On both sijes of the Iron Curtain experts are trying to assess ho is ahead at this point of the six-months strug gle, in whiclfethe United States and Russia are in direct and opn competition for one of the few times since the end of the wartime partnership. This summing-up week, the ftlf-wiy mark in the fair whieh opened April 17. Gross amissions have passed 17, 0,000 with the holiday half f the fair yet to come. So the final total in October may b near 40,000,000. Both nations have recog nized in this multitude a unique chance to promote good will and public relations on a mammoth scale. The question they have been ask ing themselves this week is: How well have we seized it?

Mrs. Bottel Returns From Eugene Meeting Cave Junction Mrs. Rob ert (Helen) Bottel has re turned from Eugene where she appeared on the Editor's and Publisher's panel at the second annual Writers' Round up sponsored by the Eugene branch of the National League of American Pen Women in cooperation with the University of Oregon. Appearing on the panel with Mrs. Bottel was John Armstrong, Sunday and fea tures editor of the Oregonian; and Bob Frazier, associate editor of the Eugene Register Guard. Kay Lundeen, wom an's editor of the Register Guard was moderator. Confers First Degree Cave Junction The de gree team of the Illinois Val ley Grange conferred the first degree in long form on two candidates, Mrs. Art Kellert and Mrs. Ray Heidenreich, at a recent meeting. Grange Master Jiggs Mor ris conferred the second de gree in short form. The Illinois Valley Grange :s one of the few Granges in the state to have a full form degree team. guile, the United States is con ducting its summing up mostly in public. Congressmen have attacked the American exhibit as incomplete, misleading or inept. American tourists have complained so often there is a wry saying around the American pavilion: Scratch a taxpayer and you'll find a critic. President Eisenhower asked George V. Allen of the U. S Information Agency to fly over for a look. He liked most of what he saw. Former Presi dent Hoover, who used to deal with fairs as a federal officer, came over and said the U. S display was "magnificent.'.' Defenders and detractors made such a hullabaloo they missed the cries of anguish from the Soviet Pavilion where Russia, too, was con ducting a midway clinic. A few days ago a glum member of the Soviet staff complained private, "Y o u can't satisfy everybody." It might have been coincidence that a few hours earlier Dep uty Premier Anastas Mikoyan had departed for the Kremlin after some reportedly harsh criticism of the Sputnik ex hibit. Architectures Differ This proud centerpiece of the Soviet building a real Sputnik which was to have gone up if the first failed to orbit, and a full scale model of Sputnik Two is displayed completely without imagina tion. Furthermore Russian tour ists seem to be just as critical though not aggressively so as American tourists. The Russian building is a glass and steel rectangle the size of an armory. American architect Edward A. Stone fashioned for the U. S. a beau tiful circular building, and there is not the slightest doubt that architecturally the Amer. ican Pavilion overwhelms the Russian building. Even Rus sian technicians have been heard admitting this many times. But the exhibits are more important propaganda than the buildings. Russia has poured $50 million into ham mering home the following message instantly and bluntly to whoever crosses its threshold: Forty-five years ago Russia was a land of wooden plows today it pioneers the space. All over the vast hall the theme of the great advance is repeated 1913 against 1958 in housing, in education, in industry and the arts. Pulls the Crowds But Brussels is the soft sell, and the one million season ticket holders and the multi tude of others who cotaie more than once seem to find the American Pavilion more re warding than the Russian. It has three of the biggest crowd pullers at the fair an hourly display of inexpensive fash ions by beautiful models, "Cinerama," a circular screen color film of a trip across the United States, and American voting machines. The American Pavilion is the only one open after 7 p.m. till 11 p.m. It is the only one with free washrooms and don't think there isn't propa ganda value in that! It has the most guides 200 young men and women from every state in the union, all linguists. Vis itors enjoy talking with them whereas it is difficult to find anyone to explain something in the Russian Pavilion. Since the fair opened, Unit ed Press International corres pondents have spoken to hun dreds, of tourists from many lands about the Russian-U. S. rivalry. From these talks it appears that women nearly always prefer the American Pavilion to the Russian. Farm ers, laborers and technicians are more impressed with the Soviet display. White collar workers, students and pro fessional men prefer the American layout. It's Neck and Neck It is difficult to find unbi ased visitors since even many Swedes and Swiss have East or West sympathies. But one neutral, Andre Berguer, press attache of the Swiss exhibit, said: "I don't understand the crit icism of the American Pavil ion. It's the most beautiful of them all and better than the Russian Pavilion, inside and out." The American and the Rus sian pavilions are drawing two and three times as many people a day as any other pop ular exhibit such as the Brit ish, Dutch, Swiss and Czech. United Press International correspondents, spot checking visitors to each pavilion, found a slightly larger number in favor of the American display. What is appears to add up to at this half-way mark is that at Brussels it's a neck and neck East-West race with the next three months telling the story.

Eisenhower on his arrival from Costa Rica. Eisenhower was scheduled to arrive this morning by plane from San Jose. Nicar agua is the fourth stop on his good-will study mission tour of the Central American re publics as the personal repre sentative of his brother, Presi dent Eisenhower. The only discordant note was sounded by university students. Oh Saturday, the "university center" issued a manifesto criticizing Eisen hower. Students' Charges The students charged Ei senhower did not come to strengthen friendly ties but to subject still further the Nicaraguan economy and po litical policies to the inter ests of "certain ruling circles of the United States." Eisenhower was received with similar expressions of hostility by university stu dents in the first three repub lics he visited, Panama, Costa Rica and Honduras. There has been no recurrence of the vio lence which marred the Latin American tour this spring of Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Eisenhower said he was tak ing with him for study in Washington a number, of memoranda on various burn ing issues, including a pro posal for refunding Costa Rica's Dublic debt with a $30 million credit, and proposals to ensure stabilization of cof fee prices. Sputnik Rocket Visibility Told Portland (UPD Robert W. Boarwell, captain of the Oregon Moonwatch team, said the rocket of Sputnik III will be passing over the city of Portland during the early morning hours the next few days and should be visible, weather permitting. He gave the Sputnick pas sages as follows: . Tuesday, 2:58 a.m. in the northeast sky, 42 degrees above the horizon. Wednesday, 3:03 a.m. di rectly overhead. Thursday, 3:06 a.m. in the southwest sky, 52 degrees above the horizon. Nevada Gambling Figure Succumbs Hollywood (UPD Mert Mertheimer, one of the lead ers of legalized gambling in Nevada and a well known for mer Detroit and Miami gam bling figure, died of leukemia Sunday at Cedars of Lebanon hospital. He was 74. e Wertheimer, a native of Ceyboygan, Mich., had been under a doctor's care for a year. He was. brought to Hollywood two weeks ago when it was discovered he was suffering from a fatal disease. The widely known gambler owned the Riverside Hotel ca sino in Reno where he had lived for the past 10 years. By DAYTON MOORE United Press International Washington (UPD Back stairs at the White House: Calm and determined. This was the consensus at the White House of how President Eisenhower came through the first five days of the Mid east crisis. It was the general opinion of his aides, visitors and newsmen who covered his reading of -a statement Tues day for radio and television recorded for broadcast. The President's demeanor at times1 was on the grim side t understandably but he ap peared in good spirits never theless. Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder, the President's physician, was understood to be well satis fied with the way the chief executive was bearing up. As has been his practice since the President's heart attack in 1955 Snyder saw Eisen hower three times daily at the start, midway and at the end of his work day. Officer Named To Humane Society William O- Herring has been named humane officer of the Southern Oregon Hu mane Society, it has been an nounced. He will be located at 2910 Table Rock rd., on property retained by the so ciety. Mrs. W. O. Gibbs and T. ,C. Grooms are new directors this year, replacing members whose terms had expired. The President has been un dergoing about once a month at the White House a fairly detailed examination by Sny der and consulting physicians from the Army's Walter Reed Medical Center. They are not as thorough as head to toe checkups and findings of the physicians are not made pub lic. The fact that 'the Presi dent hasn't been put through a complete physical examin ation at the Army hospital since last November supports statements of White House sources that nothing wrong has been noted in the monthly checkups. During the first days of the crisis -4he President had to California had a vehicle mileage death rate of six death per 100,000 miles of travel in 1957, the National Automobile Club reported. This is an "improvement" over the 6.6 rate set in 1953. cut short his usual middav rest period. He was able to rest an hour or an hour and a half most days instead of his usual two hours. He also passed up the round of midweek golf he usually plays on the Burning Tree Club here. However; he prac ticed each day, except Friday when it rained, for about 30 minutes on the White House south lawn. An aide said the President found the banging of 75 to 100 golf balls his most effective way to relieve tension. Alexander K. Kislov, repre senting Russia's Tass News Agency, attended most of White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty's news con ferences during the first days of the crisis. He is accredited to cover the White House but spends little time there ex cept when there are big in ternational developments. Al though he could, he did not question Hagerty. He recently was assigned, at his request, a regular seat at the President's news con ferences. For most reporters covering the presidential news conferences seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, seats are assigned reporters for the American wire services and radio and television networks, the Brit ish and French wire services and a few U.S. newspapers who cover the White House regularly.
