Newspaper Page TextOlympic By FREDERICK H. TREESH United Prest International New York - tint - Raler Johnson, whose great and varied athletic prowess car ina him to the Olympic de cathlon championship, has set a new goal for himself: hur dling the gap of understand ing between American col lege students and exchange students from abroad. With two Kansas univer sity students, William Dawson and Rick Barnes, Johnson is co-directing the national en campus People to People cam paign to promote internation al understanding among col legians. "The crux of the thing is that international students come here, go to school and get their degree," Johnson said. "But they don't meet Americans and get to know America. "It's the fault of both. The foreign students are more for mal. They don't just walk up and introduce themselves. "T h e American student often feels there's nothing he can do to help . . . that there already are all kinds of pro grams like meetings, teas and receptions for the foreign stu dents." The fact is, Johnson said, the international students live together, eat together, go to the formal meetings and final ly finish college without real ly getting to know the Amer ican students. Often they re turn to their native lands with no real knowledge of what America is really like. Johnson, a big soft-spoken California, said much of the hostility toward America in foreign countries "is in the student area." "Students abroad have their own political organizations and have a strong voice in their countries," Johnson said. Promotes Program With Barnes and Dawson, who have taken leave from their studies, Johnson has traveled widely promoting the six-point People to People campus program. He has helped organize a dozen statewide conferences on prob lems of foreign students and hopes to have held at least one such meeting of college and state officials in each of the 30 states by the end of this year. The People to People cam pus program includes: Establishment of person al contacts between foreign and American students. Hospitality by the com munities in which the colleges are located.

In the People to People I College Girls Live in Castle By GENE MEAKINS United Press International Redstone, Colo. -IUPH- Cin derella hardly fared any bet ter than two pretty Texas co ed? who came to this scenic old mountain community to wash dishes and wound up living in a real castle. - Each night, their pumpkin is transformed into a 42 room Tudor .castle decorated with Tiffany crystal chande liers, Persian rugs, Ming vas es, oil paintings and other rare works of art. Their bath water flows through solid silver fixtures and the library walls are of hand-tooled ele phant hide. Linda Mulcock, 19. and Sarah Baird, 20, who migra ted for the summer from their homes in Tyler, Texas, to this secluded and spectacu lar mountain valley, retire each night as princesses. They share a room in the servant's quarters in the castle. But their pumpkin appears each morning as they head a half-mile down a narrow mountain road to wait on ta bles, wash dishes and make up beds for the tourist guests at Redstone lodge. Possible Ghosts "It's exciting living in an honest to goodness castle," exclaimed Miss Mulcock, who next fall becomes just an or dinary student again at the Univers ty of Colorado, where she is a junior Span ish major. "We think there are ghosts in the castle - may be even Teddy Roosevelt's." Her roommate, Sarah, "just can't believe it's true" that she really is living in the castle, which overlooks a lush green valley and has a 9-hole golf course in its front yard. I had no idea I was going to live in a castle until I got here, the comely junior busi ness education major at Abi lene Christian college said. "I feel just like a princes?. It's kinda like a dream, it really is. Hunting Headquarters Redstone castle once was a favorite headquarters for Teddy Roosevelt's hunting and fishing forays. Such no tables as John D. Rockefeller. J. P. Morgan and Jay Gould and European royalty also vacationed in the luxurious castle, surrounded by snow capped peaks. It was built at the turn of the century by John C. Osgood, founder of the steel-producing Colorado Fuel and Iron corporation, who crammed the castle with art objects. Osgood, who died in 1926, COUNTRY and WESTERN DANCING Sunday at 8:30 DOUGLAS OAKIE JACK KRUSCHEN ' brother - sister program American students are en they arrive at American cam puses telling them about the school, the town and campus life "The American 'brother' or also built a model village nearbv for his coal miners and their families. Some of their Swiss chalet homes still remain near the "ghost" town of Redstone, which once was a booming mining village and now has a population of about SO permanent rest dents. Now, the castle is open to ihe public for the first time for tours - and to anyone who can afford to pay $100 to $350 a day to live like a king in a suite in the 23-bed room, 17-bath edifice. Guests can recline on Renaissance furnriture, dine with an 874- piece silver service designed for King Alfonso of Spain and sleep where T. R. once slept. Lodge for Tourists But the average tourist stays in Redstone lodge, where Linda and Sarah wait tables. The castle and lodge are part of a 960-acre spread on the Crystal river high in the central Colorado Rockies, between Aspen and Glen wood Springs, now owned by the Redstone corporation. In cluded on the property are a I glass-e n c 1 o s e d swimming pool, a ski lift, the golf course and a portion of the ghost town. For Linda and Sarah and the 18 other college boys and girls living in the castle and working in the lodge, it's like a dream. Cinderella never had it so good. Study Shows Three Religious Ghettos By CLAIRE COX United Press International New York -tUPD- Americans are sealing themselves into religious ghettos, a new study of social frictions and tensions reports. The Jewish ghetto, instead of being wiped out, has been augmented by Roman Cath olic and Protestant ghettos. the study found. In major cities across the country, the intermingling of various groups reaches a sharp cutoff point al. 5 p.m with members of each of these groups retreating to their separate ghettos, it said. Published by the Union of American Hebrew congrega tions, which represents Re form Judaism, the report, en titled "A Talc of Ten Cities," charged that "religious bigot ry is still widespread and deeply embedded" in Amer ican life. Beyond the question of anti-Catholicism, of anti-Semitism, or anti-Protestantism, is the stark fact that we Amer icans know precious little about the realities of religi ous relationships in America," the report said. It was written by Rabbi Eugene J. Lipman, spiritual leader of Temple Sinai in Washington, D.C., and Albert Vorspan, director of the Com mission on Social Action of Reform Judaism of the Union of American Hebrew congre gations. Zamboanga in the Philip pines has one of the greatest areas of any city. Its area of 1,159 square miles is almost equal to that of the entire state of Rhode Island.

TREESH United Press International New York tUPD "Thirty thousand persons go' blind in the United States every year. If we could learn a cure for glaucoma, we could save 4,500 of them from blindness. Has there ever been a greater challenge?" The speaker was Jules Stein, a little known eye doc tor who made it big in show business, becoming a million aire many tines over. Stein, chairman of Music corporation of America, put aside his medical career in 1925 after studying and prac ticing for 11 years. His inter est shifted to the entertain ment field while working his way through medical school as a violinist, saxophone player and dance band leader. Though his business suc cess was legendary. Stein says he only now is realizing his greatest satisfaction. Al 65, when most men think of re tiring, he is undertaking an enterprise which logically combines his medical back ground and business wizard ry: Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc., a charitable foundation which endows re search in blindness preven tion. Established oniy three years ago, the foundation raised SI. 2 million to con struct the Wilmer Opthamo logical institute at John Hop kins hospital in Baltimore, awarded annual grants for eye research at more than 30 institutions, endowed a num ber of opthainological pro fessorships and now has more than $2 million in the kitty toward a new eye research institute in Los Angeles. Money Taken From Firm's Coin-Changer The owner of an automatic laundry and dry cleaning establishment reported to city police Saturday that about $142.75 had been removed from his coin-changer ma chine. Clyde Thomas Ramsey. owner of the business located at 602 South Central ave., told police that no damage was done to the coin-changer and that he was unable to determine how the money was removed. The theft, Ramsey told offi cers, must have occurred sometime between 9:30 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday.

Back in the 1860's, the mail had to survive Confederate raiders and the equally devas tating behaviour of primitive railroad track in what now is considered East. Out of these early adven tures came a service we all take for granted today: the Railway Post Office. The Pony Express lasted only 17 months; the RPO still handles the bulk of mail. This summer, Missourians celebrate the 100th anniver sary of the initial RPO run from Chicago into St. Joseph, Mo., the frontier Missouri river town where the railroad ended and the West began. Harvey Mail Clerk Fred Harvey, the restaurant and dining car man, you've heard of. But not William A. Davis. Harvey was one of the two mail clerks on the first rolling post office run from Hannibal, Mo., to St. Joseph on July 28. 1862. He went on to estab lish a fortune and a legend by feeding rail travelers in the west. Davis, who lost his political job as postmaster at St. Jo- seph when Abraham Lincoln installed his new administra tion, thought up the idea of sorting mail while en route on a train, to save time. During the few months the Pony Express operated its 2,000-mile dash between St, Joseph and the Pacific, the mail came to St. Joe via the Hannibal and St. Joseph rail road, which picked it up from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy at the Mississippi river. Haiardout Travel Subsequently, transcontin ental mail was hauled west ward from St. Joe by the Overland Stages (until the Union Pacific railroad was completed). But Confederate guerrilla warfare in Missouri and the haphazard roadbed made the arrival of the mail sacks from the east uppre- Weather FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Fair to night.

ELEANOR PARKER CHARLTON HESTON I rtiiifsat ft ti t,t$ ican classmates find out they need jobs, Johnson said, "Many American students have fathers who could give jobs to six or seven students." Johnson's primary duty is to explain to state and col lege officials the need for for eign student programs along Even in Jet Age dictable. Great traffic jams built up in St. Joe. It sometimes took three Jays to sort the mail there and urgent wartime letters missed connections. Davis, demoted to assistant postmaster under the Lincoln administration, conceived the railway post office and sold the idea to the government through his new boss, who had political connections. The first RPO was an old baggage car which Davis equipped with shelves and tables a design still prevail ing today. Because the mail was sorted while it traveled, it lost no time sitting in post offices along the way. The Hannibal St. Joe operation saved 14 hours on the transcontinental mail operation. A century later, the same system works across the coun try (although no longer does the Burlington Route hand the mail over to stage coaches at St. Joe). More Clerks Even in the jet age, mail is a major clement of rail busi ness; the Twentieth Century Limited, showcase train of the New York Central between New York and Chicago, car ries more mail clerks than passenger crewmen. Of the two men who did the most to bring the RPO into existence, one was a ca reer postman from Kentucky and the other was Pennsyl vania born farmer who switched to newspapering and politics. In Virginia Davis was born in Barren county Ky., in 1809 and went east before he went west. He worked in the post office at Charlottesville, Va and Rich mond, Va., between 1830 and 1855, then moved to the Mis souri frontier. In 1860 Lincoln gave the St. Joseph postmanshln to a Republican newspaperman in St. Joseph. Davis' new boss Japanese Sailor Ends Solo Cruise San Francisco-IUNI-A week end sailor from Japan sailed into San Francisco Bay Sun day and announced he had just completed a three-month solo cruise across the Pacific in a 19-foot boat. Kenichl Horie, 23. said he quit his job In his father's auto parts shop in Osaka and took to the sea May 12. Weary but high spirited after his 5,200-mile nonstop voyage, Horie waited at an chor off San Francisco for four hours awaiting clearance to come ashore. He said he ran into bad storms at five points during ine crossing, un one occasion, he said, the sea tore away two porinoies of his craft and he had to board them up to keep the boat afloat.

Bittinger, who was born near Chambersburg, Pa., in 1833, later moved to faniis at Rowsburg, Ohio, and Green County, Wish. Bittinger joined the Free port, 111., Journal in 1852 and two years later was a delegate to Illinois', first Republican convention, at Rockword. He went on to St. Louis where he became publisher of the Evening Bulletin, and then to St. Joseph to become post master, part owner of the Herald, delegate to Missouri's first Republican convention and member of the legislature. He helped found the Missouri Press Association in 1867. On the first westbound run, 206 miles from the Mississippi river to the Missouri river, the mall car derailed at least once but it got through. Engineer Addison Clark re called on the return trip: "The track . . . was very rough, and the cars, being short, got off the tracks quite often. Mr. H. W. Farley, the master mechanic, put two iron rods along the top of the car for the postal clerks to hang onto while the car was off the track and It proved to be an excellent safety appliance."
