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

Fight With Shell
Over Price Signs
Salem 0TPD Gasoline deal

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

said other dealers must drop
prices to compete.

Traffic on County
Highways Shows
Increases in Year
All Jackson county high
ways with traffic counters
showed decided increases In
traffic flow in January, 1963,
according to the Oregon state
highway department.
A traffic counter on the
Greensprings highway, seven
miles east of Ashland, show
ed average daily traffic of
910 cars for 1962.
January's, traffic flow was
an average of 756 cars a day
compared to January, 1961's
average of 529 and reflects
the same percentage increase
of the year before, 42.9 per
cent.
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. The month's average
daily travel was 2,309 cars
compared to 1,473 a year ago.
Highway 99, two miles

tion, an independent Shell
dealer, said he thinks Shell
starts many of the price bat
tles. -
Shell, which directly oper
ates some 40 stations as well
as selling gasoline to about
450 independent Oregon deal
ers, denied precipitating price
battles.
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."

'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

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.

get when he held his Monday
morning press conference.
The governor exploded in
anger. 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

action in slashing 'the civil de

"soft America," and that
Democrats were "soft on de

attack he exploded: "I'm
prompted to ask the governor
if he rested on the seventh
day - he talks like God Al

prepared the governor's bud
