I seriously question the wis
dom of President Eisenhow
er's going to Moscow. If this
journey leads the world to ex
pect that peace can be ad
vanced by the mere exchange
of visits between heads of
government, then we all face
certain disappointment.
The President already has
declared that he has not in
tention of conducting separate
negotiations with Khru
shchev. If that is the case,
why could not the amenities
be confined to Khrushchev's
visit to the United States,
where he will be received
with the consideration due
him?
Should Be Big Occasion
When a President of the
United States leaves the
country, it should be a mo
mentous occasion in the exer
cise of the unique authority of
his office. The power and
leadership of the Presidency
should not be dissipated in
ceremonial visits reminiscent
of those days when diplomats
and rulers traveled back and
forth on their "balance of
power" visits, which marked
this, the bloodiest century of
history.
President Eisenhower is
leaving shortly for Europe to
dispel from the minds of our
allies any anxiety they may
have that the United States
and the Soviet Union would
engage in separate negotia
tions. I am sure that Presi
dent Eisenhower would be
quick to resent, and rightly
so, any suggestion that he is
embarking on a course of the
United States going it alone
with Russia.
Critical Problems
The critical problems we
continue to have with the
Kremlin are how to get it to
keep its commitments and to
stop it from interfering and
plotting in the internal af
fairs of other nations.
There can be no durable
peace until we make some
progress in those two areas.
From Yalta to Potsdam to
Geneva we have had many
meetings, all of which have

'Person to Person' Town
Steering Committee Reviews Program
The outline of a program
that brings together the citizens--
of cities thousands of
miles apart was heard by a
small group of local residents
Monday at a corner table in
the Medford hotel coffee
shop. .
The occasion was the first
meeting' of Medf ord's "person
to person" town affiliation
steering committee, called by
acting chairman Robert Bac
cus, Medford city councilman
and principal of Wilson
school. v -
The speaker was H. Price
Webb from San Jose, Calif.,
last year's president of the
Pacific Neighbors, San Jose's
afiliation committee.
"If Little Rock had had a
town affiliation," Webb re
marked, "things might have
been a lot different:"
Affiliation Purpose
The purpose of affiliation,
as he explained it, is to add
new stones to a foundation
for world peace by creating
mutual respect, understand
ing and good will among the
common people of the world.
"If we have to livt with
t
Ponders
of Ike's
Moscow
resulted in failure not be
cause of any acts of ours - but
solelv because the Commu
nists have not lived up to their
promises.
An exchange of visitors
holds no more promise of
success than we have had in
conferences and diplomatic
negotiations. The President
probably will meet the same
Khrushchev in Moscow that
he met in Geneva and will
meet again in Washington-a
man with an unyielding ambi
tion and fixed purpose.

Phoenix Club
Plans lo Discuss
Pool, Festival
Phoenix-A meeting of the
Phoenix Community club will
be held at 8 p.m. Monday in
the clubhouse to discuss ten
tative plans for a community
swimming pool and a Fall
Festival at Hallowe'en.
Other plans to-be discussed
include a summer recreation
program and use of the club-
h mse for a kindergarten.
Allen Harris, community
club president, said the Phoe
nix school board has approv
ed possible future construc
tion of a swimming pool on
the high school grounds.
Since the school is connected
with Medford water the wa
ter supply would be more
plentiful than if Phoenix wa
ter were used, Harris ex
plained. The pool also could
be used for physical educa
tion classes and could be
opened 'to the public when
school is not in session.
Carnival Considered
A carnival with Hallowe'en
theme might be scheduled, it
was suggested at a club meet
ing last night. So far little
interest has been shown In a'
Fall Festival, it was pointed
out.
Each of the nine members
attending were asked to con
tact other organization dele
gates to the club. Harris
urged the general public to
attend the meeting Monday so
the club program could be
reactivated.
The kindergarten 'would
run from 9 to 11:30 a.m. four
days a week. A spokesman for
the kinder gartent said approx
imately 18 children of pre
school age would use the club
house facilities with a retired
school teacher as their in
structor. Lawsuit Filed in

understand them, we have a
much greater assurance of
peace on earth."
Webb discussed at length
the success of the affiliation
between San Jose and Oka
yama, Japan.
Among the myriad possible
ways of promoting'persbn to
person" relationships between
affiliated cities are visits by
dignitaries, student ex
changes, letter-writing and
tape recordings, art apd pho
tography exhibits, window
displays, gifts of trees, other
symbolic' objects and litera
ture and development of
friendships" between service
clubs and between other
groups like the Boy Scouts.
The more citizens and
groups who participate, the
better.
- Most American cities in the
program ' so far have been
considerably larger than Med
ford, Webb reported. But, he
said, there is hope that smaller
communities may participate
as well. For cities like Med
ford, he said, "it's a little
more of a challenge."

Seeds of Distrust
Khrushchev's Aim
Kefauver Asserts
Wrecking of NATO
Said Prime Goal
Washington (UPD Sen.
Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said
today Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev would consider
his forthcoming U. S. visit a
success if he "sowed the seeds
of distrust" between the West
ern Allies.
"If those seeds take root and
grow, then he will have
achieved what I believe to be
the number one aim of Mos
cow, the wrecking of NATO,
Kefauver said in a speech pre
pared for Senate delivery.
Invitation Approved
Nevertheless, he said he
approved of President Eisen
hower's invitation to Khrush
chev and of the President's
talks with Western leaders in
Europe starting Wednesday.
"But I think we should not
deceive ourselves as to the dif
ficulties and dangers inherent
in this type of personal diplo
macy between the heads of
government," Kefauver said.
"I think our best defense
against the wiles of Mr.
Khrushchev on his forthcom
ing trip is to refuse to take
our eyes off the ball."
Should Be Hospitable
"We should be gracious and
hospitable, we should show
him our stoves and refrigera
tors and kitchen sinks with
disposals and anything else he
wants to see, but we should
show him also ,that we are
serious about building our At
lantic community."
Kefauver said he was confi
dent Eisenhower would assure
the leaders of Britain, France
and West Germany that he
would not bargain away any
of their interests in his talks
with Khrushchev.
White House Silent
The White House had no
comment today on Senate
Democratic Leader Lyndon B.
Johnson's statement that it
would be up to the administra
tion to initiate any invitation
to Khrushchev to address a
joint session of congress.
Chairman Francis Walter
(D-Pa.) of the House Commit
tee on un-American activities,
said Monday night, he has ad
vised Eisenhower in a letter
to bone up on the Communist
conspiracy before conferring
with Khrushchev. Walter told
the President that the Red
"espionage operation" in this
country was part of the Com
munists' total war on the free
world.
Commissioner Goes
On Highway Tour
County Commissioner Ches
ter Wendt has returned from
a week end forest road in
spection tour of the Gold
Beach area with representa
tives of O and C counties.
Representatives of Doug
las, Lane, Curry, Polk and
Jackson county toured the
new road construction up the

a 20-foot driving surface. Sev
eral proposed recreation areas
were also inspected, Wendt
said.
Affiliation
might participate jointly with
Ashland or other Jackson
county -towns, Webb replied,
"It might be a most whole
some thing to make it a joint
venture."
Outlined Steps
He outlined these steps for
establishing an affiliation:
1. Official support by the
city government;
2. Correspondence with the
United States Information
agency or the American Mu
nicipal association, two groups
that provide guidance in set
ting the wheels in motion and
advice on selecting an affili
ate. Once the foreign city ac
cepts the invitation, usually
tendered through the USIA,
the exchanges begin.
Among others at Monday's
meeting were Medford com
mittee members Bill Barker,
Bill Singler and Mrs. Justin
Smith and Don Lewis of the
Ashland city council. Other
members of the Medford com
mittee, who were not present

Chief Executive
Hopes for Mutual
But Firm Stand
Assistance for Other
Nations To Be Sought
Washington -(UPD- President
Eisenhower, on the eve of his
departure for Western
Europe, said today he hoped
that he and allied "leaders
would join in a mutual state
ment of readiness to negoti
ate with Russia, but in firm
determination never to re
treat from their basic prin
ciples. -
Eisenhower told a news
conference he also would sug
gest to the heads of West Ger
many, Great Britain, France
and Italy that they cooperate
in helping advance the health
and living standards of the
two billion people of the new
or underdeveloped nations.
Other Points
The chief executive, meet
ing with reporters before tak
ing off by jet plane early
Wednesday for Bonn, Ger
many, also made these other
outstanding points:
He said this government
has under immediate, urgent
study a request from the
the government of Laos for
new funds with which to fight
inroads of Communist forces.
He said the Russian gov
ernment notified him Monday
night tht Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev will be com
ing to the United States next
month as chief of the Russian
state. Therefore, the Presi
dent said he planned to wel
come Khrushchev personally
at the airport on his arrival
and entertain him at dinner
at the White House.
Without calling him by
name, Eisenhower struck
back forcefully at former
President Harry S. Truman
who criticized the chief execu
tive's planned trip to Russia
this fall. Eisenhower said he
was getting weary of people
speaking about blows to
presidential prestige at a time
when he was giving his last
atom of energy for the whole
human race.
