Military Planes Join FAA Control System By ROBERT J. SERLING WASHINGTON (UPI) The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) is bringing all military aircraft on interceptor missions under its Air Traffic Control (ATC) System. The move is designed to reduce the possibility of collisions be- daylight, in clear weather and in the en route portion of the flight (contrary to a common belief that the congested airspace near air ports is the main breeding ground for incidents). Filing an IFR (instrument flight rules) plan offers no full protection if the other guy . tween fast-flying fighters a n d flying VFR (visual flight rule); in private planes. The FAA has tried out the COnceDt in the Imlianannlis. Detroit and Chicago Air Traffic Control Center areas with "very successful" results. This major air safety action was revealed in the FAA's monthly publication "Aviation News," which contained a digest of a the agency's top ATC official, David Thomas. Thomas said nearly half of the 2,500 near-collisions reported to the FAA in the past five years in volved military aircraft. Several near-misses between fighters and airliners have occurred this year. Changeover Soon Thomas said as soon as ex panded equipment and personnel requirements are met, all inter cept activities will be under ATC guidance except for the actual intercept portion of a mission. He said the FAA also is provid ing personnel to assist the Air Defense Command in setting ud a training program for all personnel in fighter-intercept operations. The civilian agency also is encouraging the military to conduct as many flights as possible under the FAA's ATC system such as filing instrument flight plans which en ables ATC to keep better track of military aircraft. Thomas said the FAA's study of 2.500 near-collision reports since 1958 showed that: About 20 collisions involving civil aircraft occur each year. This rate has been fairly consistent since the immediate post World War II days. Luck Not Skill Sixty to 100 incidents annually were so close that collision avoid ance was pure luck rather than resulting from evasive action by pilots. Most "near-misses" occur in 1962 alone, there were 156 near collisions between planes operating IFR presumably in protected air space, and aircraft flying VFR. For no apparent reason, Thursday is the "most prevalent day for near-accidents." Thomas said there are four main causes of near collisions: trying to fly without guidance from the federal ATC system too much reliance on radar with out understanding its limitations, lack of pilot vigilance, and con troller error. The FAA official said the agency is striving to reduce control in structions to a minimum to pre vent overburdening of already busy pilots i Mon., Oct. 7, 1963 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 3 SERVICES HELD Funeral services were held today for Dr. Roy Leland Dunn, well known chiropractic physician of Roseburg.

JKISM Pk. 672-1606 CHIHUAHUA, Mexico (UPI) Fourteen Americans and three Mexicans who were feared lost in the wild canyon country of north western Mexico are all safe, a pilot reported from the scene said today. Jesus Acosta Munoz, a pilot who took U.S. Vice Consul Robert Homer to the area where the men were feared lost radioed back that all were safe. Acosta Munoz said he was able to land and talk with the explor ers and said they were in good shape. Three Mexicans were with the Americans. The semi-scientific group ran short of food when their rubber rafts got into deadly rapids, pro truding boulders and had to por tage their floats over jagged ob stacles. Dean said some days they floated only 100 yards. Hopes For Escape Dean expressed hope the ex plorers may have scaled the brush-littered walls of Barranca de Cobrc (Copper Canyon) and started walking through the mountainous country toward civ ilization.

Mrs. Hummel said matters for discussion will be the budget and the program for the coming year. At this week's meeting of the PTA, the following officers were elected: Mrs. Otto Feucht, presi- dent; Vivian Furrier, vice presi dent; Mary Tollefson, treasurer; Mrs. Bob Templeton, historian; and Otto Feucht, parliamentarian. Training Program Set For Camp Fire Leaders The Camp Fire Leaders Associ ation will meet Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 for a special training session for all Bluebird and Camp Fire leaders. The meeting will take place in the basement of the Presbyterian Church. Baby sitters will be provided. Two vice-consuls for the United States from Juarez, Robert O. Homme and Ralph G. Thorsland were with the flying searchers. They carried walkie talkies and planned to drop one to the party, if it were found. The canyon, a slender gap in the rugged terrain falling from the Continental Divide eastward, is heavily overgrown and so nar row that helicopters would face danger in descending. Updraft winds also are hazards. A Mexican government plane was used today along with a heli copter furnished by Gonzales ller rera, secretary of the state of Chihuahua. The plane had been in the search since Dean brought back word of the dilemma. Dean and Larry Davis of Price, Utah, were ordered by the expe dition leader, John L. Cross of Orem, Utah, to leave the main party Sept. 28 and forge ahead to a copper mine where a cache of supplies was available. They planned a one-day trip to the food, but it took four days of swimming, plunging over wa terfalls, walking and scaling until two Indians found them. The two had not eaten in two ' days and Dean was ill. Took Supplies Back Davis, together with three Mex icans, . battled, back into tho .wilds with supplies for the 14. Dean traveled , by burro, truck and rail to this city for help and medical care. He was hospitalized with multiple bruises and abra sions and suffered from fatigue. Missing adventurers, besides Davis, were Cross, 34; his son, John L. Cross Jr., 21, and daugh ter , Janice Cross, 19, also of Orem; M. Vern Thurber, in his 70s, of Orem; C. E. Barton of Milmada, La Canada, Calif.; . A. Moore of Burbank, Calif. Mary Ellen O'Reilly, 26, of Black Lick, Pa.; Dr. Willmer Jr. Tanner of Provo, Utah; and Dr. Fred Bischoff, 64, Al Morion, Ward J. and Bill Roylance and Leroy M. Sessions, 59, all of Salt Lake City. The group started the trip Sept. 25, and had allowed 10 days for the journey. Dean said he be lieved they were the first North Americans to try the 120-mile trip. "Our primary interest was to conquer the river," Dean said. SALEM (UPI) The Democratic State Central Committee Sunday postponed election of a new Dem ocratic national committeeman for Oregon for want of a voting quorum. The election of a successor to C. Girard Davidson was post poned to Oct. 27. But at Sunday's meeting the Democratic group voted unani mous censure of the Republican State Central Committee for its lailure to take a stand on the tax increase measure. The Democrats also voted to h'old their 1964 pre-primary plat form convention at Corvallis on Feb. 29-March 1. This will mark the first time the meeting has not been held in Salem. More than 700 delegates are expected to attend the convention. The Republican State Central Committee met Saturday in Port land, but refused to take a stand on the Oct. 15 tax referendum. "Dismay Expressed" The Democrats voted unani mously for a resolution express ing "dismay at the failure of the state Republican organization to take action in support of the tax." The Democratic group voted unanimously to support a yes vote in the Oct. 15 election. Democrats also adopted a reso lution expressing sorrow at the death Friday night in an auto accident of Rep. W. O. Kelsay, D-Roseburg. Sunday's meeting was called to elect a successor to uaviason, who has served for seven years as national committeeman. Nineteen delegates were need. ed for the vote. Seventeen ac credited delegates, plus several with Droxv authority were on hand, but the committee decided against honoring the proxy votes. The committee also decided not to accept Davidson s resignation until after the Oct. 27 meeting which will be held at 1 p.m. at Harris Hall on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. In a lenethv resignation speech Davison said he was opposed to selection of national committee man by popular vote. "The party organization is in the best position to make a suit able choice," he said. "Through a party convention we can be more assured of getting the best qualified candidate and also the most deserving one. Pic? 8 rale!
