Medford Tribune JUi Evidence off Communist Change "in Objectives Seen (Continued from Pag One) I see no evidence that the Communists have changed their objective of ultimate world domination. They now challenge u s economically and politically as well as mil itarily. Of course, we have no choice but to meet these chal lenges. Yet we ought never to allow ourselves to be in timidated to the extent that we lose hope of ever inducing the Communists to cooperate genuinely with us in ways of peace. But we must be sure not to lend ourselves to a compromise that would recog nize Russia's domain over her satellites, and the surrender of those people to her per manent control. We need but to remember Khrushchev's recent brazen explanation for the Soviet Union's intervention during the Hungarian revolt. Evidence of Maneuvering I see growing evidence of Khrushchev's maneuvering for position where he would compromise some issues with the West in return for the maintenance of the status quo. We were smiled into a sum mit meeting at Geneva with Bulganin and Khrushchev and we were then led to be- Brazil Capital May Move To New Location by Spring Rio De Janeiro-IUPD-Presi dent Juscelino Kubitschek has vowed that come what may he will move the capital of Brazil to its new inland location by next spring The government is pushing construction of the new city of Brasilia on a crash sched ule. More than 20,000 men are working day and night to get the capital ready for oc cupancy by the target date of April 21, 1960. Here in the present capital, the House of Deputies has voted to create a commission to investigate the project, which has been called a nest of waste, corruption, nepo tism and plain stupidity. Deputy Elias A d a i m e charged that friends of the administration are being let in on lucrative land buys which if not crooked are mor ally dishonest. Land values at Brasilia have skyrocketed in the past two and a half years. Speculators are making as much as 400 per cent profit on quick real estate turn overs. Kubitschek denies that Bra silia is a bottomless pit into which he is pouring public funds. He says he regards the foundation of the new capital as the major accomplishment of his administration. Too Late to Stop Even opponents of the pro ject admit it is too late to turn back. About $45 million already has been spent on construction that was origin ally estimated to run $100 million. Critics claim the fin al cost will be three times that figure. Brasilia is rising out of the Goias highland about 70p miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Shifting the capital in land has been discussed in Brazil since colonial days when Rio de Janeiro was re garded as too vulnerable to raids by pirates and foreign forces. The move is being car ried out today to speed settle ment and development of Brazil's vast hinterland. Population Grows When Kubitschek signed the decree launching the Bra-f silia project he noted that 85 per cent of Brazil's 62 million population still lives along the coast. He said there are nearly four million square miles of undeveloped terri tory in the interior. Since ground was broken for the new capital in 1956, Brasilia has grown to a pop ulation of 71,500. Buildings completed include the presi dential residence, the big Pal ace Hotel and 500 low-cost homes. New roads link the ctiy with Belo Horizonte, An apolis, Sao Paulo, Corumba, Barreiros and Belem. Planes use a 10,725-foot airport which is the only one in Bra zil equipped to accommodate international jet airliners. Heavy equipment is now trucked into Brasilia but plans call for extending two railroads to the city. The only communication services are a telegraph run by the Com munnications Ministry, an Army radio station nd a radio-telephone connecting the project headquarters with the capitol in Rio. The workers? quarters on . the outskirts of Brasilia re semble a 19th century Amer ican boom town, complete with wooden sidewalks and clapboard buildings. A dusty street is lined with bars that ?-e crowded after a work-day tii-t averages 12 hours. Several bawdy houses do a l-.-isk business, and workers v-ho shun such places can vis a sing?e movie house, go hunting on the nearby prair ies or fish in the three rivers - that border the city. Planners and builders say Brasilia will be the most sci entifically laid out city in the world. Built according to a prize-winning plan by ar chitect Lucio Costa, it will eventually cover about 95 square miles in the form of a soaring eagle. There will be 67 miles of spacious tree-bordered ave nues, and no slums. Green parks will dot the city. The site was chosen by Donald J. Belcher Associates. American planning consult ants, after a study of 8,000 aerial photographs and sur vey reports. A tract of 3,625 square miles was ceded to the Federal government by the state of Goias, and the ter ritory will become the future Federal District. Crab Fishermen, Firm, in Agreement Astoria - (UPD - Crab fisher men here and the San Juan Fish Packing Company - of Warrenton, have reached an agreement, it has been announced. The settlement calls for the boats to deliver crab to the firm at 14 cents a pound start ing Sunday. lieve that a new climate for peace was being created to discover that we were in for a period of new betrayals, new threats and new crises. We learned during the days of Munich that you cannot consign people to designing dictatorships as their' price for a temporary peace, and I was glad to see the President, in keeping with our tradition, reiterate in his speeches dur ing his recent trip the necessi ty of freedom with peace. Acclaim Heartening The acclaim accorded to the President by the people of Asia and Europe was as welcome as it was heartening. For over and above the trib ute paid to the person of the President, it was a significant affirmation by the millions of people that they have not changed their idea of the United States. It was recognition of the contribution of the American people to the welfare of other peoples. And I am glad to see that these people were not taken in by Communist propaganda which had cease lessly bombarded the world with falsehoods about our true aims. For this reason we must continue to do everything we can in our foreign assistance program. I must be frank to say that the present administration in recent years has not done all it should have done to reach and hold the minds and the hearts of many millions of people desperately hungry for peace and who are seeking to adjust themselves to new eco nomic freedoms and the eter nal human aspirations for equality and dignity. Task Often Forgotten I hope the President's trip has reminded some people here and abroad what our task is-a task which has often been forgotten through inac tion arid complacency and a reluctance to make sacrifices necessary to maintain our strength and freedom.

But peaceful coexistence to the Communists means a chal lenge to survival, with ascen dancy for one and extinction for the other, a condition we could never accept. What we need is coopera tion ' for peace cooperation for peace on a world plan which would include the Rus sian people, and in time the Chinese people of all political shades. This plan requires in part, effective disarmament, subject to international in spection and control. There can be no peaceful coopera tion without disarmament un der United Nations supervis ion. But of equal importance for the success of a plan for peaceful cooperation is that all nations join in the devel opment and use and exchange of the world's resources for the benefit of the people themselves instead of coloni alism, ancient style or mod ern. There can be no enduring peace without this kind of world economic cooperation. Youth's Wheelless Car Built of Junk At Expense of $4 Anchorage, Alaska (UPD The Curtiss-Wright Corp., one of America's most important firms, spent thousands and thousands of dollars, several Ruling on Dunes Proposals Expected Salem -(UPD- The governor's committee on natural re sources which meets here next Tuesday is expected to render a final decision in revised pro posals of the controversial Oregon Dunes National Sea shore area. - Dan P. Allen, chairman, said several committee mem bers have suggested changes in existing legislative pro posals. Allen said the committee wants to learn from interested parties information which may lead to formulation of broad state policy in assuring the best use of all lands for all the citizens.

He said that water, tele phone and other service con nections in the buildings in the block have been disconnected. years of research by top scien tists and the use of intricate and delicate machines to build a wheelless car that would float on air. Craig W. Vetter, 17, an aver age American high school stu dent with average grades, spent $4, a little spare time and a conglomeration of junk, including a chain saw engine, an old tractor radiator fan and some plywood, to do the same thing. Both Succeeded The amazing thing is that both succeeded. Curtiss-Wright recently put its car of the future on display in New York's Rockefeller Center. It rose on furious jets of air, swirled leaves around it and truly was a sight to behold and a credit to Ameri can industry. Young Vetter's infernal ma chine is a tremendous compli ment to the ingenuity of American youth in the young state of Alaska. Vetter became interested in the air car, called a Ground Effect Machine (GEM), when he read an article in a science journal on the possibility of using such a device in the army of the future. Need in Alaska "I figured there was a real need for such an invention in Alaska," Craig told United Press International.
