On Events Of Wagon Trip
KYSSA, Ore. AP The Ore
gon Centennial Macon train's ar
rival in Oregon Tuesday came
with the thermometer edging
toward 110 degrees.
But one wagoneer remarked.
'The heat isn't so bad because
we are just getting thawed out
trom the freezing at the start."
The wagons have been through
rain, snow and heat and even saw
tornado but the 28 members of

Summit Asked
On Cancer
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Sen. Hu
bert Humphrey D-Minn.) today
advocated a "summit meeting"
on health to organize an East
West war against cancer.
Humphrey said, "1 feel that So
iet scientists have much to con
tribute to the international con
quest of cancer and that they
earnestly desire to do so.
- His statement was issued as the
Senate subcommittee on reorgani
zation and international organiza
tions, headed by Humphrey, re
leased a 40-page booklet titled
'Cancer: A Worldwide Menace."
The Minnesota senator (lid not
spell out the details of. the pro
posed meeting, but pointed out
that two million deaths annually
result from cancer and that this
almost equals the population of
West Berlin.
"If the major powers cannot
agree politically on Berlin," he
said, "let the leaders of the ma
jor powers at least agree on try
ing to save the lives each year
of as many people as live in Berlin."
Humphrey's views on interna
tional cooperation in medical re
search were received enthusiasti
cally during the senator's eight-
hour talk with Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev in Moscow ear
lier this year.
Humphrey said the world silua
tion offers many clues to the
cause of cancer that are not
being followed up. For example,
he said, the rate of breast can
cer is surprisingly much lower in
Japan than in the United Stales
"No good detective passes up
Important clues," he said. "If we
knew the answer as to why that
difference occurs, we might per
haps be able to save the lives of
thousands of American women,
it all over again and others
wouldn't. But those who wouldn't
are glad they came on the trip.
It doesn't seem possible,"
Mrs. Thyrza Felling of Hillsboro
said of reaching Oregon. "This is
the best reception we've had yet."
The S9ers have some benefits
the pioneers lacked.
A 1,000-gallon water truck sup
plies tne water, bridges cross
streams which settlers had to ford
and the Indians are friendly
But they said traffic and the
weather are the problems on the
2,2u0 mile trek from .Independence
Mo., to Independence, Ore.
The wagon train empties the
1,000-gallon tank truck every l.'i
or 2 days, Bob Fineout of Hills
boro said. "But we used a tank
ful last Friday," he said. It was
reported to be 120 degrees that
day.
"I sure was glad to see that sign
to Portland, Fineout said.
The wagon train members" went
about their usual chores before
joining the evening festivities in
the Nyssa city park.
Weaver Clark, 66, Hillsboro.
went to find water for his mules.
"They come first," he said.
"We're quite a combination
an Oregonian and two Missouri
mules," Clark said. But he said
they give him no trouble. "They
know who is boss and we keep it
that way.
Ten-year-old Robbie Roberts II
of Eugene, sporting a T-shirt with
"Eugene Emeralds" across it
said he would like lo make the
trip again.
"But many of the others
wouldn't," the youngster said.
One of the cooks, Val Johnson
of Portland, said "We cook every
thing you would eat at home."
The wagons haven't been beset
with mechanical difficulties ex
cept for minor wheel repairs. But
a supply truck traveling with the
train had generator trouble.
One 59er remarked as he
crossed the bridge, "I wonder if
Oregon has been granted state
hood yet."
Commie Paper Raps U.S.
For Anti-Red Campaign
MOSCOW (UPP-The Commu
nist Party newspaper Pravda ac
cused the United States today of
plotting a new and provocative
anti - Soviet campaign. The
charges cast a shadow on the
forthcoming visit of Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon.
A three-column article in the
party newspaper asked how Pres
ident Eisenhower reconciled his
professions of friendship with the
Soviet Union with the congres
sional resolution July 17 asking
prayer for enslaved nations."
It was one of the sharpest at
tacks on U. S. policy in recent
months. Because it came on the
eve of Nixon's arrival and the
opening of the American Exhibi
tion here, observers believed it
might have some effect on the
reception of the vice president
Pravda itself pointed up the
connection.
"This week the American Ex
hibition in Moscow will be opened
and as public opinion in the
U.S. S R. and the U.S. hope it
should serve lo consolidate mutu
al understanding and peace be
tween the great powers," Pravda
said.
"But the question naturally
arises how to reconcile the mes
sage from President Eisenhower
to (Soviet First Deputy Premier
Froll Kozlov of July 14, m which
he voices the hope for a consid
erablc improvement of mutual
understanding between our
lions and his declaration of July
18 which contradicts that hope?
"It is possible that certain
American leaders would like to
include the American exposition
m Moscow among 'the ceremonies
and measures' of their propagan
da week?
What specifically aroused the
newspaper s ire was the con&rcs
sional resolution calling for an
enslaved nations week."
Premier Nikila Khrushchev
mentioned the resolution Tuesday
night in Warsaw and said, we
think the only enslaved countries
are the capitalistic ones."
Khrushchev also said of the
Nixon visit: "I suppose he has
good intentions. I cannot under
stand one thing. What is his
aim?"
Pravda bitterly denounced pre
posterous publicity declarations
about 'freedom,' in the United
States" and said the United
Slates is a paradise only for the
capitalists and "enslavement for
the working people."
"One cannot help but laugh at
the vain attempts of American of
ficials to find 'enslaved' people in

Pravda said the congressional

You cannot argue with the facts: 9 out of 10
