British Demand For Cyprus Base Brings Deadlock London (CPU British, Turk ish and Greek Cypriot dele gates were deadlocked today over a British demand for a 125-square-mile military base on Cyprus as the price for that island's independence on Feb. 19. The conference, which be gan on Saturday, resumed again this morning to try to work out details of the year old agreement under which the former colony is to be come an independent nation within the British Common wealth. But Britain says it must have a major 16,000-man mili tary base there to be able to cope with "brush fire" wars in the Middle East and be cause Cyprus is necessary for NATO. The main opposition comes from Archbishop Ma karios, Cyprus' president elect. He was willing to allow a much smaller base but said Britain was trying to set up a "little Hong Kong" in the Mediterranean and that any base should be limited to about 36 square miles. Complete deadlock might delay independence between now and the Teb. 19 target date and perhaps result in new outbreaks of violence on the island which has already seen nearly four years of bloodshed. One of the chief objections offered by Greek Cypriots was that the base area want ed by Britain contained some of the island's most import ant farm land. Basil Ralhbone Taken to Hospital Columbus, Ohio-(UPfl- Actor Basil Rathbone was reported in good condition today but was expected to remain in a hospital a few days before re joining the touring company of "J.B."

Traffic Safety Plans Discussed Portland (UPD - A traffic safety seminar for newsmen Saturday revealed plans to use psychological research on traffic problems in the 1960s. Portland television person ality Tom McCall moderated the session. The seminar was sponsored by the Oregon Traffic Safety commission in cooperation with the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, the Oregon Association of Broad casters and the Oregon State Motor Association. Paul Jones, information di rector of the National Safety Council, said application of psychological research in the traffic safety field would tie in with the "three E's" now basic to traffic safety plan ning: Engineering, education and enforcement. As a specific move, state traffic safety officials will meet soon with the Oregon State Hospital medical staff to discuss the question of how to change driver attitudes. Speakers indicated the state's driver improvement program could be benefited by psychological research which would be designed to be helpful and not to infringe on rights of individual drivers. American Motors lost more than a point in the autos where Ford and Studebaker declined fractions and Chrys ler and General Motors were unchanged. American Home Products lost more than a point in drugs. Motorola added more than 2 in the electronics, and United Carbon added around 4 in the chemicals. Washington - (UPD - Demo crats reacted skeptically to day to President Eisenhow er's budget forecasts. Repub licans praised them. Con gressmen of both parties agreed there is little if any chance the $4,200,000,000 sur plus he foresaw will mater ialize. Democrats were quick to note that the President's spending plans for the fiscal 1960 contemplate cutbacks in a number of welfare pro grams. They said Congress is not likely to buy these re ductions. Republicans joined Democrats in rejecting the President's plea for higher Seminar Course Set To Start This Week Annual production of car bonated beverages, or soft drinks, is valued at more than $100 million in Canada. If sufficient interest is shown, 20 of Medford's top businessmen this week will begin a seminar course which represents one phase of an overall executive develop ment program. The course, which deals with the "human factors in management," is slated to start Thursday at the Rogue Valley Country club. It will continue each Thursday through Feb. 18. The class will meet for seven hours on each of the five Thursdays, although the exact meeting and adjourning times have not yet been announced. Sponsored by System Sponsored by the state sys tem of higher education's gen eral extension division, the seminar offers "a concentrat ed study of effective leader ship to improve the perform ance of supervisors, adminis trators and executives." Twenty applicants are needed to begin the. seminar, according to Raymond E. Pet tey, the division's representa tive in this area. Pettey s headquarters are at Southern Oregon college. In order that as many firms as possible may be represent ed, Pettey said, business con cerns are asked to nominate orfly one representative. Fee for the - seminar . is $75 per person. The course will be conduct ed by Dr. Charles F. War- nath, industrial psychologist at the University of Oregon. Need Commitments The main problem, Pettey said, is obtaining 20 commit ments for the seminar. As of Friday, there were only four, with five "possibles." Pettey said the seminar had been conducted successfully in other Oregon communities, including Eugene and Salem. Objectives of the program. accordig to the extension di vision are: To establish a clear under standing of differences in per ception how values which people hold influence what they see and what they do; Identify Difficulties To identify possible diffi culties in interpersonal rela tionships met in carrying out duties and responsibilities of leadership; To explore problems of communication, and to devel op skills making for more ef fective use of executive time; To improve ability to iden tify basic causes of behavioral patterns, to analyze prob lems, ana to take appropri ate action, and To obtain a clear objective analysis of one's self, one's strengths and weaknesses, and to assist in the maximum development of "individual" potential. Firms or individuals desir ing more information about the seminar should contact Pettey's office. Applications, he said, will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. postal rates and "another in crease in gasoline taxes. i View With Caution "The people must view with caution the President's estimate of a $4,200,000,000 surplus for the new fiscal year," said House Demo cratic Leader John W. Mc Cormack (Mass.). "We should recall that in January, 1958, in presenting the budget for the fiscal 1959, Eisenhower forecast a surplus of $500 mil lion. We ended that year with a $12,500,000,000 deficit." House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck (Ind.) saw the budget as a Republican challenge to Democratic "spenders" and "do-gooders" and called on the public to support the President and economy-minded members of Congress in their determina tion to hold the line on spend ing. Rep. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.), chairman of a liberal Demo cratic bloc in the House, said he was "shocked and ap palled" at the President's pro posal to terminate or cut back existing programs in the field of water pollution, hospital construction, and veterans and college housing. Senate Democratic Whip Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said that the President's forecast of a $4,200,000,000 surplus next year was based on "ifs, ands, and buts." Mansfield said that he doubted Congress would "look kindly" on the requested hike in gasoline taxes and in post age rates. Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen (111.) said if Congress follow, the recom mendations "the surplus can be achieved." "The whole responsibility rests on the shoulders of Con gress since under the Con stitution it is the only body in government which has the authority to appropriate funds out of the federal Treasury." Dirksen said. SCULPTOR DIES Washington - OJPD - Rudulph Evans, 81, the sculptor who created the statue of Thomas Jefferson lor the Jefferson Memorial here, died Saturday.
