It is a regular practice for the major oil companies to destroy some of their records, the spokesman said. But, he said, when they are under anti-trust investigation it is the practice to refrain from destroying the records. A hearing on the motion is scheduled Thursday before Judge Albert V. Bryan.

NATO Will Reply In War of Nerves Bonn, Germany (U.R) The NATO countries probably will hit back with a joint counter blast at Moscow's atomic war of nerves, Bonn government sources said today.

Adenauer al ready has sent his individual answer to the Kremlin threats. Dulles flies in from Washing ton between this afternoon for a meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Council which opens here Thursday.

Joseph McCarthv has re ceived a "wonderful thing" an offer of blood from Defense de partment employees. McCarthy, who has taken on the Pentagon in some of his greatest fights, received the of fer while battling a serious at tack of acute hepatitis. "It's a wonderful eesture." the senator's attractive wife Jean said. "It's one of the most won derful things that ever hap pened to us." . Mrs. McCarthy told the Unit ed Press Tuesday night that the offer of blood came from a De fense department office Tuesday.- She said she did not know which office.

The 19 were reported to be whooping it up in Nebraska .and South Dakota. Previously only 24 of the big birds were known to exist. Frederick C, Lincoln, assistant director of the Interior Depart ment's division of sports fisher ies and wildlife, said the reports are "perfectly credible." "But," he added, "we've had such reports before. If they can be checked it usually turns out that the "whooping cranes' are white pelicans." "We've got spotters looking for the birds. I certainly hope they turn up." ' The big birds have a wingspan of about sixfeet. They get their name from the whooping call they give. - .

Pakistan Officer Speaks at Medford Rotary Meeting Pakistan, one of the world's youngest nations, has emerged as a bulwark for the free world in Asia and is determined to fight aggression when or where it may rise. This message was voiced by Capt. M. Yasin Raja of the Pak istan Army in a luncheon ad dress Tuesday before the Med ford Rotary club. The young Army officer, who worked with the Pakistan Olympic team prior to the last international games, is currently assisting Coach Bill Bowerman at the University of Oregon. He spoke briefly at the Jackson hotel. Much of Capt. Raja's address dealt with the similarity of Pak istanian and American govern ments and religion. The nation of 80 million people,' established in 1947, has a democratic gov ernment patterned along the line of the U.S., and the coun try's" constitution closely fol lows the famous American docu ment. Predominantly Moslem Pakistan is predominately Moslem and there is also a marked similarity between the Koran and the Bible. Unlike the Hindu religion of India, in which the cow is considered sacred, the Moslem followers of Moham med in Pakistan have a faith quite similar to Christians in the West. Reverence for parents is emphasized by Mohammedans. Great strides have been made in education, Capt. Raja told Ro tarians, and widespread illiter acy is on the way out in Pakis tan. Women have been given the traditional democratic freedoms, and the ratio of men and wom en in institutions of higher learning is rapidly narrowing. Coach Bowerman, formerly of Medford, was in Pakistan a few months ago on an international scholarship to assist the sports loving people of that nation in their track program. Capt. Raja is returning the gesture of inter national friendship by a three months stay at the University of Oregon. School Superintendent Leon ard Mayfield introduced the speaker. v" Navy Commander At $80,000 Level New York (U.R) N a.vy Cmdr.

'Very Constructive' "The conversations were very constructive and I did not detect any. note of belligerency or ar rogance in the conversation" even when. Nasser discussed Is real, the Minnesota Democrat said. Humphrey said he felt that Egypt wants to be free of for eign pacts, alliances and , doc trines an obvious reference to the Eisenhower Doctrine. He said his two days of talks indicated the major causes of Egyptian "unhappiness" with the United States was withdraw al of aid for the Aswan dam, not sending i'ood to Egypt when it asked for it and blocking Egyptian funds in the United States. , Humphrey said he and Nasser discussed the Egyptian food sit uation at length and that Nasser remarked that when Egypt had needed wheat desperately Rus sia sent it.
