President Signs
Bill Authorizing
Foreign Spending
Congress Still To
Appropriate Cash
Washington DPD President
. Eisenhower signed today
bill authorizing $3,556,200,000
in foreign aid spending in the
current fiscal year.
The measure was $353,200,-
000 below the .President's
original reauest.
Congress still must appro
priate the actual cash.
The President also asked
Congress to appropriate im
mediately $500 million for
operations of the overseas de
velopment loan fund during
the 1961 fiscal year starting
next July 1. He previously
had asked for $700 million
for the present fiscal year.
Spread Over Two Years
The authorization bill pro
vided for a $1,800,000,000
loan fund spread over both
fiscal years.
Pre'ss Secretary James C
Hagerty said if all the money
is made available this year the
fund could "improve planning
in the long-term use of its re-.
sources and promote its ef
forts to encourage more com
prehensive measures of self
help" by nations abroad.
The President, in signing
the authorization bill, issued
a statement commenting on
three "freedom of informa
tion" amendments written
into the measure by the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Commit
tee. The amendments provided
that except in cases involving
national security, information,
documents and material re
lated to foreign aid should be
made available on request to
Congress and the General Ac
counting Office.
Established Policy
Eisenhower said the amend
ments do not "alter the recog
nized constitutional duty and
power of , the executive" to
withhold certain kinds of in
formation and, were never so
intended.
"I am constrained to em
phasize once again," he added,
"that it is established policy
of the executive branch to
provide the Congress and the
public with the fullest pos
sible information consistent
with the public interest.
"This policy will continue
to guide the executive branch
in carrying out the mutual
security program so that there
may be a full understanding
of the program and its vital
importance to the national
security.

Idea of Stadium in
City Being
A group of individuals in
terested in construction of a
multi-purpose stadium in Med
ford met for the third time
last night and decided to
press their idea to comple
tion
It was pointed out that
such a project would have a
multitude of uses, including
outdoor 4-H exhibitions, ro
deos, traveling commercial
shows, youth programs, pro
fessional and amateur base
ball and "just about anything
where a crowd could be
drawn."
Considerable discussion cen
tered around concrete, steel
and wood construction. It was
decided to seek a wooden con
struction seating approxi
mately 3,000 persons because
of the economy of construc
tion. It would be constructed
at the site of the present fair
grounds ballpark.

men at the Medford airport
control tower said there was
"heavy" air traffic that eve
ning, with the new, fast-jet
fighters on training missions
from Kingsley Air .Force base

Lewiston, Yakima, Tri-Cities

could obtain a franchise in
the league, provided an eighth
team could be' obtained to
round out the circuit and that
the stadium is built
Discusses Problems
Frank Graham, president of
the Eugene baseball club, told
of some of the problems en
countered with the stadium
there and how they were sur
mounted. "If towns like Wenatchee
and Lewiston can maintain a
stadium and support profes
sional baseball, Medford
should be a whiz," Graham
told the group.
Harry Chipman, president
of the Rogue Valley semi-pro
baseball league, said he had
a letter from a baseball man
in Texas who is interested in
bringing a professional club to
Medford in the Northwest
league in 1960 if the stadium
is built by that time.
County Commissioner Ralph
James said that it would be
impossible for the county to
build the stadium in time for
use in 1960 because of pre
vious ' budget commitments.
To Outline Plans
It was decided that a com
mittee would call on the coun
ty court to outline the plans
and to determine the amount
of participation which could
be expected from the county.
It also was suggested that
joint participation in the pro
ject between the county and
city be studied.
William Seibert, architect,
volunteered to prepare sketch

on construction costs for sub
mission to the court '"-when
the committee calls on that
group.

construction to enable use by

Danger Noted in
Forest Thursday
Conditions Not
As Extreme Today
A record high for fire
danger in the Rogue River na
tional forest was reported
Thursday, Howard Hopkins,
U. S. forest service official,
said today. .
Due to the drop in the wind
velocity today fire conditions
will not be as extreme today.
District average was a Class
8 day, Hopkins said, the first
time such a high average has
been reached. Forest service
ratings of fire danger are on
a 10-point scale with a Class
10 day in the explosive fire
danger category.
Squaw Peak Conditions
At the Squaw Peak lookout,
north of Squaw lake, a Class
10 day was reported. Hopkins
explained that the increased

counted for the extreme high
fire danger recordings.

this week. They had reported
one in 1955. Applegate ranger
station, according to records
since 1941, and the Ashland
ranger station, since 1947, had
neither previously recorded
Class 8 days.
Hopkins added that a trace
of rain Thursday in the north
end of the forest dropped fire
danger at Union Creek ranger
station to a Class 4 day and
Butte Falls to Class 5.
Extreme Conditions
The extreme conditions yes
terday were evidenced in a
150-acre forest fire near Shady
Cove which was started from
the garbage dump there. The
state department of forestry
had men at the fire when it
was only IY2 acres in size,
it was reported, and due to
explosive conditions in the
forest it spotted 3A mile ahead
of the main blaze.
The Shady Cove fire was
one of six reported to state
forestry officials yesterday.
An eight-acre blaze was re
ported in Sams Valley, an
other acre fire, started by
campers, was reported at Sis
kiyou summit, while in Jose
phine county a 60-acre fire

Diplomatic
Niceties Dropped
In Sharp Exchange
Informal Debate
Marked by Threats
Moscow-(UPD-Vice President
Richard M. Nixon and Prem
ier Nikita Khrushchev clash
ed headon today in a heated
informal debate climaxed by
Khrushchev's charge that
Nixon was trying to threaten
him.
"We will answer your
threats with threats," Khrush
chev stormed in an exchange
watched by a crowd of
startled spectators as the two
men toured the American Ex
hibition here.
They pulled no punches in
a sharp-toned exchange that
did away completely with dip
lomatic niceties. Their topics
ranged from U. S. military
bases to "captive nations" and
the relative superiority of
U. S. and Russian nuclear ar
senals. Nuclear Weapons Argument
In one of the more bitter
exchanges, Khrushchev warn
ed that "we have means at
our disposal which can have
very bad consequences"-an
apparent reference to Rus
sia's nuclear weapons.
fWe have, too," Nixon re
torted.
' "But ours are better,"
Khrushchev shot back bellig
erently. The off-the-cuff exchange
weakened hopes that the two
men might come to an under
standing which would solve
the deadlock at Geneva.
"It would be a treat mis
take and a great blow to peace
if that (Geneva) conference -u
would be allowed to fail,"
Nixon said.
Challenge To Face
Later, under more formal
circumstances, Nixon chal
lenged Khrushchev to his face
to join the United States in a
search for peace "not by ul
timatum but by negotiation."
"""""No nation in"theworTcT
today is strong enough to is
sue an ultimatum to another
without running the risk of
self-destruction . . ." Nixon
said in a speech formally
opening the U. S. Exhibition.
"The nation which starts a
war today will destroy itself."
The vice president told an au
dience including Khrushchev
that the "great and basic dif
ferences" dividing the United
States and the Soviet Union
must be "discussed and set
tled at the conference table
and not on the battlefield."
Nixon snoke at the exhi
bition site in Sokolny Park a
few hours after his informal
debate with Khrushchev.
Emphasizes Desire
Khrushchev said Russia
feels that way, too - but a few
moments later he was em
phasizing Russia's desire for a
peace treaty with Germany,
an issue outstanding among
those on which East and West
have been unable to agree.
Nixon spoke in English and
Khrushchev in Russian. Their
remarks were passed back
and forth through interpre
ters.
As the official party left
the model house at the exhi
bition, scene of the informal
exchanee. ' Nixon stopped to
shake the hands of two Rus
sian workmen.
Exchange Accusations
Pointing to the two Rus
sians, Khrushchev said:
"Those are our men. Do we
have to fear anybody with
these men?"
Nixon Dointed to some
Americans who had been
working on the exhibition
site and tossed Khrushchev s
words back at him.
"Do we have to fear anyone
with these men?" iMixon asK-
ed, pointing at the Ameri
cans.
The debate was marked by
accusations about the origins
of the cold war and responsi
bility .for the tense interna
tional situation.
