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.
The prospects' of failure to
achieve peace ore too liorribh?,
he said.

Rejects Summit Meeting .
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

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.

j ast night at a planning commis-
sion meeting.
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

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.

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
