MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. MONDAY. AUGUST 22, 1980 MONKEY COLONY An architect's sketch of the outdoor monkey colony to be con structed at Oregon Primate Research Center near Aloha in Washington county was ap proved recently by the Medical Research Foundation of Oregon. The Foundation is one of the 30 agencies assisted in its support through gifts made to the United Medford Crusade. The Research Center, expected to cost nearly two million dollars, was made possible through a grant received in May from the National Institutes of Health. The monkey colony, to cost about $250,000, will accommodate nearly 200 mulatla macaque monkeys. By constructing the colony build ing first it would make possible the acquisi tion and conditioning of the necessary mu latla macaque monkeys in sufficient time to have an adequate supply ready for . the opening of the research laboratories sched uled for late 1961.

Qinuncs Katanga Mining Community Empty Husk Following Congo Disturbance Editor's note: United Press In ternational reporter Itay Moloney has logged thousands of miles since the beginning of June to cover the crises arising from Congo Inde pendence. In the following dispatch, he describes what Independence meant to one of the Congo's richest mining centers. By RAY MOLONEY Jadotville, Katanga -IUPD-Jadotville, once a thriving mining center, is an empty husk today. True, the giant chimney of the Union Miniere Copper Refining plant still belches out its constant - stream of smoke. But in the town the majority of the shops are closed. Not only are they closed they are empty. Their shat- Proposed Projects For State Highway Commission Told Salem - IUPII - Realignment of the South Santiam High way around a 10 mile slide area between Upper Soda and Tombstone Summit should be the next project undertaken on U.S. Highway 20, the State Highway commission has been told. A delegation of some 20 members from localities rang ing from Newport to Sweet Home were present as the as sociation's list of suggested priorities was presented. Roy Eames, Sweet Home city manager, presented the proposal for a completely new road to replace the section which is now subject to slides. He pointed out! that the limber cut in the area serv ed by the road is over 150 mil lion board feet a year and that travel over the slide area costs truckers more than $9, 000 a mile additional yearly than other parts of the high way. Bridge on Priority List Second in priority projects sought by the group is a new bridge over Wiley Creek be tween Sweet Home and Foster. Need for this span will be made more acute because of the forthcoming construction of Green Peter dam, Eames said. Sen. Andrew Natcrlin (D- Newport) told the commis sion the third priority proj ect of the Highway 20 group was reconstruction of the highway at the Coast Range summit at Little Elk Mountain. At present the length of a load carried over this section of the route is limited to 50 feet, Naterlin said. Longer Roads Needed There will be a need to al low longer roads when the projected development of Ya- quine bay is completed and deep water ships serve the port, he explained. Considerable lumber will be moved from valley ports to the Yaquina bay area, Na tcrlin said. The commission also heard William Tugman, Reedsport, speak for the programming of the final five mile section of Highway 225 which will link Roseburg with the coast. In Present Plan Highway Commission Chairman Milo Mclvcr said the project is included in the present five year highway plan and may be begun next year. Harry Gives Jack All-Out Support Independence, Mo. - lliPD -Former President Harry S. Truman greeted Sen. John F. Kennedy like a long-lost son Saturday and vowed nil out support in the presidential campaign Truman once tried to keep Kennedy out of. The 76-year-old former chief executive didn't take back any of the things he said about Kennedy July 2 at the Truman library when he said t h e Democratic convention had been "fixed" for Kenne dy and suggested Kennedy was loo young to be president. But joining the 43-year-old nominee on the same plat form w here he had made those statements, Truman told a news conference that the Democratic national con vention had nominated Ken nedy and that was good enough for him. "It's the law of the Demo cratic party, and I'm a Demo crat," Truman said. "I follow their law." In a session marked by much smiling and laughter by Kennedy and Trumnn, and a number of quips by the for mer president, Truman was asked point blank if he still felt the convention had been "fixed" by Kennedy backers. "I did not say that," Tru man replied. "I said it looked to me as if the convention was already made up the way it was supposed to go, and that is what the trouble was. And it was, and it has been done all right, and they nominated this man, and I am going to support him. What are you going to do about that," Another forthcoming proj ect will be extension of the west side bypass of Klamath Falls across the Link River bridge, a delegation from Klamath Falls who had ask ed for the project was told. Members of the commis sion also sent to Gov. Mark Hatfield a $191 budget for the 1961-63 biennium. The gov ernor will include it in his stale budget which will be sent to the legislature. tered windows and the smoke - seared wreckage of many give eloquent testimony of the days of madness that gripped the Congolese popu lation. It was a madness that sent them surging out of their shantytown homes in 'an orgy of looting and violence. May Be New Exodus It was a madness that sent the European population streaming to safety-some to Elisabethville, 60 miles away, and some to Rhodesia. Today less than one-fifth of the normal European pop ulation of Jadotville has re turned. Now the ground is being laid for what may be a new exodus. A new factor has been add-ed-the United Nations.. Last week the U.N. "pres ence" lay in the hands of 24 Swedes under the command of Lt. Rune Perman of Oes tersund. Situation Looked Ugly Ninety Moroccan troops came in later, but took no im mediate part in the U.N. pa trols that roam through the tense, hate - ridden African quarter of the city. The situation looked ugly at one point. The victims of the week end killings were being bur ied and the Belgian officers of the local gendarmerie openly predicted trouble. The main square of the Ki kula African Commune was ringed by an uneasy crowd of Congolese. Outside the po lice station strong reinforce ments of heavily armed Con golese gendarmerie and po lice under their European of ficers were standing by. Prepare for Trouble Suddenly from down the dusty road came the muted roar of voices. While the Bel gian officers looked on, Lt. Perman quietly called four of his men-none of them older than about 22-logether, told them to fix bayonets on their automatic weapons and marched them off to the road to be ready for any trouble. As the tiny group of five marched across the square they gave an impression of dignified power - infinitely more imposing than the jeeps the Sten guns and the tear gas, the bayonets and the ba tons of the assembled gen darmerie and police. There was no trouble. Ex-Cuban Leader Sees Castro's Fall Los Angeles-IUPII-The fall of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro and his government within six months was predicted Sat urday by a former prime min ister of the island republic. Dr. Manuel Antonio de Va rona, here to rally support for his revolutionary democratic front, said that the days of Castro's rule are numbered. "The people realize that Castro's premises are all lies." he said. "Each day we gain more and more support from Cubans on the island and those that have fled to other American nations." He said that even Castro'i troops who fought with him on the Cuban hillsides for six; years are now deserting him.
