Medford Tribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, MARCH 13, 1961 PAGES 1 to 8 Hungary and TibetCold Items, May be Postponed in By DONALD JOHNSTON United Nations -VPD- Are two of the West's trump cards -Hungary and Tibet - getting lost in the agenda shuffle now going on at the United Na tions? , These two items, already obscured by the passage of time, are scheduled for dis cussion during the current 15th General Assembly, but they are among the "cold war" issues which the United States has suggested be de ferred until next autumn's session. The Russians would like the United Nations to defer the items permanently. They would like the world to for get the charges of Communist armed aggression in Hungary and Tibet. For this reason, the Soviets have put out feelers for a pos sible "horse trade" with the Western powers. They have offered to drop efforts to get the United Nations to con demn the "aggressive" U2 and RB47 plane incidents if the United States and its allies Freight Line Drivers Receive Safety Awards Thirty Medford and Grants Pass drivers of Pierce Freight Lines received American Trucking Association safety awards at a company-sponsored dinner in Medford Sunday. Three of the top drivers in the Pierce system were sing led out for special recognition at the local dinner. John Clark, Medford, has recorded 25 years of trucking without so much as a cracked mirror or a scratched fender. He is tied with a California driver for the best safety record in the Pierce system. Two other men are close behind, how ever. They are Arthur R. Davis, 24 years, and Sam Steele, 23 years, both Med ford, without accidents. Gold pins went to drivers with 10 or more years of accident-free driving and silver pins were awarded to those with less than a decade of per fect driving. Awards were pre sented by Ed Smith, Pierce general manager. Manager of the Medford terminal is Clyde Knight. Other drivers receiving awards were Mason Adair, Charles Cook, Robert Cosier, Medford, and Jack Cluster, Rufus Younger, Grants Pass, 13 years; Robert Gutherie, Harold Hyde, Medford and J. W.

Kaiser Industries Earnings Decline Oakland - IUPD - Net earn ings of Kaiser Industries Corp. dropped from $15,740, 000 to $6,523,000 during 1960, the company reported Sunday. Earnings per snare oi com mon stock dropped from 61 cents in 1959 to 21 cents in 1960. The decline reflected heavy losses in the engineering and construction business of Hen ry J. Kaiser Co., a wholly own ed subsidiary, and lower prof its for Willys Motors Inc. also a wholly owned subsidi ary. win withdraw "cold war items - meaning Hungary and Tibet. U. S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson has made it clear the United States will not make any deal to delete some items in exchange for others. But to avert "acrimonious debate" at this time, Steven son said, his delegation sug gests that the assembly deal only with "housekeeping" items and the Congo during this spring session and post pone "cold war" issues until the 16th assembly next September. "We think a period of rela tive quiet would contribute to a better international climate for serious negotiation on such vital subjects as disarma ment," Stevenson said. A U. S. spokesman empha sized that the United States does not want the Hungary and Tibet items scratched from the agenda, but merely put off for the time being. He implied that the Kennedy ad ministration would like more time to formulate its policies on vital international issues. "Our basic position on Hun gary and Tibet has not chang ed," he said. The Hungary question has had ample airing in the Unit ed Nations since the Budapest uprising in 1956, but the Rus sians and the Hungarian Red regime have thwarted any concrete U.N. action. Crushed at Request The Communists insist that the crushing of the rebellion by Soviet troops was at the request of the Hungarian gov ernment, and that the whole matter is an internal affair outside U. N. jurisdiction. The Reds maintain a similar posi tion on the Communist Chi nese conquest of Tibet. The General Assembly first took action on the Hungary question on Nov. 4, 1956. In i resolution, the assembly 'condemned the use of Soviet military forces to suppress the efforts of the Hungarian peo ple to re-establish their rights, and called upon the govern ment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to desist forthwith from all armed at tack on the peoples of Hun gary, and from any form of intervention." Commitiet Appointed When Russia failed to com ply with the resolution, the assembly appointed a commit tee to investigate the situa tion fully and to try to imple ment the resolution. The Communists persistent ly have refused to cooperate with the committee and have refused any on-the-spot in quiry. The latest U. N. report on the stalemate was submitted last December by Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand, U. N. representative on Hungary. It was denounced by Hungarian Delegate Janos Peter, who charged the report was trying to use the United Nations for the strategic' purposes of the Western powers against Hun gary and the Soviet Union. The Tibet question first came up in the United Na tions in September, 1959, when Malaya and Ireland re quested that it be put on the agenda for the 14th assembly. This was six months after the Tibetans revolted against the rule imposed by the Red Chi nese troops who invaded the Himalayan Kingdom in 1950. Referred to Appeal A Malayan-Irish statement referred to an appeal for help from Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, who said the Chinese had smashed the up rising and brutally suppressed the religious and civil liberties of his people. The statement said the United Nations "has both a moral obligation and a legal right to discuss the situa tion." In October, 1959, the asscm bly adopted a resolution which deplored the events in Tibet and called for "respect for the fundamental human rights of the Tibetan people and for their distinctive cul tural and religious life." The Tibet question was sla'.- ed for further discussion in the 15th assembly before it recessed on Dec. 21, but be cause of the pressure of de bate on such items as the Congo, it was deferred-along with 37 other items - to the current resumed session which began March 7.

It's 12 miles from Marysville, Calif., on sprawling and strategic Beale Air Force base. Four hundred $16,500 homes, in all stages of construction, stand rotting along brand new but roped off streets. Construction of the project was halted last Mary 19 when the contractor encountered financing problems. Last month the U.S. Department of Defense said it would take charge of finishing the project with the Federal Housing Authority providing insurance funds. (UPI Telcphoto) Cat Head Tax Has Loopholes Charleston, W.Va. - IUPD - State Delegate T. E. Myles emphasized that he was "com pletely serious" when he said he would introduce legisla tion that would place a $1 head tax on all cats in the state. But colleagues, tongue-in- cheek, followed up with amendments which would: - Exclude from the bill all "hepcats, cool cats, civet cats and polecats." - Put excess funds into cap ital improvement!;, such as catnip.
