I DARDANELLE iZSKf 99 HIGHWAY at GOLD HILL OVERPASS 1 KftjWtZJk . 15 Minutes from Medford - I LIVE MUSIC NIGHTLY 2 ' Including Beverly Prospect of Chiang Making Journey To United States Slim Taipei -(LTD- Some of his best friends are saying that Nationalist Chinese President Chiang Kai-shek should visit the United States and other nations friendly to Formosa in an effort to repair his diplo matic fences. But the prospects of his making such a trip are small indeed. Many AmericansMn Taipei believe that the 72-year-old Generalissimo is his country's best salesman and that he may be harming his government's international prestige by liv ing behind a silken curtain. Foreign visitors who meet Chiang in his closely guarded office often come away im pressed by the force of his personality and intellect. A Philippine cabinet offi cial told newsmen recently he was almost hypnotized by the strength of Chiang's eyes and general bearing. Mind Still Alert Americans in Taipei have said that some influential people in the United States probably think of Chiang as a doddering old man basking in the glory of past victories. But most visitors who have met Chiang gain the impres sion that he still possesses an alert mind and the "dynamic qualities of leadership -. and persuasion. Those favoring a Chiang trip abroad believe that it would inflate Nationalist stock wherever he went. They say that with little effort the Generalissimo could undermine opinions that the Nationalists are decaying un der a senile leader. The Taipei newspaper China News said recently "it might be well for the National Leader to make a trip to the United States and Free Asian nations to win more support to the cause of freedom. "As we are entering into a period when imposing world politics is being conducted through personal diplomacy, the time may be ripe for the President to consider a tour to meet with other world lead ers and exchange views on broad issues." But informed quarters doubt that the government is even considering a Chiang tour. Some sources state that the Generalissima will never leave Formosa unless it is to recapture the China main land. Chiang himself has said that he would not visit the United States until he can defeat the Communists. Although Chiang's state ment was not so explicit as to preclude any exceptions, several theories are advanced to rule out a Chiang trip. Shielded By Aides One school of thought holds that the Generalissimo is now living above and beyond cri ticism of any type. He is shielded by aides from critcs outside the coun try, while public criticism of the President on Formosa it self simply does not exist. Obituaries JOHN W. EASTWOOD Funeral services were held this afternoon at Memory Gardens Chapel of Memories for John W. Eastwood, 225 North Holly st., who died March 13. The Rev. Glenn McKerrow of First Christian church officiated. Among the survivors not previously listed is his widow, Mrs. Leda Pearl Eastwood. The couple lived In Medford for the last 16 years and re cently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. ELIZABETH HOMES Ashland - Private funeral services for Mrs. Elizabeth Homes, 81, who died Tu&sday, will be held at Litwiller's Mountain View chapel, Ash land, at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Cremation will follow. Mrs. Homes lived at 1161 Siskiyou blvd., Ashland. . AND DANCING EVERY NIGHT NOW FEATURING ESPRESSO CAFFE A Dardanelle Fint for Southern Orefen and Her Folksongs liil It is suggested that Chiang would not go to Washington and subject himself to pos sibly embarrassing questions from the press even if he knew he could field them like a pro. Some people think the Na tionalist government would not relish the idea of its presi dent facing even one "Go Home" sign no matter how much good he might accom plish. One direct slap at Chiang from one American on U.S. soil probably would give Red China enough propaganda material to last a decade. Legislators To Study Device For Auto Fumes Washington - (Science Serv ice) A House of Representa tives health subcommittee will study a simple, inexpens ive way to reduce air pollu tion with an automobile de vice that has nothing to do with the exhaust system. The device is a pipe that a handy mechanic could make. It goes onto the breather pipe of the crankcase. This breath er pipe under the hood had been relatively ignored while engineers sought a way to cut down on unburned hydrocar bons in auto exhausts with experimental after - burners and catalytic converters. But now the breather pipe has been identified as a ma jor emitter of hydrocarbons from gasoline. Hydrocarbons Returned The new pipe returns these hydrocarbons to the engine for burning. A device the Public Health Service has been testing has been estimated to cost $1.99. Rep. Kenneth Roberts (D Ala.) and Sen. Richard L. Neu berger (D-Ore.) have referred to a model that could cost a dollar or less factory-installed in new cars. The president of the Auto mobile Manufacturers associ ation, L. L. Colbert, has indi cated the device could be of fered as optional equipment on all 1961 cars and as stand ard equipment on all cars de livered in California. There are no patent prob lems because automobile manufacturers have agreed to share all devices to reduce air pollution. The pipe, however, is only a beginning. It is thought to reduce the total amount of hydrocarbons emitted by an engine by about 33 per cent to 40 per cent. It may have no effect on specific hydrocar bons found in exhaust gases and suspected of producing cancer. Good Running Order Needed Greater reduction of hydro carbons - by as much as two thirds would result if motor ists kept their cars in good running order, a Chrysler Corporation s t u d'y shows. Chrysler engineers compared the exhaust gases of 300 Los Angeles cars chosen at ran dom with their own fleet of cars, which receive a complete motor tune-up each 5,000 miles. (The engineers also found that proper maintenance would improve fuel economy from 15 per cent to 20 per cent.) As for the status of devices that reduce the amount of hydrocarbons from cars' ex haust pipes, some of these are reported to remove from 80 per cent to 90 per cent. But the cost ranges from $100 up wards per unit. Blood Vessels May Dilate in Attack Los Angeles-(Science Serv-ice)-The shock that follows an acute heart attack may be due to a disturbance in the blood vessels, preliminary ob servations with a new pro cedure indicate. The vessels may actually dilate rather than constrict, three investigators reported. It was once believed that de velopment of shock was re lated entirely to the severity of heart damage. The new procedure consists of a mobile unit, wheeled to a patient's bedside shortly after an attack, Drs. Maxwell J. Binder, L. E. Scaduto and Morton L. Pearce of the Uni versity of California Medical Center and the Veterans Ad ministration Center here said. A green dye technique meas ures the heart's output and blood pressure measurements are taken. So far, 22 patients have been studied with the device 24 to 48 hours after their attack. Surviving pa tients are re-studied when they are fully ambulant. Mrs. Kyle Named GOP Club Head Mrs. Richard Kyle, 42 South Keene Way, was elect ed president of the Jackson County Young Republican club recently. She succeeds Mrs Joseph D. Walsh, who submitted her resignation at the monthly meeting. Medford Lawyer John R. Dellenback, in an informal talk, defined the basic pur pose of U.S. government as "accomplishing for all of us what we need to have done, but cannot do for ourselves." "A government which claims it is serving us by doing more and more for us will ultimately become our master unless stopped," he declared, "because it will be able to control us by threaten ing to stop supplying these needs which are vital to us." Dellenback asserted that "government should protect us in our basic right to equal opportunity, without at the same time shackling us with laws which take away our freedom." It should not, he said, "protect us against some one punching us in the nose by tying up everyone's arms, including our own." Plans were discussed for a fund-raising dance to be held at Republican campaign head quarters. James Ragland and Don Stathos were named co chairman for the spring event. Visitors included two repre senatives of the newly organ ized Young Republican Club of Southern Oregon college. Weather FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Variable high cloudiness tonight and Thurs day.

This appeared certain when Phelps Dodge, nation's sec ond largest producer, an nounced it would join other producers in holding the price line at 33 cents a pound, de spite the shortage of copper due to long mine strikes, most of which are now ended. "American Metal Market," daily newspaper of the metals industry, points out that the decision to hold the price line could have several underly ing causes. Demand Lacking One is that there simply isn't a pressing demand for copper, indicating that busi ness in 1960 might not soar quite so high nor so fast as had been expected. For as the most price-sensitive of all major metals, copper has long been regarded as a key baro meter of the nation's econ omy. However, the daily metals newspaper says mat mere may be other, and less dis couraging factors behind the hold-the-line policy. One could be a new and ag gressive stand on the part of the producers against the market inroads made by more stably-priced jnetals such as aluminum, which has eaten into copper's markets in high voltage overhead cable, hard ware, roofing, . ornamental architecture and tubing. Battle on Imports Another factor tending to keep price steady is that brass mills, major users of raw cop per, are now in a knock-down battle with foreign mill im ports, and in many cases are finding it necessary to cut their own prices in order to compete. In any event, when do mestic prices stayed level Applications Being Taken for Grants High school students who will graduate in June from participating high schools are eligible to apply for a $500' "step to knowledge" scholar ship sponsored by Oregon Ne vada California Fast Freight, Inc., and Southern California Freight Lines, Cliff Proctor, public relations manager of Medford, has announced.

The Aluminum industry, while its own markets are under attack by magnesium and plastics, still anticipates a 12 to 13 per cent increase in demand in 1960. But until actual market re q uirements come more sharply into focus, the pri mary producers, who provide about 70 per cent of new sup plies, are planning only a six per cent increase over 1959 production. To Increase Output The rest of the increased demand will be made up in part by the secondary pro ducers, who make aluminum from scrap. According to American Metals Market, they plan to increase output by about 15 per cent. Imports of crude aluminum, which dropped some six per cent last year, to about 240 000 tons, are expected to show a 16 per cent increase this year. This increase, how ever, may be largely offset by increased exports from the United States. According to . American Metal Market, the best esti mates of total available alum inum supply from all three sources range, around 2,880,- 000 tons this year, as against 2,650,000 tons in 1959. AEG Nominee Questions Tests Washington-OJPD - Robert E. Wilson, Chicago, nominated to be a member of the Atomic Energy commission, says he "seriously questions" wheth er the United States should ever test another nuclear de vice. Wilson, former board chair man of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, made, the state ment Tuesday shortly before Senate members of the Con-1 gressional Atomic Energy commttee voted unanimously to recommend confirmation of his appointment. He said he would want to "look at very carefully" any proposals to add even up to 20 per cent more fallout to that already in the atmos phere from previous tests. NOW SHOWING TOPS IN ENTERTAINMENT!
