FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE I ' With the extension of labor control measures, developed ir. critical west coast labor centers since last November, to the rest of the state and nation, a flurry of questions have besieged the local office of the United States Employment Service. ; For example, "Do the extend ed regulations cover all man power in Oregon?", Is a question asked again and again by both employers and employees. The answer, as given by Man agei Lewis Ulrich, Is "Yes ex cept or men employed in agri cultural pursuits or in the log ging and lumbering industries." Agriculture, says Mr. Ulrich, has been specifically excluded from the labor stabilization sys tem, and the logging and lum bering Industries operate under a modified program providing a more fluid shifting of men from Job to Job within the industry without "priority referral" ex cept for men who wish to leave logging or lumbering Jobs for some other occupation.

COTTON SEERSUCKER DRESSES in large sixes 14'a, A iA .tOwA Friday, June 30. 1944 ral?" Is another question Mr. Ulrich undertook to answer. Priority referral, according to Mr. Ulrich, is a voluntary meth od, agreed upon by labor, man agement and government not to hire any man unless he has been sent to fill that particular Job by the United States Employ ment Service or another "refer ral" agency. A system of man power priorities will be set-up as a means of channeling worK c.ri to critically urgent projects which are behind schedules. In logging and lumbering oc cupations, a worker may move from one Job to any other where there is an opening within the Industry provided only he has a special "release" (pink) form from his last employer. He can' not be hired, however, by any person outside the lumber indus try unless he has been sent spe cifically to that Job by the Unit- ed States Employment Service. The extension of the labor controls beyond the Portland Vancouver area does not mater ially affect any worker within that area. Outside the Portland- Vancouver area, employment ceilings and manpower allow ances will not be used, Mr. Ul rich added. These controls are needed only in critically-short labor areas. In Jackson county the priority referral area is composed of the city of Medford, plus the Timber Products company and Medford Corporation plants at the north city limits of Medford, plus the federal government installations In the vicinity of Medford. (Camp White and the Ordnance Service Command shops.) This new program becomes effective July 6th and applies only to the priority referral area. There is no change from present procedures in the rest of the county. RAPID-FIRE DIVORCE Chicago, June 30.

There were 9,400 traffic deaths from Jan. 1 to May 31, this year, compared to 8,440 for the same period in 1943 and 13,914 for the first five months of 1941, the council reported. While the figures showed an Increase of 11 per cent between this year and last year, traffic deaths for the first five months of 1944 were 33 per cent below the January-May, 1941 figure, figure. Col. John Stllwell, president of the council, said that the traf fic situation is serious as the nation is entering its peak traf fic fatality season, which usual ly begins with the Fourth of July and extends through the vacation months Into October, WISECRACK NETS YEAR IN POKEY Pittsburgh, June 30 (U.R) A crack by William J. McCracken in criminal court yesterday brought about a crack by Judge Alexander Cooper which will give McCracken a whole year not to make any more cracks. Charged with choking his wife, Cecilia, after she found him with another woman, Mc Cracken was asked by the Judge whether he would stay away from the "other woman.". "That's pretty hard to say," retorted McCracken. The judge snapped: "It won't be so hard, maybe one year in the workhouse." WESLEY LING REPORTED MISSING IN AIR RAID Ashland, June 30 Mrs. Vivien Ling, of Burbank, Calif., who is here visiting her mother, Mrs. Lillian Greer, has received word that her son, Wesley, an officer in the U. S. Air Corps, had been reported missing in action, but that a fellow officer stated the flier and his crew had bailed out, apparently suc cessfully. Wesley, who . has since this action been promoted from first lieutenant to captain, was over enemy territory in France on June 11 when forced to bail out. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Ling, are hopeful that he and his crew were sheltered by some friendly Frenchmen and were relieved to learn that -there is hope that he survived the bailing out.

Many the beaches in Normandy, a were startled by the sudden gorgeous rainbow spanned the flare of light, those indoors morning sky, to them a token of coming allied success. But over far-away Oregon, at about the i same time, a blazing meteor tore across the heavens, seem ingly intent on announcing something of great importance. The fireball's flight occurred at 10:24 p. m., P.W.T., and since radio stations were soon telling the news that the invasion had started, this fireball was promptly dubbed the "Invasion Meteor." The fireball was variously de scribed is being large as the moon,' half a football, a huge ball of blue flame, a bright green bail, etc. Several agreed that it broke into three pieces, but some had these all flying off in the final explosion, while others said these pieces de tached themselves at various places along the turbulent path. Many mention a red, yellow, or i green shower of sparks. That it was very brilliant is certain, for the landscape was i few seconds when approximate lighted many times brighter I ly 20 miles above the ocean.

U thinking it was lightning, The American Meteor Society was . concerned in determining the fireball's path and in find ing any fragments which might have reached earth. L. E. Ordeman on Beaumont Hill, Portland, saw the fireball disappear slightly east of the Veterans Hospital on Marquam Hill several miles across the city. Measurement showed this was about 50 degrees south of west. At Thurston, over 100 miles south, Ben H. Pruitt noted the explosion appeared close to Regulus, a star then 10 degrees south of weit. Now by drawing lines of sight from Portland and Thurston and continuing them until they cross, we locate the final explosion locality as over the Pacific ocean about 25 miles west of the coast. Deduc tions indicate the meteor be- came visible west of Crater Lake, traveled northwesterly and became non-luminous in a large cargo planes In addition to the regular air express service and was flown at a three-mlle-a-mlnute speed from the United States to South America.
