EXPLAINS MAP Jack Nichols of the bureau of reclama
tion office at Camp White, explains a map of the Talent proj
ect to Hameed A. Alhashmi, professor of electrical engineer
ing, Aligarh university, Aligarh, India. The professor is vis
iting in this country under the foreign specialist program of
the International Education Exchange Service, department
of state. He toured the Talent project today.
Education, Hoover
Dam Impress India
Educator in Nation
' Close association between
students and instructor in
American colleges, and Hoov
er dam, were two of the
things which have impressed
an Indian University profes
sor most while visiting this
country.
Hameed A. Alhashmi, of
Aligarh university of India,
said he was impressed by how
closely instructors at Calif
ornia Institute of Technology
work with their students.
Only about 10 students to a
, class makes considerable dif
ference, Alhashmi said. Fifty
to 60 students is average for
classes at the university in
Aligarh, India, the professor
said.
: There the professor of elec
tric engineering must lecture
in five different languages
during a period. Since the uni
versity includes students
from many foreign countries,
representative languages of
those countries plus some of
the languages of Indian are
spoken.
A synopsis of the next lec
ture is given each student. If
a pupil misses one day he is
lost, so attendance is well
over 95 per cent, the profes
sor said.
Alhashmi is vlting the Jack
son county area for four days
under the foreign specialists
program of the International
Education Exchange Service
of the department of state.
His specific assignment
here is to make a study of
how American schools bring
the general humanities into
their over-all programs. Al
hashmi hopes to take some of
our educational ideas back to
Indian where courses in the
constitution, history and eco
nomics would be added to the
curriculum.
Schools of higher education
in India are set up for two
main categories of students.
They are those wanting di
plomas and those wanting de
grees. Those who get diplo
mas take four years of high
school and four years college
The diploma course is pri
marily for such people as
overseers while the degree
course is for doctors, engin
eers and scientists. Doctors
and masters degrees are not
given in Indian, Prof. Alhash
mi said. The diploma course
consists of three years in
school and one in the field.
"We are a little better off
than you in our schools since
more science and mathemat
ics are taught," Alhashmi
said. "We also go further than
you do in your colleges. It
is not enough that an en
gineer learn only the duties
of his profession. He must also
know-fiuch trades as brick
laying and electrical repair
work. For instance an engin
eer is working on a building
project and a brick falls out
of a wall. He must know how
to put that brick back in."
An instructor in India's
colleges and universities is on
call 24 hours a day, the pro
cessor said. A student may
contact his instructor at his
club, at home or in the class
room to get help. All students
and professors live on the
campus. Students are re
Father Gives Up Freedom
To Little Daughter Dying
Washington (IK Robert
Backover, 28, came home to
day to trade his freedom for
a few moments with his dy
ing daughter.
The father came out of hid
ing to face arrest on grand
larceny charges in order to
answer the prayers of Paula
Ann, 6, suffering from leu
kemia. Surrender Arranged
He walked into his home
at 8:45 a.m. (e.s.t.) after a train
trip from thhe West Coast. He
called Police Chief Silas Den
nis Jr. of suburban Hyat
tsville, Md., and arranged rto
give himself up this after
quired to. However, students
and their instructors don't
mix, Alhashmi said.
Asked about his opinion on
education for women, Alhash
mi said he thought men
should have a priority. Men
need more education in order
to make a good living and
support their families, he
explained. More highly edu
cated men are needed for the
progress of .India, the Indfa
university professor said. He
thought higher education is
good for women pursuing ca
reers. However, they soon
marry, so perhaps courses in
homemaking would be more
practical for the majority,
Alhashmi said.
The professor said he was
impressed by the Hoover
dam. The fact the government
controls the transmission fa
cilities and two private com
panies sell the power inter
ested nim. in maia every
thing including life insurance
companies are government
owned and operated, he ex
plained. A dam such as the
Hoover dam would be owned
and operated by the govern
ment of Indian and the man
ufacture of heavy machinery
used to generate power.
His secondary interest
while visiting this country is
to see what hydroelectric
power projects can be devel
oped by the free enterprise
system. Government owner
ship in India is necessary to
maintain its planned economy
he said. Otherwise, India
would have a much harder
time achieving goals set up on
a series of five-year plans.
The first five-year plan
ended in 1955 and boosted the
standard of living up 17 per
cent. The second five-year
plan will end in 1960. It is
hoped the standard of living
will be raised by 24 per cent
by then, he said.
Asked if a country or coun
tries in Asia would be the
coming world powers, the In
dian professor said it was
"entirely possible." India
alone has made tremendous
progress. Some of the other
countries in Asia have, too,
he added.
India now has two large oil
refineries. Alhashmi rated his
country's progress in atomic
research ahead of France.
India has many untapped re
sources, he added.
Jndia has projects similar
to those under the Tennessee
Valley authority in this coun
try. There, 31 dams are used
for the -multiple purposes of
navigation, flood control and
power generation. One dam is
140 feet higher than the
Hoover dam and each of the
10 generators produces 90,000
kilowatts of power.
Today Alhashmi plans to
tour the Green Springs power
plant, Deadwood tunnel, Cas
cade division, Green Springs
tunnel, Immigrant dam, King
creek dam sites and the vari
ous delivery canals which are
part of the Talent project
under construction. This is the
first time he has had a chance
to examine reclamation proj
ects under construction, he
said.
noon after he visits Paula
Ann at Children's Hospital.
The police chief agreed to
the plan..

French Premier
Seeks Formula To
Quash Protests
Tunisia Bombing
Deplored by U.S.
Washington (W Secre
tary of Stat John, Foster
Dulles said today that the
United Slates deplores the
French bombing Saturday
of a Tunisian village.
Dulles also told a news
conference that this gov
ernment is looking into the
question of whether the
French Forces used American-made
arms in the bomb
ing attack.
. By UNITED PRESS
French Premier Felix Gail
lard met with his cabinet
into the early hours today in
search of a formula to lull
the world-wide storm of pro
tests against the . French
bombing a Tunisian village
last Saturday.
But the protests multiplied
and there were growing
indications there would be
a United National Security
Council showdown which
could damage the entire West
ern position in North Africa
and split the NATO allies.
There were strong hints in
Washington the United States
would not back France in the
action that "the U.N. cannot
have one rule for small ag
gressors and another for the
large ones."
There were demands by Al
gerian nationalists at U.N.
headquarters in New York
that the entire question of
American bases in Africa
should come under "reap
praisal" because the French
were reported to have used
U.S. planes in the attack.
Congressional leaders in
Washington voiced new con
cern over the Franco-Tunisian
crisis which already had
brought an admission that
President Eisenhower was
"profoundly disturbed" at the
incident which took 75 Tuni
sian lives.
Dangerous Inaction
Sen. John F. Kennedy CD-
Mass.) accused the administra
tion of daT.gerous inaction in
North Africa and called for
U.N. and NATO "to assert
jurisdiction over this threat
to world peace." He express
ed fear all North Africa
would fall "to our enemies"
if the French-Arab conflict
were not settled.
The man on the spot was
the French premier. He faced
angry allies, new trouble in
North Africa, growing h6stili
ty in the Arab world and a
nation sharply divided over
the bombing. There were an
gry demands in the National
Assembly for an explanation
today.
Public Hearings

Two public hearings on
zone changes were set for
March 10 by the Medford

voted for the appointment.
Commissioner James said,
"M vote was not against the
person named.' He is no doubt
well-qualified for the position,
but I feel both parties should
be. represented on the budget
committee. That's why I
think a Democrat should be
appointed."
The statement was "relayed
from James through Keating.
Barnes is owner and oper
ator of Barnes Brothers pack

after calling at the White
House to present his creden
tials that the President also
agreed on the hope that a
new summit conference can

Dulles, at his news confer
ence, warned that it always
is difficult to negotiate with
the Soviets at any level. He
said negotiations take long
and hard bargaining.
Not Shift in Policy
While negotiations with the
Soviets involve hard work,
Dulles said however, that this
government should under
take to determine whether
mutually advantageous agree
ments can be reached.
Dulles sought to show that
his statement on a foreign
ministers meeting did not con
stitute a shift in American
policy. He said that the Presi
dent had not made a foreign
ministers' meeting a precondi
tion to a summit meeting in
his letter of Jan. 12 to Soviet
Premier Nikolai Bulganin. At
that time, Dulles recalled, the
President said preliminary
work on a summit conference
should be worked on in ad
vance "through diplomatic
channels and byi our foreign

preted this statement to mean
that his government wanted

Rogue River Study
Nearing Phase to
Present to Public
The report, on the Rogue
river . study being made by
the U. S. Army Corps , of
Engineers will be far" enough
along by the latter part of
June to present, to the public
at a hearing.
Ross Hatch, Portland, en
gineer in charge of the Rogue
study, gave this estimate Mon
day evening in Grants Pass at
the second annual meeting of
the Rogue Basin Flood Con
trol and Water Resources' as
sociation. He explaineed the Engin
eers hope to hold several pre
liminary meetings prior to the
public hearing as the study
progresses. The actual com
pletion of the report will not
be until the end of the calen
dar year, he added, s
Summarized Work
Hatch summarized the work
that has been accomplished
mainly the evaluation of in
formation. Also ' commenting
on work done were Ted Wat
son, Salem, engineer with the
state water resources board,
engineer assigned to the
Rogue study.
Six directors were elected
at the meeting to serve for a
three-year term. Elected were
Jennings Pierce, Medford;
Jackson County Commissioner
Ralph James, Sams Valley;
Foster Luce, Rogue RiVer;
C. L. Eaker, Gold Hill; B. F.
Randolph, Illinois Valley; and
Conrad O. Nystrom, Merlin.
In his report Hatch report
er that the Engineers were
considering two alteratives on
the main stream of the Rogue
river, a dam at Lewis creek,
or a three dam system located
at Lost creek, Elk creek, and
Big Butte creek, downstream
from McNeil creek. He added
that the Lewis creek dam
would pay for its cost out of
power apd irrigation revenues
in addition, to flood control.
The three dam plan would
not return as much revenue,
he added.
Small Part
Hatch commented that the
studies have found that flood
contrpl is a small part of
problem in the Rogue river
basin. He explained that wa
ter reservoir development,
which would provide more
water during the Jate sum
mer, is more important.
The engineer reported that
two sites for dams were
checked on Evans creek, the
Meadows site and the Home
stead gulch site. He reported
that the second location seem
ed to be the better of the two
as it would be downstream
from Murphy creek to control
the west fork of the creek.
On Little Butte creek, the
Brownsboro site was not con
sidered as adequate a loca
Tribune
j4 c-e. lo
tion as Lake Creek site due
to other benefits in addition
to flood control. Also men
tioned was an Ashland dam
site on Bear creek, but Hatch
reported that the possibility
of such a dam was rather re
mote as the benefits would
be entirely from flood con
trol. He explained that the
areas could not depend on re
servoirs being filled mainly
by flood waters.
Not Considered
On tne Applegaie river, the
Ruch site was not considered
very good due to little con
trol of flooding, but a dam
in Copper canyon, he explain
ed, would furnish additional
water during late summer
and. would not interfer with
the fish spawning. He added
that no specific problems had
been brought to his attention
in the Illinois Valley and
Jump-Off -Joe areas" and wel
comed information from those
parts of the basin.
He stated that also being
considered in the study are
the bank eroison problems
and mentioned several areas
along. Bear creek and other
streams where retaining walls
should be constructed.
He added that nothing de
finite could belaid about the
study at the present time as
there has been no balancing
of costs against benefits. He
said that benefits are based
entirely on dollars and cents
basis and would take ' intd
consideration the migration
of fish,, water shed protection,
and power, if the reservoir is
of suitable' size.-
Approximately 60 person
attended .the. meeting in the
Josephine county courthouse.
Representatives from 43 of
the 74 member organizations
were present. Bill Jess, presi
dent of. the association, con
ducted the business meeting.

quit as staff members of a
House subcommittee which
had been investigating al
leged misconduct in federal
regularatory agencies.
They resigned as a result
of the subcommittee's action
Monday night in firing its
chief counsel. Dr. Bernard
Schwartz. Schwartz had ac
cused the subcommittee ma
jority of trying to "white
wash" his charges of White
House "influence" on deci
sions of the Federal Commu
nicatiops Commission.
Schwartz excepted Moulder
but the Missouri Democrat
told his colleagues he had
found it impossible to carry
on the investigation under
the circumstances. .
The 11-man subcommittee
met in secret session to re
ceive Moulder's formal resig
nation and to quiz Schwartz,
subpoenaed to appear and
surrender all of his files.
'Kangaroo Court'
Schwartz' two chief assist

Action Opposed '
By United States
Amman, Jordan W) Kin
Feisal of Iraq flew here today
to discuss a possible merger
with King Hussein of Jordan
that could take Iraq out of
the American-sponsored Bagh
dad Pact.
The kings are first cousins,
members of the Hashemite
dynasty, and young Hussein
was reported anxious for a
union with oil-rich Iraq to
counter the new merger of
Syria and Egypt into a fed
erated 1 Arab state.
Hussein also was reported
to have invited King Saud
of Saudi Arabia to the talks,
but no ' Saudi representative
was present. Informed sources
said Saud insisted that Iraq
leave the Baghdad Pact be
fore discussing any monarch
ist federation.
Unofficially Opposed
There was no official Ameri
can reaction to the contem
plated Iraqi-Jordanian merg
er, but unofficially the United
States was opposed to . the
move, especially if it would
weaken the an ti - Communist
Baghdad alliance.
The U.S. Embassy in Am
man said President Eisenhow
er had sent a letter to Hus
sein last Saturday, but it did
not 'disclose contents of the
note. The letter came after re
ports that Hussein was seek
ing a formal alliance with
Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
Informed sources said Fei
sal was accompanied to Am
man by Foreign Minister
Burhanuddin Bashayan, elder
statesman Nuri es-Said . and
possibly Feisal's uncle, Crown
Prince Abdul Ilah who nor
mally acts as regent in the
absence of the king. . J
Es-Said's reaction to the
proposed merger was not
known. But persistent reports
from Ankara during the rer
cent Baghdad Pact meeting
said he'was disenchanted with,
the support Iraq had received
from the other pact members.
Property Owners
Request Hearing
Property owners of th
Trail area whose land will be
involved in highway realign
ment over Trail creek have re
quested a public hearing by
the state highway commission,
according to the Jackson
county court.
In a letter stating the re
quest to the highway commis
sion, County Judge Rodney
Keating reported that the pub
lic hearing would be set at the
convenience of the commis
sion. He reported the county
court has received telephone
calls from Trail residents re
garding the proposed highway
construction, which would
straighten the existing align
ment with a new bridge over
Trail creek . about 500 . feet
south of the existing structure.
They were in favor of the
change, he said.
The public hearing request
was made by the property
owners mainly due to the lack
of adequate information re-"
ceived, Keating added. He ex
plained the map submitted by
the highway commission of
the construction was so small
land owners were unable to
get a clear picture of how
their property would be af
fected by the highway change.
