Red China, Cuba Pact Denounced Washington-MPD-The United States today denounced the big new economic pact be tween Communist China and Cuba as "one more indication" of Premier Fidel Castro's drive to tie Cuba to the Com munist bloc.

Directive Mailed To County Assessors Salem fUPH The State Tax Commission late Wednesday mailed a directive to the 36 county assessors in Oregon spelling out to them the law by which fraternal organiza tions will no longer be exempt from the tax rolls.

Antitrust Suit Threat By Houston By NOMAN MILLER Louisville, Ky. - (UPI) - The president of the Houston club in the American association waved an antitrust threat at Commissioner Ford Frick and the National league today if they persisted in their efforts to keep the American league out, of the Houston territory. Angered by the stalemate in the negotiations with the National league group seeking to invade Houston, and by Frick's order Tuesday that the American league stay out of the territory, President W. H. Hopkins of the Houston Buffs sent off a stinging wire Wed nesday to the commissioner and to President Warren Giles of the National league. Hopkins, who owns the Houston territory, insisted that his group is free to nego tiate with the American league in an effort to bring major league baseball to Houston. Any "agreement or under standing" that would restrict the Houston territory exclu sively to the National league would be regarded "as being in restraint of trade," Hop kins informed the baseball leaders. The controversy arose with a report Monday that if the AL could not expand to Los Angeles in 1961, Houston might be considered as an al ternative. The American league gave no official cre dence to this report, however. North Carolina Town Has No Probems Dellview, N.C. This hanv let, incorporated in 1025, has no bonded debt, no taxes, no water bills. Police Chief Tom Delilnger never has made arrest. His wife Ola is town clerk, but she has nothing to do. Dellview never has had any births . or deaths. Its 1960 population was four, a de crease of three from 1950 be cause that many members of the town's two families moved away. Why did Dellview ever bother with incorporation? Tom Dellingcr explains that his late brother David, a member of the State House of Representatives, put up legal barriers against ma rauding stray dogs. New Method To Detect Tornadoes Said Developed San Francisco, (Science Service)-A new way of de tecting and recording torna does and earthquakes by their sound waves has been devel oped at the National Bureau of Standards. These sound waves have about the same intensity as peech. However, they are too low in frequency to be heard nd are called infrasonic waves, the Acoustical Society of America was told here. There are many sources of infrasonic waves, but only a few have been identified so far. To record the waves, four microphones were set up near Washington, producing frequency-modulated voltages from tlie sound pressures re ceived. These voltages were then transmitted by telephone wires to a central location where they were demodu lated, amplified and recorded as ink traces on paper. When a sound wave of enough magnitude is present similar traces are produced on each of the four paper records from the four micro phones. The direction from which the wave is coming as well as its speed are obtained by comparing the different times it hits the four micro' phones. Waves Measured The infrasonic waves from the earthquake in Montana on Aug. 18, 1959, were measured with this microphone system when they hit Washington. Severe tornadoes produce in frasonic waves at Washington even when they are more than 1,000 miles away. In frasonic waves are also gen erated during geomagnetic storms caused by disturbances in the earth's magnetic field. The sound studies at the Bureau of Standards were be gun by the late Dr. Peter Chrzanowski and are being continued by the sound sec tion staff. Contributing to this research have been Drs. Richard K. Cook, J. M. Young, H. L. Marrctt, Gary Greene and K. T. Lemmon. The Bureau is planning to install a sound-recording unit similar to that in Washington near Boulder, Colo. l : . . a LITERATURE WINNERS Winners of two of the most prized awards in French literature, novelists Henri Thomas and Louise Bellocq, autograph copies of their books in Paris Thomas received the "Prix Medicis" for his novel "John Perkins."
