Many Expected Dr. Lee Mellish told the com mittee there may be as many as 900 Lions and their wives here June 11, 12 and 13 for the state convention of Lions Internation al. The Medford club has already received 643 paid reservations, Dr. Mellish said, and every ho tel and motel in Medford and in the suburban areas has been booked solid for those three days. "Scotty" Matheny, of the Jacksonville Lions club, report ed that his organization has re ceived inquiries from every state in the union about ,this year's Jacksonville Gold Rush jubilee. On the final day of last year's jubilee, he said, the little town of Jacksonvilel was jam-packed with 12,00 visitors. The chief problem this year, according to Matheny, will be housing, and he appealed to the chamber for assistance. The committee concluded its meeting with a discussion of plans for a tourist host school that would assure an informed citizenry who could more ade- auatelv assist tourists in this area who are looking for infor mation. Committee Chairman Rav Clark annninted John Sni der and Larry Barnes to handle the details oi the scnooi. Five Soldiers Killed In Highway Accident Tomah. Wis.. May 2 (U.R) - Five soldiers were killed when their car crashed into a huge automobile transport truck on the western outskirts of town. Names of the men, who were stationed at Camp McCoy near Sparta, Wis., were withheld by military authorities pending no tification of their relatives. The car collided with the trailer on U. S. highway 16. The car was headed eastward toward Tomah and the truck was west bound. Top Sheared Off Sheriff Hans R. Biegel said the force of the collision sheared the top off the car and left twisted wreckage "all over the high way." "Two of the bodies were man gled so badly that we could barely identify them," Biegel said. "We found one arm 60 feet from the crash." The driver of the truck. Don ald Bellman of Winona, Minn suffered only minor injuries but was in a condition of shock and could not give authorities a clear description of what hap pened. "I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary about the car when it was coming at me." he said. "Then it hit and everything happened so fast I can't be sure what went on." Natural Bridge, Va.

Adler and Draper Counsel Attacks Libel Suit Methods Hartford, Conn., May 2 (U.R) Counsel for Entertainers Larry Adler and Paul Draper hit today at what he called an attempt to prove them "guilty by associa tion" of communist leanings. Attorney Frederick H. Wiggin argued that counsel for Mrs. Hes ter R. McCullough was using this method while defending the Greenwich housewife in the $200,000 libel suit brought by the harmonica virtuoso and dancer. The federal court jury was ex cused as Wiggin objected to the introduction of literature con cerning the Abraham Lincoln school in Chicago, which has been citd by the United States attorney general as an "adjunct of the communist party." The literature contains the picture of Adler, which he said was used without his permission, Draper, and several other per sons who also have been accused of pro-communist leanings. They included Singer Paul Robeson who, Adler said, "I believe to be pro-communist. The argument came after Ad ler testified yesterday that se curing milk for babies and money for two hospitals was his chief concern when he clayed for the joint anti-fascist refugee com mittee which had been cited by the attorney general as being a "communist front." Youth Takes Own Life To Evade Deportation Portland, Ore., May 2 U.R) A 16-year old alien youth be lieved to be either Australian or Canadian killed himself in a room at the downtown YMCA to day rather than face deportation to his native land.

Roommate Unaware A roommate, Donald L. Gam mong, was sleeping in another bed and apparently was unaware of Moosa's death until awakened.
