Conventions and
Tourist Problems
Talked by Group
The tourist and convention
committee of the Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce met at
the Medford hotel yesterday
noon for a discussion of the need
to promote the Jacksonville mu
seum as the only attraction of
it kind in this part of the state,
of the Jacksonville Gold Rush
lubilee. the Lions club state con
vention to be held here next
month, and of the money busi
nessmen lose by buying "fly-by-nisht"
advertising.
Ron Gandee reported to the
committee on the progress being
made on new informational
folders being printed by the
rhamher to eive "thumbnail" in
formation about the attractions
in the Medford area. He said the
Jacksonville museum will be
featured prominently in the fold
ers and that they should be
readv for distribution within
two or three weeks.
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. (U.R)
When water being dammed to
form a scenic lake here threat
ened to drown out a family of
bunnies in a field, the lake
management ordered the water
cut off until Mama Rabbit and
her brood could be moved. The
delay took several days.

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.
Police identified the victim as
Gregory Spencer Moosa. who ar
rived here April 19 from Los
Aneeles and apparently was an
employee of a motor service com
pany. Officers said Moosa re
turned to his room at the YMCA
about 5 a. mi after a drinking
party and was found a short
time later in a pool of blood on
his bed. A .22 caliber rifle lay
across his legs.
Roommate Unaware
A roommate, Donald L. Gam
mong, was sleeping in another
bed and apparently was unaware
of Moosa's death until awakened.
If I kill myself -notify Mrs.
Carol, I love you, read
a note found under the body.
It was written on the back of
a letter addressed to Moosa from
the immigration service and noti
fied him that his application for
an extension of his stay in this
country had been denied.
