S. Will Oppose Through World Body Washington iu.R) Presi O dent Eisenhower said today this country will oppose through the United Nations any "dispatch of Russian or Chine; arms or of "volunteers" to the Middle 'East. .., The United States, Mr. Eisen-huw-er said, will nuit undertake to decide by itself whether such an offense against peace had been committed. . As to w'hat'the United Nations might do, the President pointed out that the United Nations is not limited to adopting 'resolu tion. Apparently he had the Korean war in mind, although he "did not say" so, The President answered ques tions at; today's new conference cautiously. He said thr is need trT such caution in public state nipnU"at!thise time lest" delicate UN aciiotiations be jipset. President Solemn The normally smiling Presi dent was solemn today. The question, ""what are the chances II uv -for peace?" brought no quick or J optimistic answer. After a moment of reflection, he said he did not believe Jhere should be r'ulaUon on this point at this O time. s0 But he said grimly that men who caninnt nuclear weapons so powerful it would be 'suicide rr.to i them certainly should be ble to find peace.

In stating the U.S. position tovr? any such ctjon, the Pres ident cited a Nov. 5 White House st;rmcnt which he said he re ferred not merely to volunteers 5 but to "the introduction of any armed forces in the area, or O arms or ammunition." "I'm not going to say the Unit en ed State would make a unilat jeral determination of what the '(Vffense was. if any," the Presi dent said. "I believe I said in my Nov. 5 statement it would fcp the duty with the United Natfons. we would try ugain to r their supporters in any such jction." The Prrsident flatly rejected the idea of.a Big Four summit meeting on Hungary and the coddle East. He said tHis is not thetime for such a 'meeting when the United Nations is try ing to put ou the fires' abroad.

The recommendation followed a public1 hearing.. The recommendation was made to the joint city-county airport zoning board.

Those who pay their taxes Korea Troops on Emergency Alert Against Attack Seoul, Korea (U.R) Presi dent Syngman Rhee said today he had placed the Korean armed forces on an emergency alert be- cause of anti-Communist inci- dents in North Korea that could lead to Soviet intervention. Rhee, in a statement issued through the government infor mation office, said "several bombs" had been exploded re cently in North Korea and there is danger of 'drastic steps" by Russia to hold on to the satellite. Atomic Tests Indicated Rhee did not say what kind of bombs wefe exploded. His mili tary staff said recently it had evidence of two atomic tests in North Korean one last year and one this spring. Rhee said Republic of Korea military leaders have put the 700,000-man armed forces and the national police on an alert "in order to be ready to cope with any emergency that may arise from North Korea which exploded several bombs re cently ." He said the Korean people phould not become "over ex cited" as a result or the military alert, because all measures nec essary to assure ROK security has been taken. U. S. Military chiefs in the Far East, presumably with access to the same intelligence informa tion received by the ROK forces, have said they know of no proof that weapons have been intro duced or tested in North Korea.

M. T. Wray, commission chair man, said circulation of a new petition in the Berrydale area would not be necessary. Nick Gicr. chairman of a Berrydale committee formed Monday to lay plans for a new annexation attempt, presented the committee's views on sani tation problems in the area. About a dozen committee mem bers w-ere present. Plan Outlined The new plan, as outlined by Gier, involves the area of the original sanitary district. It is the same area proposed for an nexation before the planning commission expanded it prior to the general election, except for a small portion of the Elk City water district. Gier stated that the planning commission was partly respon sible for defeat of the larger Berrydale annexation proposed at the Nov. 6 elections because they expanded the original boundaries. Members of the commission pointed out that during a Sept. 25 commission meeting that some Berrydale residents present agreed that expansion of the original boundaries was a "good thing." According to a motion passed at that meeting, the commission pointed out. it was agreed that the expanded boundaries could be reduced to the original boundaries if Berrydale residents desired it. The commission did not make it mandatory that pro ponents of the Berrydale annex ation accept the expanded Regulations research at the University of Oregon, which acts as a state planning commission. Federal aid is contributed to cities with federal planning programs for 50 per cent of the projects cost. Aid is contributed to cities through the state planning com mission. The commission approved up to $200 for use by the street tree planning committee of the commission, to hire a landscape architect in connection with the development of the city tree pro gram. Wray and commission mem ber A. D. Harvey tentatively agreed to attend the convention of the League of Oregon Cities in Portland Nov. 25-28 I (See Story Page 11) on or before the Nov. 15 deadline will be eligible for a 3 per cent discount. Here are a few of the yet uncounted "deadline beaters." An estimated 33.578 tax statements were sent for the 1956-57 fiscal year. boundaries, It was explained. Clarifying the attitude o the commission towards the annexa tion of the Berrydale area to Medford. it was pointed out by commission members that they did not and were not trying to obstruct annexation. Gier requested that the com mission reconsider the original annexation plan and accept Berrydale for service as a sani tary district. Wray said the com mission could not recommend the city extend its services be yond city limits, and that "if we did it here, we would have to do it everywhere else." Before the boundaries of the area are contiguous with city limits, Gier said, a small portion of North Riverside ave. and Court st. would have to be added to the proposed annexation area linking Berrydale with Medford. Opposed to Move He said there are four resi dents on this portion of North Riverside ave., who already have been extended city services and are "bitterly opposed" to an nexation. Wray said that the commission probably would have no objection to adding por tions of the streets to the orig inal Berrydale annexation boundaries. It is also possible, Wray add ed, that city officials will attend meetings in the Berrydale area and explain to residents the im plications of annexation. City Attorney E. R. Bashaw told the Berrydale committee that it is possible a special elec tion could be called in the smal ler area, but that it could only be called by the city council. Barnett Road To Be Closed Tomorrow Barnett rd. will be closed from Ellendale ave. to the Hill-crest-Phoenix rd from about 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Thursday while a new water main across Barnett rd. at Murphy rd. is be ing installed, according to W.

Lininger and Sons, Med ford contracting company, will probably complete paving of Greenway Circle today, accord ing to Vern Thorpe, public works supervisor. Paving of the street started yesterday. Gomulka Leaves For Moscow; Unrest Grows in Poland Russian Troops Said in Country Warsaw U.R; A high rank ing Communist party and gov ernment delegation headed by Titoist party chief Tladyslaw Gomulka left today for Moscow and talks on the future of Poland. The trip by train to Moscow for the showdown talks was at invitation of Soviet Communist party leader Nikita S. Khru shchev, who paid a hurried visit to Warsaw last month when Go mulka led the move to shake up Poland's old Stalinist party and government. Signs of Unrest Their departure came amidst new and disturbing signs of un rest in the Country and uncon firmed reports of new Soviet troop reinforcements. Observers said the "resign tion"of Rokossovsky as defense minister and vice premier was an indication the present Polish leaders do not feel the Russian plan to make Poland into another Hungary. Poland has been sympathetic to Hungary in its struggle. The Poles were expected to take up three major issues with Russian leaders: 1. Relations between the Pol ish and Soviet Communist par ties, on which Gomulka is ex pected to insist on non-interference by the Soviets in Polish party policy. Troop Movements 2. Trade affairs, including the sale of one million tons of urg ently needed Russian wheat to Poland .. . 3. The movement and sta tioning of Soviet troops in Po land Gomulka was expected to insist on the right of prior agreement by the Polish govern ment before troop movements through Poland are made. The reports said seven to 10 Soviet divisions crossed into Po land from Lithuania in the last week, ostensibly en route to East Germany. But some or all were reported to have remained in Poland. Party Planned for Campaign Workers Plans for a party Saturday night to salute volunteer work ers of the United Medford Cru sade campaign were announced today by Sam Hersh, general chairman. The party will be at the large dining room at Rogue Valley Country club, and entertain ment and refreshments will be furnished without charge, Hersh said. There will be a dance be tween 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. with music furnished by volunteer musicians working on the cam paign. An appearance is scheduled by the Kiwanis Dixieland band, as well as other impromptu enter tainment. A snack bar will be furnished by the Big Y Market. Hersh said he hopes the cam paign will go over the 5117,175 goal before Saturday, so the par ty can be a "victory ball." - He urged those working on the campaign to complete solicita tions this week, but declared that if the goal is not reached, the campaign will continue un til the goal is reachced. A total of 5100,174.82, or 85.5 per cent of the goal had been reached at the Monday luncheon report. Clayton Lewis, president of Rogue Valley Country club, and George Harrington, manager, are cochairmen of the event. They are assisted by Russ Jam ison and Bill Abbott, special events division of the campaign. Proceeds will go to the United Medford Crusade. Agriculture Secretary Haj New Granddaughter Washington !U.R) Secre tary of Agriculture and Mrs. Ezra T. Benson announced the birth today of a new grand daughter.

Mayfield, superintendent, di rectors agreed to invite the state board of education to hold one of its 1957 meetings in Medford. Mayfield gave a brief report on the state board meeting held Oct. 15 in Klamath Falls. Reports on Meeting Ewaldsen reported on a re cent meeting with the Griffin Cseek school board concerning possible consolidation of the Griffin Creek and Medford school districts.
