AF Orders
Starfighters
Grounded
HAMILTON AFB, Calif. (UPI)
The Air Force has ordered its
fastest and newest fighter-inter
cept o r, the F104 Starfighter,
grounded for modification. .
The order came from Washing
ton and applied to all Starfighters
in the country.
The order came after Capt
Iven C. Kincheloe, 29, who flew
higher in space than any man
alive," was killed recently near
Yuma, Airz., in the crash of an
F104.
The Air Force had intended
Kincheloe to fly a rocket-powered
o ane 60 miles into the atmosphere.
The Starfighter Was grounded
once before. That was shortly al
ter Col. Raymond Evans, com
manding officer of the 83rd Fight
er Interceptor .Squadron, was kil
led while attempting to land one
at Hamilton AFB on March 3.
The Air Force said "excessive
vibration" was to .blame for the
crash that killed Evans.
A spokesman for the 83rd,
which flies the' missile-like planes,
said of the latest grounding:
"It's just like on auto. After
six months you' stop and tighten
the bolts."
Maj. Robert Merrill of Hamil
ton AFB said "experience has in
dicated that certain modifications
will improve the overall efficiency
of the plane."
The F104 was introduced at
Hamilton AFB last Feb. 20.

County Fair
Booth Pointers
In Bulletin
The county fair is as much a
part of the American tradition as
barn 'dancing or .'baseball. But
the county fair is now changing
to keep up with the modern Am-
ican way of life and community
fair booths should reflect this
trend, according to a new bulle
tin released by the Oregon State
college extension sevice.
The number of farmers has de
creased through the years, and
many communities have turned to
-trades other than agriculture, the
bulletin points out. Continuing
its traditional role as a "show
window" for communities, the
fair now tells the story of fores
try, manufacturing, recreation,
and many other enterprises as
well as agriculture.
Written to help individuals,
clubs or organizations - tell the
story of their community most
successfully, the new bulletin
suggests a step-by-stcp method of
pianning a community booth. De
termining who will see the booth,
what it is to say, selection- of a
theme,, and sketching a plan arc
discussed.
The bulletin also lists attracti
veness, story-telling ability, and
simplicity as keys to good booth
design. How to develop a cen
ter of interest, use of color, and
ways to. keep the booth, balanced
yet simple are discussed with the
use of colored illustrations. In:
formation is given on materials
that can be used in buildings
booth.
Titled, "Planning a Community
Fair Booth," the bulletin was pre
pared by Dwight Fairbanks and
Curtis Reid, OSC extension visual
instruction specialists, in cooper
ation with the extension staffs at
the state college of Washington
and the. Uniyersi;y of Idaho.
' Oregon residents can get a copy
of the new bulletin at their local

Hof fa Denies
Payoff In
Senate Quiz
By ARNOLD SAWISLAK
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) The Sen
ate Rackets : Committee gave
James R. Hoffaa breather today
and began trying to find out
whether administration pressure
cut short a 1953' congressional in
vestigation of the Teamsters chief.
The committee called Payne
Rattner, former governor of Kan
sas, for testimony.
Chief counsel Robert F. Kenne
dy said Rattner was retained by
the Teamsters five years ago in
connection with -a House investi
gation headed by Reps. Clare E.
Hoffman (R-Mich.) and Wint
Smith IR-Kan,).,..
The Hoffman-Smith inquiry into
the affairs of Hoffa and Team
sters welfare funds in Detroit end
ed abruptly after a few days of
hearings. The' breakup was fol
lowed by charges that pressure
from "high places" in the admin
istration was responsible for cut
ting short the investigation.
Hoffa apparently was due for
time on the sidelines after a day
of charges, denials and counter
charges Tuesday.
Robert Scott, now a Michigan
state barbers' examiner but once
a Teamsters official in Detroit,
swore Hoffa asked him to inter
cede with . a stale judge to seek
a second trial for Harry Fleisch
er, ' reputed leader of the Motor
City's notorious purple gang."
Scott also said a Pontiac, Mich.,
Teamsters member, Daniel Keat
ing, told him Keating had shaken
down an employer for $35,000 and
"had to give it to Jimmy Hoffa1."
Hoffa was not 'asked about
Scott's testimony in regard to the
state judge, Oakland County,
Mich.. Circuit Judge George B.
Hartrick who died of an apparent
heart attack Tuesday in San Fran
cisco. But Hoffa flatly denied re
ceiving the alleged Pontiac pay
off. 'Blind Bomber' Given
5-Year Prison Term
PORTLAND (UPIl '.William
Clarence Peddicord. the "blind
bomber" of a Portland depart-,
