Dr. Mohammad T. Mehdi, director of the Arab Information center at San Francisco, so stated last night at a meeting of Med ford chapter, Oregon United Nations association, in Girls Community club. Dr. Mehdi reminded his audience that the United Na tions has made all decisions to the effect that the Arabs should be allowed to return, or be compensated for their homes and lands and added that if only a few could be returned each year, and giv en political rights, he believ ed they would form a bridge by way of which the Arabs and Jewish people could work out their problems in the Middle East. No Justification The speaker said that there was no more justification for re-settling the Jews from Europe and other parts of he world in Palestine than there was for putting them in Kan sas or Oregon in the United States. The Arabs, he declar ed, had been living in Pales- Surgery Patient Chester Leonard, 2529 Hillcrest rd., is a surgery patient at Rogue Valley hospital. Fire Flashes One person suffered burns and a four-by-six foot area of rug and floor was damaged in a blaze at the Robert M. Darnell home- on Griffin Creek rd. about 5:25 pjn. yesterday. Firemen said that they were told by the owner that his daughter had started a fire with gasoline in the fireplace. The blaze ignit ed the rug and floor and started a flu fire. The daugh ter suffered leg burns. A neighbor put out the blaze with an extinguisher before the firemen arrived. Bed Burns A fire starting from an electric blanket burned a 'bed early today, at the Miner T. Boshears home, 408 South Grape st., firemen said. They said they were told the Boshears son, Dennis, had turned the blanket heat con trol up high and it became too hot during the night. The con trol was turned lower but the blanket was still too hot. The boy turned the blanket off about 3:30 a.m. and went downstairs to sleep on a couch, firemen were informed. He returned to the room about 7:10 a. m. and found the bed burning. It was a total loss and smoke damage to the room was reported. NO SOCK? Hartford, Conn.

Cordy Mcconnell tine for 1,400 years. Not only did the Arabs in Palestine object to the creation of the new state, Dr. Mehdi said, but many of the Jews already living there also objected Since the Western world is forcing the Arabs to do what the Westerners them selves will hot do, it has caus ed the entire Arab world to hate the West, he said. He strongly criticized the United States government for the role it has played and said, "If the Arab world ever turns Communistic, it will be the fault of "Washington, D. C." He added that it is futile for this government to op pose the. merger of the Arab states for it will , be accom plished anyway and only re sult in more misunderstand ing and trouble between the Middle East and the West. Morally Wrong , Dr. Mehdi also declared that it is morally wrong and politically bad for the United States to support the French in their colonial program in Algeria. He likened the up risings by the Algerians to the Hungarian revolt a n 5 asked "Why do "Americans call the Hungarians 'freedom fighters' and the Algerians 'terrorists' when they do ex actly the same thing?" Dr. Mehdi explained before beginning his talk that he is a representative of the Arab government and the Arab league, and added .that the views he was about to ex press are those generally held by the young Arab in telligentsia. He added that while some of the Arabs do not agree with Nasser of Egypt, for the most part they believe his leadership is in finitely better than that pro vided by King Farouk and at least one step toward self- government by the people He reminded his listeners that modern Arab history be gan in 1914, and that the United States should not ex pect the Arab world to pro gress very far in that short a time. Questions, Answers Dr. Mehdi's talk was fol lowed by a long question and answer period. He said Arab disunity is deliberately fos tered by some of the West ern powers where the Zion ist influence is very strong, Nationalism is the greatest force in the Arab world to day, more powerful even than religion, and the greatest force against the spread of Communism in the Middle East, he declared. Asked about Algeria, he predicted that it would be come an independent nation shortly "either with the help of the United States or the help of Russia. Answer ing a question about the pos sibility of an armed move ment in the Middle East sparking a world wide war, Dr. Mehdi said the Arabs do not always believe that "sta bility is a virtue." The speaker urged his au dience to learn facts and truth about the Arab prob lem, and said the Arabs "re sent the big brother attitude inherent in the Eisenhower doctrine." He said at one point that the Arabs are more afraid of Zionism than of Communism. . Dr. Mehdi was introduced by Moore Hamilton, chapter president. MRS.

Merit Scholarship Competition to Include Juniors National Merit Scholarship competitions this year will begin with the testing of high school juniors rather than seniors, according to John M. Stalnaker, president cf the National Merit Scholarship corporation. The 1958-59 Merit program will begin with a new nation wide examination for second semester juniors and first semester seniors on April 29, 1958. Three previous national competitions, including the current one now in its final stages, have started with fall examinations given members of the senior classes. Mrs. Elsie Butler, high school scholarship adviser, said so far she does not know how many will take the test in Medford. It will be a three- hour test for the juniors "on education development, she said. The final grade will be based on a composite score which will probably include sections on science, history, mathematics, English and pos sibly reading. Sent to Chicago The test sheets will be sent to a board in Chicago to grade so the various school admin istrators can receive the scores early enough for coun seling, Mrs. Butler said. The scores should be in by August of this year, she added. This year four semi-finalists are in the contest. They are Sandra Buxton, Karen Sloni ger, Jim Corum and Jon Thompson. This National Merit Schol arship program will provide $1,000 scholarships this year worth some $5 million. Donors include some of the nations largest corporations and foun dations including Sears-Roebuck, IBM, and the Shell foundation.

Mountaineers tried to reach the boy Wednesday but had to give up because of a blizzard, heavy fog and darkness.

He lost his balance while hiking with school mates at the 5,000-foot level on the mountain. Rescuers re ported snow was from three inches to foot deep in the area. A deputy sheriff who help ed in the rescue attempt Wednesday night said he was lowered on a rope about 100 feet and could hear the boy'a cries.
