J Communism Appears Roofed in Minds of Chinese People, UP! President Declares San is no strong evidence that Communism in China has rooted itself permanently in the minds of its 600-million people, Frank H. Bartholo mew told a group of civil and industrial leaders here today. Bartholomew, president and general manager of United Press International, said evi dence seems to support the contrary view that the masses consider themselves under the rule of "still another war lord." "They go about their busi ness as they have for thou sands of years regardless of whose flag is flying. "P rivate armies have marched and counter-marched across the land through all recorded history, and to the Chinese peasants the present armies of Mao and Chiang Kai-Shek may be more of the same. Future Will Tell 'There has been speculation as to what will happen to free China when Chiang Kai-shek dies. Perhaps curiously, there has been little speculation as to the future of Communism on mainland China if Mao and Chou-en-lai were re moved by death. These events themselves will reveal wheth- Francisco UPI) There I er for the first time a foreign ideology has really rooted it self into China, or whether Mao and Chou-en-lai are merely praising war lord who held the reins of government in their time because no stronger war lord successfully challenged them." Meantime, he said, UPI is preparing to cover stories of Communist agitation through out Asia. "As far back as July 3," he said, "our correspondents were reporting impending trouble in the Quemoy-For-mosa area. Trouble Widespread "There is trouble along the border of Red China and Bur ma. The atmosphere invRan goon is tense. In Indonesia, the situation is far from set tled. India is in desperate economic straits. With her 400-million people, India is a logical target of Communism. "Even in Japan, the big in dustrial nation of Asia, Prime Brando's Vife Plans Divorce Hollywood -l'PD- Actress Anna Kashfi, complaining of Marlon Brando's "indiffer ence and neglect," Tuesday night disclosed her intentions of divorcing the moody actor. The dark-haired beauty told her close friend, Actress Pier Angeli, that her decision was "final and conclusive." She had rented an apartment and moved out of Brando's hill top home because he was "never there." Miss Kashfi's decision to di vorce Brando carne 11 days less than a year since they were married in a surprise ceremony. The announcement of di vorce also came on the act ress' 24th birthday. She took her and Brando's 4-month-old son. Christian Devi, with her to her new home. Asked about reports of trouble between Brando and the actress, Miss Angeli, who is having marital problems with singer Vic Damone, said: "Yes, it is true,, Anna wants a divorce. She called me to night and told me about it." Minister Kishi is very wor ried about the growing strength of the extreme leftists. "On the other side of the world, our correspondents re port an increase in Arab na tionalism. "We may not have seen the last country fall under Nas ser's sway. Western diplo mats are agreed the Arab na tionalism Nasser represents cannot be stopped. Howeyer, they also agree he is his own man, although in practice he gives the appearance of being hostile to the West. This may improve in the next few months. East Europe Tense "The Jordanian position is most delicate. Jordan could not survive without outside help. "Our European correspond ents tell me Eastern Europe is now in the greatest ferment since the autumn of 1956, be fore 'Polish October' when Gomulka came to power, and Bloody November' when Hungary rose. "But perhaps the biggest story there will be the run ning feud between Yugoslavia I and the Communist bloc. "We all are looking forward with interest to the congress of the Soviet Communist Party, now moved up to Janu ary, 1959, from 1960. "At the previous congress, in February, 1956, Khru shchev made his surprise in dictment of Stalin." Bartholomew spoke before a group of San Francisco in dustry presidents at a lunch at the Clift Hotel co-hosted by Earle Le Masters, presi dent of the Pacific National Bank, and Herbert Cerwin of Herbert Cerwin & Staff, pub lic relations consultants. Quemoy-Matsu Policy Finds Way Onto Politial (Debates Nixon Kicks Off California Bid for Republican Votes With Nixon in California-(UFD- Vice President Richard M. Nixon, the Republican par ty's top campaigner, launch ed a crusade in California to day for support for the em battled GOP ticket in the No vember election. Nixon admitted upon his arrival in Los Angeles Tues day night that his party is running behind right now in its contest with Democrats for control of the nation's sec ond largest state. "We have the fight of our lives on our hands," he told a news conference. "We must wage an all-out fight. If we don't, we can't win but I believe we are going on the offensive with a kind of cam paign that can win in the na tion and in California." Nixon planned to concen trate on vote-heavy San Diego county today, one of three population centers he will hit before he leaves California for Oregon on Friday. In a speech in Los Angeles Tuesday night, the Vice 'Pres ident urged Californians Democrats and Republicans alike to get behind Sen. William F. Knowland for gov ernor and tiov. lioodwin J. Knight for U. S. senator "be cause they are the best men for the jobs."- They would, he said, carry on the progressive policies of President Eisenhower and such former California Repub lican governors' as Earl War ren, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Issues Nixon tackled three of the most controversial issues in the California election cam paign by declaring: He is against a proposal to repeal the property tax ex emption now granted paroch ial schools because "we shouldn't take any action to discourage private schools." He believes it would be a ''catastrophe" if the voters approve a ballot initiative sponsored by the American Federation of Labor which would reduce the state sales tax but increase middle and higher bracket state income taxes. He takes a neutral position on Proposition 18, the so-called "right-to-work" initiative which would outlaw the un ion shop. Knowland favors such a state law; Knight and most other GOP candidates for the statewide offices oppose it.

Investments made by .the 10th of the month earn dividends -as of the first Navy Plane Lands . With Engines Gone Christchurch, New Zealand -OJPIl- A U.S. Navy R4D en route to Christchurch to join an Antarctic squadron landed here safely today after an epic flight from Canton Island. The transport plane lost its port engine over the Pacific and flew 500 miles on one engine, losing height and speed all the way. It ran out of gasoline shortly before land ing. The remaining engine was found to be burned out when the pilot, Cmdr. Frank E. Kimberling, ' Buena Park, Calif,, set it down on the run way here. En route Kimberling or dered the six-man crew to jet tison everything removable as the plane dropped to 1,700 feet. Tool boxes, personal gear and seats torn from their mountings were thrown out.

The 1960 model low-priced Thunderbird will sell for less than S2.000 and should travel about 20 miles on a gallon of gasoline, according to the Free Press. It will have a" 102-inch wheelbase two inches longer than American Motors' small Rambler American. It will be several inches lower, with a roof line less than ir2 feet high. It will be a two-passenger model, looking much like the Thunderbird of 1955-57. The 1958 T-bird is a four-pas- j senger car. ' J Washington- (UPD - President Eisenhower's Quemoy - Matsu defense policy was propelled smack into the 1958 politicai arena today. Democratic and Republican partisans, some of whom had been carefully skirting the touchy issue, now have lined up in what appeared to be developing into a "great de bate." The President's "no ap peasement" stand toward Red Chinese aggression was up held warmly by Senate GOP Policy Chairman Styles Bridges (R.-N.H.) who often is critical of administration foreign policy. But two . top Democrats sharply criticized the admin istration's position, a position which Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said was open to change. In California the Presi dent's stand was attacked vig orously Tuesday night by Ad lai E. Stevenson, Democratic presidential nominee twice defeated by Eisenhower. Ste venson accused the adminis tration of blundering on For mosa policy and said that the United States should seek a cease fire and Chinese Na tionalist evacuation of Que moy and Matsu. The Democratic leader voiced his protest in a cam paign speech for Rep. Clair Engle, Democratic candidate. It was Stevenson's first speech of the 1958 congres sional campaign. In Providence, R.I., Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Theodore F. Green said the threat of a Far East war was so great the issue should be presented "directly to the Congress," now in recess. Green, a Democrat, said the 1955 Formosa resolution, adopted by Congress at the President's request, "does not provide backing for the pol icy which the President is following" in the present cri sis. Defended by Nixon Also in California, Vice President Richard M. Nixon Stevenson Urges Concentration on Defense of Formosa Los Angeles (UPD Adlai Stevenson tossed a brickbat at the Republican party today declaring-in effect-Let's give up the islands of Quemoy and Matsu and concentrate on the defense of Formosa. 'I think that we, the Unit ed States, should not be de fending these islands right on China's doorstep," said the former Democratic party pres idential candidate as he open ed a counter-offensive against the personal appearance in California of Republican Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Feelings Respected "If Marshal Chiang (Na tionalist leader Chiang Kai shek) wants to-that's his bus iness," Stevenson told a $100-a-plate rally of Democrats on Tuesday night in nearby Bev erly Hills. "I respect his (Chiang's) feelings about them, but I also know how I would feel if the enemy had its foot in my front door dur ing a civil war. I would try to pinch it off or kick it out." Railroads Rebut In Lumber Hearing San Francisco -(UPD- Three railroads produced rebuttal witnesses today to back their pleas for lower lumber freight rates between points in North ern California and Oregon and Southern California and Ari zona. The railroads, Southern Pa cific, Santa" Fe and Western Pacific, were expected to take several days for their rebuttal testimony. The hearings are scheduled to end this week. The railroads published the lower rates last spring, but the Interstate Commerce Commis sion suspended them until Dec. 20 after lumbermen, truckers and water shippers protested. If a decision is not reached before Dec. 20, the new rates automatically go into effect. The Andes mountains chain is more than 4,000 milcr long. Stevenson, titular chieftain of the nation's Democrats, threw his weight into an ef fort to unseat Republican nominees in the November election, by appearing across town while Nixon spoke in Hollywood in behalf of GOP candidates Sen. William F. Knowland, running for gov ernor, and Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, aspirant to succeed Knowland in Congress Plan Said Unrealistic Although their campaign paths did not cross on arriv als at International Airport, Nixon was told of Steven son's foreign policy remarks. Nixon said, "I think his plan is one he has given much thought. But it is unrealistic and unworkable." Stevenson plugged for Rep. Clair Engle, the Democrat who opposes Knight. Engle noted that Stevenson wore a brand new pair of shoes, re ferring to the 1952 campaign picture in which the one-time Illinois governor was shown with a hole in his shoe. Engle raised his right foot, displaying a worn shoe and quipped: "This time I've got the hole." Both enjoyed a hearty laugh because, as they assured some 2,000 supporters "we've got the Republicans on the run." Inner Tube Patch Fixes Cow's Tummy Prineville -(UPD A Prine ville cow which suffered a punctured stomach is now do ing nicely, thank you, with a large inner tube patch. The hole in the stomach of Earl Doney's cow had been no problem all summer but the approach of winter promp ted Doney to enlist the aid of a tire repair shop. A plug consisting of two rubber discs seven inches across, con nected by a short length of hose, was devised. It's work ing fine and there's a bonus virtue. In case of bloating, the plug will function like the safety gasket on a pres sure cooker. Do You Appreciate Real Savings? Chances are you do!

Crating & Packing Medford-139 South Fir Phone SP 2-6273 Ashland-240 4th St. - Phone MU 2-8552 BAtflS BEKINS AGENT FOR MEDFORD AND ASHLAND reiterated his own defense of the administration's Formosa policy. He said the Eisenhow er policy had kept "peace with honor." Like Senate GOP leader William E. Knowland, who is running for the California governorship, Bridges has long felt the administration too frequently was close to negotiating a withdrawal from the Formosa Straits. His latest statement came as Dulles was conceding the United States might urge the Nationalists to w i t h d r a w much of their manpower from the offshore islands if a de pendable cease fire agree ment could be reached with the Reds. "This may be the last chance for the free world to draw the line in Asia," Bridges said. Communist war lords are testing us to see whether we will resist the threat of armed expansion or capitulate to their demands."
