Johnson. 20 Valley View drive, Medford, has ac cepted the appointment of gen eral campaign chairman for the appointment of general cam paign chairman for the 1957-58 United Medford Crusade. Wil liam H. Prentice, UMC presi dent, announced today. Johnson is manager of the lo cal General Electric company saies office in the Goldy build jng. He was ctiairman of the commercial division in the re cent UMC campaign. The divis ion quota was exceeded by more than $1,800. Johnson, who moved to Med ford 18 months ago, was born in Seattle, and graduated from the University of Washington in 1943. 1ft served as a lieutenant in the Navy on submarines and heavy cruisers for three years during World War II. He began employment with General Elec tric in Schenectady, N.Y., in 1946. Planning (o Start Johnson said he will start or ganizational planning work im mediately by appointing an assis fant chairman, and campaign committee to wdrk out general plans for next fall's campaign. He said an early start will help ensure a successful campaign and should" shorten the campaign season considerably. Members of the UMC board have expressed an opinion fav oring a shorter campaign sea son, according to Prentice, who added that this is the earliest date that a UMC campaign chairman has been named. The 1956 UMC campaign re cently exceeded its goal of $117, 175 by about $1,000. l hri)fm? Crcctiru 5 ft rjtj&k - - $ , ? f TO GET HELPERS M. D.

Satellites Must Be Independent, Secretary Says Washington (U.R) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said today a review of the Western powers' military security ar rangements in Europe might be justified if Russia's satellites ever become genuinely inde pendent of Moscow domination. But he warned, at his first Washington news conference since his cancer operation, that the United States and its free allies must not reduce their de fensive power now. His guarded remarks appear ed to be a hint that the West might be willing to negotiate with Russia for a possible mu tual drawback of armed forces provided the Kremlin would pull the Soviet Army out of Eastern European countries like Hungary. But Dulles did not spell out the implied overture in detail. Dulles suggested that Russia has a self-interest motive for considering some new arrange ment of the satellites. He said that the recent unrest in the satellites makes it impos sible for Russia any longer to count on some 60 satellite divi sions to help the Red Army in case of a war. On the contrary, he said, it now appears that the satellite forces might even be shooting in the other direction, that is at Russia. Dulles emphasized that the United States seeks peace and does not want to resume the cold war. He blamed Russia for increased world tensions which have come about since last year's Geneva summit meeting. He said Russia has made every effort to stir up trouble in the Middle East and has tried to obstruct any settlement of the Suez Canal dispute. Unfriendly Atlitud Dulles also said the Soviet Union is responsible for the tragic events in Hunzary. And he charged that the Soviet Un ion tore up the Geneva agree ment to reunify Germany. All of these developments, he said, make it look as though the Soviet Union is not anxious for friendly relations with the Free World. Dulles said that with the inter national picture as it now is, the United Slates has no plan to reduce its military strength in Europe. He said there probably will be some streamlining of U.S. forces there, however, to make them more mobile. Radio-TV Highlights Prim Minister Nehru of India will speak over radio station KYJC (1230 kc) at 8:15 tonight. H also will appear on i station KBES-TV at 11 p.m. I - w Egyptian Police Enter Port Said To Aid UN Force City Rapidly Approaching Normal Port Said (U.R) A detach ment of 350 Egyptian police moved into this trigger-happy city of 178,000 today to help hard-pressed United Nations po licemen keep order. The city was rapidly approach ing normalcy as more and more British troops moved out. Some shops were open and Egyptian flags and pictures of President Carnal Abdel Nasser blossomed out in the city. One unit of 1,000 French For eign Legionnaires boarded ships for immediate withdrawal while British troops withdrew inside a barbed wire perimeter around the European and port sections of the city. A Legionnaire officer was shot and killed by Egyptian troops during the night while on his last patrol. He was the first Frenchman to be killed since -occupation of the city. A Danish patrol of the Unit ed Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) was fired on during darkness Monday night, but there were no casualties. It was the second time U.N. forces have been fired on in two days. The date of the final Anglo French evacuation remained a secret, but the best guess was Friday or Saturday. Britain and France Monday night extended for three days their deadline for removal of their salvage ships pending Egyptian acceptance of their use with Anglo-French crews. The Anglo - French salvage fleet continued its work of clear ing the harbor despite occasion al sniper fire from the shore. The fleet raised one blockship Monday and was working on another. Marshfield High Gets $10,000 'Compensation' Coos Bay (U.R) Marshfield high school at Coos Bay has the kind of supporter most high schools only dream about.

ICC - - pr - -r ? ars' OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1956 No. 231 'Criminals' Hungary j munist and leader of the Free- holders Party who was jailed by the Soviets in 1947. Arrest of 400 "rebels and criminals" was announced by ra dio Budapest. The "criminals" were believed to be political prisoners held by the pre-revo-lutionary "Stalinist" regime and released by rebel forces. The imprisoned anti-Communists were freed when freedom fighters opened the gates xif the AVH (secret police) prisons all over the country. Most of them were believed to have joined the rebel forces and withdrawn to the mountains after the Russian onslaught on Budapest Nov. 4. Reports of increased partisan activity in the area of Miskolc, 80 miles northeast of Budapest, reached Vienna over the week end. Budapest radio said most of the arrested men have been charged with "illegal possession of arms," an indication that the new wave of arrests will be fol lowed by mass trials before spec ial military tribunals. The mil itary tribunals were set up in a declaration of martial law pro claiming death to anti-government forces.
