Junior Achievement
Program Discussed
Medford can have a Junior
Achievement program for an
approximate cost of $3,150,
according to Richard A.
Ballou, western regional rep
resentative f the organiza
tion. . Ballou spoke to a group of
20 civic and business leaders
who met at the Rogue Valley
Country club this morning to
investigate the possibility of
having a JA program here.
Junior Achievement,-Ballou
said, is a program sponsored

basement.
Pittsburgh Transit
System Paralyzed
Pittsburgh-UPD-A strike of
1,700 trolley and bus operat
ors paralyzed Pittsburgh's
mass transit system today,
causing huge traffic jams in
several sections of the city.
Arbitration, Third Party Suggested
By Labor Secretary in Steel Strike
Washington UJPB Secretary
of Labor James P. Mitchell
today advised union and man
agement negotiators to sub
mit the steel dispute to arbi
tration or let a neutral third
party - recommend settlement
terms.
Ike Would Approve
Mitchell said these proced
ures would meet approval of
President Eisenhower who ap
pealed to both sides to reach
an agreement by collective
bargaining before he returns
from his overseas goodwill
tour Dec. 22.
Union and management ne
gotiators were expected to
by businesses to give high
school youth a pre-business
education by helping them to
form small companies which
they run by themselves with
the help of advisors from a
local firm.
They conduct an entire
business operation, from its
formation to its liquidation,
all in the course of an eight
month period, he said.
Well-Received Here
Russ Jamison, of the Public
Relations Service in Medford,
and one of . those who are
hopeful of organizing a JA
program in Medford, said the
idea' of a local group was en
thusiastically received by
those attending the meeting.
Other meetings will be held
in the near future, he said, to
further investigate the possi
bility of having a JA here.
Mayor John Snider said he
was interested in the program
and would pledge his full sup
port to establishing it here.
To establish a JA program
in Medford, Ballou said, local
businessmen must give the
needed financial support
which would include the pur
chasing of office space, ma
chinery, and insurance neces
sary for an operation. He esti
mated this cost would not ex
ceed $3,150.
Necessary Supervision
The National Junior
Achievement headquarters in
New York will provide the
necessary supervision and
training of personnel to con
duct the local program but
will provide no financial as
sistance, Ballou said.
He emphasized the fact that
Junior Achievement National
is a non-profit organization,
dedicated to promoting busi
ness education among high
school students, i He pointed
out that all money raised in
Medford for a JA program
would stay in Medford and
none would go to other Junior
Achievement organizations.
Students interested in JA
are divided up into groups of
15 to 20 persons who meet to
form their own companies, he
said. Each company must have
a sponsor who will provide
three trained advisors to as
sist the students in various
business procedures.
The average company pro
duces from $300 to $4U0
worth of goods, which accord
ing to Ballou, would have no
impact on the existing, eco
nomic life of the community,
Medford would initially be
able to support five or six JA
companies, Banou saia. wu
having such programs that
would be comparable to one
in Medford, include, Boise,
Reno, Salinas, Calif., Eugene,
Casper, Wyo., and Pueblo,

Medford
School Superintendent
In writing the series of ar
ticles on my visit to the
U.S.S.R., I have attempted to
make a factual objective re
port. While I must admit to
certain prejudices, I find now
that a few have been temper
ed and a few strengthened.
Any errors or misinterpreta
tions are mine.
It is with a deep sense of
gratitude that I express ap
preciation to those who made
mv trip possible. Without
their approval, encourage
ment, and contributions,
would not have been able to
accept the invitation to join
the first group of public
school administrators to visit
behind the "Iron Curtain."
The project was co-sponsored
by the National Education as

Hated Regime
Declared Forced
On Hungarians
United Nations, N.Y.-OJPD-
The United States declared to
day that Russia maintained
50,000 troops in Hungary to
make the Hungarians "accept
a regime which was imposed
from the outside and which
they thoroughly hate.";
U. S. Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge made the charge
at the outset of the General
Assembly's new debate on the
1956 Hungarian freedom re
volt and its bloody suppres
sion by Russia.
The U.S. and 23 other coun
tries had before the assembly
a resolution deploring the
"continued disregard" by the
Soviet Union, and the present
Hungarian regime of repeat
ed U.N. appeals for with
drawal of Russian forces and
the holding of free elections
in Hungary.
Hungary Will Be Free
"Hungary, by p e a c e f ul
means and in God's time, will
one day be free, if we uphold
the U. N. Charter," Lodge
said.
Sir Leslie Munro, U. N.
special representative on the
Hungarian question whom
Moscow and Budapest refused
to let into Hungary, told the
assembly Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev largely
agreed with the report of the
Assembly's investigation of
the revolt when he spoke rec
ently to the Communist Party
Congress at Budapest.

cation and international rela
tions. We were a representa
tive group in that our mem
bers were from 18 states.
Should Be Increased
In reviewing our experienc
es it is my judgment that ex
change visits should be in
creased. These programs
might include representatives
from all phases of American
and Soviet economic, politi
cal, educational, and cultural
life. It is my belief that this
type of program is the "best
way" to accomplish peaceful
co-existence between our two
countries. It would be far
more economical in terms of
money and human sacrifice
than by military means. Sov
iet groups and individuals
with whom we conferred en
thusiastically agreed with the
above point of view. I believe
they were sincere as were we.
I was continually amazed at
the dedication, confidence and
enthusiasm of the Soviet
people as they prepare and
work toward their well-planned
objectives. I sensed a
feeling of dissatisfaction on
the part of a few. Whether
this indicates a "ground swell
of public opinion" that will
immediately change aspects
of their existing program is
doubtful.
In my discussion with in
dividuals they appeared to be
desirous of having the right
to read newspapers, books,
and periodicals from other
countries, particularly the
U.S.A. I was often asked for
American books, dictionaries,
records, and magazines. These
are prohibited unless strongly
anti-America. While they ac
cept censorship and regimen
tation, there appears to be a
growing . resentment against
it-
Different Purpose ;
There were features of the
Soviet education program
which we should . carefully
evaluate. However, as a
"package exchange," we must
completely reject their pro
gram. Theirs is designed to
serve an entirely different
purpose than ours. If we were
to adopt even a major portion
of it, our "way of life" would
be lost.
The distorted, false, taken
out - of - context version of
American life as written in
their textbooks (and other
literature) was offensive and
disgusting. Ironically, sUch
biased information has not
poisoned the young people or
the older ones against Ameri
cans. Wherever we went, in
dividually and in groups,
these people were polite, cour
teous and friendly.

Continue U. S.
Aid To Pakistan
Mutual Security
Held Essential
Karachi - (UPD - President
Eisenhower today pledged
continued American aid to
Pakistan, a "courageous ally,"
and agreed with President
Mohammed Ayub Khan that
Free World cooperation for
mutual security against Com
munism is essential. .
For his part, Ayub describ
ed Eisenhower as "an extra
ordinary head of an extra
ordinary state. Never before
in the history of man has one
country taken upon itself so
much to preserve the peace
and freedom of others as the
United States of America."
Questions Reviewed
The two leaders summed up
talks during Eisenhower's
two-day visit in a 400-word
communique which said they
"reviewed generally world
wide political questions and
in particular the problems of
relations between the Free
World . and the Sino - Soviet
bloc."
In what appeared to be an
indirect reference to Pakis
tan's dispute with India over
Kashmir, they said they dis
cussed "relations among the
nations of the area and the
urgent desirability of finding
solutions to existing disputes
Cheered by Crowd
Their talks had been sand
wiched between the most tu
multuous welcome ever given
a visitor to Pakistan, and a
sight - seeing tour in which
Eisenhower saw a wild dis
play of . wheeling horseback
maneuvers bv fierce Pakis
tani cavalrymen and was
cheered anew by a crowd at
a cricket match.
Excavation Tests
For Stadium Made
Persons who observed exca
vation tests for the proposed
athletic stadium at the Jack
son county fairgrounds south

County Judge Earl Miller said
yesterday.
The tests were to determine
the value of fill material
which could be obtained from
the site.
Next steD will be to refer
the matter to the stadium
committee composed of com
munitv residents. The commit
tee will be asked to pinpoint
the location they had in mind
for the stadium plan proposed
bv John Weisbrod, Medford.
The committee has propos
ed that fill material could be
sold from a section of the fair
grounds to pay for excavation
and construction of most of an
athletic stadium.
Those witnessing the tests
were County Engineer Paul
Rynning, Jack McCormick,
resident engineer, state high
way department; Rodney Mill
er, of Peter Kiewitt and com
pany, contractors for a section
of the Highway 99 freeway,

Ivy Bluff Break
'Inexcusable'
Day Shift Finds
Guards in Cells
Yanceyville, N.C. (UPD
Twenty incorrigible convicts
took over the maximum secur
ity Ivy Bluff prison camp
early today and escaped with
an arsenal of pistols, rifles
and a sub-machinegun.
Fifteen of the 35 prisoners
at Ivy Bluff chose to stay be
hind but the rest followed the
lead of Charles (Yank) Stew
art, a longterm convict whose
father and brother were exe
cuted in Raleigh in the 1920s
for murdering a policeman.
Break "Inexcusable
The fugitives, 14 whites and
six Negroes, included six life
termers.
Col. William F. Bailey, state
prison director, termed "in
excusable" the break from
Ivy Bluff, scene of a number
of prison self-maimings.
Prison officials received a
report late this morning that
a man, believed to be one of
the fugitives, had been seen
about seven miles from here.
They sent a truckload of
bloodhounds, two guards and
two dog handlers to the area.
In Washington, the FBI an
nounced it was entering the
case on the strength of indi
cations the prisoners had fled
the borders of North Carolina.
The prison is located 50 miles
northeast of Greensboro, near
the Virginia border.
Series of. Ruses
The break was not revealed
for several hours after a day
shift guard, coming on duty
at 4:30 a.m., discovered the
night guards locked in cells.
The prisoners took over the
prison by a series of ruses.
They slugged one guard, and
raced away from the camp
shortly after midnight in a
stolen truck and car. Later
they wrecked the car and all
20' climbed into the pick-up
truck, which had benches and
a wire-cage door for transport
ing prisoners.
The escape was well
planned, apparently by Stew
art, Xvho once said he would
do anything to get ou of Ivy
Bluff.
