(The London Observer's chief
completed an extensive tour of Communist China. This is the last of

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 .

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

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.

there had been a personal mes-5

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

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

United Press International

The B-57s, able to strike at

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

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

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."

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.

100 Per Cent Kill
Of Trash Fish Hope
Of State Officials
A 100 per cent kill of trash
fish is hoped for following
Wednesday's poisoning of Fish
lake, according to state game
commission men.
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. -

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. -

Mrs. Ann Todd's complaints-
alleging improper practices in
operations of the Eagle Point'
Irrigation district will be pre

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-'
