DAR Told Vote for
Exchange Proposal
Would Be Mistake
Washington -4UPD- A royal
refugee from Communist Rus
sia told the Daughters of the
American Revolution today
that one of their favorite reso
lutions was misguided.
Alexandra Tolstoy, daugh
ter of Czarist count and au
thor Leo Tolstoy, said in the
major morning address at the
89th DAR Continental Con
gress that cultural exchange
programs between Russia and
the United States were desir
able." The wider the door was
opened to the countries behind
the Iron Curtain the better.
Public Library
Underwriters
Seek To Group
Roseburg Claims
Portland - UPt) - Insurance
underwriters affected by last
August's explosion and fire
in Roseburg have filed an
action to bring all injured
parties into the case as well
as to disclaim liability for the
explosion.
Thirty defendants were
named in a complaint filed by
attorneys representing nine
Insurance underwriters in
Great Britain, Brazil and
Switzerland.
Truck Exploded
The underwriters carried
insurance for Pacific Powder
Company of Washington and
Pacific Powder Sales Com.
Other resolutions expected 0f Oregon. A truck owned by
she said In her prepared
speech.
Miss Tolstoy spoke as the
Daughters prepared to vote on
a proposed resolution con
demning the exchange pro
grams as a weapon of Soviet
psychological warfare. The
resolution demands a congres
sional investigation into the
origins and operation of the
program.
The DAR last year passed a
resolution opposing the ex
change programs. But this
year's resolution went further
by demanding a Congressional
investigation.
61 Alarms Reported to
Firemen During March
Service for Books
Because senior citizens (per-
j sons over 65) cannot make it
: to libraries as often as they
might like to, the Public Li-
l brary of Mcdford and Jackson
I county is offering them a free
book mailing service.
Under this program, which
is now under way, a senior
citizen may order his book,
receive it and return it, all
by mail. He may also make
requests telephone or someone
else can make them for him.
Head Librarian Omar Ba
con welcomes all senior cit
izens to make use of the read
ing rooms, books, periodicals
and other materials in the li
brary itself. However, It is
realized that some senior -citizens
find it difficult to make
frequent trips to the library
and the mailing service will
be one further step In pro
viding greater convenience to
them, he sa:i!.
Lists Planned
Under this program, lists of
books will be developed peri
odically and distributed
among senior citizens to fa
cilitate ordering books.
Books will be mailed in In
sulated mailers and will be
provided with a return label
and a stamp to cover return
postage. If books are not re
turned on time, they will
automatically be renewed for
a second time, Bacon pointed
out.
To acquaint senior citizens
with this program, promotion'
al brochures will be develped
distributed to them through
such agencies as the Rogue
Valley Council on Aging, the
Friendly service and church
es. Accompanying each bro
chure will be borrower's card
application.
Books will be sent from
and should be returned to,
the main library in Mcdford,
Bacon pointed out. However,
branch libraries will relay re
quests to the main library if
requested to do so, he added.
to be voted on today oppose
reciprocal trade programs,
any liberalization of U. S. Im
migration laws, teen-age vot
ing, and the flying of the
Panamanian flag in the Pan
ama Canal Zone.
Miss Tolstoy also told the
DAR that Soviet Premier Nik
ita S. Khrushchev was "bluff
ing" the West by talking peace
and disarmament.
Would Start War
She said if Khrushchev felt
he could win a war ha would
start it tomorrow.
Miss Tolstoy, who re
nounced her title when she
became an American citizen
in 1041, said one of the things
restraining Khrushchev was
what she called his fear of his
own people, "who might re
fuse to fight and will turn
against the Kremlin."
Another item on today's
agenda was the proposed $1
hike in the national DAR dues
bringing the total annual as
sessment to $3. Some delgates
have been grumbling private
ly in the hallways about the
proposed boost. But no formal
protests were expected.

Wall Street
Chatter
New York - (DPI) - The In
creasing dependence on for
eign markets for the drug
manufacturers deserves con
siderable attention from the
investor, according to an ap
praisal of the situation by
Standard & Poor s.
On the one hand, it points
out, overseas demand for
drugs appears almost unlimit
ed as world population rises
and the standard of living im
proves. However, the risk of
devaluation, exproprlat Ions
and other uncertainties must
be taken fully Into account.
S&P says.
As a result of continued un
certainties abroad and the
likelihood of increased com
petition from foreign sources,
Standard suggests that the in
dustry's foreign earnings
should be evaluated for in
vestment purposes on a more
conservative basis than do
mestic profits.
It appears reasonable there
fore, to expect that price-earn
ings ratios for drug companies
receiving a major share of in
come from abroad will tend
to be lower than those receiv
ing most of their income do
mestically, the statistical agen
cy maintains.
the powder firm exploded in
Roseburg during a warehouse
fire, touching off the disas
trous blast which claimed 13
lives and resulted in some $10
million in property damage
Attorneys for the powder
companies and for George Ru
therford, the truck driver, ad
mit no liability for any of the
claims filed by the defend
ants. However, they have de
posited $515,000 as evidence
of good faith in event of a
judgement adverse to them.
To Limit Liability
If there is an adverse judg
ment the underwriters seek to
limit the liability to $500,000,
the amount of insurance car
ried by the powder com
panies. They also seek to limit
court costs to $25,000.
The federal complaint also
requests that the defendants
be required to interplead
among themselves in event of
a judgement favorable to
them and that the court deter
mine the distribution of the
$900,000.
The Medford fire depart
ment responded to 61 alarms
during March, Including the
Faber Farm Supply fire, and
the rural fire district respond
ed to seven alarms.
According to Fire Chief
Gordon Barker's monthly re
port, the largest number of
alarms responded to in the
city were for dwelling fires.
Of the 17 dewelling fire
alarms turned in, the major
ity, 13, were caused by flue
fires.

Mrs. Neuberger
Sees Steps (or
Seashore Par!;s
Washington -IUPII- A report
of Interior Secretary Fred
Seaton to the Senate Interior
committee specifying three
national seashore areas was
described today by Mrs. Mau-
rine Neuberger as "a positive
step which improves hopes
for early action" on pending
bills to include coastal areas
in the National Park system.
Revised Version
Seaton sent to Interior
Committee Chairman James
Murray a revised version of a
bill advocated by the late
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) naming Cape Cod in
Massachusetts, Padres island
in Texas and the Oregon
Dunes in the Florence-Reeds-port
area as national sea
shores. "The new Interior depart
ment proposal spells out the
special provisions needed for
each of these new park devel
opments," Mrs. Neuberger
said. "It contains salient fea
tures suggested by Gov. Mark
Hatfield and the Oregon Na
tural Resources committee in
cluding specific boundaries
which leave out Tahkenitch
lake and the Sea Lion Caves,"
she added. ?
Support Hoped
Mrs. Neuberger, a candi
date for her late husband's
Senate seat, said she hoped
the new version would gain
the support of the Oregon
state administration.
"Secretary Seaton has made
constructive changes and with
a united effort Oregon can
obtain its first national park
since 1906," she said.
Margaret Truman
To Continue Career
London-flJPII-Margaret Tru
man may resume her singing
career although it leaves her
children cold.
Ex-President Truman's 36-
year-old daughter, beginning
a European trip with her hus
band, Clifton Daniel, was
asked by newsmen Tuesday
night if marriage meant the
end of her professional sing
ing.
"No, definitely not," said
Miss Truman. "If I could find
a theater in America which
would enable me to get home
and look after our children,
I'd take it on.
"I must confess my singing
doesn't even impress my chil
dren. All they want to hear is
'Pop Goes the Weasel' and
'Yankee Doodle Dandy'."
The largest single fire dur-
ing March was the Faber
Farm Supply fire at 11th and
Fir sts. According to the re
port, the dollar loss from this
fire ranges from $150,000 to
$400,000. Apparent cause of
the this fire was an electrical
defect in a chick brooder
stove, the report said.
City fire-fighting apparatus
spent 41 hours, 2 minutes on
alarms.
Two of the seven rural fire
district alarms , were mutual
aid responses to the Central
Point fire department. Two
others were grass fires and
there was one dwelling fire.
The city department re
ceived one false alarm and
the rural none.
Rural apparatus was out a
total of 6 hours, 8 minutes on
alarms.
A total of 68 Inspections
