654 Carrying Jubilant Fliers To Honolulu for Reunion ffiih Famllie
All-Out Welcome
Assured for Four
Ai Hickam Field
Honolulu (U.R) Four jubilant
American fliers released from
Red China after two years' cap
tivity flew today to freedom and
a joyful reunion with their
families.
The fliers left Hong Kong
Tuesday almost immediately
fter crossing the border from
Red China. One of them said it
was the "happiest day of my
life."
Their plane landed at Guam
at 11:10 a.m. (PST) Tuesday and
took off again two hours later.
After a brief refueling flight on
Wake Island, it left for Hickam
Field Honolulu. It was to arrive
here this morning.
The fliers are:
Jet ace Capt. Harold E. Fisch
er, 28, Swea City, la., who was
shot down April 7, 1953; Lt. Col.
Edwin L. Heller, 36, Wynnewood,
Pa., downed Jan. 23, 1953; 1st
Lt. Lyle W. Cameron, Lincoln,
Neb., downed Oct. 26, 1953; and
1st Lt. Roland W. Parks, 24,
Omaha, Neb., downed Sept. 4,
1952.
Firing in 'Bataan'
They were flying across the
Pacific in the "Bataan," the C54
transport used by Gen. Douglas
MacArthur during and after the
Pacific war.
Maj. Gen. Sory Smith, Pacific
Air Force commander, cancelled
an inspection trip to the Far
East to personally insure an all
out welcome for the four fliers
here. He wai determined they
would enjoy their homecoming
with as few formalities as possi
ble. Meanwhile, an Air Force Con
stellation from Washington was
speeding nine relatives of the
airmen to Hawaii.
The plane was to stop first in
Philadelphia to pick up Heller's
wife, Mrs. Judith Heller. It will
then stop at Omaha where eight
other relatives of the other three
fliers will board the plane.
Arrive Thursday
The plane will arrive at Hono
lulu at 10 a.m. (PST) Thursday.
A loud but informal welcome
awaited the four airmen at Hick
am Field today. After brief in
terviews they were to be taken
to Tripler Hospital for physical
check ups. After that, they will
be returned to Hickam Air Force
Base, where they will be as
signed family type quarters.
Also awaiting the four will be
paychecks amounting to $15,000
each for two of the fliers, and be
tween $12,00 and $13,000 for the
other two. The exact amounts
were not disclosed.

Of Supreme Court's 'Prompt' School Desegration Order
Washington U.R) The Su
preme Court's "prompt but reas
onable" school desegration order
promised today to touch off a
flood of lawsuits that could be
passing through the courts for
decades.

Elk Will Display
Fire Equipment
Elk Lumber company has in
vited the public to see its forest
fire fighting equipment, which
will be on display beginning at
about 3 p.m. Thursday, on the
dike near the pond at the Elk
mill site north of Medford.
Truman Collin.s major stock
holder in the firm, will be here
from Portland together with oth
er company officials, and Elk
has also invited forest service,
state forestry department and
private foresters and others to
see the display.
B. Sam Taylor, woods superin
tendent for Elk, explained today
.that the company now owns
some 70,000 acres of forest land,
much of it purchased in a cut
over state to add to the tree
farming area, and as a result
their fire protection liability has
increased greatly. About one
third of the land is in the Elk
creek area, about one-third near
Prospect, and the other third
scattered throughout the county.
The fire - fighting equipment
will be stationed at 'Elk creek,
in Prospect and at Medford, and
all can be directed by radio
from Medford headquarters to
meet any situation.
Farm Families Living
Better Than in 1945
Washington (U.R) The
Agriculture Department report
ed today that farm families are
living better than they did in
1945, 34 per cent better, to be
exact.
The report was based on level
of living indexes for four key
items, percentages of farms with
electricity, with telephones, and
with automobiles, and the value
of products sold from these
farms.
The department said farm lev
els of living have been going up
since 1930, the first year for
which the indexes are available.
The index increased rapidly dur
ing the 1940-1950 period, but
has slackened considerably since
1950.
the controversial issue is writ
ten, the high court undoubtedly
will have to spell out in case
after case what it considers
prompt and reasonable.
The compromise integration
order was so generally worded
that its interpretation by lower
courts is bound to be challenged
repeatedly by one side or the j
other.
One Southern leader in Con
gress, who would not be identi
fied, predicted complete integ
ration of Southern schools might
take years and involve "much
more litigation." And Rep. John
Bell Williams (D-Miss.) predicted
"not years but generations of
litigation . . ."
Shortly after the court handed
down the order Tuesday, South
ern officials again asserted their
firm opposition to admitting
white and Negro children to the
same schools, either now or in
the near future.
Some states have already
taken steps to avoid rapid inte
gration. Georgia, Mississippi and
Snow, Hail, Wind
Welcome June in
Paris of Nation
By UNITED PRESS
June began like March today
snow, hail, thunderstorms, and
gusty winds hit parts of the na
tion. The mercury dipped to the 40s
in the western third of the coun
ty. The nation's low today was
a chilling 34 at Ely, Nev where
nearly an inch and a half of
snow fell in a 24-hour period.
Central and Northern Plains
states were pelted last night by
widely scattered hail storms.
Thunderstorms drenched a few
areas where gusty winds kicked
up dust in the Southwest.
Heavy rain hit New England,
with Burlington, Vt., recording
more than an inch in six hours.
Scattered rain meanwhile fol
lowed snow in Nevada. The
snow had piled up to two inches
deep on the ground at Reno,
Nev., at Blue Canyon, Calif.,
three inches of snow was measur
ed on the ground yesterday.
The cold air swept down from
Canada and moved over the cen
tral plateau and Central Rocky
mountain region. It dropped
temperatures 20 to 30 degrees
over Nevada and parts of Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho.
The cold front moved east
ward during the night and was
to center over Western Minneso
ta and Nebraska by tonight,
pushing scattered showers and
thunderstorms ahead of it.
The south was having more
June-like weather with the mer
cury hitting 90 yesterday at Mi
ami, Fla., and 103 at Presidio,
Tex. Generally clear skies were
forecast for today.
Largest Peacetime
Troop Movement Set
Fort Riley, Kans. U.R)
"Operation Gyroscope," the
transfer this summer of 20,000
persons from Fort Rilev to Ger
many, will be the largest peace
time troop movement in Ameri
can military history.
It also probablv will he the
first time the Army sends 300
private cars, 380 cats, dogs, and
canaries overseas.
"Operation Gyroscope" will
transplant the 10th Infantry Div
ision now at Fort Rilev. to South.
ern Germany. The First Division,
now in Germany, will be "ro
tated" back home to Fort Riley.
As a morale-building gesture,
soldiers of the 10th are being
allowed not only their families
but their cars and pets. The auto
mobiles must be taken to New
York at the. soldier's expense,
however. The Army will pay
for shipment across the Atlan
tic. ;

South Carolina have threatened
to abolish public schools. The
North Carolina legislature has
given local school officials the
power to assign pupils to schools,
leaving them free to place the
races in separate school. Louisi
ana has adopted a similar plan.
Sooner or later, the Supreme
Court will have to decide
whether such steps are constitu
tional. Many lawyers believe the
tribunal would not uphold the
wiping out of public schools. But
there are no precedents to go by.
The immediate impact of the
court's order will be felt only
in four school districts in Kan
sas, the District of Columbia,
South Carolina and Virginia.
They were parties to the original
segregation cases decided by the
Supreme Court last year.
Only the two Southern states
present any problems. The
others have substantially ended
segregated schools.
