10A MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Ore., Friday, April It, 1958 Khrushchev in First Blunder Since Taking Over as Premier Br CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent Nikita S. Khrushchev has just made his first blunder since he took over as premier of Soviet Russia two weeks ago. Addressing a mass meeting of steel workers at Stahn varos, Hungary, last Satur day, Khiushchev said that Hungary could not count on Russian intervention in the event of a new revolt His statement seems to have alarmed Hungarian and other Communist satellite leaders. They feared that it might offer encouragement to the workers, intellectuals and students who a"re becoming more and more restive under Red rule So on Tuesday, Khrushchev reversed himself in another speech at the coal-mining town of Tatabanya This time, Khrushchev said that Russia would intervene if necessary. Claimed Distortion He exDlained that "bour geois journalists" had distort ed his SDeech at Stahnvaros. What he really said, he told the coal miners, was that the Hungarian regime should make itself so strong that no revolt would be attempted. Unfortunately, Khrushchev's original speech was published by the official Hungarian News Agency M. T. I., not merely by "bourgeois journ alists. Khrushchev's blunder, rela- j tively minor in itself, empha sizes the difference in his status since he assumed the Soviet prime ministry on March 7, after ousting Pre mier Nikolai A. Bulganin. Bulganin, of colorless per sonality, was what might be called a "safe" man. It was not necessary for him to back track on any statements he made. Can't Pop Off But Khrushchev, as first secretary of the Communist Party before he became pre mier, became famed for his 1 SAVE MONEY!

Central at TOth 87 Cases Handled By Dental Clinic Eighty-seven cases were handled by the new Kiwanis club-sponsored dental clinic in the county courthouse dur ing March. Dwight Houghton reported to members of the service club at their Wednes day luncheon meeting. Houghton is chairman of the Kiwanis committee hand ling aid to underprivileged children. He said that the co operating dentists had filled 137 teeth and had handled 47 extractions. He said that this assistance is equal to' that ac complished by Kiwanians in dental aid in the four pre vious years. The Kiwanis club has pro vided the financial backing and Jackson county dentists and the city and county school systems are cooperating in the project. Dentists donate their services one-half day per month. A group of 10 St. Mary's High school girls provided a program of vocal music at the Wednesday Kiwanis meeting at Rogue Valley Country club. President Bill Singler an nounced that Art Savard will be general chairman for the second annual Kiwanis Town and Country Holiday next August. Mrs. Del Wright was pre sented a check for her sketch ing in connection with the printed program for the Ki wanis Kapers. A check for Kapers art work was returned to the club by Bill McCorkle. frank, often highly provoca tive "off-the-cuff" remarks at diplomatic receptions. As a Communist leader and not a member of the Soviet government, Khrushchev could make such remarks and get away with them. i But if he continues, in his capacity of leader of the Soviet government, to make such statements it will mean trouble both for himself and for the foreign governments with which Russia does busi ness. There is a great deal of difference between an inflam atory remark made by a Com munist Party leader and one made by a premier who is his country's highest - ranking spokesman. It will be a good thing for Khrushchev personally, for Russia and for the world if he learns that while a Com munist Party leader can pop off and get away with it, a premier can not.

Ike Expected To Take Pentagon Plan To People Washington (IP) President Eisenhower intends to take his case for Pentagon reor ganization directly to the American people in an all-out fight against congressional op position to the plan. The President, who usual ly tries to avoid open clashes with Congress, has left no doubt that- he is in a fighting mood and will use every means at his command to put his plan over. In unusually blunt lan guage, he said he didn't "care how strong ... or how num erous" his congressional foes might be. He said his defense reorganization proposals "will go swimmingly once people really understand" them. Plans Broadcasts To achieve that end, he said, he would appear on na tionwide radio and television broadcasts as often as pos sible to win public support for Pentagon "moderniza tion" that he called "neces sary" for the nation's safety. Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said later the first such appearance would come on April 17, when the Chief Executive addresses Ameri can and foreign newspaper editors here. Hagerty said he understood arrangements were being made for nation wide radio-TV coverage. The Eisenhower plan would give Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy greater power over military spending, or ganization and strategy. 4 CLUB -mi HEWS Antelope 4-H Clothing Club The Antelope 4-H Clothing club held a meeting at Terry Lee's home on April 5.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington It's been a tough winter in Washington, any way you stack it up for l n s p e c tion. The Weather Bureau says we h a v e n't had so much cold snow since the 1920s, and some claim it goes back to before the t .i iuiij oi me A Robt smitb century, about 1870. The La bor Department says we haven't had so much bad news on the unemployment front since the 1930s. And the Soviets, - most everyone here will concede, have been giving us more chills this winter than at any time since the cold war began. What this tired capital city needed most, perhaps, in this winter of uneasiness was an other Will Rogers who might at least keep us smiling, if no closer to the v solutions. So it was with considerable relief that a local theatre this week offered the silent film, "Will Rogers (JJoes to Con gress," a well-worn but still laugh-provoking masterpiece from the days of Calvin Coolidge's administration. "Do you think we will rec ognize the Russians?" Will is asked, as today many law makers are asked about our relations with Red China. "Not if they don't shave," remarks Rogers. During his election cam paign, Will is in a public de bate with the incumbent, a seasoned politician who doffs his high silk hat long enough to promise the crowd "relief for the poor and justice for the rich." Forced to outdo this appeal Rogers gets to his feet and says dryly: "What this country needs most is . . . rain. "And I'll do my best to get it for you." The crowd goes wild, his opponent bawls out his cote rie of managers, and Will is elected. On the train to Washington, Rogers discovers the useful ness of a briefcase properly lettered in goldleaf. After go ing unnoticed for the budding statesman he believes himself to be, Rogers flashes his brief case, which says, "The Hon orable A. Doolittle, Washing ton, D.C." It even gets him a seat in the crowded wash room. - "What do you think will be the result of all them scan dals?" ' one of the washroom crowd asks him, apparently referring to the recent events of the Harding era. "Probably teach 'em to be more careful," replies "Con gressman Doolittle. Before Rogers was chosen as the party's candidate by a group of solid citizens who each smoked cigars around a small, round table during their deliberations, another man was proposed. A wiser head, recalling the delicacy of certain matters (apparent ly the Teapot Dome Oil scan dal), declared: "S o me one might bring up the fact that he once worked in an oil filling station." When the train pulls into Washington's Union station, the crowd in the theatre got it's biggest laugh. ' The sub title flashed on the screen said:. Washington the na tion's amusement center. Expecting the president to be down at the station to meet him, Will is not sur prised at the crowd as he steps off the train. But he quickly discovers that people in the capital don't pay too much heed to just another "honorable." As he prepares to greet them, the people dash down to the next car to find whom they were seeking, a visiting movie idol in from Hollywood. Sadder but wiser, Will walks to the capitol and mounts the steps (in those jerky movements that typify the silent movies) for the not-so-glamorous task of repre senting a people whose scale of values somehow places the public lawmaker some notches below the public lovemaker. The tough winter is about over. The magnolia trees are blossoming. Business is show ing more signs of life. And as for the Soviet challenge, the lawmakers are on the hust ings telling the people: "What this country needs most is the moon. And I'll do my best to get it for you."! Seven Years Ruled For Disappearance Salem UPl A person who disappears and, despite dili gent search and inquiry, has not been heard from for seven years is presumed to be dead, according to Attorney Gener al Robert Y. Thornton. Thornton said that barring any peculiar circumstances surrounding the ' disappear ance, the time of death is pre sumed to be the day following the last day' of the seven-year period. Thornton's opinion was giv en in answer to a query by Max M. Manchester, execu tive secretary of the Public Employees Retirement Board. MRS.
