Reminder Issued To
Valley Wool Growers
Harry E. Martin, office man
ager for the Jackson County
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation committee, has is
sued a reminder to wool grow
ers on requirements of sales
documents needed for 1956 pull
ed wool applications.
Since payment can be made
only on unshorn lambs, it is
necessary that such lambs be
clearly identified on sales doc
uments as to number and pounds
of live weight, he said.
Each sales document support
ing the application must cover
lambs sold by the applicant and
must show the name and ad
dress of seller, date of sale, num
ber of unshorn lambs sold, live
weight of unshorn lambs sold,
name and address of purchaser
or marketing agency issuing the
sales documents and signature by
or on behalf of the person or
firm issuing the sales document.
Acceptable signatures can con
sist of at least one initial or
name by which the person is
generally known, followed by
his last name in full, Martin
said. A carbon impression or
facsimile of a handwritten sig
nature is not acceptable.

Representative Gets
Letter of Warning
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY)
says he has received a letter
warning, in substance, "Don't be
surprised if you receive a bomb
in your mail."
He turned the letter over to
the Justice Department immedi
ately after receiving it last Fri
day. The department referred
it to its Civil Rights division.
Powell, a Negro, said the writ
er criticized his stand on civil
rights legislation, particularly
his stand "against racial discrim
ination." He told newsmen Friday that
the lengthy typewritten letter
purported to come from the
"Protestant Teachers Council"
and was signed "Mary A. Healy,
521 Fifth Ave., New York City."
Salem Radio Station
To Change Letters
Salem (U.R) Earle Headrick,
manager of Salem radio sta
tion KGAE, said Saturday the
station's call letters will be
changed to KGAY starting Mon
day the station will be known
as "Radio Kay-Gay."
The station tried to get the
KGAY call letters when it was
started four years ago by Gordon
Allen, but at that time the let
ters were assigned to a Treasury
Department revenue cutter. The
boat has since been laid up.
Headrick said the station also
has a request pending before
the Federal Communications
Commission to increase its pow
er from 1.000 to 5,000 watts.
without incident. It was disclos
ed that the five other inspectors
had gone to Panmunjom earlier
in the week.
U.S. Army helicopters and
Air Force transports flew the
16 remaining Polish, Czech,
Swiss and Swedish oficers, then
records and baggage, from three
South Korean ports of entry
cities to the Panmunjom head
quarters of the neutral nations
Supervisory Commission.
Interviews Declined
There was indication any of
the inspectors put up resistance
to their eviction but newsmen
were not permitted to inter
view them before they were
whisked away.
The U.N allies ordered the in
spectors out of the Republic of
Korea's territory. They said the
inspection system had become a
farce with the Communists in
North Korea evading inspectors
and violating the truce at will.
The neutral commission offer
ed to pull its three inspection
teams out of North Korea, too,
but the Communist high com
mand insisted the inspectors be
permitted to go back to either
side for spot checks on reports
of illegal arms imports.
The U.N. command refused to
agree to the condition
Predicts Hydrogen
Power for Peace
Chicago (U.R) Dr. Ed
ward Teller, known as the "fa
ther" of the hydrogen bomb,
predicted Friday that the tre
mendous power of the H-bomb
will some day be harnessed for
peacetime uses.
He did not speculate when
this might occur, but said it
would solve the world's fuel
problems.
Teller said the chief problem
is a lack of scientific personnel
to study the problem of control
ling a thermonuclear reaction in
the manner that atomic fission
is now harnessed in peacetime
reactors.

Russian Church !
eaders Booed
Philadelphia U.R) Eight
visiting Russian church leaders
were booed and jeered Friday
by an estimated 200 demonstra
tors in front of Independence
hall.
The Soviet churchmen enter
ed the hall to inspect the Lib
erty Bell ' after 40 policemen
cleared a path for them through
the crowd. Most of the demon
strators represented the Inter
national Council of Christian
Churches headed by Dr. Carl
Mclntyre, of Collingswood, N.J.
Mclntyre led the shouting
crowd and. accused the Russian
clergymen of "using the church
es as a tool for Communist pur
poses.
In a statement distributed to
bystanders, Mclntyre said the
Christian people "must hold the
National Council of Churches
accountable for this deed."
"The council has brought
these men to our shores and is
parading them around the
churches as respectable Christ
ian gentlemen when indeed they
are agents of the Kremlin fol
lowing the party line," Mclntyre
said.
The Russian clergymen are
touring the United States on a
reciprocal visit in return for the
tour of Russian by Nine U. S.
churchmen last March. -
Anti-Communists Face Trial;
Action Unique in Swiss History
Red demands that the four
men be extradited for trial in
Romania were rejected by Swiss
authorities.
Bern, Switzerland (U.R)
Four young Romanian anti-Communists
who seized and held
Red Romania's legation here for
more than a day and a half, go
on trial Monday in an action
unique in Swiss history.
The 10 counts against them
range from charges of "premed
itated manslaughter" to "politi
cal intelligence."
Oliviu Beldeanu, Stan Codres
cu, Jan Chirila and Dumitru
Ochiu were the center of world
attention in February, 1955,
when they seized the Bern lega
tion as a protest against the
"Communist reign of terror," in
Romania.
Their trial would be a rela
tively perfunctory matter if it
were not for the fact that Aurel
Setu, a legation chauffeur, was
fatally shot by the young "in
vaders."
Besieged 39 Hours
Swiss police backed up by
tanks besieged the refugees in
Esfimafe 4,000 Cars
For Pear Shipment
The year 1956-57 will see the
second highest movement of po
tatoes from Oregon if the "gues
stimates" made late in May by
Oregon's federal-state shipping
point supervisors reach their
mark.
The eight men say 21,190 cars
of potatotes will be inspected
ending June 30, 1957.
The total inspection of fruits,
vegetables and nuts for the year
should reach 34,470, according
to shipping point supervisors
This should make the 1956-57
shipping season the fifth highest
year. '
Walter D. Jensen, Medford
supervisor, estimates that 4,150
cars will move out of Medford
during the year. Of the estimat
ed total,, he says 4,000 will con
tain pears; 60 onions; 50 potatoes
and 40 peaches. This estimate
comes within 200 cars of tripling
1954-55, which was considered
poor pear year.

a Catholic priest persuaded them
to surrender.
Some 49 witnesses, including
a number of prominent Roma
nian refugees now living in the
United States, Britain or France,
are scheduled to testify at the
trial in Bern's town hall. It is
expected to last 10 days.
No trial in Swiss history ever
attracted such wide attention.
The defense has arranged to
have the German-language pro
ceedings translated into French
for the benefit of foreign corres
pondents, but was unable to fi
nance translation into English.
The maximum sentence possi
ble against the four defendants
is life imprisonment In Switz

known.
Beldeanu, Codrescu, Chirila
and Ochiu left Romania one by
one after World War II to es
cape Red terror in their home
land. They met through mutual
friends in Konstanz, Germany,
where they planned their "com
mando raid."
They purchased pistols and a
submachine gun and concealed
them in the car.
Chauffeur Slain
The four men hoped to slip
unnoticed into the legation dur
ing the early hours of Feb. 15,
but they were discovered by
Setu. Codescu touched the trig
ger of the submachine gun and
the chauffeur went down with
six bullets in his body.
The masked raiders roused the
other occupants of the legation,
including Charge d'Affaires
Emeric Stoffel, and forced them
out of the building at pistol
point.
They forced Setu's widow to
remain, and the charge that they
bound her bands provides one
of the counts in the indictment
against them.
They ransacked and burned
Communist files in the legation.
Ochiu was caught in an attempt
to flee the building with a
bundle of diplomatic papers, giv
ing rise to a charge of "political
intelligence" against the raiders.

Time was when teen-agers, eager io shatter the
shackles of parental control, threw anything and
everything connected with childhood right out the
window. Milk, once their favorite beverage, was
usually among the first things that had to go.
Today' teen-agers, however, are worlds wiser.
They know that growing up is a matter of how
you act, not what you drink. And they realize that
milk is simply too good to pass up at any age.
As they so characteristically
put it: "Gulp 5 goblets of
moo-juice every sun-up,
son!" This, when freely
translated, means . . .
