Khrushchev Drunk At Moscow Party, Reports Declare London (U.R) British press reports quoted Washington sources today as reporting that Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev got drunk and insulted Western guests "both by nationality and person ality" at a Moscow reception last week. The press reports said Khrush chev "became so drunk at a of ficial party in the Kremlin last week that he publicly insulted representatives of Britain, the United States, France and otherare compounded. countries.' A Foreign Office spokesman declined to comment in detail, but said "There is no reason to believe anyone was insulted.' Twining Shouted Down The Daily Mail said Khrush chev "shouted down Nigel Birch British air minister, and Gen. Nathan Twining, U.S. Air Force chief of staff. Marshal Nikolai Bulganin was almost as drunk." "Throughout the speeches, So viet Defense Minister Marshal Georgi Zhukov looked pale and anxious," the Daily Mail said. "Some observers believe the in cident could lead to a crisis in the Kremlin." The Daily Telegraph carried a similar account from its Wash ington correspondent. It said the incidents occurred during a reception given by Zhu kov on the occasion of the Soviet Air Show to which Western air chiefs were invited. Human Sight Held Old At About Age 52 Berkeley, Calif. U.R) Three University of California optome trists recently reported that hu man sight ages much faster than scientists have thought. Optometrists have long be lieved that human sight gets as old as it ever will by the age of about 60, but the Berkeley re searchers report their study pushes the terminal date ahead to around 52. They have been studying a condition known as "presbyo pia," or old sight, characterized by a loss of ability to focus on close objects. This loss of ability begins in most people by the time they reach their middle for ties. The degree of old sight is measured by determining the in dividual's shortest distance of clear vision. The shorter this distance is. the greater is the ability of the eye to focus. Very young eyes have the greates fo cusing ability, but as the indi vidual gets older, he is less and less able to focus. Eventually, the lens of the eye can no longer change and old sight has reached its maximum.- The three making the study on 106 men and women were Dr. Elwin Marg. assistant professor of physiological optics and op tometry; Dr. Duco'Hamaski, a teaching assistant, and Dr. Jim Ong, former graduate student. Their findings were published in the American Journal of Op tometry. The number of trucks on the nation's highways has risen from 10,000 to 10,000,000 dur ing the past 45 years.

Davenport's Portrait Among Estate Ashland Take river pirates, pioneer settlers, a vacationing college professor from Southern Oregon college, and a lost por trait of the founder of a large city, mix them well together and you have the ingredients from which taies stranger than fiction One hundred and eleven years ago on July 4, . 1845, Colonel George Davenport, for whom the city of Davenport, Iowa, was named, was murdered by river pirates at his home on Arsenal island. Before the colonel's death, ac cording to Dr. Arthur S. Taylor, former Aledo resident, and for the last 30 years a member of the faculty at Southern . Oregon college, a Swiss immigrant Riot Fear Cancels Rock rn Roll Concert Jersey City, N.J. (U.R) City officials, fearful of a repetition of teen-ager riots, have cancelled plans for a rock 'n roll concert Friday night which was to have featured bandleader Paul White man as master of ceremonies. Mayor Bernard Berry and two city commissioners rejected the concert plan Monday after con ferring with Whiteman and the concert promoter, Ed Otto Jr. Berry said the decision to pro hibit the concert was linked to other rock 'n roll sessions which wound up in riots. The concert was slated for Roosevelt Stadium, which seats 24.000 persons. Whiteman said after the con ference that Friday night's event "was to be a concert," nothing more. The bandleader said charges that rock 'n roll music touches off teen-age riots were exag gerated. Woodbur Youth, 18, Fined After Mishap Alfred H.

Come to the Top Notch Cafe Next to Craterian Beauty Shop Left to SOC named Peter, Britt, who lived at Highland, III., for a short time, painted Colonel ' Daven port's portrait Dr. Taylor, now chairman of the division of social sciences, was visiting at the home of his brother, Fred S. Taylor, of Ale- do, when the story came to light. Becomes Wealthy "Peter Britt," as related by Dr. Taylor in an article appear ing in the Davenport newspaper. The Daily Times, "went from here to Oregon and became wealthy as a result of mining, phtography, and other ventures. He died in 1907, leaving several children. The last one, Amelia Britt, died recently, leaving the bulk of the Britt estate to South ern Oregon college. The bequest included the portrait of Colonel Davenport." When contacted by Iowa state officials regarding the painting, Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson, presi dent of Southern Oregon col lege, assured them it would be cleaned, crated carefully, and shipped to Davenport as soon as the legal formalities involved in the settlement of the estate had been closed, thus ending a search of more than 100 years by citi zens of Davenport. Presently stored at Southern Oregon college, the painting bridges more than a century and 2,000 miles of historical events. Miss Mary Hanley, curator of the Jacksonville museum, and Miss Marion Ady, chairman of the SOC art department, and a committee of Southern Oregon historians, examined the work and declared it to be "beauti fully executed and in fine condi tion," although some cleaning will have to be done. Dr. Taylor is at the state uni versity Teacher's college at One onta, N.Y., where he is conduct ing summer session classes in the social sciences. He has long been active in the Oregon His torical Society and has written a number of magazine, book, and educational articles in his field, as well as being co-author of a social science textbook.
