MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Sunday, August 2, 1959 U. S. Newspapers At Moscow Show Must Be Changed Moscow-fllPfl-HaroId McClel lan, manager of the U. S. ex hibition, has placed a rush order for sample copies of about 25 U. S. newspapers apparently because those al ready on hand are considered "unsuitable" by Soviet offi cials. An exhibition official said newspapers sent from Ameri ca probably will be carefully screened to make sure they contain nothing that might be offensive to Russian leaders. The official said the order for the newspapers specified none by name, but Wcfs for "representative" publications from leading American cities. He added that McClellan refused to give the names, of the newspapers contained in the original batch sent here. Not Sold U. S. newspapers are not sold in Moscow, although "le gitimate students" can obtain incomplete files of some pa pers in public libraries. The Russians already have vetoed an American plan to display newspapers in the open air, where Russians vis iting the exhibition could leaf through them. They insist that the news papers must be displayed un der plexiglass so that visitors will not be able to handle them. Virtual Censorship ' The newspaper veto was the latest instance of virtual So viet censorship of the exhibi tion. American news magazines which were to have been placed on the exhibition's newsstand never have put in an appearance, and a number of books removed from the book exhibit by Soviet de mand are still missing. The Soviet press has been hurling daily criticism at the exhibition, but it is drawing crowds of more than 90,000 'Russians a day despite the newspaper attacks. Kennecott Talks With Steel Union Salt Lake City -UPD- Ken necott Copper Corp. officials met at the bargaining table again yesterday with repre sentatives of the United Steel workers of America to discuss a new contract. The negotiations are con tinuing on a day to day basis after the existing contract be tween the copper firm and the union expired Friday at mid night. Angelo Verdu, union nego tiator, said the union would continue to stay on the job for "only a reasonable length of time." Steelworkers at Kennecott' s holdings in Utah and Ray, Ariz., are involved in the talks. Young Grand Canyon Survivor Greets Father, Tells of Ordeal Grand Canyon, Ariz. - (DPD-ing around barefoot on rocks Fifteen - year - old Joim Man- son Owens m, survivor of seven days in the barren mile - deep ravines of the Grand Canyon, yesterday had a joyous man-to-man reunion with his father that almost broke down to the tearful stage. The father, John Manson Owens Jr., tip-toed into the boy's hospital room here just as the youth was polishing off a lime sherbert. Young Owens sat, straight up in bed and reached out with both arms for his dad. They shook bands first, man-to-man but then ended up with arms wrapped around each other, nuzzling cheeks. "Boy, oh boy, am I glad to see you," they both said al most in unison. Doctors described young Owens' condition as satisfac tory. He was being fed a soft diet every two hours and was expected to remain in the hospital for about four days. Bore Few Signs The youth bore few signs of his struggle with nature which took the lives of his two hiking companions. His feet were bruised from walk- and sand and there were a few scratches on his left arm, but otherwise he appeared none the worse for his ex perience. Wearing a deep tan, the youngster told how he ate the pulp of cactus and mes quite beans to stay alive dur ing his four-day ordeal. He said he spent the nights sleeping in the sand and floated down the Colorado river in a raft he had made during the day. In his frantic efforts to at tract rescue teams in planes and helicopters combing the area for signs of lifet Owens said he took off his pants and waved them in the air. An Army helicopter pilot finally saw him when he fashioned a huge "H" with rocks. Daring Descent Ranger Don Davis made a daring elevator-like helicop ter descent with three Army crew members to pick up the boy about 23 miles from where he had started his hike. Owens had been given up for dead by most people when the helicopter crew de cided to make one last run over the canyon and saw the rock-formed letter "H" be- Queen Oozabeth DD Ms Canada Your Arthur Godfrey Arrives in Hawaii Honolulu -(UPD- Arthur God frey, flashing his famous grin, limped down the stent of an airliner from San Francisco last night and announced in no uncertain terms that he is on the TV comeback trail. The famous red-head will be here about a week, shoot ing scenes for his first hour long television show since his operation for cancer. The show is scheduled for Sept 16 on CBS. Most of the shootine will be done in and around the Royal Hawaiian hotel a1 Waikiki beach, where God frey will stay. "We'll stay at Waikiki for this year s shows because I don't have a TV tape truck yet," Godfrey said. "But next year I'll bring a truck out and then we can show the people on the mainland some of th beautiful places on Molokai and Kauai and the other is lands." Army to Roll Out the Barrels Washington-(EPI)-A tight lit tle island in Alaska is having so much trouble with some Army surplus beer that the Army has sent an airborne platoon to polish off the brew, - They're supposed to destroy it, not drinl: it, however. The matter came up in the hall of Congress where Sen. E. L. Bartlett (D-Alaska) re vealed Friday that the Army is sending troops to dispose of what is left of 7,000 cases of beer abandoned by Ameri can military forces on St Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea. .- . Territory of Wyoming was organized in 1868 and it was admitted to the Union as a state in 1890. Halifax, N.S. (DM Queen Elizabeth II yesterday wound up a marathon 45-day, 15,000 mile Canadian tour that may mark the end of an era in royal traveling.. The tour, made by train, jet plane, automobile, ship and even horseback, proved to.be so grueling for the Queen that officials predicted there might never again be one like it. Instead of another prolong ed formal tour with a morning to midnight daily schedule, the queen was considered more likely to make her next major excursion an informal vacation-style trip. Approved Appointment In her last major official act on Canadian soil, the queen approved the appoint ment of a successor to Vincent Massey as Governor-General of Canada. The new Governor General will be Maj. Gen. George P. Vanier, 72-year-old soldier-diplomat who lost one leg in World War I. - The Governor-General is the queen's chief representative in Canada, performing ceremoni al duties in her stead. Before departing by air plane at 10:30 p.m. for Lon don, the queen and her hus band, Prince Philip, rode in the royal "barge," a Navy launch, past 28 Canadian and British warships lined up for a mile in Halifax harbor, the starting point for thousands of World War II convoy vessels Started June 18 The royal tour started in St John's, Nfld., June 18. The couple arrived there by air plane from London. They had planned to return to England aboard the royal yacht Britan nia, but shortly after the queen was ill for two days during her tour, they decided to fly back to London. The queen came officially to Canada to join President Ei senhower in formally opening the St. Lawrence Seaway in Montreal June 26. But during her seven-week visit, she trav eled from one Canadian coast the other, and paused for a one-day visit to Chicago. Borate Plane Strikes Tree Eugene - (UPD - One of two twin engine tanker planes dropping borate slurry on the Rebel creek fire east of here narrowly escaped a crash yes terday after the right wing struck a tree which heavily damaged the right engine. Pilot Dick Swift of Salem brought the plane to a safe landing at Eugene's Mahlon- Sweet airport. Swift managed to limp back some 50 miles to a safe landing despite wheel trouble.. The right wheel would not go down. Red Myler, Portland, a for est service pilot who was fly ing an observation plane close to Swift's, said he saw the Impact of the plane against the trees and added that bits of the wing blew through the air. Swift was not injured. The fire in the Cascades in the Rebel creek area covered about 300 acres with some 350 firefighters battling the blaze. low them. He was resting in a hospital less than an hour later. The youngster's hiking companions, the Rev.-Eugene Gavigan, 30, a Roman Cath olic priest, and Walter J. Mahany Jr., 16, both of Sa vannah, Ga., died as a result of the ordeal. Owens said the three had set out to find a silver mine which the priest said he had heard about. The priest was fatally injured when he stumbled down a deep ravine and Mahany became exhaust ed later in the day as he and Owens tried to make their way out. DEte Asked to Air labor Ml ..Appeal Washington (UPD All 10 House Labor committee Re publicans have urged Presi dent Eisenhower to make a nationally televised appeal for House passage of a stronger labor reform bill than the moderate measure awaiting floor action, it was disclosed yesterday. They told him that this could tip the balance in the, close vote anticipated wheri the House chooses between the moderate bill backed by the Democratic leadership and the more drastic substitute propos ed by conservatives and en dorsed by the administration. The all-out drive collided head-on yesterday with a de mand from AFL-CIO Presi dent George P. Meany that the House soften terms o the moderate bill - or scutUe all labor reform legislation. 'Unacceptable' In letters delivered to House members, Meany said the mod erate bill, drafted by the House Labor committee, was 'unacceptable." He also de nounced as "vicious" the harsher substitute endorsed by the President. Thus the committee-drafted bill was caught in a cross-fire between liberals and conserva tives. Lawmakers agreed there was no chance the House would soften the measure to meet AFL-CIO objections. The big question was wheth er Democratic leaders would be able to steer the committee bill to passage in the face of demands from a coalition of Republicans and southern Democrats for the tougher sub stitute. 'Spread Rumors', In his letter Meany said "some persons have spread rumors" among House mem bers that the AFL-CIO favors the bill approved by the La bor committee. He said this was not true. He recalled that last week he had denounced the bill as 'unacceptable to the AFL CIO." He went further yester day saying flatly that unless its "defects are corrected by amendment, we urge defeat" of the committee bill. The substitute bill was spon sored by Reps. Phil M. Lan- drum (T5-Ga. and Robert P. Griffin (R-Mich.). Robert Kennedy and his brother, Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.), co-author of the Senate bill, defended the House committee version. Rob ert Kennedy called it "a very strong piece of legislation" in a recorded interview with Rep. Ken Hechler (D-W.Va.).
