Red China May Attempt To Recover Lost Lands London - (WD - British ex perts said Saturday Red Chi na has served notice on the Kremlin that it may try even tually to recover vast reaches of land Tsarist Russia wres tled from the tottering Chi nese empire. The experts noted that Rus sia was specifically included in the list of "imperialist and colonialist powers" which the Peking Communist "People's Daily" said had imposed "un equal treaties" on China. "By virtue of these unequal treaties, they annexed Chi nese territory in the north, south, east and west, and held leased territories on the sea board and in the hinterland," the editorial said. War Cry "Unequal treaties!" was a war cry of Chinese national Ism years before the Commu nists conquered the country.

COED ILL Corvallls - ILTI - A 19-year-old Oregon State university coed was reported critically ill with spinal meningitis here Friday. Fatrica West of Bend, a freshman, was hospitalized Thursday. While there appeared to be no prospect of an early Chi nese attempt to seize the Russian-held territory, British ex perts said the editorial had the effect of moving Red Chi na's dispute with the Kremlin from the vague area of ideolo gy into the specifics of poli tics and border disputes. Some experts have believed for some time that Red China was eyeing some of the Soviet held territories which once were part of the old Chinese empire. They also have sug gested that Red China's land hungry eyes might turn one day towards the vast and emp ty spaces of Russia, notably Siberia. Examine Treaties Among the treaties "forced" on China, the People's Daily specifically listed three agree ments with Tsarist Russia the Treaty of Aigun of 1858, Casterllne, Rick Heisel, Rog er Schmitt, Ed Lipperl and Ernie Jones.

It recalled ominously that when the Reds overran China, "our government declared that it would examine the treaties concluded by previ ous Chinese governments with foreign governments . . . and would recognize, abrogate, re vise or re-negotiate them ac cording to their respective contents." The Chinese added that in this respect their policy to ward "socialist" countries is different from that toward the emperialist countries, but did not explain the difference. The area taken by Russia in the past includes vast stretch es north of Vladivostok along the Pacific Coast and the sites of the present-day industrial centers of Homsomolsk and Kharbarovsk. net solo; Christie Sleetcr, clar inet solo; Jonathan Andrews, French horn solo; Bill Winton, clarinet solo; Betty Gay Coff man, alto saxophone solo; cornet trio, Gary Breeden, Jack Hart, Steve Steinmetz; cornet quartet, Bob Cull, Bob Gresham, Greg Jones, Phil Jahn; trombone quartet, Ed Mencke, Wayne Taylor, John Rogers, Jim Hayworlh; flute trio, Jane Rush, Gale Fosbury and Rachel Guetzlaff; clarinet quartet, Jean Vinson, Linda North, Kay Teeters, Wilma Toennigcs.

WESTINGHOUSE 0VEN-0AB30 Platform PAB34 or PBB34 OVEN OAB30 Platform PBA20 Gas Dealers Wage Fight With Shell Over Price Signs Salem 0TPD Gasoline deal ers and the Shell Oil Co. fought before the legislature Friday over a bill to prohibit display of large gasoline price signs in an effort to reduce price wars. . Dealers said just one "circus-type sign" displaying cut rate prices in front of a gas oline station can start a price war through an area. They said other dealers must drop prices to compete.

The traffic counter on the Jacksonville highway, one mile west of Ruch, also re flected the same percentage increase for January com pared to a year ago, 8.7 per cent, with a traffic flow of 691 compared to the same month a year ago with 587 cars. Crater Lake highway, four miles south of Shady Cove had a travel increase of 13.3 per cent for January, same as a year ago in percentage in crease.

Discrimination Claimed Shell Attorney William D. Campbell said prohibiting roadside advertising would be unconstitutional, discrimina tory, and harmful to the mo torist seeking cheaper gaso line. The bill would limit price signs to a sign one foot square above the pump. It is being considered by the House Com mittee on Commerce and Util ities. Goforth said nearly all of some 4,000 stations in Oregon want the bill. A minority of dealers, how ever, oppose it. They said they could not compete with the big companies without selling less expensive gasoline and putting out signs to attract motorists. Campbell explained that when one dealer starts a price war, Shell and other suppliers go along with it by reducing wholesale prices to their sta tions. He said the gasoline companies as well as the deal ers take a loss. He denied suggestions from the committee that the root of the problem might lie in an effort to "dump surplus gasoline."

Page 2A MedfordJTribune MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 1963 'Cleaver' Remark Upsets By ZAN STARK United Press International Salem - H'Pli - "We'll teach him not to pick on one of our committees." That's how House Speaker Clarence Barton summed up the bitter fight between the governor and legislators that dominated the legislature this week. "We don't mind if he prom ises to use bare knuckles to fight for his program," Bar ton commented. "But when he accused our Ways and Means committee of wielding a meat cleaver, that's another thing." Some second - guesses felt Gov. Mark Hatfield uninten tionally slipped when he made the "meat cleaver" re mark. Others conjectured Hat field is a political expert, and knew just exactly what he was doing. The governor had just fin ished telling civil defense of ficials to fight for the CD bud- Phoenix Students Take Merit Tests Phoenix- Seventy-six stu dents at Phoenix High school took the 1963 National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test last' week. The qualifying test is a three-hour examination of ed ucational development. The test is the first step in the ninth annual competition for four year Merit Scholarships provided by the National Mer it Scholarship Corp ation and by sponsoring corporations, foundations, associations, un ions, and individuals. Test scores of students who are examined this month will be reported to their schools before May 15. The scores are used by class advis' rs in many high schools to help stu.'ents make decisions about college attendance and field of study, Phoenix school officials noted. Many students who do not expect to win a scholarship take the test in order to learn more about their individual strengths and weaknesses in the areas measured by the test. The highest scorers in each state will be named early next fall. Their names and test scores are sent to the college they express an intcdest in at tending as their first or sec ond choices.

Speaking so rapidly some newsmen had trouble taking notes. Hatfield prom ised a bare knuckled fight to save civil defense and educa tion. He accused the Ways and Means committee of "wielding a meat cleaver." He virtually promised to veto a bill which would give the leg islature power to review reg ulations of state agencies. Hot Replies Given If Hatfield had planned to intimidate the legislature, the plan backfired. Senate President Ben Musa and Barton - both Democrats - Tuesday morning replied to the attack with one of their own. "If he wants bare knuckles, if even he wants brass knuck les, we'll take him on," Musa said. "It's the old Mark talking . . . back in form," Barton charged. This outburst was a warm up for what came when the Senate convened. More than a dozen senators berated Hat field in an hour-long remon strance. The senators blasted civil defense, questioned the gov ernor's "political education," charged the governor's stand would be hard to explain when "Hatfield goes out for national office," and voiced overwhelming support for the Ways and Means committee. Senate Minority Leader An thony Yturri defended Hat field's right to speak up for his programs. But many ob servers felt Yturri fell far short of voicing a vigorous defense of the governor. "Soft" Charge Made Hatfield got in his second round in Portland when he charged that the legislature's DIES OF INJURIES Roseburg - (UPD - Angalita Elms, 17, Chemult, died at a hospital Friday from injuries suffered in a car-train acci dent Thursday.

When Barton learned of the attack he exploded: "I'm prompted to ask the governor if he rested on the seventh day - he talks like God Al mighty." Barton lambasted the de partment of finance - which prepared the governor's bud get - as "a bunch of college professors that never met a payroll in their lives." Meanwhile, the state's de moralized civil defense organ ization began falling apart. All seven of the agency's clerical employes gave notice. CD Director Robert Sand strom sadly announced "I am not filling any vacancies now."
