Khrushchev, Tito Meet to
Cement Renewed Alliance
Countries' Bond
To Be Fashioned
On Leninist Ideas
Belgrade, Yugoslavia - IUPII
- Soviet Premier Nikita Khru
shchev arrived today for a
"family vacation" visit, but
said his chief aim is to ce
ment the renewed Russian
Yugoslav alliance.
Khrushchev told a small
but warm airport welcoming
audience that he wants "to
continue the talks which
were begun in Moscow" last
December when Yugoslav
President Tito visited the So
viet Union.
Khrushchev and his family
Hew into Belgrade from Mos
cow in brilliant sunshine, and
swapped the traditional bear
hugs and kisses with their
host, Tito. Khrushchev wore
a wide smile when he cm
braced Tito, but turned seri
ous as they inspected an hon
or guard.
Short Speech
Then, with Tito standing
beside him, Khrushchev made
a short arrival speech. He
said Russia and Yugoslavia
fashion their relationship on
"Leninist principles of for
eign policy," an obvious slap
at the Communist Chinese
who have attacked both Khru
shchev and Tito as "traitors"
to Communist ideology.
The Communist Chinese
ambassador boycotted the 21
gun salute welcome, sending
only a junior embassy official.
The Albanians, Peking's only
European ally and Yugosla
via's bitter neighbor sent no
one.
Tito, in his welcoming re
marks, told the cluster of
newsmen, official greeters
and diplomats that Yugoslav
Soviet relations "have been
developing successfully."

To Stem Flow of

Washington' -IUPII- Treasury
Secretary Douglas Dillon told
Congress today there is a
"compelling need" for swift
action to stem the flow of
U.S. dollars abroad.
Dillon asked "early enact
ment" of President Kennedy's
proposal for an "equalization

in U.S. markets. His request
was made at a House Ways
and Means committee hearing.
"We cannot afford to pro

Postal Authorities
Seek Blanks;
Man Is Arraigned
Raymond Harold McCoy,
31, arrested Sunday in con
nection with burglary of the
Grandview market from
which stamps and currency
amounting to approximately
$204 were taken from a safe,
was arraigned in district
court Monday afternoon on a
burglary charge.
The case was continued un
til Aug. 22 for a preliminary
hearing with bail set at $1,
000. McCoy is in the Jackson
county jail.
The post office department,
which entered the investiga
tion of the case Sunday, is
continuing its search of the
area for money order blanks
and other material taken
from the post office substa
tion's safe which might have
been thrown away.
The blanks did not carry
the stamps which would make
them of use. There were a
number missing, however,
and authorities believe they
were discarded.
McCoy was arrested follow
ing a report telephoned to po
lice by a woman living in the
area of the Grandview mar
ket, who saw a man enter the
market, break a window and
escape in a par. Two other
persons also identified Mc
Coy. When city police entered the
market they found that the
safe had been punched and
that a tear gas bomb had been
set off by the action. The
bomb was attached to the
combination of the safe. Less
than an hour later assisting
state police arrested McCoy.
be found, or that our imme
diate problems will simply
fade away," he declared.
The cabinet official told
the committee that the bal
ance of payments deficit dur
ing the first six months of this
year climbed to an annual
rate of "well over $4 billion"
but preliminary figures for
July had indicated some im
provement. The Treasury de
partment had earlier put the
annual rate, as based on the
first six months, at $3.2 bil
lion. The record deficit o $3.9
billion was set in I960.
Dillon said the proposed
temporary tax would not hurt
domestic e c o nomic growth,
but would - along with other
monetary measures - help re
verse a mounting payments
deficit.
The Treasury official was
the first witness at the hear
ings, which are expected to
last two days, on President
Kennedy's proposal for a tax
ranging from 2.75 to 15 per
cent on stocks, bonds and
other securities sold by for
eigners to U.S. investors.
Concrete Pouring
To Start at Lodge
Pouring of the concrete for
the main foundation of the
Mt. Ashland Ski lodge will
begin Wednesday, according
to Alex Murphy, general
manager for the Mt. Ashland
corporation, developers.
Murphy stressed that the
trucks hauling the concrete
will use the Tolman Creek
and Ashland Loop rds. that
day, making truck traffic un.
usually heavy.
He said that in addition to
the foundation the side walls
will also be poured. Concrete
footing for the lower termi
nal of the T-bar lift is now
being poured with pouring to
start next week on the upper
terminal. Also to start next
week is the erection of sup
ports for the lift.
Murphy said that today
they are determining how to
utilize the 17,000 cubic yards
of fill which will be moved
during the construction of
the road from Highway 99
at Siskiyou summit into the
ski area. He explained that
part of it may be used in the
parking facilities, with a park
ing area to accommodate 300
cars in the immediate vicinity
of the lodge planned.
Completion of the lodge is
scheduled for late fall in
time for skiing this winter.
Glass Doors at
School Damaged
The plate glass in the rear
doors of Hedrick Junior High
school, 1501 East Jackson St.,
was broken during the night,
apparently by a person or per
sons firing pellet guns, Med
ford police reported.
The damage was discovered
at 3:45 o'clock today. The
holes in the windows of the
doors, which open near the
cafeteria area of the school,
will make replacement neces
sary, school officials said.
A pellet gun, which is an
air pressure gun, shoots a
slug which resembles that
used in a .22 and is equally
destructive, police said.

Conservative to
Succeed Kefauver
Nashville, Tenn.-flJPn - Her
bert S. Walters, a conserva
tive Democrat and a self-made
millionaire, today was ap
pointed to the U.S. Senate
succeeding the late Estes
Kefauver.
Walters, 71, Democratic
national committeeman from
Morristown, Tenn., was nam
ed by Gov. Frank Clement
who took time out from the
Southern Governors Confer
ence to return here and make
the announcement.
Walters, who parlayed a
team of mules into a giant
roadbulding firm, is a close
friend of Clement, but his
politics are more conservative
and described by friends as
similar to those of Sen. Harry
F. Byrd (D-Va.).
Kefauver, the c o o n s k i n
capped Tennesseean who
twice sought in vain to be
come president, was regarded
one of the most liberal of
Southern Democrats.
Recommendations
Made to Council
The Capital Improvement
committee of the city of Med
ford voted this morning to
make two recommendations
to the city council.
The first asks that apprais
als be secured for the land
to be used for municipal pur
poses in the proposed civic
center, bounded by West
Eighth, South Holly, West
Ninth and South Ivy sts.
The other recommendation
is for early implementation
of the proposal for installa
tion of a new fire alarm sys
tem to replace the present
obsolete system.
The committee met at 7:30
o'clock in the council cham
bers and discussed numerous
city matters, but no definite
action was taken.
Portland Youth Is

Portland - IUPII - A second

Investigation into juvenile

dy's basic argument that the
pact to bar all but under
ground nuclear explosions
was a "first step" toward
peace and away from the
threat of nuclear holocaust.
The Hungarian-born physi
cist told senators of three
committees considering the
treaty that the history of nu
clear development in which
he was a prime figure was
full of surprises and that
there was every reason to
expect there would be more
of them.
Great Strides
He recited seven such
"surprises," dating from the
first successful atomic test
in New Mexico up to Russia's
announcement that she had
made "great strides toward
missile defense." Teller testi
fied that he had changed his
own mind about the possi
bility of defense against mis
sile attack.
"A few years ago I believed
that missile defense was hope
less," he said. "I'm now con
vinced I was wrong."
"Stimulated by the Russian
experiments, I am now firm
ly convinced that we can put
up a missile defense that
would stop any missile attack
from a weaker country, such
as China, for the next two
decades," Teller asserted. He
added that a U.S. missile de
fense could be "partially ef
fective against the Russians."
He said that "we may not be
able to save our cities but we
may be able to save our re.
taliatory capability."
Teller said such missile de
fense could safeguard reason
ably strongly built shelters
which he said are needed.
