9 o o G o o EIGHT MZDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, December 20, 1955 Combating Fires Discussed At Forest Service Meeting Action taken to combat forest fires during the current year an4 suggestions for improving fire fighting methods were discussed af a two-day meeting of United States Forest Service personnel in the Federal building recently. Cooperation received from other agencies and private in dustry while combating numer ous explosive lorest fires last September was praised accord ing to Jack Woods, supervisor of the Rogue River National forest. c KorQCompleie0 Listing It was suggested that a more complete listing of equipment available for fire fighting from private industry ghould be "'made, and additional training in fire fighting techniques should be available to foremen and supervisors of private in dustry crews. Need for a local observer, fa- miliar with terrain where0 there might be several fires close to each other, to accpmpany and direct planes carrying smoke 0 jumpers was pointed out. Many fires in a small area on the Cascade divide this year re sulted in some confusion when smoke jumpers, directed only by lookout informatin were not . o certain about which of the fires were most badly in need of fighters. Additional ' Training It was also pointed out at the meeting that additional training in time-keeping and behind-the-lines activites might be benefi cial. About 35 Forest service per sonnel attended the meeting which was conducted by S. T. Moore, fire control assistant of Rogue River National forest. Kermit W. Lindstedt, Portland, assistant regional forester in charge of fire control; and Ralph A. James, Yreka fire control as sistant of the Klamath National forest, were among those who attended.

Military Command charged the Communists today with "in discriminate" firing upon an un armed U.N. helicopter. The U.N. command disclosed that one of its "unarmed heli- coptors" was fired upon on Dec 7 by Communist guns when it "inadvertently flew over -Red controlled territory east of Kae- song." The United Nations said the Reds fired on the American made helicopter with anti-aircraft guns. However, the ' heli copter was not hit. "It is evident," U. S. Navy Capt. David L. Roscoe told the Red military command, "that your side is determined to shoot down every U. N. command air craft which comes within range of your weapons." Roscoe, secretary of the U.N. side of the Joint Military Armi stice Commission, delivered his protest to North Korean Army Col. Li Yong in a meeting at the Panmunjom truce village. Roscoe told the Communist offi cer that three U.N. fliers have been "killed under similar cir cumstances" during the past 12 months. "We protest strongly against indiscriminate attacks," Roscoe told Yong. "Each of these need less attacks has added proof of the insincerity of your side which has often proclaimed high humanitarian principles." The U.N. announcement said the pilot of the "bubble" type helicopter became confused and "mistaRingly flew oyer Commu nist controlled territory," but did not say how far into the Red region the craft got. Name of the pilot was not revealed. - - m -a 4 - I ' ' sr miimi iiiii iiiJn iiiiimi il iiiiiiwrTniiirn HERE, HERE Hugh Gaitskell waves to cheering crowd at- Transport House in London after defeating both leftist Aneurin Bevan and moderate Herbert Morrison for the leadership of Britain's Labor Party.

Housing Programs Benefit Communities Chicago (U.R) Local public housing programs have brought added advantages to a number of communities, a group reports. The Journal of Housing, monthly magazine of the Na tional Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, said housing programs are ac complishing much more than their basic purpose of replacing slums and providing shelter for low-income families. As some of the benefits to specific communities, it listed: A new residential subdivision has grown up in Orlando, Fla., in an area where two public housing projects were among the first to break ground. Values in Chino, Calif., have risen an estimated 250 to 300 per cent for land next to two public projects there. Public housing projects built In Puerto Rico . brought water systems and sewage disposal fa cilities to adjoining neighbor hoods that did not have them be fore. Louisville, Ky., now has five community buildings and 43 more acres of playground space as part of the program of the city's public housing agency. Augusta, Me. U.R) Baby- "kissing is on the way out for one campaigning Maine officeholder. Rep. Charles P. Nelson (R-Me.) instead is sending new parents a letter informing them of an "ex cellent" government booklet entitled "Infant Care." Rosemary Clooney Prefers Records New York (U.R) Rosemary Clooney would rather make rec ords than movies. Why? "Because," she said, "you can still make records when you're pregnant." Rosemary, married to actor Jose Ferrer has one child, Miguel, but she wants five more "just like him." Another reason for Rosie lik ing the record business is sum med up in one word flexibility. "If they need you to record something in a great big hurry, you don't have to be in New York or Hollywood," she ex plained. "You can cut a record in any big city, here or in Eu rope." Rosie's preference also has its sentimental side, for it was her Columbia disk, "Come-On-A-My-House," that first established her as a star. "And to think," she recalled. "Mitch Miller (Columbia's artist and repertoire chief) had to ar gue with me to make that rec ord. Since then, I've let Mitch pick my songs. I don't argue with him any more." Career and Marriaga Rosemary and her sister, Bet ty, started their professional singing careers on radio station WLW in Cincinnati as teen agers. Tony Pastor heard them and hired them for his band. The girls traveled all over the country, sometimes doing 60 songs a night. Ironically, the first time Eosie ever suffered from laryngitis was when she was booked into a Chicago theater, her first "im portant" booking as a single. To this day she is convinced that laryngitis among singers is chiefly psychosomatic. She a-s it sometimes develops when they feel they won't be able to live up to an audience's expec tations. She hasn't been bother ed lately. So smooth it leaves you breathless OLD mimoff tfte greatest J . VOBKA 10 proof. Made from 1 00 grain neutral spina, Ste. Pierre Smirnoff FIs. Inc.. Hartford.
