America's European Allies Breaking Through China Trade Barrier Despite U.S. Protests Fridty, Mar IMT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TMBU1TE FTVat . 'London VP) America's Allies in Europe are breaking through the China trade bar rier, led by Britain. France, Norway and Denmark are not far behind. . British Foreign Secretary Sel wyn Lloyd announced Thursday in the House of Commons that Britain was relaxing restric tions despite opposition from the United States. The other European nations and Japan were hacking away at he barrier without any as surances there is much trading to be done. They are retaining the ban of shipment of any "strategic" eoods to the Communist Chi nese items which could help the Chinese war machine, isut they have pressed for elimina tion of more than 400 items from the embargo which was clamped down, chiefly due to pressure from the United States, at the height of the Korean war in 1951. U.S. Stands Firm At a meeting in Paris this week, representing of 15 West ern nations worked for an agreement to bring the embar- Woman Lives 20 Days Beside Mate's Body In Plane Wreckage Rawlins, Wyo HP! The 45-year-old survivor of a light plane crash, who lived beside her dead husband on a lonely mountain top for 20 days on only three candy bars and melted snow, was reported in good condition today in a Rawlins hospital. Mrs. Dorothy Le Masurier said her husband, Dalton, a Duluth, Minn., radio and television sta tion executive, died four days after their private plane crashed on a snow-rapped Ferris moun tain peak 60 miles north of here. Searchers Cam Near Although earch planes flew within sight of the wreckage several . times and a group of sheep herders once camped only two or three miles away, Mrs. Le Masurier was not spotted until Thursday. She was sighted by Jack Putnam, foreman of the Buzzard ranch, who was look ing for stray cows with a pair of binoculars. A rescue party set out at dawn John Day Estimates Declared Too High Washington (IF Testimony released today by the House pub lic works appropriations subcom mittee indicated that the $350 million estimated cost of John Day dam on the Columbia river was too high for it to be included in the budget for the next fiscal year. Brig. Gen. Louis H. Foote, North Pacific division engineer, told the subcommittee in closed session last month that a total cost ceiling of S250 million for new starts had been imposed upon the engineers. This "auto matically" eliminated the John Day project from the budget, he said. today to remove Le Masurier's body from the crash scene. Doctors reported the woman was suffering from exposure but said her condition, "amazingly good," was not considered criti cal. Missing Since May 11 The couple had been missing since May 11 when they took off from Salt Lake City for Rapid City, S.D. When rescuers reached Mrs. Le Masurier she struggled to re main with ber husband's body, they said. She told them she tried frantically to attract the attention of rescue planes but could not. The couple had only two matches and they were wet. . When the planes flew nearby "I waved a red shirt trying to get them to s?e us," she sobbed. When found she was barefoot and was wearing her dead hus band's trousers. She said all she had to eat during the agonizing 20 days were three candy bars she bought by chance at Salt Lake City. She drank melted snow. Stayed in Wreckage Mrs. Le Masurier said she and her husband stayed in the plane's wreckage for the first three days after the crash and then decided to try to get off the mountain. Her husband got only 400 yards before he died. Mrs. Le Masurier was "very coherent" when she was found and was in "surprisingly good shape considering what she had been through," according to Rob ert D. Paul. Carbon county coroner. The woman told rescuers that at one time a group of sheep herders came within two or three miles of the wreckage but that she chose to stay with her husband's body rather than try to get to them. go list for China into line with that for Russia. It has been possible to ship goods to the So viet bloc in Europe which could not be sent to China. But some of the banned items went on to China via Eastern Europe. The United States has not an nounced any plans to relax its own strict embargo, but the na tions of Western Europe have presented the United States with an accomplished fact they intend to try to step up trade with Peiping regardless of the American position. Britain is locked in a fierce struggle with Japan and West ern Germany for world mar kets. The British economic po sition is more precarious since Suez, and the British argue that it is in the interest of the West ern Alliance to have a financi ally strong Britain. Socialists have battered the Conservative government over the "ridicu lous" situation which allows shipment of farm tractors to Russia but not to China. Disturbed By Inroads Britain today is doing about as much trade with China as she did before the Communists took over, but British businessmen are disturbed by the inroads others are making in the mar ket offered by the "new" Chi na. Here are comparative figur es for trade with China in mil lions of dollars in 1956: Exports Imports Japan 72 90 West Germany 37 53 Britain 30 35 Non - Communist nations of the Middle East, Asia and Eu rope did $900 million worth of t.-ade with Red China last year, a survey shows. It created a fav orable trade balance of $150 million for China. Some ma chinery shipped to China was outside the Korean war embar go list, this survey showed. Trade authorities in London say there is evidence of "politi cal" motives in China's trade. They say China is shipping some goods which are in short supply at home and buying sup plies for which she has no real need. In addition, as one au thority put it, "There is not much of a world market for bird's nest soup." Electronics Worker Cooked To Death by Radar Beam Exposure Los Angeles IIP! - An elec tronics technician has literally been cooked to death by a one minute exposure to a radar beam, it was disclosed today in a medical journal. At least two other persons are under treatment here for simi lar injuries and another case was reported at Sandia Air Force Base, N.M., an article in "Cali fornia Medicine" said. The dead man was exposed at 10 feet from the source of the radar beam, the journal said. After one minute he felt a "sen sation of heat" in his obdomen and moved out of the ray. He died in a few days. Autopsy showed that his internal organs were cooked by the microwave rays in the sime manner that electronic rotisseries and roast ers cook food in thousands of American homes today. Many Sources of Danger 1 Dr. John T. McLaughlin, Glen dale, Calif., surgeon and consult ant in industrial medicine, who reported the death for the journ al, said he ii treating two other rases here. Both men have scars of the spleen traceable to ex posure to radar waves, he said.

A source familiar with medical literature on the subject said the rays are the same as those Deamed into every television set, although there is no rcord of in juary from TV microwaves. He said it was not known whether exposure at a distance to either radar or TV microwave beams is dangerous. Countless persons, in cluding airplane and ship pass engers, are exposed daily to radar rays. Whether there is danger from low-powered radar equipment, such as that used by police traffic patrols, also is now known, he said. "Many studies on animals al ready have been made showing the ability of radar waves to burn internal organs and brains that do not have the ability to react like the skin and cannot adjust to temperatures that are too high," the source said. A recent study by Dr. Charles Barron, medical director at Lockheed Aircraft company, Burbank, Calif., showed 25 per cent of personnel who have close contact with radar equipment have a "significant decrease" in number of white cells in their blood. Studies on animals have shown bone marrow damage and eye cataracts as well as fatal in juries to the brain, heart and other organs as a result of radar or microwave exposure. Ike's Foreign Aid Plans May Suffer By British Action Washington (IPI Sen. Charles E. Potter (R.-Mich.) said today that congressional passage of President Eisenhower's foreign aid program may "possibly" be hampered by Britain's decision to increase its trade with Red China. Potter a member of the Inter state and Foreign Commerce committee, called the British ac tion "regrettable." But it comes as no surprise, he said, "because pressures have been building up for an increase in such trade." Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland (Calif.) has vigorously opposed in creased trade with Red China on the ground that it would in crease her war-making capabili ties. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D. Minn.), a member of the Foreign Relations committee, said, how ever, that "if the disarmament issue with the Communists is being taken seriously, why not the trade issue?" Humphrey said Britain "has been pushed very hard financial ly" and that the move had been expected all along. However. Sen. George M. Smathers (D.-Fla.), also a mem ber of the Foreign Relations committee is reported to be ready to urge that the United States itself begin trading with Communist China.
