U.S. political
spotlight to
turn on state
MEDFORD (UPI) The Demo
crats could capture a majority of
the Board of Control and retain
their leadership of the legislature
"unless we out-organize and out
work them," Gov. Mark Hatfield
warned Jackson County Republi
cans Here today.
In a speech prepared for deliv
ery at a Republican picnic in
Touvelle Park northeast of here.
the governor also noted "The na-
tional political spotlight will be on
Oregon twice in the next six
months."
He cited the convening of West
ern Republicans in conference at
Eugene Oct. 10-12, and said he
was pleased both Sen. Barry Gold-
water, R-Anz., and New York
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller will be
present.
"Their appearance in Oregon in
October could well determine
whether or not they will be back
in the spring for our pivotal pri
mary election," Hatfield com
mented. .
To Attend Maeting
Hatfield also announced he
would attend a meeting of the Re
publican Governors' Association
in Denver, Colo., Sept. 14.
"The significance of the forma
tion of this association is to pro
vide another channel of communi
cation to the national committee
in its policy formulation.
"The governors will join Senate
and House leadership and the na
tional committee as full team
members rather than ? casually
consulted observers as had been
too much the case in the past."
Hatfield said he expected most
of the governors would be present
Including Rockefeller, William
Scran ton of Fennsylva ia and
George Romney of Michigan.
Rockefeller, Scranton, Romney
end Goldwater are isesently the
leading contenders for next year's
Republican presidential nomina
tion. Hatfield, often mentioned as a
-vine- pMiiAaAiat possibility, has
avoided directing his support to
any one of the four front runners.
Turning to Oregon's economic
picture, Hatfield told the group
that the Medford area is one of
the healthiest in the state from
the standpoint of continuing high
employment.
He noted that during the recent
wood products labor dispute there
were no plant closures in the
Medford area.
Hatfield cited the need for di
versification of the state's indus
trial base. He noted that 72 new
plant openings or expansions dur
ing the first six months of this
year provided 2,248 new jobs, and
represented an investment of $45.5
million.
Japanese plane
feared down
YOKOHAMA, Japan (UPI)
A chartered Japanese four-engine
airliner with 19 persons aboard
was missing off the coast of cen
tral Japan today and is feared to
have crashed. No Americans were
believed aboard.
Th nlane was chartered by a
group of Japanese businessmen
for a Mgnt trom nacniju, unc
the "seven isles of Izu," a popu
lar sea resort region off the
coast of Japan's main island of
Honshu.
It left the airport at Hachijo,
J 80 miles southwest of Tokyo,
with 16 passengers, two crewmen
and one stewardess, at 2:24 p.m.
(1:24 a.m. EDT). It had fuel for
a three-hour flight and was due
at Tokyo's International Airport
at 3:39 p.m. (2:39 a.m. EDT).
When it failed to arrive, a mas
sive search and rescue effort was
launched by the Japanese Mari
time Safety Agency, which ex
pressed fear for the life of those
on board.
Two other planes chartered ny

at checkpoint
BERLIN (UPI) The U. S.
Army reinforced the guard at the
Checkpoint Charlie crossing point
into East Berlin today and
clamped tight security measures
at the Communist wall to prevent
new riots on the anniversary of
tne fatal snooting of a youthful
refugee a year ago.
An "alert squad" of 10 soldiers
In combat gear was sent to the
checkpoint to reinforce the 10
men normally stationed there.
The 10 soldiers wore steel hel
mets and carried rifles with bay
onets.
Earlier, West Berlin police im
posed strict security precautions
at the Red-build anti-refugee wall
under American orders to head
off any trouble.
Police stood by to intervene at
the first sign of trouble on the
anniversary of the death of Pe
ter Fechter, an 18-year-old East
Berlin construction worker who
bled to death at the wall last
year.
Processions to the wall to lay
wreaths at a 10-fool-high cross
dedicated to Fechter 130 yards
from "Checkpoint Charlie" were
not banned.
But Deputy Mayor Heinrich
Alberts, who is in charge of the
police, told them to use all ap
propriate means to "nip any dis
order in the bud."
The security measures were
prompted by reports reaching
police that the young hoodlums
who rioted on the second anni
versary of the wall last Tuesday
planned to use today's anniver
sary as a pretext to go on the
rampage again.
Police said that, at American
orders, a plan was drawn up to
prevent crowds from gathering
at the cross or at Checkpoint
Charlie, crossing point for foreigners.
Near Okinawa
58 persons missing
in sinking of ferry
NAHA. Okinawa (UPI) A Ja
panese inter-island ferryboat with
209 persons aboard, including four
American servicemen, capsized
and sank near this U.S. Pacific
island fortress today.
Naha police said that as of 8:50
p.m. 7:50 a.m. EDTl, 151 per
sons had been rescued but two
of them died later. Two of the
Americans were saved, and the
other two were among the 58 per
sons still missing.
The names of the Americans
were not known, police said.
The ferryboat was the 300 -ton
Modori Maru. It left Naha's port
of Tomari at 11 a.m. (10 p.m.
EDT Friday) on a regularly
scheduled trip to Kume Island,
about 50 miles nest of Naha. It
i carried 194 passengers, mostly
! grade and middle school students,
and a 15-man crew.

Better chance
for bracero
action seen
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Rep.
Charles M. Teague, R-Calif.. said
todav that honns for pvlancinn
of the Mexican farm lahnr nrn-
the program for bringing bracer
os into the United States to help
harvest crops.
The Californians, both members
of the House Agriculture Com
mittee, were asked for comment
on the Senate's action in votinj
to extend the program for one
year.
The senate voted 63 lo 24 to
extend the program but tacked on
an amendment requiring farmers
to offer housing, transportation
and other benefits to domestic
workers before being allowed to
use bracero labor.
December Deadline
The house earlier this year
turned down a simple two-year
extension of the program. Unless
extended, the program will die
December 31.
Both Teague and Hagen, inter
viewed separately, agreed that
the amendment by Sen. Eugene
J. McCarthy, D-Minn.. might
make the program "unworkable."
Teague said congressmen from
bracero - using states probably
would meet early next week to
plan their course of action. He
said they might push for a bill
calling for a simple one year ex
tension. If successful, he said,
this would force a House-Senate
conference on the differing ver
sions.
Hagen said any effort in the
House probably would be on the,
basis of a simple one year ex
tension, but said he was not op
timistic that it could pass since
the House already had rejected
a two year extension.
Farmers Must Plan
On the other hand, Hagen said,
the bill with the Senate amend
ment might be unacceptable to
most growers. Even a simple one
year extension, he said, would be
"relatively useless" because farm
ers had to plan their crops far
in advance.
The McCarthy amendment calls
for domestic workers to get work
men's compensation, housing,
transportation and a guarantee
of a minimum amount of work
all benefits now granted to the
Mexican workers.
Teague said the amendment
had even gone beyond changes
asked by the Kennedy Administra
tion in requiring farmers to
guarantee U. S. workers a min
imum number of days of work.
Another problem, he said, was
the requirement for "comparable"
housing. The Mexicans, who come
with their families, are provided
barracks-type housing, while dom
estic workers are expected to
demand family housing. The de
partment of labor presumably
would have to determine what
would be "comparable" in such
cases.

Wallace sets
5 civil rights
resolutions
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,

George C. Wallace, who has hint
ed that he may enter some presi
dential prunanes next year.
plans to present five civil rights
resolutions to the Southern Gov
ernors Conference which gets un
der way here Sunday.
The "fighting little judge," an
nounced in Montgomery Friday
that he will present the touchy
resolutions and ask the governors
to go on record in opposition to
President Kennedy s proposed civ
il rights measures.
In so doing, Wallace may let
loose a hornet's nest similar to
the civil rights eontrovery that
erupted last month in Miami
Beach at the National Governors
Conference.
The conferences traditionally
avoid controversial issues. Last
year, at the Southern Governors
Conference in Hollywood, Fla.,
the chief executives operated un
der a gentlemen's agreement that
the touchy civil rights issue would
not be brought formally before
the group.
Fifteen Attend
The conference here lasts
through Wednesday. Seventeen I
southern and border state gover
nors ore members, but only 15
will be present.
So many of the southern, and
border states governors meeting
have adopted moderate postures
on civil lights that majorities in
favor of Wallace's resolutions ap
pear impossible, even if the Ala
bama governor attempts to force
the issue.
Wallace has not said what he
would do if the conference reso
lution committee declines to re
port his five . proposals to the
floor to adopt them. .
Named By Chairman
The five-man committee that
will consider the resolutions in
executive session, is not a
standing committee. It will be
named by conference chairman
Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas
after the four-day meeting begins.
Wallace's resolutions would put
the southern governors on record
in calling for defeat of the Ken
nedy administration civil rights
program in Congress, denouncing
use of federal troops to enforce
school desegregation orders, and
protesting the massive civil rights
march planned in Washington
Aug. 28.

SAN JUAN DE LOS MORROS,
Venezuela (UPI) Prison gates
clanged shut Friday night behind
ex-President Marcos Perez Jime
nez, first refugee ex-chief of a
Latin American state ever extra
dited from a nation where he had
sought asylum.
Authorities in the United States
surrendered Perez to Venezuelan
police Friday to face trial on
charges of embezzling about $13.5
million while he was in power.
A chartered Venezuelan DC6
flew Perez, under heavy guard,
from Miami to Palo Negro Air
port, where he was transferred
to a weapon-heavy police convoy
for the 27-mile drive to the fed
eral prison here.
Police and troops by the dozen,
armed with pistols, rifles, car
bines and submachine guns, con
voyed Perez to the prison or
stood guard along the route.
The ex-president was greeted
by cheers and shouts of "Viva
Perez Jimenez! in each village
along the route from the airport,
but there were no disorders.
Newsmen were not allowed to
talk to Perez at the airport or
at the prison.
The ex-president, who spent
eight months in a Miami jail
while his attorneys fought in vain
to prevent his extradition, ap
peared haggard, stoop-shouldered
and baggy-eyed when he arrived
here Friday night.
As a former chief of state, he
will have special privileges dur
ing his trial, which is expected to
begin late this year and continue
into 1964.
A special three-cell "suite"
walled off from the rest of '
prison has been prepared for
him at San Juan Penitentiary,
and an army orderly will serve
him breakfast in bed. He will not
be required to wear prison uni
form or to conform to the usual

A lava cave in Lake county, 54

The meeting place, unique in the
history of the Chamber, was the

British seek
more loot
in train case
LONDON (UPI) British po
lice, asserting that the loot from
last week's $7.3 million mail
train robbery has become "too
hot to handle," said today they
expect to find money "in all
sorts of places."
Metropolitan police raided Lon
don homes while their country
colleagues combed Britain's
woods and fields in a massive
"treasure hunt" for the rest of
the loot.
Abandoned banknotes worth
$282,620 were discovered in some
woods in Surrey Friday, leading
officials to speculate that mem
bers of the daring ring of thieves
were panicking.
"We feel that there is booty
to be found in all sorts of places"
detective superintendent Mai-
com Fewtrell. in charge of
Buckinghamshire police, told re
porters. "In fact we know there
will be."
"We have winkled (flushed)
these people out earlier than
they wanted and I have no doubt
that this money is embarrassing
to them," Fewtrell said.
Asked whether he believed
more arrests were imminent,
Fewtrell said, "I hope they are.
There Is no reason at all to lose
hone."
Friday night police appealed to
the general public to watch out
for clues in the case, such as
freshly dug holes where the loot
might be "hidden. Fewtrell said
police received about 20 tips at
a result.

that hat been designated by

ing there may be of value to the
lunar explorers. This weekend Dr.
Green is concluding the second
phase of his studies of volcanic
features of Central Oregon, in an
attempt to interpret surface fea
tures on the moon.
One of the questions asked is:
Can caves on the moon be located
through pre-landing probes? Per
liminary studies at the Derrick
Caves indicate that they can be
spotted from the lunar sky.
It also appears that surface hot
or cool spots on the moon can be
located from the Apollo vehicle
which may be used in the lunar
probe.
The Chamber directors, eating
their lunch under a massive la
va arch back in Derrick Cave,
heard Dr. Green discuss the lu
nar probe and the purposes of the
Derrick Cave studies.
Two tons of railroad steel taken
into the cave were heated Friday,
and flyover tests through use of
Pacific Northwest Bell plane
were made in an attempt to locate
the rail heat through the thick
lava ceiling. Results of this study
are not yet known.
Chamber directors made the
trip to the cave in a large car
provided by Pacific Trauways,
with Marion Cady. Chamber
manager, as the driver.
The directors met Dr. Green
and his assistant, Joe Kennedy, at
the cave.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Rail
union leaders today called for
negotiated settlement of the so
called minor issues of the rail

submission of the two key issues
to binding arbitration.
In a joint letter to Congress,
tlie five unions made their agree
ment Friday to arbitration of tha
critical firemen and crew make
up issues contingent on prior
agreement on the other remain
ing issues. '
Clarification of the union's posi
tion In the strike-threatening dis
pute came as the snarl appeared
on the verge of settlement with
Friday's announcement that the
unions had accepted in principle
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtz's proposal for arbitration.
Exhaustive Study . '
A presidential fact-finding com
mission which made an exhaus
tive study of the long dispute re
ported earlier this year that it did
not believe the issues aside from
firemen and crew makeup would

Tf no solution vaa reached on
the secondary issue by Deo. 15,
the issus would be subjected to

said.
'Management spokesmen have
said to us many times in collec

that they believe (hat if these
manning issues were disposed of
tne other issues in this dispute
would be handled with dispatch.
After Disposition
"We will agree to arbitrate the
firemen's question and the 'crew
consist' question in a binding
form immediately followine the
disposition in collective bargain
ing of the remaining Issues in
this case," the letter said. . , .
The two main Issues to be sub

Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtz. are:
The extent and speed of elim

the procedures and help for these
men once they are jobless. '
The size of crews on trains.
This Is known as "crew consist"

The issues which would be ne
gotiated demands by the rail
roads:
Interdivisional service, which
would require crews to extend
their runs beyond one railroad di
vision. Road crews would be re
quired to do yard work and yard
crews would be required to do
road work.
Other Issues Listed
Makeup of crews for self pro

Adjustment of the basis pay
system, from the present combi
nation of mileage and hours.

troublesome problem."
The letter added:
"We solemnly pledge to Imme
