sal to meet with Soviet Pre

ence. . . i, .

Proposed Contract
Referred To Group
. 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.

long to a reorganized district
will send their tuition fund
share to that district.

reorganization law. Reorgan
ization action is pending in

Obvious Move To

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

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."

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 Hope
Of Neutral Backing
Receives Setback
United Nations, N.Y (UPI) India'
Jaw&harlal Nehru, leader of the powerful neutral
nations, today rejected Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev's demand for reorganization of the
United Nations.
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. .-' -.. .,

Seven Railroad
Cars Derailed
Seven railroad cars were
derailed Sunday about 10:30
a.m. between 11th and 8th
sts. in the southern Pacific
switching yard, west of the
main tracks.
According to George Joyce,
district train master with
headquarters at Medford, six
of the cars were re-railed Sun
day afternoon with the sev
enth boxcar expected to be
back on the tracks early this
afternoon. Fifty-ton air jacks
were brought in from Ashland
to assist in the work, Joyce
said. The loaded car, weigh
ing 50 tons, is filled with in
dustrial powdered glue for the
plywood Industry, he stated.
Joyce said that i cars,
loaded with glue, canned
goods and miscellaneous
items, were being backed by
a yard switcher when they
hit a split switch, derailing
them. '
No damage was reported to
the cars or their contents but
about 300 feet of track was
considerably damaged, Joyce
explained. The track is ex
pected to be repaired by 4
o'clock today. The train was
traveling about 5 miles per
hour at the time of the Inci
dent. '
preme Court by Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton
and Secretary of State Howell
Appling Jr.
-. 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. .

said there can be no disarma
ment unless ironclad controls
are in effect. 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

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

. 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 '

That threat was delivered
off-the-cuff; ; Today's was de

Assault on Charter ,

Khrushchev made i a sur

his "right of reply" to British)
Prime Minister Harold Mac

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. :

would be powerless because if
persons following the "posi
tion of strength policy", used '
their arms a war with all Us

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
