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.

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?"
