SUNDAY. JUNE 26. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OBE. MILL'S REMAINS What's left of the Brown Brothers Lumber company mill is shown following a fire at the Williams mill Thursday night. Although a small mill, it supported about half of the population of the lumbering town. The firm had employed about 75 people and had been cutting some UWilTf 70,000 board feet per day. The night watch man for the buildings about 20 miles south east of Grants Pass said he noticed a small curl of smoke from the base of a conveyor in the main building; flames were leaping towards the roof by the time he got there.

The project, disowned by the state department and U.S. Information agency, has brought angry blasts from Cuban Premier Fidel Castro who charged it is a state de partment anti Castro propa ganda outlet. The U.S. Information agen cy until very recently was planning almost the same project to fill what the gov- j ernment feels is an urgent neea 10 gel siraigm news vo Cuba. Most Cuban radio sta tions are now government- controlled. But the agency said it abandoned the idea because of "interference and licens ing" problems. The station is operated by a private American group, the Gibraltar Steamship Corp. of New York City, which owns no ships. It set up shop last month on two-mile-long Swan island, 97 miles from the coast of Honduras and 300 miles southwest of Cuba. It began making medium wave test broadcasts and al most immediately Cuba be gan blasting what it called a "U.S. Government counter revolutionary" station on the island. On June 1 a state depart ment spokesman told a press conference "the only station that I know anything about on Swan island is a U.S. Wea ther Bureau station." Horton H. Heath, commer cial manager of the New York firm, told UPI the 50 kilowatt, medium-wave "Radio Swan" began regular broadcasts more than a w e e k ago be tween the hours of 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. He said they include music, soap operas and news, in both English and Spanish, and that the station reaches 15 coun tries in the Caribbean, Cen tral America and on the nor thern fringes of South America. "It is strictly a commercial venture," he said, "and just a coincidence that it is what US1A had thought of. We plan to get advertisers. We haven't got any yet but are negotiating." Heath said Gibraltar gets its news from ordinary U.S. news services and "Castro seems to think that's 'propa ganda'." Walter G. Lohr of Balti more, a stockholder, said the president of Gibraltar is Thomas Dudley Cabot of Wes ton, Mass., a director of the John Hancock Mutual Insur ance company, banker and former president of United Fruit company. Another stockholder is Sumner Smith of Boston whose family says It owns Swan island and leases it to Gibraltar. The project threatened to reopen an old fight between the U.S. Government and Honduras over who owns the Great and nearby Little Swan islands. The state department said they are U.S. territories by virtue of continuous U.S. possession since their discov ery by American guano trad esmen in 1857. Honduras says it owns them by virtue of Spanish discov ery in the 16th century. Recently when a U.S. cen sus ship went there to count the inhabitants - some two dozen natives and a handful of U.S. weathermen - Hon duran students threatened to launch a boat expedition to. reclaim the islands. The Federal Communica tions commission says it does not license Radio Swan be cause "we don't know who owns that island." The Hon duran ambassador to the United States has indicated Honduras might claim licens ing authority. In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: The U.S. senate ratified the U.S. Japenese security treaty by an overwhelming vote. There were 90 votes for ratification and two against. Only a two-thirds vote is re quired for a treaty. The sen ate has 100 members-two sen ators from each state, and we now have 50 states. With U.S. senate approval, all that is left to bring the 10 year pact into force is the formal exchange of ratifica tion documents. Japan's rati fication become effective last Sunday. FROM Tokyo: Formal signing and ex change of articles of ratifica tion (necessary to bring the mutual defense treaty into full force and effect) were completed by U.S. Ambassa dor Douglas MacArthur II and Japanese Foreign Minis ter Aiichiro. Minutes afterward, Japa nese Prime Minister Mobu suke Kishi announced that he will resign. A general election to choose a new Japanese par liament (the new parliment will name a new prime min ister) is expected in the fall of this year. Dispatches In dicate that even most Japa nese Socialists admit there is only a very slim likelihood of their shaking the CON SERVATIVES' control of the parliament at any time in the foreseeable future. MORE from Tokyo: Angry but DISPIRITED leftist demonstrators wound up their 18th and probably last massive effort to block the new U.S.-Japan security pact. The leftists had boasted that 100,000 would partici pate in the demonstrations, but only 40,000 showed up for a round of snake dancing around the parliament build ing, the foreign ministry and the Tokyo police headquar ters. But It seemed aparent by sundown that the demonstra tion was fizzling and losing steam. The throng began wearily dispersing. w HAT of the future? able to believe that the Japa nese are realistic enough to recognize that their BIG DANGER lies In communist China. If communist China should move In on JAPAN ALONE there would soon be no more Japan. That Is to say: They are going to NEED US even more than we are going to NEED THEM. i NYWAY We'll tee what we'll tee. U t Jt 1 1 if M a S m Jndepcndentlti Owned V-KSei. .
