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.
The danger exists for mili

in radar manufacturing and test
ing, and operators of commercial
radar on ships and planes who
work "up close" to radar, 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.
