Little Rock Eyes Private Buildings Little Rock, Ark. -OJPB- The Little Rock Private School Corporation announced today that it will open private, seg regated schools in private buildings next week if it can't use four closed high schools. At the same time, the cor poration appealed for public contributions to operate the schools and asked citizens to report any suitable private buildings around Little Rock that might be used for schools. Dr. T. J. Raney, president of the corporation, announced the corporation's plans at a news conference. Copco's Big Bend Plant Dedicated This Morning The California Oregon Power company's Big Bend plant on the Klamath river be low Keno, the first of eight hydroelectric plants the com pany plans to build in the up per Klamath river basin, was dedicated this morning. The Big Bend plant is the largest in the Copco system with a capacity of 80,000 kilo watts. Construction of the project started in July 1956, and at the peak of construction about 700 men were employed on the project. Final cost of the project is estimated at $12,400,000, Copco officials said. Power generated by the Big Bend plant is fed into the company's system at Klamath Falls and Medford over a 230,000 volt transmission line The Great Leap Forward Export From Ohiima (This is the fourth of five London Observer Far East chief an extensive tour of Communist to escape censorship.) By DENNIS BLOODWORTH HTNS-London Observer Service Singapore-The Chungking Iron and Steel Works looked as if they had been struck by the blast from an atomic bomb. Three furnaces were brick ruins and the internal railway system was largely unusable, blocked by a metallurgical litter of abandoned castings, rusty overturned trucks and buckled plates. But: "We are producing 500,000 tons of steel this year," the works manager told me, "but in 15 months' time we will treble that output." i I stared at him in frank disbelief. In 1955 the Chinese were already in the grip of a mania for industrialization and I was treated then to some very fancy figuring. But the spectacular advances made under the first Five Year Plan are now regarded as mere plodding and statistics for the second seem to have grown wings. 'Great Leap Forward' Urged China's leaders have urged their 640 millions to make a "Great Leap Forward" to "catch up or overtake Britain" industrially in 15 years or less. The Chinese have been made aware of their countrys tremendous possibilities, of coal reserves estimated to be more than 1,000 times those of Britain, of hydro-electric potential greater than that of all the major countries of the Western world put together. There is not only a sharpening of the appetites of 1955, but a radical, perhaps dangerous, change in policy. Con demning the "vulgar theory of balance," Chinese economists now claim that disequilibrium between the various sectors of productive activity is normal. Production should never be slowed down in order to achieve a balance. Any such adjustments should be made "upwards." The speed of a convoy is the speed of its fastest ship. According to original estimates, for example, seven mil lion tons of steel would be produced this year, 12 million tons by 1962. Then, a few months ago, it was decided that production could be made to leap to 17 million tons in 1959. Kow it is claimed that even this year's production may top , I million tons. The figures for next year have therefore already become incalculable. Workers Permitted to 'Volunteer' The Chinese say that results like this can be achieved by building new plants and enlarging existing ones, by using new and revolutionary techniques, and by permitting the enthusiastic workers to "volunteer" for extra chores. But there are other factors. The mixture of frenzied activity and appalling disorder at the Chungking Iron and Steel Works is typical of all China. Economic development has become a crash operation, and despite admonitions to produce "more economically" as well as "faster and better, everything, is-sacrificed on the, .altar. ,oJL the production target. The Chinese slash designing time by ruthlessly copying foreign designs. Machines are run at unprecedented speeds, temperatures raised well above accepted limits in heating operations. At Chungking technicians were claiming to get 90 tons of steel out of furnaces with a 50-ton capacity, and in Shanghai I saw three rolls of sheet being fed simultan eously into plastic processing machines made to take only one.

The line was put into service in Septem ber, 1958. Cost of the line was about $1,800,000, and the total cost, including new sub stations, was about $3,529,000 officials said. Among those attending the dedication ceremonies were Copco President A. S. Cum mins, and John C. Boyle, com pany vice president and gen eral manager and chief pro ject engineer. Water operating the plant comes from Upper Klamath lake, Lost river and other sources in the basin above Keno. Water is diverted in the Klamath by an earth-fill dam 652 feet long to a 14-foot steel pipe 600 feet long. Two pen stocks 819 feet long drop the water into the generating plant, from where it returns to the river channel. articles on Red China Today by the correspondent.

Curt Nesheim, warden for the southwest district, Oregon department of forestry, and Carroll Brown, supervisor of Rogue River National forest, asked hunters and others go ing into the forests to use ex treme caution with any type of fire. They stressed extinguishing warming and camping fires before leaving the scene, and asked people to watch smok ing. Areas 'which are closed to travel in the regular season still are closed since the sea son has not officially been de clared ended, the pointed out. Closures Limited The said closures are lim ited to small areas of high fuel such as slash areas. Most of the areas ' will remain closed until after the next rain. People going into the mountains may check on closed areas by contacting either the state department of forestry or the forest service. Nesheim and Brown said the forests are dryer now than they were prior to the last rain about Sept. 15, and fire danger now is higher than during the average summer day. East winds and low humid ity have resulted in the high fire danger. The winds have been 'generar-"ver this-apea; they noted. Trickery Charged By Sen. Morse Washington - (UPD - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) accused Secretary of State John Foster Dulles today of trickery" and "deception" which he said violates a 1955 "understand ing" that the Senate could ratify any proposed defense of Quemoy and Matsu. Morse reiterated his demand for "impeachment" of Presi dent Eisenhower and Dulles if they persist - in what he called a "warlike course of action" over the China off shore islands. The Foreign Relations Com mittee member said that Dulles entered into an "un derstanding" with the commit tee's 1955 chairman, the late Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) in order to secure ratification of the mutual defense treaty with Nationalist China. "It was distinctly under stood by the Senate at the time that any proposal to in clude the Quemoys and Matsus in the defense obligations of the United States was to be brought back to the Senate for ratification," Morse said in .a statement. That He's Paying Us Ride" Copyright. 1KB. The Pulitzer Pushing Co-.S-., Louis PoaL-niSBatcii - MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1958 e deoffffin'inniS T 0 -N g PORTER VISITS Rep. Charles O. Porter, who arrived in Medford today, spent some time this morning greeting "the man on the street" as part of the activities of his two-day campaign visit in the area. He is shown above talking with Central Point resident Kenneth Lamb and his daughter, Susan, 3. Lamb told Porter that in spite of being a registered Republican, his vote Porter Arrives Here On Campaign Tour Congressman Charles O. Porter, Eugene, arrived in Medford last night for two days of campaigning. He began by accusing his Republican opponent, Paul Geddes of Roseburg, of vio lating the "Code of Fair Cam paign Practices" in at least nine instances, and called upon Geddes to sign the Code, as Porter has done. The Code, adopted by an inter-party committee, is de signed to make the public aware that candidates signing it intend to conduct their cam paigns in the American tradi tion of fair play, the Demo cratic congressman said. Among other things, the Code condemns the use ot campaign material which mis represents, distorts or other wise falsifies the facts re garding any candidate, and it is this section which Porter said Geddes has violated at least nine times. The instances cited by Port er include allegations by Geddes that he (Porter) has lost important military bases in Latin America by his activ ities, that he has advocated stopping H-bomb testing be fore Russia does, that Porter wants to appease Red China, imports on one hand and that he is a "tool" of labor bosses on the other, that he had the duty to press the Interstate Commerce Commission re garding freight rate changes, that he had carried a gun in the halls of congress, that he is unpopular with his col leagues, and that he had voted for the omnibus farm bill. Each of these is either un true or a distortion of fact, Porter declared. Campaign on Streets The congressman arrived here late last night after meet ings in Grants Pass, and this morning was campaigning on the streets. He scheduled a visit to the labor temple, and to Wilbur Gardner, the Med ford shoe repairman whose campaign for proper labeling of shoes Porter has assisted. This afternoon he was to visit mills in the area, ac companied by Mark Norton, Phoenix, his county campaign manager. An open house, to which the public is invited, will be held between 7 and 9 p.m. to night at the Nortons' home in Phoenix. Tomorrow he will hold of fice hours at his Medford of fice, in the suite of the Kelly and Kelly law firm in the Goldy building, from 9 a.m. to noon, and in the afternoon he will meet with groups and pp$e individuals, and will visit Camp White. Tomorrow between 7 and 9 p.m. he will attend a "Coffee With Your , Congressman" at the Democratic headquarters at the Esquire theater. The coffee is open to the public. On Friday he will take a "day off" from his strenuous campaign schedule, and go fishing on the . Rogue river with friends. , Friday evening he will re turn to Eugene, but will be back in Jackson county again before the November election. In his campaigning, Porter said he is emphasizing the "positive side of his accom plishments - the things which he has been able to do for the Fourth district during his first term in Congress. He cited such things as a reacti vation of preliminary studies for Rogue Basin development, port work along the coast, saving of lower Rogue scenic areas through a Forest Service trade, helping obtain federal assistance for construction of the new Josephine county air port, and a number of other accomplishments i n other parts of the district. Applications for Absentees Ready Applications for absentee ballots are being accepted by the county elections depart ment, County Clerk Bereth P. Hopkins reminded residents today. Mrs. Hopkins added that ab sentee ballots have been sent to the printers and will be mailed as soon as they are re ceived by the county. Voters pamphlets will again be mailed . and addressed lo cally, the county clerk said, and will include a facsimile of the sample ballot and a list of polling places for the area. She explained that the rea son for including the list of polling places was to enable the elections department to reach all registered voters in the county. It has been found in the past, she said, that the polling information has not been received by all the vot ers. Schools of instruction for election boards in Medford have been completed, it was reported. Mrs. Hopkins will conduct the schools in Ash land today with other schools scheduled in Ruch, Rogue River, Shady Cove, ' Eagle Point, anc Central Point. Hots Am would go to Porter because of the delegate's interest in the Rogue river flood control project. Porter planned to visit a number of sawmills in the area today and will be present at an open house at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Norton, Phoenix, to night. He will also hold office hours Thurs day morning at the office of attorneys Kelly and Kelly in the Goldy building, Medford. Man Arrested for Paying in Cash on Gambling Device Central Point Henry A. Ditmanson, 221V4 North HoP ly St., Medford, was arrested by Central Point city and state police yesterday after noon on charges of operating and paying off in cash on a gambling device. Central Point Police Chief Wallace Bowen said Ditman son was arrested at the Valley Billard hall,' 220 East Pine st. His arrest, Bowen said, re sulted from numerous com plaints from parents that teenagers were losing their high school lunch money on pinball machines. Ditmanson posted $200 bail and is scheduled to appear in Central Point muncipal court Oct. 10. The machine involv ed was confiscated by Central Point police. Bowen said he closed the pool hall, and it will remain closed .until he decides when it should again open. Made 50 Payoffs Bowen . said. Ditmanson, . in a statement to city and state police, told, them he had been employed at the hall about seven .weeks, and . had. made about 50 payoffs in cash from pinball machines. Amounts of payoffs ranged from 5 cents to $10, Ditmanson told offic ers.- A 17-year-old boy told of ficers he had been paid off about 20 times in the past few months from machines in the pool hall, police reported. . Forest Service Puts Out Mt. Ashland Fire Forest service crews yes terday morning extinguished a two-acre timber fire along the Mt. Ashiand Loop rd., on the edge of the Ashland Water shed, forest service officials said today. The fire, which they said apparently was - man-caused, was spotted about dark Mon day night. Crews were at the scene all night. Exact cause of the blaze was not determined. Hunting Season To Open on Schedule Salem -UPD- Gov. Robert Holmes said today, "the hunt ing season will open on sched ule." The announcement giving hunters the green light for the Saturday opening of deer season was made following consultations with game and iorestry officials on the con dition of forests. liressnoift Withdrawal of;' Nationalists Seen Ac firm tnliilinn US llllt. President To Have Physical Checkup Washington -UPD-President Eisenhower today reaffirmed U.S. determination to oppose Communist aggression in the Far East. He said this country will not retreat in the face of force. The President told his news conference that withdrawal of Chinese Nationalist forces from Quemoy and Matsu has been considered as one pos sible solution to the Formosa crisis. But he said he was not sure this was the final answer on which everyone could agree. Chiang Seen Unwise He said that he, like Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles, believed Generalissi mo Chiang Kai-shek had been unwise in commiting such large forces on the offshore islands. . The President emphasized, however, that people should not become so preoccupied with specific geographical as pects of the China crisis as to lose si pht of the tnainr rian. ger which lay in the broad Communist threat to the en tire Free World. . : Eisenhower was asked twice during the conference to say whether he believed "demilitarization" of Quemoy and Matsu or reduction of the Nationalist forces there offer a possible solution of the crisis. Must Avoid Retreat He replied twice that he could conceive of no possible solution which the U.S. and its allies had not considered, but that the basic issue re mained to avoid retreat in the face of force. The second time he replied that if there is a cease fire at Quemoy, there will be an op portunity to negotiate in good faith., But he was not certain. that demilitarization was the final answer on which every one could' agree. The chief executive, in re sponse to questioning, made it clear that the VS. had not altered its firm opposition to admitting Red China to the United Nations. The President also: ' Announced that the atomic submarine Seawolf had now been submerged for 54 days, going far beyond the previous record of 31 days. It is still . going strong, he said, and on the way to a new record that would be hard to beat. To Enter Hospital Said he will enter Walter Reed Army hospital this week end for his annual physical. checkup. He said he was an nouncing it himself because he did not want anyone to get the idea -that his presence at the hospital was evidence of new illness. Criticized apathy and complacency within the Re publican party in this election year, calling for a strong GOP effort on all levels of" the party to further the moderate aims of his administration and keep government out of the gutter. Said that at no time had he instructed anyone to re quest the resignation of Sher man Adams as his assistant although there was no doubt that others had advised Adams in strong terms to gt out even weeks and months before Adams made his actual announcement.
