(International) State Department Reaffirms Ban On Americans Visiting Red China Washington !U.R) The State Department has reaffirmed its blanket ban on permitting American newsmen or other citizens to visit Red China. The department said the ban will be continued as long as Red China holds Americans "as poli tical hostages." The department issued a for mal policy statement on travel in Red China Tuesday after the Peiping regime invited 15 Ameri ican newsmen to visit the Chi nese mainland. The department said the United States welcomes free ex change of information between countries. But it said the Chinese Communist regime by "taking American citizens into captivity and holding them in effect as political hostages . . . has created a special impediment." Claim Agreement Broken The department said Red Chi na still is holding 11 American citizens despite an agreement last Sept. 10 to free all Ameri cans "expeditiously." It said 10 of the Americans are in Red Chi nese prisons. "So long as these conditions continue it is not considered to be in the best interests of the United States that Americans should accept the Chinese Com munist invitation to travel in Communist China," the depart ment said. The ripnartment took the posi tion that it has no way to protect Americans who travel in nea Phina affainct arrpst Or Other mistreatment by the Commu nists. Prisoners Named Th. Americans held in Red China include The Rev. Alex Houle, San Francisco; Robert McCann, Altedena, Calif.; and The Rev. Charles Joseph Me Carthy, San Francisco. Annual Roundup Will Open With Horse Parade Friday The Jackson county 14th An nual Rogue River Roundup will open with a horse parade Friday and the main parade Saturday afternoon. Roundup queen. Miss Verna Hickman of Eagle Point, will reign with her court throughout the Roundup. As one of the several hundred professional rodeos approved each year by the Rodeo Cow boys' association, the Roundup will be conducted under nation ally recognized rules with each dollar won in competition here counting one point in the stand ings for the annual world cham ploships. Purse Listed The rodeo has put up a purse of $200 for each of the five standard professional events, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, bulldogging, and calf roping. All entry fees will be added to the purse. Furnished Slock ' Stock this year will be furnish ed by Max Barbour, producer of the Roundup. In professional bareback bronc riding the rider has only a sim ple leather handhold on a sur cingle, no saddle or rein. He must spur the horse over the point of the shoulders on the first jump out of the chute, and should spur to the end of the ride to win. He must hang on for eight seconds and cannot touch the horse or the rigging with his free hand. In calf roping the contestant works against a stop watch. He tries to rope. a calf, dismount, flank the calf, and tie any three feet together in the shortest time possible. If he carries two loops made up into the arena he gets two tries. To make a qualified ride the saddle bronc rider must spur the horse out of the chute as in bareback riding and remain on for eight or ten seconds, depend ing on the rules agreed on here. The rider has only a rough braided rope rein to hang onto. Bulldogging In bulldogging, the steer wrestler drops from the saddle of the horse to the horns of a steer, brings it to a stop and twists it down until all four legs are pointed out free. The con testant has a helper riding on the opposite side of the animal so it will run straight. In the brahma bull riding the rider has only a loose rope with out knots or hitches that is held around the bull solely by the pressure of the rider's grip. He must ride for eight seconds with one hand free. Joe Holmes will be the an nouncer for the events, Teddy Billings of California will be the clown and bull fighter, while Lyn and Jimmy Merri of Red Bluff, Calif., will do trick riding and roping.

Counter-Charges Hurled in Sinking New York-OJ.P.) The Swedish American Line and the Italian Line, traded accusations of blame today for the Andrea Doria Stockholm collision and sinking of the Italian luxury liner. The international counter charges to be fought out in United States district court also clashed over whether the July 25 disaster occurred in heavy fog or on a moonlight night. The Swedish line, in its peti tion filed Tuesday in federal court, charged that the tragedy was caused solely by the fault and neglect of the Andrea Doria which turned directly into the path of the Stockholm on a moonlight night. The Italian Line immediately countered that the collision was caused by the Stockholm which made a severe right turn without sounding proper signals in con siderable fog at the time. In its petition, the Swedish line requested exoneration for any blame and limitation of lia bility. It also said it would sue the Italian Line for damages and losses. Both lines feared that damage suits to be brought against them might total more than $11,000, 000. Fifty-two persons are feared dead in the disaster. Twenty-five were known to be dead, includ ing five Stockholm crew mem bers. The other 27 have never been accounted for. McKay Urges Change In Timber Regulations Portland OI.R) Douglas McKay, Republican candidate for U. S. senator, yesterday urg ed changes in forest service tim ber sale regulations to lighten the economic pressure on small logging and mill operators. McKay said he has requested department of agriculture ac tion to let purchasers of nation al forest " timber post bonds guaranteeing payment. They are currently required to put up cash. McKay said the problem is not as acute on Oregon and Californ ia land grant forests operated by the bureau of land management. Current BLM regulations call for advance payments ranging from one-fifth to one-fourth of the value of the timber sale. Since sales are mostly small, this has not imposed an over whelming economic burden on purchasers. However McKay said BLM is considering new regula tions which would require ad vance payments of only 10 per cent of the contract value. 'Hit or Miss' Land Planning Said To Be On Way Out Chicago (U.R) "Hit-or-miss" land) planning is on the way out, according to Walter H. Dreier, president of the Unit ed States Savings and Loan League, and modern subdividing methods are fast taking its place. Entire communities are now being built with their own schools, churches, parks and shopping centers, and in a way that will enable them to main tain their appeal 20 years hence. "Today's land planning," JJreier said, "takes off from the basic truth that a house is not sufficient unto itself but is a part of a neighborhood, which in turn, is part of a city or town. The enduring quality and value of that single property, there fore, depends as much on its surroundings as on its design and construction. "The properly conceived sub division is either a self - contain ed neighborhood in itself, or a part of such entity." In a booklet released by the league, recommendations were made that land-planners observe a set of general principles in starting new developments. The selected site must have good natural drainage, that is, near water lines, sanitary and storm sewers, electricity and gas, and free from adverse environ mental conditions such as air ports, railroad tracks, or adja cent "cheap" subdivisions. Specific areas should be de signated for schools, churches, parks, recreation, shopping, single-family dwellings, rental housing, etc. Street patterns should be es tablished that are adequate for local driving conditions, yet dis courage through-traffic. Residential lots must offer adequate drainage and useable land at both the front and rear, and lot lines should be at ap proximately right angles to the street or radial to a curved street and generally straight. Houses should vary in their placement on lots by increas ing or decreasing the building setback, and by making sc variations in sideyards. In installing utilities, power line poles should be at the back of the lots, with service lines brought i underground into the houses. Street light mains should be underground, and a central sewer system should be used in stead of septic tanks, with storm sewers separated from the sani tary sewers. " Morse Says McKay Right for FirsfTime Eugene (U.R) U.S. Senator Wayne Morse told an audience here yesterday that Dougl McKay's charge in 1952 that "Morse Is too liberal for the Re publican party" was "absolute ly 'right." "But," Morse told the con ference of the Willamette Val ley Central Labor Council, "that's the only thing my oppon ent has said about me that's true." Senator Morse is seeking re election as a Democrat. McKay is his Republican opponent. Morse described the growth of social security under Dem ocratic leadership as "one of the liberal actions that has form ed the very foundations of our capitalist system." On the water power issue, the senator described the defeat of a federal dam at Hells Canyon as a "tragedy," saying that a change to a Democratic admin istration was the only chance to save it. UO Dental School Starts Operations Portland (U.R) The Uni versity of Oregon dental school was , in operation today in its new $2,500,000 home next to the medical school campus In the hills of West Portland.

MARKET II 1202 North Riverside l OPEN EVERY L Vk NIGHT TIL M MIDNIGHT jAR Feeling Mixed Over Refusal for Newsmen To Visit Red China By UNITED PRESS American newspapers had mixed feelings today about the State Department refusal to is sue passports to U.S. newspa permen invited by the Peiping government to tour Communist China. The New York Times said "we are sorry that the State Depart ment has taken this position. We do not believe that American reporters for non-Communist pa pers visiting Russia and other Communist dominated countries have done us any harm. We do believe, and always have be lieved, that facts are pure and incorruptible, and in the long run the more we can know about this world the more intelligently we can work for freedom and justice ... We do not believe that anything but good could come out of the honest reporting that we presume these reporters would do." The New York Daily News took the other view that the State Department gave "the right answer to an impudent Red Chinese attempt to make propa ganda and obligate the United States to invite some of Pei- Hodge Clears Friend of Part In Embezzlement Springfield, 111. (U.R) A sickroom statement by deposed State Auditor Orville Hodge, key figure in a million-dollar check scandal,, today cleared a friend who apparently commit ted suicide in disillusionment. Hodge, under indictment in the state check case, gave a deposition Tuesday night clear ing H. Kendall Olds, his long time friend and press agent, of any complicity in the scandal, t Body Found in Lake Olds' body was found floating in Lake Springfield last week, and an inquest into his death was scheduled for today. Hodge's statement was to be read at the hearing. Coroner W. C. Telford went to Hodge's plush Lake Spring field home to obtain the depo sition Tuesday night. He found the deposed politician in bed, clad in pajamas and robe. His voice shook, and Telford said he was "really shot terribly depressed." A psychiatrist who said that Hodge was suffering from a con dition akin to "battle fatigue" had advised against the former state auditor's testifying" in per son at the inquest. - Telford said he only wanted to know whether Hodge had seen Olds on the night of his death. Hodge said he had not, then went on to say that Olds had nothing to do with the em bezzlement of state funds for which Hodge has been indicted. ping's press persons over here in return.", The New York Post said the State Department announcement "dramatizes anew the depart ment's limitless capacity for making America look foolish and frightened." It said "Does anyone seriously believe the ar rival of informed, experienced journalists in China will provide new moral sanction for that re gime? Does the department doubt the ability of American correspondents to visit a dicta torship without being hopelessly infected by it?" Injured Mount Hood Climbers 'Doing Well' Portland (U.RV- Hospital at tendants reported here tndav that the four youths still hospi talized who were ininrpH inn fall into a Mt.
