Radio Moscow Cites American Editorials To Support Charges London-(UPD-RadiO Moscow cited editorials from Ameri can newspapers today to back dp its charges that the U.S. State Department accused So viet airmen of shooting down an unarmed American plane in order to head off a possible thaw in the cold war. An English-language broad cast repeated earlier Soviet claims that the State Depart ment's recording of Soviet pi lots' conversations during the attack was a fake. It criticized the department for failing to make the recording public. Soviet ambassador to Wash- Ashland Pilot Still Missing Madras A report of smoke in the Abbot Butte area west of here turned out to be a false lead Tuesday in the continuing search for a single engine Stinson plane with three Oregon brothers aboard that vanished Friday on a flight from Prineville to Salem. Ken Hepner, manager of the Madras airport, said eight fully- equipped volunteers from the Central Oregon Pi lots Association hiked into the rugged area Tuesday but found the smoke had come from a smoldering log. It was determined later that a fire had been built in the log by a surveyor who had stopped to eat his lunch. Snow, ice and low clouds have hindered the air search. Search officials said a few planes went up Monday but were forced down after a brief period by bad weather. Aboard the missing plane were the pilot, Jim Miller, 24, Ashland, and his 14-year-old twin brothers, Roy and Coy Miller, of Turner. i n g t o n Mikhail Menshikov was invited by the State De partment to hear the record ing, but refused. Quotes Washington Paper The broadcast quoted the Washington Post and Times Herald as saying the State Department sought to stir up public and congressional in dignation with its revelation. It said the New York Times thought the move was intend ed to aggravate Western-Soviet relations. The New York Post was quoted as saying the U.S. government apparently took its action to drown out what Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and Deputy Pre mier Anastas Mikoyan were saying about ending the cold war. "What has been cited is enough to show that the State Department's maneuver was taken with malice afore thought," Moscow Radio added. The broadcast also disputed State Department claims that it had the recording a long time before it was released. It quoted a United Press In ternational interview with Rep. Wayne Hays (D-Ohio), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in which Hays said committee mem bers did not know of the re cording. "There is nothing at all sur prising in this," it added. "The fabrication was concocted only recently. The State De partment never had such a re cording and does not have one. That is why neither the House nor the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee was informed." SHADY COVE-TRAIL Alaskans Are Visitors By EVALYN P.

WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York-fl!PD-What should one buy in the way of com mon stocks at this time-pres- tige perenni als, light blue chips, escapist equities, spec ulative cats and dogs, lim bo stocks, or the authentic s p e cial situa tions? B. K. Thur- Kfcner Wilier low, an a 1 y s t for J. R. WilliEton & Beane, has coined those designations, and he offers advice on all of them. The prestige nerennials-the blue chips-probably will con tinue to rise until the bubble is finally pricked, Thurlow admits, but he lists them as dangerous and unattractive speculations. He finds recent market ac tion of the light blue chips those semi-investment . stocks just outside the pale-more en couraging. Here's his formula for se lecting a good light chip: -ihe company's capitaliza tion should be big enough so that a single buyer can pick up a million dollars' worth without upsetting the market. -ine stock should have been regarded as cyclical dur ing some part of 1957-1958 and should have undertaken definite projects to cut costs and diversify. -Earnings must begin to show a substantial improve ment. Other Reason Minor . 1 -Other reasons that appear should be regarded as frost ing on the cake. And here's a good tip from Thurlow-a trade secret, he calls it: ' Pick something the institu tions might, like. Here's the best bet: The au thentic special situation which everyone seems to be looking for-a stock which appeals to few people when it is really cheap. "Recognizing that a situa tion is strikingly underval ued," Thurlow says, "they are content to let someone else hold it until it is ready to move. "The irrational nature of such a decision becomes ap parent only when the situa tion works out exactly as pre dicted and the over-clever in vestors, waiting for the right time to buy, has missed the entire move." Thurlow's escapist equities include both . defensive and speculative issues. Collective buying of these in 1957, he says, put them up to a point where they have ceased to be defensive against a market decline. Theory Rarely Substantiated So far as the speculative cats and dogs are concerned, Thurlow says the theory is they are supposed to rise and make a quick killing. In prac tice, he notes, they are usual ly bought hastily on inade quate, meaningless or false information on the naive be lief others will be willing to pay higher prices when the good news spreads. Here some one inevitably is left holding the bag. The limbo stocks of the Thurlow group are those be tween outright speculations and special situations. They are the hot tips of yesteryear or special situations which never quite turned out. "After' the excitement died down, they more than likely came to rest to be forgotten until one day they drift low enough in price to attract buy ing or until they are brought to life in some future bull market by the hot breath of rumor or the red blood of new management." , Thurlow doesn't think the Japanese Firm Blamed for Sinking Tokyo -(UPD- The Higher Ma rine Disaster Inquiry Board Monday upheld a lower board ruling that the Japanese Na tional Railway Corp. was re sponsible for the sinking of the ferry boat Toya Maru with the loss of 1,172 lives, includ ing 59 Americans. The 4,337 - ton ferryboat, plying between Honshu and Hokkaido Islands, sank in a typhoon, Sept. 26, 1954, in Japan's worst marine disaster. The decision placed the ma jor blame on the ship's cap tain, Heichi Kondo, who went down with the vessel, for putting out to sea in such bad weather. time is near when government bonds regain their acceptance as "the safest investment in the world." Hence, he concludes, com mon stocks still appear to be the best investment vehicle. The problem, of course, is to choose the right ones. .
