MILL'S REMAINS What's left of the
Brown Brothers Lumber company mill is
shown following a fire at the Williams mill

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.

American-Owned Station Broadcasts News to Cuba
Washington - (UPB - A pow
erful, American-owned radio
station is broadcasting news to
Cuba from a tiny island of
disputed sovereignty in the
Caribbean, it was learned
Saturday.
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.
