Week of Vital
Labor Disputes
Facing Country

Mercy Plane's Emergency Trip
May Have Saved Woman's Life
Another life has presumably
been saved by Jackson coun
ty's Mercy Flights ambulance
plane.
"Rogue's Wings o' Mercy," the
twin-engined ambulance ship,
Friday flew from Medford to
Lakcview, picked up a badly in
jured Medford woman and took
her to Portland, where she is re-
Eorted doing well at Providence
ospital.
The woman, Mrs. Margie Lor
raine Holt. 22. and her husband,
Eugene, both of Medford. were
injured in an automobile acci
dent near Lakcview early Thurs
day morning. They were both
hospitalized. Mrs. Holt with a
broken back. According to Mer
cy Flights officials, physicians at
Lakcview said that she might be
paralyzed for life, and might not
survive if she did not receive a
delicate operation on her dam
aged .pine, and soon. Nearest fa
cilities for such an operation
Both the railroad and tele
phone strikes are scheduled to
start next Wednesday, but offi
cials bf the CIO communications
workers in negotiations at New
York announced that 11,000
Western Electric installation
workers will walk off the job
Monday unless settlement of a
side issue is reached.
The big telephone strike Wed
nesday also would involve about
21,000 long lines operators in 40
states and 5.500 repair and sales
employees. Efforts to settle the
dispute with installation work
ers failed after a four-hour meet
ing today, but further attempts
were scheduled for tomorrow.
Walkouts already had begun
among the installation workers.
However, if all installation work
ers walk out Monday there still
would be no major disruption
of telephone service because the
union said no picket lines would
be set up and other telephone
workers will continue on the job
until Wednesday at least.
Came Before Truce End
The installation walkouts
among members of the union's
district 6 came four days before
expiration of a 60-day "truce"
arranged by President Truman.
They began in Oregon. Washing
ton. Idaho and New York and
spread to other states.
The walkouts were precipitat
ed by an alleged "lockout and
firing' of about 100 installation
workers at South Bend. Ind. But
at Indianapolis, telephone com
pany officials denied there was
a lockout. They said 100 workers
had staged a 25-day work stop
page, refusing to cross muddy
fields to work on television tow
ers under construction across
northern Indiana.
Little Hope Seen
In the rail dispute, there ap
ocared to be little hope of head
ing off a walkout by 18.000
firemen and enginemen against
four rail systems comprising sev
en major roads and numerous
subsidiaries.
The Southern railway, one of
the south's heaviest freight and
cotton haulers, announced it
would suspend all freight, pas
senger and mail service if the
strike is called.

Large Turnout ;
Urged for Voting

officials of consolidated district
No. 6 yesterday pointed to over
crowded facilities and urged a
large turnout at the polls on
Monday, April 24, when school
patrons will revote on a $500,-
000 bond issue.
The bond measure, for con
structing a new high school at

affirmed by voters in November.
However, the second election is
necessary to satisfy a Portland
bonding attorney who questioned
the legality of the issue.

gymnasium.
Persons registered in precinct
69 (Central Point west), 70 (Cen
tral Point northeast), 71 (Central

tion. School officials said that in
creased enrollments have over
crowded present rooms and as
lower grades of 100 or more

there is no place to put them.
Moving the present high school
here out will provide at least
nine more rooms and care for
future growth for some time.

other papers were returned.
They said they signed a docu
ment stating they had not been

'Very Mysterious'
Developments Seen
In Amerasia Theft
Full Story Will
Reveal Spy Network
Washington, Apr. 22 Sen.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper, (R la.)
said tonight that new and "very
mysterious" developments have
come to light in the Amerasia
document theft case.
That is the case which Sun.
Joseph R. McCarthy, (R., Wis.),
has declared will reveal a "most
important Soviet espionage" net
work when the fully story conies
out.
To Get At Bottom
A senate foreign relations sub
committee investigating McCar
thy's charges of communism in
the state department has prom
ised to 'get to the roots" of the
new Amerasia developments.
Meanwhile, attorneys for
Owen Lattimore, the Far East
ern expert accused by McCarthy
of being a communist spy, asked
the subcommittee to continue in
public all hearings bearing on
their client.
The attorneys also asked
Chairman Millard E. Tydings
(D.. Md.), to let Lattimore answer
each hostile witness immediate
ly after the witness testifies, and
to examine all documents or
other material presented in evi
dence. Former Communist Leader
Louis F. Budenz, who testified
publicly last Thursday that party

a communist, is scheduled to
testify again in closed session on
Tuesday.
Hickenlooper, a member of the

Nearly $1 Million
Needed by Rural
Schools in 1950-51
The Jackson county rural
school board has completed its
work of auditing the budgets of
individual rural districts and an
nounced yesterday- that it will
require $951,553.62 to operate
about 25 rural schools during
the 1950-51 school year. That is
nearly $100,000 less than the
budget of the board for last year.
The budget must be submitted
to a vote by residents in the dis
trict since it exceeds the six per
cent limitation by $719,756.20.
The routine of approving the
budget by vote has been required
for many years and County
School Superintendent C. R.
Bowman said this will continue
to be the case "because the levy
base of $237,797.42 is entirely
inadequate. He said failure to
get the approval of the voters
to make the required equalized
levy over the county would
force each of the individual dis
tricts to raise approximately
three-fourths of their levies
themselves.
The budget election has been.
set for May 15.

C-54 WRECKAGE FOUND
SOUTHWEST OF TOKYO;
NO SURVIVORS SPOTTED
Tokyo. Japan. Sunday, Apr. 23 (U.R) American and
Japanese ground patrols today reached the wreckage of a C-S4
transport carrying 35 Americans which crashed into a moua
slope southwest of Tokyo.
The pilot of one of two helicopters hovering over the scene
on a 4,600-foot mountain peak radioed that the ground patrols
reached the wreckage about 2 p.m. There were no reports of
survivors, and a B-17 that flew over earlier saw no sign of life.
Tokyo, Sunday, Apr. 23 (U.R) The wreckage of a C-54 plana
that carried 35 Americans was found on a mountain slope south
west of Tokya today by a B-17 search plane.
The B-17 crew reported that there was no sign of survivors
and that the wreckage was strewn over a wide area.
Headquarters for the search for the C-54, which crashed
Friday as it was returning from Manila, announced officially
that the wreckage had been spotted on the south side of Mount
Hirugatake at 12:20 p.m. today.
The announcement said the wreckage was identified by a
number on the side of the plane.
Ground rescue squads trudging through rugged terrain had
not yet reached the scene.
A helicopter arrived at the area and hovered over the wreck
age to direct the ground parties.
Southwest of Tokyo
The B-17. flying by instru
ments in cloudy and misty wea
ther, spotted and identified the
crashed plane through a break
in the clouds.
The scene of the crash is in
the Tanzawa range, about 60
miles southwest of Tokyo.
An earlier, unconfirmed re
port said a 300-man American
ground party had sighted the
wreckage on Mount Hirugatake,
three fourths of the way up the
south side.
The party was among 80 pa
trols of American troops and
Japanese that blanketed moun
tain slopes in the area through
out the day hunting the plane.
Altogether 2,700 Americans
and 800 Japanese participated in
the hunt, which probably was
the greatest search expedition
ever carried out here.
There still was slight hope
that the Datrols might reach the
wreckage of the plane, which
crashed and burned late Friday
as lt returned from the Philip
pines, in time to find some of
the 27 passengers and eignt crew
members alive.
Notables Aboard
The passengers were reported
to have included five nign occu
pation officials, one a woman,
from Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
headquarters. They had negotiat
ed a Japanese-Philippines trade
agreement at Manila.
Others reported on the plane
included two women, two chil
dren. 15 army officers, nine en
listed men, an international busi
ness machine representative and
a member of the army's Philip
pine command.
- Rain and a 300-foot celling
grounded most planes attempt
ing to snot the wreckage from
the air. However, two L-5 obser
vation planes hovered over the
5,400-foot Mount Hirugatake.
Search Parties Sent
At dawn, ground search par-
tics set out from villages around
two mountain peaks. Japanese
and American searchers went
nut from camp sites in and near
this village, which was being
ised by Japanese police as search
headquarters under District
;ommander msao Yamagucm.
The army and air force fur
nished all patrols with "walkie-
olkic radois and sent radio men
long with the Japanese teams.
Military police jeeps parked at
the foot of the mauntains were
orepared to relay messages to
the search commanders and, if
possible, establish contact with

Aims at Control
Major Clayton Wallace, gen

Wallace will speak in behalf of
the proposal in Portland, Sun

Albany next week.
