Bum pass walked to free dom today with his injured head scathed in bandages and said the treatment he received by the Com munis ts who shot down his plane was "O.K., considering the cir cumstances." A few moments later the Reds httnded over a wooden casket con- taining the body of Army Capt. Charles VV. Brown of West Louis ville, Kv.. who was killed a week ago when "trigger happy" Red gunners shot down the light plane piloted by Bumpass. IMeuse Delayed Bumpass, 23, of Jackson, Miss, arrived at this lonely exchange siot in a white ambulance. He stuod wen ring the flight suit in which he crashed, two Communist nurses at his side, while the United Nations Command negotiated thi final details of his release. Bumpass' return to freedom was delayed ten minutes while the U.N Command insisted that the Com munists turn over the wounded man before delivering the casket of the dead Army captain. Because of the lieutenant's phy sical condition, the American offi cers said, he should be returned first. The Reds hesitated a few minutes and then agreed. They in dicated earlier Bumpass had suf fered a fractured skull. Lt. Col. Harold Dye of Atlanta. Ga., head of the U.N. joint observ er team in the area, formally received Bumpass and the body of the dead captain, He signed a receipt and handed it to the Reds.

Board Passes Up Dietz Building Bend school board members last night; discussed with-John Sten kamp, receiver, the possibility- of purchase of the Dletz Manufactur ing Co. building on Glenwood to house senior high school shops. Ke- suits were nil. The board made no offer but Di rector Gordon W. McKay did sug gest that he didn't think that the district should pay more than $10, 000 if it were buying. Other directors did not disagree, but Stenkamp said he couldn't ac cept that amount for the property. He was willing to sell the specif ied woodworking equipment for $677.50, however, and the board voted to buy. It also authorized Su perintendent R. E. Jewell to pur chase an additional unit, a large belt sander, for $100. Stenkamp revealed that he was considering an offer of $20,000 in cluding heavy equipment in which the school board was not interest ed and excluding the light equip ment which the board desired. He thought that an answer might be required of him today. Shop building was left out of the senior high school construction contract this spring as one of the economies resorted to to brine costs within the yield of the bond issue.

State Reluctant to Take Action At Franklin-E 3rd Intersection The state highway department is collision toll. reluctant to undertake any major project at the E. 3rd street and Franklin avenue intersection until it has some indication of the 'long range plans for movement of traf fic through Bend and the part E. 3rd might play fh those plans. This observation was made at a meeting here Monday between of ficials of the highway department, headed by Bruce Crandall of the traffic division of the department. and city officials. Crandall pointed out that in the five and one-half vear period be tween Jan. 1, 1950. and July 1. 1955. a total of 36 reDortnble auto mobile accidents had taken place at th Intersection. None of them Involved fatalities, but some In lured as many as three persons.! he said. I About half the accidents hap pened during the hours of dark ness, he said, Indicating that im proved street lighting at the inter1 section might help cut dovn the, Under the circumstances, with a city street acting also as the state highway, the state probably would split Jhe costs with the city of improving the lighting at the corner, he said. j City Manager Walter T. Thomp-j son, presiding at the meeting, said, the city has no present plans for changing the lighting at the in-' tersection. Such a change might bp made in the future, he said, but at present city lighting funds are earmarked for other projects, j Thompson said the city was con-i corned about the traffic situation at the intersection, because a re cent traffic count hud shown move ment In all four directions to be heavier than previously supposed. "Within about a year we'll have students using the new high school, and they will have to cross that Intersection. Unless some planning Is done on the sit uation, the school traffic alone might be enough to overload Franklin and back traffic up at a corner, Thompson said. To a suggestion that signals might help the coming situation Crandall pointed out that for sig nals to do any good, more space would have be devoted to the in tersection. This would mean the purchase of additional right-of-way, re-grad-groding the corner and a major project costing in the neighbor hood of $50-75.000. he SHid. Until the highway department has some idea of the city's long range plans, he said, the depart ment would not want to undertake such a project. The highway group spent much of the afternoon with Thompson, going over all highways located within the city limits, looking at them from both a traffic and a future construction point of view. Thompson said the next move would be up to the city, but prob ably would not be made until after additional traffic and engineering studies. Hearing-Planned On Road Issue The U.S. Forest service has re quested the Oregon state highway commission to accept the mainte nance responsibility for the Clear lake cutoff highway project, it was learned here today.

The Springfield Chamber of Commerce has taken the lead in arranging for t h Ai.g. 25 meeting. p.m. Saturday along Sixth Street Parade participants are asked to assemble at Sixth and Cedar an hour before. Request Mllde Morris also noted that persons having flat bed trucks they are willing to lend for the parade should call Jack Elliott. Often at the last minute, he says, the pa rade chairmen receive requests from float entrants for such trucks. The parade will turn west on Glacier, dispersing shortly after except for mounted units which will go to the fair grounds. The Saddle club will help with parking and traffic.
