Gaussian Warheads Said Capable off Striking finy Target No Known Means Of Defense, Russ Minister Asserts Moscow -4UPP- Defense Min ister Rodion Malinovsky warned the "imperialists" to day that Russia has an arsen al of rockets that can carry hydrogen warheads accurate ly to any point on earth. Malinovsky told the 21st Communist Congress these rockets cannot be stopped by any known means of anti-aircraft defense. He said Russia's rockets "constitute a fighting force capable of accomplishing the most important tasks" in any future war. "Your arms are too short," he told the "imperialists" who he said are "continuing their preparations for a new war and the use of the most pow erful weapon of mass extermination-nuclear weapons-and are threatening with the might of their aviation and navy." Mo Attacks Planned Malinovsky added, how ever, that "we are not con templating attacking any body." Malinovsky said he was replying to "militant state ments by the war ministers of several Western countries which contain threats against the Soviet Union and social ist countries." He said the Atlantic Pact was an '"aggressive bloc not only intended for the struggle against socialist countries but also as a weapon for subju gating the capitalist countries of Europe to the United States." Earlier, former Deputy Pre mier Mikhail Pervukhin ap ologized to the Congress for his failure to support Russia's leaders against the "anti- party group." Sees the Light Pervukhin told a closed ses sion he "fully agrees" with the denunciation of the oppo sition group published in the report of December's Central Committee meeting. "To my bitter regret, I must state that at a time fraught with responsibility for the party, I was unable to discern the anti-party plans of that group," he said. Pervukhin was the first of those whose names had been linked with the anti-party group to offer the "public ac counting," demanded by two prominent provincial party leaders-Ivan Spiridonov of Leningrad and Nuritden Muk- hitdinov of Uzbekistan. It was not immediately cer tain whether others of the group would appear before the Congress. Nikolai Bulganin, one of two ex-premiers in the anti party group, confessed his sins at the December committee meeting. Zhukor Denounced Malinovsky denounced his predecessor, Marshal Georgi Zhukov, as a "newly-fledged Bonaparte" who schemed to "separate the army from the Communist party. Zhukov was. dismissed in the Fall of 1957. His present whereabouts- are unknown. The former defense minis ter is not usually considered a member of the "anti-party group" which has been attack ed by speaker after speaker at the Congress. Its members include two ex-premiers, Georgi Malenkov and Nikolai Bulganin; former foreign ministers V. M. Molo tov and Dmitri Shepilov, and Lazar Kaganovich, a former member of the Party Presid ium (Politburo). All were accused of trying to sabotage Soviet policies in one way cr another. There was no time limit set for the congress, which open ed last Tuesday. But rodica tions were that it would close shortly, with a final speech by Premier Nikita ivnru shchev and a resolution sum ming up the session's work. Thornton Sees Need For Police Powers . Salem-IUPD-Attorney Gener al Robert Y. Thornton said today that the state would have to use its police powers if it wants to prohibit prop erty owners from locating ad vertising signs within 660 feet oi tne ngnt oi way oi uie new interstate hiehway. He said such state action would have to be shown to be reasonable and have a tendency to protect the public safety, health, morals and gen eral welfare. Unless accomplished through use of the public power, sucn a prohibition would amount to takine Droperty without due process of law, Thornton said. Quotes From the News By United Press International Minneapolis, Minn. - Al Delaf ontaine, head of the Indian Trades Council, explaining why he called the Russian Em bassy in Washington to ask for a $5 million loan to start industry on Indian reservations: "I'm convinced the American government has no inten tion of helping Indians to get their heads above water. The only job an Indian can get now is shining somebody's lousy shoes." New York - Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. John son (Tex.), in calling for the formation of an advisory com mittee of business men to help the nation wage economic warfare in competition with the Soviet Union: "The Communists will achieve their goals if we abdicate the field lo them. There is no reason why we can't beat them at this game." Washington - The National Science Foundation, com menting on the reported discovery by Prof. R. Alexander Brink of the University of Wisconsin that genes do not nec essarily rely on mutation to create alterations in heredity: "If these findings prove generally applicable, an en tirely new mechanism will have to be taken into account in explaining the origin of genetic variability, which itself underlies all evolutionary change. This discovery may well turn out to be among the most significant basic discoveries in genetics." Hollywood - Actress Audrey Hepburn, commenting on the riding accident which injured her back while she was on film location in Durango, Mexico: "It wasn't the horse's fault. I was riding bareback and had nothing lo hang onto except his mane-not even a bridle."

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Odd tale in the news: ' In Los Angeles, plain-clothes cops picked up a fellow who was begging on the street and booked him on charges of vagrancy. . When they searched him at the station, they found in his pockets $8,300 in . cash and a bankbook showing $500 on deposit! , WHY was he begging? One wouldn't know. But it's a safe bet that it looked to him like easy money. There were all those well-dressed, well-fed-looking people on the street. Surely they could n't resist a . plea of hunger. Anyway, it would be worth a try. So he tried it. It must have worked the very first time. So, presumably, he kept on doing it. In time, it must have come to seem like an easy way to pick up a living. So runs one's guessing. jyroNEY! What a strange thing it is! Especially money that seems to come easy. AT THIS point, I'd like to relate a personal incident. Coming to work a few weeks ago, I parked at what has come to be a habitual place. As I got out of the car and started to -the office, my eye was caught by a shiny object on the pavement. It was round and flat and about three-quarters of an inch in diameter. It was a dead ringer for a half-dollar. I pounced on it. It looked like easy money. TT WASN'T. It turned out to be a metal bottle-cap that had been drop ped on the pavement sharp edge down and traffic had pounded it into the asphalt. I was acutely disappointed, of course and also a little red in the face. I looked around to see if anybody had seen me. When one gets fool ed, one doesn't like to get caught at it. Fortunately, no one was looking, and I went on my way. - THIS was just the beginning. "Hprp'fi thi rAal cfnrv" At least twice since then I've got out of the car at this same place, with my mind running on something else, and have caught myself DIV ING FOR THAT PHONY HALF-DOLLAR! . Easy money. It has its appeal to all of us. T ETS close this piece on a serious note. . We do a lot of complaining about taxes. Every . time we get our paycheck we look at the tax deduction on it and grind out teeth. If GOVERN MENT had'nt reached into our pockets and taken out the dollars represented by the de duction item we'd .have that money to SPEND ON OUR SELVES. WAIT a minute. Why are taxes so high? One reason is that we call upon government for so many SERVICES. At the time when we call for them, these serv ices provided by government seem to be something we're getting FOR FREE. So we go for them just like I dived for that phony half dollar. - NO ICE EITHER London 0PD Cream - less ice cream is still ice cream, Parliament decided Monday.

Medford Police Chief Charles. Champlin has set next Monday for patrolmen to begin issuing traffic cita tions to violators spotted by the city's new electronic "Pa trolmaster." Members of the force have been practicing with the set for several weeks, and re cently have issued warnings. City and state officers, plus radio technicians and Muni cipal Judge Alan Holmes, yes terday discussed ' technical and legal aspects of radar operation at a meeting in the city hall. Primary Effect The primary effect of us ing radar, the Medford offi cers were told, is psychologi cal. Motorists drive more cau tiously, knowning the elec tronic nemesis may be just around the corner. Seldom is the recorded speed itself questioned, the state officers pointed out. The crux of the matter is whether that speed is in vio lation of the basic rule. Sgt. Thomas Eaton told how existing conditions are a necessary part of proving a basic rule violation, ,. These conditions might include heavy traffic, hazardous weather or the presence of children on bicycles. Sgt. Eaton outlined a long list of other facts that might have to be proved when a radar case goes to court. Sufficient Training Among them are the suf ficient training and .experi ence of the patrolman operat ing the set, the proper cali bration of the set itself, the set's exact location, the cor rect time for when the vio lation occurred, a descript ion of the violator's vehicle California Girl Found on Mountain Longview, Wash.-(UPD-A 14-year-old Stockton, Calif., girl, Brenda Allison, was recover ing today in Cowlitz General hospital here from frostbite on her . feet and slight ex posure after being lost on snow-capped Mt. St. Helens Sunday night and early Mon day for about nine hours. Cowlitz county sheriff's of ficers said the girl became separated from three compan ions late Sunday while hik ing. Volunteer searchers found her about 1:30 a.m. Monday wandering on the 9,671-foot high peak, east of here. Deputies said the girl was visiting friends here. Her con dition at the hospital was de scribed as "good" by attendants.

One Medford officer re ported that teen-agers have created a run on local tin foil supplies, in the mistaken belief that tinfoil on hub caps and elsewhere - can jam a radar set. The fact, according to Rob ert Larson, radar technician for the city force, is that the tinfoil would make a car if anything a better target by increasing its' mass. One state officer comment ed that certain small foreign cars are "pretty hard to get sometimes" because of their size. : Because of the expense in volved, it is impractical to jam radar sets, Larson said. Moreover, he added, it is illegal. Nixon To Arrive In Oregon Feb. 13 Salem (UPD-Gov- Mark Hat field said Monday vice-president Richard Nixon probably would arrive in Oregon Fri day evening, Feb. 13 for his visit to the state's 100th birth day the next day.

Back Stairs: By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter . Washington-(UPD-Back stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower has been entertaining at a series of breakfasts for ranking Re publicans in Congress and as the battle intensifies in the House and Senate over the ad ministration's legislative pro gram,, there may be more of these early morning pow wows at the White House. In fact, the President has discussed adding music to his bacon and eggs meetings, with GOP senators and representa tives. . . It may be denied, as they say in the now-it-can-be-told columns, but a fellow swears on his copy of the social di rectory that the President talked to him the other night about having glee club-type entertainment at some of his breakfasts. On Trial Basis Not necessarily as a regu lar thing, the President was represented as saying, but on a trial basis. As the senators are forking their finnan had die, a small glee club could be swinging away on "There's a Great Day Coming." Among the recent entertain ers during the after-dark LEA MOTORS, MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Pearson Asked To Halt Demand (or Ticket Purchases Salem (UPD Republican State Chairman Peter M. Gun nar, Salem, said Monday he has written Senate President Walter Pearson "asking him to bring to an end the dis graceful situation of legisla tive committee clerks being forced to purchase tickets to a fund-raising banquet spon sored by the Democratic party." Gunnar said "I am inform ed that Democratic State Chairman Dave Epps has fac ed some clerks, both Demo crats and Republicans, with the fear of dismissal if they refuse to buy tickets to a $10 Democratic fund-raising ban quet." - The GOP chairman said most legislative jobs were now held by Democrats but that there were a few Repub licans in key spots. "These Republicans, along with many Democrats, exper ienced the wrath of Chairman Epps when they refused to knuckle under to his de mands," Gunnar said. Pearson replied that he had no knowledge of any pressure being brought to bear on clerks. "There will be no coer cion to donate to either party while I am president of the Senate," he said, adding that he didn't care if either party simply asked clerks to attend various fund -raising affairs. "But no one will lose their jobs whether they choose to contribue or not," he said. Music With Their Bacon? White House social season were the Justin Lawrie Sing ers, a group of 26 attractive young men and women whose Victor Herbert medley has long been an Eisenhower fa vorite. After hearing them again last week, the President spec ulated about having some of the i ingers entertain at one of his stag dinners. Then the President won dered about having girl sing ers in tne ensemDie lor a strictly stag gathering. He was told that since the sing ing group would merely ap pear during dinner and de part, it would not have any real bearing on the stag na ture of the party. Eisenhower wanted time to think over this angle. He seemed to have reservations about a mixed chorus, no mat ter how saintly, mixed up in a stag dinner. Welk Hit of Season Lawrence Welk, the "one-and-a-two-and-a-three" band leader of television fame, un doubtedly was the hit of the recent White House social sea son, as far as the Eisenhowers were concerned." Welk certainly seemed to sense the complete approval of the Eisenhowers because Over 100 photographs feature-by-feature comparisons of each make. Reports in detail on safety, economy, performance, room. All information is derived from auto motive engineering publications and from the official literature of car makers. t Bartlett at 5th, Medford Tuesday, February 3, 1959 : S State Patrolman's Assailants Escape Salem -DPD- State Patrol man Floyd West, 33, was shot through the hand when ' he attempted to give a driver a citation for defective tail lights near Wilsonville early today. West had stopped what he described as a dirty black 1949 automobile with both tail lights out, and was walking up to it when someone in the car fired a shot. The vehicle sped off. West, with a bullet wound in his left hand, drove to a Woodburn hospital for treat ment, then was brought by state police to Salem Memor ial hospital. Police set up road blocks in the area, but were unable to find the flee ing car. 186 Speakers Take Part in Festival Ashland- One-hundred and sixty-eight speakers represen ting 12 high schools and two junior high schools participat ed in the 10th annual high school speech conference on the Southern Oreon college campus Friday and Saturday. During the two-day session, 663 speeches were made con cerning ihe British system1 of education, problems of Latin America, conservation of natural resources, modern poetry and other current sub jects of interest. More than a 100 Southern Oregon college students timed the events, while 48 members of the faculty and many val ley residents acted as critics. he had no qualms at all about going on nationwide televi sion two nights later and tell ing all about his White House visit. Furthermore, he recre ated for the nation several of the musical scenes which he said were such hits with the President and his wife, the vice president and members of the cabinet. . Normally, this sort of play- and-tell is risky for an enter tainer, as far as his future relations with the White House are concerned. But most definitely this is not true in the case of Welk. He s such a favorite of the Eisenhowers that they probably regard his TV performance as perfectly proper.
