Moose To Conduct
Christmas Tree
Pickup for MOD
Medford Lodge 178, Loyal Or
der of Moose, has announced
plant for its annual Christmas
Tree Lift, to be held throughout
the county on Sunday, Jan. 1.
Persons desiring to give their
Yule trees to the lift have been
asked to place them in their
front yards with an envelope
containing a contribution to the
J.Iarch of Dimes, according to
Mirl Morse, governor of the
lodge. Morse said all money re
ceived will be turned over to
the fight against polio, with the
lodge duducting nothing for
pickup expense.
Chairmen in each section of
the county are now being ap
pointed, Morse said, and these
chairmen will work directly with
March of Dime chairmen in each
locality. Money collected in each
locality will be turned over to
the MOD chairman in that area
for proper credit, the lodge gov
ernor said.
A Yule burn has been planned,
when all trees will be taken to
a central area and be ignited.
This is the second year the lodge
has sponsored the Christmas tree
pickup. The project raised ap
proximately $550 for the March
of Dimes last year.
Morse pointed out that the
lodge members realize that the
fight against polio has not been
won despite development of the
Salk vaccine and that they are
anxious to do their part in rais
ing more money to combat the
dread disease.
Jury Tentatively
Picked in Fong Case
Portland OJ.R) A tentative
jury of nine men and three
women was selected yesterday
in the first degree murder triai
of Sherry Fong.
Circuit Judge Alfred Dobson
told defense and state attorneys
he would tolerate no haggling
over "political charges," one of
the reasons for last month's mis
trial. It was the third attempt by
the state to convict Mrs. Fong of
the 1954 slaying of 16-year-old
Diane Hank. Sherry and her
husband, Wey Him Fong, were
declared guilty several months
ago but Judge Dobson overruled
the verdict on technical grounds.
The mistrial came on the second
attempt four weeks ago.
Judge Dobson yesterday de
nied a defense motion that jur
ors not be locked up during the
Thanksgiving holiday. The
judge declared the case was of
too much public interest.
Madras Man Dies as
Fire Burns Trailer
Madras (U.R) A 73-year-old
man burned to death early
yesterday when his wooden
house trailer caught fire on a
farm near Ashwood 25 miles
east of here in 14 below zero
weather.
The victim was identified by
Jefferson County Coroner Ed
Mason as N. R. Cornett, who
had been employed on the Tom
McDonald farm south of Ash
wood since 1904. Mason said it
was believed that a wood stove
in the trailer overheated.
Tuna Clipper Sinks While Being Towed
Newport, Ore. (U.R) The
tuna clipper Marne B of Whid
bey Island, Wash., sank while
under tow by the Coast Guard
yesterday two miles south of
here near Seal Rock.
The craft caught fire off Wald
port. Ore., and the skipper, Ott
Forde, was rescued by two Coast
Guard ships. They took the
burning clipper under tow and
proceeded toward Newport, bat
tling the flames en route. No
one else was aboard.
Forde said the vessel devel
oped a short circuit in the elec
trical system and burst into
flames. He had unloaded most
of his tuna at Eureka yesterday
and was headed for Whidbey
Island.
Coast Guardsmen said the
flames broke through the hull
of the wooden ship while it was
under tow and it sank immediately.

Oklahoma Party
Battle Tackled
By Top Democrats
Chicago (U.R) The nation's
top Democrats tried to settle a
battle between Oklahoma party
leaders today before tackling the
job of planning their 1956 presi
dential convention.
The party's credential commit
tee meets to hear arguments on
whether William C. Doenges
"resigned" as Oklahoma's na
tional committeeman last year.
The fight involved Oklahoma
Gov. Raymond Gary, who de
feated Doenges in the state's
1954 gubernatorial primary and
has since backed James H. Ar
rington for the committeeman's
post.
'Offered' To Resign
Doenges claims he merely "of
fered" to resign before entering
the 1954 primary Ind that he
has since filled the job and cast
votes as committeeman.
The Oklahoma controversy
was a prelude to formal meet
ings of the Democratic National
Committee starting Wednesday.
The pow wow will reach its
climax Saturday night, with a
SlOO-a-plate dinner and a speech
by Adlai E. Stevenson, newly
announced candidate for the
party's presidential nomination.
More Controversy
In addition to the Oklahoma
fight, more controversy may de
velop Wednesday if the national
committee decides to thrash out
the dispute over the "loyalty"
of Southerners who bolted the
Stevenson ticket in 1952.
The committee is also slated
to do something about the long
polling of convention delegates.
On Friday, state chairmen and
vice-chairmen will huddle with
a recently-appointed committee
on political organization and agriculture.

Violent Storms Injure Several in Middle States
By UNITED PRESS
A wild storm ripped up the
nation's midsection, spewing
tornadoes in three states, and
pounded Ohio River Valley with
heavy thunderstorms today.
To the west, a long-delayed
cold wave cracked out of the icy
Northern Rockies and ran chil
ling fingers through the North
ern Plains. Another storm cen
ter rolled out of Missouri into
Wisconsin.
Many Injured
At least one person was killed
and 21 were injured last night
when tornadoes and devastating
wind storms hit communities in
Arkansas, Indiana, and Ohio.
Indiana got the worst buffet
ing when at least three twisters
struck at Winchester, the south
side of Indianapolis, and at Gen

Gentryville, while the Indian
apolis twister, caused only minor
damage.
18 Homes Damaged

violent wind storm and 1.31
inches of rain. Ten persons wre
injured, three from one family,
and 18 homes were damaged,

Air Crash Cause
Remains Mystery
Denver (U.R) A Civil Aero
nautics Board hearing into the
cause of the nation's worst civil
air disaster left it as much a
mystery as ever today.
CAB examiners questioned
more than a score of witnesses
before the two-day hearing end
ed yesterday. None "could give
a reason for the crash against
Medicine Bow Peak in Wyom
ing on Oct. 6, in which 66 per
sons died.
United Air Lines officials tes
tified that the pilot, Clinton C.
Cooke Jr., had a spotless com
pany record, had never been re
primanded for violation of a
flight regulation, and could not
have saved any time on his way
to Salt Lake City by trying to
fly over the mountain.
Unquestionably, the plane was
20 miles off its course. But the
weather was clear, and all radio
airway markers were function
ing at the time of the crash. ,
The CAB examiners were told
that all evidence found in the
wreckage of the DC4 indicated
that the plane, which had been
maintained and serviced prop
erly, was structurally sound. The
condition of the propellers indi
cated when the plane crashed
against the 12,005-foot peak,
about 50 feet below the summit.
Madrid, Spain (U.R) James
Louis Cardinal Copello, arch
bishop of Buenos Aires, Argen
tina, arrived Tuesday by ship en
route to Genoa, Italy, to cele
brate the 20th anniversary of his
elevation to cardinal.
