1 A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford', Or. IU Tuesday, May 5. 1959 New Television Series To Start in Medford A new television series produced by the AFL-CIO, "Americans at Work," show ing how millions of workers make their living, will start at 4:45 pjn. Wednesday on station KBES-TV. The series will show all types of employment. It is be ing shown as a, public service of the television station. . GOT IT RIGHT Dallas,. Tex.-fUPD-Mrs. Quin cy Adams repeated several times to her son, Wade, 6, that he was to be home by 11 a.m. As she helped him on with his coat, she asked: "Now, what time did I tell you to be home?" "Eleven o'clock," Wade replied. "Gosh, have you forgotten already?" United Has No Plans to Bring Jet Planes to City, Officials Say United Air Lines has no present plans for bringing jet passenger service to Medford, a company spokesman said yesterday. The short-range, twin-engine jet craft that could pro vide such service economical ly has yet to come off the drawing board he and another spokesman agreed. United may, however, pro vide Medford passengers at some future date with con ventional Douglas DC-6s or DC-6Bs, both stated. These four-engine piston-d riven craft, one explained, carry 14 more passengers than the twin-engine Convairs now in use here. The spokesmen, Ken Coot, local manager, and Ed Beaty, territorial representative for United, .discussed the impact of the commercial jet age yes terday noon before the Jack son County Chamber of Com merce roundtable. A third representative, Howard Fellows, United dist rict sales manager, also spoke at the meeting. Cook said United's Con vairs are at least as economi cal fuel-wise as the Fairchild F-17 prop-jets now used by West Coast Airlines, and or dered by Pacific Airlines, for flights out of Medford. But he admitted he had no compara tive figures on this. (A spokesman for West Coast replied later yesterday he thought the F-'27s might be more economical. But he too said there ' were no figures available.) The prop-jets, driven by a combination of jet thrust and propellers, use a form of kero sene as fuel. They burn this Nasser: Friend or Foe? By WILBUR G. LANDREY UPI Correspondent Cairo-ffiPD-President Gamal Abdel Nasser attacked Russia and the Communists because they challenged his leadership of the Arab world. Western money could never have bought the fury that Nas se rhas now turned against Ni kita Khrushchev and the Reds. The Eisenhower Doctrine was a flat failure as far as the Arab world was concerned. Many in the West have ex pressed surprise at Nasser's at tack oh the Soviets but a lead ing Western diplomat here commented: "The turn against the Communists could have been predicted. Nasser acted according to the book." The "book" called for oppo sition to any outside inter ference in the Arab world. Some Western diplomats here long predicted Nasser and the Russians ' would clash when the Communists penetrated too far in the Arab Middle East. Showdown Inevitable As the Communists gained in Iraq and challenged Nas ser's hold on Syria, a show down became inevitable. When Nasser rose to power, his first enemy was the "im perialist" West which then oc cupied bases in Egypt and else where in the Arab world. He refused to join the West diers and influence out of the area. Too Many Children; Pay Check Bounces Titchfield, England (DPD Mrs. Ann Rudd, mother of six children, wrote a check to pay the deposit on a vacation house trailer but the check bounced. ? Instead of .writing "two pounds six shillings" she had written "two pounds six children." His mission was to unify the Arabs into an independent force. By his victories over the West, he made himself the symbol and leader of a resur gent Arab nationalism. Like the neutralism of In dia and Yugoslavia, Nasser's "positive neutralism" opposed membership in either world bloc. But there were differ ences. India's Effort India spoke softly and tried to lessen tension by promot ing compromise on both sides. When Russia withdrew aid, Yugoslavia turned to the West for help. At the beginning, Nasser's enemy was the West alone, His friend was Russia, which supplied the arms and aid he was unable to get from Wash ington, London or Paris Daily, the Cairo radio and press lashed out at the West ern "imperialists" and report ed new Western "plots" against Arab nationalism. When Nuri Said linked Iraq with the West in the Baghdad Pact, Nasser organized the other Arabs gainst him. When the United States withdrew its offer of aid to help build the Aswan High Dam, Nasser hit back by na tionalizing the Suez Canal. When Israel, Britain and France attacked Egypt,' Nas ser .called on world public opinion for support and turn ed military defeat into diplo matic victory. When the Eisenhower Doc trine was announced, Nasser fought it as another attempt to draw the Arabs into the Western bloc. Never Joined Soviet He also fought King Hus sein of Jordan and King Saud of Saudi Arabia, who opposed Nasser-style nationalism and leaned toward the West, era anti-Communist pacts and fought to drive Western sol- But Nasser never joined the Soviet bloc. From 'the early days of the revolution he or dered sporadic crackdowns on Communists at home. He in sisted he was "neutral." And when the Communists began to gain power in Iraq after the July, revolution and challenged Egypt's "union with Syria, Nasser proved his con sistency. He condemned Com munist penetration as bitterly as he had Western "imperial ism." Massive Soviet aid did not deter him from, attacking Khrushchev when Russia tried tc interfere. The honeymoon was over. As Nasser often said: "Nev er did we mean to exchange one imperialism or one foreign domination for another." (Next: Domestic Problems) Polly Bergen Said To Be Recovering New York-OJPD-Actress Pol ly Bergen was reported rer covering satisfactorily today from an emergency operation to correct a pregnancy com plication. Miss Bergen, 29, was rushed to Mount Sinai hospital Mon day for examination and it was decided immediately to operate due to "severe com plications arising from a preg nancy," according to her doc tor. The star of the Broadway musical "First Impressions" lost twins nearly three years ago from apparently similar complications. She is the wife of Freddie Fields, a vice pres ident of The Music Corp. of America. Her understudy, Ellen Han ley, will take over Miss Ber gen's role in the musical comedy. fuel in greater quantities-but it is cheaper than the gasoline used by Convairs and other piston-driven craft. Beatty said he thought the F-27 and the Convair fly about the same speed 280 m.p.h. No Prop-Jets Planned United does not contem plate using prop-jets, accord ing to Cook. He explained that the company hopes to move directly to a fleet com posed entirely of "true" jets. eeauy saia united nas no planned changes" with re spect to equipment for Med ford and that the introduction of jet service here must wait development of a short-range craft that could be operated economically. But, he added, "I think there would be a definite pos sibility of . aircraft such as DC-6s and DC-6Bs being used into places like Medford." Cook agreed later that such planes may be in the cards, He said they could land and take off using Medford air port s main runway at its present length. Those Replaced These planes, it is under stood, would probably be those replaced by the medium and long-range jets on other flights Beaty, the principal speak er at the meeting, devoted most of his talk to the long- range Douglas DC-8, which United hopes to have in oper ation by late September. The planes, he said, will be used primarily on trans-conti nental flights. The Boeing B- 720, described as a medium- range jet, will fly such routes as Portland to Los Angeles, Portland to Denver and Port land to Chicago. United re portedly has 11 of the B-720s ordered. Designed for Service Beaty claimed the DC-8 is superior to the B-707 now being used for long-range service by rival airlines be cause it has been designed for passenger service "from the drawing board up. Cook explained that the B- 707 was originally designed as a fuel tanker for the U.S. Air Force. He said the DC-8 is bigger, slightly faster, and de signed "strictly for passenger comfort. It reportedly will carry up to 155 or 160 passen gers as well as 25,000 pounds of cargo and 23,000 gallons of fuel. It is designed to fly at 600 m.p.h., Beatty said. Electronic Computers He also mentioned electro nic flight computers and oth er "streamlining" devices de veloped to reduce the time the plane must spend on the ground while being loaded. Cabin doors both forward and aft, he said, should speed up the time for getting all the passengers on board, The speakers explained that the big jets today prove EVERYTHING you need QUALITY YOU APPRECIATE SAVINGS YOU WELCOME -MEK" BYSTUDEBAKER Here's the most economical station- wagon buHt in the U.S.A.

Beaty was asked if airlines have received adverse criti cism about black smoke giv en off by jet engines in take off. He replied they had, and explaned this smoke was caused by water-injection utilized to boost power. He said newer engines .will not have a smoke problem.
