TElf MEDFORD (OREGOTI) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, March 29. 1955 v Police Press Search For Missing Gi Detroit (U.R) Police today discredited two messages prom ising the safety of 7-year-old Barbara Gaca missing since Thursday, and pressed the search for her with renewed vigor. The most recent promise of the safety of the little brown haired girl came in a telephone call to her uncle last night. An anonymous caller asked the uncle if he was a relative of the missing girl and then promised to release her "in five minutes." Police swarmed to the spot designated for the release but the girl failed to appear during several hours of waiting. Authorities admitted it was possible that the presence of po lice scared off the girl's abductor but said they believed the call was the work of a crank Who never had any intention of show ing up. Earlier, the parents of the girl received a letter fashioned from words clipped from newspapers saying their daughter was still alive.

(U.R) A pre liminary investigation of the Pan American world airways stratocruiser crash off the Ore gon coast Saturday was under way today by the Civil Aero nautics Board here. A CAB representative said there was "very little information to work on." He said there was little hop the engine, which fell off, and the fuselage could be recovered because of the depth of the water. Four Die Four persons died of shock, ex posure and drowning after Pilot Herman Joslyn ditched the lux ury airliner about 35 miles off the Oregon coast 12 minutes after leaving Portland enroute to Hon olulu. Nineteen persons managed to get into three liferafts, either by jumping into or swimming from the plane to them. The USS Bayfield picked them up two hours later and brought them here. Pan-American officials said they had completed their investi gation and the matter was now in the hands of the CAB. Capt. Joslyn told Pan Ameri can officials he could offer little in the way of explanation about what happened to the engine. He said there suddenly was a violent shuddering and the No. 3 engine tore loose and plunged into the ocean. Joslyn said he was unable to maintain altitude, probably because of extensive damage to cables and controls, and decided to ditch the big plane.. A NichoVs Vorth of . ..

NICHOLS United Pratt Fittur Writer ' - SiS $. jr narman Mcnois Washington (U.R) Jim Mit chell, our Secretary of Labor, not nnlv knows the problems of 1 the working man, but he speaks their 3 lingo. 5 His report to the Congress - on the labor front for fis cal 1954 shock ed a lot of old timers, who were used to running to the Webster to learn that a device for driving, often as not turns out to be a hammer. 'The Department of Labor," James Paul Mitchell told the law makers, "looks upon the wage earners of our nation as individuals, not ' as a mass of nameless ciphers." A poll recently was made among American workmen on the question of "What is a job?" Jim worked through the results and found that the matter of money came in for show money or third, and that "above all, the worker wants recognition as a human being." And so on, in the report, which has' been digested by la bor and industry, as well. Mitchell, speaking the lan guage of the man behind the saw, as well as the carrier of the hod, eliminated the gobbledy gook, and just plain told his story. A worker wrote in and said: "My mother was killed in an explosion at work. To most peo ple, it was a headline, but to my father and us four children, it was a terrible shock. Most of the women workers were not schooled in the danger of high explosives." The worker got a letter of sympathy from the secretary, and assurance that something would be done to protect em ployees in that particular plant from pain, or possibly death while earning their living. George Lodge, and the secre tary, too, have received a flood of mail from high officials, and the little man, too. Lodge is director of public in formation for the department. He is about to frame a nice let ter he got from the White House on the report. It was signed by Howard Pyle, administrative as sistant to the President. It said: "We have received a copy of "the Secretary of Labor reports. It looks like good reading." A carpenter from Wisconsin wrote to the secretary person ally and said: "I hope you don't mind if I start our 'Dear Jim,' but that's the way you make us feel out here. You say things we, can understand and make us feel as though we belong. I guess I'll just sign this thing, 'cordially, Bill,' if you don't mind." Guy L. Brown, grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, wrote in to say he was quite surprised to learn that the annual report was written in "quite readable and very interesting language." Henry C. Fleisher, publicity director of the CIO, said, said: "I skimmed through the report, which is more than I have done with Department of Labor re ports in recent years, and I think you have done a fine job in helping humanize material and make it readable." Even the captains of industry, many of them, wrote compli menting the secretary for put ting a common thing in common words. Panama's Former Leader Sentenced .Panama (U.R) The National Assembly today sentenced for mer President Jose R. Guizado to six years and eight months in prison for his part in the murder of his predecessor. The National Assembly stayed in session all night to convict Guizado of complicity in the ma chine gun assassination of the late President Jose A. Remon at a Panama City race track last Jan. 2. The session was conducted under the most stringent secrecy precautions, which led to many wild and unconfirmed rumors before the verdict was disclosed. Prosecutor Lasso de la vega reported before the Assembly meeting ended that the vote against Guizado was 45 to 8. Guizado had pleaded innocent at the start of his trial in the As sembly, which acted as a 53 member jury. 4-H Club News ' Valley View Club Valley View Cooking club met March 19 at Lorna Chapman's home.

Minister Defends President Against Attack on His Faith Denver (U.R) The pastor who preached to the President during two vacations in Denver defended Mr. Eisenhower today as a man "sincere in his faith." The Rev. Robert S. Lutz re plied to Sen. Matthew" Neely (D W.Va) who suggested that the President was hypocritically making political capital out of going to church although before his election he belonged to no organized religious faith. Bitter Personal Attack In one of the most bitter per sonal attacks on the President, Neely told 3,000 delegates to the United Auto Workers' conven tion in Cleveland Monday that the President's church attend ance nevertheless has been "well publicized." "Next Monday I don't want to have to see in the papers a pic ture of the President and a story that he attended this or that church. "Away with hypocrisy. I don't care what religious group is in volved. If that is an unfair state ment they can make the most of it," Neely said. "A person can state a fact and with it distort a truth." the Rev. Lutz said of Senator Neely's crit icism. "When the President was bap tized and joined the National Presbyterian church in Washing ton he said he was nailing down his faith. He explained he hadn't joined a church because he wasn't ever in one place long enough. "He was an old friend of the. pastor of the National Presby terian church and had attended his services when that pastor wai an Army chaplain. "By personal contact I know him to be sincere in his faith. There was never any attempt to make a show of his church at tendance here. When I told him I would not announce that he was coming to church, he told me, 'That's the way I want it.' " the Rev. Lutz said. r I I 4 IV II I 1 1 n k 111 A rara m 1 lift mmw m m m m -e mm mm m .w LaJJLLtJUdJ in OOO 1 II T g .
