(UPI Telephoto) Red China Says AirViolated Tokyo - (UPD - Communist China today claimed its air space had been violated re peatedly by American "U2 type" aircraft and declared the United States must "suffer crushing defeat." The Communist New China News Agency said American U2 type planes had been known to penetrate as deeply as 450 miles over the China mainland and at one time passed the Communist-ruled Hsisha islands at a height of less than 1,000 feet so that island dwellers could not spot them "with their naked eyes." The official Peiping Peo ple's Daily, commenting on these and other alleged viola tions by U.S. aircraft and warships, said nothing more "barbarous can be found in the history of international relations." The paper noted that the Peiping regime Thursday had delivered its "100th serious warning" to the United States and promised the Chinese peo ple would not rest until "all accounts are settled." "If the United States does not suffer crushing defeat, it will never give up its ambi tion to dominate the globe and enslave the people of the world," the paper said.

Cairo-IUPD-Poland is help ing Egypt in its attempt to save the Nubian monuments from the rising waters of As wan high dam. A Polish center for Medi terranean archeology has been established here by War saw University. Professor Kazimierz Mich alowsky, member of the Pol ish Academy of Sciences, heads a staff of eight arche ologists and egyptologists. two architects, one anthopologist, one numismatis and one pho tographer. Professor Michalowsky said he is cooperating with the U.A.R. government in the project to save the Nubian monuments. Possibilities Studied We are sending our mis sion at the end of July to the Temple of Dabod in Nubia," he said. "This temple is the first to be dismantled and transported to another site, for otherwise it would be un der water next year. "Two years ago I headed a Polish archeological mission to Nubia to study the possi bilities of saving the Nubian monuments. On the basis of our recommendations, the U.A.R. government decided to launch the program on an international scale." The establishment of the Polish institute in Cairo cli maxed work by Polish spe cialists in the Mediterranean area. This work has been go ing on since before World War II. The new Polish center, sit uated at Heliopolis, a suburb of Cairo, was inaugurated by Dr. Sarwat Okasha, minister of culture and national guid ance for the Egyptian region. The center specializes in ancient Egyptian and Greco- fr-vf? i Roman archeology. Apart from Nubia, the institute is doing archeological work at the valley of the Kings southern Egypt, Tel Athrib in northern Egypt, Palmyra in Syria, and Alexandria. In Alexandria the research teams are concentrating on the topography of the city dur ing the Ptolemaic period which ended with the death of Anthony and Cleopatra. May Find Old Walls The Alexandria excavations were instigated because of a tip from Greek waiter Stellio Coumoutsos, who was search ing the tomb of Alexander the Great. "Even if the excavators don't find the tomb," Michal owsky said, "they may find some old walls. That would be very important for us, for we are looking for any clues on the urban features of the Ptolemaic period." Michalowsky believes Al exander's tomb was robbed during the reign of Roman Emperor Caracalla, about the end of the second century A.D. "We know that the orig inal Alexandria, built by Al exandria the Great, was de stroyed and rebuilt by the Ro mans. We would like to know about the original Alexandria, then we might be able to trace Alexander's tomb." Michalowsky said he was leaving for Palmyra, Syria the palm tree city of Queen Zenobia, who fought the Ro mans in the third century A.D. "We are digging in the western quarter of Paymyra, some 250 miles from Damas cus. The city lies in a desert oasis and is one of the im portant archeological sites in the Mediterranean area. "We are looking for the tetrapylon (four-gate monu ment) at the crossing of four roads. If we find it, it would be a very big thing-very im portant from the architecture viewpoint. It is a special fea ture of Roman architecture all four roads leading up to the four gates." appreciation and merit.

Salem - IUPU - Oregon's un official 1960 population is 1,755,590. That compares to 1,521,341 in 1950. Two-in-one Pattern are expected to traverse the highways of our nation. At some time, most of these will travel on the growing num ber of limited-access turn pikes, such as the New York State Thruway. Statistics show that these high-speed highways are sub stantially safer in terms of total number of accidents and total number of fatalities than are the older, free - access roads. There is one unhappy fact which the statistics concern ing the turnpikes consistently bring out: Accidents on turn pikes are more often fatal than accidents on other roads. Therefore, while the total number of accidents is less and the total number of fa talities is less, it becomes ob vious that because of the high percentage of fatalities, we must reduce the causes of ac cidents to a minimum. Safe System of 'Roads Federal, state and county highway departments have built and are building the safest system of roads in the world. But governmental authority cannot produce safe i uiivi-ia, j.ina is ugj iu catii in dividual. An alert driver in sound car is the greatest safe ty factor on the road today. You can make sure that you and your family do not be come an accident statistic this summer by taKing a few simple tips. Keeping in mind that in New York State 41 per cent of the cars subject to state inspection in 1959 failed to pass on their first examina tion, let's begin with gettnig your car in condition to trans port you safely. -Battery and electrical system should be checked. All lights should be operating cor rectly, especially rear and in dicator lights, and most im portant, headlights, which should be properly aimed. -Wheel alignment, tire bal ance, inflation and condition. including the spare, should be checked. Any stones or nails stuck in the tire treads should be removed. A blow out at high speed almost, al ways causes extensive in juries. Well-Serviced Motor -The motor should be thoroughly serviced, includ ing a check of oil level and condition, and extremely im portant but often overlooked, a thorough servicing of the cooling system. The cooling system must be completely clean and operat ing at maximum efficiency in order to remove the great quantity of heat created by the engine in high-speed driv ing. The system should be completely drained of winter worn anti-freeze, thoroughly flushed and then filled with fresh water. It is important to add a rust and corrosion inhibitor to the cooling system. The sys tem should then be thorough ly checked for leaks. The condition and tightness of all hoses and gaskets, as well as the condition of the thermo and shock absorbers, as well stat and pressure cap also should be checked. -The steering mechanism as minor items such as wind shield wipers and blades, should be checked and serv iced where indicated. Remember that stalled cars in traffic lanes, especially at night, are either invisible, or even if lighted, are very diffi cult to tell from moving ca at 60 miles an hour. This is one of the chief causes of fatal rear end collisions. A properly maintained car is your best protection against this fate. You should start out on any long distance drive with a clear mind. It might also be a good idea, not only from a safety point of view, but also to make sure you enjoy your vacation without interruption, to see your doctor and dentist before you leave. That way you will reduce the possibili ty of suffering any physical inconvenience while away from home. If you normally take medi cation, ask your doctor whether the medication has any side effects which may impair your driving efficiency. Many people have driven cars for years without ever using the new high - speed turnpikes. Drivers who have had experience on these roads will tell you that they require a basic adjustment in your driving habits. Expreuway Tips Here are some tips drawn from our experience with thruway and expressway driv ing in New York. -Assume a position most comfortable for you, and ad just nil mirrors for maximum visibility from this position. - Slop at intervals, making sure to signal first, and pull completely off the road to avoid the build-up of fatigue from continuously maintain ing one position. -If you are alone in the car, play the radio to keep from becoming "hypnotized" by the road. Never try to push yourself beyond your ability to stay completely alert and awake. At the first sign of drowsiness, pull completely off the road for a nap. Never stare fiNedly at the rood ahead, but swing eyes around from side to side. -Make sure to use direc tional signals whenever changing lanes. Allow ample room between your car and the car in front of you. Get out of the way of another car which is riding too close to your rear.
