Red China Achieves Status Of World Power, Challenges Soviet Union, Professor Notes
By PHIL NKWSOM
I'PI Foreign News Analyst
China always has had "big
ness." Now it has "organized
bigness."
Prof. Clioh Mins Li, chairman
of the center for Chinese studies
at the University of California,
has drawn up a balance sheet of
Red Chinese achievements and
concludes that "China has at
tained for the first time in mod
ern history the status of a world
power."
"It has," he notes in the cur
rent issue of Challenge magazine,
"extended its political and econ
omic influence to as far away as
Cuba in the Western Hemisphere.
Albania in Eastern Europe.
Guinea and Ghana in Africa, not
to mention the Chinese military
adventures in the Far East and
Southeast Asia."
And it is from this position of
strength that Red China now
cliallenges the Soviet Union and
Nikita Khrushchev for leader
ship of the Communist world, de
spite serious and continuing prob
lems at home.
Economic Study
Professor Li's study is primar
ily economic.
He notes that Red China
reached its present status both
with the help of its military pact
with the Soviet Union and
through effective political control
of the people.
But the chief contributing fac
tor, he believes, was Red China's
industrialization which enabled
her to more than quadruple pro
ductive capacity in the years
from 1(154 through 1!58. enhanc
ing her military might.
This, was Uie "great leap for
ward" which in li)i8 merged
with the rural communes. The
communes were to do for agri
culture what already was being
done industrially.
But mismanagement, three
years of drought and a miscal
culation of the effects of human
nature reversed the great leap
forward which then became the
"great fall backward."
Forced Into Market
China was forced into the
world market to buy grains, to
restore private plots to the peas
ants and permit a limited
amount of capitalism.
This year, with the help of the
private plots, grain production is
reported about back to the 1958
leveL
Industrially, other reports say
the Chinese still arc having
trouble.
Steel production last year may
have been about half of the peak
of 18 million tons reported in
I960.
A shortage of coal is said to
liavc reduced all heavy industry
lo about 60 per cent of capacity.
But with all her difficulties,
Red China has neither cased up
on her dispute with the Soviet
Union nor slowed her economic
offensive abroad.
Professor Li points out that
since 1954. Red China lias estab-

plus Algeria, Burma, Ghana and
a half dozen others on the out
side. Furthermore, these com
mitments have increased steadily.
"In fact," Professor Li con- China to become bolder and more
eludes, "internal stress and dif- aggressive in its external rela
ficulties may impel Communist tions."

University of Oregon set a record
of $3,722,150 during the fiscal year
ending June 30, the university an
nounced today.
The figure is about SM.OOO high

Mayor Named
GRANTS PASS iUPIi Robert
C. Martin has been appointed
mayor of Grants Pass to tut tne
unexpired term of Charles B.
Gill. Jr., who resigned June 24.
Gill accepted an appointment to
the Stale Industrial Accident Com
mission. Martin, an auto dealer, and a
former mayor, was selected by
a unanimous vote of the city
council. -
House of Representatives over fi
nal approval of the Northwest
Power Preference bill. Sen. Henry
M. Jackson, D-Wash., told t h c
Washington State Labor Council
convention here today.
Passage of the measure, Jack
son said, would safeguard region
al interests in the event of a
power intertie with the Southwest.
The bill has been passed by the
Senate and now awaits action in
the House Interior Committee
where it has strong opposition.
It would pavethe way for an
intertie that would permit Bonne-!
villc Power Administration to
market surplus power in Califor
nia without danger to any re
quirements of Northwest consum
ers. "These additional Bonneville re
venues would mean that the like
lihood of a power rate increase
would be lessened," Jackson said.
"Without this legisation, large
industries, which buy power di
rectly from BPA, would have to
shoulder the full impact of any
rate increase. This could force
some of these plants to curtail
operations and jobs would be af
fected."
Paris Workers
Call Strike
PARIS 'CPU The Communist-led
General Confederation of
Workers iCGTi called today for
a one-day strike Thursday to pro
test a government-sponsored anti
strike law.
The law. if passed by the cham
ber of deputies, will require pub
lie utilities employes, such as
subway workers, to give five
days' notice before striking.
Certain pedestrians, called jay
walkers, get their name from the
jay bird, which usually runs after
things diagonally.

Do Oregon ians Deserve
to live in Ore
gon?
All right, all right! Don't get sore. We know that
you deserve to live in Oregon. Our question is
aimed at the guy who doesn't appreciate this
great state of ours, who knows next to nothing
about it the guy who thinks he has to leave
the Pacific Northwest and go all the way to
California or some other such fastness to have a
good time. Ridiculous, isn't it?
Yet such misguided guides do exist, and the
picture part of this ad is for them. .(You, being
a loyal, knowledgeable Oregonian, can skip
down to "What difference does it make what
kind of a guide you are?")
How well do you know the territory? Take
this difficult test. Simply stare long and hard
at each of the six photos, decide what each is
a photo of, then check off your answer. No
cheating. The answers are way down at the
bottom, but to protect you from temptation,
they're printed upside down.

What kind of a guide areyou.anyway?
Now that you've taken the test (whew!), count
five points for every correct answer and see what
kind of a guide's rating you deserve:
30 points Grand Exalted Guide
25 points Somewhat Exalted Guide
20 points Tenderfoot Guide
15 points Newcomer
10 or less Misguided Out-of-Stater
What difference does it make
what kind of a guide you are?
Well, for one thing, the more you know "about
Oregon, the better you and your family can en
joy it. Then, too, the more you know, the more
you can help others less fortunate than yourself.
Like misguided out-of-staters. And the more they
know, the more likely they'll become tourists end
bring all that lovely tourists' money into Oregon.
And it's big money, too.
If you like statistics, try these: Today tourism
is Oregon's Number 3 Industry. In the last four
years, tourists have spont an average of $185 mil
lion dollars a year in Oregon. ($217 million in
1962, with the World's Fair as a magnet)
More statistics: Each tourist in Oregon spends
about $6.20 per day or $20.45 for the average
family of 3.3 people. (Seen any three-tenths of
tourists lately?)
And according to the U.S. Chamber of Com
merce (which ought to know), an annual average
of 24 tourists a day is equal to a new industry
with a payroll of $100,000. Enough?
Why is the Telephone Company
helping promote Oregon?
We're proud to be part of the statewide team
that's promoting tourism in Oregon and its
Welcome Mat Campaign. Like you, our future is
invested in Oregon. (We're second only to Georgia
Tacific in the number of employees. We're first in
plant investment over $300 million dollars.) Like
you, we're proud to "tell the world about Oregon."
We're convinced that if we all work at it, we can
mako Oregon the most rewarding, the most pros
perous state in the nation.
What can you do? Plenty!
First take a trip through the state and check up
on things. ( When's the last time, for example, that
you viewed the scenes in our picture quiz?) Then
turn Suite's Witness. Bo a one-man (or one
family) Chamlier of Commerce. Make yourself
iasufferabio with your out-of-state friends. Let's
tell the world about Oregon.
Send for free vacation guide
Want to prove to your out-of-state friends you're a
truo grand exalted Oregon guide? Just clip the cou
pon. We'll send you a Jim Dandy Oregon Guide
to six salubrious vacations in spectacular Oregon.
Ask for as many copies as you want to send to
your out-of-state friends. It's a handy, full-color
booklet of your Oregon vacation opportunities. If
you don't have any out-of-state friends, get a
booklet anyway. You probably will want to take
some of the trips yourself.
