State Methodists Urge Recognition Of Red China Portland (UPI) Recogni tion of Red China by the Unit ed Nations was urged in a resolution adopted by the Oregon Methodist Conference Thursday. The Conference, in voting in favor of the resolution, asked steps be taken "to ful fill the responsibilities of the free world, and the United States in particular, for the safety and well-being of refu gees from the Chinese Com munist dictatorship, especial ly in Formosa." Some Object The resolution was passed over the objection of some. Max McMillen, attorney from Grants Pass, said Red China should be kept out of the U.N. "for the very obvious reason that we want to demonstrate to the world that we are op posed to the enslavement of people of this world. Red China is the antithesis of the Christian way of life ..." The Rev. Horace H. Mounts, Beaverton, said "other nations are going to move ahead and face this issue. We have Rus sia in the U.N. and if you have observed the relationship that exists between the United States and Russia, you will not that there is a great ex change of ideas. I think this is healthy." , Efforts Favored The Conference also went on record favoring local ef forts to promote Sunday fam ily day observance and clo sure of businesses on that day. It was explained that the resolution made no reference to present U.S. policy toward Red China and was not sug gesting recognition of Red China by this country.

(UPI TeUphoto) Medforivj'Tribune Medford Nicks GP In Legion Fracas Medford's Crater Lake Mo tors American Legion baseball crew seems bent on creating suspense and giving the home town fans a thrill. by waiting until the last possible oppor tunity to wrap up their con tests. Last night Calvin Dean swiped home with two out in the seventh inning to break up the tussle and give the Motor men a 10 to 9 nod over the Grants Pass Mock Ford Sales in a non-league scrap. It was the second time this week that Medford had scored in the fi nal panel to claim a decision. Tally was tied at 9-all when Crater Lake came to bat in the seventh. Dean led off by getting a base on balls from GP tosser Roy Harris. He was sacrificed to second by Ray Konopasek and took third on a passed ball. Garland Lowery fanned but Wayne Thompson was issued a walk. Cal Dean Scores On the double steal maneu ver, Thompson headed for sec ond, drawing a throw to that base from Catcher Gary Huneycutt. Thompson held up in his dash, avoiding a tag out at second base and Dean was able to scoot across the plate. There was no further attempt to run down Thompson and he never got to second base. But neither was necessary for the run wrote finish to the hassle. . The fracas was a loose one over the first three innings and tightened up over most of the rest of the route. Grants Pass outhit the locals 14 to six but Medford put five of their bingles into a second in ning basket for six runs. Lowell Dean singled twice and Konopasek, Thompson and Bob Quinney each once in Nagy Trial Said Held Recently Budapest (UPI) Hun gary's freedom Premier Imre Nagy and his co-defendants sentenced to death for the 1956 uprising were tried in Budapest "not too long ago," Hungarian State Prosecutor Geza Szenasi said today. All the defendants appealed for clemency during the 12 day trial held in Budapest's Supreme Court building, Sze nasf told western newsmen during today's session of Par liament. -' The clemency appeal made according to Hungarian law was turned down, he added. Under questioning, Szenasi said the trial "was held this year, not too long ago." Earlier, he parried the same question, saying faceti ously that the trial took place "before the verdict was passed." Ha refused, 'however, to say exactly when the verdict was handed down or when the ex ecutions took place. Szenasi maintained that the trial was "not secret." He said it was "closed" for reasons of "state interest." He said thathad the trial been public it probably would have been exploited by some western countries to slander and tell lies about Hungary.
