o ritain's Glory Turning To Ashes; Homeland Evacuation Number Alarming ICdltor'i ttntt: Thli la ttv last f two dtpatrh on th muilv. migra tion j Bntont abroad. O By DANIEL F. GILMORE United Presi Correspondent London (U.R) In the rosy glow of Queen Elizabeth II's cor onation in 1953, Britons spoke of a new "Elizabethan Age." Since Suez, the glory has turned ashes. Britons are flee ing their homeland in alarming numbers 6.000 a month to Owiada. 56,000 a year to Aus tralia, 850 enquiries a day at the New Zealand office. Only hipin space limits the exodus. Officially, both the queen and her consort. Prince Philip, en- Qcourage migration. Both the Conservative gov ernment in power and the Labor party in opposition support it. After all, they say, the flight is to the corrgnonweath the tie to the Jfown is still there. But privately thinking Bri tons are worried, and govern ment officials are aghast at the losffof the cream of the nation's youth, its technicians and scien tists. Britain seems in danger of losing its "brains." Conservative O. J. Alport, un dersecretary for commonwealth relations, told the House of Com mons during debate on the "Em JWre Settlement Bill," which en courages migration to the com monwealth: Emigration should be based on a cross-section of the popula- Otion . . .Jest Britain be left with aff5 unstinnnrtahle residue of the r aged and infirm. Mostly the Young Alport said that nine-tenths of those going to Canada and five- sixths of the Australia - bound were under 45 years of age. The 1953 Canadian figures show that one-fifth were managerial work- erg or professional men. The o percentage has since jumped. An Australian spokesman said only six per cent of the migrants i prove a shock. Full-page ads ap return to Britain four per pear in newspapers noting the cent due to an ailing parent or death. "Two per cent were dissatis fied with life in Australia," he said, "but half of these went back again." Both the influential Times of London and Manchester Guardi an have suggested that full sta tistics on the exodus would opportunities for young Britons who stay home. While both the Conservative and Labor Party platforms still endorse migration, the parties make political hay blaming each other for the flight. Classes Levelled The Conservatives charge that the Laborites, when they im posed Socialism on the country after the war, "Levelled down" the classes. By guaranteeing social services, the Socialists raised already-high, taxes. Ac cording to the Conservatives, this killed incentive. When he took office.

(U.R) Some thing like 2 million Americans will come here this year to see where 104 men and boys found ed the first permanent English settlement in North America 350 years ago. Virginians have put much time and effort into this observance of the beginning of our nation and, if Capt. John Smith and his 17th century band could return, they would find much that is familiar. At anchor along the west bank of the James are replicas of the three tiny sailing ships, Susan Constant, Godspeed and Dis covery, that bore them across the Atlantic. A wooden path leads from the ships to a duplicate of the fort and the crude shelters built by the colonists that first summer in 1607. Generally unknown is that only 38 survived the next winter they had not raised or stored sufficient food and the island site they chose was swampy and insect-infested. Finally Women The first two women did not arrive until the next year. And it was also not until then that the colonists, desperate, accepted Captain Smith as their leader. At first they had found him too sure of himself. Just off the colonial reproduc tions is an ultra-modern festival park with two large pavilions housing exhibits dating from the 15th Century to the present.

Hennings Jr. (D.-Mo.T charging "the State deparlrrient is engaging in censorship" by forbidding U.S. newsmen to travel in Red China: "In connection with your (the State department's) denial to help American newsmen in the free exercise of their profession, I understand you rejected an opportunity to obtain the release of 10 Americans now imprisoned in China. I doubt if those impris oned Americans, and their families and friends will be grateful to you." Thomasville, Ga. White House Press Secretary James C.

"There can still be seen the old Jamestown church, built in 1639, with three walls still standing. There also is the monu ment erected for the finally ill fated 300th anniversary. President Eisenhower will come here May 13 for the cele bration of the anniversary date of the landing. Britain's Queen Elizabeth is expected in September or Octo ber although this is not final. Her visit probably will not co incide with a full-dress reenact ment of the battle of Yorktown where Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. Mock Battle Ancient militia organizations from various states have been invited to act as the troops in that mock battle. Those of Bri tish origin will take the part of the Redcoats and several Na tional Guard units will portray tie French contingent. There will be some 500-800 troops in all and each phase of the battle, complete with cannon and mus ket fire and fife and drum, will be reenacted. There will also be a naval re view in June with 27 foreign countries invited to send ships to the Hampton Roads area. The last "Jamestown Review" in 1907 was taken by President Theodore Roosevelt.

Many of the English them-i selves admit that, whether it' comes to running a railroad or j a grocery, they aren't "getting on with the job." "Why work harder and earn more since we will be taxed more?" they say in reply to charges of laziness. "It's not worth the effort. The man who doesn't work as hard gets as much out of life. Nobody is starving here." No one is starving. But the ambitious tend to get out. The Liberal London News Chronicle said last week, "Thou- sands of people are leaving this country. They're going and we , might as well face it because they've had all they can take . . . "Give them one good reason i just one why they should stay." ill GDH MARKET North Hiway 99 Half Way Between Medford and Central Point OPEN UNTIL 10 P.M.

Seaton said today he has ordered a detailed study to determine the econom ic feasibility of development of the Pleasant Valley dam site on the Snake river on the Oregon Idaho border. Seaton did not say whether he envisioned such a multi-purpose development as a federal proj ect. If the study shows the project is feasible, it could disrupt plans of independent power compan ies to build dams on the Snake. Pacific Northwest Power Co., asked the FPC to disqualify pub lic power groups from further intervention in its MountaiD Sheep and Pleasant Valley dam applications. It said delaying tactics by the National Hells Canyon association and other power intervenors are costing it millions of dollars. Portland May Be Without City Buses Portland U.R) Portland to day faced the prospect of being without public bus transporta tion next month. The Rose City Transit com pany told the city council yes terday that if fare increases asked by the firm are not grant ed notice will be served Feb. 19 that the firm would halt iU buses. The city council prompt ly voted to deny the company any fare increase. Mayor Terry Schrunk said the city may be without public transportation, presumably on March 19, providing the com pany enforces its threat. The firm filed for fare In creases last November and sought to eliminate the package token rates and the weekly pass. A compromise offer by Commis sioner N. A. Boody was said by the firm to be unacceptable. There was no indication what action might follow. Tulelake, Calif .
