' (Simonson photo) West Supports Ike's Refusal To Meet Nikita Washington - (UPD - Western powers rallied today behind President Eisenhower's refu sal to meet with Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev' be cause of the Russian attitude and threats against the free world. British sources said Prime Minister Harold Macmillan had tdld the President that he fully understood the necessity of rejecting the suggestion of five neutral nations for a Soviet-American summit confer ence. . . i, . Australian Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies Was report ed planning a stiff U.N. speech- Wednesday in which he would deliver . a major Western denunciation of Khrushchev's actions. Get Down to Business Macmillan and Menzies con ferred with Eisenhower at the White House Sunday. The three leaders issued a state ment urging the U.N. General Assembly to get down to its business-particularly with re spect to disarmament. Eisenhower's refusal to meet with Khrushchev was spelled out in a letter he sent separately to the heads of government of Ghana, Indo nesia, United Arab Republic, Yugoslavia and India. Eisenhower's aides said the President hoped the five neu tral leaders would understand the impossibility of such a confrontation at this time. The White House hoped the President's explanation would case pressure at the United Nations for a meeting.

The Jackson county court has referred a proposed con tract between the city of Med ford and Jackson county, cov ering operation of the Willow creek recreation area south east to its parks and recrea tion commission for study and r e c o m m e ndation, County Judge Earl Miller said today. The district attorney's' of fice has approved the con tract's legality. The city of Medford will continue to use the reservoir as a water source, but has found manage ment of the recreation area around the reservoir more than it can handle, it was ex plained. The county court has not accepted it and would only consider it as a long range prospect," Miller explained. Recreational d e v e lopment, operation and maintenance at Howard Prairie and Emigrant reservoirs already imposes a financial strain on the parks n d recreation commission budget,", he added. The proposed contract pro vides for full use of the lands and improvements for recrea tion, purposes for 10 years. The county would be allowed to remove timber on the prop erty as necessary for recrea tional use, for construction of rights of way, camp sites and to .clear all dead and down timber. The county would have to provide fire protec tion, the contract stipulates. Valley and Pinehurst: The six other districts were Elk-Trail-1 and Shady Cove, which have joined with Eagle Point, and the four districts which have joined Medford, Howard, Lone Pine, Ruch and Griffin Creek. Balances are distributed ae cording to a formula based on the assessed valuation of each district as related to the over all valuation of the non-high district of 1957-58, : Special Act ! ! Dissolution of the non-high school district is provided for in a special legislative act and not in the school district re organization act, Mekvold ex plained. The law became effective on July 1,. 1959. Those districts which now be long to a reorganized district will send their tuition fund share to that district. The Jackson county school district reorganization com mittee is now waiting to see what the state legislature will do toward tightening up the reorganization law. The com mittee has received an exten sion of six months, until April 20, "1961, to comply with the reorganization law.

" Obvious Move To Win Votes for Posifisn in UN U.S. 'Imperialists' Said Not Welcome Tokyo-flJPD-Communist Chi na - held out olive branches of peace and friendship for its Asian neighbors today in an obvious maneuver to win votes for a seat in the United Nations. The New China News Agency and Peiping Radio softened their attacks against the United States and even extended an invitation to Americans-except "imperial ists" - to visit Communist China. The toned-down propaganda complemented Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushohevs ef forts at the United Nations to depict Communist China as a great, peace-loving nation de serving of U.N. membership. Burma Treaty Signed Communist Chinese Pre mier Chou En-lai and Chair man (President) Liu Shao-chi set the style change with state ments on the signing Saturday of a . boundary treaty with Burma. They spoke loftily of "peaceful coexistence" among all nations and said Peiping wanted to establish "a boun dary peace and friendship with all neighboring coun tries." Peiping newspapers as with one voice sang the praises of Communist China's "peaceful foreign policy." 'Solid Slap in Face In a comparatively mud poke at the United States, the paper Ta Kung Pao said "im perialists . . . viciously smear ed China as bellicose and seek ing for expansion. The Sino- Burmese treaty now gives them a solid slap m the face Vice Premier, and Foreign Minister Chert Yl extended ah invitation for Americans to visit China, but made it clear Peiping would be picky about which ones it would accept. Speaking at a Peiping re ception for visiting Japanese newsmen, he declared: "The Chiness Communist Party and eovernment welcome more Japanese friends to visit Chi na. We welcome also Ameri can people to visit China, but we absolutely do not welcome U.S. imperialists to China." He added that Japan and China should "unite and strike down our common enemy, U.S. imperialism." . He said Communist China and the United States could not become friends unless the United States "gives up its imperialist p o li c y against China."

Khrushchev's hopes of winning neutralist sup port against Secretary- General Dag Hammar slcjold suffered a major setback when Nehru, fol lowing the Soviet premier in a crisis debate at the General Assembly, defended the one-man secretary-general post which Khrushchev wants to abolish. The Indian prime minister ignored a Khrushchev threat that unless Hammarskjold quits and a throe-msn secretariat is installed the Communist nations "will rely on their own strength." . ' ' ' Nehru, elder statesman of Free Asia and most influential spokesman of neutralism, urged caution in any major changes. "I think we can say that the United Nations has amply justified its existence and prevent crises from developing into war, Nehru said to loud applause. Nehru said the U.N. structure at first was weighed in favor of Europe and the Americas and that the structure is still more unbalanced today. But he warned that any im mediate change would raise heated controversies in the world. .-' -.. ., "Wo llva .In n snllt wirld" I ' ! ' ' reported for work.

Thornton said "I am glad that the Supreme Court has settled the coroner question ior gooa ana ior ail. i , ' "This was ; a' case which arose because of a conflict between two laws passed dur ing the final rush of the 1959 legislature. The - decision of the Supreme Court was neces sary because of the differing conclusions concerning the two laws reached- . by the courts of Lane and Benton counties," he said. The unanimous decision was written by Justice Alfred T. Goodwin and said that the 1959 1 e g 1 s lature abolished coroners except in Multno mah county, as of Jan. 1, 1061. . Terms of coroners in 21 counties expire at that time. On Multnomah Ballot ' The post of coroner will be on the ballot In Multnomah county. The court said It is "appar ent from reading the two statutes in question, that they were intended to bring under a new system of medical ex aminers all of the investiga tions and most of the other functions formerly performed by coroners in counties hav ing less than 400,000 persons, and that it is equally apparent that the Intent was to accom plish these reforms as soon as possible." The decision said that to do otherwise would "frustrate legislative intent." Nehru said. "We have to bear with this and move evei' more forward to the concept of full cooperation between nations. That cooperation must not mean any domination 1 of one country by another ... each country has something to give and to take. .

Khrushchev re stated that view today. . , It is perfectly clear that disarmament without control not feasible and it is equally clear that conrtol without dis armament has no meaning," Nehru said. Khrushchev told the Gen eral Assembly a Communist- style ; three - man presidium must.be. set up to replace. Hammarskjold. He said It this not- done the Communist countries :"wlll rely on their own strength to defend the Interests of peace.' , Khrushchev said s o m a states were putting their own national . interests ahead of, the United, Nations and seek ing tp use the world body to dominate '. other powers. If they persist, he said, the Unit ed Nations "Will collapse. . Speaking deliberately from a prepared text, Khrushchev presented , . sharp ., contrast with Saturday's tirade in which he raised a less-specific threat of walking out on the ' United Nations if Red China is not given membership. ,', That threat was delivered off-the-cuff; ; Today's was de liberate. ,' - ... , , ". Assault on Charter , Hammarskjold listened at tentively but' impassively as Khrushchev stepped up the Communist assault on tha U.N. charter. , -, Khrushchev made i a sur prise appearance to exercise his "right of reply" to British) Prime Minister Harold Mac millan who spoke last week. His prepared text took a calm approach to the situation. "- He said the worlds desire for peace "cannot be substi tuted by control over arma ments without disarmament. ' If our proposals on dis armament are accepted,", ha said, "we are ready to accept any Western proposals on in ternational control , ; .' "Control o v e r. armaments means recognition of the ne cessity to have armaments in the future," he said.' "But it is clear to all that if armaments exist, whether they wish to or not, all those who possess armaments will reach for the holster, will reach for arms at any critical moment. : Position of Strength He said the General Assem bly or the Security Council would be powerless because if persons following the "posi tion of strength policy", used ' their arms a war with all Us destructive c o n s e q u ences would break out before a meeting could be called. Khrushchev said there had been suggestions that he and President Eisenhower be lock ed in a room until they agree on disarmament. "This is naive," he . said. "We may sit together indefi nitely but if there is no desire to come to agreement which is evinced by the President and particulaator those quar ters which back him, no smoke will come from the chimney as is the tradition when a pope is elected .' .
