C MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 0 Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1959 Castro May Be Forced To Ease oAnti-U.S. Stand Portland-(UPB-Fidel Castro, boss of Cuba's revolutionary government, may be forced to ease his anti-American poli cies during the next three or four months because of urgent economic needs, a veteran newsman predicted Monday. Francis L. McCarthy, Unit ed Press International Cuba manager, told a Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting that Castro's economic prob lems would reach the crisis stage within the next 90 to 120 days. Castro will be forced, said McCarthy, to either modify his anti- American position and reverse some of his re form program or face two pos- siDie alternatives. Economy Laps Possible The UPI correspondent said collapse of the Cuban econ omy could occur, thus open ing the door to communism, or Castro could be faced with a series of counter-revolu tions. Although McCarthy said he did not believe Castro to be a card-carrying communist, he added that he did not en tertain the same reservation fbout many of his associates, both within and without the government. e Castro still is extremely popular with the masses, but has lost the support of a good egment of the middle and upper classes, according to McCarthy. McCarthy, currently on a Ifcture tour of the nation, fovered the Castro-led revolu tion in Cuba. He will return his Havana post in mid vember.

New Guinea Natives Will Dispute Future Landings on Editor's Note The following dispatch was written by a Divine Word Missionary wno worm among the natives of New Guinea By the REV. DR. R. M. WILTGEN. S.V.D. (Written for UPI) Madang, New Guinea - (DPD- When the first American or Russian lands on the moon, he will find his country's lunar claim disputed by some na tives of New Guinea who say it's their own personal prop erty.. Authority for this statement is Peter Alu of Rivo, custodian of native traditions in this area, who says the moon orig inally belonged to the villag ers of tiny Malmal Li ana, just north of Madang. Keeper of Moon According to Aiu, one Mal mal native was long ago ap pointed keeper of the moon, which he always kept locked up in his room by day, hang ing it up in the village by night ito supply everybody with light. ..Then one morning, leaving most of their children behind, the men and women of Mal mal went; to the mainland to work on their gardens. . , - "Open the door and let us have a closer look, at the moon," said curious young sters to the boy whose father was keeper of the moon. ""No, I can't do that," the boy said trembling. "If my father ever found out that I opened the door while he was gone, -he would give me the worst beating of my life.". Unlaced Vines But his playmates bothered him so much that he finally gave in and unlaced the strong vines , which held the door shut j In a flash, the moon sprout ed legs and ran away as fast as he could, out 'of the grass hut, across the yard and up the highest tree in the village. . One of the boys had enough presence of mind to pick up some glowing embers from the fire on the floor and throw them into the moon's face as he ran past, hoping to blind the moon and hinder his flight. , But the moon's eyes .were hot damaged and" his' escape seemed complete. Moon Kept Going The keeper's son doggedly went after the moon and fol lowed him up the tree. The moon kept right on going and after clearing the top of the tree, he, went sailing through space until he landed some where between the earth and the stars where he has re mained ever since. That night the keeper of the moon came back from the mainland and gave his disobe dient son the worst thrashing of his life. "Today when you look at an advertising agency which that." , light and I don't know any k the moon," Aiu said, "you'ean still see the black marks from the glowing embers that were thrown in his face. Aiu confessed that he per sonally was not sure whether the story was fact or fiction, but he said it had been handed down by his ancestors for countless generations. Moon Misconceptions About Oregon Discussed at Chamber Roundtable Oregon's business, develop ment-has suffered because those who would sell the state as a site for new industries have lacked confidence in their product, a public re lations expert said, here Mon day. "I'm not sure we've be lieved completely in our own product," William Dawkins, who spoke with, particular reference to southern: Ore gon, said. "Certainly we have "a good product," Dawkins told a Jackson County Chamber of Commerce roundtable lunch eon audience. . "What we have to do primarily- is believe in the good things we have," he said. Dawkins discussed "popular misconceptions" about Oregon revealed last August at a con vention of Western electronics manufacturers ? in San k Fran cisco. He was one member of a team of Oregon business men and officials, including Gov. Mark Hatfield, who at tended the convention in hopes of promoting interest in" the state. :;-:- .::J ,-" Opposed io Industry He mentioned in particular beliefs that Oregon was actul ly opposed to industry and preferred protection of its natural beauties, that Oregon was just "a place to retire," that the state's tax structures was prohibitive and that par ticularly in souhern Oregon inadequate transportation was a hopeless drawback. "We've started a great deal of it ourselves,' Dawkins said of these attitudes, by becom ing "pessimistic" about; the state. "We've spread the word of our own pessimism." Dawkins, who operates the public relations firm which bears his name here, said co operation among various com munities was important in so liciting industry. He cited the teamwork at San Francisco between the Jackson County . and Grants Pass Chambers of Commerce as an example of successful effort. "I think we're foolish," he said, "if we take just one com Bank Deposits Show $55 Million Increase The First National Bank of Oregon recorded $55 million gain in deposits- during the past year, establishing a new autumn mark, it was reported by.

Futhermore, the be havior of most adult smokers has not been appreciably al tered. . , ' "Although we have been able to get across a message, which is clear, that there is a significant correlation be tween cigarette smoking and the incidence of lung cancer, the message has not proved acceptable to the audience to which it is directed," he said, Different Audience Urged The effectiveness of any health education program de pends somewhat on ' what is acceptable to the audience, he reminded colleagues. Refer ring to the lung cancer mes sage, he suggested that it be altered, forgotten or directed at a -different audience, i.e., school children rather than adults.
