Yugoslavian to
Enroll in SOC
Dusan Pasic, 23-year-old
Yugoslavian student, was ex
pected to arrive in Medford
today, the first Yugoslavian
student to study In this coun
try since the 1953-54 school
year.
Efforts to bring Pasic to
this country started about two
years ago by Mrs. H. Chandler
Drew, 3528 Delta Waters rd.,
Medford, who sponsored his
trip from Belgrade.
The Drews became ac
quainted with Pasic about ZVi
years ago through correspond
ence started after they spon
sored a CARE package. Im
pressed with" his letters, Mrs.
Drew and friends decided he
would make a good prospect
for the Foreign Student Ex
change program.
Mrs. Mabel Winston, regis
trar at Southern Oregon col
lege, who also was impressed
with his knowledge of English
and ability to express himself,
suggested he apply to study
in this country to the Institute
of International education,
New York, the organization
which handles college student
exchanges.
The institute told Pasic the
program did not extend to
Yugoslavia, and the only way
he could come would be
through" private financing.
The Drews then decided to
sponsor him, Mrs. Drew said.
Southern Oregon college ex
tended him an academic schol
arship, and Mrs. Drew said
she was sure residents would
help finance his stay in the
Rogue valley once he was
here.
In the fall of 1956, Mrs.
Drew forwarded the required
letter of guaranty and accept
ance form from the college to
the Yugoslavia passport of
fice, and similar papers to the
American Embassy in Bel
grade. It wasn't until May, 1957,
that Pasic heard from the
passport office, Mrs. Drew
said. Then, written across the
returned application was
"passports not issued for study
abroad at this time." The of
fice told him he couuld appeal
to the home secretary.
Nothing more was heard
concerning the passport dur
ing the summer of 1957 and
Mrs. Drew decided to write
to the home secretary. In the
letter, she explained how they
'met Pasic, wrote about them
selves and why they felt it
was important for peoples of
he world to become acquaint
ed. She said she was "mysti
fied" as to why Yugoslavia
would not give Pasic a pass
port when other nations seem
ed to feel it was of great value
to send students to this coun
try. After Pasic heard that Mrs.
Drew wrote the home secre
tary, he went to the passport
office and discovered it was

to R. L. (Bud) Palmer, Med

The drama, by Edmund

the most compelling plays
ever presented by the Foot

Palmer said.
"We are therefore strongly
urging all our workers to get

crowds out to the show. This

abroad, Mrs. Drew said.
Another letter of guaranty
and another acceptance form
from the college were for
warded on request last Au
gust. But Mrs. Drew heard
nothing for more than a
month and wrote another let
ter to the home secretary.
She mentioned that since it
was possible for Yugoslavian
students to obtain passports
to study abroad, she wondered
when the Drews could expect
Pasic.
In a letter dated Dec. 6,
1957, Pasic wrote he had ob
tained the passport, and that
the American Embassy want
ed a new acceptance form
from SOC and a receipt letter
showing that a prepaid round-
trip passage had been pur
chased for him.
Received by Embassy
Both were received by the
Embassy before Christmas,
Mrs. Drew said.
According to Mrs. Winston,
available information shows
that Pasic is the first Yugo
slavian student to study in
this country since 1953-54.
A scholarship fund for
Pasic has been established at
the U. S. National bank of
Portland, Medford branch,
and has been designated "The
Diisan Pasic Scholarship
Fund," Mrs. Drew said. She
said contributions to the fundi
will be accepted to help fi
nance room and board and
other expenses for Pasic while
he is. attending Southern Ore
gon college.

Flees To Exil
People Celek
Fate of Juan Perv
Reported Not Clei
Caracas, Venezuela (ID
Military and civilian forces
overthrew the 9-year-old dic
tatorship of President Marcos
Perez Jimenez today. Perez
Jimenez, his family arid aides
fled into exile in the Domini
can Republic.
A military junta was set up
to run the government after
Pere Jimenez bowed to an ul
timatum from the armed
forces and to bloody street
battles led by a newspaper
reporter in which an estimat
ed 200 were killed and 1,000
injured.
Today's events climaxed
those which started with an
abortive revolt by army and
air force elements at Maracay
on New Year's Day and ended
with a civilian led general
strike Tuesday.
The five-man military junta
which took over the govern
ment was led by Rear Adm.
Wolfgang Larrazabel, who
had been navy chief of staff
until last week when he re
signed in opposition to the
President.
Reporter Leads Revolt
The civilian elements which
fought in the streets against
the forces loyal to Perez Jim
enez were led by Fabricio
Ojeda, a reporter for the
newspaper El Nacional. and
president of the Venezuelan
Patriotic Junta, which an
nounced it fully supported the
new ruling military group.
The fate of another ex-dictator,
Juan D. Peron of Ar
gentina, who had been given
asylum by Perez Jimenez, was
not immediately clear. Reli
able sources in Washington
said the new Venezuelan gov
ernment was expected to ask
him to leave the country ' as
soon as possible, since his po
sition there had become un
tenable. There was no confir
mation, however, of rumors
that he already had left Ven
ezuela. Perez Jimenez and his en
tourage left the Mirafiores
Presidential Palace in the
early hours this morning, af
ter he had vainly tried to out
bluff the military which told
him to resign by 10 p.m.
Wednesday or face attack by
the armed forces.
The deposed dictator sped
to La Carota Airfield on the
outskirts of Caracas, where
he boarded his personal DC4
plane and took off for the Do
minican Republic.
Populace Celebrates
While he was en route, the
Caracas radio announced that
his government had fallen af
ter two days of bloody rebel
lion. The news electrified Vene
zuela. People poured into the
streets of Caracas, shouting
for joy, honking car horns,
and shouting such things as:
"The tyrant has fallen" and
"Long live liberty."
The new junta moved
quickly. It issued a series of
decrees which gave new free-'
dom to the populace.
Tanks which had been
guarding Perez Jimenez at
the Presidential Palace were
withdrawn. A dusk to dawn
curfew was lifted. Thousands
of political prisoners were or
dered released. A general am
nesty was granted to all ex
iles. Military leaders ousted
for their part in the New
Year's Day plot were ordered
reinstated.
The new junta called re
peatedly for calm and order,
but could do little to quell the
enthusiasm of the people.
Newspapers published ex
tras. An air of fiesta reigned
throughout the country.

iraye!( Chief IF
. ersonal Profit
In Land Dealings
Of Union Charged
Failed To Meet
Responsibilities
Washington (IP) Victor
S. Swanson, former member
of the San Francisco Public
Utilities commission, was ac
cused today by a union as
sociate of profiting person
ally from land dealings of a
union local which he manag
ed. Clarence F. Matthews, sec
retary of San Francisco Local
3, told the Senate Rackets
Committee that he knows,
from an investigation con
ducted by the parent Interna
tional Union of Operating
Engineers, that Swanson' prof
ited personally.
Swanson conceded that he
failed to meet his own re
sponsibilities as guardian for
the international union on
the affairs of the local. He
testified that, in one instance
he knowingly approved what
Chairman John L. McClellan
(D-Ark.), called a "false" en
try in the local's record.
. But Matthews denied that
he personally profited from
the dealings which, according
to the committee's testimony,
netted union officers more
than $40,000 in "hidden prof
its."
" Much of the questioning of
Matthews involved the , pur
chase .by the local of a plot of
land , in Stockton, Calif.,, the
resale, of the iano' i i th.-ae par
cels, and the subsequent re
purchase by the local of one
of them.
The committee contends
that union officers reaped
hidden profits in the deal
while the union, by putting
up an additional $1,650, end
ed up owning only one-third
of the seven-acre tract which
it had owned outright.
Name On Deed
Metthews said he did not
know at the time that the
original S33.000 price on the
property was inflated through
a dummy operation. He said
he did not know that the sums
realized by the union n the
first two resales were far be
low the market values.
As to the third parcel of
the property, Matthews con
ceded that his name was' on
the deed by which Swanson
and a union business agent
bought the land from the un
ion. But he said he still does
not believe that he signed it.

From Salem Trip
County Judge Rodney
Keating was back today after
conferring with the state tax
commission in Salem yester
day on matters relating to the
Jackson county board of equa
lization. -
While . in Salem, Keating
said he went over ratio stu
dies as they affect Jackson
county property taxes. These
constitute the difference be
tween assessed and sales
values of property as figured
into assessments, he ex
plained. Keating learned how
the ratio studies should be
analyzed and compared them
with those made by . other
counties.
Keating said he suggested a
bill which would establish
uniform budget programs for
the counties throughout the
state. Under Keating's plan a
skeleton form would be es
tablished to which all county
budgets would conform.
Judge Keating said he also
spent considerable time con
fering with Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton.
More Wanted for
Election Board Jobs
Mrs. Bereth Hopkins, Jack

in a far-reaching investigation
of the nation's missile and

Russia in Lead
From 7,000 pages of testi

Plans Under
'Applegate Trail1 Route
Ken McLeod, Klamath
Falls, president of the Kla
math County Historical soc

under way to mark the route
of the "Applegate Trail" in
southern Oregon.
The route is the one that
Jesse and Lindsay Applegate,
pioneers, of Southern Oregon,
followed in bringing wagon
trains to Oregon along the
"Southern Route," as distinct
from the "Old Oregon Trail"
which came down the Colum
bia river, and from the trails
to California, in the mid-19th
century.
McLeod said that plans for
such historical markers were
first originated in 1946, but
that they were dropped for

Knowland Offers
Own Labor Plan
In Senate Speech
Secret Ballot in
Calif ornian's Plan
Washington OPI Shortly
after President Eisenhower's
labor message was transmit
ted to Congress today, Senate
Republican leader William F.
Knowland a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination in
California, introduced his
own labor program.
He called for more string
ent government supervision
of unions in some instances
than was recommended by
the President.
Knowland, who is cam
paigning in California mainly
on the right to work issue,
said he did not deliberately
time introduction of his pro
gram to coincide with the
President's. He said he had
planned to present it to the
Senate earlier this week but
delayed it because of the
death of Sen. Matthew M.
Neely (D-W. Va.).
Among other things, Know
land called for:
Election of uni6n offic
ials by popular vote through
secret ballot and giving the
National Labor Relations
Board power to hear chal
lenges to the legality of such
elections. .
Letting the NLRB super
vise elections on recalling un
ion officials.
Referendums.. where at
least 15 per cent of a union's
membership demand them on
whether to call or continue
a strike, on constitutional
changes, and on modifying or
vetoing decisions of union of
ficials on dues, assessments,
suspensions, benefits and sup
port of non-union activities.
Disclosure of union welfare,
health and pension fund op
erations, not covered by
Knowland's bill, was one of
the principal points in Eisen
hower's program.

budworm spraying program.
Way to Mark
cently to confer with Miss
Claire Hanley, president of
the Jackson County Histori
cal society, to gain the sup
port of the local group in
the project, and with officials
of ' the Oregon Historical soc

is to communicate with the
state highway department, re
questing their cooperation in
the project, as that is the
agency of government logic
ally concerned with' such mar
kings, which would be adja
cent to state highways.
Under present plans, three
such markers would be erect
ed at sites along the route in
Klamath county, and one in
Jackson county, directing
public attention to the loca

the early settlers.
Special Messaged
Outlines Plan To
Curb Racketeers
Detailed Statements
Included in Proposal
Washington OPi President
Eisenhower asked Congress to
day to strip labor unions of
income tax exemptions and
federal bargaining rights un
less they file detailed finan
cial statement with the Labor
Department.
The President made the re
quest in a special message out
lining a seven-point program
designed to eliminate racket
eering in labor and manage
ment. Secret Ballot Laws
He also urged laws to re
quire secret ballot election of
most union officers and com
plete disclosure of welfare
fund operations.
Under his proposal unions
which refuse to file accurate
financial reports would be
subject to these penalties:
Denial of all rights or
privileges available to them
under federal-labor manage
ment relations laws. This
could mean access to the Na
tional Labor Relations Board
and federal mediation serv
ices. Revocation of certificates
issued to unions after they
won bargaining rights in
NDRB elections.
Forfeiture for an "appro
priate period" of tax-exempt
status.
Most Officials Honest
Unions now are required to
file financial reports. But
several large unions, such as
the United Mine workers and
the International Typographi
cal Union, do not do so.
The President said that he
could not ignore the dis
closures at congressional hear
ings of corruption, racketeer
ing and abuse of trust and
power in the labor-manage
ment field.
Here are the seven points
in the President's program:
Require reporting to the
Labor Department on all
health, welfare or pension
funds whether administered
by employers, unions or both.
Failure to do would be made
a misdemeanor.,
Public Financial Reports
Require all unions from
international to local level
to file detailed financial re
ports to be available for pub
lic examination. It would be
a misdemeanor to fail to file
these reports. Union officials
also would be subject to suit
by members who suspected
misuse of union money.
Require that labor organ
izations certify that local offi
cers were elected directly by
secret ballot and national offi
cers by secret ballot or
through conventions whose
delegates were chosen by
secret ballot.
Require all employers re
port financial dealings with
unions or their officers either
directly or through a third
party. Unions and union offi
cials would be required to re
port similar dealings with em
ployers. These reports would
be made public by the Labor
Department.
Bar collusion between un
ion and management result
ing in "sweetheart" contracts
that provide few benefits for
employees. Employed financ
ing of efforts to prevent union
organizing would be outlawed.
Create the post of com
missioner of labor reports and
give him powers to investi
gate any reports on labor-management
activities and receive
complaints from union mem
bers as to their accuracy. He
also could seek injunctions
against violations of the law,
and issue subpoenas to pro
duce records and compel testi
mony. Criminal Penalties
Make the embezzlement
of union 'funds a felony and
apply the code on false in
formation. The payment by
any union official or repre
sentative to an employer to
influence his actions in labor
management matters, or vice
versa, would be a felony.
Deny labor unions and
employers the benefits for
failure to file accurate re
ports. Under this provision
access to the Federal Media
tion Service and National
Mediation Board could be de
nied. Unions also lose certifi
cation as bargaining agent and
tax exempt status for failure
to file reports.
Amend the secondary boy
cott provisions of the Taft
