United States was advised of ficially by Israel, Britain or France of their impending ac tion. The White House and State Department have said the first news of the main events were received via news agency re ports. But these events did not come as a complete surprise de spite the refusal of the three Allies to say anything about them in advance to the United States. The United Press is informed that a top secret report prepared by intelligence agencies was de livered to the White House about 24 hours prior to the Israeli attack of Oct. 29. This report, dated Oct. 28, is said to have made these three main points: Information Acted Upon 1. Israel will not attack Jor dan. Earlier intelligence esti mates indicated that Israel would strike against Jordan. 2. Israel Instead will attack Egypt- 3. France and Britain will at tack in the Suez Canal area. ' This intelligence information was "acted upon" by the govern ment's intelligence advisory committee which includes the State Department, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army, Navy, Air Force. Central Intelligence Agency, Atomic Energy Commission, and Federal Bureau of Investigation. This means all these agencies knew about the Allied plans as did the White House. Fire Destroys Small Rogue River Building Rogue River Fire late yester day afternoon destroyed a lubri cation building at the Shell serv ice station on Highway 99 here, according to state police. The building was of wood construction with a concrete floor. The station is operated by Edward H. Lilly, 43, of Rogue River. The main station was damaged slightly, police said. The fire started when a cus tomer, E. F. Martin of Rogue River, attempted to obtain white gasoline from a barrel in the building, police said. Lilly was busy at the time, and instructed Martin to serve himself, they added. When Martin started pumping the gasoline, flames came out the hose, according to police. Martin went to the main station for help but the fire had pro gressed too far to save the build ing when he returned. Thursday, January SI, 1937 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINB State Department Still Wants Visit by Tito Despite Protest Washington (U.R) The State Department still wants Yugo slavia's Marshal Tito to visit the United States despite pro tests from Congress and hints that Tito himself may be grow ing cool to the idea. Diplomatic officials passed this word today, although the State Department still main tained an official silence on ef forts to arrange the visit. Tito, if he eventually does come to the United States, would be the first head of a Commu nist nation to do so. Reports that he might pay an official call on President Eisenhower have stirred outcries from Con gress, Catholic groups and oth ers. Mr. Eisenhower showed con cern at his news conference Wednesday over the growing objections to visits by foreign leaders who are not exactly close friends of the United States or who are unpopular with cer tain segments of the population. The President emphasized that, in the interests of peace, "you have got to meet face to face the people with whom you disagree at times to determine whether or not there is a 'way of working out differences and reaching a better understand ing." He said the mere meeting with such a man "does not neces sarily imply any approval" of his policies. And the President deplored "any discourtesy" the U.S. people might show to sucn foreign visitors. This was a reference to the snub New York City and state officials gave to visiting King Saud of Saudi Arabia when he reached this country Monday. Ella Fitzgerald 'Resting Comforfaby New York iU.P.)
