In Moscow Foreign Min ister Andrei Gromyko played host to Chinese Ambassador Pan Tsu-Li for what was de scribed as a "warm and friendly" lunch meeting. (Simultaneously in Peking, Communist Chinese party chief Mao Tse-Tung received Soviet Ambassador S. V. Shevervonenko for what Peking radio described as a "cordial talk.") Both moves came in the wake of a rocket-brandishing speech by Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Malinovski which was interpreted here as a sign that Moscow may be swinging toward Peking's "lough line" with the west in an effort to better its rela tions with Red China. Bury Capitalism Malinovsky, speaking Fri day to an audience that in cluded Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, claimed that any American attack on Castro Cuba would touch off a third world war in which "the en tire system of capitalism will be buried once and for all." The Soviet defense min ister's warning was the most sternly worded threat by the Soviets since the Cuban crisis last autumn and consituted one of the strongest commit ments of Soviet military sup port to Cuba yet made. Western diplomatic circles in Moscow interpreted the speech as a Soviet shift to ward the Peking line and a notice that the Kremlin no longer considers itself at a disadvantage because o its rocket pullout from Cuba. Western diplomats here have speculated the Russian's similarly unyielding line at the disarmament talks now being held in Geneva also might be a sign of Moscow's apparent effort to prove itself as good at "fighting against imperialism" as Red China. No details were available here either on Gromyko's meeting with the Chinese ambassador or on Mao Tse Tung's talk with the Soviet ambassador in Peking. Youngster Injured By Passing Truck A six-year-old boy suffered minor injuries when he was struck by the side of a pass ing pickup truck on Griffin Creek rd. near Cordelia way Saturday morning. Trealed at Rogue Valley hospital was Duane Michael Bagby of 2433 South Stage rd. A medical examination re vealed that his only injury was a laceration on the right shoulder blade. He was re leased after treatment. The driver of the pickup truck did not stop after the accident occurred, but Sher iff's officers theorized that the driver may not have real ized what happened. Bagby was playing near Griffin Creek rd. with a 10- year-old boy at about 11:45 a m., when he was pushed on to the road and into the side of the truck, the sheriffs of fice reported.

Designed Road ! The forest service has sur veyed and designed a two lane, paved, all-weather road from the summit of the Sis kiyous on Highway 89 to the ski area on the north slopes of Mt. Ashland. The Oregon and California County association has ap propriated S463.000 from 'rec reation road funds to con struct this road next summer. An additional $224,000 has been appropriated for paving in the summer of 1964. Prob lems of snow removal have been worked out jointly by several government agencies. The state highway depart ment will include adequate access to this road at the sum mit of the Siskiyous in its plans for Interstate 5. First phase of the project to be completed by autumn 1963 calls for expenditure of $171,500. It includes con struction of a lodge to house warming facilities, food fa cilities. ski patrol headquart ers, restrooms, ticket booths, first aid station and ski shop.

MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY Pearson Promises Nuclear Weapons For Canada Troops Montreal -ilW- More than 1.500 party supporters from the key province of Quebec Saturday cheered liberal lead er Lester B. Pearson's prom ice to acquire nuclear weap ons for Canada's armed forces it his party is named to form the next government. Pearson, opening bis cross country election campaign, struck out hard 9t the issue that split Canadian-American relations, sparked the defeat of Prime Minister John Dicf enbakcr's conservative gov ernment, and brought on an April 8 genera! election. He told a Quebec Liberal Federation luncheon it was "illogical and worse" for Can ada to remain a member of the nuclear-committed NATO alliance and refuse to equip its own weapons at home and in Europe with nuclear war heads. "As long as Canada has this nuclear equipment ... as long as they are not aban doned as obsolete, I believe we must accept the ammuni tion which alone makes them effective, and that's nuclear warheads," he said. This and one other direct reference to the need far nu clear arms brought a solid burst of applause from the Liberal workers who jammed the Queen Elizabeth hotel ban quet room. They interrupted his 35-minute speech 40 times with applause and gave him standing ovations, with we want Mike" chants, at the be ginning and the end. Among those who joined in the applause was Quebec Pre mier Jean Lesage, the leading Liberal light In French-Can- : ada and a man whose support at least by inference Fed eral Liberals consider crucial While he did not speak at the luncheon, Lesage stood at Pearson's side during the ova tions and chatted with him hand-in-hand while battery of photographers had a field day. Pearson's aides said they were "very pleased" with the reception given the redcral leader nd. In particular, his defense policy. Portland -t?!- Gov.

Wagner agreed Sat urday to adopt President Ken nedy's formula and suggest terms for settling the 11- week-old New York News paper strike if he is unable to bring publishers and strik ing printers to agreement in further mediation efforts. Wagner asked both sides io meet with him at City Hall this afternoon for another at tempt at settling the dispute through collective bargain ing. The mayor stressed that if he did take on the third party roie suggested by Kennedy, he would not consider it ar bitration because any recom mended settlement he might make would not be final and binding on either side. Publishers promptly agreed Thursday to Kennedy's pro posal of "independent determ ination for ending the dis- pute, now entering its 12ttt e ornnn senor oi west er week. Printers said that any Jm, as She Russians had said farm at arbitration was for- bidden by their constitution.

The mayor intervened other four buses to Check in the strike one month ago point Charlie as a challenge yesterday and conducted 37 to the allies. They said it was days of nearly continuous ne- passible the challenge was in- goliations before the talks stalled. In a statement issued through his office, Wagner said: "I have today advised the publishers and the printers union thai I am prepared to suggest to them the terms of a settlement I believe reason able and fair to both sides. This would not be an ar bitration. It would not be final and binding. It could, be rejected in whoie or in part by either side although, I wouio nope, oj course, si would form the basis for a complete settlement of issues in the dispute.

Neuberger Miffed Over Her Two Committee Assignments By A. ROBERT SMITH Msii Tribuna Washington Comspondant Washington -iSpcciai)- Has Sen. Maurine Neuberger been the victim of discrimination by "the Senate establish ment?" Sen. Joseph Clark !D-Pa.l ciaims she has been, with the result that Mrs, Neuberger has been obliged to serve against her wish on a "Little Orphan Annie committee." The lady senator at least concedes she was snubbed by her conservative elder when new committee pasts were as signed last week. As a new senator two years ago, Sen. Neuberger was as aigned to the Ranking and Currency committee and the Agriculture committee, prob ably the two least desired committees.
