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.

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,

Alfred H. Hammond. 18,
Woodburn, was fined S55 for
having no operator's license and
S15 for failure to signal when
he appeared in district court this
morning on two separate state
police citations.
Hammond was arrested about
10 p.m. yesterday after the car
he was driving was involved in
an accident on Highway 99 near
the Rogue- Valley Ballroom. Po
lice said he was arrested for fail
ure to signal.
Police said Hammond's car
collided with one operated by
William L. Oliver, 16, of 1100
Spring st., Medford. Both cars
were traveling south on High
way 99, police said, and Ham
mond's vehicle pulled into the
outside lane, damaging fenders
and front ends of both cars.
Earlier last night, Hammond
was stopped by state police and
cited for having no operator's li

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

ing summer session classes in
the social sciences. He has long
been active in the Oregon His

a number of magazine, book,

field, as well as being co-author
of a social science textbook.

In Nevada Death
Wells, Nev. (U.R! The adopt

Los Angeles handwriting expert
faced formal murder charges to
day for the pick-ax slaying of a
California resident.
Held in the Elko county jail
at Elko was David Clark Sellers,
22, adopted son of J. Clark Sell
ers, a noted examiner of ques
tioned documents.
The youth is accused of the
slaying last week end of Paul
Brooks, 45, Mountain View,

to make his home there.
' Sellers and Brooks met In a
Wells bar a short time before the
slaying. Sellers told District At

A coroner's jury found that
Brooks died from a head wound
inflicted by a pick-ax "in the

Sawyer, who said he believed
robbery was the motive for the
slaying, filed formal murder
charges against Sellers in Justice
