o o & MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1 961 enewiviovesA I 'IT. jjf i&'jr Foreign Affairs Expert Expected To Initiate Move By PETER CRAIGMOE Tokyo- IITH -Red China is expected to dispatch one of its top foreign affairs experts to Japan before spring to strike another blow against Japan's military and political ties with the West. Peiping has made no secret of the fact that its major policy aim in Asia is to alien ate Japan, both diplomatical ly and economically, from the West, particularly the United States. The Chinese Reds struck their first major blow short ly after the signing of a Japanese-American Security Al liance last year. Liu Ning-Yi, a leading foreign affairs ex pert, was sent by Peiping to attend an anli-nuclear rally and 10th anniversary celebra tion of Japan's left-wing So hyo Labor Union last August. He was abl to use the visit to stir u dissatisfaction among Japanese workers. Expected in March The next move is expected by spring, perhaps in March, during a scheduled "peace march" from the northern island of Hokkaido to Tokyo. Political observers here be lieve it will come in the form of a visit by Liao Cheng-Chih, Red China's "unofficial am bassador" to Japan. Liao, Tokyo-born and edu cated, recently journeyed to Moscow where he aided Com munist China's president, Liu Shao-Chi, in standing off the peaceful co-cxistence assaults of pro-Khrushchev factions at the 81 -nation "Communist Summit meet" in the Soviet capital. His mission to Tokyo, ex perts here agree, will be to woo Japan's big businessmen away from the West by offer ing concrete trade proposals: for example, the export of Chinese coal and iron ore in exchange for heavy machin ery which the Communists need. Drive Being Prepared The Chinese Reds would thus be devoting equal effort to winning friends among Ja pan's workers and business leaders. This two - pronged drive is already ..being pre pared by Peiping radio broad casts which tell Japanese the United States is getting ready to "betray" Japanese business men and workers alike with its growing "Buy America" campaigns. Japan stands to lose some Silo million annually in U.S. purchases as a result of the "save-the-dollar" drive, trade sources here calculate. Technically, Liao will be re paying a visit to Red China J. 4 Am COLD BEAK - lweaking his king-sued nose, comedian Jimmy Durante registers a woeful expression In the grip of bitter cold that invaded New York City last week. A mass of Arctic air dragged the temperature below zero and estab lished a new low for the year. (UPI Velephoto) HEADS JEWISH APPEAL Miami Beach, Fla. -lUPIl-The 1.061 United Jewish Appeal has elected a new general chairman and launched a drive for S72.7 million to aid Jews in other lands. The or ganization named Joseph May erhoff of Baltimore as general chairman to succeed Philip M. Klutznick, Park Forest, 111. The goal of S72. 740,000 is for the aid of F80.000 Jews in Israel and other foreign countries. 9 a! by Talsunosuke Takasnki of j Japan's ruling Libcral-Dcnio-1 cratic parly. A firm believer in Sino-Japancse trade, Tnka-j saki called on Premier Chnu en-Lai last November to j pledge to work for restora tion of trade with the main land. Believed Opening Students of the Communist regime believe this was the "'opening' for which Peiping was looking. Liao's influence as a policy maker rivals, in many ways, even that of Foreign Minister ' Chen Yi, competent observers of Red Chinese affairs here generally agree. Liao is con sidered next to Premier Chou himself when it comes to lay ing down the line in dealing with the West. Thus, the importance of his visit here can be properly evaluated. Already it has been reported in some segments of the Japanese press that "business and political circles are looking forward" to Liao's arrival. In the capitals of other Asian nations-neutral as well as pro-Wcstern-thc treatment Liao receives and what he accomplishes will be viewed with as much intense interest as that which Washington can be expected to observe toward this top Communist planner and policy maker's trip. In House Fire Los Angelcs-IUPII-Four chil dren aged from 4 months to 4 years lost their lives Mon day when fire broke out in their one - room apartment! while their mother was tak ing her other two children to school. j Mrs. Anna Marie Morales,! 26. said she had a premonition of tragedy and returned di rectly home instead of going to market on the way back as planned. "I felt something was wrong," she said. "I rushed back . . . and found my babies dead." She sobbed hysterically when firemen brought out the bodies of Glenn Morales, I, Annette, 2, Gay, 4 months, and a stepsister, Beatrice, 4. Usually Mrs. Morales took the four children along in the auto when she drove Sammy, 7, and Teresc, 6, to a nearby school, she said. "This morning we were late and the school bell was ringing," she said. "So I lock ed the door and let the little ones sleep." Firemen said faulty electri cal wiring probably caused the blaze. Texas Receives Heavy Snowfall By United Press International Stagnant moist air that bot tled up over the Gulf of Mexico drenched the Deep South today and pelted Texas with rain and slush. Snow up to four feet deep covered west Texas and meas ured a foot in the Panhandle with prospects of more to come. Rain fell along the Texas coast from the Rio Grande to Louisiana. The Weather Bureau said an organized sys tem drifting north from the Gulf today would blanket northern Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee and the Carolinas and spread into the mid-Atlantic states by nightfall. In New York and New Eng land, snow forecasts remain ed in effect as mild 40-degrce temperatures at New York City began turning last week end's 17.4 inches of snow into mountains of slush. New York City officials toted up snow removal costs so far this season at S20 mil lion. Last week end's snow alone cost S6 million for re moval, about $2 million more than the average bill for an entire New York City winter. Try and Stop -By BENNETT CERF- Average Factory Work Week Down Washinglon-IUPH-The length of the average factory work week fell to a post-war low of 38.5 hours in January. Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg said Monday that this represented an "abnormal decline" of 18 minutes from the December figure of 38.8 hours and indicated the "grav ity" of the business slump. The work week is consid ered a key indicator of the health of the economy. It fell to 38.7 hours during the 195'8 recession, the lowest pre vious level since the end of World War II. A figure below 40 reflects widespread cutbacks in over time and shorter hours for mil lions of workers.
