Premier Leaves
Moscow As Talks
With Peking Open
Move Seen As
Snub To Chinese
Moscow - (UPD -, Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev, in a
seeming rebuff to Peking, was
disclosed Saturday to have
left Moscow as negotiators
from Communist China and
Russia met in the first busi
ness session o their historic
showdown conference.
Khrushchev, who had re
turned to Moscow only two
days ago from a trip to East
Germany, was in Kiev. The
premier's absence from the
city at the time of the vital
talks was disclosed by Moscow
radio.
Diplomatic circles said they
considered Khrushchev's ab
sence a snub because it is cus
tomary for the Soviet leader
to receive personally all high
ranking foreign Communist
delegations. Ping Hsiao-Ping,
head of the Chinese delega
tion, is the No. 2 rhan in the
Chinese Communist party af
ter Mao Tze-Tung.
May Meet Later
It was possible thai he
would meet later with the
Chinese.
There was no explanation
of Khrushchev's seemingly
pointed absence from the So
viet capital during the talks,
but there was little doubt
about the obvious indirect re
buke to the Communist Chin
ese delivered by publication
Saturday of a new peace ap
peal from President Kennedy.
The Soviet news agency
Tass revealed Kennedy's ap
peal of Friday as the Soviet
and Chinese Communist ideo
logical experts met- in the
grey stone headquarters of
the Communist party central
committee. The publication
was seen as another rebuff to
the Communist Chinese who
have rejected Khrushchev's
policy of "peaceful coexist
ence" with the West.
The message from Kennedy
to Khrushchev thanked the
Soviet premier for his July 4
offering of good wishes and
urged a joint effort to solve
"key problems which divide
us." '
The government newspaper
Izvestia printed the text of
the Kennedy message Satur
day night but noticeably fail
ed even to mention the Sino
Soviet meeting.
Reliable informants said
the two negotiating delega
tions confined their secret
session Saturday to a presen
tation of "position papers."

During the first half of the

running well below that of
the four - day 1961 July 4th
holiday period.
A 12:30 a.m. (edt) tabula

Farm Labor Office
To Be Set Up
On Fairgrounds
The farm labor office trail
er will be established on the
county fairgrounds near the
armory again this year, it
was agreed this week follow
ing a meeting with represen
tatives of city, county and
pear industry.
"We certainly are not go
ing to stick our heads in the
sand and build a fence around
Parco d'Alba to. keep out all
migratory labor," - Medford
Parks and Recreation Direct
or Robert L. Ha worth said
Saturday. "But, the city of
ficials do think that the pear
industry, county and city
should meet this fall to dis
cuss development of an area
which migratory labor could
use for overnight camping."
The two representatives of
the local pear industry, Don
Root and Dunbar Carpenter,
agreed that migratory labor
should not be allowed to camp
in Tarco d'Alba.
Extra Cost
Haworth noted use by la
borers tends to drive out all
picnickers, and cost the city
$850 in extra operational ex
penses during a six week pe
riod due to broken fixtures in
the restrooms.
It "also hinders the early
morning irrigation of the
park, he explained. The city
realizes, however, the impor
tance of the pear industry to
the local economy and is wil
ling to compromise, he added.
Two alternatives suggested
are locating the office in the
oid secretary of state's office
on the South Pacific highway
across from the Roxy Ann
bowling alley, or migratory
labor camping in the open
space between the armory and
the ball park.
The multiple use concept
could be carried out by allow
ing migratory labor to use
the proposed baseball park
dressing rooms when not in
use for athletic events.

Buenos Aires - MP!) - The I
armed forces Saturday deploy

Tough security orders were
to "repress with all energy"
possible disturbances by Pe

early Saturday of their de
mands for a seven-day post

The elections were called

Labor Market Is
Flooded, Except
In Skilled Jobs
The local labor market has
been flooded with applica

office of State Employment
service, reported Saturday.
The end of school was fol
lowed by an army of student
job seekers marching on the
employment agency asking
for summer work. There are
also many people moving into
the county or inquiring about
job opportunities here, Patton
said.
There is less summer work
for students this year than
a year ago, largely due to the
lack of thinning in the or

employment office noted. This

jured about 4:45 p.m. Friday
when his motorcycle crashed
into a car driven by Mrs. Vir
ginia' Plummer, 54, of route
1, box 109. Gold Hill. Central
Point police reported.
The collision occurred at
the intersection of First and
Oak sts., Central Point.
Central Point police said
the boy was traveling at a high
rate of speed and was unable
to stop when he aaw the ap
proaching car. He crashed Into
the side of the auto, officers
said. He suffered severe head
injuries, which could have
been avoided, police pointed
out, if he had been wearing a
crash helmet or other safety
device. He was brought by
Medford ambulance to Sacred
Heart hospital and had not re
gained consciousness late Sat
urday morning.
Ilia, ia one of the favorites. Former Argentine dictator

are they will not.
Fill Numerous Posts ' 1
The elections are to fill 21,
173 elective posts ranging
from president to local alder
men, including 192 federal
deputies, 22 governors and 46
federal senators. Elections in
1962 were cancelled by the
military because ot sweeping
Peronist victories. .. .
The Peronist boycott " left
three major presidential can'
didatcs but none is considered
likely to win enough votes
today to gam an absolute ma
jority in the Argentine elec
toral college July 31. If they
do not, new elections will be
necessary later. The armed
forces pledged to heed the re
sults of these elections.
Of the nine presidential
chards resulted from the un
favorable weather experienc
ed when the fruit trees were
in bloom.
The labor dispute in the
lumber industry also was
mentioned by Patton as a rea
son for more men coming
here from other parts of the
state. The strike has not af
fected the local mills. ;
Unemployment has been
about one per cent higher
than it was in the Rogue River
valley one year ago, but, ex
cept for fruit work, the over
all employment situation ap
pears to be generally good for
the summer months, Patton
stated.
Migratipn from out of state
continues to be heavy, accord
ing to the employment report.
These people, Patton explain
ed, are not itinerant workers,
but individuals looking for
new locations away from large
centers of population. Rela
tively few of these people are
able to find employment and
remain in this area at the
present time.
Construction of a natural
gas pipeline into this area was
mentioned by Patton as an
encouraging development for
labor forces. Many industries
cannot operate without such
a source of fuel, he explained.
The availability of natural
gas should have an important
effect on future developments
in this area.

contenders are. retired Lt.
Gen. Pedro E. Aramburu, for

nomirae of the Unity party;
Arturo Una of the People s
Radicals and Oscar Alende ot
the radical Intransigents.
Horacio Sueldo of the Chris
tian Democrats, who briefly
yielded top place on his tick'
ct to a Peronist, had a possl
bility of picking - up large
numbers - of . stray Peronist
votes by those not heeding
the party boycott call.
A complex new proportion
al representation plan was
openly designed to prevent
Peronists from gaining major
ity control was in effect for
the balloting. The Peronists
control possibly 35 per cent
of the popular vote.
These precautions and the
security measures stem from
the fact that Peron, from his
exile in Madrid,: still wields
considerable influence over
the working class to whom
he left a mixed legacy of la
bor advances and harsh to
talitarianism. He was overthrown eight
years ago and Argentina has
remained a house divided. Pe
ron's supporters still follow
him blindly; his opponents
cheerfully would shoot him.
Peronist ranks have swelled
as a result of vociferous anti-
Peronist officers and Argen
tina's economic plight.
Peronist union leaders in
the General Labor Confeder
ation (CGT) voted Friday
night to call a 24-hour general
strike next Friday if the
elections went ahead on sched

body has been found by the
U. S. aircraft carrier Wasp in
the area of the Caribbean
where the fishing ship Sno'
Boy has been missing for five
days with 40 persons aboard.
The Coast Guard said it has
no identification on the body
but "it was found floating in
the same general area as de
bris" from the missing ship.
Earlier in the afternoon, a
deck house, life jacket and a

Glenn Rumored
As Candidate
For U.S. Senate
Columbus, Ohio - (UPD - As
tronaut John H. Glenn may
resign from the space program
to run as a Democratic candi
date for the U.S. Senate from
his native Ohio next year, in
formed Democratic sources
said Saturday.
The plan to put Glenn into
the race was seen as a move
to strengthen President Ken
nedy's, hand in Ohio, which
he lost in 1960, and to give
the party a strong candidate
against the Republican nomi
nee expected to be U. S. Rep.
Kobcrt Tatt Jr.
Informed sources said the
plan depends in part upon
whether Democratic Sen. Ste
phen M. Young, a surprise
winner in 1958, decides to
run for reelection.
Party leaders would be re
luctant to put a candidate into
the field Against Young, who
is In his 70s. Young has kept
silent about his plans al
though he Indicated regularly
until recently that he would
not soelc reelection.
Word that Democratic' na
tional party leaders were
quietly checking in Ohio on
Glenn's eligibility as a can
didate caught leaders of both
parties by surprise. The Ma
rine colonel's civilian address
is New Concord, Ohio.
Democratic State Chairman
William L. Coleman and for
mer Gov. Michael V. Di Salle,
a recent dinner guest at the
White House, said the reports
were news to them. Republi
can Stale Chairman Ray C.
Bliss, who has masterminded
some major GOP victories,
said he had heard nothing of
any move to put Glenn into
the race.
But Ohio Democrats had
been looking for a candidate,
assuming that Young, in his
70s, would not run again.
They admitted they had no
body other than Young with
a statewide following. Obvi
ously if the fumed astronaut
could be persuaded to run
they would have a ready made
candidate, who is world fa
mous and an eloquent public
speaker.
There was no word from
Glenn but reports have fil
tered out from the National
Aeronautics and Space admin
istration (NASA) In Texas
that Glenn might soon put
aside his actual space work
to become a public relations
man for the agency.

U.S., Haiti Engage In Comedy Of Errors

Washington-iUPIi-The United
States and Haiti have been

for the ambassador it's not at

It all started June 14 when
the Haitian government an

no longer welcome there.
Thurston was in Washington
on consultations at the time.
He was declared unwelcome
after a long period of turmoil

Missing Since Tuesday
The Sno' Boy has been miss
ing on a fishing trip from
Kingston, Jamaica, to a small
island 80 miles to the south
west since Tuesday.
Still earlier Saturday, bam
boo poles - part of the ship's
cargo - were found by a fish
ing vessel, dimming hopes of
finding the Sno' Boy intact.
A fishing vessel Friday
picked up a plywood dining
table from the ship.
The Coast Guard said the
white spar appeared to be
part of the missing ship's
mast. The hull of the Sno' Boy
is also white.

Leaders
Chicago - HIPII - James H.
Meredith, the Negro of "Ole
Miss" who was a hero to his
race only a year ago, charged
Saturday that "intolerance
and bigotry" among the lead
ers of his own people may
doom the civil rights move
ment.
Meredith's bitter blast, de
livered in an exclusive inter
view at the convention of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo
ple (NAACP), was the latest
and moat dramatic develop
ment in a widening rift be
tween the nation's civil rights
groups.
Rift Developing ,
The rift is between the Ne
gro moderates" who favor
the traditional NAACP tactics
of courtroom campaigns for
civil rights and the new "di
rect actionals" who fight for
their case In mass demonstra
tions and street rallies.
The NAACP,. In a stormy
wccklong convention which
ended Saturday, took a long
step towards joining the ranks
ot the "direct actionlsts."
Meredith spoke out after he
was subjected to a tongue
lashing before an NAACP
youth group last night. He was
attacked for being a "moder
ate," for using the phrase
"burr heads," and for oppos
ing the NAACP's planned
rlod to pick up his belongings.
The department announced
that he would do so.
But It turned out that, some
how, the U. S. government
had incorrectly translated the
note. It actually said Thurs
ton could not return "even"
to pick up his belongings.
The State department's an
nouncement of Thurston's
plans so angered the Haitians
that they fired off a new note
saying he positively could not
return. The trouble was that
virtually all the ambassador's
furniture and his wife's pos
sessions were still in their
home in Port-au-Prince.
Also, the furniture was in
termingled with other people's
furniture since the Thurstons
