Flying Fortress Detained
By French At Algeria Port
BONE, Algeria fi A Flying
Fortress loaded with arms and the
four crew membera, including two
Americans, were still detained
here Friday, (our dayj after being
forced down by engine trouble, a
police officer said.
Reports here and from Israel
and Parii agreed the plane was on
a flight from Israel to a Latin
American country.
The news of the incident had
been bottled up here since the
plane landed Tuesday while :lie
French investigated whether ihe
arms wera intended for Algerian
rebels.
The French Foreign Ministry in
Paris said earlier Friday that
the plane is at liberty to leave
when it wishes and the crew
members are not under restraint."
Still Impounded
But the officer on duty at the
local police station said the crew

Israeli whose names have not
20 Children
Believed Dead
In Bus Wreck
PRESTONSBURG, Ky. I A
school bus carrying an estimated
38 children struck a wrecker,
sideswiped an automobile, then
plunged into the Levisa fork of the
Big Sandy River near here Friday.
State police feared at least 20
children and the bus driver, John
Alex Derossett. were trapped in
30 feet of water. Sixteen others
were known to have escaped
through a rear door. Six were hos
pitalized. The National Safety Council said
it "undoubtedly is the worst school
bus crash in its history." The
council said the worst bus acci
dent on record was one that killed
28 persons near Waco, Tex., in
August, 1952, when two buses col
lided. (The accident was similar to
one in Washington State on Nov.
25. 1945, when a Chelan school bus
plunged from the icy road into
Lake Chelan, drowning 15 pupils
and the driver.)
Can't Locate Bus
Hours after Friday's accident
rescuer workers still were unable
to locate the bus. Small boats
cruised the area searching for
bodies. . , ....

the driver when we went into the
water." said Isaac Vanderpool.

High School teacher who has tak
en hundreds of hours of spare
lime to perfect his educational pro
gram was voted Thursday night
by the Roseburg School board.
Recipient of the bonus was Rob

The board ruled that the bonus
would be continued in future years

mance he has attained in the past
is continued.
Describing Robins' work. Supt.
M. C. Deller said: "We have a
man in our district who has for
the past five years worked with
large numbers of students at the
senior high school night after night
for months at a time. He has
brought a mediocre vocal depart
ment to an outstanding music or
ganization." In The Day's News

In Washington the other day
there was a big bi-partisan rally '
in support of foreign aid. In the
day-long session. President Eisen
hower spoke. Former President
Truman spoke. Vice - President
Nixon spoke. Adlai Stevenson '
spoke.
All of them were FOR it.
President Eisenhower was par-1
ticularly emphatic. In his speech,
he charged that criticism of for
eign aid ia based on prejudices,
penny-wise economy ana a refusal
to face facts.
The next morning a group of
Democratic congressional leaders
said President Eisenhower's re
quest for four billion dollars in for
eign aid WILL NOT be approved.
These leaders, as quoted by the
reporters, add that the big foreign
aid to-do won't change a single
vote in the congress.

been disclosed was still there and
that the plane had been impounded
by French customs. The BIT.
which lacked any license number
or national identification, .'
said to be under military guard
at Bone-les-Salines Airport.
French officials refused to give
any information on the case.
Reliable informants however,
gave this account:
The Flying Fortress messaged
last Tuesday during a storm: "We
are in trouble. Right engine down.
Asking approval for landing."
The Bone control tower gave the
authorization, and the plane made
a difficult landing at 5:45 p.m.
The four crew members stepped
out and told airport authorities
they were on their way from Tel
Aviv to Venezuela with a cargo
of "spare parts." The plane's
manifesto said the cargo consisted
of "spare parts in boxes."
Gift Te Venetula
The pilot, an American about
40 years old. claimed the Flying
Fortress and its cargo were a gift
of the Israeli government to the
Venezuelan government "in re
turn for past services."
Aviation sources in Tel Aviv said
the plane left there Tuesday with
about three tons of arms for
South America, but said the
plane was not Israel-owned or
registered.
When airport police asked to
check the cargo, the pilot pro
tested. Customs agents opened
the boxes and found 292 bazookas,
loo machines guns, four mortars
and ammunition.
In Paris newsmen learned Ihe
affair had been kept secret while
the French investigated whether
the arms were intended for Alger
ian rebels.
The first news was released
there by the Foreign Office after
it said an inspection had shown the
arms were not intended for the
rebels.
Laughing Burglar
Again Apprehended
Here By Officers
Roseburg's laughing burglar who
has a penchant for chuckles and
telephones is in custody again.
Jack Frank Bliss, 44, 1245 SE
Pine St., was arrested by Rose
burg police about two hours after
a burglary of a candy distributing
company was reported. 11 was the
lawman's tool method of oper
ation which led to his appre
hension. Bliss' modus operandi includes
a habit of reporting crimes
his own. His title of Laughing Bur
glar was earned in 1953 when he
kept heckling officers by telephone
about a liquor store burglary.
He phoned and laughed until
arrested. In addition to his title he
was awarded three years in the
Oregon State Penitentiary. In No
vember 1956. Bliss was on his way
back to prison for a two-year bur
glary handed him in Douglas
County.
Cave Report
Bliss' latest fall started with a
telephone report of a burglary at
Latham Wholesale Distributors.
338 NE Winchester St. The caller
gave his report to state police
and cut the connection without
identifying himself.
Roseburg- police were notified
and found the report to be (rue.
Glass in the office door had been
broken to permit the lock to be
turned.
A check with L. C. Latham
showed that 0165 in currency and
silver had been taken along with
a number of keys, checks, insur
ance policies and truck titles.
It was the telephone call which
turned the trick. Police reviewed
the circumstances and method, i
lied them to the recent release of j
Bliss from prison and decided he
would be a likely suspect.

from the sheriff's office and taken
around Roseburg to be shown to

Salary Request
Of Custodians
Is Turned Down
A new policy for solicitations by
! children in the Roseburg school
: system was adopted by the School
j Board Thursday night, and a re
i quest for a salary or work-week
adjustment by janitors was denied.
I The board went into overtime
in the meeting, adjourning finally
at 12:15 a.m. It was an extension
of Wednesday night's meeting.
I Also reviewed was a program in
I the district athletic department,
I presented by Athletic Director
Lome Simons. Most of the pro
gram will be turned over to the
district Budget Committee n 1 1 1
Wednesday night.
The janitors' request originally
was for a $7.50 per month raise
across the board to bolster incomes
in the face of cost of living in
creases. The request was made
Wednesday night.
Thursday night, Supt. M. C. Del
ler and Guy Davis, buildings and
grounds superintendent, were back
with a recommendation which
would leave salaries at the top end
of the custodial salary schedule
unchanged. But starting wages
would have been boosted S15 a
month for beginners, with yearly
$7.50 increments until the top was
reached
40-Hour Week Proposed
i In the meantime, however, the
janitors decided they would settle
for a reduced work week in lieu
of a wage increase. Working now
for 44 hours a week, they proposed
that the week be reduced to 40
hours.
Both proposals were rejected.

Eisenhower Enters
Hospital For Tooth
Pull And Checkup
WASHINGTON I President
Eisenhower entered Walter Reed
Hospital Friday for a physical
check-up a follow-up to Ihe slight
stroke he suffered in November
and extraction of a cracked
tooth.
The President arrived at the
Army medical center from the
White House at 10:20 a m. EST,
after sitting in for a time at a
cabinet meeting.
The cracked tooth was removed
soon after the President entered
the hospital and the White House
said the extraction was "normal
and successful." The physical ex
amination was scheduled Satur
day morning.
Eisenhower was smiling broad
ly and was in no obvious discom
fort as he stepped from his limou
sine. Eisenhower was greeted at the
X-ray entrance by Maj. Gen.
Ionard D. Healon. Walter Reed
commandant.
The ailing tuoth was a back
molar which was cracked recent
ly, presumably when Eisenhower
t bit down on some hard substance.
, James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said Eisenhower
t would remain al Walter Reed over
night as a precaution against any
complications after the extraction.
I It always has been his practice,
; however, to enter the hospital the
day before any physical examina
tion, such as the one he will un
dergo Saturday.

WASHINGTON lift - A member
of the House subcommittee inves
tigating the Federal Communica
tions Commission told Richard A.
Mack to his face Friday the
greatest service he could render

Mack has insisted that he has
done nothing wrong, and he told
reporters Thursday that of course
he would not resign.
Under questioning by Moss,
Mack testified that he took the
word of Thurman A. Whiteside, his
childhood friend, as to arrange
ments Whiteside made to provide
him with an interest in the Stem-bler-Shelden

Miami, and with the sole owner
ship of Andar Inc., a holding '
company.
Did Not Question Funds
He said he did not question or
check the amounts paid hun as
due on the participating interest
he owned in the agency.
And he said he did not ask for
details when Whiteside, a Miami
attorney, told him about a year
ago "we would handle this in a
different manner" through own
ership of Andar.
Mack said he knew nothing of
information Mqss said he had
