co

climb.
By midweek the river is ex
pected to level off but weather
bureau officials weren't predict

however, that the 27 feet at
Vancouver, forecast for Tues
