1 2 Th Ntwt-Rvlw, Roatburg, No Trace Of Victims Ruins Of U.S. Bomber, Located After 16 Years, Poses Baffling Mystery By CEOFFRIY OOULO WASHINGTON (AP) The Sa hara Desert has east up a mystery as deep ana Darning as any re corded in the annals of the seas. A World War II B24 bomber which had a crew of nine has been found in the wateriest wast, of Libya, 380 miles south of Bengali. It was last seen 16 years ago when It took off from a Libyan base lor a bombing raid on m vies. Italy. The bomber lies there on tho sand, scarcely damaged, pre served almost perfectly In the not, arid desert air. Its radio still is in working order. There is not a trace of the crew men who flew off on that mission in 1943. No clothing, no written records. Water bottles, presumably tight ly capped, were found still filled in the cabin of the plane. Had the crew crash-landed in the desert and started to walk out to civiliza tion, surely they would have taken all available water with them. If thev had been killed in the land ing which caused so little damage to the plane, their remains would be mere. Puisllng Qutstlsns Poised Did the crew all ball out some- Soldier Wins Pay As Sailor WASHINGTON (AP) Charles R. Darby, now an Army major, started out In the Navy. But it didn't work. He got sea sick. After graduation from Annapolis in 1948, Darby spent nearly three years as a navy ensign, xney were sick, sick, sick years. Finally, in November, 1948, bo cause of his chronic seasickness, he was allowed to resign from the Navy and enter the Army as a second lieutenant. Ever since then, Darby has been trying to get the Army to credit him for his previous Navy duty as far as the Army promotion list goes. the Army Board of correction of Military Records decided he was right. They added on the Navy time and promoted him to major. There was just one more thing. Darby figured ho should get back pay differences for the rank he should have had all along the line. This week, the U. S. Court of Claims agreed with the seasick major. It ordered back pay of some thing over $1,000 to Darby. As the court put it: "One cannot eat or put In the bank the glitter and glory that goes hand in hand with an officer of tho Army." Food Stamps Nixed By Administration WASHINGTON (AP)- The ad minislration has opposed a se ries of bills to set up food stamp and other direct food assistance programs for needy families. Clarence L. Miller, assistant secretary of agriculture, told a Senate Agriculture subcommittee the broadest of these sponsored by Sens. Georgo I). Aiken (It-Vt) and Hubert H. Humphrey (D Minn) would cost about, 2Mi bil lion dollars a year. A food stamp plan, Miller said, would have no direct effect upon the major surplus problems corn, cotton and wheat. Miller said oporation of welfare programs Is a state and local re sponsibility. Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass). said decreases in unemployment last month "must not divert us from the problems of tho under fed, the undernourished, the un dcrhoused and the underem ployed."

Sot., Junt 6, 1959 where else, as the Pentagon thinks is likely T Then how did the Diane fly on for hundreds of miles to let down In a sou landing In the desert? And why apparently did none of the cr.w survive? Kuford L. Moore, Portsmouth, Ohio, father of one of the crew men, said he received a letter in 1946 from the War Department, saying the plane was returning from the bombing mission when it lost radio contact with its base and was presumed down in the Mediterranean. Did th. crew bail out over the sea for some reason while the plane flew on safely to the south? The Pentagon Identified the plane from its serial numbers, it released Friday night the names of the crewmen and their next of kin. In spite of th. passage of time, relatives of all nine crewmen were reached Friday night. They said they had been notified by the War Department in 1943 that their loved ones were missing in action. A year later they were told they had been killed. For 16 years the plan, rested mere and was seen oy no one. or, if some desert nomad came across it, he told no authority. It was found a short time ago by a team of exploring geologists. The U. S. Air Force sent a plane crew to see the wreck and photo- grapn it from tne air. And it is sending experts overland to exam ine it more closely.- Money Vanishes In Truck Trip; Puzzle For FBI ' By JOI LEWIS LOS ANGELES (AP) "We are exploring .very avenue," said the r ill. "The money can't be missing but it is." said the police. "Somebody goofed," said the Bank of America. Where, oh, where can th. miss ing $113,200 be? The two deliverymcn, entrusted with the armored truck from which the money vanished Thurs day, aren t saying anything ex cept to a lie detector. Police said they submitted vol untarily to a lie detector test Fri day and their account was veri fied. Records show dellvorymen Louis Weiss and Bob Kitchen loaded cash Into their truck from the Bank of America vault Thursday moraine. Then they started on a 6t4-hour trip unloading cash at Bank of America branches and other busi ness concsrns. No Truck Ttwfr Indicated At fivs of the 17 stops on their route,- me venicie was ten un guarded for periods varying from two to five minutes. But investi gators said there isn't the slight est evidence that the truck was robbed at any of these stops. At tho and of the route, wnen the truck rolled up to the Bank of America's Slauson avenue branch, the money was gone. The FBI said ft couldn't recall such a large sum just vanishing from an armored car. Agents are checking each stop on the route. If the money was delivered by accident to one of the branch banks, a bank spokesman said, it's sure to turn up soon. But If it went by mistake to a business con cern, he added, it may take a lit tle longer to find it. "We're insured and so are the armored truck people," he said. "Actually, it's tneir worry." The money in $2, $5. $20, $50 and $100 bills Is Insured with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, Portland Police Hit By Lawsuit PORTLAND (AP) - A $20,000 damage suit was filed here this week in circuit Court by Salem businessman Paul Rouse against two Portland policomen, Ameri can Auto Lease.

Judge Instruct ' Schools To Present Plan For Compliance ATLANTA (AP)-Atlanta school officials have been ordered to stop operating segregated public schools and to present a plan for integration within a reasonable time. The U.S. District Court ruling Friday said segregated schools are illegal but it did not set a specific date for the end of segregation in Georgia s largest school system. Judge Frank A. Hooper indicat ed that any final order would not mean integration next September in Atlanta, seat of the government of one of the very few states with out integration at any public educa tional level. The decision brought a step near er the showdown on whether At lanta's schools will be integrated or closed. Under state law any school ordered integrated would automatically lose state funds and could be shut down by the gover nor. Hooper specifically granted an injunction sought by 10 Negro par ents of 27 children asking an end to public school segregation in the cuy. Vital Points Lilted In a statement issued at the end of the day-long hearing, the judge said his final order would cover these three points: 1. That racial discrimination has and does exist in Atlanta's schools. 2. That the plaintiffs would be granted an injunction prohibiting the Atlanta Board of Education from operating public schools on a segregated oasis. 3. That the Atlanta school offi cials would be allowed a reason able time to submit a plan for integration. B. D. Murphy, leading counsel for the Board of Education, said after the decision that "it's my guess the ruling will be appealed." inner defendants declined com mcnt. Atlanta now has about 70,000 white pupils and 31,000 Negroes in a system enrolling about 10 per cent of all the state's school-age cnuaren.

Strauss' nomination as secretary of commerce appears to be in the hands of a small band of 10 to 15 senators. They are the senators who have not mad. up their minds about the controversial nomination, or, if they have, have not confided their decision to their colleagues. They are both Republicans and Democrats. Seven Democrats have said they'll vote to confirm Strauss. One Republican, William Langer of North Dakota, says he'll vote against him. Assuming that all th. other 33 Republicans .voted for him, Strauss would still need at least nine more Democratic votes to put him over the top. But he can't necessarily assume mat au tne Republicans will vote for him, al though the tightest kind of GOP party discipline is being Invoked. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D Wash) told newsmen Friday he thinks 10 to 15 senators haven't made up their minds.

Incredible, Judge Thinks In continuing the case for two weeks, Judge J. Sydney Hoffman declared: "This is just Impossible. We here cannot believe that a hand some, bright, intelligent boy could be involved In such a horrible crime. Somewhere along the line we must have failed. Cooney's parents remained un der a doctor's care. Despite her own agony, Mrs. Holt, who has two other daugh ters, Daniela, 5, and Mila, six months, also reflected pity upon young Cooney's parents when she said: "They raised a child 15 years and now, overnight, they have a blemish. The dead girl's father, Anatol, a mathematics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said he will not give lnl grief and de spondency. "I am not one to take things ly ing down," he said.

Day after day the wagonmaster, Tex Serpa, raises his arm for the wagons to roll and, as Mrs. Wal ter Hilliard of Myrtle Creek says, "You just can't get over the thrill of seeing the wagon train start in the morning, no matter how many times you have seen it." Emotions Triggered It touches a deep seated emo tional trigger, one that makes these people rise out of wet beds each day for 41 days. There have been less than two days that it has not rained since the begin ning of the trek. R. R. (Rudy) Roudebaugh, Drain, said that when it rains hard, "the canvas of the wagons keeps out the heavy rain, but It's just like living in a constant mist of fog inside the wagon." These modern pioneers live up to their hardiness to the fullest. They have had many offers of night's lodging in hotels and motels but have turned tnem an aown, no matter what the weather. "It ain't the right thina to do": that's their attitude. Th. train Is heading Into real rustic adventure as it begins the climb over the continental divide, passing through Casper and head ing out across the north edge of the Red Desert completely away from the traveled highways. Oregon's seven wagons are head ing home, manned by "the toughest people" this part of the United states nas Known. CASPER, Wyo.

Picketing Fails To Prevent Break In Gravel Strike CORVALLIS (AP) Despite pickets, a sand and gravel firm re-opened Friday and 10 others idled since May 11 by a labor dispute said they will follow suit Monday. The labor dispute, which has stopped much construction in the mid-Willamette Valley area, began when a lone Teamsters Union picket appeared at a plant here. The Cascade Employers Assn. then said that a strike against one was a strike against all and the other 10 companies shut down. Pickets since have appeared at some. Resumption of work Friday at the Valley Concrete Co. at Inde pendence was the first break in the deadlock. An official of that company said work was resumed, with super visory personnel at the wheels of trucks, because of community pressure. The official said the sand and gravel shutdown had idled con struction of Inply Corp.'s new ply wood plant at Independence, throwing several hundred men out of work. Pickets still paraded in front of the plant as work resumed at In dependence. Non Union Men Get Call Notice of the Monday opting of the other affected plants was contained in letters sent to em ployes Friday. The letters asked workers to return to the job at the same pay scales and working conditions. Eight of those plants are in the Salem area, two more here. Later, a spokesman for the man agement negotiating teom, who re fused use of his name, said any jobs vacant after work resumes Monday will be filled with non union men. He said that work will be started despite any pickets. The spokes man added that he expected some union members to return to work. At Salem, a spokesman for the union said he doubted that any Teomsters would go across the picket lines. The union's contract expired last Dec. 31. The Teamsters have asked, among other things, an im mediate wage increase of 35 cents an hour. The company has offered a 35 cent boost, but wants it spread over a three-year period.
