Newspaper Page Text10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday. April 16, 1959 Red Chinese Congress Will Name New President as Rebellion Reports Grow By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign New Editor The Red Chinese National People's Congress meets this fk fFridav) in Peiping for one of its most important ses sions since the i n a uguration of the Red Chi- ? nese regime in , 1949. One of J its most im y p o r tant tasks j, v s c pvnpctPn TO sisJ be the naming to Mao Tse-tung as titular head of the People's republic. The action in nowise is ex pected to reduce the stature of Mao as the real leader of the Chinese Communist Party or as the real leader of Red China. But the changa comes at a moment of particular stress within and without Red China. In recent weeks, for all of Asia to see, the Red Chinese regime has revealed itself as an imperialistic power .with designs not only on its own people but on its neighbors as well. Gone by the boards are the carefully nurtured "five principles for peaceful coexistence" which, among other things, called for mu tual respect for territorial in tegrity and sovereignty. A Paper Congress The people's Congress is at best a paper Congress which will blindly approve any deci sion reached by the Red ChiT nese nierarcny. But it scarcely can over look the fact that rebellion continues inside theoretically autonomous Tibet, nor that there is unrest also inside Red Chinese territory. Anti-Communist sources at the border of Tibet and India have claimed that the Tibetan fighting now has spread to China's border provinces of Tsinghai, Sikang and Szech-wan-an area where blunder busses and bows and arrows still are favorite weapons. Other apparently authentic reports have told of .wide spread unrest among hundreds of millions of Chinese peas ants who have been swept into the Communist commune system, destroying all of Chi nese family life in a convul- Chinese agricultural and in dustrial output. Holding life cheap, the Reds eliminate quickly those who oppose them. Eyewitness reports from the Portuguese island of Macao last year told of Communist executions in a mainland com mune where peasants rebelled Dead in Thousands In Tibet, the dead are re ported to run into the tens of thousands. As early as 1952, an Ameri can Federation of Labor re port estimated the Mao regime LEGAL NOTICES SYNOPSIS OF ANNUAL STATEMENT For the year ended December 31, 1958 Of the SPRINGFIELD FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY of SPRINGFIELD, in the State of MASSACHUSETTS, made to the In surance Commissioner of the State of Oregon, pursuant to law: ADMITTED ASSETS Bonds s 43,634,926.86 Stocks. 83,047.663.77 Mortgage loans on real estate 39,000.00 Real estate, less en cumbrances 4,459,719.68 Cash and bank de- posits 3.280,709.62 Agents balances or uncollected ire- miums .

Macmillan's Role i In Western Policy To Be Increased London (LTD T h e United States will retain leadership of the Western alliance de spite John Foster Dulles' de parture from the active politi cal scene, responsible Western diplomats predicted today. But they said British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan is certain to play an even more important role than in the past in determining Western policy. When Dulles' illness was disclosed two months ago many British newspapers as sumed Macmillan would don his mantle as the West's chief spokesman. Macmillan's fly ing peace missions to Moscow, Paris, Bonn and Washington added fuel to this speculation. Wishful Thinking Informed diplomats be lieved there was considerable wishful thinking on the part of the British press behind this speculation. The diplbmats said because of its military power alone the United States can hardly help remaining the dominant force inside the Western alliance. But Macmillan, encouraged by the plaudits he won at home for his globe-trotting ef forts, was expected increasing ly to throw the weight of his advice and experience into the Western councils. The announcement of Dul les' resignation was a heavy blow to free Europe, expected though it was. It made black banner head lines in newspapers from one er.d of Western Europe to the other.

Both information centers will be operated independent ly. It is the opinion of both the centennial committee and the Oregon Caves company that the joint effort on a one stop basis will afford a better service to the traveling public and will increase their inter est in seeing more of Oregon. The plan, which was pro posed 'by the special booth subcommittee was adopted by the Centennial group subject to the approval of the Ore gon Caves board of directors. Official notice of agreement from Richard Sabin, Oregon Caves general manager, was received by the committee this week.

He is vice chairman of the Communist Party Central Committee, a job second in power only to that of Mao's. He is 54-year-old, silvery haired and with Communist associations going back to 1920. Liu has studied in Moscow and frequently is regarded as "pro-Moscow," a designation not particularly designed to win him popularity in Peiping. But he also has been known to criticize Russians for not understanding China. Whoever gets the job, he will inherit headaches. And from all present indications, he still will be second man to Mao. Mrs. Luce May Weather Attack By Senator Morse Washington -(UPD- Assistant Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield predicted to day the Senate will approve the nomintion of Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce as U.S. Ambas sador to Brazil. The Montana Democrat made it clear he did not be lieve the challenge to Mrs. Luce's appointment raised Wednesday by Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) would produce many votes against the former Republican congresswoman. Morse served notice he would not vote to confirm Mrs. Luce because she had once said the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt "lied" America into World War II. Activities Questioned He also bluntly, questioned some of her activities as am- bassador to Italy. Mrs. Luce replied before the Foreign Re- j lations Committee that she was only carrying out U.S. 1 policy. i The committee will vote next week on the nomination. I Most members believed that : only Morse and perhaps Sen. ' William Langer (R-N.D.) might vote against her. j At Wednesday's hearing:, ; Mrs. Luce conceded that some 1 of her comments in U.S. poli- j tical campaigns dating back to ; 1940 may have been "intern- j perate." But she would not re tract them. Morse later told the Senate he would not vote to confirm a n y o n e-man or woman ywho admits as she did that j she said Franklin Roosevelt j was the only president of the United States that lied us into war."

STAMP LEGISLATION PENDING At the present time there is before the state legislature a bill to re strict and license the giving of trading stamps. Any business giv ing a trading stamp with pre miums as redemptions would have to pay 6000 dollars per year li cense. Proponents of this bill claim that premium stamp companies take thousands of dollars out of the state at the expense of the merchants and the public. Silver Dollar Stamps were designed to be a cooperative plan between cus tomer and merchant. All Silver Dollar Merchants share in the oper ation of the plan not only giving the stamps as a cash discount to his customer, but also redeeming them. By eliminating the costs of special redemption stores, person nel, warehouses,' and administer ing a far flung premium company, the Silver Dollar Merchants share in the reduced cost of using a sim ple plan, and at the same time can give the customer far greater value in return for their filled stamp books. Silver Dollar Stamp books were also designed to give the customer a quicker return by using a small book needing only 480 stamps to be filled, about one third the sire of some of the pre mium stamp books. The coopera tion of many types and sizes of businesses advertising together as Silver Dollar Merchants can be considered as another feature as it enables them to share in bring ing TV entertainment, radio, spon sorship, and other media, far too costly for the average size business to support alone. Under the pro posed legislation now being stud ied. Silver Dollar Stamps comply without restriction, as they can and always have been redeemable in cash at any time and have a cash value printed on the face of each stamp. Also no license would be required by any Silver Dollar Merchant.adv. NEARLY f (f f ) ( Fu) vUlvUI U I U x k -N s$ &j u w urea if !8r TrwfMT IT A ITT) Yes -it's a Fact . .
