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.

Fire danger in southwestern

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

of fire.
They stressed extinguishing
warming and camping fires
before leaving the scene, and
asked people to watch smok

Closures Limited
The said closures are lim

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

East winds and low humid

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.

PORTER VISITS Rep. Charles O. Porter,
who arrived in Medford today, spent some
time this morning greeting "the man on

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

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.

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
