There are some interesting rumors in the news that just MIGHT turn into facts. rpHIS is the big rumor: A Soviet technicians and advisers are reported to be POURING OUT OF RED CHI NA BY THE TRAINLOAD. This report is carried by the Yugoslav official news service Tanjug, among others. Why the exodus? The Yugoslav reports indi cate that it is the result of worsening relations between Russia and Red China. These "worsening relations" track back to diverging ideologies. The Red Chinese leaders stick to the original Marx-Lenin theory of the INEVITABILI TY of war. The Russians have been doing a lot of talking of late about COEXISTENCE. THAT is to say: Marx and Lenin taught that war between communism and capitalism is inevitable "and that communism will de stroy capitalism by force of arms. The theory of coexist ence is that communism will triumph over capitalism by superior efficiency. That is what Khrushchev is said to have meant when he said in Los Angeles: "We will BURY you." He is alleged to have meant that Russian socialism will eventually bury Ameri can capitalism under social ism's increasing productivity. The Chinese stick to t h e original theory of conquest by war. fETTING back to the ru " more of the Russian EX ODUS from China, the Red Chinese authorities are said on what is described in to day's dispatches as "good au these Russian experts with thority" to have been eyeing suspicion and to have been anxious to see to it that they stuck strictly to their tech nical jobs and kept their noses out of Chinese politics. If it should turn out that Russian technical experts re ally ARE getting out of China, we would have to assume that the Russians are AFRAID of China and have come to the conclusion that the Chinese are DANGEROUS and should be given no more help in the way of technical progress. As to that, we'd better keep our fingers crossed - remem bering that BOTH ARE COM MUNISTS and communists can't be trusted. BUT We can't be blamed for recalling, in the face of these rumors, the ancient proverb: When thieves fall out, honest men come into their own.

Visiting were Sung Yung Kang, 13, who was staying with Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Hinesly, 1032 Murray St., and Ki Soo Kim, 17, hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Shirrel Doty, 46 South Keeneway dr. The youths arrived in Med ford July 6 and travelled with some 75 local Scouts and lead ers to the national Scout Jamboree near Colorado Springs, Colo., leaving here July 12. Before leaving recently, the boys told the Mail Tribune about their families, their schools, about the Korean gov ernment, and their activities at home, locality, and at the Jamboree. The boys were two of 14 scouts selected through exami nation to attend the fifth na tional meet this summer. Se lection was also based on their experience in scouting. Fishing Trips Highlighting their limited stay in the area was a fishing trip for Sung Yung and a wat er skiing adventure for Ki Soo. At Fish lake, Sung Yung did his first lake fishing and 1 caught six trout. Several days ! later a "fish fry" took place I at the Hinesly home. j Ki Soo experienced his first I try at water skiing at the ! Lake of the Woods. t Young Sung Yung is one of seven children, 4 girls and 3 boys. His father is principal of the junior and senior high ' school in his locality. He is ! currently enrolled in the ninth grade. His course of study in cludes English, world history, Korean history and govern ment, music theory, art, and science. As a future career, the Scout is looking towards the Air Force and engineering. Study Medicine Ki Soo intends to go to the university and study medicine after he graduates from the 12th grade this spring. His curriculum includes German, English, chemical and me chanical science; music the ory, world history, and voca tional subjects. He explains that the schools are in session year - round, with one-month vacations in July and Decem ber. Graduation is in early spring. The boys said that the sec ondary schools ire separate, for boys and girls, while the university is co-educational. Students must attend school in Korea until completion of the sixth grade. Ki Soo, who has studied English for some four years, has two sisters. His father is a "merchant," dealing in wholesale merchandise. The teen-agers represent op posite ends of South Korea. Sung Yung lives near Kwang ju, located in the southern por tion of the penninsula, and Ki Soo lives in Chun Chon city, close to the noted 38 parallel. Asked what they enjoyed the most on the Jamboree trip, the duet replied "Meeting other Scouts from all over the world." They also mentioned the visit to Disneyland in sou thern California. At the na tional meet they "swapped" tales with scores of the 56.000 delegates. At home the teen-agers pre fer to "go on picnics" and hike. In scouting, they are known as Mountain Men, First Class, Boy Scouts of America. Each has had three years of Cub Scouting and almost three years of Boy Scouting. It was explained that in South Korea there are about 9 councils, some 20 troops in a council, and about 30 boys in a t r o o p. Generally, there are about 675 Scouts in each Council. Scout activities in Korea are "very similar" to those in the U.S., although, in some cases, more "simple," according to the' representatives. Korean Scouts participate in hikes and camping activities, as well as many civic duties. The boys noted that where they live all go to church, and many of the Scouting activi ties are centered around church functions. Accompanied Koreans Accompanying the Koreans to the Jamboree were local Scouts Terry Hinesly, 14, and David Doty, 13. Terry, a Star Boy Scout, is in the ninth grade at McLoughlin Junior High school; David, an eighth grader at Hedrick Junior high, is a First Class Scout. The local families were able to host them by request to the local Boy Scout council. Shortly before the Jamboree, it was announced that there was a possibility that Oriental Scouts might come to the Med ford area. The two local fami lies applied for the teen-agers. While in the United Slates the boys have witnessed many strange things, according to the local families. A modern bath tub surprised one Scout as well as the first horse rido. Sung Yung had reportedly never seen a freezer, and both of the visitors enjoyed for the first time cantaloupe and green, seedless grapes. The Koreans commented on the number of cars here and the better highways. They added that Americans seemed "friendly." Before leaving they wore guests at a dinner given by the Crater Lake council of the Boy Scouts. They also made several pub lic appearances. Speaking of their native country, they mentioned the current political situation confronting the Korean peo ple. They told of the current Communist threat in South Korea, pressuring for a United Communist Korea. Although the Communists are not too evident, there is a large Communist under ground, according to the boys. Added to this "uneasyness," is an unstable government in South Korea and student dem onstrations. As one of the Ko reans said, it is "so risky." Since Ki Soo lives near the North-South border, he sees considerable violence and Communist aggression. The two said that through radio and newspapers they had heard "all about" the UniteJ States' troubles with Russia. Asked if America was help ing their country, the teen agers said "yes" and added, we "want America to help." Current examples of Ameri can assistance were the hospi tals built by the U.S. Before leaving for home, the Koreans also visited Cra ter lake, and saw their first drive-in movie. They were to leave by boat from San Fran cisco Aug. 13, arriving in Ko rea some 15 days later. They were brought to the U.S. by Army transport. .1.1 Courier Satellite Launch Postponed Cape Canaveral, Fla.-IUPD-Unexplaincd "technical trou bles" Tuesday forced a post ponement of an Air Force at tempt to launch America's third earth satellite within one week. A 500-pound moonlet named Courier I-A remained in the nose of a 79-foot Thor-Ablc- Star today, waiting for a new firing date. The Air Force said the shot would be attempted "as soon as these difficulties have been analyzed and corrected." Courier I-A is a military communications satellite and heavily covered with military secrecy, It is designed to re ceive, record and transmit messages between ground sta tions on earth. Nicknames Out On Oregon Ballot Salem-WPD - Nicknames are out for the Oregon ballot, Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. said Tuesday. The secretary of state cited a legal opinion which declares candidates may be identified on the ballot only by the name under which they are com monly known. The only acceptable name will be the one appearing on the candidate's voter registra tion card. The secretary of state said he was not ruling out a short ened given name if that is the name which the candidate has registered and conducts his normal business, but he will not accept extraneous nick names or change ballot name forms between the primary and general elections. The ruling came from re quests of two candidates who want to use a shorter form of their given name for the November election than they used in the May primary.
