The Great Grain Gamble port M Ohina (The London Observer's chief completed an extensive tour of Communist China. This is the last of rive articles telling the inside story from Singapore to escape censorship.) , By DENNIS BLOODWORTH HTNS-London Observer Foreign Service Singapore-The young farmer in the tattered undervest and faded blue trousers led me down a narrow raised path between shimmering fields of transplanted rice. Far across the rolling green plain rose that mountain barrier of Szechuan which the Japanese never ventured to cross. This was the rich and tranquil country of South-west China. The farmer paused and . ponds over there? Stocked enough for ourselves and to field beyond is for potatoes. and, what's more, we make Almost Absurdly Clean "You don't waste much," I remarked, nodding to a large group of young children working quietly on a nearby patch. "Waste?" the farmer looked at me in amazement. "Here, come and see the pigs." Amid foot peasant girls were pitching swill to about 100 sleek sows and porkers. Just across the way were the byres, where half-a-dozen men were washing down the cows. It was all almost absurdly clean and orderly. We might have been in Switzerland. At first glance, in fact, this looked like a well run farm anywhere in the world. But as I walked around I began to notice differences. There was not just one large homestead, but scores of small ones, revealing that thousands of peasants lived and worked on these acres. Yet all boundary markings had been removed and the verges ploughed for crops. There were no tractors, no signs of mechanization, but in the fields I saw teams of workers 40 and 50 strong-long lines of men and women patiently working with their hands. The only implements to be double-shared ploughs. Some cf the farmsteads in the middle distance stood Iookins like a rjenitentiary on dormitory with a central kitchen and general canteen which could seat 500. Behind each of its many doors was a new home for families moved from the doomed cottages-two diminutive earth-floored rooms Land Confiscated, Redistributed For this was not just a farm, but an agricultural pro ducers' cooperative. When the Chinese Communists first took over, they confiscated all land from the landlords and redistributed it in small parcels to the' enthusiastic peasants. By degrees, however, the peasants were then forced into joining cooperatives in which all members pooled their land, for which they were paid rent, and their labor, for which they received piecework pay. The cooperative did aU its marketing and buying through the State. By this year, these cooperatives-to which 97 per cent of the peasant households belonged-had become "advanced": the peasant received nothing for his land any more. He was once more a paid laborer, directed by a cooperative com mittee which he helped elect, and only dignified by the holding of one share in the company, as it were. Today even this last stake is becoming meaningless, for the co operatives themselves are being grouped into large "people's communes" in which his single voice is drowned.

This was a communal John Foster Dulles. Department spokesman Lin coln White denied reports that there had been a personal mes-5 sage from Dulles to General- I issimo Chiang Kai-shek. He said tne state Department, in response to an inquiry from the U. S. Embassy at Taipeh "sent word to the embassy dealing with the situation but there has ' been no personal message from the secretary to the generalissimo." Dulles himself said, on leav ing Washington National Air port for a vacation, that he had received a message from U. S. Ambassador Everett Drumright in Taipeh "indicat ing some misconceptions out there." Dulles said the miscon ceptions "gave an exaggerated idea of a shift of position on our part." "I sent a reply to our am bassador straightening him out," Dulles told newsmen. . While White would not say so, the message apparently was designed to reassure the Nationalists that there had been no major shift in U. S. policy because of the recent disclosures that the U. S. is prepared to talk about reduc ing Nationalist forces on the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu if the Communists stop shooting.' " The President, at his news conference Wednesday adopt ed a somewhat softer tone than Dulles, but nevertheless backed up the secretary's po-' sition that some concessions to the - Communists might be made if there were a fool proof truce in the Formosa Strait battle. High-Altitude U.S. Jei Bombers Reach Formosa Flying Boxcars Due From Japan Taipeh, Formosa -(UPD-High altitude B-57 American jet bombers have arrived in For mosa to bolster U. S. striking power in the war-threatened Formosa Strait, it was disclos ed today. United Press International Correspondent Charles Smith reported the arrival of the bombers from an air base somewhere in Formosa. Air Arm Strengthened The B-57s, able to strike at almost any important military target in China, greatly strengthen the U. S. air arm in the Formosa area, now de pendent largely on the U. S. 7th Fleet and its 500 or more planes. The United States also was flying in 10 or more C-119 Flying Boxcar cargo planes from Japan to help break the Communist stranglehold on the Quemoy Islands. Fear Another Munich But the arrival of addition al American aid failed to dis pel Nationalist fears of "an other Munich" involving the evacution or de-militarization of the Quemoy and Matsu is lands. The authoritative China Daily News, organ of the rul ing Kuomintang (Nationalist party), reflected hardening opposition to reducing the size of the Nationalist garri son as suggested in Washing ton. , " Criticizes Dulles It obviously referred to Sec retary of State John Foster Dulles' remarks that a For mosa Strait cease-fire should include a reduction of the 85,000-man Nationalist garri son on the offshore islands. President Chiang Kai-shek was quoted Wednesday as say ing Dulles must know that asking the Communists for a cease-fire was only wishful thinking and that Dulles' lat est views appeared to contra dict his earlier stand.

"Now It's Copyright. - 53 rd Year Medford 28 Pages Holmes Requests Protest Against Dominica Action Embargo Threatened Over Congressmen Salem-UPD-Gov. Robert D. Holmes today asked Secretary of State John Foster , Dulles to make vigorous protest to the Dominican Republic for what the governor termed was "repeated attempts to in timidate the state of Oregon." The governor said that threats of interference in the internal affairs of the state were included in a letter from the Dominican Republic secre- tary of state for industry and commerce and a telegram from the Latin American na- tion's Chamber of Commerce president. Threats of Embargo Gov. Holmes said the two messages were thinly-veiled threats of economic embargo against Oregon unless Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D Ore.), and Reps. Edith Green and Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) were stopped from what the Dominican officials termed "an apparently incessant bar rage of biased propaganda." The communications had pointed out that the Domini can Republic bought $196,000 worth of Oregon products each year. Seen Inexcusable In his request to Dulles, Holmes said: "I believe this threatening attempt to inter fere with the internal affairs of this state is inexcusable, and that it certainly warrants a vigorous protest." In his reply to Arturo De sprardel, secretary of state for industries and commerce for the Latin American nation, Holmes said he was -glad that the Dominican Republic found some $190,000 worth of Ore gon products "which your peo ple can enjoy, and I assume that you purchased these Ore gon items because you get good value for the money you spent. Strong Resentment - "I hope that you are not presuming to threaten the sovereign state of Oregon be cause of the opinions of repre sentatives Charles Porter and Edith Green and. Senators Richard L. Neuberger and Wayne L. Morse: I -must say to you that I have strong re sentment to your apparent wish to interfere in Oregon's political affairs. I happen to subscribe fully to the views expressed ' by them even though your country may find it to its best interest to be aligned with our country mili tarily and diplomatically. I do not think that this means that any of our citizens or officials in the state of Oregon need to approve your form of govern ment nor of Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo. Along with our two senators and repre sentatives I abhor dictator ships of any kind." Cheyenne," Wyo.

Gandee and Dick Smith, Circuit Court Complaint Seeks $125,000 Damages A complaint, asking $125, 000 damages, has been filed in Jackson m county circuit court by Ruby ' B. McCall, Grants Pass, against the Steve O- Wilson Lumber company in the death of Everett F. Mc Call, 42, Aug. 5, 1958, on the log deck of the lumber com pany. McCall was a employee of Theo-Masters, Inc., which was hired by the company to de liver logs to the mill south of Medford. The complaint states that the method of unloading logs at the mill utilized by the defendant was to have drivers spot loaded truck and trailers at a designated place and re move any 'chains that bind the load. A crane with a clam is then used to pick the logs, one or more at a time, off the truck and place them on the nearby log deck. - According to the plaintiff, Everett McCall, driver, spotted his truck and then released the chains binding the three peak logs so they could be re moved. After these logs were removed, he removed the re maining binders at which time the right wing log roiled off to the side where he was standing crushing him, be cause there was notning on either side' to keep the logs from falling. - The complaint charges .that the defendant carelessly and negligently failed to use every device,' care and precaution which it was practicable to use for the protection and safety of Everett McCall. " Mrs. McCall is represented by Stanley C. Jones Jr., Med ford attorney. .

Cole Rivers, Grants Pass, game commission field agent, said he will know better in a day or two. A number of new methods were used in spreading 11,000 pounds of powder rotenone arid 700 gallons of liquid rote none. For the first time the game commission used skin divers to reach spots which could not be reached from surface operations. Two skin divers, Richard L. Smith and Tad V. Gandee, both of Ashland, took a 1V& inch hose to springs at the lake bottom, an estimated 25 foot depth. A liquid mixture of rotenone poison was pump ed from a gas-powered pump mounted in a boat and through the hose as the divers poked the nozzle into about 20 underwater springs at the east end of the lake. Supervises Diving Bob . Borvicka, Portland, game commission biologist, supervised the skin diving operation with Jack Hoffbuhr, Medford Irrigation district manager, operating the out board motor. The divers said they broke through a cloud of algae, or, underwater plant life, and on reaching the bot tom could see for 100 feet through light green crystal clear water. Another new idea in poi soning operations was the use of a large metal drum attach ed to an anchored boat.'- The liquid rotenone mixture was fed by gravity flow through copper '. tubes anchored . near the underwater springs. Skin divers who did the under water installations said these devices poured a mushroom of fish .poison over the springs and further prevented the fish from escaping the poison by moving under the springs. '. Another innovation was the use of large drums in- power boats. Liquid poison was suck out through a garden hose by the outboard motor propeller. One end of the hose was fixed to the drum and the t other just behind the propeller un der the boat.. This left long milky white streaks ' in , the water as the boats moved back and forth over assigned sec tions of lake watery ' - As standard procedure, large sacks of powdered rote none were dragged behind a number of boats and com pleted the coverage. The operation started at dawn with skin divers going down about 7 a.m. By 1 p.m. dead trash'fish appeared on the surface, a dead fish to every square yard . in most of the lake. The few Eastern Brook trout netted were measured from 18 inches to 21 inches. They thrashed around in the nets as they, were scooped off the lake surface. Game commission men said others probably, sounded to the depths to die as the poison caused hemorrhaging in their gills and completed its smoth ering work. The trout were noted by Rivers as among the largest caught in the state this season. - Game commission crews Price 10 Cents Tribune No. 165 another skin diver, took the 1V4 inch hose on the reel at left and forced fish poison into the springs at the bottom of the lake. Skin divers were used to make sure the poison covered the springs where fish had escaped to before. This was one part of Wednesday's operations. 'I had already poisoned the wa ters feeding from Four Mile lake through the Cascade ca nal into Fish lake. Twenty-three game com mission men and 10 sports men performed the operation, which cost an estimated $13, 500. This is above the previ ously budgeted $8,000. The additional expense was caused by a higher water level than originally planned, Requires 7 Days ihe .entire operation, in cluding the on-the-site plan ning, requires about -seven days. Rivers said he hopes the paisoning effect will wear off in three weeks so 100,000 3Vb inch trout can be planted then. These are expected to grow to 8 to 10 inches long by next fishing season. They are now being kept at the Butte Falls fish hatchery. The state game commission biologist said the lake is "very productive" for fish be cause of the fresh water un derwater springs, the shallow silt shoals and the abundant plant life for the fish to feed on. Harold Thomas, Ashland district ranger, said Fish lake had been famous for its fish' ing in 1910. The lake was pre viously poisoned on Oct. 5, 1951, Rivers said. - Lloyd Morris, owner-operator of the Fish lake resort, fishermen " next fishing sea son when he hopes to start recouping an estimated $40, 000 loss during the last two years. Until Wednesday's poi soning the trout population of the lake was being crowded out by the trash fish.' GOP Headquarters Moves Location Republican party campaign headquarters have-been moved to 8 North Riverside ave., in the Sparta building, it was announced today. - Don Stathos, chairman -of the GOP county central com mittee, said the move ' was completed yesterday. Former ly, the headquarters office was on the second floor of the Lev erette building. - The telephone number, SPring 3-7313, remains the same. - Infant Dies in After Long Auto Journey Lakeview -(UPD- Lake Coun ty District Attorney Julian Herndon said here today that his office and police had com pleted an investigation of the death of two-month-old John Ray Williams arid could find "no case of intentional crim inal negligence." He marked the case closed and a funeral was set for later today. Born Prematurely The Williams infant, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Williams of Slick Rock, Colo., died in a Lakeview hospital Wednes day, after a long auto drive from Colorado. Born prema turely at Cortez, Colo., the child apparently was not strong enough for the trip. The Williams couple, their daughter, one-year-old Patric Union, Company Fail To Agree On Contract Terms Chrysler Office Workers Protest Detroit -(UPD- United Auto Workers went on strike against General Motors today at plants in 71 cities through out the nation, when the com pany and the UAW failed to reach agreement on a new contract at the 10 a.m. strike deadline. At the same time, in De troit, Chrysler union office workers went on strike in protest against being left out of the contract settlement reached Wednesday between the UAW and Chrysler Corp. A total nf snmn 5 QQfl ntfir.t workers at five Chrysler plants in Detroit and at Marysville, Mich., walked out and picket lines were thrown up at some of them. The agreement reached at Chrys ler covered all union workers except engineering and office . .. w w.asui, UXAJWC personnel. A contract for them was left for later settle ment. Strike Said Costly GM Vice-president Louis G. Seaton estimated the strike would cost the workers $5 million a day in wages, and that the company also would lose about $5 million dollars a day. Seaton said the company was standing by its offer to give the UAW the same terms as were in the Ford settle ment "which the union prais-' ed when it reached a settle ment with Ford." The union insisted there were Issues peculiar, to GM . i:.ju 4. i 1 1 i i - i wiiiui 111 us i oe seiueu, uiciua ing short work-week sched ules, and differences in wage 1 r .i i atdics me saiiie wui&.

Ivranrf lunr tn VIUIIU JUIJ IU I M Lonsiaer marges Mrs. Ann Todd's complaints- alleging improper practices in operations of the Eagle Point' Irrigation district will be pre sented to a grand jury Oct. 14, District Attorney Thomas J. Reeder said today. Mrs. Todd confronted the irrigation district's board of! directors with her complaints at a meeting a month ago. She charged the district with inconsistency in levying penalties for late assessment payments and with entering into a contract with the Cali fornia Oregon Power com pany that is not "fair' and equitable to the d i s t r i c t's water-users. She also complained that Ted Flury, secretary-manager of the district, has a personal" interest in the Copco contract through being on the utility company's payroll, in viola-. tion of an Oregon statute. Interested observers have replied the contract has prov ed beneficial to the district's financial situation. ' Mrs. Thelma Short, the dis-' trict's bookkeeper, has ad mitted the inconsistency in levying penalties. . She said she did it on her own au thority. ' Flury has admitted being on Copco's payrolL ' Mrs. Todd has since com plained of being denied ac cess to the public records of the district. Other complaints lodged at the Sept. 2 meeting and sub sequently generally concern acts or practices in the dis trict's operation allegedly not in the best interests of the water-users. . Lakeview ia Anne, and James Shelton were traveling together to Lakeview in two cars. Wil liams explained that during the trip various members of the party switched cars. Mrs. Williams had been riding in the Shelton car with the baby for a time but during a rest stop while the infant was asleep she moved back to her husband's car. She left the baby in Shelton's car-which had a better heater. Shortly afterward, the two cars became separated when Shelton stopped for gasoline. He then continued the trip to Lakeview with "the ailing In fant and it was reunited with its parents here. It was taken to the hospital where JJ died a few hours later. .
