I Du Pont Official ; Speaks at Rotary t Failure of millions of ; Americans to understand the fundamentals of .freedom's strength contains" the seeds of Z potential national disaster, j John A.

IK 1109 COURT STREET O MEDFORD ' Red's Aggression Against India Tokyo-(IJPD-The new "India situation" is developing at a rapid pace 'along lines which probably will result in a ma jor diplomatic defeat for the Communists and may radical ly change the history of Asia and the rest of the world. The armed Chinese Com munist invasion of Indian ter ritory is. certain to swing mil lions of Indians and other Asians away - from - the "neu tral" or pro-Communist line they have-been following. Reports that prominent Rus sians have blamed India for the trouble and have support ed the Chinese Communist po sitions are certain to dim the affections of many Indians and a number of their Asian friends for Moscow. Major Event In Asia Diplomats and veteran As ian observers agreed that a major event in Asian affairs is taking place. Briefly, they fee? that free world will pro fit and the Communists will suffer.

NLRB must continue to take cases under standards in ef fect Aug. 1. Board may del TT TT inrougnout Asia, many well-informed students of for eign affairs are willing to bet that Indian neutrality is seri ously wounded, if not dead. In the face of popular senti ment, Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru will have a dif ficult time keeping India on the tight rope even if he wants to do so. - As yet, there is no logical explanation for the Chinese Communists military action against India, heretofore one of Peiping's best friends and strongest supporters. - Still unanswered is this big question: why should the Chi nese Communists deliberately plan and execute a military program which obviously is against their own selfish in terests. ' ! India Turned Against Reds - The-Chinese attack on In dia has turned millions of In-' dians against Red China and increased the Indian dis like for Communism in general. egate certain powers to reg ional directors.

SEE THE WESTINGHOUSE DESILU PLAYHOUSE , CHANNEL 5 EVERY MONDAY NITE. Reports of Russian sunnort for Peiping's positions have cooled the once warm Indian feelings for Moscow. By invading India, the Chinese Communists have ma terially aided Western efforts to bring India and Pakistan closer together. The attacks have exposed t h e j continuing aggressive character of the Peiping re gime, a government which has resorted to force in the face of Nehru's pleas for a peaceful settle.nent of the bor der disputes. Nehru's repeat ed attempts to secure informa tion on the v- pue borderline have been either brushed off or ignored. Two Things Appear Certain What is going to happen is hard to say, but two things appear certain: ' First, the Free World will not stand by, and see India overrun or deeply invaded by Red troops. If the Communist" armed forces progress far be pond the disputed border area, Free World aid will be promptly offered in abund ance and sufficient force to turn back the Reds and teach them a lesson. Second, even if the Chinese Communists withdraw their troops immediately; -they al ready: will have suffered a tre mendous - political and diplo matic defeat Already they have turned governments and millions of Asians against their once popular regime.

The opportunity was pre sented, to the members in a talk by Dr. Edwin R. Durno. Dr. Durno explained . the j different methods of taxation in Oregon and other states, drawing comparisons of Ore- gon and the other two western coastal' states, California and Washington, in regard " to methods of taxation and per centages of moneys derived according to population and also to income brackets. Dr. Durno also explained the referendum on income taxes which will appear on -the ballot in I960.' , Another highlight on the program was an explanation of the rural fire prevention matter by Roscoe Roberts, county deputy. Roberts explained the pro cess, necessary for the acquir 'ing of fire protection for rur al areas not already protected. ' The Grangers responded fa vorably to? Roberts' sugges tions, since a good number of Grangers have at present no adequate protection. Other matters discussed in cluded the yearly Grange pic nic, Booster night, and church night..
